Finally we have access to one of the best selling drugstore foundations in Ghana and this is none other than the Maybelline Superstay 24H Foundation. Yayyyyy!!!!! I remember seeing this foundation on shelves in Superdrug in the UK but the shade range didnt include that for dark skin. Fast forward to today, there are several shades suitable for dark skin in Ghana. How exciting!

The Ghana Makeup Awards started and ended up in grand style this weekend at the plush La Palm Beach Resort. This event brought together all the key players in the Ghana makeup industry. It was indeed a night full of glitz and glam. Find the pics below. (photo credit: Swag of Africa)

Yours truly

We made it guys!!!!!!! hurraaaaayyyyy!!!!! We grabbed the award for Best Beauty & Makeup Blog at the maiden edition of the Ghana Makeup Awards which took place at the La Palm Beach Hotel last Saturday. It was a night full of glitz and glam! When i say glam trust me, a room full of 80% makeup artists? What else is to be expected? It's interesting how we are always glamming up people but we ourselves rarely do. Thank you Makeup Ghana for giving makeup artists an opportunity to glam up!

This is one review i'm super excited to share with you all. Meet the Evita Joseph Deep Brush Cleanser. I can't stress enough the importance of washing your makeup brushes. I was having a chat with a friend the other day and through the conversation I learnt that she's had her makeup brushes for two years yet had never washed them. For personal use your brushes should at least  be washed weekly. Personally i like to always use clean brushes so i spot clean them after each use. For my professional kit, no two ways, brushes are cleaned after each use! Brushes can serve as a breeding site for bacteria or a means to transfer and contaminate your face and makeup items that constantly touch your face. This can lead to persistent acne that never seems to go away.

I happened to pass by the La Fiera Trade show last month only to get cupcakes from Tim and i ended up leaving with a bunch of hair goodies from Zabrinaturals. Zabrinaturals is a relatively new Ghanaian brand catering specifically to natural hair founded by Dr. Shirley, an optometrist. I didn't pay  much attention to them initially but after watching a review from +Miranisa Wallace-Ollennu of MsDirection i became intrigued so imagine my joy to have received them!

Hey loves,

Happy new month guys,
It's been a while and i hope everyone is doing well. I took a little break to re-evaluate and try to put things into perspective. I feel like over the last year or so things have changed in terms of what interests me and what direction i want this blog to head. So here I am to share with you a few changes that would be going on here.

Happy New Year Beauties,
