Glimmer N Gloss

Hey guys, It's important to looks great at all times be it summer, winter , harmattan, party, school or cookouts and there's no room for mishaps but then mishaps still also happen. I remember a while back in secondary school, the school was repainting the building and I, in my usual playful self brushed the wall and got paint on what I was wearing and this was a period school just resumed so everyone is looking peng  you just can't afford to look scruffy and not on point and this was first week of school everyone was wearing their best and this made me feel a little sad because I couldn't figure out how to get the stain off  so when I saw that bloggers were sharing Betabrand's style hacks graphic, I remembered my paint mishap   and how I couldn't figure out a way to get rid of it until much later, I was more than happy to write about style hacks. Betabrand is an amazing online store based in San Francisco, they let the fans co-design and crowdfund and they

Happy New Year Guys, this post was supposed to be posted a long time ago but my laptop gave up in me so I'm really sorry about my inconsistency. The la girl brand is a brand we have all come to love because they are of good quality and very affordable. I was just browsing through the beautyrev website sometime last year and I came across these palettes and I knew I had to try it out. This comes in four different shades: Glow, Pinky, Spice and Glam I felt Spice was the darkest shade so I picked Spice but realised later that Glam is actually the darkest shade, Spice still worked for me though.    According to LA Girl website : " F our gorgeous blush palettes - each collection pairs two blush shades with a coordinated bronzer and highlighter. Instantly contour with complimentary shades and blendable colour in both matte and shimmery finishes for multidimensional colour. Each luxurious, glossy book includes a mirror inside" This comes in a lightweight cardboard p

After a very tiring day in makeup school I was getting ready to go home and I heard one of my friends ask one of the sales rep that come to advertise their different makeup brands  for lipstick and the sales rep said she had sleek and  I was like sleek, REALLY!!! (didn’t expect it to be good) and she then added that it’s matte and it’s very good and then my instructor whose judgement I trust consigned and said they have re-branded. Then I said bring OK lets see and as luck would have it she brought this bad boy  I mean that was the first shade she brought out was forbidden which is a dark red the shade after my own heart at that stage I knew I was going to get it even without trying it. I opened it and saw how thick it was so because I had not paid for it yet I applied to the hand of my hand( we makeup artist are kind of used to that) and applied it to my lips with a lip brush a little of this goes a long way and it dried even before I finished applying it, it’s so matte it had th

I'm currently attending the House of Tara makeup school ( that's why I have not had time to post), when we were given our starter kit the eye shadow primer was sold out then  and I needed one so I went in search of one that was affordable, I went to Ikeja City Mall to see which one I can get and I saw this beauty I had not seen any previous reviews on this product so I didn't even know what it could do, I bought it because of the packaging. This primer comes in three shades; white, nude and black. I picked the white at first then I saw the nude and decided to go with the nude, this primer is easy to handle when applying it unto your lid, it glides on smoothly so you and blend into the skin with your finger  According to the L.A.

Hello sugars, if you have constant a build up of dead flaky skin around your nose and chin and clogged pores no matter what you use den I can certainly relate, I have used different types of exfoliators but it always comes back within a very short period until i discovered microdermabrasion. It's been around for a while but i never really paid attention to it  Microdermabrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. it is more or less like an effective alternative to costly procedures like plastic surgery, chemical peels and botox injections. This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discolouration, sun damage, and stretch marks( yes u read right). It helps to make the collagen( collagen is protein in the skin whose main function is to sustain tendons, skin and cartilage. It provides integrity, firmness and elasticity to their structures.) thicker which results in younger loo
