I'm terribly loving my new swatch techniques so much so that I 're-did' the swatches from Kayge Lipsticks which has been in my drafts for a while. I figure doing these swatches will require dedicating some time as I have to work a full face makeup to rock them.

Happy New Month and welcome to August!!! I just know it's going to be an amazing month; can you feel the year slowly winding up---I'm so excited!!! This collab post has been a long time coming; let's just say months and months of trying to decide on a look with Doyin of Chloe's Makeover and we finally nailed it!!!

Hope you had amazing Easter?? I missed my special Easter lunch that we had been calculating all through March simply because we didn't stock up on the major things we needed for the meal which resulted in having Maxims Chinese and Chicken wings as our special Easter meal, not complaining though I enjoyed every single prawn in my meal.

So my birthday was a few days ago and even though I knew I was going to be out of town on a work trip, I still decided to have my birthday shoot, you know as a reminder of I don't know, something. I got my friend and ace photographer Lemmy of Lemmy Vedutti Studios to help with professional pictures, but I got pictures first before the shoot. Check out pictures from the shoot here.

I also decided to review the Too Faced Cat Eyes palette on myself (I've used it on clients). I was going for a pinup inspired look; without the red lip and a little darker with the eyes. I'm totally in love the palette, check out my review here.

Hope you had a fulfilling week? I'm finally back home after the northern wedding I told you about last week. It was an amazing success and I just glad to be back in my familiar surroundings...home sweet home.

I created this look a couple of days back and I don't know what inspired the name, but it just popped when I was writing this post.I love smokey eyes!!! It's never wrong!!! unless of course you're only of those chics that just take a blob of eyeshadow smear it on your upper and lower lids and then apply some maroon lipstick...well, apologies---that's just wrong. If done right, smokey eyes could make you absolutely stunning!!!

How you doing?? Hope you had the most productive week ever?? Mine was super splendid! (so glad its over now). I finally received a package of makeup 'we' had been expecting and boy am I glad!!!

How are you doing?? Hope you had an amazing weekend and hope you week is looking good??? Mine is definitely better than last week because my health is definitely better!!! Praise God!!!!

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.

So in my last haul from AMUF 3, I got this StudioMakeup Nudes palette with comes with its own lip and eye primer. I've been very partial with this palette since I got it because I'm totally loving nudes at the moment.

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.

In my last post on my May Haul, I mentioned I got some items to review courtesy makeup artist Tara Adesemowo of Taries World who is the official franchise owner of StudioMakeup and Prestige Cosmetics in Nigeria. If you missed the post on my may haul, click here.

Both brands are owned by the same parent company, whose relationship is similar to that of Jordana and Milani Cosmetics. StudioMakeup is a higher end product than Prestige Cosmetics, please don't get confused by my words, the products are not duplicates, they are totally different!!! They also consist of full range makeup products--Foundations, Powders, Eyeshadows, Primers, Lipsticks, Lipglosses e.t.c

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing? How did your week go?? Mine was awesome and its looking to be a wonderful weekend ahead.

While rushing off to a bride this morning, I was in the middle of deleting some old pictures on my phone when I realized I had a bunch of pictures from when I was in business school. I know that next to doing makeup, my next hobby is taking pictures, hence I had a bunch enough to present as FOTD (considering I didn't have time then).

My next couple of posts will feature looks I did back in then. I hope you enjoy the looks and try to recreate them.

Bellas,

How are you doing this wonderful day?? I do hope despite the weather you're still looking gorge!!!

Sometime last year i did a post on my everyday look, which consisted of using simply liner and lipgloss....you can view that post here. Well, this year i upgraded the look to be more in sync with the new colored liner trend.

Colored liner is the new look everywhere, you have looks withe purple, green, blue, copper and of course black. The colored liner adds more color and spark to your look and even with no eyeshadow you'll look glam.

The look is very simple and the high point is lining the eyes. You can do this look even in a car(please do be careful).
