Mask-Friendly Makeup

I don’t know about you, but since the pandemic began, I changed how I wear my makeup while wearing my mask. I am sure a lot of us can relate. We have watered down our makeup looks.

Why Eyelash Extensions Are Not For Me

As a beauty connoisseur, it was only right for me to try out eyelash extensions. After deliberating with myself and doing countless research on the right person to apply them, I was not convinced.

Fall Makeup Look + Fashion at the Trap Music Museum

I am sure that all creatives can agree that we love to create. No matter what it is, it is our first love. Sometimes, we work so hard at what we do, and we tend to forget to take time out to enjoy going out without thinking about, creating.

In my case, I love creating content. My mind wonders 24/7 and sometimes it drives myself crazy. After a long work week, it was time to enjoy a night out and engage in some activities that do not require any form of work. That is what I did - I attended the pop-up Trap Music Museum in Atlanta.

Happy October! It's a new month, and we are just under 100 days remaining of 2018.

Summer 2018 is just around the corner, and of course, we are ready, or not. When the sun is out, we are out, and we cannot afford to have our makeup looking like you came through drippin, literally. One thing I hate to see is a queen out and about with her makeup running down her face.
