Make up inflencers to follow on snapchat

If you are like me that loves to spend hours watching beauty experts and artists do their thing on the internet and youtube you will definitely love their snaps more. You get to know them more, get to know products they use in a more detailed manner, get to see their pets, see them without makeup ( they all have beautiful skin) get the first scoop on makeup looks going up on their youtube channel and personal site. The list of what you get to see is not exhaustive. My top 10 in no particular is 1.  Makeup Shayla:  Shayla is known for her perfect highlight, contour, slick laid edges and curvy body. She is a very fun person to follow on snapchat. Her #shaylataughtme sessions are very helpful. If you don't know what that is, it is basically her teaching ladies different tips for picture poses. She has a very active lifestyle. Her work out snaps serve as a form of motivation for me to hit the gym on my laziest day. Finally, she has the cutest french bulldog ...

Beauty uses of cotton buds

Q-tips or cotton buds can no longer be subjected to cleaning the ears because it has over 10 make up uses. To get thicker lashes. If your lashes are scanty and you want them to be fuller, start by applying a coat of mascara then use a q-tip to apply some baby powder to the eyelashes. To finish seal it up with another coat of mascara to get full lashes. To adjust make-up to your preference or correct a mistake. The key is not to use it dry or to wet it with saliva or water. It works perfectly when you wrap a fast cleansing make up wipe around it to make it moist, remove the wipe and adjust your make up error as you please with the Q-tip. This can be used for reducing concealer around the brows, cleaning up mascara mistakes, correcting or adjusting eyeliner and eyeshadow. To curl your lashes. If you don't have a lash curler, you can use a q-tip to push your lashes in place. First, you apply two coats of mascara, then use the pressure of the middle of the q-tip to apply pr...

Indian straight hair review (new star guangzhou on aliexpress)

My honest review and first impression of my Indian Straight hair from aliexpress (new star guangzhou).

Don't loosen it , revamp it.

Hi lovelies, So I have been on twists for about 2 months and some weeks now. Wow, that is the longest I have ever had the same style on. Anyways, it is still lovely. No itching, no funny odor and most importantly no loss of front hair. I decided to take out my hair this weekend but the more I loosened each twist the nicer it got. I then decided to transform it into a crochet kind of braid. Well it is absolutely gorgeous. I used Aussie sprunch mousse and leave-in conditioner (flexible hold) to moisturize and keep it in place. A mixture of hair conditioner and mouse would do the same trick. The color mixture, the kinky extensions just makes it look so pretty, funky and sassy. It makes me feel so beautiful, confident and comfortable. People just stare at me all day thanks to my "unconventional hairdo". I have gotten loads of compliment and awkward stares. I won't lie, I love the attention.  So the sad thing is I have to take it out this week to do somethin...

ShopMissA review : Beauty $1 store

Hey lovelies, you all know how am an online shopping addict. Am sorry, I can't help myself. The good news is am a wise spender. *Shines teeth. I know this because anytime I shop and am about to check out, I screen my cart and remove all the things I really don't need just to stay on a budget. It really helps. Before I moved to Denver, I did not shop for my move. When I got here I realized I didn't have enough jewelry and stuff. Luckily I ran across ShopMissA.com and I decided to do some jewelry shopping. It was irresistible cause everything was a dollar. I bought quite a number of jewelry but I would share my best ones with you. Get ready to drool. I love these rings, it came in a pack together and I decided to wear them together. I mean no need to separate them. They are absolutely gorgeous. I love the earth tone color on two of the rings. It is so beautiful. I fell in love with this earring set when I saw the pictures on the site. They looked so adorable. I t...

New found love: how I eat my Shin Ramyun

Hey lovelies, I am in love with a gourmet spicy noodle called Shin Ramyum noodle soup. Since I moved  to Denver, I miss my regular Indomie noodles that couldn't travel with me. I thought all hope was lost until I ran into my newly found love. It has 250 calories per pack, absolutely no cholesterol, no Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and no trans fat. It is enriched with proteins, dietary fiber, iron, sodium and little carbohydrate. As a typical yoruba girl, I am expected to like very peppery and spicy foods, but pepper isn't really my thing. This noodles is perfect for my tongue because its not peppery but very spicy. The way I make this noodles is slightly different from how I make my regular Indomie noodles. I prefer to cook it on a hot surface rather than a microwave. Step 1: Boil 550ml of water (2 medium cups) in a pot till it reaches its boiling point (100 degrees celsius) Step 2: Add noodles to boiling water( you can decide to break in into tiny pieces or leave it long...

My experience at Gasparilla 2015!!

So I decided to go for one of the best festival this weekend and it was awesome. It is the only festival that allows drinking on the road (some wet zones), lots of shouting, lots of beads thrown by pirates. It was so much fun. Lots of jaw dropping dressed girls ( shorts were bum exposing) and I ran into this Harley Davidson bike.... AWESOME!!! I almost got on it, but I didn't. So basically Gasparilla is a pirate festival that celebrates Jose Gapar who was a mythical Spanish pirate captain that operated in Southwest FL. Everyone in Tampa is really friendly, lots of dudes with beards, I love. I met one dude that asked if we spoke english in Nigeria, I was dumb founded. He was from Maine, I guess he doesn't go out much. The food wasn't so good, I mean it was a terrible imitation of my precious Jollof rice. Hunger was real so I had to eat it all. I took pictures of a lot of people and random things too. I got a total of 17 beads, some people has close to 50 beads r...
