Its that time again when I share my makeup look and how to achieve it. Today's look is also a mini review of the House of Tara Margaret Ekpo palette which by the way has to be the hottest product in the HOT range for now.

FOTD: Silver and Purple Owambe Look

1:01 PM

Hola Bellas,

I know what you are gonna say!!! Before you say it; I come bearing gifts:d!!! Well, not really but I'm almost gonna be a staple in your life...pretty soon!!!

I've been having a bit of writers block and I thought I was coming down with a bit of psychological illness(gladly it isn't) turns out I had a lot on my plate and all I needed was a well deserved break to structure all I'm chewing. Hopefully, I've gotten my groove back up to 80%.

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!!!

Pibona Cosmetics Review: Swatches and Looks

7:18 PM

Hola Bellas,

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.

FOTD: Valentine 2013

6:08 PM

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing?? I'm having one of those days when my fingers and my mind are in sync--hence, I'm doing multiple posts(lol).

Hope you had a love filled Valentines day?? Mine was busy!!! I had a photoshoot, bridal makeover and a dinner for the same day--talk about booked solid!!! The photoshoot started at about 8am took longer then I anticipated, thus my plans for the day went haywire!!!

Every valentine's day my Church celebrates her anniversary with a dinner and so whether or not I have date planned with (any) boo--I always have plans for the day. This year was no different as we decked up ready to celebrate. It was particularly weird for me since I've not celebrated valentines day as a single gal in about 3 or 4 years (did I hear you say OMG!!!). For a look at Valentine 2012 look, click here.

I wore a plush purple dress and had to have amazing makeup to go with the look and of course---my new eyes!!!

Throwback FOTD: Purple and Chic

2:53 AM

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!!!

Cocktail mix..

Hey Bellas,

Hmmm...been a while since i last posted right?? There's been so much happening i don't even know where to start from.
I know i owe y'all gist from the WedExpo...i really didn't have a good time all through. The only highlights was probably when i saw a couple of my blog readers and of course i got to do what i love doing most...makeup!!!!

So i though to start off resumption by doing a brand new look(meaning i've never done it before) and get y'all talking and commenting again.
The look is a mix of pink, purple and blue, matched with nude pink gloss...only to be tried when you're ready to go out, have a good time and of course show your skillz....enough talk...let the pictures speak!!

Seriously...look for the right pose

Muchos love,

My First Ever NOTD

6:00 AM

Hey Bellas,

How was your weekend? Hope it rocked...unlike mine which was work all through...missed a party dropped by one, had a some clients and also had makeup seminars to teach...wheew!!! It was a long one...shouting out to my new brides and students and also a big hug to Hadizah Musa of Khuraira Cosmetics(she's probably home resting after the seminar we had yesterday).

Also wanna wish my friend and fellow MUA Olajide Okerayi of St.Ola Studio Effects a Happy Belated birthday (still taking your word on the Yahuza suya)...

Okay on to today's business....its my first time putting up a post on my nail of the day. I usually just have my nails done/painted at the salon but i just got a nail technician at my studio, so i'm pulling all the stops and having mine done whenever i feel the need to.

I just took of a deep purple nail polish and again opted for a pinkish/purple nail color again(i love love love purple!!!)...My nail technician (Micheal) is Togolese and is some perfectionist..it took me 30mins to get my nails cleaned and painted to his satisfaction. the nail polish is from my personal collection and i have no idea of the name/brand, but you can get a close shade when next you go shopping....

Enough talk!!
