Sunday, 28 June 2015 2 Notes Natural hair journey update; hair troubles, new regime and everything in between + and my makeup inspiration

Am really sorry I have not put up a post about my hair in a whil, I must tell you guys I have been struggling a lot with my hair and I must say it hasnt being easy, so many times I feel tempted to relax it and get it over with, but here I am writing a post :).
First of all, I have a dandruff prone scalp and its very bad, with my hair being really full it has become increasingly hard for me to manage the dandruff situation. I have tried using lime and ginger, antiseptic mouth wash and alot of unconventional thing which didn't seem to be working beyond one week.
After much investigation, I decided to try out head and shoulders shampoo (I have never actually tried it! Its suprising I know! Lol!) I am also trying out vinoz shampoo and conditioner and I added Damatol to the mix for my scalp treatment. And to my surprise I have noticed a difference that is lasting.

Regime:

I happen to be a victim of dandruff infestation so co-washing is something I cannot attempt for now. That being said, my hair regime for now is pretty simple, I try to wash my hair weekly with the above products (head and shoulders shampoo and vinoz shampoo and conditioner). I air dry my hair as usual then moisturise with coconut oil, olive oil and African pride shea butter curling pudding. African pride shea butter is a new product I got a while back, I simply use it as a moisturiser. And that's basically all I. I do not twist out my hair anymore because I just cannot go through the stress of twisting my hair and I dont have the luxury of time for that, so I just section my hair into four parts, plait and tuck my end in.


Due to the excess braiding I have engaged in over the past 4 months, I suffered a huge amount of hair loss. So for this I have also adopted a deep conditioning treatment, which is a mixture of hair mayonnaise, conditioner (i use vinoz conditioner) and coconut oil which I apply to my hair after washing. I leave in the mixture for about 2 hours.
This is basically my regime for now, I plan to keep it this way for as long as possible. I am also trying to stay off braiding because it hasn't helped me much so far.

Sunday, 21 June 2015 3 Notes smokey but bright + L'Oréal HIP foundation review

The look I have on today is a just basically a simply a mixture of a glittery silver and black eyeshadow. Nothing too complicated. Just cute and pretty.




L'Oréal HIP Foundation review: I tried on the shades in Mocha and Terra and the out come was a flawless finish, it wasnt heavy on the face and had a very good coverage. Hopefully I can get all the shades and add them to my collection. I see myself using this foundation often.

Monday, 15 June 2015 2 Notes L'Oréal HIP foundation Haul



I am super excited as am writing this post because I have searched and searched everywhere for these foundation shades. I am guessing its sort of hard to come across because L'Oréal discontinued this particular foundation or something like that am not sure, but thats history because I was finally able to get my hands on them. These babies are so blendable and I love the way they turn out on the skin. I have been meaning to add a new product collection to my foundations and really satisfied at least for now.
I bought the shades Teak 818, Mocha 820, and Terra 824.



Where to buy: Gazelle beauty studio

Price : N2000 - N2500

Saturday, 6 June 2015 0 Notes A rose gold liner

Hey Everyone!
I am still trying out different colors of eyeliners. Even though at first it makes my eyes look weird, but the finished look always comes out FAB! For this look I tried out a rose gold liner and since I didnt have any gold liner I improvised with a gold eyeshadow.
