Paint My Lip PURPLE: Jordana "Fiesta" Lippie

I never thought I'd be the type to follow trends especially when it comes to a fashion item such as lipstick. Dark lip colours especially purple are very much in vogue this season, and I caught the bug. Since then, I've been patiently wishing for a dark purple lip shade, and a not too pricey one as well. The others I know like Mac's Rebel happen to be quite pricey here in Lagos, Nigeria. My wish was granted when I went make-up shopping and sighted this beauty in purple starring at me...Jordana's Fiesta Lipstick

Unarguably, purple is one of the in colors of the season, its almost everywhere. There are different shades of purple but the most common recently used for lipsticks is the dark/deep purple shade.

I didn't use it immediately even though I had my heart already won over by two of Jordana's red shades : True Red and Holiday Red. It was just lying fallow in my make up purse until one bright morning. Jordana's Fiesta is one of the rarest of its kind.

Jordana Fiesta Lippie

In the tube, it looks like deep/dark purple but when applied on the lip, it gives a dark magenta finish. The texture is soft and creamy. It doesn't leave lips chapped and rough, in fact, what you will get is a smooth sleek finish once you can apply it with a lip brush. I had to apply, wipe and apply again like four times to get the deep purple effect I wanted but I promise you, Its worth the time...hehehe

Regardless of the process you might have to go through before you can get the shade I've got on or deeper if you like, its a beautiful shade, suits my skin tone effortlessly and it smells yummyyummy good. It also has a long staying power for its price (between 300Naira &500Naira) in any Balogun Market, Lagos Island, Nigeria, depending on your 'pricing' skills. I totally love this about it.

What do you think? I'll be glad to hear from you...muah.

AWAITING OUR OWN MAX - LESSON FROM 'ELYSIUM'

By Bamidele Salako If you’re yet to see Elysium, one of the rave-making blockbuster movies of this summer, then I advise you grab a copy now or get to the nearest cinema ASAP (it’s still showing in theatres) where you can be accorded the ultimate movie viewing experience – if you can afford it lol. Don’t get me wrong o! This is not a paid advertisement or promo for the movie or for film houses; Elysium is simply a must-watch, not just for movie aficionados but for all Nigerians who are burdened by the seemingly never changing state of affairs in our dear country – our intractable unpleasant collective existence which has unwittingly produced the popular enduring mantra – “E go better.” Except on very special occasions, I am not one to go to the movies for the sheer pleasure of it. It’s not in my culture. My best moments are the ones I spend alone reading good books or surfing the internet for an eclectic array of great opinion pieces, news features, a...

Asoebi: Felicitation or Burden?

It's the start of the weekend and boy am I excited. I can imagine you on the other hand have an event or a list of events lined up to make your weekend interesting. I'm just going to be in my room, on my bed, sipping cocoa, indulging in my favourite pastime activity; blogging, reading and listening to classical music, don't hate. #noteverytimeturnup. But for now, I'll share with you a little something something. So, as I stepped out of church on one sunday like that, I bumped into a childhood friend. Looking at how grown she looked made me realise I don old sha! If you are a catholic like I am, you will agree with me that not all your catheticism classmates remain in the fold as you grow. Many will leave to find their salvation elsewhere, personal reasons or relocation. This was why I was shocked when I saw my old friend. What had she come to do, I quizzed my mind. Then it occurred to me that only one thing could bring her back, at this time. Wedding?
