FOTD-FOTN: EMINADO

This post is a day to night look using Mac and Sleek Products. I have used LA Girl Concealer as well and I love it because it adds a flawless touch under the eyes.
Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's day.

SIMPLE CHIC.
The look was to try and achieve a soft and simple glow for the day using Mac Up The Amp on the lips, and some Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes on the eyes.










The hair was left to its own devices; I just used a curling wand to add a bit of definition to it.














TROPICAL PARADISE.
This look was achieved with the lovely Sleek Storm and Sunset Palettes. 







I added some Red Cherry lashes to add to the effect; love these lashes. On the cheeks I have on Sleek Blush by 3 Flame.













My hair was curled as seen here; but also I brushed it out to make it look more wild; I think the look has a retro feel to it.

On my lips is a mix of Candy Yum Yum and Ruby Woo due to the Valentine's season.

I will be taking some time away from the blog for personal reasons.

FOTN: VALENTINE'S EDITION.

Hey Guys!

This is a classy but daring look I decided to try. Its loud, vibrant and colourful and I love it!

I thought it'd be perfect for a val's look of the night as it is made up of soft colours such as pink.
The curls also add to the soft but daring quality of the look. 

You can leave your hair tightly curled like I did here. 














Or go for a more loose wild texture like so. The curls add to the romanticised and dainty nature of the look. Either would suit for a romantic outing.


I love this look because its daring and fun. Its also perfect for a night out with le boo to celebrate or just with a group of friends.


For the eyes I mostly 
played around with my Sleek Palletes for a fun 
and vibrant feel. I used Sleek's Pink Sprint Blush Set for my cheeks, to give them a healthy glow and on my lips I have on a mix of MAC's Ruby Woo and Up The Amp which gave a surprisingly, delightful rich pink colour to them. 

I will definitely be experimenting with combining lip colours; I think you can never go wrong especially at night where any bright colour will do.



I might be putting up more Val's Day inspired looks but hope you like this one!

AFRO BEATS

Hey Guys!

Here are some new afro beats I'm loving. Especially in love with Davido's Aye; the video is so culturally infused and creative. A lot of lovely tunes out just in time for Val's Day. Enjoy :)
