Hola Bellas,
Hope you've been having a splendid week so far?? Mine has been a piece of red velvet cake---trying to ease back into writing and sorting out the hundreds of pictures to go along with my reviews coming up soon. Thanks for being patient, posts coming up shortly!!!
Hola Bellas,
How's your day going?? Mine is pretty exciting!!! I also have exciting news for you!!! One of my favorite makeup stores has finally opened in Abuja, yeah!!! No more thinking of the Lagos-Abuja haulage!!!
Hola Bellas,
The weekend is finally here and
its time to let down your hair and hang out with friends and let the stress of
the past week find its way to the archives of the past 9honestly, I don’t know
where that came from). In my last post I mentioned that I had a special collab
with Omosalewa that is just the right amount of perfection for this weekend.
Hola Bellas,
Hope you’re having a blissful
stress-free week?? For some unknown reason I’ve been really excited this week,
I feel like something is brewing and I don’t even know what is about to
happen—it better happen really soon!!!
Hola Bellas,
Hola Bellas,
Hope you are having and amazing week so far, the weekend is almost here so hang in there for a couple more hours!!!
A couple of posts back, when I got the Fashion Fair capsule, I promised to replicate the look on the cover using the items in the pack. If you missed the post, click here. I finally got around to doing the look as promised and I also added my own twist.
Hola Bellas,
Hope you are having an amazing week? Mine has been pretty awesome. Catching up a lot of work and of course blogging!!! I promised to fill you in on what I was up to while I was away.
Rewind back a couple of months, I entered for the Gifty's Daughter Fashion Fair giveaway where we had to chose and describe a particular time period we like in the Fashion Fair Time Capsule. The period series was to celebrate Fashion Fair at 40 include Fresh, Divine, Sensuous and Foxy

Hola Bellas,
Its a cold Saturday morning and one of the rarest cos I'm home trying to rest and recover from the flu I've had all week. I'm pretty much a restless person, hence I decided to post up looks I did recently and haven't been able to blog about(time+internet factor).

I'm back with another store review, this time with a store that is relatively new in the city of Lagos, although a prior branch exists in Port Harcourt--I introduce to you Gifty's Daughter Beauty Store (GDBs).
Hola Bellas,
Often time, in this part of the world, we forget to celebrate hardworking innovators--which really is sad, however I believe that things are changing.
That being said (I sounded so serious), The Makeup Fair--organized by Pops Concepts--visited the beautiful city of Owerri for the first time ever. The event took place at The Kel-Vic Suites, Owerri. Personally, I couldn't make it for the fair but the pictures speak---

Hola Bellas,
How are you doing? Hope you've been having a wonderful week? Mine pretty much just started as I just got back to Abuja from the bustling city of Lagos. It was a wonderful trip many thanks and shout outs to the wonderful people I met while in Lagos.
While planning my trip to Lagos I penciled my itinerary carefully and one of the stores I just had to visit was Gifty's Daughter Beauty (GDB) store located on Toyin street Ikeja. If you haven't heard of the store don't fret!!! Its owned by amiable Mrs Funke Preghafi who's been running the flagship store in Port-Harcourt.
Well, I visited the store and it was pure unadulterated makeup haven (thank God I ditched my ATM card). GDB store retails amazing makeup brands such as NYX, MakeUp ForEver(MUFE), Wet 'n' Wild, Nars, Urban Decay and also an array makeup accessories (boxes, brushes, cleaners) from Zuca and much more!!!
I got a couple of items I've been 'living' to get they are;
