Hope you had a Great Week, mine was Super Busy, shared a lot of what I got up to on Insta Stories.
Last Weekend was Awesome, my friends and family members surprised me on Saturday, I played at Atinuda on Friday and I stocked up on Beauty Products on Sunday.
I visited the Lagos Make up Fair for the First time in 2014 and wrote a post about my haul here. I bumped into some of the same vendors from then and patronised them again.
This time around I had a budget of 15k and a list of products I wanted to get.
Pond's Primer: N3,500
I've used a number of Primers over the years from Zaron to Maybelline, Elf and Benefit. I decided to try out Pond's as the make up artiste that beat my face in these pictures used it and I saw it on Toyosi's insta stories. Have you used it before? What did you think? What is your favourite primer?
Zaron Longer Gel Eyeliner: N2,500
It costs significantly less at the Zaron store but they have run out of Black so I just had to buy it from the only vendor that had it at a premium price. This is my favourite gel eyeliner, it doesn't smudge and the pot can last for over a year. Have you tried the elf, maybelline or hegai and esther one? If yes, what did you think of it? Do you prefer liquid, pencil or gel eyeliner?
Egg Brush: N700
Never used one before but I hear it makes the process of washing make up brushes easier. Remember my post showing how I wash my brushes, hope this shortens the time it takes.
Maybelline Mascara: N2,000 for 2
I haven't used this particular one but I have used a couple of their mascara's before. Check out the ones I've tried in this post and this post? After walking around the fair a second time, I realised another stall had a bowl full of different types of maybelline mascara's at sale for 1k so I could have even stuck to my old favourites. It's all good though, I know this one would work great.
Lime Crime Liquid Lipstick in Wicked: N2,000
Giveaway Price and I love the colour, it's a deep wine.
Glitter N300 from @ShopSisiNg
I've been seeing a lot of people put it on their lips. Hope it looks cute on me
Davis Eyebrow Pencil: N1,000 for a pack of 12
I thought this was a pretty good deal as most places sell 1 pencil for N100-200. I hung out with Toyosi at the fair and she got her pack for N600 at Lagos Island the day before. She bought her Pond's at N5,500 so I made up my loss there.
Eyelashes and Glue: N1,000
Romantic lip colour : N500La Colours: N1,000 for 2
MUA Lip Gloss: N1,000
Four of the five lip products I got are different shades of pink, I like the way pink looks on my lips. I also like the way red looks so will get some red lip glosses next time I shop.
Did any of you attend the make up fair? If yes, what did you get? Where do you tend to do your make up shopping? Do you use any of these products?
This was a good haul! The only thing I can use here is the eye pencil and gel liner.loool
ReplyDeleteHopefully, I learn this make up thing before the year runs out.
