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!!!

FOTD: Smokey Sunshine

4:43 PM

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing? Hope you had an awesome day?? Mine was wonderful, had a great time with February students at the studio---those peeps are hilarious---love 'em that-away!!!!

Erm---this is my first official FOTD for 2013(my bad!!!). I guess there was never the perfect time considering that I love my camera during my last trip to Lagos and still tryna make up my mind on the brand and type to get. I took these pictures using a friend's camera--special thanks my sweetheart Joyce--thanks for "borrowing" me your camera.

Today's look was inspired the colors in my sleek sunset palette the sunshine yellow and orange color I hardly ever use. Oh!!! I also gave up my geeky framed for hazel colored contact lenses(got tired of people asking me to give them the frames **tiring**). So, decided to create a smokey look to pop my eyes.

I love the total look and I hope y'all get to try it out--enjoy the pictures!!!

First MAC Masterclass in Nigeria

10:26 AM

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing?? Hope you're having a great week!!!! Mine has been awesome!!! Almost forgot that's its valentines week, been so caught up with work...I'm looking forward to doing my first 2013 FOTD on the 14th--I hope that I don't get swamped!!!

So its no longer news that makeup giant MAC cosmetics has finally opened in our own Lagos, Nigeria. Personally, I'm excited cos it will put an end to "I bought it from MAC shop UK/US/Dubai/Slovenia" I ever so often hear from some ladies---now you can just say "I bought in Ikeja"!!!

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing?? Its almost customary for me to have a couple of posts every time I emerge from my sudden hiatus. I think it just goes on to prove that though I might be absent in words, I am present in thoughts!!!

Last month, I was invited to a bloggers event--actually the first edition and also the first time I'll attend a bloggers get. The event was hosted by Omonaikee Media Company and held at The Juice Place 2 in Wuse 2.

Store Review: Poise

3:26 PM

Hola Bellas,

How are you doing?? Hope y'all have been awesome!!! And hope you also had a great weekend, mine was a blur...passed by before I could even catch my breath!!!

I've been helluva busy for the past couple of weeks. I was in Lagos for a couple of days and I have so much share with you, but first today's post.

I'm a sucker for all things beauty, I shop at every whim and never seem to get enough beauty products. During my last trip to Lagos I exchanged my ATM card for my camera and decided to do a review of some stores where I seem to find most beauty products I "want". Hence, its with great pleasure that I present my very first store review!!!!

Poise is located in the heart of Ikeja City Mall. Poise retails makeup products, skin care products, hair products, perfumes and body mists.

Enjoy the pictures....

Throwback FOTD: Nude with Zaron

3:24 AM

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)!!!

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!!!

Throwback FOTD: Nude Fatale

2:23 AM

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...

Throwback FOTD: Rimmed and Red

2:00 AM

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...
