B´n D Makeover | Leather

Helluurrrrrr....

As some of you know, i battled a bad bout of conjuctivitis over the past few weeks. It was the longest 2 weeks of my life, and i was sooooo miserable! I wasn´t allowed to do makeup, all i did was sit around the house and mope or stare at my eyes with a small mirror in my hand. I went to google and scared the shit out of myself, and then i sat around and moped some more.

Dindu got it first and of course i had to get it too because i examined his eyes, and i can´t remember if i washed my hands or not. Only his left eye was affected and he seemed not to be bothered at all. Anyway, kids are resilient and he healed before me. Mine spread from the left eye to the right eye and i felt horrible all through.

I couldn´t do makeup because the eyes were really bad, and i didn´t want to get my products infected. So yesterday, i was finally able to plaaaaay!

My eyes are baaack!

I did a cut-cease look with gold glitter and paired with purple lips. Keep scrolling for product details..

PRODUCT REVIEW | Ajali Konjac Face Sponge

I have always wanted a soft sponge for my face because my body sponge is kinda hard and there's no way i'm scrubbing my face with it. So i've been washing my face with my facial soap and my bare hands while on the look-out for a suitable soft sponge.

So on Instagram, i came across a picture of this sponge by Ajali, and i knew it was the 'One'. My search was over! I placed my order and after a few days it was delivered to me along with two other products i ordered from their website.....but today, we are talking about the Konjac Face Sponge.

They have the Lavender, Ginger, Bamboo, Green tea & Original varieties of the Konjac Face sponge. I went for the Green tea variant because it suits my skin type best.

LAVENDER: Suitable for all skin types. This sponge is the perfect de-stress treatment after a long day. Also encourages cell regeneration.

GINGER : Combats irritations, inflammations and minimizes bacteria that causes acne. It contains natural skin brightening properties, and it's suitable for oily skin.

BAMBOO : Infused with activated charcoal and is perfect for oily and acne-prone skin.

GREEN TEA : Infused with natural green tea. It has added anti-oxidant benefits and is suitable for normal to combination skin types.

ORIGINAL : No added clays. Perfect for sensitive skin.

Let´s get into it right away!

For those of you still struggling with fixing your falsies, have you ever tried cutting them in half?

Tales of a Nigerian Mum.

Hello dears......

So I´ve started this new segment on the blog called ´Tales of a Nigerian Mum´. One of my blog readers pitched the idea to me, and i thought that it was really cool. Thanks again Chibugo. She has an interesting blog too....do check it out here.

This is a beauty blog, and i am a beauty blogger *I think we´ve established that fact*, but i´m also a mum and i love my kids to pieces, and most times, they do some stuffs that make me unable to keep calm and i just wanna ´Loud it´from the roof-top of a sky-scraper with a massive mega-phone!

Kids are a very interesting set of humans, and these ones i have at home are no exception. Everyday they either shock me, amaze me, annoy me or amuse the heck out of me. If you are on my Blackberry contact list, then you are not new to short writeups about my kids antics at home. But you can only type a few words on your blackberry status. Over here, i can ´broaden´the story *looool!*

If you don´t want me to ´bore´ you with such tales, then you don´t need to open the post whenever you see it.....just jump and pass. There will always be beauty-related posts on the blog as well.......ALWAYS,

Infact, there was supposed to be a new look on the blog today, but i have conjunctivitis, and my left eye is red, swollen, watery and achy. It should clear in a day or two and then i can work on the new look.

Thanks for your time....

Besos!

My Blog Signature ordeal

Hello beauties...


If you have been following my blog for a while, you would have noticed that at the end of every post, there is usually a blog signature. I remember when i added the signature to my blog.....i was still trying to build the blog, and i had to learn everything on the internet as i had no one to teach me *so all of you that i have been teaching about the basics of blogging for free, you berrer appreciate! Looool!*. I remember the struggle i went through the day i added the signature to my blog posts. It took me 4 long hours to figure it out because i´m somewhat of a perfectionist, and because as you all know, google has sooo many teachers.....some just successfully confused me *loool!*. Eventually, i figured out a shorter way to do it which doesn´t even take up to 20 minutes, as long as you have fast internet.

Now, for some time, the signature stopped appearing at the bottom of my posts and i didn´t know why. And since its been about 3 years ago that i went through the ´signature ordeal´, i had totally forgotten how i attached the signature to my blog. So yesterday, i finally braced myself to figure it out all over again!

I asked google, and as usual there were so many confusing answers with equally confusing links. I opened one or two links and was finally prepared to shut down the laptop and go to bed without achieving my aim.....

Then suddenly, i remembered!

In 2013, after i attached the old signature to my blog, another blogger mailed me telling me that she really liked it, and that i should please teach her how to do it. By that time, i had figured out the shorter and easier way, and so i sent her a detailed email explaining the steps in clear terms.

I remembered that email and i ransacked my ´Sent folder´looking for it. Finally, there it was! With that detailed email, i was able to restore my blog signature within 20-30 minutes. I even tweaked it a little bit by adding butterflies *loooool!*.

And that´s how an email i wholeheartedly sent to my fellow blogger some years back saved me a lot of time and stress, because if i hadn´t taught her willingly, i would have had to figure the whole thing out over again! *shudders*. How was i to know that the email was actually for myself.....for future use!

So, if you happened to visit my blog last night and you saw posts with titles like "Testing", "Still testing", "Ok bye", this post is an explanation for what was going on. *Lmaooo!*.

Ok dears, i have to go take them for their swimming lessons *By the way, a darling blog reader suggested that i should post occasionally about ´Life as a Nigerian Mum´. That is definately going to happen....Thanks Chibugo!*.


Besos darls!
