Currently listening to ladipoe ft Simi-know you. I have had a long and bitter experience with acne, and for each phase of my acne journey, I longed for a clear skin, although I'm not there yet, I wanted to share all my experience and how I'm curbing it now. I normally have breakouts now and again, but I never quite experienced a terrible one as I did when I went for my NYSC (NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS). Although I can't really say what attributed to the massive breakouts, I observed that when I started using Milk of magnesia (mom), as a primer for my makeup, the pH of my facial skin changed drastically, It started as tiny pimples and then humongous acne, at that time I felt I could cover it up with makeup, but boy was I wrong, I  was doing more harm to my skin. I had to stop MOM as a primer. I was so embarrassed with my skin, I felt insecure, which led to follow any suggestions anyone had to give, I was so desperate that I went to run a blood test and skin tes...

For a number of reasons, I decided to change up my makeup routine, and that included the need to  change and be on the lookout for new foundations that would work for my oily skin. I am someone that likes to stick to what works. I  also wouldn't normally buy stuff without getting a review about it, which is what I did for MAYBELLINE FIT ME, MATTE + PORELESS FOUNDATION. I finally tried this foundation and here's what I observed. CONSISTENCY It has a runny/watery texture,  I had to pour a little carefully on the back of my Palm, to avoid excess spillage.  When I applied to skin, I found out it was lightweight, it didn't feel like I had foundation on. This was very impressive as not a lot of drugstore foundation offers that lightweight feature. COVERAGE   It has a medium coverage, which can be built to a full coverage, it's best to use a concealer with it if you need an extra coverage for spots. I used a pump for all over my face and didn't use a co...

A lot of ladies have accepted the braid wig trend, not just because it's stressfree, it's also a good buy given that braid wigs can last as long as you want it to before replacing it. Since I started making wigs, I discovered that it is proper  maintenance that determines the durability of  your wigs.  Most times, some ladies are faced with a major challenge on how to care properly for their hair units, a weave or a wig . However, caring for our hair units is a vital part of our slayage ( is that even a word ??) and shouldn't be very difficult to do. It's best to see your hair units as investments and your investments(wigs/weave) should be adequately taken care of  regardless of the cost. Braid wigs are easy to maintain without much hassles (because that's the whole point of owning a wig. No stress!) EASY STEPS TO CARE FOR BRAID WIGS Trim the frayed hairs on the each braid first with a pair of scissors.  Dip the braid halfway throug...
