<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hi guys, don't want to ramble much today just want to show you mostly pictures of some pigment shadows i got some few days back. Don't know if you have ever heard of Magnolia Makeup, it is an American brand that mostly makes loose pigments (eyeshadows and blush) though there are lipsticks. The loose shadows come in mattes, shimmer and glitter. Let me just say they are wonderfully pigmented and the colours are very vibrant. I got the ones with shimmer. To know more check them out on facebook </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/MagnoliaMakeup?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/MagnoliaMakeup?fref=ts</a> <span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">and their website </span><a href="http://www.magnolia-makeup.com/Home">http://www.magnolia-makeup.com/Home</a> <span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">To purchase them you can get yours from Stella's Addiction, No. 10, Balarabe Musa Crescent, off Samuel Manuwa (Samuel Manuwa street is second gate bus stop 1004), Victoria Island, Lagos. It is quite affordable and the jars are 3 grams worth of product which is a lot. Without further ado here are the pictures.</span></div>

Will do more reviews on other colours in the near future. You guys should get the Magnolia pigment shadows they are just too pretty not to have. Till another time, cheers!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><strong><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%;">I mentioned this brush
briefly in my last post and will talk more on it now. I will start by saying, I
looooooove this brush. It is the best I have used so far. A brief description
of this tool is that it’s a </span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">synthetic
brush used for applying and blending cream or liquid foundation with an extended
aluminum handle which is light and easy to use. It’s created by makeup artist
and You Tuber Sam Chapman; she has other brushes as well that has gotten some
good reviews and I will say has quite a following in Nigeria. I believe she
resides in the UK, not sure where but getting her brushes here in Nigeria isn't
hard.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">The brush which is
soft to the touch is firm and dense which makes for easy application. When I
use it my clients and I love the way it feels on our faces, it’s like getting a
free massage, feels quite cuddly really. It gives a smooth flawless finish when
applying foundation; you can apply lightly and build up if you want. The shape
and size of the brush makes it easy to reach difficult areas like the sides of
the nose, around your eyes and behind the ears. Another wonderful thing about
this brush is I can apply foundation faster than I use to, in the business of a
makeup artist speed is most times of the essence because we work with a time
frame.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">The best way to use
this brush is to buff in the foundation and blend in circular motions, you can
check out how to use it on Sam Chapman’s YouTube channel, pixiwoo. To keep the
brush clean you can dab it in a little olive oil and wipe clean on wipes for a
quick clean and for a major wash dab in a little olive oil and then baby
shampoo, place under the tap and rinse out, squeeze a bit to make sure nothing
remains. Please avoid using well water to wash brushes because it will end up
hardening the brush with time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First I like to do the brows and eyes first, so I filled in
the brows lightly with Sleek brown eyebrow pencil and then brushed it out with
a brow wand for a more natural look, then I used 03 Milani concealer to define the
brows, this I placed under the brow and the tail end on the upper side of the
brow making sure to blend out the concealer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After putting Elf eye primer on the eyelid I put Magnolia eye
fix which is a white base to make the eyeshadow more defined, a little goes a
long way, I mean a very, very tiny bit. Blend out and pat Magnolia Sugar Hill
on top and then pat Magnolia Golden Nugget on top of Sugar Hill, this gives a
nice gold bronze look, i applied a white gold eyeshadow in the inner corner of
the eyes from the BH 4<sup>th</sup> edition palette. In the crease I used a
soft matte brown colour to blend out everything and to highlight under the brow
I used a semi matte light gold eyeshadow.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next I cleaned the face with wipes to remove eyeshadow fall
outs, primed the face with MK face primer to give the skin a silky smooth base
and applied MK 607 foundation. Her face was a dream to work with because her
skin was so flawless. I then highlighted under the eyes, the bridge of the nose
and center of the chin with Milani 03 concealer, blended with my fingers and
set with Zaron LZ10 loose powder. To contour I used a fan brush to lightly
apply Zaron LZ20 loose powder on both sides of the nose, hollow of the cheeks
and on the sides of the forehead and used Black Opal Neutral Light finishing
powder to lightly dust every other part of the face. I went back to the eyes to
finish up by lining upper lash line with Zaron Kajal, Jordana Devine eyeliner
on the water line and Maybelline mascara on upper and lower lashes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I lined the lips with Sleek Deep Cherry blended it out and
applied MK TD lipstick (sorry I don’t remember the name); I topped it off with
a Zaron lipgloss in a soft pink colour. To brighten up the lips i applied Sleek
Paint Pout in Cloud Nine in the center of the lips. This is a thick white
opaque gloss; I put just a tiny, tiny bit and blended it out. I finished up by
applying Sleek Coral blush on the cheeks and Wet n Wild gold bronzer on the
bridge of the nose and the top part of the cheeks for a golden glow.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

together. You can try this out and send me a picture to my email </span><a href="mailto:oyinlooks.beauty@gmail.com"><span style="line-height: 115%;">oyinlooks.beauty@gmail.com</span></a><span style="line-height: 115%;"> of what

Went there on the 2nd day and this was my first impression of the place, hot and bumpy. Hot because the split units were barely circulating cool air and bumpy because the ground was uncomfortably uneven. It was so bad that those in heels like moi were in danger of falling flat on their faces, in fact 2 ladies did fall. That must have been mortifying. So ladies make sure to wear sandals when you go or else.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Despite all that i enjoyed myself, there are many booths to visit and many things to see and buy, makeup, accessories, aso oke, wedding gowns, event planners, cakes and more cakes. One of the first booths i went to was Banke Meshida's booth (BM|Pro), i had a lovely time talking makeup with her. She showed me how to use her products and the power of her Gel eye shadow base and Makeup fixing spray. Using them on Eye shadows hardly allowed them to smudge meaning, oily eye lids and sweaty faces are hardly going to do any damage. I am so getting them. Her eye shadows are to die for, so beautifully pigmented, soo getting those too. I believe she is offering discounts to those who would like to be </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">BM|Pro</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> beauty representatives, so go check out her booth, lots of addictive products from the BM|pro line to choose from.</span></div>

They just opened their luxury salon and makeup studio at block 12 E, Plot B, </span><span style="font-size: large;">Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1. The models looked beautiful, makeup was done to perfection, nicely detailed. Go check them out there are discounts for jobs booked at the booth. Here are some pictures</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next was Stella's addiction, her booth was really attractive portraying her theme colour of black and a hint of purple and pictures of her work are on display, really loved it. Different makeup products from Urban decay to Sam Fine, Sleek, MakeUp Forever and more are available to see and purchase. Two things that jumped out at me at the booth were Sam Fine's 'The Basics of Beauty' dvd and Magnolia makeup pigments. I think i went to makeup heaven right there and then, so it is settled, i am getting them without blinking an eye. Go check out her booth.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next port of call was at Yellow Velvet owned by </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Itohan</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">. Let me just say that her cakes are delicious, scrumptious, tastealicious and all the ious you can think of. Just a taste melts in your mouth. I have tasted her cup cakes a number times in chocolate, vanila and red velvet. Her red velvet cake where do i begin with the red velvet cake. I have tasted a few but her own is one word, sinful, moist and sinful. She made my birthday cake last year which was a sponge cake and it was a mixture of chocolate, vanila and red velvet. I can never forget that cake in my life, never ever. Okay enough drooling, her booth, Yellow Velvet can be found at the back but you can't miss it, it is all yellow, bright and sunny and she has samples on display and to taste, go there and taste her cakes and tell me it is not the best you have ever tasted. If you say otherwise then i will say 'na beef dey worry you'. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">FACE: To the prep i used mismag as an anti-shine serum, then Mary Kay foundation primer. </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Next i mixed 507 Mary Kay foundation with Rimmel Dare To Bare face and body luminizer (liquid </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">bronzer) to make her face glow, then Zaron oil control mineral loose powder for a matte look. </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">For the blush i used a gold bronzer but if you want more colour then you can use a red or coral blush </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">like Zaron duo blush in Raspberry or Pink Poodle.</span></div>

I never tried it but read lots of good reviews about it. Now MOM is not something you easily get here in Nigeria but i did see one in my local drug store and it goes for N1200 or N1500 there about. If prices are to be compared between how much it is sold abroad and how much it is here, then i would say it is a bit expensive. The good news is we have our own cheaper local version which we call Mismag, which goes from N200 upwards. I bought one and decided to try it, what can i say, IT WORKS. I used it on a day out, first applied it all over t-zones and as i was applying it i felt it soaking and drying out the oil on my face, i mean my face felt bone dry. I used a little not to over do it and then i put on my foundation, powder and every other thing and i was good to go. It was hot that day to make testing complete. Now before when i put on foundation and powder alone my face would start to look like i applied the wrong shade of foundation cause it would change colour, even if i used another foundation it would be the same problem and it looked like i literary sprayed oil on my face, became fustrated and finally gave up on foundation and powder until now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When i use mismag as my anti shine serum and face primer the result it gives me is perfection. Hardly any oil and my foundation looks flawless 'yesss'. Even when i sweat i still look good. So it is official this is my go to anti-shine serum and face primer that i will be using it on my clients and myself. It is cheap, easily available and there is plenty of it in the bottle to go round. I really can't get over the fact that all this while this readily available constipation drug was the answer to oily skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will put up before and after pictures so you can see the result but please try it and let me know how it works for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">NOTE: it might not work on some people as we all have different skin types.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03951138510235097267noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626448132875400676.post-40120821253401562052012-11-12T07:01:00.000-08:002012-11-12T07:05:27.674-08:00Milk of magnesia now a cure for oily skin?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There has been a great buzz going on on the internet that Milk of Magnesia, the oral medicine used for curing constipation, indigestion and heartburn, is now being used as a face primer. It is said to be the miracle worker to soak up oil from the skin and reduce pimples. I mean people have reviewed they literally put this on their face before foundation and have claimed they had no shine for up to 6 or 8 hours, even to reducing their pores so that without any makeup their bare skin looks naturally less oily than before and acne are a thing of the past. Some other reviews were negative though, some claimed it didn't work at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well the positive reviews are more than the negative which means i am going to try it to see if it works. This piece of news is exciting and i can't wait to see the results.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Watch out for my next post on my personal experience with the Milk of Magnesia. Please share your own experience if you have tried it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

What is that? In the beginning when i started my makeup career 4 years ago i only knew about sponges, brushes and fingers to apply foundation to the face. At first it worked for me until i began to realise i wasn't satisfied with the finished look, it wasn't flawless enough. Then i discovered the term airbrushed look and how it could be achieved using an airbrush gun, specially made for applying foundation, blush, even eyeshadow, but looking at my budget i knew it was something i wasn't ready to invest in. They are usually expensive and they come with their own special foundations and what not. I also asked myself how many people would pay for such services, believe me not much.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After much research on the internet i discovered the one thing that would give me what i want without hurting my pocket or my clients 'big grin'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The stippling brush is a duo fiber brush that can be used to apply liquid foundation, blush, bronzer and powder. It gives a light application due to the fact that it isn't densely packed and is spread out, but the most beautiful thing about this brush is that it gives an airbrush look when applying liquid foundation. I got one for myself, used it and could not believe the flawlessness of the finished look. I am officially in love.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The way the stippling brush is used to apply liquid foundation is totally different from the usual way a foundation brush, sponge or fingers are used. This i will explain more in my next post (how to use it and the finished look).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see my BMPRO brush has been used, the bristles are usually white and black (the white part of the brush is longer and the black part is shorter). The brush is of good quality and doesn't shed. Not sure what the hair is made of but i believe the hair is real and not synthetic. After using it i was quite satisfied with the result. A bit pricey but i was lucky to get it at a discount from BMPRO studio<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 23px;">, Dolphin Estate Lagos.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 23px;">That is my little experience with a stippling brush, still have more to explore in terms of blush and bronzer application. Leave comments and let me know your own experience with this miracle worker.</span></span></div>
