Hi guys, today I will be sharing this simple glam I did today using the too faced make up palette and mascara my sister sent to me last christmas. I have been busy with Work and all that i did not have time to use it, but i did today.

The too faced palette is a must have i must say, like its a box containing 18 eyeshadow Colours, a bronzer, highlighter and blush all in one box, how beautiful.

 This is it, really fancy and beautiful i must say. For the look i did with this beautiful box. I started with my brows using the Kiss beauty gel liner, in the shade brown, i always use a gel liner because it gives the brows this filled look and natural look too, just like it gave my brows, i concealed my brows using the L.A girl pro concealer in the shade fawn ( a really light shade) using a smooth brush i blended it well and added powder for even look.


    Then i went in with my eyeshadow starting with my eyeshadow primer on my eyelid and blending it in completely, then using a blending brush i applied my loose powder just to give it this matte look, then i went in with the PLEASANT DREAMS as my base colour, i blended it very well. The next colour was UNDER THE MISTLETOE a black shade, i went in with enough of this colour to get that smokey look, then i went in with the shade OH WHAT FUN and i blended in using my blending and eyeshadow brushes.

   Next was my eyelashes, i used the M.A.C lashes and glued it in using my huda beauty lash glue. The next thing was my foundation, for my highlight i used the classic foundation in the shade 02 using a beauty blender and blended it well, and for my contour i used my sephora  foundation in the shade deep to contour.

   I used the black opal loose powder in a light shade to highlight then I used my steel powder in the shade 08 for my contour and I blended in very well. I used the highlighter in my too faced palette in the shade  ANGEL KISSES and blended well, then i went in with the blush in the shade CHRISTMAS FLUSH  before bronzing my face using the shade WINTER GLOW. Ofcourse i did not forget to fix my make up using the classic fixed make up spray.  I DID NOT USE A LIPSTICK.

Hi guys, have you been thinking of changing your hair/wig colour? You bought a  colour tried it and it faded after two days. I know why, and yes you did nothing wrong, lets just say you forgot one important ingredient. So yeah, i will show you today. Stay tuned.

What is a developer?  I dont mean the software developer or real estate developer, I mean a salon hair developer, well it is a product mixed with hair colour to activate it and enable the hair colour penetrate the cuticle. It contains hydrogen peroxide that either lifts or deposits the hair colour. You must mix a developer with a basic ingredient such as bleach or hair colour to activate it.

Why is developer important?
To get desired result after bleaching or colouring your hair, you must use a developer to enable the colour/ bleach penetrate the hair cuticle for the colour to infiltrate.

What do volumes mean and when do we use them?
Hair developer volume refers to its oxidizing potential. The majority of hair formulas Work with developers of volume 10, 12, 20, 30,40.

1) Volume 10 : The 10 volume developer is a standard oxidizing Level for permanent colour. It is used when you want to add a colour tone/tint to the hair of the same lightness Level. It also opens the hair cuticles allowing the hair absorb the colour.

2) Volume 20: The Level 20 opens the hair cuticle but unlike 10, it also helps to lift the hair  by one or two Levels. E.g if you have 50%  gray hair, you must use this volume 20 developer is the only developer for 100% hair coverage.

3) Volume 30: The volume 30 works like the volume 20 but will lighten the hair original colour by two to three and is more eficient when the desired colour is not more than two Levels lighter than the original colour.Choose this when you want a developer stronger than a lighter and deeper colour.

4) Volume 40: The volume 40 is the strongest and has the ability to produce significant changes. It will lift your hair four shades and is Good for blondes and high lift colours.

How do I use a developer?
Colouring your hair yourself is easy if you do it with care, begin by mixing the colour and conditioner by ratio 1: 3 and ensure you make enough to saturate your hair. Then wash with a shampoo and dry before applying vaseline or your hair protector to prevent colour staining. Next add colour to your roots as you Work your way down the hair while saturating evenly. Finally leave for 10-40 minutes.

I hope this helps and the next time you try colouring your hair, take a picture for me to see. Below is a picture of my own developer, i got it from an online store for five thousand naira in lagos, Nigeria.

         Today I will be blogging about making lemon oil at home, I love this oil because it has a Good frangrance, I use it as home to spray the house and everytime my parents compliments it. It is also used for soap making, yes lemon oil contains some useful nutrients that helps to fight germs, it is added to organic soaps to add more nutrient and also to increase the frangrance.

     How to make lemon oil at home.
1) Get your fresh lemon: Fresh lemons are used because they still have all essencial nutrients present in it and the lemon scent is very strong. So you need some fresh lemons. Wash them very well under running water or a bowl of water.




2) Get a vegetable cutter to cut slivers/peels  off, ensure you remove the bitter white pith of the lemon.

    

3) In a non stick pot or heating pot, place the lemon peels in and add coconut oil to cover the surface. Turn the heat on a low and shimmer for 5 minutes.
5) Place the oil aside for the oil to the take in the lemon favour.

 6) Strain the oil in a clean air tight mason jar or bottle and store in the dark cabinet or fridge.
     Yeah, thats the recipe, it almost christmas with alot of visitors coming home, try this and use it as a home frangrance, you will thank me later. Muah.
