Mac Kelly Yum Yum Lipstick- Review & Swatches

Hi Guys,

I have never been a Kelly Osbourne fan!! I mean yeah shes popular and is from a popular family and has done music and bla bla bla! But when she redefined herself , oh my she became super gorgeous! She is also a  total hit on Fashion Police and when i heard she was coming out with a makeup collection with my favorite brand in the world...... I WAS SUPER EXCITED. You know i kept checking for updates and pictures on temptalia and all other sites that give juicy details on the collection. I already knew what i wanted to get... 

MAC Kelly Yum-Yum Lipstick  is described as a “bright blue pink with a Satin finish.” It’s a vibrant, medium, fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and leans slightly magenta. It had rich, opaque color payoff, and the consistency is creamy and makes is super easy to apply. This lipstick reminds me of Candy yum yum and is DEFINITELY  inspired by it but is a tad bit darker . 

KYY is definitely more in the comfort zone for a lot of people who can't wear CYY because they feel it is too bright . Yes it is blue based and has a little hint of a neon/ flourescent look to it, but it is more wearable than CYY, even without a lip pencil. I must say this lip color will stain your lips so if you like a little tint to your lips you will enjoy this one. The satin finish applies  easily but it gets a little dry after a bit. I like to put some clear lip gloss in the centre to keep it moist.

The packaging of this product is really pretty. Lord knows i love me some MAC  limited edition packaging. They are so pretty and i love to collect them.It is the standard MAC bullet packaging but the color is a light violet and it has Kelly's signature in red.

I'm so glad i was able to get some stuff from this collection. I got dodgy girl as well and i'l post that up next. What did you get? I'd love to see!!!! :D

REVIEW: Maybelline Clearsmooth all in one Powder

Hi Guys,

I thought i would round off the week with a review of this product i got recently. If anyone attended the first maybelline masterclass that held at Four points a few months back, you definitely heard about this powder..Most especially in the shade CACAO!! How can i forget that name so soon. It was said that there was going to be so new inexpensive powders suitable for Nigerian weather and i couldn't wait to try them. This powder comes in 

The Maybelline clear smooth powder is one that makes a lot of promises. It says on the pack, discover the powder that does it all... THROUGH IT ALL. Clear Smooth All-In-One is available in 6 shades from lightest to darkest- Toffee, Caramel, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Mocha & Cocoa. It promises to do a few things to your skin once you put this on

Controls Shine

Conceals flaws

Smooths

Evens

Mattifies

Perfects tone

SPF25/++

DazzleBeautie: Now let me tell you what i think. First of all, i like the packaging. It is so pretty and i love that they made the packaging pink. It is slim and sturdy. It is also very compact so it sits perfectly in your makeup purse or in the corner of your bag. Wherever you want to keep it. Now, this powder is very good. I have been using this powder on its own since i got it. It really matches my skin tone and it gives really good coverage.It is lightweight but still manages to give good coverage too. It also helped to control shine. That part was what really interested me because i never find powders that do that.It doesn't have any funny smell too. 

One thing i would say is Maybelline needs to make more shades of this. The color Toffee is great for me but it also matches my skin a little too much. I mean this in the sense that when i wear it with a foundation that is my shade it will look a little dark for me. 

Overall i like this product a lot and i will recommend.

WHERE TO BUY:  Any House of Tara store near you.
PRICE: N2000

Hi People!!!!

If you all read my last blog post, i left a little note at the bottom that i had some issues with my camera. I got that camera in december and it malfunctioned so i had to send it back to the store to get it fixed. This really upset me and i was so pissed because it meant i wouldn't have anything to post for a while. Luckily for me a dear friend of my lent me a camera to use till i got mine back....

Anyways, i did a makeup look this sunday and i wanted to share with you all. I wanted to do something really smokey and fun and play with a little glitter.

GET HEALTHY HAIR WITH HAIR FINITY

Supplements are all the rave now. Don't believe me? Check online. Everyone is using them and they seem to be working. They are not new but they are the IN THING for healthy hair! A few months ago i started seeing all sorts of celebrities endorsing this Hairfinity. Honestly, i got it just because of that. First of all, let me start with the nature of my hair. I have done HAVOC to it. When i was little, i had the fullest wildest hair ever. My front hair was touching my eyebrows. Lord knows i had a uni brow. My front hair is still so full now but i make sure to push it back a little when i shapen my brows. I know this is bad but i relax my hair every month. I hardly ever treat it or steam it or generally take care of it. My hair is so uneven and weak. I just wear my weaves because i don't have the energy or patience to handle it. 

Over a month ago i decided to give this product a try after reading tons of reviews. I was first skeptical about this because i don't like taking tablets for anything at all. Give me an injection and i'm good. I also always forget to take them. I cant stand the taste of drugs in my mouth. I was also thinking, IS IT THAT SERIOUS?? So because i want my hair to be healthy and thick and long i have to take drugs for that? I'm sure im not the only one that thought this. LOL

After doing some thorough research on the products used in the production of this i finally gave in an purchased one.

WHAT HAIRFINITY SAYS: Hairfinity is a nutritional supplement that is transforming the hair of women all over the world. A unique natural blend of vitamins, nutrients and our exclusive Capilsana™ Complex, it promotes healthy hair growth and nourishes your hair from the inside out. - Hairfinity is an innovation in hair care. The ingredients promote a healthy scalp, increased hair elasticity, increased hair strength, and more. 

DAZZLEBEAUTIE: Hairfinity is an all natural supplement which i like first of all. The product comes in a clear gel capsule so you can see what you are about to consume. There are 60 capsules in a jar. A jar is a one month supply of hairfinity as you are supposed to take two caps a day. You can either choose to take this at once or one in the morning and the other at night. However you choose but i take mine at once. No big deal.

This product is intended to work from the inside out. I truly believe that is the best way for growth because there is so much hair lotions and products can do. I must say i did not see a lot of difference in the length of my hair but my hair feels thicker. It wasn't in the state it was before i started taking this. I know results are not automatic and you have to stick to it for a few months to see great results and i will continue using this product for a few months.

I know a few people complained about heart burn and severe break outs with this product but i did not experience any of the above. I have G.E.R.D which make me have heartburn that can be triggered by anything  but i did  not feel any of that while taking this.  Even when my "Lady days" came around i did not break out because i usually do. Not crazy breakouts but maybe a pimple here and there. I was PIMPLE FREE hunnnaaayyy!!! :D

HAIRFINITY IS NOW IN NIGERIA! Im sure a ton of people know that now. They are officially on Konga. If you want to get your hair life purchase some and try it out. I truly recommend sticking to this properly. Don't skip days and expect magic to happen o.. Also,try it out for at least three months.

That's my little review. I should do an update in three months. Does anyone use this? What do you think about it?

N.B: I haven't been blogging as much as i should and i haven't done any makeup looks because the camera i purchased in December decided to break up with me. :( I don't know what happened, the screen just went blank and i had to send it back to the store i purchased it from. It should be back in my arms in not time.

WHERE TO BUY: THE BEAUTYBOON
