Tips On How To Grow As A Makeup Artist And Beauty Influencer || My 5 Year Experience

As at September this year, I turned 5 years old as a professional makeup artist. I can not even believe all this time has passed, time has flown by. Over time, I have definitely grown as an artist, business owner and creator so I will be sharing a few tips to help makeup artists and enthusiasts in their journey.

Charcoal for skincare || Beauty Formulas Activated Charcoal Scrub Review

I have totally been into skincare lately. I'm going to be reviewing a charcoal scrub today and it's really affordable so that's cool. Activated charcoal has been a recent skincare rave and it is fantastic at drawing out impurities and unclogging pores.

Maintaining Protein-Moisture Balance in My Hair || Profectiv MegaGrowth Daily Leave-in Strengthener Review

Growing up, whenever I complained that my hair was dry, someone would say “oil your hair”. That analogy makes no sense because when you are thirsty, you don’t drink oil right? You drink water. So when hair feels dry, it needs moisture; that’s why a leave in conditioner that provides moisture is essential for healthy longer hair. It's even more awesome when it balances moisture and protein.

Why You Need to add Konjac to Your Skincare Routine || Benefits of Konjac

Personally, I think Asians are the skincare gods. That continent is so diverse and each unique culture has blessed the world with great natural skincare products and remedies from the Indians and their turmeric to the Japanese and their konjac. Wait, you didn’t know about Konjac? Let me gist you.

Perfect Nude Lipsticks for Women of Color

Every makeup lover should have one nude lipstick…or more than fifteen, its fine, I don’t judge ya sis. However it is not so easy to find the perfect nude for the medium and darker melanin queens. This is why I went through my collection to find the perfect nude lipsticks for my women of colour, most of which you don’t even need a lipliner for, yay.

Medical remedy for dandruff? || Sebamed Anti-dandruff Shampoo Review

Hey there! Did you know that stress can trigger or increase a person's dandruff? Well, I would know because I have been battling dandruff for years and stress definitely makes mine worse. I am always on the hunt for a remedy and I found the Sebamed anti-dandruff shampoo.

A failed braid out on my kinky natural hair

You should know, I barely ever style my natural hair. Why? Because it never adheres to the rules. Curling custards barely ever curl it, gels need the grace of God to lay it down and it defies gravity by standing up straight most times. This is why I have embraced the pineapple/high puff as my go-to hairstyle. But one day I decided to do a braid out so I can flaunt my styled mane on the gram. Who sent me?

Now that we are 3...

The first of August is always exciting for Patsy and I because it means we have completed another year of sharing our love and views on beauty, faith and life with the world.

Most of our views come from Nigeria but we also have a big following in the USA, UK and even Russia. We are so grateful for every single click we get and every comment posted.

But what's our story?

My journey to self love: dealing with self hate (part 2)

I have taken long to write the part 2 to this post because I honestly didn't know what to write. I have been trying to pick and choose the right words to use but I don't have them. So I am just going to be as honest as I was in my last post and hopefully, it all makes sense at the end.

This post will be showing how I unlearned how to hate myself.

My journey to self love: dealing with self hate (Intermission)

My journey to self love: dealing with self hate (part 1)

Some days ago, I saw a post where a blogger wrote about her "flaws" that she has learned to love. That inspired me to want to do a similar post from a different angle. Today, I will be talking about how society taught me to hate myself.
