REVIEW: BH COSMETICS MISSY LYNN EYESHADOW PALETTE

Hi Guys!!

Now this palette i purchased because i wanted the Carli Bybel palette immediately i saw it. i I felt sooo  shady not purchasing the Missy Lynn palette and you know we have to support our SISTAS!!!LOL. I also purchased this because was limited edition and i thought HEY! WHY NOT!  Now that i have this palette, i am glad i got it.

Missy Lynn if you don't already know, is a very popular and successful you tuber and beauty enthusiast with her own lipstick with Gerard cosmetics and this eye-shadow collaboration with Bh Cosmetics. 

The packaging is very pretty as with all BH Cosmetics packaging. They really do go all out and make very nice packaging for their products. I really like this one and the little motivational quote inside. Such a nice touch. When i opened mine, there was a strong smell of glue on it. Did anyone else experience this? :/.. Let me know guys.

When i first saw this palette, i was most interested in the highlight shades. The eye shadows didn't really do it for me because i kept thinking... What will i do with these colors? They looked a little hard to work with and also looked like the pigmentation would not be great. After getting my hands on this palette, i was super impressed. The colors are very pigmented and apply very well. I like the bottom row much more than i do the top row though. The purple's are my two fave colors.  I experienced no fallout with these and the highlight colors are gorgeous!! The first highlight color looks a lot like gold deposit. We could call this a dupe even. What i like to do with these are i spray my brush just a little to make the colors pop a lot more and i enjoy the product even more.

WHERE TO BUY: BEAUTYREVGNG (These where limited edition and i'm not sure if it is still available but you might get lucky)

PRICE:N4500

Thanks for Stopping by!!

REVIEW: COLOURPOP SUPER SHOCK HIGHLIGHTERS IN WISP &AVALON

Hi Guys,

I recently ordered some colourpop highlighter's from MYMAKEUPNG as i was super impressed with the performance of their eye shadows and all their products in general.(Still coming down from my high on the liquid lipsticks.Eeeeeeek) I did some shade surfing and i found two colors i felt i absolutely had to have. They where Avalon and Wisp. I also chose these because they are very brown girl friendly and ashy highlights are a NO NO for me!!

What ColourPop Says: Wisp is a pearlized Golden champagne color with highly reflective hues of gold duo chrome finishes. 

DAZZLEBEAUTIE: This highlight i had heard so much about. WISP! WISP! Everywhere on the gram! I was even more interested when i found out it was very similar to Becca Opal.(THANKS TO DUPE THAT).The pigmentation of this product is amazing. It does have the same moussey consistency as the eye shadows but not as bouncey. This colour is such a pretty champagne color and catches the light beautfiully. I also haven't had any breaking with these unlike the shadows.

What ColourPop Says: A pearlized true golden bronze with golden pink duo chrome finish.

DAZZLEBEAUTIE: This colour i got because it reminded me of my MAC Gold deposit MSF that i use all the time. I have a bunch of highlighting products but that one just does it for me. I decided to get a C&C version of it and i must say i am super impressed with this. COLOURPOP STAYS WINNING!!! This product sinks into the skin and just gives a pretty glow.It will look absolutely stunning on dark skin. 

I want to try other colors but i don't know which ones to get. They all look so pretty but some do look a little bit light for my complexion. I love that these are super long lasting and give a "LIT UP" look that is very natural. What colour's do you just have to own guys? I would love to find out.

WHERE TO BUY: MYMAKEUPNG

REVIEW: ANASTACIA BEVERLY HILLS SHADOW COUTURE PALETTE.

Hallo People!!!

I almost didn't post this review because as far as i am concerned this palette is already OLD! LOL. Honestly, ABH release new palettes every other day i don't know how they do it.They stay taking people's money but i'm not complaining though. Before i purchased this palette, i had not one eyeshadow from the brand. I really wanted the Amrezy palette but couldn't get my hands on it for some reason.

When i saw the colors in this palette, i was so excited. It has the perfect amount of matte and shimmery colors that i like. There is a soft brow bone/lid color, a transition color and a black color. Everything an ideal palette should have in my opinion.The palette contains four matte eye shadows and eight shimmer or metallic finish eye shadows which are super long lasting and pigmented. You honestly do not need a primer with these but i always advise that you use one.

Soft Peach – Nude pastel peach with an ultra-matte finish.

Morocco – Deep burnt orange with an ultra-matte finish.

Heirloom – Pinky eggplant with a sparkle finish.

Bellini – Golden peach with a satin finish.

Pink Champagne – Shimmery pink with a titanium finish.

Chic – Taupe gray with a shimmer finish.

Spoiled – Gold-flecked peach with a metallic finish.

Fudge – Rich, chocolate brown with an ultra-matte finish.

Azure – Vibrant blue with a metallic finish.

Intense Gaze – Bronzed pink with a satin finish.

Metallic – Brassy gold with a metallic finish.

Noir – Deep carbon black with an ultra-matte finish.

I have not one complaint about these. Even the double ended brush in there. It does an amazing job especially the side for blending out crease colors. I experienced little or no fall out with these and the colors look so gorgeous on. I didnt think soft peach and bellini would show up right but they are so buttery and pigmented. If you have ever contemplated on ABH eye shadows do give them a try. You will love them.

Thanks for stopping by!

This palette looks very interesting and i can't wait to get my hands on this. Loving the neutrals, the rusty color, that sea green color and that DEEP PURPLE!! Also, they brought back pink champagne!! Honestly, this was the color that made me purchase my shadow couture palette. It is so pretty!!!

I can't wait to get my hands on these and do a full review!

BEAUTY AFRICA CONFERENCE DAY 2!!

Hello guys,

On Monday, i shared some pics from Day 1 of the Beauty Africa conference and i today i am posting pics from Day 2. I was able to attend three classes. First was the Social media and Marketing class with Ez of Beauty in Lagos, Stella of Stella's Addiction, Daboju of NaijaHaircanGrow, Nibi of Kinky Apothecary and Jennifer of Bella Naija. It was awesome and the turn out was great. This class really helped me re-think the methods i have been employing to get my blog out there and also my business. Social media is a very powerful tool and can produce amazing benefits and results when used properly.

The second class was a bridal hair looks demo by Junior Green, a celebrity Hairstylist, and the third was a makeup demo by Bimpe Onakoya featuring Editorial and Runway looks. Honestly,Bimpe is amazing at what she does. This was the first time i saw someone apply foundation on the face like body lotion and it was the most flawless application i had ever seen. No brush or beauty blender can rival the hands when it comes to blending depending on how you do it. I will try and apply my foundation with my hands and see how it goes but i do not think i can pull if off as flawlessly as she did.

Overall, i had a blast and i learnt so much. I f you missed it.. what where you thinking?? LOL.

Hope you enjoyed the pics!Thanks for Stopping by!

BEAUTYAFRICA CONFERENCE DAY 1

MY AD!!! I WAS SUPER EXCITED!!!!

Hello Guys!!

I honestly do not know where or how to begin typing up this post about the Beauty Africa conference that just ended on Friday. First of all, last year's edition was the maiden edition  in Nigeria and if you thought that was BIG,this year was on a whole other LEVEL!!

Beauty Africa is the largest event dedicated to beauty and wellness industry in Nigeria and i was in awe of the number of international companies that came into the country for this event. There where well over a 100 companies both local and international. 

When i walked into the hall, i was in awe..  I mean super impressed!! I didn't know where to start taking pics from or what direction to go first because it was just too much for me. In a good way that is.I walked round the hall at least twice to get a feel of the whole event,look out for some familiar face before i started taking pics. The organisation was way better than last year and there where well defines stalls for different brands. The flow through the hall was great for easy access and movement and the display and lighting was perfect. I had so much fun walking round the hall and taking pics for the blog. If you missed it, don't feel too bad! Your girl has pics for ya! *WINK*

I took a ton of pictures but i didn't want to make this post too pic heavy!!(Like it still isn't anyway.LOL) Unfortunately, i didn't attend any of the classes for day 1(there where two classes going on simultaneously) as i had to get back to work but i will share the those i attended from Day 2 in another post tomorrow!!

Hope you enjoyed the pics! 

Thanks for Stopping by!!
