I didn't just disappear for no reason, I've  been up to by neck with training classes and makeup appointments and my internet subscription has just been wasting...#smh at myself. I'm trying to free up my schedule for the upcoming Beauty Africa exhibition coming up next month and I'm terribly excited about it. If you haven't registered or want to know more about this event, click here.

Hope you had an amazing week? Mine was really tiring. I hit the gym twice this week and for that reason (and that alone) I didn't sleep good for a few nights!!! To all my gym addicts and weight watchers out there...the Lord is your muscle...and fiber!!!

I'm doing a combo post today, so make sure you read till the very very very end!!!!

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.

I'm so excited about today's post. I almost didn't put this look together because my schedule got so hectic; but an hour before closing time, I decided to stick to what I had planned to do at the beginning of the day--determination, I guess.

Hola Bellas,

I've been gone for so long that some readers didn't even email me!!! They figured getting posts required phone calls. I'm so sorry for getting missing these past few days, with training classes, bridal bookings, and naughty matters I got swamped!!!

I've got great news for you so stay tuned till the end of this very long long post.

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!!!

Hope you're having a fun, stress-free week? My workful weekend starts today as I have an event up North in Gusau, Zamfara state (I covet you prayers). I'm looking forward to making my bride look flawless for her multiple events. I love Hausa weddings!!!

I just though to drop this post as I've been getting a lot of requests to do detailed posts on clients looks. So I decided to run through Mrs Ajaiya's birthday makeover. I already posted this look on instagram.

Mrs is Ajaiya's is my very own personal, stolen and adopted Aunt. She's a relative to one of my brides and she came over to the studio to get trained to do her makeup and we instantly clicked!!! She's indeed lovable and very amiable...I just love her!!!

How are you doing?? Hope you had a great weekend? Mine was one of those ones you can't wait to get over with and start a beautiful week!!! Monday is usually my favorite day of the week (for some weird reason I know not of), I usually look forward to it with so much anticipation!!!

I'm trying to shy away from the subject of my recent absence; blame it on the internet service providers in Nigeria. I'm trying to chance my service provider but I went ahead with the old one I use hopefully I'll get the new one sorted pretty soon.
