My Skincare Routine

Hello Gorg ones!
Hehe!

So I get loads of questions about my skincare routine.
Trust me, I'm not very consistent with products but this has been my routine for over a month now.
First of all, I need to say I have acne prone skin.
But in recent times, my face has been listening to me lol!
My new routine includes a facial every one and a half month.
I shuttle between Spas (Bnatural Med Spa and Body Beautiful)
And then.....
I use these products till me next appointment.

(Sorry for the background, you can sha see the products X_X)

First of all,
My Germaine De Capuccini Bar Soap

Hey! This soap is divine!
It gets ALLLLLLLLL your makeup off in a second! I mean, all them blackest black kajal, mascara and blaa!
If you don't have time for a makeup removing wipe, this is what you need!
I got it from the Bnatural Spa, I think they're like the only ones that stock a wide range of the Germaine De Capuccini products, well I don't know the story.

And then,
I use my Neutrogena alcohol free toner,





wait for that to dry and then moisturize with either my Olay sensitive skin moisturiser
or my Neutrogena oil free moisturiser. (I get all these from Poise, Ikeja City Mall).

The Clean and Clear Morning Burst, I dunno why I got this lol! I've used this just once or twice since I got it. I just love the scent!

Yeah!
So that's pretty much my skin care routine!
Finding what to stick to can be frustrating sometimes (you don't want to see my dresser), you have to keep trying till you find what your skin loves. One point to note, never be too quick to judge, sometimes, it gets worse before it gets better.
These work well for me, might not work well for another.
Again, It's never about the price of the products you use, people react to high end skin care products too.
ALWAYS TRY OUT PRODUCTS THAT ARE READILY AVAILABLE
TRY ONLY PRODUCTS YOU KNOW YOU CAN AFFORD ( Can you buy another jar in two weeks with your income? Have that in mind)
I wish you all a pretty clear skin.
MMMMWAHHH!
(Inserts an "I woke up like this selfie" lol!)

RIMMEL WATERPROOF GEL LINER : Review!

Hey gorg ones!

Thought to share my thought on this amazing product!
During my last holiday, I stocked up on so much makeup, everyone thought I was going
way too far this time. Like they were too worried! LOL!
I got this gel liner either September or November last year, thanks to my sweet cousin Naya!

Got home from Walmart with Naya, and then she brings out this pretty little thing. Thought it had
a cute packaging and that was about it.
Well, I promised to do her makeup for school the next day and then I laid hands on her
Rimmed gel liner. Instant LOVE!

Went back to Walmart, saw other colors but I just got black. Pretty sure the other colors have same quality.

This gel liner is all sorts of amazing!
It's smudge free and really easy to use.
It's really black and yes it's blacker than MAC'S black track. Staying power? Yes please!
Would I restock? Oh yes!

 I use this stuff everyday!

See!

Another day.....

If you know any naija stores selling, please lemme know.
Have a beautiful y'all

MMMMWAHH!

Makeup (African Editorial) : What I used

Hey everyone! :D
Here's hoping y'all are doing fab :)
As usual, we'll pretend like nothing happened and get right into...... Makeup!

So this is something I see some artists do, give a full listing of the products they use for a particular look. I think its a pretty cool thing to do. Thought to join the bandwagon cause I know I've learnt a lot from other artists.

Hehe! You gon' learn today..

Model: Grace

I love the colours of this makeup. This is what I do when I'm not too sure of what colours to use, you'll always be safe with browns golds blacks.... They'd fit any colour of outfit.
I'm really not a makeup matchy-matchy person, well that's if I have to decide what to do for clients though. These days, clients go hard LOL! They even bring photos of how they want to look.

Here's Graycee's Editorial Makeover and what I used

Face

Primer: Smashbox Photofinish foundation primer
Foundation: Revlon colorstay in 'Toast'
Powder: Tara powder in (I think 50)
Bronzer: Tara bronzer in Light
I contoured with the BH cosmetics Blush and contour palette
Highligted with L.A girl PRO concealer in the shade "fawn", Ben Nye in the shade banana and Basic Highlighter and rouge
Blush: Bobbi Brown blush in Coral

Eyes

 

Brows: MAC spiked brow pencil
Eyeshadow base: NYX jumbo pencil in milk
Eyelid: Anastasia Beverly Hills duo eyeshadow 'Illuminate' from the "See and be Seen" kit
The brown from the Tara trio shadow 'ovialeke' and MAC's  Black tied where used to cut the crease and the eyelid shadow from Wet'n wild 34166 palette was used to highlight the brow bone and blend the crease into the highlight.
Waterline: NYX jumbo pencil was used,
Maybelline kajal was used to line just outside the waterline
Lashes : Maybelline mascara was used on both top and bottom lash, then Elf dramatic false lash was used on the top lash.

Lips

I used two shades of Wet'n wild lipsticks

Cherry bomb (918D) for the sides of the lip, sort of like a liner

Sugar plum fairy (906C) for the inner part of the lip and blended

Holla, I'll be glad to answer any questions.

 

MMMMMMMMMMMMWAHHH!!!
