Hola Bellas,
Its a cold Saturday morning and one of the rarest cos I'm home trying to rest and recover from the flu I've had all week. I'm pretty much a restless person, hence I decided to post up looks I did recently and haven't been able to blog about(time+internet factor).

Hola Bellas,
How are you doing?? Hope you're having a great time and not getting bored with my throwbacks?? Throwbacks are meant to make you laugh I hope I'm succeeding to also educate you also.
I did not have a name for this look but it was the first look I did right after I got my Zaron goodie bag last year. I just picked a color from the palette dressed up for school. I really love the lips and the lip color lasted all day (even with my 3 course lunch in school)!!!
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? 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.
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....
Hola Bellas,
How are you doing today? Hope you had a great weekend and hope your Monday started off to a great week ahead. My weekend was wonderful and I feel ready to take on the world :D
So I'm sure you're guessing what I've got up my sleeve with the title of today's post...not much really. I'm celebrating the return of my nerd look and also one of the eyeshadow colors I really don't like to use--Pink. Considering the fact that over 50% of ladies love pink and I also love pink--I still can't fathom why I hardly ever use it.
Today I decided to be adventurous and take a leap on the wild side. I love the total look and can't wait to try it on someone at a shoot or a wedding.
Enjoy the pictures...and find below the list of products I used to get the look.
Hey Bellas,
As follow up to my NOTW-Teal me Pink I had this look on for the Runway Show recently. Though I was backstage, I had every right to look as gorgeous as I looked. I was aiming for a look with red lips(ruby woo style), but I got carried away by my nail polish, hence I couldn't wear my earrings.
Do notice that most of these pictures were taken in a car en route the venue of the show--but I do take good pictures hence no blurry ones!!!
I had this look together in 10mins....if I can do that, anyone can. Enough talk, enjoy the look and find below list of the products I used...

How are you doing?? And how’s your week going?? Mine has been awesome and I’m still reeling from the excitement of the Lagos Makeup Fair.
So a few months back we had the maiden edition of the Abuja Makeup Fair (AMUF) organized by Pops Concepts, and fast forward a few months later we had the Lagos Makeup Fair (LMUF). If you missed my post on AMUF please click here to view.
The fair was an avenue for makeup and beauty brands, retailers, artists, enthusiasts and lovers to mingle, discuss and purchase all things beauty and makeup. LMUF took place at the spacious Grand Marquee of Our Place in the heart of Ikeja and the attendance was amazing. Trust Lagosians to show up in droves.
I was at the fair representing Arike Cosmetics and though I was helluva busy I had an opportunity to meet with my friends and colleagues that I’ve known since forever on Facebook and BBM. Although this time I didn’t win any goody bag (Omolola Faleye owes me!!!) I purchased quite a number of things and will be doing a post of my haul in a bit.
Here are few of the exhibitors: House of Tara, Arike Cosmetics, Sleek Makeup and Skincare, Taries World, Gifty’s Daughter, Sacred Beauty, Calicolors Cosmetics, Dazzle Makeovers, Divaz Hair and Beauty, Oma Makeovers, Venus, Jaga Beauty, Hegai and Esther, Sacha Cosmetics, AIT, City People Magazine, Beauty Overdose Magazine, Standup to Cancer Naija, Black Secret's Makeup and much more!!!
So enough talk…let the pictures speak!!!

Hey Bellas,
How are you doing?? How was your weekend?? Hope you had fun?..feel like I'm playing 21 questions...*winks*. Mine was a haze...all i remember is my body ached all Saturday a bit on Sunday...oh! the wonderful life of a makeup artist.
It a new week and for me its a school week; my final week in business school and I'm in the cloud, cos I'm so excited!!! I'm really not that lazy, its just that I've put aside so much to be in school for the past 6 months and can't wait to get things back in order. My graduation ceremony is on the 21st July and I'm looking forward to it.
So this week, I'm starting off with a light look and i promise to try to post some easy looks this week.
Hey Bellas,
This week's FOTD is a very colorful look that was inspired by a friend.
Products Used:
Eyes
- Sleek Circus Palette: Lemon green and Dark Blue
- Orekelewa eye shadow primer
- Khuraira Eyeshadow in Blue Lagoon and Sunflower
- Tara Orekelewa Eyshadow Trio--Osenken
- Sleek Dip-it eyeliner
- Jordana easy liner in Sea green and Black
- Davis No. 18 Pencil
Face
- Mary Kay Medium Coverage Foundation 600
- Khuraira Finishing Powder in Hazelnut
- Khuraira Age control concealer (Dark)
This is the very first time I’m using lashes for a FOTD on my blog...yay!!!
I started by using a tape from the end of brows to the outer corners of my eyes; to create the clean angle. Started by applying Orekelewa primer on my eyelid and then sleek shadow in lemon green from the inner corner of my eye to the middle of my eyelid. Then used the blue lagoon from the sleek palette followed by the Khuraira blue lagoon from the outer corner of the eye and blended into the crease. Lightly used the electric blue from the Osenken trio in the same manner.
I used Sleek Dip-it liner to liner my upper lid and rimmed with Jordana easy liner in black. Then used the Jordana Sea green pencil on my lower lash line.
Brows were filled with Davis pencil and highlighted using Khuraira Concealer(Dark) and Khuraira Sunflower eyeshadow.
