SKINCARE JOURNEY part 1: SIMPLIFY

Hello parfait beauties. Ever heard that saying “makeup is only as good as the skin it’s on?” I recently had a conversation with myself about this. I have never really had any issues with my skin (except the minor breakouts once in a while) until November last year. Talk about ISSUES, I had it all, terrible acne, large pores, flakiness, oiliness, dryness, virtually everything you could think of happened to me at once. No matter how much I tried to perfect my makeup, it wasn’t happening.

Being a professional beauty therapist, you would think I would have the answers right? Wrong. I was at that point, I didn’t know what to do. I switched foundations thinking that would solve the problem, nothing. I studied and adjusted my diet, nothing. I didn’t bother with my skincare products because as long as I could remember they have served me well and then it occurred to me…SIMPLIFY.

Lemons and Yellow

Hiiiii people (Big grin) So anyone that know me well knows I am obsessed with the colour yellow. I love yellow dresses. Infact I have this yellow top that I have worn to death, I'm sure my neighbors think that's the only top I own lol.
So the other day I went to see the movie Avengers; Age of ultron (standing ovation) with my gorgeous friend Lovelyn and I wore as you would have guessed by now, a long yellow dress. Usually I am quite neutral when it comes to makeup on myself when going out but I decided to try something a bit more fun and colourful. So if you have extra time to spare, here is a picture tutorial below

PRODUCT REVIEW : Clinique Soft Matte Lipstick.

Hi Parfait beauties. Okay let me jump right into it. The first time I saw this lipstick my exact thought was "Does Ruby Woo have a Rival?" Everybody I know has a Mac ruby woo lipstick, its so popular that some people actually think ruby woo is a brand lol.
I for one love ruby woo because its such a gorgeous rich red matte lipstick that speak volumes but I am not a fan of the way it sucks the very life out of my lips and how it cracks or should I say falls apart after a few hours of wear.

Gothic/RiRi Inspired Pictorial.

Hello Parfait princesses and queens, so the gist is that I planned to do a valentine inspired look but couldn't due to last minute work issues but then again, there were loads of pretty valentine's day inspired makeup posts so crisis averted lol.

So today's post is inspired by a recent picture of Rihanna that practically took over instagram. The picture I saw was apparently altered (her lippie was enhanced) but never the less it was a stunning look. 

 

PRODUCT REVIEW : BM PRO Long lasting Lipgloss in CHAI

 Hello beauties. Thank God its Friday. Who is turning up this weekend? Who wants to invite me? (big smile) For as long as I can remember I have been a massive fan of dark lippies. Burgundy, plum, brown, black, indigo, you name it...I love it. There is something sultry about dark lips, very seductive, mysterious, confident, do I really need to keep explaining at this point lol.

PRODUCT REVIEW : BEE LASHES

Happy new year parfait beauties. We thank God for life and the grace to see the new year. How is everyone? How many of you made new year resolutions? (sips coffee) and how many of those new year resolutions includes lashes?

Yup, Lashes. Come on lashes are life, lashes equal glam, lashes can take any look from drab to fab and I just discovered a lash brand that's amazing and extremely affordable. Drum rolls please.....BEE LASHES.

BEE lashes is a lash brand by a colleague and awesome makeup artist Abisola of Ashabee. I have been meaning to try her lashes but couldn't quite give up my love for Ardell lashes but I can honestly say that I am a convert as these are awesome and very comparable to the Ardell ones for half the price. score!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Inglot Freedom sustem eyeshadow in 15 and 605.

Hello gorgeous Parfait people. I have missed you guys so much. What has everyone been up to? Well I have been working and trying to get better from an unhealthy addiction to coffee (story for another day)
For today's post I have decided to do a review on the Inglot freedom system eyeshadows. Since the Inglot store opened at the palms mall in Lekki, I have been in there one too many times..(love the staff...the ladies are gorge) I have made some purchases and have been meaning to review them but just couldn't wait but for this I had to restrain myself and took pictures first for your viewing pleasure.
