Hey guys! Happy New Year and welcome to 2016. This post is coming soooo late, I know! December was such a crazily busy but beautiful month for me. Jesse and I had our traditional wedding back at my hometown. It was simply beautiful and breathtaking filled with all the love you can possibly imagine. We had so much support from our families and friends and we cannot wait to turn up again in a few months for our church/white wedding. Stay tuned to my social media pages to see all the beautiful official photos thanks to Gabriel Uko Photography. I am still waiting on it too and its such a heart wrenching wait but its so going to be worth it. In the meantime, you can follow me on Instagram to see a few photos captured by our family and friends.

I have been itching to do this post. If you are into Youtube makeup videos and you don't know Missy Lynn a.k.a Start2FinishMUA, then my darling I must ask 'WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN'? I've been subscribed to Missy Lynn's channel for a while now and she is a cute black American who is in the military and is also a beauty guru. Some months ago, she teamed up with BH Cosmetics to create her own eyeshadow/highlighter palette and its been selling out fast.

Hey guys! So I figured since I have been dishing out dark makeup looks, its about time I did something fun and playful. Doing these makeup pictorials is very tasking, I tell you, but then again its so much fun.

Ever wondered how you can wear a sequin top in the daytime? Simple. Tone it down with a darker colour, throw on a pair of heels and you're good to go. Over the weekend, I paired this multi colour sequin top with brick brown trousers and strappy heels. Really loved the entire look. By the way, my braids have refused to get old. The older it gets, the prettier it becomes. I'm really feeling the hairstyle this season and I see myself making more of them.

Hey guys! This outfit combination gives me a feeling of fusing Western and African cultures. Denim and ankara can be styled in so many ways and this is just one of them. This is a fun, edgy and chic look and you can easily turn any ankara skirt into an awesome fashion item.

Most times when I have an event or outing at night, I go for one particular look. Champagne gold eyes and bright red lips. It always works for me, its really simple and I'm sure it would look good on just about anyone. I also used dramatic lashes to achieve a 'wow' effect. Being that Valentine's Day is a few days away, this would be perfect for date night with that special one.

Happy New Year darlings! May the year 2015 be good to every single one of you.
For most of you who don't know, this dress was sewn. Yup, you heard me, sewn! Big up to my tailor, she's amazing. When I have something in mind, I usually don't stress about finding it readymade. I just design and have someone bring my idea to reality. I got inspired to make this dress because of the lace details attached to the neck and sleeves.

So for the benefit of everyone who asked how I did it, I decided to do a blog post on this look I created a while back. I posted pics on Instagram and BBM. This look was actually for a giveaway competition. I played with these colours as part of the rules of the game. Yellow, purple, ice blue and shades of pink all on one face. Lol. So, I'll just give a step by step description of how I created this look.

I'm thoroughly excited about today's post. Since i promised to be bringing more makeup posts, my fingers have been itching to just keep inventing different looks and I combine colours i think would really look good. This is an olive green smokey eye and bright orange lips. I love love love this orange lipstick i purchased sometime ago. I did a very thin eyeliner which looks almost invincible. By the way, I'm extremely proud of my photography skills in this post. For everyone in Nigeria, you can find majority of the products i use on BeautyKink or BeautyBoon.

Lipsticks are probably the next on the list of a girl's best friend after diamonds... Oh, make that after diamonds and shoes. Lol. Anyway, makeup can never be complete without a pop of colour on the lips. There are loads of lipstick brands, colours and shades out there but there are three basic hues every lady must have irrespective of brand or price especially when you're just starting your makeup kit.
