Style Crushing....

Lol if that is even a word. For a longtime now I've been inhibiting my love for fashion and style and all that kind of stuff. I honestly think everyone has their own individual style and style is a form of self-expression.....
  Anyways My big style crush is Shirley Beniang. She is such an amazing and talented person. A blogger , Make-up artiste, video blogger and a mathematician. I'm too sure she is much more.




Even in jeans and white tee she always kills it


 Corporate!!!!!! Nobody can say no to that.....

She can make anything look good . I'm literarily obsessed lol 
and the white and black thingy is awesome.....     






you just have to visit her website- http://www.shirleyswardrobe.com and her youtube page https://www.youtube.com/user/shirleybeniang and her instagram page-

Why I love M.A.C Lipsticks

    I'm sure you are wondering why i'm posting this or what your business is with my love for M.A.C lipsticks but i'm literally trying to  convert you into a M.A.C lover. So I decided to put together a very little collection of a selected number of M.A.C lipsticks. A lot of people have complains about the price but from experience i've learnt not to ever put price over quality. Trust me I used to have a lot of funny lipsticks that I used to buy cuz it was cheap and the day i tried M.A.C i just took my mind of the other ones immediately. My first M.A.C lipstick i bot was the russian red and that was in 2012 and its not close to finished thats to show you how long it lasts. 

1. Cream cup
A lot of dark skinned girls always come up to me and ask me the kind of lipstick to buy and I always refer them to 'cream cup' its too amazing trust me. I literally tricked my sister into giving me this lipstick,  I used it all the time.  Even though this lipstick scored 4.3 over 5 in makeupalley.com a lot of people still complain about the application. The lipstick is quite tricky as sometimes it could look nude and it could look pink it just depends on the application. If you are a learner as regards makeup like me, i'll advice you use a light brown lip liner i.e M.A.C's CORK 



2. CYBER
I'm personally a big fan of this lipstick as i'm really into the purple color. Cyber is for the BOLD and it looks pretty amazing. It has this gothic feel that everybody is embracing but its not black. Its ofcourse one of my favourite colors and it has been really receptible as the demand is very high.



3. 'Girl About Town'
   One thing I love most about this lipstick is that it blends well with other lipsticks. If you are after a particular shade of pink, you don't have to buy another one you could just mix it with another lipstick that you have and you are good to go. It is an amplified creme. From the ratings more than 88% of people would buy this lipstick again and it has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 so you are in good hands. Application can be tricky.






4. Up the Amp
   PURPLE!!!!!!! M.A.C  has a way of making you over spend or buy impusely. Their purple comes in so many awesome shades which makes it hard to choose from. Of all the colors my all-time favourite is this one. Trust no matter your skin color, you can never go wrong with this one the feel on the lips is so amazing, trust me a lot of girls and guys can attest to that. Its too beautiful. It scores as high as 4.7 out of 5.




 


5. Velvet Teddy
    Nowadays a lot of people are embracing the calmer side of life. Like the nudes, light pink, light browns, peach, corals e.t.c and it is very convenient. If you are looking towards achieving a smokey eye make up and you do not want to be looking all kinds of scary, this lipstick will finish up your make up nicely and ofcourse no regrets whatsoever. It works with any form of eye makeup




6. Pink Nouveau
Light pink.....I mean whats not to love about it. This lippie is a satin lip stick and it is very gloss friendly. I usually advice dark skinned girls to go for this instead of the candy yum yum.


7. Candy Yum Yum
This is the matte version of the pink nouveau and its the barbie-pink kind of lipstick. Even when you visit the M.A.C outlets you would be advised to get the M.A.C's MAGNETA lip liner. It is not to chop your money its for your own good cuz this lipstick is not the easiest as regards application but when you got it , you just know and i strongly advice you moisturize your lips atleast 2 to 3 minutes before applying or else your lips will break and thats never cute.




8. Rebel
I personally choose not to say any further as the lipstick speaks for itself..yep its that major....


9. Burgurndy
This must have burdurndy rose color is perfect for confused people like myself. Sometimes you could be tired of the red lipstick and you just want something different but you dont know what that is and other times you want something in between gothic and classy. Then look no further this lipstick will sort you out.





10. So Chaud
Orange!!!!! you have to break out from the norm once or twice or thrice. A lot of people are embracing this color. Apart from the celebrities abroad our nigerian celebrities like Genevieve Nnaji, Sika Osei, Eku Edewor have opened up to this color so you are safe, light skinned or dark-skinned. You may want to be careful when applying it cuz it is matte.



 11. Haute Altitude
   Amplified Creme. It cannot get any better. This lipstick apart from ruby woo is actually one of the highest in demand and it is very limited, application is amazing. You could make it look light pink, brown or nude depending on the amount you apply. The model has on a lip liner by M.A.C (CORK) .




12. Russian RED
 This lipstick cannot be mistaken for the ruby woo or should not be mistaken for ruby woo as it has darker under tones as compared to ruby woo. It is equally matte and it has a touch of class to it. It is my first love as regard M.A.C lipstick. It was my first love. lol


13. High tea
 It literally  looks like tea and I hate tea but I love this one. It is very settled and it really speaks a lot about the person wearing it. Its a love at first sight kind of lipstick. It is a lustre and it has gold finish.






14. Ruby Woo
 You have no idea whatsoever about makeup if you have not met Ruby woo. It is a must have everybody should own one. You never get it wrong with ruby woo. Its a beauty in its own. It has a way of making one look extra classy and sophisticated. You know when they say once you go black you never go back, once you use ruby woo its hard for you to change to another brand as per red lipstick. Be it day or night, ruby woo has got you covered.



  







The good thing about M.A.C is that you get a wide range to pick from. There are about  a hundred and six M.A.C lipsticks and these are just fourteen. There are 2 M.A.C studios in Lagos and  a couple abroad. I keep telling people that it really is not a waste, a waste is when in a year you've bought 5 red lipsticks cuz they won't last or cuz you are not satisfied......

Saturday, 24 May 2014

Its been like forever since I posted or even visited my blog and thats a big on my shame path I know but Ive been super busy, working on a lot of projects lately coupled with going for WOFBI (Word Of Faith Bible Institute) which ofcourse was too amazing and a big experience for me. It ofcourse sprung up more goals that I hope to accomplish as regards my spiritual life....
  Anyhoo I resumed back to my first love......blogging and the winners of the End of the session giveaway would be given their gift immediately we resume school.
   On sunday the 25th of August I would be commencing what I have title 'Make-up week'. Its going to be super fun I can assure you, every week I would be interviewing atleast a make-up artiste or an aspiring make-up artiste from different universities and they would be showcasing their art and I really do hope you guys love it. I've had so much fun just interviewing these talented artistes and I'm sure you will too. 
   Something about this is not merely  just reading  other people's stories, it is about learning from their struggles and being motivated by their journey. Personally talking to talented people opens me up to the fact that people are actually doing things with their lives and not just lazing around.........
