My Lips Are Sealed...

We all know I love them Bold Beautiful Lips (BBL’s). I must say there are a few tips I use to keep the lip colour looking kissable and smudge free. I for one have somewhat of a defined lip line although sometimes I do notice feathering, streaking or fading in certain areas. I’ve come to learn that if I add a few dab's of foundation or concealor on my lips it sticks like glue and lasts longer. I use wax based lip liner at times to create more of a barrier from lipstick seeping through but not on a day to day basis when I am doing my 5 minute face, although you can use it. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how to make sure your lips look amazing!!! What you’ll need: Lip balm Foundation Lip liner Lipstick Instructions: 1. Chapped lips are not attractive with or without lipstick. So ladies please apply enough just to moisten and even your lips so you have a smooth surface to work on. 2. I use my finger and/or a wedge to dab on a small amount of the foundation using y...

Afrofusion – Afro Chic Une

I have an undying love for African prints... And if you know me well enough, I have lots of the African outfits that i have racked up in the last 7 years. I am always trying to create a show stopper look. I often play off modern and traditional pieces together, although on certain special occasions such as traditional weddings, I wear the African look from head to toe. It was last week Friday and I wanted something to go with my jeans that would look cute but not over the top. I decided to wear this African print top from Congo with my mango collection jeans (might I add they are super comfy). I decided to throw on my nine west shoes that complimented the green in my blouse and navy in my Zara tote.

This is my summer colour I bet everyone would agree... I love that it glides on smoothly and keeps my lips moist throughout. This was at my brothers graduation in September 2012.

Spotting Tootsie Happy Feet...

Odds are you're not taking good care of your feet on a regular, and yes there are times when I skip a few feet pampering sessions myself in the month. I must say I am fortunate to not have problematic feet. I’ve always made sure my nails look neat while I was growing up and used that food scrub as often as I could. It’s only after I was a young lady and living in the US that I got hooked to bi-weekly pedicures. I came to realise that monthly pedicures are simply not enough to keep them callous-free and soft, and I love me some soft feet and pretty toes. Here are a few simple tips I use on my foot care routine. I think of foot care just as I think of my hair – they both need to be washed: It must be done regularly. To be honest I have a thing about feet and hair and both just have to be clean. Just as one exfoliates the face and body, your feet are no different you need to at least do this three to four days per week. On my foot spa days I was always told to take just a few minute...

Natural Hair Oils I Love To Use...

Coconut Oil : Coconut oil is a very light product that helps in not weighing your hair down as it easily absorbs without clogging your scalp and as a result can be used daily on your hair and scalp. This product also contains Vitamin E which is great in supporting a healthy scalp. A lot of oils are good to use as a pre-shampoo treatment for a dry scalp, as well as a leave-in conditioner for damaged ends – Guess what Coconut Oil is one of them. I have also come to learn that it’s great to use as a moisturizer for skin and as a healthy alternative for cooking – I haven’t yet tried these last two options but will do so I bet in the future. Try it out and tell me how it worked for you. I usually use virgin coconut oil that I buy at Clicks Pharmacy. Argan Oil : I am obsessed with this oil. This exotic oil from Morocco does wonders for my hair – I have found the perfect hair oil. It hydrates my scalp, my hair strands glistening shine and it also helps in smoothing and controlling frizz.
