Skin Talk With Dee

Hey Beauties, Today, i decided to write about some of the Classic Makeup USA products i recently tried and fell in love with. Classic makeup brand is one of the drugstore brands in Nigeria, they have some cool products especially if you want makeup on a budget. This post is not sponsored but i feel everyone should know this information. Classic makeup face contour kit So, the first product i tried recently is the Classic makeup face contour kit. It comes in a black cardboard back cover with their company name in gold and product name and description written in white. The face definer itself also comes in a black packaging with face definer written on it. Inside the face definer you get a contour powder, a bronzer/highlighter and setting powder. It comes in different shades from light, to medium and dark. The contour powder is pigmented so a little goes a long way. The bronzer / highlighter is fantastic and smooth. The setting powder is bright and smooth. So if you want a...

Hey beauties! Welcome back to to my blog hope you are enjoying the weekend? Today's review is on the La pride Diamond Eyeshadow Palette. Let's go, La Pride 12  color Diamond Eyeshadow Palette Packaging: The pack of the eyeshadow palette is made up of black cardboard paper with an infusion of brown. The palette itself is made up of the same black cardboard paper but is thicker than the pack. Both the palette and the pack has the brand name inscribed all over in brown and white. The palette has no mirror. I generally like their packing because it simple and classy. A look i created using the palette  The shadows: the palette consist of 12 eyeshadows in total. The shadows have no shade names. It is a very vibrant eyeshadow palette with some shades having a mix of two colors. A picture of the shades swatched is below. My thought's 1, The shadows are very pigmented and blends smoothly and easily. 2, The quantity of each shadow in the pale...

Hey beauties! Today's post is about hair. Every black woman with type 4c hair understands the struggle to find a good gel or edge control to lay down their edges or do a sleek down pony tail. Girl!!! I understand. I struggled to find a good gel or edge control for my hair. My 4c hair is very coarse so most gels don't work well with my hair type. It's just like me applying water on my hair whether my hair is relaxed or natural although some tried but lasted for only an hour before my hair would start to curl up again. One day, on YouTube i saw someone use the gorilla snot gel to lay down her edges, she had coarse type 4c natural hair too and it layed down her edges and lasted for 2days. I was immediately interested in trying out the gel. My hair now is relaxed. I have used the gel to do a sleek down hairstyle, to lay my edges, my sister's edges and my mum's too and my mum’s hair is natural. It held well am so glad that at last i have finally found a ...

Hey Beauties, How are you all doing? It’s being a while that i posted anything here and am so sorry. I have been occupied with so many activities lately. But, am happy to be back. Today’s post is on the Dodo white up beauty lightening lotion. The first time i came across this lotion was in 2017. It was just newly introduced to the Nigerian market. My initial plan was to buy the Clinic Clear lotion because i just returned from a field exercise then at my final year in the university.  I was experiencing hyperpigmentation due to too much exposure to the sun. I wanted something to even out my skin fast. A friend recommended clinic clear body lotion to me and i saw someone else that i knew use it. so, I went to the market to get the lotion. On reaching the cosmetic store I normally buy my lotion, they didn’t have i, instead the store owner introduced me to Dodo white up lotion. He also showed me the soap. He said i could use either of them for a better result. Hmmm.......

Hey Beauties, How are you all enjoying the month of May? Hope you all are doing great? I went to a cosmetic store in Kaduna to get a face definer. I had two brands in mind to get. The sales lady at the store said forget those definers you had in mind to buy try the Zikel face definer, I was like Zikel which brand is that? I have never heard of it. She said it's a new brand owned by a Nigerian trust me i was already interested this was around December 2017. I am always happy whenever i see Nigerians producing our own beauty products because we understand our skin, our climate and our overall needs better. It is easier to find your shade of foundation in a Nigerian owned brand. I used the Zikel face definer here Enough of the too much talk. So I bought the foundation for 2500 which is not bad at all. I got it in the shade beautiful bronze. The packaging comes in all black with the brand name written in red, it is a 3 in 1 face definer. It comes with a bronze...

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...

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 ...
