Are The Portable Selfie Led Ring Light Worth The Hype?

Image
Hey beauties, Hope you all are doing great. What are your plans for the weekend? The importance of lighting in photography and videography can never be overemphasized. In the makeup world now everyone has come to the consciousness that even though your makeup is on point, if your lighting is bad it won't come out great in pictures. Everyone knows that natural day light is the cheapest and the best form of lightning for makeup photos and videos . All you need do is to be in front of a window. But unfortunately some houses like mine because of the design of the building very little amount of natural light enters my house especially my room. So I needed an alternative and i started to research on lighting for makeup photos and videos. I came across several videos on YouTube about ring lights, soft boxes, and the one that immediately caught my attention was the portable Selfie Led Ring Light. I knew this would be better for me at the moment, pending when I can get a proper r

Enchanteur Perfumed Body Lotion, Moisture Silk, Aloe Vera and Olive Butter Review.

Hello Beauties!                        How are you all doing? Two months ago, i was looking for a body lotion with mild ingredient without lightening agent at all. Lately in Nigeria most cosmetic stores love to stock their store with lightening and toning lotions probably because that's what people buy. I don't have anything against anyone using a lightening cream or toning cream, infact i do too because being light skinned in Nigeria the struggle with hyperpigmentation is real, my skin easily tans under the sun especially my face. I came across the Enchanteur Perfumed Body lotion two months ago it claimed to be non greasy, specially enriched with Aloe Vera and Olive Butter to give the skin optimal moisturization and nourishment. Apply daily for beautifully soft, silky smooth skin. I immediately bought the lotion and was so excited to use it. What I love about this lotion is, true to it's claim, it is non- greasy, it has a very romantic and seducti

In my previous review about Zaron i expressed my love for this brand which led me to buy their concealer. How it looks  My shade is Az10 What i love about the concealer 1. It is very light weight. 2. It is very bright so it does the job of highlighting perfectly. 3. Blends easily with a beauty blender and brush giving a very smooth finish. 4. It is matte so you might need to work quickly. 5. The price is awesome I got it for 1500 naira at their store in shopright Abuja. 6. It has a scent which i don't mind. 7. The applicator wand is thin and easy to use under the eye.    Beauties this Concealer needs to be in your kit it is a game changer. You can purchase this concealer from their stores Nationwide or from any trusted distributor.                               Cheers! Fa

Classic Makeup USA Eyeshadow pallette Review

Image
Hey beauties,                         Am back again with another review. This time my review will be on the classic makeup USA eyeshadow pallette. I got this pallette sometime in early 2018 when i enrolled for makeup training as a beginner because it was cheap. I didn't really know too many eyeshadow brands just starting out so for me then it was perfect. How it looks,  Pls I know the pallete doesn't look neat and new because i have had it since 2018 and i want this review to be honest and real. Price: 1800 naira From the pictures above you can see it comes in an all black packaging. The only turn off i have for the packaging is the front of the pallete, it has a rubber feel and it stains easily. The shades are vibrant and beautiful. It swatches well with or without primer as shown in the picture above. Some of the shades though were hard to swatch because they were very hard or dry. On the eye it cannot be used alone so you need a primer to get a

Hey beauties,        I trust you all are doing good. Today i would be writing about what a lot of people ask me whenever i say my package just arrived from Aliexpress. Two frequent questions i am mostly asked are: 1. How trust worthy is Aliexpress? 2. Do i always get what i ordered exactly as described? So i decided to write about shopping on Aliexpress. The first thing to do is to go on google and search for the Aliexpress website or you can download the app on your phone from google play store or app store if you are an iPhone user. The app is easy and simple to use and records of your activities on the site can be easy accessed by you. Then you would be asked to creat an account either with your email or Facebook. Do remember to choose Nigeria as your country of residence this is very important to view the prices in naira then you can enjoy everything that aliexpress has to offer, the mobile interface would look like this   In the picture above you can see categories
