All Time Fav: Sleek MakeUp's "Sahara" Blush

I go through phases with everything I own, one minute they are hot and next I don't even remember they exist but this blush right here *in my best Tamar Braxton voice* is my all time absolute favourite. I can wear this blush with any look for any occasion.

Sahara is a mid-tone orangey-brown matte blush with flecks of shimmer (does that make sense). It gives a warm glow with a natural finish - like I have nothing on.

As you can see, mine has seen better days; I've had this for over a year now and I haven't even hit pan and that's because It comes with a whooping 8g of product and retails for £4.49 (definitely wasn't that much when I got mine...blame recession).

I think this is definitely a must have esp for women of colour..try it and let me know what you think.

A Twist on Tradition

Hey Lovelies!!! How are you beauties doing? 

Saturday was a very hectic but fun filled day for everyone involved, my cousin got married and we partied like it was 1999...hehe. My day started at 4:30am as I had to get ready and  make my way to Essex before 9am to beautify the bride for her big day and thanks to milk of magnesia and Porefessional, my makeup stayed put for the whole day (15 hours to be exact).

My dress was designed by the talented Asake of Asakeoge and I absolutely love it. It is super fitted and well made, granted I couldn't move or sit down or eat much (which is a plus I guess) but it was everything I wanted the dress to be. If you haven't heard of Asakeoge before then check her out here and here.

Dress: custom made by Asakeoge

Shoes: Asos

Bag & Bangle: H&M

Watch & ring: Asos

Earrings: DIY by me

Lipstick: Sleek's Mystic

PS: stop calling me when am trying to blog....who know who you are lol

Red Cherry Lashes

Hey Lovely people!!! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend? 

Decided to do a quick post while watching the Wimbledon Final between Murray & Federer on my recent Red cherry Lashes  purchase. I got these from an eBay seller called Joy's Cosmetics, who sells a host of brands that are not easily accessible here in the UK at very reasonable prices. 

I purchased these 6 lashes for £6.61 including £5.09 for p&p which makes these extremely cheap and affordable. They are made from 100%  human hair, great quality and definitely re-usable. The bands are very thin with some being invisible which makes them very easy to apply and blend with your natural lashes.  

I will definitely recommend you to check out Joy's Cosmetics, am pretty sure you'll fall in love with it too.

Have a great Sunday Lovelies...
