THE RHEDRUBY: #BEAUTYBLOGGER

MY FAVOURITE BLOGS

#BEAUTYBLOGGER Saturday, June 27, 2015

As a blogger and a Cybernaut (someone who likes using the Internet a lot), I find myself always searching for new blogs to read or constantly checking a few others for updates/new posts.

I decided to share a few I love to read, why I love them and other thoughts about their blogs.

Do enjoy and try to check them out!

THE FASHION ENGINEER

Owned by Sayedero Enytan, this is definitely a blog to follow by fashion and beauty lovers.

I love her sense of style and the creativity expressed on her blog.

I also love the scriptures she adds to her posts like I do to :D

We all need more of Jesus don't you think?

IRONY OF ASHI

This blog is owned by Agatha Ashiofu. We attended the same High school but we do not keep in touch.

That does not stop me from checking out her blog as often as I can.

Agatha or Amaka as I know her is a Fashion guru! Her sense of style is to die for!

I also love the fresh look her blog has. Simple, clean and beautiful!

Check her out!

AKINTAYOTIMI

I met Akintayo over 4 years ago. I remember when he started wedding photography and it was lovely seeing a friend fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian photography industry.

His work is amazing!

His blog is remarkable as well, Great work right there!

SHIRLEY'S WARDROBE

Owned by the very lovely and pretty Shirley Bassey Eniang. I found her YouTube page initially before I started following her blog.

She blogs about fashion and makeup.

Her blog has a fresh and appealing appearance as well.

THAT IGBO CHICK

This beauty blog is owned by Dinma Umeh. She is not just one of my favourite beauty bloggers but also my favourite Youtuber!

Very creative lady here.

THE STYLE HIVE

Alero Arafiena is not just my girlfriend but she is a sister, Lol!

She is Stylish and creative with a nice sense of humour expressed on her blog.

CHLOE'S MAKEOVER

I love Doyin Ubani's blog because of her very lovely 'look of the day'

FASHSTYLELIV-

I just love to see what is new in her makeup review section. She does that so well!
Fresh and savvy blog appearance too; Love it so much!!

LIFEGIVA

If you need a place to laugh and release tension after a long day please go here.

Tolulope Abraham is the most talented writer I know.

I love his blend of love, relationships and Christian/bible issues.

He is not afraid to write about controversial issues and he is a plethora of knowledge

SMART MONEY with Arese

Arese, just like Tolulope is another intelligent and talented blogger.

Her blog as the name implies is about adequately planning/managing funds and finances.

SMART MONEY! SMART FINANCE!

She adds stories to her finance lessons to make it as interesting as any other fun and friendly blog; you are better off reading her's because you learn even more!

DOBBY'S SIGNATURE

Dobby’s Signature is a Nigerian culinary and Lifestyle blog.

The best food blog in Nigeria in my opinion. She also has a You tube page.

AFRICANISM COSMOPOLITAN

TOSIN ALABI runs this blog. She blogs about beauty and fashion.... oh strike that! She blogs about a lot more. She truly is a versatile blogger which includes her faith.

This may be why I am very fond of her blog as I blog about a lot of issues including my faith.

Her blog has a very appealing appearance and her YouTube page is equally as interesting as the blog.

"The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when the reaper will be overtaken by the ploughman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills"

Face Foundation review- Thoughts on all i have used!

#BEAUTYBLOGGER Wednesday, March 04, 2015

Holla rubys,

Having a fabulous week I believe? Good then!

I love makeup and throughout my lifetime, loll,(I am very young by the way) I have tried out a lot of beauty brands and products.

I try to be careful and selective because of the very sensitive nature of my skin.

I have tried about 10-11 different foundations and this post is about my thoughts on SOME of these products.

1. Dark and lovely

This was my first foundation. I know or THINK *shrugs* it is Dark and lovely. It had a powder too and the foundation was compact.

I can't really remember much about it, think it melted and I threw it away. Oh well on to the next one.

2. Mary kay foundation

I do not think there is any lady that loves makeup, that has not used this foundation. It was my best friend in year 2009 and early 2010.

I began to dislike this foundation (when my eyes finally opened) as it was just too oily for me. It also gave me a very 'cakey' and overly done look. I have never gone back to using this foundation but I think I would try out the new matte one- The time wise foundation.

3. Bobbi brown long wear ever finish foundation

My girlfriend in my final year in Uni.

I remember how excited I used to be once it was time for my makeup routine. the excitement was just because of this foundation.

It is long wearing as the name implies and has a velvety yet matte finish.

Come to think of it, I do not know why I did not repurchase this....oh yea, the price! hehe! Quite pricey girl we have here ladies. $43?! Nexxxxxxxxxt!!!!!

4. Iman luminous compact foundation

This one left me with rashes and spots!!! Urgh! It gives a lovely glow but not an all day product at all!!

I doubt if I would repurchase this particular type, I may just go for their oil control foundation which would be more appropriate.

5. Mac studio fix fluid

YOU KNEW MAC JUST HAD TO BE ON THE LIST YEAH? YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD COME IN FIRST RIGHT? LOL! OH WELL!

The Mac studio fix was my first ever Mac foundation. I got the shade Nw43 as suggested by them artistes in Mac store. Wronggggg shade! Irk!

Anyway I loved this foundation and I still do :p

I mean it gives that glow and luminous look; however it is a bit too oily for my skin (n)

6. Revlon colour stay foundation

I use the shade- caramel. This is an amazing foundation for combination/oily skin.

It has a form of smell as you apply it but in less than 20seconds the smell is gone.

It does not feel heavy on my face and yes very affordable.

You should try it out :d

7. Mac studio fix

I got this again but in the right shade; NC 50

The studio fix fluid contains sunscreen.

8. Mac matchmaster foundation

This is my all time favourite! It contains sunscreen (SPF 15) and is long wearing and has a matte finish. I went for the shade number 7.5 to match my neck and body. My face is a lot lighter than the rest of my body. So I never match my foundation with my face tone.

I love the pump for application unlike the studio fix fluid.

9. Maybelline fit me foundation

I got this less than a year ago and I regret getting it.

It oxidizes like crazy! Too oily, makes me look orangey, cakey..... urghhhhh! everything is just wrong and I just left it lying lazy in my makeup bag.

10. And we are back to my Mac match master foundation.

If you have tried any of these products, do share your thoughts or any foundation you think I should try, do tell :)

P.S- I have very sensitive skin with the oily T-zone!

Thank you for always stopping by.

Muaaaaaaaah!!!

Beauty picks by Leylarh Cadne

#BEAUTYBLOGGER Friday, February 13, 2015

Hey Rubys,

Happy Valentines day!

Today's post is a feature of one of my favourite makeup artists and her top beauty products.

She is Laila Rahman; an amazing makeup artist and beauty blogger

If you missed the post on my favourite makeup artists, HERE IT IS :D

The post also contains more about her and pictures of her works as an artist.

Here are the products she loves and why.

1. Revlon Colorstay Foundation - It gives a dewy finish but turns matte when you add some powder over it.

The staying power is incredible and the coverage is amazing.

2. Coconut Oil(For hair) - It contains Fats which is good for the hair.

It can be used as a moisturizer for both the hair and skin. When applied, it makes my curls Pop. It can be mixed with your deep Conditioner and added to your hair mist.
