Product Review: La Girl Beauty Brick Blush Palette in Spice

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

LUXEBOX UNBOXING

I first heard of Luxebox from ycfonlinedirectory.blogspot.com  and I decided to check out the website  luxebox.info.com  . I was so happy to find out that we now have our own subscription box in Nigeria. I love seeing the unboxing reviews from bloggers abroad and I used to wonder when it will come to Nigeria, so you can imagine the excitement. Immediately, I subscribed but the box wasn't available at that moment, hence I waited for the next one which was in October. I will give a brief run down of what Luxebox is. Luxebox is a beauty subscription service t hat allows beaut y lovers    the chance to try out new products every month for only #3,500 !  The service is currently available in Lagos only (for now) .   LuxeBox   contains 4-5 full sized beauty or fashion products from known brands that we love.

My Makeup Wishlist

Hello sugars, happy independence day! I know most people think we have nothing to celebrate but the fact that we are still one nation and Nigeria has not disintegrated is enough cause for celebration. So my post today will be about the products mostly new release that I'll like to add to my kit. OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS LIP TAR  The fact that this is matte is the main reason I love it. I love anything matte and this has four matte shades and two metallic shades, there is a lot of hype about this product and there are also some not so good reviews so I'll hopefully get it soon and do a review. I have not seen this at all in Nigeria but I heard its available at Giffty's Daughter (thats means it will be expensive), I will definately check it out. I JUST DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AVALIABLE ON BEAUTYKINK AND KONGA  BUY HERE ON BEAUTY KINK FOR #4800 BUY HERE ON KONGA FOR #3800  TOO FACED MELTED LIQUIFIED LONG WEAR LIPSTICKS  This got nice reviews on

PRODUCT REVIEW: SLEEK FLASH 'A' POUT LIPSTAIN IN FORBIDDEN

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.

PRODUCT REVIEW: L.A. Girl Pro Primer Eyeshadow stick

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. Girl website   Pro Primer stick is a multi-tasking primer that has a light weight, non-sticky formula that sets for long-lasting eye makeup application. The smooth texture glides over eyelids to prep your eyes for a flawless, even
