Black Soap #Team Natural

Today, my post is on naturals. Black soap, #dudu osun# as the Yoruba's call it.
Black soap is a locally produced soap in Nigeria, i think the Ghanaians have their own, but i ll be talking about the Nigerian version . it is made from cocoa pod ash and Shea butter,the westerns (the Yoruba) are known to produce this soap.

WHY I STARTED USING BLACK SOAP:
I started using black soap in secondary school, i just loved the fact that it foamed plenty and there is this freshness you feel when u bath with it,no special purpose for using it then, when your parents buy for you as part of toiletries to return to school.
      Later in life, as i grew older  i realised my facial skin was so sensitive, that i reacted to every little thing i used but my body is like that of a baby. My facial skin gave me so much concern that i had to find a way out, i finally settled for the black soap again.
One of my senior friends gave me one of hers to use, i tried it but, it was little harsh on my facial skin, but to be sincere, it had a positive effect on my skin, it was visible that my friends asked me what i was using, when i said black soap, they were like "sai the truth joor" but sincerely, its black soap.
Because, i didn't like the harshness on my face, i decided to mix mine to be very sure of the ingredients,like i said earlier, the raw is produced in the west, i got the raw form and did my mixture, those that know me well will agree that in recent times, my facial skin is doing great.am loving the journey of natural products.i gave a few friends that trusted my mixture and today, i have people spreading the good news.
   So i have people selling the soap, as they believe in the naturals.

MY MIXTURE :
I know some people are wondering, what are the mixtures, we have two types
a)the raw black soap, aloevera juice,honey, lemon juice, essential oil
b)the raw black soap,aloevera juice,lemongrass, essential oil
they both have preservatives, i used a broad spectrum preservative,if you have water based ingredients in your cosmetics mixture, you  need to preserve them from bacteria, yeast and fungi, which you may not see with your eyes and they are harmful, could cause you skin infections.

So, if you have sensitive skin like me, you can try the second mixture,the first mixture is perfect for those fighting acne and dark spots but they are both very good and healthy.

OTHER USES OF BLACK SOAP
.
1)Exfoliation
2)Hair shampoo, yes shampoo, it helps with itchy scalp

REVLON COLORSTAY FOUNDATION

If you have oily skin and you are looking for a water based foundation to suit your skin, this is a good one.
Revlon foundation ; full coverage, water based, oil free, 24hrs stay, buildable, my best part, is light weight.

Packaging : it comes in a bottle jar, heavy and fragile,if it slams on the floor, be sure it will break.
My worst part, it doesnt come with a pump, you have to pour out foundations,which u might end up, pouring out, more than  you need, and returning might cause an infection.

Verdict : for me, the foundation is lovely,for every bride i have used it on ,calls to ask for the name and where to purchase,its wearable without primers. But, the big but, i have to match colors to get my shade (caramel + Cappuccino) ...... if you wish to try the foundations, please,refer to my previous post for shade selector.

Price ; It retails for N3600 - 4500,

If you are in ABUJA you can get at giftys daughter at wuse 2, sticks and stones plaza or www.mymakeupng.com
Have you tried this foundation? What shade are you?

EYEBROW DEFINER BY HEGAI&ESTHER

Hello everyone,
Is being so long a time, i have being super busy and super lazy to post, before you ll say am always apologizing, am sorry ....
Today, i ll be doing a review on an eyebrow definer owned by a Nigerian, this is a home brand, Hegai&Esther is owned by Gbemisola Ademola Adebayo, Lagos based beautician,(story short).
I came across the brow definer when sitpretty beauty displayed on instagram, then i was planning on getting the Anastasia DipBrow, the price was amazing compare to the Anastasia dipbrow, so i called the CEO,i got one and tried it.
Seriously, it was not over hped.

Packaging ; For me, packaging is really cool,it comes in a plastic glass container, brand label is boldly crested on the the cover, as you can see. it also comes with an applicator, slightly angled.

Product : The product itself is lovely, its creamy, yet light weight, this makes application easy, it just goes in, and it doesnt dry so fast, it allows you to blend properly and correct mistakes. the best part, it suites all skin tones, whether you are dark ,brown, fair, white, its perfect.
as you can see,it fills in well, unlike some pencils, that create skeleton on your brow after filling, this is awesome.

Price : the retail price is N2,000. If you are looking for where to purchase this, check at Hegai&Esther.com or you can buy from our studio Beauty Bylavita studio at wuse zone 2. Abuja.

Final Say, i ll stock this product, again and again, i love it
