Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well and enjoying the
holidays, yeah? Ok.

With the thickness of this foundation, I apply very little of it and still get very full coverage.
Well today’s post is a foundation review for the FlawlessIvy HD Water-proof, 24-hour Matte, Oil-free foundation (such a long name lol).
Flawless Ivy is a Nigerian makeup brand that launched this
year and they’ve grown quite popular among beauty/makeup enthusiasts for their
wide range of product offerings, decent quality and very affordable pricing.
The brand has products from foundation, powders, eye shadows,
and many others.
Fast forward to the Christmas Makeup Fair earlier in this
month, I decided to give them a shot, so I purchased their HD matte foundation.
I had seen a few reviews and videos of this foundation around, plus it sells for less than N3,000 (around $8) so I was okay with trying it.
- First thing to note is that the foundation comes in a
plastic bottle with a pump and an opaque cap, which is very good. Liquid
foundations that come without a cap or applicator should be banned by now.I had seen a few reviews and videos of this foundation around, plus it sells for less than N3,000 (around $8) so I was okay with trying it.
- Second thing is the consistency. This foundation is
thick guys. Thick but not sticky.
Application is easy and quite even but the product dries
quickly so I advise applying it in bits and blending very fast, until all areas
of your face are covered, instead of the more common way of putting bits of
foundation all over your face and then blending.

- Shade and undertone is warm but not red which is a big plus!
I got mine in the shade ‘Honey’, which is the best match I’ve ever gotten from
a foundation.
Overtone and undertone correct, with no changes overtime time and oxidation. Nice!
- Coverage: I personally avoid full coverage foundations
because of my skin. I have huge pores that get clogged easily, plus a lot of
texture, so heavy products are a no for me.Overtone and undertone correct, with no changes overtime time and oxidation. Nice!

- Long wear: It lasts all day for me and doesn’t move, which
is great.
Only problem with this foundation is that I get some breaking
around my mouth and nose after wearing it for a long time.
Washing it off is
also a struggle! It is indeed waterproof so you have to put in some good effort
to get it off your skin, so that’s not so great for me.
Overall it’s such a great product. One of the best from our
Nigerian makeup brands, in fact, so check them out on their website and on
Instagram too. That is, after you’ve followed me..
That's it! See you in my next post!
Happy holidays again! This is a quick post that I thought to share with you because it’s Christmas eve and there are parties and gatherings to get to, not to mention, it’s Christmas tomorrow, and the New Year shenanigans in the next few days, so there’s more to do.
As I mentioned in my last post, makeup is a key part of dressing up for the holidays but please DON’T NEGLECT WHAT COMES BEFORE.
Skin care and lip care and other hygiene matters. Please take care of these things 😊

Which brings me to this post. I’m sharing a quick but effective D.I.Y natural exfoliating and moisturizing lip scrub that I've been using for a long time to keep my kissers good and clear.
What you need:
-Sugar
-Olive oil or coconut oil
-Honey
Directions:
-Mix all three ingredients in
a container.
-Gently scrub lips with mixture.
-Wait for 10 to 20 mins and then rinse off.
-Follow up with a lip balm.

-Wait for 10 to 20 mins and then rinse off.
-Follow up with a lip balm.
That’s it! Easy peasy. This scrub will INSTANTLY leave your lips soft, smooth, moisturized and scale-free, ready for whatever lip products you might want to wear for the holiday festivities.
If you’re in Nigeria or any other geographies with harsher weather conditions around this season, you need this even more.

Happy holidays everyone!
Yes it’s been a minute, I know, but I have a very good
explanation for the absence. It’s been a whirlwind, let me tell you, but I choose
to remain thankful, especially in this season of love, Jesus and celebrations.
Now, with celebrations come need for dressing up, and
dressing up in this season requires a little bit of jazz to fit. You need to
get overly fancy but this is definitely not the time to be crusty and basic.
Enter this look I created and shot for y’all.

Simple Christmas/holiday Glam, this makeup look
is perfect for any level of decembering you have planned. The best part is that
it requires just a few makeup products and little steps, which is all I’m about
here..
Another good part is that I recorded and uploaded a
tutorial for the look on my YouTube, so go watch, leave a comment, like, subscribe
to my channel (Please guys!) and feel free to recreate!
In the meantime, here’s a closer look -

I really like this look. It is a little heavier than i would wear ordinarily but it's the season for extra, so yassss!
