Hello Beauties,
I'm back again with yet another beauty product review. So sometime back i did a mini review on the MUA Undressed palette which is an exact dupe for the famous Urban Decay Naked palette. Click here to read the post. Unfortunately this product has been tagged "sold out due to high demand" on the MUA store and also on superdrug. Yes it's that good.



Thankfully MUA recently came out with a second palette called Undress Me Too. Haha! You guessed right. It's another great dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, spot on really. Honestly, i'm not one for spending 36 quid on just one product so i was very happy when MUA duped this palette. Click here to see a comparison review between the MUA Undress Me Too palette versus the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette.



So here is what i like about this palette:

• It's super affordable, gosh you can't go wrong with 4 quid, can you?
• It has a mixture of matte and shimmery shades which is a plus as i do not have to reach for another palette to blend with shimmery shades
• Mostly natural, neutral or nude colours which is a must have for makeup artists for wedding makeup
• The eye shadows are quite pigmented but as usual a base or primer will increase the pigmentation and longevity
• No to little fallout so no looking like a disco ball aferwards
• White packaging makes it easily distinguishable from other black palettes in my kit

This palette can be found in store at Superdrug or online on the www.muastore.co.uk. If you are in Ghana i have 2 of these palettes for sale. Leave me a message here if you are interested in picking up one.

Until next time,
Keep on being fab,

xoxo,
Annette

Hello Beauties,
I hope everyone's doing well. So the past weekend found me at the engagement of a dear friend, big sis and role model. I was privileged to have been the makeup artist for her special day. Look out for the pics on my facebook page, Beauty Emporium Gh. So i was clueless on how i wanted my hair to look but i knew definitely that i did not want to wear weaves or braids or any long term protective style. I took to instagram to find natural hair pics and trust instagram not to let down. I opted for this simply glam natural hairstyle.

Hello Lovelies,
So i get asked a lot about makeup for beginners. I recently purchased some items to try out and upon receiving them i thought a few will be great for beginners. So here are two products and my views on them

1. BH Cosmetics 120 Colour Eyeshadow Palette 2nd Edition
Now i got this palette for my personal kit for when i want to play and experiment with colours. I think getting a palette like this with a variety of colours is fun and economical meaning you dont have to splurge a lot of cash to buy different palettes to get all these colours. This palette has a mixture of shimmer, satin and matte shades so you cannot go wrong with it. The shades are fairly pigmented and the palette cost $16.00

So it just occurred to me that i didn't update you all on the Sankofa Meetup but only did on facebook. Oh well better late than never right? Anyways so the Sankofa Meetup held on the 22nd of June, 2013, and was organized by the Sheabutter Cottage to officially launch their natural hair and skin care product line in Ghana.
