Believe it or not but I find it very uncomfortable to talk about myself!! But I felt it necessary to write this post and share 29 Random Facts about me since I turned 29 this month and it’s the last day of my birthday month!!! Here goes…
I honestly can’t believe that I am a whole 29 years old! It seems so surreal! 30 is around the corner and I am no where near where I thought I would be when I turn 30. This thought used to terrify me I would literally get mini panic attacks when I think about it but I have learned so many lessons! I might not be there in terms of earthly stuff but I am so blessed because mentally, emotionally and spiritually, I am way beyond my years. My 28th year stood out to me the most. I have always had some wisdom but it was in knowledge. During my 28th year, I learned and gained the strength to put it all into practice! The biggest gift I have received, a gift that I like to think of as a birthday gift in advance is contentment. In the face of the storm that is life, I always manage to find happiness and let me tell you there is nothing better than that.
My Curls are popping! Yes they are
It’s hair review time ladies and gentlemen! I have been using The Curl Company products as introduced on this post for quite some time now and I am finally ready to give you guys a review! Please check out this post for details about the products. I am going to dive straight into the review
We all need a little MAC in our lives.
I have always wanted to have MAC products! As it is I still have a list of products that I want to get my hands on from MAC. It is one of my favourite high end products without a doubt! Granted, it is purely a result of peer pressure. Many of my friends use MAC and I have seen some beauty bloggers try some products and they always look so amazing especially their Studio Fix Fluid Foundation.
There is nothing more thrilling than realizing that you can use some makeup products for other purposes. Feels like such a steal! Thrilling!
I challenged myself to try and create a gorgeous makeup look using only 5 products. Well, excluding brows because honestly those have a life of their own. So this challenge includes Face, Eyes, highlight and contour, lips, etc.
If you watched video on my YouTube channel last week, you already have all the tea. I am basically bored with my hair journey. I feel so bound by fear of experimenting and it has reached a point where I find this whole journey redundant. Don’t get me wrong, I love my hair and I love being natural but, I want to enjoy my hair too. I want to reap the rewards of this hard journey so I decided to switch it up and experiment with my hair responsibly! Starting with blow drying my hair using the tension method.
Slaying doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive. For as long as you know which product to use and how, you can slay using drugstore make up. I decided to do this dramatic black Smokey eye and Glossy red lip using only drugstore affordable make up so that I can give you some ideas what to use, how and where you can get the products! Let’s get straight into it…
Picking out the perfect foundation can be quite a daunting task at first. I remember the very first time I went to go buy my first foundation. It was 2009 and the modelling agency I was signed to (We will talk about this some other time LOL) advised that I needed a photo ready foundation I can’t quite remember why. Anyway, I went and I picked out thee famous Caramel shade in the Revlon Photo Ready Foundation. Honestly speaking I don’t remember how it turned out but the point I am trying to drive home is that I didn’t know that you needed your exact match. Fast forward to 2016 when I got back into the make up scene, I was better equipped with knowledge of foundation shades and the need for the foundation to match my skin tone. It gets easier as you get to know your skin tone and undertones.
