I almost missed doing this post, because I thought I was gonna do a collaboration with another beauty blogger for this look; its still a few days to the end of the month, so we can still work on one.

As you know October is marked as Breast Cancer awareness month and is symbolized by the color pink! Which is obviously why today's look is a pink themed look. By now I'm guessing you know that my favorite lip color to wear is pink but for today's look, I added a bit of twist and tried something I only imagined a few days ago. I also used a new eyeshadow palette which I've seen everywhere on social media; its Morphe Brushes palette in 35B

So I was sent this goody bag a couple of weeks ago; right after the New York Fashion Week, but I only got it a few days ago. Thanks to my sister who received the bag on my behalf and had to haul it halfway around Nigeria before it got to me. It was essentially a Thank you gift from Maybelline New York Nigeria, since I partnered in the social media buzz of the NYFW that featured Bimpe Onakoya backstage as one of the artists for Maybelline.

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!!!
