So I've been excited about this product since I first watched the review by Kandee Johnson. I immediately set up my calendar and reminder for the release date, March 18th.
Hola Bellas,
How was your weekend?? Hope you had an awesome valentines's day? And I'm hoping the weekend afterwards was love-struck!!!
I had a splendid Valentine's day; had a dinner organized for workers in my church and it was amazing!!! It was the 15th anniversary of my church; and a very delightful event. Look out for pictures and also for the makeup I had on for dinner.

Hola Bellas,
A few posts back, I excitedly
recapped how I got my package from Motives Cosmetics by Loren Ridinger. Having swatched and tried
some of the products, I thought to let you know my thoughts on the products,
packaging and if I think it’s an investment.

Hola Bellas,
Happy New Month!!! The month of
September, couldn’t be starting on a better not for me!!! I arrived at the
office this morning with a package waiting for me. I was so excited (I’ve been
waiting for my handbags from Asos). Looking at the cardboard box, I couldn’t
imagine what it could be.
Hola Bellas,
Its been a busy couple of days for me and I've been hanging on here brewing with a lot of posts and good news to share with you.
First, the Makeup and Beauty Connect Series hosted by Pops Concepts (organizers of The Makeup Fair series) brings the Connect Series to Lagos!!! The first connect series held in Abuja and we had an awesome time. If you missed my post on the Abuja connect, click here.
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,
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

Hey Bellas,
Sorry I dropped off earth for a bit. Had to regroup the tiny tweezers in my brain. OMG..been getting 'demands' to complete my last post.
So y'all know all the things I used(products) and what I didn't use(makeup). After my stint using SebaMed (which didn't work).
Some dude walked into my studio selling Tianshi products(I know y'all know them!!) And I bluffed him cos I wasn't interested. He kept trying to market me some heart drugs and stuff(like seriously). Then he brought out this soap 'Tiens Honey and Lemon Soap"--smells nothing honey-ist or lemon-ish instead smells soda-ish.
Neways after staring at the soap in my studio for about a week, I decided to take the bold step and try it!!(after all,I've tried every other thing). And voila!!!...all breakouts disappeared! I can't remember the last time my face was totally breakout free(yeah! I can't).
Basically, I use it for just my face and use another soap as my all-over body soap. Only things I don't like is the smell(getting used to it though) and it leaves my skin sorta dry(nothing that moisturiser cannot solve).
Been looking for a picture of the soap(..and also the guy that sold it to me). As soon as I get it, I'll update this post with pictures!!!
Muchos love!!
How have y'all been??

Hello people,
In my last post I did a brief gist-up about the Khuraira review seminar that held here in Abuja.
So I thought to let you know more about the makeup brand and the brain behind it.
Khuraira Musa (founder of Khuraira Cosmetics) has been a celebrity makeup artist for over twenty years. She grew up as an orphan in Jos Nigeria and was later adopted by an aunt who struggled to provide for her. She was later able to leave Nigeria in search for greener pastures where she honed her skills and passion for makeup artistry working alongside the best in field such as Laura Mercier and Trish McEvoy.
Having travelled nationally and internationally teaching women the hottest makeup trends and helping them create their individual makeup styles developing her own makeup brand wasn’t farfetched.
Her years of research and meeting women with makeup need helped her create a makeup line that simplifies beauty.
Khuraira Cosmetics is a line of makeup products infused with skincare adavantages. The lin also includes age control line of products which include a face primer, foundation, concealer and dark circle primer. All the products are infused with anti-oxidants and peptides (amino-acid) which help to firm the skin.
The powder, cream foundation and stick foundation are soft and silky smooth, does not cake on the face and believe me when I say they are extremely suitable for the woman of color and our temperate Nigeria. The eyeshadows come in a confusing array of colors and are mineralized for a longer lasting application. The mascara (volumizing and lengthening) are to die for, say au revoir to false lashes and lash curlers, because Khuraira mascaras are in town!!!
And the lipsticks!!!Infused with moisturizers and vitamin E comes in an array of vibrant colors and is guaranteed to stay on your lips for hours. The lip glosses are luscious and delicious. Whether you’re wearing it alone or with your lipstick you can be assured to look like a diva.
The invisible powder has generated amazing reviews from individuals and TV shows, the powder appears chalk white but when applied it keeps your makeup looking true to its color. The invisible powder has been recommended for use on TV shows and has been the all time number one choice for news broadcasts, Oprah, Dancing with the stars and so much more.
As Bellezza Faces partners with Khuraira Cosmetics in Nigeria, we will be giving out makeup products from the prestigious makeup line. So keep following us and watch this space for our very first giveaway.
