LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR DUO[+] AND A.I!!!!

THE PRODUCTS THAT SAVED MY SKIN!!!!

I cant say enough good things about the La roche posay effaclar line! So when i got pregnant for my second son i broke out really bad, i really didn't know how to handle it because i havent ever really suffered from spots before, i'd get the random spot here and there like once a month, imagine how i felt when all of a sudden i had spots like every other day and they would leave scars on my face, i tried everything, all the things i was using for spots before didn't work, sometimes it would seem like its going away then it would come back. I'll tell you guys about all the different things i did to eventually stop my acne because i feel like its a few things that helped, but these two products where truly the breaking point! They just work wonders on spots, i rub the effacer a.i on the areas on my face that i tend to get spots always, which is around my lower cheeks (more on one side) and around my forhead, it really does keep my spots away, it can also be used as a spot treatment, so if you get a spot just apply a small amount on the spot and trust me it makes the spot disappear, i love this stuff! After i apply the effacer a.i i apply my serum and then i apply the effaclar duo all over my face, its moisturizes, protects from acne and smooths out my skin, it has a serum like texture. This stuff works! (well it worked for me and even my friend that i made try it so i'm hoping it will work for others too). I use a whole bunch of things from their line now, i'll be doing reviews on the different things i use soon so look out for it.... I hope this post is helpful to someone because truly this product helped me a lot!!!

L.A. GIRL BEAUTY BRICK EYE SHADOW COLLECTION!!!

Hi guys,

Here's my review for the l.a. girl beauty brick eye shadow palettes. There are 4 different palettes available- nudes, ultra, smokey and neon, and i have 2 out of the 4, i have nude and ultra. The shadows are really good i mean for the price u can't go wrong, they are really affordable, only thing is when applying i get fall outs and that can be quite annoying, but if i use an eye primer it helps and it really just makes the shadows pop! love love love the colours too!!! Here are swatches of the 2 palettes i have (the swatches are without primer, so just imagine how much more it pops with a primer).....

 L.A. GIRL BEAUTY BRICK EYE SHADOW COLLECTION- NUDE

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS HAUL!!!

Hiya,

I ordered some anastasia beverly hills products online a couple of months ago (not in nigeria i ordered it when i was in the uk), thought i'd do a mini review on the products i got.....

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONCEALER- 3.5

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS BROW WIZ- EBONY

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS DUO BRUSH- #7

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS TINTED BROW GEL- ESPRESSO 

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONCEALER- $20

DESCRIPTION- This full-coverage concealer instantly camouflages dark under-eye circles, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes. The hydrating cream formula glides over skin without caking or settling for results that are smooth, natural, and flawless.

WHAT I THINK- This concealer is definitely full coverage!!! Its really thick but still creamy. I love that it has 16 different shades, so there is def a shade for everyone, i got it in 3.5. I bought it to use to conceal dark spots but when it came the shade i ordered was lighter than what i thought it would be, so i decided to use it for highlighting and contour, only thing is that i find its just a little to thick for my under eye area, (think i'm also really just used to my other more liquid concealers) I use my beauty blender to apply this concealer, i tried using my brushes but i personaly think the beauty blender is just what works best! I have actually also used this to clean my brows and also as an eye base. All in all i'm glad i got it, infact i'm planning to buy the darker shade to use to conceal spots.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS BROW WIZ- $21

DESCRIPTION- This ultra-slim mechanical pencil flawlessly outlines brows and fills in sparse or over-tweezed areas. Neither too soft nor too firm, the retractable tip glides effortlessly to mimic natural hair and create the illusion of texture.

WHAT I THINK- This product is the bomb!!! Like seriously i love this stuff! Super easy to use. I dont like doing to much to my brows cause really dont like the drawn in look, but this product just works for me, i use it to fill in my brows, it just has such a natural look. It comes in 9 different shades, i got it in the shade ebony.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS DUO BRUSH (#7)- $18

DESCRIPTION- This angled flat brush has soft, synthetic bristles designed for use with Brow Powder Duo. The superfine edge precisely sweeps color through brows and mimics natural hairs.

WHAT I THINK- I got this brush cause its travel size, its super cute. lol! Its a pretty good brush actually love that its small so its very precise.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS TINTED BROW GEL- $22

DESCRIPTION- Like a mascara for brows, this lightweight, tinted brush-on gel subtly intensifies and volumizes. Use it to deepen blonde brows, brighten dark brows, or conceal gray hair. One swipe offers a hint of pigment and flexible hold without residue.

WHAT I THINK- So i dont know about this product, not really feeling it. The brush is just too big, so it kind of gets messy sometimes, like i have to take my time to apply this, once its applied it does a great job, it holds my brows in place and gives it a nice tint, it just makes it look fuller, but i really dont like spending too much time on my brows, prefer nice quick products, this would have been perfect if the brush was smaller! It comes in 4 shades, and i got it in espresso.

SUMMER READY!!!!

Hey guys, so summer is here!!!..... thought i'd share some great summer colours! Recently i've been into orange and peach blushes, shadows and lippies.... cant get enough! I got these babies from online stores in nigeria (sooo sorry i cant remember right now cause got them few months ago, if i remember will update.)

From L-R: milani bella eyes gel eye powder eye shadow(bella mandarin), mac proenza schouler blush ombre (ocean city), too faced melted liquified long wear lipstick (melted nude)

I am so inlove with the mac proenza scholar blush and the too faced melted liquified long wear lipstick! I love how easy it is to apply the lipstick, and its just the perfect nude for me, its not a light nude its a peachy pink nude if that makes sense lol, i love it anyway! I bought a mini version of it in the shade melted nude because i wanted to try it out first, but im definitely going to buy a bigger version of it, love it that much!
 The mac blush is a peach tone blush, it feels soo good on my skin and it really gives me a nice coral beachy look. love it!
 The milani eye shadow is soooo silky omg! cant even describe it... It is super pigmented and applies like a dream. I own quite a few shades of these eye shadows, it has def become one of my fav!!! Been loving milani products in general, have a few things i'm planning to reveiw soon.....

ENJOY!!!

LIPPIES!!!

Hiya,
these are a few lip products i got online amongst other stuff (i said in one of my previous posts that i'd be doing a review of the products so here it is)

MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS MOISTURIZING LIP BALM (L-R: PEACH KISS AND OH ORANGE): I looooove these lip balms! love it that it has a tint of colour and it moisturizes really well with out being over bearing ( you know how some lip balms are just way too greasy? this isn't like that thank God), perfect for when when i have no make up! This is always in my gym bag (for whenever i do make it to the gym lol!) 

MAC LIPSTICK (LADY DANGER): I mean i really dont have to say much about mac lipsticks! I love this lippie!!!! Its a beautiful red with orange undertones. Happy i bought this. Hit!!!

WET N WILD!!!

I got these wet n wild products amongst other products a few months back from accessoriesng an online store in nigeria (as i mentioned in one of my previous posts). Here are the products and what i think about them....

 WET N WILD LIPSTICK (BARE IT ALL): love this lipstick, its a matte natural mauve colour with blue undertones if that makes sense lol, its super pigmented and rich and goes on smooth on the lips, for the price you really can't go wrong, love it!

 WET N WILD MEGA EYES CREME EYELINER (BLACK): so because i have had this product for a few months now i can really do a proper review on it and its longevity or should i say its life span lol! When i first got it i loved it, it was super black and just went on easy even the brush was pretty cute to use, but this stuff dried up in no time! i was a little dissapointed cause i actually like this stuff... pity! I guess i have to go and find one of them liquids that u can drop in dried up products to revive it... (sorry don't know what its called now but i have seen them, when i find it dont worry i'll do a review)

WET N WILD COLORICON EYESADOW PALETTE (E249 VANITY): I really love this eye shadow palette, there was a point where i was using it almost every day, you can use it for so many different eye looks, i just love it, the only problem is i feel its best used with an eye primer, so if you feel like thats a hassel then its a prob but if you dont care then its great! for the price i think this is a pretty good palette, worth trying out!

KEVYN AUCOIN THE SENSUAL SKIN ENHANCER!!!

Hiya, this is my review on the kevyn aucoin sensual skin enhancer. I think this is probably the best concealer coverage wise i have, although i dont use it alot to be honest because its just way too pigmented for me to use every day, i use it when i have parties or events or really just feel like dressing majorly up lol. I'm pretty sure this stuff is going to last me forever because its so pigmented you literally need just a tiny dab and your good. So i know this stuff is supposed to be a foundation/concealer but i use it only as a concealer mainly for under my eyes for brightening, i dont really like using this on blemishes unless its dried out because i think it has mineral oils in it which is def not good for spots. Anyway all being said i do love this product! I got it in the hade sx11.

L.A GIRL GLAZED LIP PAINT!!!

Hey guys, so this is my review on the la girl lip paints i got from accessories ng. I got 3 shades baby doll, hot mess, and coy. So basically i dont have very much to say about these sorrrrryyy..... but i really did try to love it but i just dont love it, i think its just an okay product to be honest, i can't quite get a hang of it, its just not an easy product to apply, it applies quite messy, basically the way this works best for me is to apply with a lip brush, other wise it just goes every where, on the up side its definitely pigmented and they have a nice range of beautiful colours. These lip paints are actually great dupes for the too faced melted liquified long wear lipsticks.

                      FROM L-R: COY, HOT MESS, BABY DOLL

DUPE ALERT!!! (ELF & NARS)

Hi guys,

I found a great dupe for the famous Nars albatross highlighting blush!!! For those of you that dont want to cough out that much for a highlighter this is a great dupe alert!

Elf studio blush in gotta glow is a great dupe for Nars albatross. These two blushes look almost exactly the same, its just that the elf one can be a little more chalky than the nars, the nars one just seems to be more fine and smooth on the skin. 

Elf studio blush in gotta glow is $3 and Nars highlighting blush in albatross is $30.

GOODIES..... MINI HAUL FROM BEAUTY REVOLUTION!!!

Hiya,

These are a few goodies I got from www.beautyrevng.com...

-TRADER JOE'S ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL:

These are the ways I use this oil:

-I use this oil to deep condition my hair. Either I mix it with any hair mask or deep conditioner and put a shower cap on leaving it for a bit before I rinse it off or I just apply it alone to my hair, letting it really soak in, then I put a shower cap on and leave it over night. This really makes my hair nice, soft, healthy and helps my hair grow.

-I mix this oil with pure vitamin E oil to use as an eye cream and also I rub this mix all over my face every other night just before I sleep.

-I mix this oil with cocoa butter and rub it all over my skin (specially on places that I tend to get stretch marks) this is soo good for the skin!

-NARS BLUSH (ALBATROSS): I use this blush as a highlighter.

-RED CHERRY EYELASHES (117): I use this eyelash when I want to go for a real dramatic eye look, the lashes are quite long and full.

MINI ELF HAUL

Hi guys.

Just got these beauties from www.thebeautyboon.com. I have really been loving ELF products recently! I think for how affordable they are they are great products! There are a few hits and misses for me but definitely more hits!!! The quality of alot of their products are amazing (for the price)! I've also noticed that they are great dupes for alot of high end products (will do a review soon on great elf dupes).  Anyway so these are the products i got....

-ELF STUDIO SMALL TAPERED BRUSH
-ELF STUDIO BLUSH (CANDID CORAL)
-ELF STUDIO BLUSH (GOTTA GLOW)
-ELF MINERAL PRESSED MINERAL BLUSH (CABO CABANA)

ELF STUDIO SMALL TAPERED BRUSH.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The tapered head of the small tapered brush makes application easy for reaching small crevices for a flawless finish. This precision brush is perfect for contouring and creating even coverage. Use with powder to set under the eye, on the hollows of the cheek to contour with bronzer, or use with foundation to achieve a light finish.  

HOW I USE IT: I use this brush with my powder to set my under eye concealer mostly. I have also tried using it to contour (this brush kind of reminds me of the real techniques contour brush, like they have almost the same shape) it fits perfectly on the hollows of my cheek. But i have to say i prefer using it to set my concealer, it works perfect for me. I really love this brush, since i got it i've used it every single time i put on makeup.

(L-R): ELF MINERAL PRESSED MINERAL BLUSH (CABO CABANA), ELF STUDIO BLUSH (GOTTA GLOW), ELF STUDIO BLUSH (CANDID CORAL)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS:

ELF MINERAL PRESSED MINERAL BLUSH (CABO CABANA): Creat a beautiful flushed look with this all natural, enhancing blush. This innovative pressed powder creates a silky smooth texture that blends like a dream for everyday wear. Infused with vitamine E and Grape to nourish the skin and provide anti-aging benefits for a more revitalized look.

ELF STUDIO BLUSH (GOTTA GLOW AND CANDID CORAL): The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complextion with a subtle healthy glow.

HOW I USE PRODUCTS: 

I use the elf mineral blush in cabo cabana on the apples of my cheek as a blush, its a beautiful coral with like a satin finish to it. This blush is really pigmented, so i use a light hand to apply it. Love this blush! 

I uses the elf mineral blush in gotta glow as a highlighter, it just gives me this nice glow! This is said to be a dupe for the famous nars albatross (and i have to say i have both and it really is a great dupe, will do a review soon on both powders so u guys can see).

I use the elf studio blush in candid coral as a blush when i want to have a nice glow to my skin. Its a bit shimmery, its like a coral with a gold undertone (dont know why in the picture it shows up more gold, i promise u it doesnt really look like that) i dont really use this on the apples of my cheeks, i wear it more high up like on top of my cheek bones (if that makes sense) it just gives like a nice sunkissed look. 

Lots of Love,

CURLFORMERS!!!

Hi guys,

Got this curlformers a few months ago, and i have to say they are just brilliant!!! I really love it! Its a great way to get spiral curls without heat. Its actually quite amazing the kind of curls this thing produces with out heat and the best part is the curls really lasts for long! I've got natural hair and its very hard to get curls that lasts with my natural hair (unless i put them in rollers and go under the dryer for like an hour and a half, cause my hair is really long! But i hate sitting under the dryer, and also dont like putting that much heat on my hair) So when i found this product i was really excited! Like seriously you guys need to try this stuff out!
You can check out the video on their website on how it works- www.curlformers.com. They have different types on the site, some for long hair, some for short hair, some for tight curls, some for loose curls, basically they have different types of packs depending on what exactly you want. I got the EXTRA LONG SPIRAL CURLS CURLFORMERS STYLING KIT, this comes with 40 extra long and wide curl formers, 2 styling hooks and styling instructions. This kit is ideal for long hair up to 22 inches (55cms) long.

This is what the curls look like (on the right). Great stuff!!! I love the results!!! :-)

ELF BRUSH SHAMPOO: An anti-bacterial brush cleanser for thorough cleaning in-between makeup applications. Disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time.

ROSE WATER!!!

Hi guys,

Rose water has many benefits and can be used in various ways to benefit your skin and overall well-being. No matter what your skin type is – this “wonder of nature” can bring you handful of goodness!
First of all, let’s talk about some benefits of rose water:
Rose water can bring benefits to all skin types, it can help sooth and cool sensitive and irritated skin, balance and cleanse oily skin, rejuvenate, soften and tone mature skin, revitalize and add beautiful glow to the normal skin. Rosewater is filled with anti-oxidants and various vitamins, therefore, it can help prevent the signs of ageing and nourish the skin.
Rose water also has natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

So, what are possible uses of rose water for beautiful skin and your well-being?
1) Use rose water to prevent or reduce eye puffiness.
Just place a bottle of rose water into the fridge for half an hour and then, apply some of it on a cotton pad and gently place it on your eyes. It will help sooth the tender skin around your eyes and prevent or reduce eye puffiness.

2) Freshen your face throughout the day by spraying rose water mist on your skin.
Especially, in the summer time, rose water can become your faithful friend and helper, caring for your skin like nothing else; just spray rose water mist on your face (or you can also apply it using a cotton pad), it will instantly freshen your skin, naturally hydrate and nourish it, adding wonderful radiance and glow. I, personally, love keeping a bottle of rose water in my fridge in the summer and spray my face with it multiple times throughout the day.

3) Add 2 cups of rose water into your bath for divine and unforgettable experience. Rose water will soften and add freshness to your skin, it also will leave amazing scent of fresh rose on your body. Isn’t it a perfect treat for our beauty?!

4) Use rose water to soften dry skin.
Ladies with dry skin can experience amazing benefits of rose water. When you apply rose water on your skin – you can notice soothing and softening effect of it straight away.

5) Rose water can also work as a natural makeup remover. Just apply rose water on a cotton pad and gently remove your makeup with it, gently massaging your face. To create even more effective makeup remover – dampen the cotton pad with rose water and apply a little bit of liquid coconut oil on top of it, mixing rose water and coconut oil – this natural skin care product for removing makeup is one of my favorites! It efficiently removes makeup not only from your face, but also, can be used on the gentle skin around the eyes. Never rub harshly nor stretch your skin while removing makeup, because we want to keep our skin young and beautiful for a very long time, right?!

6) You can also use rose water as your perfect natural setting spray. Yes, rose water can be applied (sparingly) over the makeup as a setting product, providing beautiful, healthy glow and amazing dewy finish.

7) Use rose water as a skin toner.
Regular use of rose water as a toner can help prevent rinkles (slowing down aging process), tighten pores and add a wonderful glow to the skin.

8) You can use rose water as an after-shave, to prevent irritation and sooth the skin. Not only it can help make your freshly shaved legs feel softer, but also, rose water will leave its amazingly wonderful scent on your skin!

9) Aromatherapy.
I can’t help but mention that you can use rose water as an ingredient of aromatherapy. Researches have shown that aromatherapy can have tremendous positive effect in helping fight stress, contribute to more sound sleep and even can help us be more positive!

So guys when buying rose water, please pay close attention to the label, not all fragrant waters are made equal, and while some brands sell the real byproduct of rose oil production, others offer reconstitutions of varying quality. Food and cosmetics grade waters are the best and can be found at middle eastern and indian stores, whole food and gourmet shops too. I use cortas rose water, this is a great recommended lebanease brand, this product is made out of pure distilled rose petals, with no additives. I didnt get this from lagos, but i have spotted another brand of rose water on www.sizzelle.com it's called heritage rose petals rose water, heritage is a great brand too, so you can try this out.

I hope you found these natural skin care tips useful. Please, feel free to ask any questions and share your secrets on how  you like to use rose water for beautiful skin and overall welling.

Stay beautiful!!!

(by the way as u can see in the picture i poured some of my rose water in a mist spray bottle,  this way its easy for me to just spray on my face when i want to hydrate and refresh my face through out the day, or when i want to use as a setting spray for my makeup for a beautiful healthy glow and dewy finish. I also use this as a body mist sometimes cause it smells great!)

EXFOLIAGE FACIAL BRUSH!!!

Hi guys,

I found this face brush a few weeks ago at Ebanor supermarket in lekki phase 1, it was upstairs in their beauty section, when i saw it thought it was pretty cute and really wanted to try it out so i got it. It was pretty cheap (sorry cant remember exactly how much it was, but know it was less than 1,500 naira). I was a little scared at first to use it, cause i really dont like experimenting that much with new things on my face, but when i took it out the pack and felt the brush it was just soooo soft, i figured it cant do that much harm lol, so i went ahead and tried it, and i tell you i loved it! It felt really nice, soft and gentle on my skin wasnt harsh at all and i felt it really gave my face a good polish! I use this brush with my face wash, so basically i rub my face wash on my face then i use the brush to scrub before rinsing off. I dont use the brush every day, i use it like 3/4 times a week (though i do feel the brush is soft enough to use everyday i just cant be bothered lol.) This is definitely a good ulternate for all them really expensive face brushes, I've tried a few and honestly think this does pretty much the same job!

SUNSCREEN!!!

Hi guys,

I can't say enough about the importance of wearing sunscreen!!!! Its surprising but there are an alarmig amount of people who brave the UV Rays without applying sunblock! (i mean is skin cancer not scary enough?!).
For those who dont wear sunscreen, you will regret not having worn sunscreen when you look at your skin compared to friends and family who have worn daily sunscreen 20 years from now. This is an honest straight up personal advice!
These are the top 5 reasons why i believe everyone should wear sunscreen:

1. The ozone layer is depleting and your body needs shielding from harmful rays.

2. Skin cancer rates are on the rise and sunscreen has been proven to decrease the development of skin cancer.

3. It helps to prevent facial brown spots and skin discolorations.

4. It also helps to reduce the appearance of facial red veins and blotchiness.

5. It slows down the development of wrinkled, premature aging skin.

My favourite sunscreen is the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen, spf 45! I love this sunscreen! its really lightweight on the skin, its comes in different levels of spf , from spf30-100 (isnt that amazing! love it!). This product also doesnt leave my skin feeling greasy or shiny like most sunscreens, its also water resistant. It really just has a great feel to it in my opinion. Love this sunscreen. You can buy this at Ebanor Supermarket in lekki phase 1, have spotted this there a few times.
