Hi everyone,

Its been ages and quite frankly I am embarrassed to come back on here to talk about makeup but I'm going to do it anyways.

I have been locked out of my account for a good while and somehow I have managed to sign in. I can safely say we are back in business.

Hope you are all doing ok?

Just a quick plug of my channel to get us back in the swing of things.

This is my Mac Rubywoo lipstick video on YouTube-My Mac Rubywoo lipstick tutorial

Combating oily skin

I get the question about oily skin, oily fore head and nose all the time-I always laugh because I spent most of my teens and early 20’s trying to get over that problem.

Here’s the problem with most of us; we have a routine for our bodies(having a shower/bath)and hair(washing/cowashing/styling) and mouth(brushing teeth) everyday but we don't have any routine for our faces and that's bad.

I say that because I never had one until I realise my skin was changing as I aged.

Our skin changes and reacts with age, weather conditions, hormonal changes, climate changes etc. so its important that we also evolve in our understanding of this so we can respond and prepare to age gracefully.

These methods are not fool proof but they work if you are consistent and have a healthy diet to supplement .I have tried some of these hence the recommendations.

As always, find what works for you and stick to it. Feel free to change it if you change environment or anything else changes.

• Try masks-homemade or natural ones like the raw cacao and coconut from Evolve beauty listed below is good. You can try honey or natural yoghurts-do this once a week as too much of it is also bad for your skin.
• Exfoliate- up to 3 times a week max-use a clarisonic or hand glove exfoliator.
• Cleanse-through cleaning of your skin-get in the crevices-do this every morning and night even if you did not wear makeup during the day
• Tone-Do this after cleansing to neutralise your skin’s PH after using the cleanser-This is particularly good for oily skin as it prevents build up and will close up your pores.
• Hydrate-drink 4 of the 50ml bottles of water everyday-Dehydration can cause your glands to produce more oil to take care of your skin where you are not hydrated enough.
• Drink spearmint tea-apparently helps-not tested yet.

Bridal Collections from Asos and H&M

Bridal wear and Makeup have taken the world by storm with more and more people more focused on their looks than ever before.


We know makeup has evolved in the years but Bridal Market has boomed over the years with more and more people marrying and divorcing and remarrying. Its almost a cycle which I hope become too common as divorce is not the best circumstance to have around.


On a more positive light, Asos last month introduced a bridal collection and has just this morning introduced the Asos wedding Chapel. I think that is well cheeky by the way although clever ways of branding. It almost takes the sanctity of marrying in a traditional church building away-That's debatable certainly based on one's beliefs but I wont get into that for the sake of the integrity of my blog.


Anyways,H&M have decided to follow in the footsteps of Asos and have announced the launching of a bridal line on the 7th of April, with price ranging between £149.99 to £399.How FETCH is that?


Its ridiculously affordable and you will understand after you visit a bridal shop or you watch your friends and family pay throusands for dresses that are only going to be worn in a day.


I certainly don't want to influence even as I do that by encouraging you to pay attention to H&M, Glamour Magazine and other websites to announce the release of their bridal wear.


Here are a few samples,drool away Angels:)

Malkia Roberts-Triple Threat

I came across this MUA yesterday and thought Id share with you all.


Like me, she does not like heavy make up.


I love to see skin show though makeup rather than colour. I think it creates an appeal that truly speaks about a person's beauty.


I normally don't shout muas out but I will be doing this henceforth.


She is brilliant and has worked with all sorts of skintones.


She does the make up,hair and photography herself.


Find her work at; http://www.malkia.co.uk/
Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/malkiaroberts/


You will be amazed at her brilliance.

Favour please...Do you see my posts

Hi all,


Just wondering if you guys can see my posts.


Its been a while since I received a comment from a real person on here.


Please comment below so I know my posts are seen.


Many Thanks

Bridal Phototshoot by EnitanPhotography

Hi Y'all


This whole month like this year has been incredibly eventful. I have done so many things and I have had the courage to do things I normally would not do. It has been such a beautiful and successful year from start to finish-I cannot complain.


December crowned it with a big Bridal Photoshoot in Barking, London at Pro Image Studios which was shot by EnitanPhotography and masterminded by Milly Opeodu of  EllianaEvents


It was a very fun shoot that came out beautifully and was also featured on a number of Bridal Websites including the renowned WeddingDigestNaija...HEREhttp://www.weddingdigestnaija.com/131306-2/


I have so much to say about this but all the details are already in the links I have provided above and  believe it speaks for itself.


I will show you a couple of pictures from the shoot below and also on my website .

Feel free to drool.

Seasons Greetings everyone:)

5 Beauty Advice I can offer you

Happy Monday People,

I just thought I would share this with you all:)

• Take care of your skin
• Eat very well; at least 3 full meals a day
• Drink tons of water and healthy or fruity drinks instead of carbonated soft drinks
• Cleanse your face every morning and every evening.
• Cut down sugar significantly-It will reduce the protein break down in your skin(Glycation) and give your healthy skin.

Like everything, you need to be consistent to see results but I certainly hope you practice especially the last step-It is the most effective step for me so far.

I'll chat to you in my next one as usual.

Winter Skincare Tips

The dryest season is back again and for everyone,lips start to chap and heels begin cracking.It is not exactly to prettiest thing to imagine if you are quite imaginative.

It doesn't always have to be that way especially if you are into taking care of your skin and giving it some love here and there.

My go to tips are:

1Drink lots of water-cold or warm to hydrate your skin and keep it fresh

2Moisturise every part of your body even your nails-no jokes

3Use hydrating or oil based moisturisers for face and other parts of your body respectively 

4Reduce the temperature of your hot water during washing up and bath time obviously to prevent scalding and to avoid drying out your skin

5Eat foods that nourish and hydrate your skin such as Avocado,fish,spinach and leafy greens,fruits etc

Bonus Tip-Try my favorite lip balm,tried and tested fool-proof lip moisturiser-Carmex Vanilla stick which is sold online and in shops for less than £3.50 -cheap!!!
