Its way past midnight but I can't get my eyes to close and my mind has been bugging with this blog post that I've been putting off doing--maybe because it has more than one brand listed--don't want nobody thinking I'm doing a brand comparison.

While I'm still trying to deal with my jet lag, I figured I might as well put up this post I've had in my drafts for a bit. If you follow me on instagram and snapchat; you'll know I've been out of Nigeria for a couple of days.

I promised you guys a bunch of reviews and I'm keeping my word judiciously. Here's a review of the newest brand in the market proudly owned by a Nigerian and one I'm so glad to call my friend-- Funke Tonye-Preghafi of Gifty's Daughter Makeup Boutique.

I did not realize how long I've been gone until I viewed my newly designed blog header done by yours truly. And I know you are wondering--it's the middle of January already and we 're just hearing from you!!! Well. you'll know the details of my absence in a bit....

Happy New year and welcome to 2016!!! I've been waiting all month long to say that but I've been in a programme and as a rule I'm off social media the entire 12 days; although I still took out time to work on designs and layout for the blog--but nothing major.

Ta-da!!! This is officially my first review post for 2016!!! I'm a sucker for trying out new brands especially ones that dark skinned beauty bloggers rave about and +Sonia Kashuk Beauty is definitely one of them; I sometimes stalk their website just imagining ways I could lay my hands on their products especially when +Jackie Aina raves about their eyeshadow palettes.
