One of the many ways to do your brows.

Image
Today I present another post but this one shows you an eyebrow regime that I tried out a couple of hours ago. What I used in this video: Brown gel liner Black gel liner Angled eyebrow/liner brush Brow gel mascara You can also try a brown brow pomade and clear brow gel or regular brown mascara. For the brush you can use a flat brush or a lip brush although it will be a bit more difficult and would require a light stroking technique because of its shape. The look may seem a bit harsh but when I show you a close up then it looks good. So without further ado, let's get to it. Soz for the quality but I filmed on my phone, was a tad bit lazy there. LOL for the thumbnail.                    

Colour in Winter.

Image
Are you afraid of colour?? I once was too.  Winter is the best season for browns, beige, and you get the drill.. If you're very new to the whole colour thing then best way to get started is by dipping your whole foot in before you go full on colour this Winter.. A simple way to keep it clean and chic is by wearing everything else colour coordinated then boom! Pink shoes or mustard skirt. Another way is to add a coloured scarf with matching earrings or shoes. Doesn't sound too crazy right? I know girrrrl. What I do most of the time is wear 50 shades of one colour. Inspired by Betty haha. Below I will show you how you can play with colour without it being too overwhelming. Now this skirt does make me look like Kim when she was 8 months pregnant but what the hell hey? I don't care. I have that kind of an attitude. Thank you for reading and follow me on IG at @nishaatsalaamalaikom

LA Girl Flat Finish Pigment Gloss dupe

Image
REVIEW time.  This is a basic swatch picture for you guys.  So this Baolishi is basically a dupe for the LA Girl Flat Finish Pigment Gloss. Let me tell you something! I find that this is better than the Kylie, Anastasia Beverley Hills and Huda dupes because the application is a lot more pigmented and less sticky as well. You may find some of the dupes being rather a bit sticky.  I like this product because it is a nice matt liquid lipstick and is cheap bc you know how expensive these things can get. Great thing about this is that it does not even dry your lips and make it feel like there is a famine going down on those lips! If you're from South Africa and are looking for these then drop a comment below and I can hook you up.

Customizing dollar/R5 store lashies.

Image
Hello beauties! Today we are customizing our own cheapie lashies. Now, I say cheapies because this is the dollar/R5 store type of lashies that you normally walk past. I felt the need to take this task under my wing and DIY it so that all of us can try it. (I have always been the type to take one for the team). Anyway, let us get started! Picture 1. You will need: -2 or more pairs of thin band lashes (natural looking) -A pair of scissors -Strong hold eyelash glue (24hr) -Tweezers -Mascara Picture 2. You start off by applying glue on the lash band then waiting about 15-20 seconds before sticking another lash band to the first one. Picture 3. Carefully put another lash above the one with adhesive on and line the bands very closely to each other. You can move onto the next set while the first set dries. Picture 4. Cut the eyelash according to the length of your own lash taking into consideration that you will not be sticking the lash right into the front corn...

So basic ally... Haha, see what I did there? Ever since I met the I Love Extreme mascara, I have not been using any other mascara when I want to go for a fuller, longer lash look. This mascara is basically an Essence brand mascara which means that it is quite inexpensive but is very good quality at the same time. You can apply more than one coat of this mascara but also remember to keep an eyelash brush/comb close by to avoid clumping because ew, right? I start my application from the base to help lift the lashes since I don't have an eyelash curler. (Throwing shade since Christmas is coming up!) I paid under R70 for this mascara, I think. You can grab it from Clicks and Dischem, as far as I remember. You can also check them out online at  https://essencemakeup.com I hope you lovelies try this out and if you already have it, let me know what you think about this product and how you apply it to those beautimiss lashies!
