Hi dolls!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the first edition of the Lagos Makeup Fair last year, I discovered an amazingg makeup store, Gifty's daughter. What drew my attention to their stand was their beautiful and stacked up display of NYX products. It was like a makeup coven, however, I was displeased to hear they were based in Port Harcourt. Over time, I kept tabs on them and heard they were launching another branch here in Lagos and as usual I just had to see for myself! The interior is very simple and nice with mostly white walls and purple and white wallpaper on other walls. Take a look:</div>

Hi dolls!<br />
<br />
Today's post is a slight shift from the regular makeup talk or anything beauty for that matter. Have you guys heard of SweetKiwi? I had heard about them but never tried them out till two sundays ago and my was I in love! <br />
They make natural frozen yoghurt that is fat FREE! How cool is that? It contains active live cultures and a range of sweet, dry and healthy fruit toppings that help. So you see, even with my diet I can still have some froyo (frozen yoghurt)<br />
<br />
I had a mix of Peanut butter and Rasberry flavours with no toppings. Here's what it looked like:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I particularly LOVED the spoon and did keep the spoon Haha!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
They have a WIDE range of dry toppings- Chocolate chips, chocolate pretzels, yoghurt chips, mini m&m's, crushed waffers, gummy bears, Chopped Peanuts, Granola, Chopped Cashew Nuts, Kelloggs Crunchy Nut, Roasted almonds, Fruity Dyno-bites, Fruity loops<br />
<br />
and Fruit toppings: Maraschino Cherries, Papaya, Watermelon, Grapes,Banana, Kiwi, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries & Pineapples.<br />

<br />
<br />
SweetKiwi is upstairs to your left, at the Palms Shopping mall, Lekki. Here's what their corner looks like<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
They also have syrup toppings i.e caramel, strawberry, honey, chocolate, etc<br />
<br />
I had the small cup which costs N750, but they have bigger cups and waffle cones that cost about N900 or more<br />
<br />
PROS:<br />
1. Packaging- Very cute cup and spoon<br />
2. Good source of protein<br />
3. dried fruits aid digestion and bio availability of nutrients<br />
4. Lowers cholesterol and lowers risk of heart disease<br />
5. it is FAT FREE (I can't stress this enough!)<br />
<br />
CONS<br />
Still trying to figure what could possibly be wrong with SweetKiwi<br />
<br />
The Pros outweigh the Cons so I'll definitely be going back! Who else has tried SweetKiwi, Yaay or Nay?<br />

Hi dolls!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Remember when I used to do the ‘Yay or Nay’ posts? Well,
they’re back and this time for good! Today, I’ll be reviewing NYX True Red Matte
lipstick.<br />
Here’s what it looks like:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I bought this lipstick from Jennifer of Macquillage by Lisa
for N2,000 at a beauty workshop sometime last month. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve used it a couple of times and even on clients and it’s
amazingggg! In my opinion, it’s the perfect dupe for MAC’s Ruby Woo. I know a
lot of you are probably rolling your eyes and going ‘yeah right’. Trust me
dolls, it’s that good. See some pictures of when I used it on myself and a client
too:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now tell me I’m wrong</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The good thing about this product is that unlike the Ruby Woo
which a lot of people find really dry, this isn’t as dry and cakey as the Ruby
woo tends to feel on the lips</div>

You know those lipsticks you buy and then try on and you’re like, “but this isn’t what the colour looks like”. Exactly, this isn’t the case with this lipstick. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">3. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Long wear- I had this on for more than 5hourrs, ate and dint need to retouch once! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">4. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Price- Very affordable when compared to the likes of MAC, Bobbi Brown, Tom Ford, etc</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">5. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Texture- Majority of matte products tend to dry up the lips even after using a balm prior to lipstick application. This however isn’t the case with this product. Be sure to apply a balm first and you’ll be fine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<b>CONs</b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;">
1 <span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 1. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Availability- For those of us who live in Lagos, buying makeup here can be a struggle. I only recently found a store that stocks NYX in Lagos, still I can’t guarantee how often they’ll have this particular product.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;">
2. <span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Although it does have staying power, the Ruby woo still beats this product in this area hands.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 3. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Odour- Smells decent nothing extraordinary.</span><br />
<br />
The Pros outweigh the Cons so it’s
a YAY! Who else agrees with me?<br />
<br />

Hi dolls!<br />
<br />
I wrote a beauty article for TW Magazine, March edition on makeup brushes. I was super excited when I was approached and I hope you dolls grabbed a copy. If you didn't, not to worry; here's the entire article below. Share your thoughts!<br />
<br />
"It is very satisfying to see that a lot of women are becoming more aware of the importance of makeup brushes and are not just leaving it to the professionals to acquire. However, majority do not know what to buy and with the gazillion different shapes, sizes and materials for brushes, the process of buying the right ones becomes pain staking.<br />
Just like your powders eye shadows and foundations, makeup brushes are very essential in every makeup kit; and guess what? With only 10 brushes you can easily achieve a flawless look. Some come with natural hair bristles while others with synthetic. Depending on their function, natural bristles are easier to work with, and help the skin readily absorb makeup.<br />
<br />
These 10 brush types are must haves!"<br />
<br />

Hi dolls!<br />
<br />
I was going through my timeline on twitter and saw a tweet from a makeup site saying they had new stuff. Of course I immediately clicked on the link to see things for myself *hehe*<br />
They have lots of goodies, from Revlon Color Stay, Ben Nye, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Utban Decay, Clinique and even Real techniques brushes! How cool are they??!<br />
<br />
Here's what I got for myself: Oh and they were kind enough to include a pink Sephora lip gloss as a birthday present (will do a separate post on it)<br />
<br />
<br />
THANK YOU My MakeUp!<br />

<br />
<br />
Hi dolls!<br />
<br />
I was recently sent a sunscreen product to try out and review. So I thought it best to do a quick write up on sunscreens and their advantages. For those of you who live in hot climates like myself, you’ll find this post very interesting. <br />
<br />
We all know what sunscreens are right? In case you’re unsure, a sunscreen is simply a product that helps protect the skin from sunrays which could lead to sunburns and even cancer.<br />
I’ve always had trouble finding the perfect sunscreen; it’s either I found them too thick that it makes me sweat ridiculously, or hard to completely blend in that it leaves like a white/pale tone to my skin, there was just always something I couldn’t stand. However, they are very essential for any beauty regime and so everyone should own one or at least use a lotion that contains SPF.<br />
<br />
<br />
How to Use a sunscreen<br />
<br />
Using a sunscreen can be really tricky. If you read the instructions on the back of most sunscreen products, you’ll see notes guiding you on how to use such a product. When using any sunscreen, it is important to follow these steps:<br />
1. Apply 20-30 minutes before going outdoors. It takes about that time for skin to actually absorb the product, thereby creating a sort of film which will help protect the skin from sun rays<br />
<br />
2. Apply liberallllllly. I cannot stress this enough. Here’s the thing, if you want your sunscreen to do its job, you need to pack it on. Using it as if you’re applying body lotion/cream won’t get the job done; this is one of the reasons why I don’t use sunscreens on my face. I just rather use my face cream which contains SPF 15.<br />
<br />
3. Most products advise you stay away from the sun especially within the hours of 2 and 4pm because of harsh sunrays (not that I’ve ever understood this, seeing as it somewhat questions the efficiency of sunscreens), but be sure to keep your sunscreen close by at all times. <br />
<br />
The name of the product is Smart Shield Serious Sun Protection SPF 30. I’ve used it a couple of times and honestly, I’m impressed so far. Although I haven’t tried using it on my face yet, I think it’s a fantastic product. <br />

-It comes in a 148 ml bottle which looks alright (very basic)<br />
-Very light and easy to apply<br />
-A little greasy but tends to dry off in a few seconds<br />
-Odour is ok. Pretty much smells like every other sunscreen<br />
-It did make me sweat a little, but nothing unbearable<br />
-Contains SPF 30 which is just ideal for the Lagos weather<br />
-The best part, it does NOT leave that funny whitish colour on your sin. It’s super easy to blend in!<br />
<br />
Here’s what it looks like<br />

Hi dolls!<br />
<br />
I know it's been agessss since I last put up a post and I'm extremely sorry; words can not explain how busy I've been. I'm back now anyway, and don't intend on disappearing again *So help me God* I do hope everyone's enjoying the new year. I'll be sharing with you all what I've been up to lately.<br />
<br />
To start with, here are some pictures from a job I did on a client 2 weeks ago. She wanted to make portraits of herself in her home and hired me to beat her face. (cuz you know, no one does it like I do *chuckles*)<br />
<br />
Started with a simple and neutral look...<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My sincere apology for the lack of posts lately, my schedule has been crazy! But I'm glad to be back.</div>
<div>
I promised to put up review posts on some new products I acquired last month. So here are two of them:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. <b><u>Revlon Total Control Face Cream</u></b></div>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This cream actually works to an extent. I haven’t used it so
many times but it does control oil as it says on the pack. However, my face tends
to be extremely oily most times; so it’s very difficult to find a product that
actually controls oil for a long period of time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would say this product is fair enough, and for the price
as well, not so bad! It kept my face matte for about 3-4 hours or there about.
That’s pretty decent considering how oily my face can be. Contains SPF 8 which is a plus, but you'll need more than SPF8 to survive in Lagos. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I currently use it for makeovers on my clients and it’s
definitely a product I will recommend for people with combination skin.<br />
<br /></div>
It cost N1,400 and can be bought <a href="http://konga.com/products/revlon-step-one-total-control-face-cream-spf8.html"> HERE </a>
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2.<u><b> Urban Decay Gravity lipstick</b></u><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
My very first Urban Decay lipstick and I’m not so
disappointed. I have a palette, and two single eye shadows from the brand which
are excellent! Although it looks half a shade lighter than I expected, the
colour in reality is still very pretty. It is not very pigmented but it has a
strong staying power, you literally don’t need touch ups.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The product is quite minty, which I don’t mind. But if you’re
one who dislikes the idea of stinging sensations, this lipstick is certainly
not for you!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>PROS</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Lasts for hourssss!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Pretty colour, best described as wine</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Love the packaging </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
As you all know, I’m forever buying makeup so I’m very excited to be doing this post. This time however, these items were sent to me by the famous Konga.com! I was over joyed when I learnt I was getting them for free! (Keep buying! You just might be lucky. lol)
Anyway, I was sent four items, 2 of which I find quite interesting and you'll know why in a bit<br />
<br />
1. <b><u>Urban Decay Lipstick in Gravity
</u></b><br />
<br />
I've never tried any lipstick from the Urban Decay range so I<br />
was glad I got this. As seen below, I have already used the product<br />
and it's been good so far, but I'll do a proper review on it and the other products in a separate post.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
2. <u><b>Revlon Total Control Face Cream</b></u><br />
<br />
I'm very particular about what I use on my face because I HATE<br />
the thought of breakouts and allergies. That's why I described this product<br />
as interesting. However, it says oil control for 24 hours! So I'll definitely try this out<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
3. <b><u>X Factor NaturalMinerals Foundation</u></b><br />
<br />
This is the second product I found interesting simply because I usually just<br />
go for liquids and cream foundations. I know for sure mineral products are usually<br />
lighter (light-medium coverage) which means they actually just enhance one's face rather<br />
than cover up or mask it.<br />

4. <b><u>Urban Decay 'Whipped' cream shadow </u></b><br />
<br />
LOVE this product even though I haven't exactly used it. I tested it on the back of my palm and it was HIGHLY pigmented so I'm pretty excited about this one<br />

<br />
Over the weekend, one of my favourite clients, Moet Abebe hired me to do her makeup for the Headies Awards. She wore a beautiful halter neck dress from TiannahStyling. tiannah Stylins is owned by Toyin Lawani and her designs are GORGEOUS! I'll try to see if I can find some of her work and put on here.<br />
Here are some before and after pictures of Moet<br />

<br />
Thanks to Jibbi, I went to Indigo's boutique sometime last month and picked up this gorgeous black peplum dress. I'm not really into peplum dresses but I do have a few peplum tops. However, this dress doesn't come in the regular pelum style that cuts round the waist, it cuts one third on each side leaving the middle one third plain. Different right?<br />
It also has a slightly-low back cut and the V-cut in front accentuates the bust area! (Perfect for those of us who aren't so blessed in that region, LOL) The material is gorgeous and scrupled, and the length makes it even perfect! Here's how I rocked it<br />

<br />
I'm so excited to be doing this post as I've wanted these brushes for a LONG time! Allow me to rant about them lool<br />
These beautiful babies you see below are called Real Techniques and they're by Samantha Chapman (popular makeup artist/youtube blogger). Most youtube bloggers I'm subscribed to are fans of the brushes, so you can imagine my excitement!<br />
Unfortunately, they cannot be purchased in Nigeria at the moment :( so I had to wire money to a friend to help me purchase them. I got the Core selection and the starter set and they each cost £22 (N5742) per set even though it says $18 on the website.<br />
<br />
P.S The captions show the names of the individual brushes and what I use them for<br />

The Real Technique brushes are made from Taklon bristles, hence they are synthetic and so, cruelty-free. Before I got them, I was using the Elf powder brush to apply foundations whether creamy or liquid and tbh, the Real Techniques buffing brush works the magic! It works the product well into my skin and dries faster than the Elf after being washed.<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
1. The brushes look pretty expensive<br />
2.They're also very convenient and comfortable<br />
3. Brush hairs DO NOT shed<br />
4. Crease brush can be used as a blending brush and even concealer brush<br />
<br />
Cons:<br />
1. Starter set doesn't have an eyelid brush<br />
<br />
More pros than cons! Definitely worth every naira spent! My favourite brushes have to be the contour and buffer brush(for liquid and creamy foundations)<br />

Hi dolls!<br />
Today I won't be doing my usual makeup or hair talk (actually, a little of hair). I'm sure a few of you have heard about Gidi Culture or seen the pilot. Not to worry if you haven't, this post gives you all the juicy details on the soon to come tv show.<br />
<br />
Synopsis:<br />
"Gidi Culture" is representative of the Nigerian Youth, and draws from many of their experiences. The show follows several young people from different walks of life as they relate to each other under various climates of prosperity and privation often associated with life in Gidi (Nigeria).
The show’s protagonist, Halima Dan-Ladi Adebayo, is a naïve upper class Nigerian frequenting graduate school abroad. When a critical accident occurs in her New York City apartment, Halima’s divorced Mother, Mariam Dan-Ladi, coerces her daughter to return to Nigeria indefinitely and attend the Lagos Business School. Life in Gidi exposes Halima to characters and practices that she once ignored and often never knew existed.
Will she ultimately succeed in this challenge of familiarizing herself with Gidi Culture and come to terms with her new reality? Or will she plummet into bad company and fall prey to the enmity amassed by some of Nigeria’s frustrated youth? Only time will tell as life unfolds in “Gidi Culture.”<br />
<br />
I particularly love the story line and can't wait for it to drop! it kinda reminds me of "The Hills" Below are some behind the scenes photos. Guess who plays Fatima?<br />
<br />
P.S Some of the female casts are rocking Dorranne weaves in the actual show! *coolface*

<br />
I mentioned I was going to attend the Lagos Makeup Fair as the guest makeup artist for the BarryM stand which I did. It was so much fun and I got to meet some of you dolls and a couple of my favourite Nigerian bloggers!; I also did a lot networking with top shots in the beauty/media industry. Unfortunately, I didn't get to take any pictures as I was really busy carving eyebrows, networking and talking makeup. However, I did buy me some makeup! So, here are pictures of all the stuff I got. There was a very good turnout and I appreciate all of you who came through!(MUAH!) <br />

<br />
I filmed a haul video last month and I honestly don't know why I waited till now to put it up *coversface* In the video, I basically just tell you guys what makeup items I copped, where you can get them and thoughts on some I had used prior to the video.<br />
Of all the stuff you'll be seeing in the video, the Elf cream eyeshadow in black licorice was my least favourite. I use it as a base because it tends to spill after a while, but it's manageable.<br />
Also, I got the Elf stipple brush with the intention of using it to apply foundations, but it's way too scanty and doesn't blend creamy formulas i.e foundations, creme to powders, etc well into the skin. The Elf powder brush however works great with creamy formulas, so I don't feel too bad about the stipple brush. I now use the stipple brush to apply blushers as seen in some of my videos.<br />
The NYX lipglosses are fantastic! I already had 2 of them and they are both really good; I knew I needed to top up my collection. My favourite NYX lipglosses at the moment are Natural (which is like a nude colour) and Capuccino (the name says it all)<br />
<br />
Let me know what you dolls think!<br />
*muah*<br />

This has to be the worst lashes ever! The weft was too thick to even glue on even after I tried trimming it a little. I Love the way it looks though but it's no use if it can't be used. This was about N1,350. I don't know if this is how all Urban Decay Lashes are, but this was more or less a waste :(</td></tr>

Love the colour but it has a bit of shimmer to it which is a bit weird. If you have very full lips, you might want to stay away from this. However, I like that it can pretty much be used with any Lipstick colour. It cost N1,000</td></tr>

In the mood of giveaways, I decided to this look which reminds me so much about fairies. It was the first thing that popped in my head when I did it. LOL and since you all are my Cinderellas, I wish to be your Fairy Godmother! haha! (I feel so cheesy typing this post)
Here's what it looks like and I hope you dolls love it the way I did. Enjoy!
P.S I can't wait to start getting feedback concerning the giveaway! Excited much!
