I did promise I'll be more frequent with post--blame it on the amazing internet!!! I know its really not an excuse, but fast internet just makes me wanna sleep at my desk. I've had an amazing week so far and thank you for all the comments, I do love to hear from you guys...always brightens my day and makes me think that I'm doing something relevant in the society ( I just heard my sister snicker, wherever she is).

There's a lot going on the beauty industry and as beauty lover, I have taken it upon myself to always keep you posted on relevant things in the industry. Today's post features and event I was privileged to know about a couple of months back by my mentor Mrs Khuraira Musa. Its the Beauty Africa Exhibition organized by Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions. Informa has already hosted successful events in the Beauty Industry with recognized shows such as Beyond Beauty, The Bride Show, and China Beauty; and they are finally bringing and event to Nigeria.

Hope you're having a fun, stress-free week? My workful weekend starts today as I have an event up North in Gusau, Zamfara state (I covet you prayers). I'm looking forward to making my bride look flawless for her multiple events. I love Hausa weddings!!!

Its been a couple of days since the 1st Makeup In Makeup in Nigeria Conference; and we still can't keep quiet about it!!! I've had people all over call me asking for their pictures and wanting to know how they can get what....in one word; it was a marvelous experience. I freaked out on the day of, cos I realized that my memory card was not it its slot on my camera (amateurish photographer)...thank to Khuraira who saved my blogging career(wide grin).

The event which featured veterans in the makeup/beauty industry with over 250 years experience both within and outside Nigeria. It also featured masterclasses, motivational speeches and award presentations. Some of the speakers were Tara Fela-Durotoye (House of Tara), Mrs Opral Benson, Buntricia Bastian, Mr Bayo Haastrup (Ijade Egbin), Khuraira Musa (Khuraira Cosmetics), Lola Maja (Sacred Beauty), Bimpe Onakoya (Maybelline Nigeria), Eni Balogun (Lise Beauty), Joy Adenuga, Bolanle Feyita-Okusanya (MakeupPro), Funmilayo Irantiola (Abeke Makeovers) and many more!!!

Its here finally!!! Its Valentine's day--the day of love!!! I think February 14th is definitely a day most people look forward to asides their birthdays, Christmas and a few other celebrations. To all the lovers out there, here's a beautiful shout out to y'all and to my darling reader...I love you loads!!!

I got so many requests for a look for valentine day, so I decided to create a look that would be wearable not withstanding the outfit, I had so much fun creating this look; I didn't realize until I saw the pictures and I can't wait to see pictures of yours!!!

I should start by saying Happy New Month!!! Its the middle of the year already---time indeed flies when you're having fun!!!

I've been here and there and up to my elbows in makeup been having fun also. Today's look is inspired by sudden new love for the color blue and I can blame this on my Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Blue Had Me At Hello. I've been having so much fun working it on my face and clients also. Its a simple look and I paired it with a nude lip and also orange also.

Hola Bellas,

Hope you're having a great time this beautiful morning. I'm having one of the best Saturdays I've had in a while.

Purple is one of my favorite colors, I have every item of clothing (from shoes to earrings) in at least one shade of purple. Wearing purple eyeshadow will probably be the laziest makeup I wear, cos its almost second skin to me. I got this makeup done in the car on my way to school and I'm might proud of my steady hands!!!

I have just a few beautiful pictures with this look...be sure enough to try it!!!

Hola Bellas,

Hope you're having a great day?? Its a wonderful day to be alive and for that I'm most grateful.

Sometime last year--July to be precise, I went through a major change and it was really hard I couldn't do my makeup for more than 2 weeks (I was indoors all through!!). After I got myself together, I finally went to my studio and to celebrate my "coming out", I put on makeup (albeit light). It was a really good feeling almost wrote a book titled "How Dolapo got her Groove Back"!!!.

Hope you enjoy creating this look as much as I did. Enjoy the pictures...

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing?? I'm just gonna keep the throwback series coming. I'm on a roller-coaster and I'm having a great time going through the pictures and so loving the looks.

This look dates before business school and I was on a roll with my phone. It was a very simple look, back when I was just experimenting with red lippie.

Enjoy the pictures...

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing?? So  I have a couple of pending posts and I'm doing my best to keep them coming.

Towards the end of 2012 I had a photoshoot with talented and amiable photographer Mofe Bamuyiwa of BMB Hive. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the Ali's were ready to go. I've never met sisters and brothers that are more in sync than the Ali's. They were full of fun and energy, I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful bunch!!!

Enough talk...let the pictures speak!!!
