Product review: Labelle So Lush shadows

Labelle So Lush eyeshadow palette as the name signifies, is lush, luxurious and high pigment eye shadows for both day and night. This palette has 14 shades of both matte and shimmer eyes shadows. The texture is powdery, soft and extremely easy to apply. This is the first shimmer eyeshadow that I have used that didn’t fall on my face. The colors last the whole day and are so pretty, I took them for a spin.

I complemented the eyeshadow with Labelle Nude Liquid lipstick

I had so much fun wearing this eyeshadow that I took loads of pictures.

Night Time Blues

Hi guys,

When it comes to creating a night look, my go-to color is midnight blue and I particularly love 17 Wild Midnight Blue cream shimmer eye shadow. So when a social event came up over the weekend, I naturally reached out for this product. I had two different events, to which I managed to create two different but similar look with the same product.

For either makeup, I used:
No. 7 Shine Free primer
Bronze Goddess moisturizer
Black Opal flawless perfecting concealer
Maybelline dream matte mousse ‘Cocoa’
Fair & White Pressed powder
Flori Roberts bronzer
Zaron blush
17 Va va voom mascara
Ben Nye finishing spray

First look:

I wanted a misty look for a late night out so for this look, I didn’t use any powder.

After cleansing & moisturizing, I used No. 7 Shine free primer after which I used Black Opal flawless perfecting concealer under my eyes. I used my finger to blend and followed with Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation which I applied all over my face with foundation wedge. Once done, I lightly dusted Flori Roberts Bronzing Powder for a sheer, glowing finish.

For the eyes, 17 Wild Midnight Blue shimmer cream eye shadow came handy

This look is super easy to create. I applied the shimmer cream eyeshadow all over my eye lids with my finger tips. And then I dabbed my contour brush in similar midnight blue matte powder eyeshadow which I used for contouring. I finished off with silver shimmer eyeshadow for highlighting the brow bone

I followed this by applying liquid eye liner and 17 Va va voom mascara followed by blush and Mary Kay Cream & Sugar lip gloss for a natural sheer and softer finish. I finished this look with Ben Nye finishing spray for an all night long stay.

Second look:

For this look, I played with different shades of blue. I started off with silver blue shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eye and used 17 Wild Midnight Blue shimmer cream eyeshadow to cover the rest of the eye lid. For contouring, I used black matte eyeshadow this time around and used shimmer sky blue eyeshadow to highlight the brow bone. To line the eyes, I used Fair & White black eye pencil which is soft but not too creamy or smudgy. 17 Va va voom mascara created the needed volume.
On the lips, I used Flori Roberts Jazz Orange lip stick.

Blues are great for night time when you don’t want to use black eyeshadow and makes a great alternative.

Cheers!

My Anti – Valentine makeup

Not everyone cares about Valentine’s Day celebration; all the romance and cliches can be boring for some. Good news though, this year’s Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday! So, even though you hate the celebration, what stops you from hitting the club and partying your way into the weekend, right? And what better way to kick-start that than by wearing the right makeup?

So, for this look, I ditched the romantic flair of valentine makeup and went for something strong, dramatic and a look that says ”don’t mess with me”. I love strong women so naturally, this makeup is strong and powerful for the strong woman.

For this look, I used:

Mary Kay concealer bronze 1

Maybelline dream matte mouse Cocoa

Flori Roberts pressed powder

Zaron blush

Mary Kay berry kiss lipstick worn over Zaron brick chick lip liner

And on the eyes, shadows from my palette and 17 cream shimmer blue eye shadow.

Here I am looking pissed about the Valentine..

Makeup collage from the Bisquit cognac product launch

Hi guys,

How you doing? Looking and feeling beautiful, I bet. This month has been quiet busy for me; I am currently working on an ambitious project and in the midst of this, I was contracted to makeup four hostesses at the Bisquit cognac product launch which took place more than a week ago in Lagos, Nigeria here. Being a French company, the makeup started simple and natural but as the days went on, I was allowed to add a bit of drama to the eye makeup. I honestly love French makeup because it is natural and how I love the signature red lips. I had a fun time at the product launch so am happy to share the picture collage with you. But you can view individual pictures by visiting the makeup gallery gallery.
