Sleek's Dare

Posted by
Are you still considering sleek?
Do you feel like there is no hope in being a partakeer of this brand?
Are you confused as to what sleek is?

Well madam chichi to the rescue...confusion shall catch you no more.

Its a make up brand based in the uk and its very affordable. Unfortunately canada does not carry amazing products like sleek (don't ask me why this country carries all sorts of last)

Anyways, I refused to carry last with them thank heaven for the tube! YOUTUBE that is

Yup i found out about sleek form youtube and since then its been all love. However, i have been taken

a break from purchases because I am relearning good spending habits :)

I present to you dare by sleek

The way i like this lipstick ehhhh, as innnn, as paaa! AHHH. Especially a red that matches my kpomo lips perfectly like this, mehnnn i just had to fall in love

The lipstick tho is very dry (matte) and i love gloss so I glossed it up with a lip gloss from essence call ed  stay with me in (07-kiss kiss). Essence is myy place for lip gloss, cheap and sweet lol

This FOTD the day i wrote my mental health exam. Mehn i hate looking like dracula during exam time for real. I don't mind looking off during school periods but when exam hits, I ease up my stress with make. Weird right I know

You can get this lippie here http://www.sleekmakeup.com/

Fashion Fair in Ottawa!

Posted by
Hi there,

I know y'all would wonda why I like changing my template. to be quite honest i just wanted something different. Like new I guess. This was what i could come up with so dont be shocked sha, a change may come near you again :D

Okay, some of people who live in ottawa would say, "madam are you just finding out" and my answer 
is "sadly i am :(". I am always looking for alternative makeup to mac. Dont get me wrong mac is good but its not all that. Yes I SAID IT. MAC AIN'T ALL THAT :P. Plus for students like us its a bit too 'hexpensive". 

Anyways I found fashion fair at the bay in rideau mall for those who live downtown in ottawa. I love fashion fair because it really caters to women of color. I mean they have all shades of black (you know caramel, capaccino, mocha, toffee or dark chocolate :D :D). 

I walked in that store like i was in a candy or ice scream store i was too excited. The lady that attended to me was too cute as well. She complimented my makeup so she got points for that :D

You may ask "chichi what did you buy cut to the chase" and my reply is nothing. I tried a few products but buy??? I aint got time for that i need to use up some of the makeup i have piled at home first biko (please). My money no fit waste like that #justsaying

But if you wanna start out in makeup especially if your indecisive about foundations and your trying to save. Fashion fair is a good place to dig in.  

Here is the store in rideau mall 



The foundations range from $28-$21 (but you know ontario and taxes. it'll increase by 13% if you buy, so be expectant)

The 'sam fine' quads ( created by sam fine, makeup artist extraordinaire) costs $38 but are higly pigmented and silky with just one stroke. So if i was to spend $40 on this quad i wont need to buy a shadow base because the shadows are that pigmented.

The powders are about $22.50 +tax

concealers are abou $16 +tax

Lippies range from : $22-$17 +tax

So its a pretty okay affordable brand

I would probably buy a foundation or lipgloss when i am done using all my products :)

But yh yall who are shopping for makeup and other brand alternatives give this one  shot

Anyways. Have a lovely weekend. 

Remain Blessed

Teen Makeup

Posted by
I am a big fan of neutral makeup and age appropriate makeup. Honestly I am not a believer in makeup transforming people beyond recognition (especially if its towards the negative).

Anyways in may I applied makeup on a bridesmaid who was  either 14 years old and I remember vividly what her grandmom wanted the innocent teenage look still preserved under all the layers of foundation.

Honestly, the only solution I had for this was the give my young bridesmaid a nude look. Because sharp, loud colors tend to scream a totally different thing with regards to age and maturity

I have no before pictures, However I do have an after pick. This youngin in real pretty (trinidadian accent) lol
My goal was to ensure that her natural beauty was still maintained and her grand ma and ma were really happy with the results.

Thanks to my naked pallete by urban decay and fix plus fluid 

Honestly: You can never go wrong with the urban decay pallate especially with natural fresh looks

Wearable hues

Posted by
So i have been so absent from this blog. Forgive me :( for the absenteeism  but i lost my blogging mojo and i had to go back to the basic questions  "what is the aim of this blog", "what is my vision for this blog" and "how do i feel about this blog".

Anyways, My quations got answered and with the counsel of my big sisters and bro I came back to what  love MAKEUP!

Besides that my faith has grown tremendously over the past 2 months and I am excited about what God has in store for me. Honestly if you are reading this you are beautiful, makeup or not, fashionable or not, God has created you in His own image and has cleansed you in the blood of His son Jesus and that exactly is where your beauty comes from.

Remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139 vs 14

Here are my wearable hues
