Cat Woman Inspired Makeup

Hello my darlings,

Hope you all are doing great.
I have decided to put up a post every Thursday. I would be having one post a week for now. I might increase it to two which would comprise of both make up looks and things about my hair, protective styles, things I want to try out, product reviews as well as hair styles. Awesome? Yes.

As a make up artiste, I think its important to be creative, thinking outside the box, doing something different from the everyday usual beauty make up. As a result of trying to explore my creative and going out of my comfort zone, I decided to create this look on sunday which is the cat woman inspired look.

It took me about one hour to create. Here are a few pictures






I look like a cute little kitty. Even my mom loved it.

Classic Makeup Lipstick: Review

Hello lovelies,

How are you all doing? I hope you all are having an amazing day and to my fellow OAU people, hope you all are enjoying the compulsory break.

This post is going to be a review on the Classic Makeup LS01 Purple Lipstick.
Please note that I wasn't told to do a review on this, I just want to do one.

Lets go down memory lane for a bit, I wont bored you (well I hope). I saw this picture of my neighbour Bolanle with one gorgeous dark lipstick and I asked her for the name. Bolanle that I know never remembers the name of anything she buys, I am tired of that girl. Anyways, luckily for me she remembered and told me it was a lipstick by Classic Makeup. I asked for the price range and I screamed and it became mission get your own.

I went to Balogun market to get hair and skin care products and there is a woman there that stocks elf products, tara as well as sleek and so many other make up brands and I decided to get there to ask.
I also wanted elf brushes so I got there and guess what she had the lipsticks.
I was so excited my entire body was tried so hard not to break some skelewu moves for the woman.


I apologize for the way it looks, didn't know I was going to do a review.
I got two lipsticks and one lipgloss.

I got the red lipstick, purple one and a dark lipgloss.

What I think.
This lipstick is AMA...ZINGGG!!!!!!. OMG.
It is so pigmented. It dries absolutely matte. I was not a fan of dark coloured lipsticks before I got this and I am absolutely in love with it.
The best part is I got it for just 200 naira. Ehn  o. Yes I can see you, your mouth open like wow.
Yes I felt the same way. Amazing right?

Have you used any Classic Makeup product or lipstick. Let me know.

Thank you and stay blessed.

Cleopatra Inspired Look

Hello lovelies,

I would first like to apologize for my absence. I am so sorry. I would try my best to make my posts more frequent.
My "wonderful" school is on strike thanks to the great Student Union, I am saying all these with all the sarcasm one can think of. I am tired of the school and really just want to graduate and move on with my life you know. Like get a great job, continue making people feel and look beautiful, find a good man like Ibukun Donald has (check out her posts @ibukun_donald) and bla bla...
Enough of my ranting jare.. I know I complain too much but then again what is the point of your fundamental human right to freedom of speech. lol.

I recreated a look a few weeks back. I was inspired by Laila who was the make up artiste for TEAM ELAN that won the Fayrouz L'original competition. They deserve it. Congratulations to them.
Here are some pictures.
List of products used will be listed below. I had a lot of fun recreating this look. I love the fact that it made me look like a fierce, sexy, if-you-come-near-me-I-can-injure-you kinda look.


 See how I look like one evil queen here. I love it. hehehehe
 
 
It was pretty easy to create. The look is a well defined cut crease with an exaggerated winged eye and also extended infront.

Thank you and stay blessed.

Mini Makeup Haul


Hello darlings,

The last post of the day. I promise.
I love make up. I cant help it. Once I have enough money to spare, I buy make up. The way to my heart, give me food, shoes and make up ;;)
Got a few things recently.
 House of Tara High Intensity Pigment - Margret Ekpo
 
 

L.A Girl Pro Concealers in Espresso, beautiful bronze and toffee.
Got them for 1200 each.
 
L.A Pride Matte Lipstick in Sweet Pink - N1000
 
A set of 4 brushes - blending brushes. Got them from my friend @slimmytychus on twitter. 4 of them for N3000.
 
The last brush is a contour brush - N3000.
 
House of Tara High Intensity Pigment - Margret Ekpo. I am obsessed with this palette. Kai. Doesn't it look gorgeous? The colours are soo pigmented and beautiful. Best part for me is that they all have a matte finish. Oh how I love matte eyeshadows.
Would create a look with it soon enough. Got the palette for N2800 (i am not sure) but its between (2500 and 2800)
 
 
Thank you for visiting my blog.
I really appreciate it.
 
Enjoy the rest of your week
 
Khasome.
 




Smokey Cat Eye and Mo Hawk


Hello darlings,

I am back. I apologize in advance but i intend to post atleast 3 posts today.
This post would be about my hair and my make up look. I rocked this look last week sunday to church.
I love looking good for my first Love: Jesus.
I created a Smokey cat eye using paper tap and black eyeshadow alone. I loved the results.
Here are some pictures.



 


The last picture is the entire look for the day, its edited.

Products used.
Face
Mary Kay Foundation - Bronze 600
Ailin Loose Powder - Bronze
Sleek Contour Kit in medium
Sleek blush in Scandalous
Davis No 18 brown pencil - brows

Eyes
House of Tara Eye primer
Two faced Eye primer
House of Tara Trio Eyeshadow Palette Feroshawa - Brown to transition
Paper tape
Black eyeshadow
Wet and Wild gel liner
Red Cherry lashes in #43 (I am in love with this lashes. too much)
NYX pencil in jet black
Maybelline mascara

Highlighting and Contouring
L.A Girl Pro Concealer - Fawn
L.A Girl Pro Concealer - Beautiful Bronze
Enchanteur translucent powder as an undereye setting powder.

Lips
Airwoman purple lipliner
NYX Soft Matte Lipcream - Tokyo.

The idea of the hair style was gotten from TheChicNatural's Youtube Channel. I visit her channel all the time, when I have data i.e. I washed and deep conditioned my hair before I got this done.
Showed my hair stylist the style and she did a pretty good job. Both sides were plaited and the middle was twisted and then straws were used to curl it. Left it that way for over 10 hours and that was the result after I removed the straws and loosen the twists.
It didn't last long because I didn't exactly know how to keep the curls without having to retwist. Carried this for one week and I just retwisted it once in that week.
You could check TheChicNatural's channel for the entire process. Ladies with relaxed her can also pull this off but I believe you will need something extra to get the curls.

I used just water, coconut oil and shea butter.
