I've been thinking of how to write a long love letter to apologize for being absent these past few weeks, but words fail me. I've been poking my fingers in a few upcoming projects I can't wait to share it all with you guys in due time. Meanwhile, I'm going to share pictures and videos of my last vacation with you soon--- I pledged I was going to do that since that's one of the reasons I've been away.

Hola Bellas,

Remember when I told you I was having a little bout of writers block?? I kinda found a cure!!! While I was researching and trying to figure out how to get over my current situation, I found a list of over 100 things to write about...trust me to get started right away!!!

Hope you've been having a fantastic February? Personally I'm counting down till March, I think awesome things happen in March and I can't wait for the elections to be over already. I got a couple of mails regarding my last Valentine's day inspired looks and a few requests to do something more natural toned for an evening out..hence this follow up post.

I got these babies a while ago from Too Faced cosmetics, it was sent to me to review and somehow I ended up receiving to sets of the same products; which I gave out in a mini giveaway on instagram; BTW if you aren't following me on insatgram, well you are missing out on some pretty exciting giveaways coming really soon, so follow me on @bellezzafaces.

I promised to post details of this look, a while back and I know its taken a while but its better late than never. It was afun creating this look, as I had to choose what colors to play with and also made the bold step to make my brows thinner than I normally trim them, I must say I was really scared as I haven't had thin brows in a long time ( even then it wasn't on purpose), I love how it came out though.

The weekend is finally here!!! Hope you had an amazing week? I'm so glad its over. Can't wait to unwind this weekend (if I get a chance to) What are you looking forward to this weekend??

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!!!

How have you been? How was your weekend and hope you had a great one? Mine was fun, busy and exciting all in one. I had an impromtu getaway with some of my colleagues and friends....xoxo #funtimes.

How have you been?? Hope you've been amazing? I promise this is gonna be the last time I'll be apologizing for not posting up on here, if anything happens otherwise, we can blame it on bad internet....but I'm back!!!! Thanks to one very special person, I got another laptop and my fingers are performing magic on this keyboard right now...yeah right now!!!

Hope you've been awesome??!! I've decided to post pictures of random makeovers with details of products used to achieve them.

Hola Bellas,

So it’s no news that of all makeup products my favorite is definitely lipsticks. I’m a sucker (always have and always will be) for lip colors; nude, pretty, dark, weird—any lip color has a chance with me. I can’t walk in to a beauty store without buying at least a gloss or lipstick—well, that’s my cross.

How are you doing and how has your week been? I honestly cannot remember details of my weekend, all I remember is the pain in my back and legs--I loved every moment of it though!!!

So last weekend, I got sample products of Pibona cosmetics which I hear has been making waves in Lagos and I must say I'm impressed.

Holla Bellas, 

How are you doing? Hope you are having an amazing week?

I'm back with another store review, this time of a store I newly discovered. Please note that I'm not paid to publish these reviews; I post them simply to share where I shop especially if the stores have content worth buying (price and quality). 

Kamari Beauty Gallery is a total beauty and gift store. I walked into the store just to window shop and I walked out with items I've been searching for. When I asked the owner of the store what Kamari meant, she says its a fusion of her children's names Kam(si) and Ari(nze).

The store retails majorly perfumes and gift items but also have beauty products such as makeup, hair care, skin care and even lingerie.

Enough talk...

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing?? Hope you're having a great week!!!! Mine has been awesome!!! Almost forgot that's its valentines week, been so caught up with work...I'm looking forward to doing my first 2013 FOTD on the 14th--I hope that I don't get swamped!!!

So its no longer news that makeup giant MAC cosmetics has finally opened in our own Lagos, Nigeria. Personally, I'm excited cos it will put an end to "I bought it from MAC shop UK/US/Dubai/Slovenia" I ever so often hear from some ladies---now you can just say "I bought in Ikeja"!!!

Hola Bellas,

Hope your day is going great??!!! Told y'all I've been busy. I had a couple of ideas for 2013, one of those ideas is to have a photoshoot every quarter with different amazing photographers I can lay my hands (and pockets on.

My first photoshoot for 2013 was photographed by Rain Vedutti. I've worked with Rain once and he has a very infectious sense of humor. There I was trying to be all professional and serious and he comes in (all 6ft ++), smiles and I'm hooked!!! The theme for this shoot had a bride getting ready for a her traditional wedding. for this chapter I did the Yoruba traditional outfit and it was magical....

Let the pictures speak....
