Mosaic/ Powder Bronzer Review

Hi my dolls! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. So sorry i havent posted in a while. I have been going crazy looking for my internet stick. Still havent found it but i have alternative internet now so yaay!:) . 
 
Today i want to share with you some bronzers i picked up from a shop recently.I actually  went in to pick up some lipglosses (which i will be reviewing soon) and these caught my eye.The funny thing is they are from a no name brand so i cannot tell you what company makes them but if anyone has them or knows where they are from please let me know.

They come in a black compact case and a mirror also. I really like how shimmery they are and are very great for highlighting the nose and cheekbones. I use the mosaic one as a blush and i use the one named 'KENYA' as a highlight powder and i must say i am really impressed.
 
 
 
 
 I will post some makeup looks with these so you can see how they look 'IN ACTION'. ;D

TREND: BRIGHT LIPS!!!

Hey Dolls, the BRIGHT LIPS trend is very IN right now and i had to re-blog this from my old blog because i really love it.I see a lot of people wearing it and i think they all look great.It instantly lights up your face with little or no makeup on.It also looks great on a variety of skin tones depending on how this is applied. I personally wear different colors and they all suit me with a neutral eye.The trend in right now is the VAMPY lips and its so gorgeous. * watch out for some pics,a  blogpost and a tutorial soon*

KONGA Review/ Revlon Mini Haul

Hi Dolls!! Hope everyone is doing fine. Today i will be doing a review of the newly launched product site. KONGA!!! I have so many great things to say about them i dont even know where to begin so here goes...... I came across the site online and decided to check it out and knowing me i went straight to the beauty section. They had some great products in stock. After much speculation i decided to go ahead, sign up and order something (Revlon PINK POUT lipstick) and to my surprise their response was prompt and my package arrived. The service was so quick and the dispatch rider was very polite and friendly( Customer service is very KEY)!! I was very impressed and ever since then i have become a faithful Kongaite!! ;D.I believe they are going to be around for a very long time if they keep up  this amazing service.They also offer "PAY ON DELIVERY"!!!! How cool is that? This is not my first purchase from them but this post is going to feature my latest purchase and a review of others i have picked up earlier.

ALSOOO: They tweeted at me and gave me a free N2000 voucher for sounding off about them on twitter!! That was too sweet. ;)  Thanks once again guys!!!Now unto some pictures.....




Nice and neat packaging with the Konga sticker on top :)
 
 
 
Revlon Colorburst lipglosses in Strawberry, hot pink ice, orchid . Revlon superlustrous lipgloss in Pink whisper, Pink pop, Red Cherry 113 lashes

 
I must say i have been a fan of Revlon products for a very long time and i absolutely love them. The lipglosses are very moisturizing, lightweight and pack a lot of shine. Non sticky, easy to apply and can be worn alone or over lipstick. I plan on purchasing more if i can get my hands on them.. P.S ' Konga im looking at u' ;)

My First Blog Post!



Hi Everyone. Hope you are all doing great. About a year ago i started a blog to share my love for beauty with the world, but i got so caught up and busy and i forgot all about my baby.I recently got into the groove of blogging again and i just felt it would only be right to start afresh! I guess thats a good thing. This blog is my little way of purging,connecting, sharing and best of all just being ME!! :) Just a little piece of me. Im an English graduate with a love for all things 'FETCH', classy, shiny and pretty. Till my next post.


XOXO
