Red and Fresh

Hey Gorgeous, 

Waking up to a wonderful Wednesday, what more can I say? Thankful! 

Check out this look I created earlier today I finally found another red lipstick this time it's a matte liquid lipstick so my Mac cosmetics ruby woo can rest or take a break. 

I used Colour pop ultra matte lipstick in "creeper" when you see this awesome red lip Colour you would be scared thinking it wouldn't suit a dark skin but I took a risk and I'm glad I did & yes it's a #Goodbuy as it lasts long on my lips without feathering + you need to Moisturize your lips before application. 

I forgot to clean off the powder that fell on my jacket 😂

Products I used; 

1️⃣ Clinique Moisturiser (oily skin)

2️⃣ Makeup Internatinal face primer 

3️⃣ Nars Foundation + Mac Matchaster + Black opal creme foundation 😂 (I like to try out different brands together & I love the finish of this look ) 

4️⃣ Mac Mineralsied Skin powder 

5️⃣ Pop of beauty black eyeliner 

6️⃣ Bmpro brown pencil + Itcosmetics brow pencil + La girl pencil in Medium Brown (awesome stuff Mehn) 

7️⃣ Model in a bottle brow sealer 

8️⃣ Inglot 77 gel liner 

9️⃣ Red cherry lashes 43 & Duo glue 

9️⃣ Coastal scents neutral eye shadows 

🔟 Mac paint pot 

🔢 Clinique bottom lash mascara 

🔢 Colourpop Ultramatte lipstick Creeper 

🔢 Ruby Kisses highlighter 

🔢 Mac raisin blush + la femme blush. 

Forgot to apply the matte finish spray 

Dax all!

Brown Smokey Look

Hey Gorgeous, 

It's the end of October 2015 & I'm grateful to be alive with Good health and a Joyful spirit. I just quickly want to share a look I created today that's got me feeling so excited because it's my first time creating a brown smokey eye 😍 and I love/loved the look. 

I got to the studio as usual preparing for a busy day, then a pretty and joyful lady walks into the studio for makeup & Gele service, check out the look below. 

Here's how I achieved the look; 

Moisturized  her face with Clinique moisturizer, Benefits pore perfecting fave primer, Mac Matchmaster Foundation In 8 mixed with Nars Luminous foundation in New Guinea, filled in her brows with La girl eyeliner pencil in Espresso. For her eyes I used ABH shadow countour palette in Fudge and the Colour above for her crease area then Hegai and Esther Brow definer on her eyelid for a brown base, applied taos cosmetics Savannah eyeshadow over that. 

Applied Stardel WSP lashes with duo glue, lined her eyes with Inglot 77 gel liner 

La girl concealer in fawn to highlight 

Zaron cosmetics uno eyeshadow in Mocha to lowlight 

Sacha butter cup powder to set the highlight Colour 

Applied la femme lightest pink blush 

For her Lips I decided to play with 3 different nude lipsticks ( MAC Velvet Teddy & Taupe then Colourpop ultra matte lipstick in Trap) 

I also discovered a new trick with applying highlighters or bronzer on the lip for a different shimmery lip look for their that doesn't like very matte lipsticks ( this will work perfectly). 

So I applied Ruby Kisses Bronzer 2 on her lips and cheek bone. 

The last step in this flawless process was to spray the Nyx Matte finish spray & Urban decay chill setting spray, Tied her Gele and Viola. 

I hope you enjoyed the makeup narration 

Let me know if this works better or should I just  list the products like I do in my previous posts?  

What do you think about this look? 

Special thanks to Lolade for trusting us to glam her up for her cousins wedding.

A Green Tale

Hey Gorgeous, 

While most of you are asleep, I'm here creating my first post in the month of October 2015. I don't wear makeup everyday just because of the Lagos sun, argh sunscreen wouldn't even help, I then start to get really pissed off by just anything because the heat wouldn't cooperate with my makeup and when I get home while taking my makeup off, I see fresh popped up pimples 😪🙄. Anyways enough of my early morning ranting, I created this look yesterday  when my friend Jane (of MUD) visited me at the YangaBeautyStudio, I didn't know what eyeshadow to put on and she chose a shimmery green Colour from the Urban Decay Electric Palette which I detested because I somehow don't like so much colors on my eyelids (I can wear any Colour on my lips "trustme" just not my eyes) it took a lot of convincing before I succumbed, I'm glad I did. 

didn't even use so much but I applied a darker shade of green on my lower lid 😂.

Review on the new Zaron Cosmetics Lip Stain 01 Brandy

Hello Gorgeous,

Wishing us all a successful week, So asides from the Zaron Matte Lipsticks, they also launched Lip stains which happens to be the latest beauty trend, i was privileged to receive four out of twelve shades of lip stain.
I will upload a swatch and looks of each shade in separate posts.



Zaron Cosmetics Matte Lip Stain 01 Brandy; This is a dark brown coffee shade, it reminds me of Lime crime's velvetines in salem. I like its consistency compared to that of salem and its longevity is pretty much insane, i had to wait for some seconds for the application to sit in before smacking my lips together for a creaseless look, because its a lip stain it appears wet and dries matte after some seconds.

The Zaron Lipstain comes in a gorgeous black silky hard plastic packaging with a see-through bottom, i love love the package.

Feeling myself 😂

The New Zaron Cosmetics Matte Lip Stains are available in 12 shades and are sold for N2,750 each, which is so affordable compared to other international brands, I can't wait to stop by their head office which is located at No 2 Kanike Close off Awolowo road Ikoyi, Lagos State.

This is definitely a Goodbuy for me.

What are your thoughts about this shade?

Review on the new Zaron Cosmetics Matte Lipstick 13 Denim

Hello Gorgeous,

And another one "in Biggie's voice" 

Zaron Matte Lipstick 13 Denim; I honestly do not own this shade of lipstick, Its a combination of Blue and Black and looks more like black in the picture but physically its a dark blue black shade. However, i have a mixed feeling about Denim as i had to apply and apply to get a better consistency, don't get me wrong i like the shade but it has a medium pigmentation. the great thing is that it looks good on me so i would definitely purchase this but wear it on days when i'm not in a hurry to an event but make sure you exfoliate your lips before applying this shade for a creaseless look.
I also love the fact that its lightweight.

Love the fact that Zaron decided to call this shade denim, the first thing that came to my mind even before I opened it was "okay this shade has to look like a dark jeans trouser" 😂😂😂. 

The matte Lipstick comes in a sleek smooth black container which is separated from the actual lipstick tube and you have to scroll the bottom base to apply the shade.

The New Zaron Cosmetics Matte Lipsticks are available in 14 shades and are sold for N2,500 each, which is so affordable compared to other international brands, I can't wait to stop by their head office which is located at No 2 Kanike Close off Awolowo road Ikoyi, Lagos State.

Review on the new Zaron Cosmetics Matte Lipstick 05 Sassy

Hello Gorgeous,

Here's another review on the new Zaron matte lipstick in another shade below, 

Zaron Matte Lipstick 05 Sassy; A beautiful, highly pigmented fuchsia pink shade which reminds me of M.A.C's Flat out Fabulous, i'm really not a pink person, so i was actually surprised how this shade looked lush on my skin tone, make sure you exfoliate your lips before applying this shade.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

The matte Lipstick comes in a sleek smooth black container which is separated from the actual lipstick tube and you have to scroll the bottom base to apply the shade.

I'm super excited about this shade especially because of my skin tone, it just blends and gave this look a nice pop. The New Zaron Cosmetics Matte Lipsticks are available in 14 shades and are sold for N2,500 each, which is so affordable compared to other international brands, I can't wait to stop by their head office which is located at No 2 Kanike Close off Awolowo road Ikoyi, Lagos State.

Review on the new Zaron Cosmetics Matte Lipstick 06 Butter Scotch

Hello Gorgeous,

I was super excited when Zaron Cosmetics sent their new collection of matte Lipstains and Lipsticks, i dedicated my whole friday testing and trying them on to show you how they look on my lips and swatched on my hand. I decided to create separate posts for each lipstick and lipstain so check others out after this post.

The matte Lipstick comes in a sleek smooth black container which is separated from the actual lipstick tube and you have to scroll the bottom base to apply the desired shade.

1) Zaron Matte Lipstick 06 ButterScotch; Its such an amazing shade of nude with a nice consistency which is also MATTE, you would have to apply a balm or exfoliate your lips so it glides on smoothly without wahala. yall know i love nude lipsticks, so this has to be a GOODBUY!!!!

I also like that it's not heavy on my lips like other matte lipsticks, I applied mine without a lipstick applicator and it looks good on me without the cracky look. 

Although I didn't put it on for so long because I had to wear other shades I got so I'm not sure about its longevity.

Check more pictures below;
