Hello Beauties, September happens to be Sickle Cell awareness month and also my birth month, yayyyy!!!! I noticed this tag going round on instagram and when i got tagged by the lovely +Aretha Yorke to participate in this challenge i thought why not? This challenge is basically to raise the awareness for sickle cell whiles sporting bold lips. This is a challenge right up in my alley; better (in my opinion) than pouring cold water over my body. I have decided to do this challenge weekly for the entire month of September. I normally never wear anything bold so why...

Hello beauties, i'm here bringing you my first comparison review, yayyyy!!!! I am excited to bring this review because both products are now accessible here in Ghana. Horrayyyyy!!!! I was browsing on instagram, follow me @beautiquegh_mua, when i happen to chance on the @ejbeautystore instagram page that they had in stock the ELF Poreless Face Primer. How excited I was because I had seen this new release from ELF on their website and I was curious to try it as I already use their mineral infused face primer which is a staple in my makeup kit. I immediately ordered one and had...

Hello Beauties, Earlier this year my dear friend, sister beauty blogger and MUA Evita of Evita Joseph Beauty launched Ghana's first ever premium online makeup store, www.ejbeautystore.com.

I quickly created my account which was super easy, btw, and went about clicking away and placing items in my shopping...

Hello beauties, so i'm here today with another beauty post sort of sharing with you my 2014 makeup wishlist. This was inspired by +Evita Joseph  who recently showed her updated wish list. I believe it's important to make a wishlist as it helps to properly save, budget and buy only whats necessary and prevent impulse buying thus saving you lots of money. This is my makeup wishlist for my kit and personal use which i have put into various categories. I know it will be nearly impossible to buy all the products on it for this year but i...

Hello Beauties, So from the title you can guess this is a haul post. I recently used up my trusty deep conditioner and needed to re-purchase and so off i went to Juben after close of work on a weekday. I love that i can get items there even after close of work as they close at 7pm and not at 5pm unlike most beauty supply stores. This beauty supply store is a beauty haven. I really love browsing through the aisles of this shop because they have a variety of items. *sighs* Okay back to the post!...

Hello everyone, *waving excitedly* yayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! 2014 is here with us and you know what it means to me? The perfect opportunity to start afresh! Most likely you may not have achieved all the the goals set for the previous year but if there is anything meaningful i learnt in the past year, it is not to give up. So yes, for me the new year means starting afresh, even if its the same goals as last years, it's important to set some. Anyways, so personally 2013 was an amazing year so i turned my love for makeup into...
