I know its been a minute and I really have no excuse save for the fact that I've just been having a small phase of writers' block which thankfully is over. With the postponement of elections and that putting a clog in some of my plans for a few weeks...it really had me aiming for someone's jugular....like I said I'm fine now.

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.

I did promise I'll be more frequent with post--blame it on the amazing internet!!! I know its really not an excuse, but fast internet just makes me wanna sleep at my desk. I've had an amazing week so far and thank you for all the comments, I do love to hear from you guys...always brightens my day and makes me think that I'm doing something relevant in the society ( I just heard my sister snicker, wherever she is).

There's a lot going on the beauty industry and as beauty lover, I have taken it upon myself to always keep you posted on relevant things in the industry. Today's post features and event I was privileged to know about a couple of months back by my mentor Mrs Khuraira Musa. Its the Beauty Africa Exhibition organized by Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions. Informa has already hosted successful events in the Beauty Industry with recognized shows such as Beyond Beauty, The Bride Show, and China Beauty; and they are finally bringing and event to Nigeria.

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!!!

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.

Its been a couple of days since the 1st Makeup In Makeup in Nigeria Conference; and we still can't keep quiet about it!!! I've had people all over call me asking for their pictures and wanting to know how they can get what....in one word; it was a marvelous experience. I freaked out on the day of, cos I realized that my memory card was not it its slot on my camera (amateurish photographer)...thank to Khuraira who saved my blogging career(wide grin).
