Updated Facial skincare Products 2016

Hello my parfaitly beautiful people. Its been a minute (lets not even get into how many people have yelled at me for not updating my blog) I have been meaning to do this post on my facial skincare products cos I have changed up quite a bit of products. Sometime last year my skin went into major over drive. I was breaking out left right and center and I did not know what to do. To be honest I was mildly depressed about it and it greatly contributed to my not doing picture tutorials and even videos.
Long story short, I decided to edit my products and see what wasn't working anymore.Without rambling on about my facial sufferings let proceed to the new MVPs lol

LIP SWATCH TIME featuring KIKE's BEAUTY HUB

Hello Parfait beauties, trust everyone is doing well. I am currently going through a phase where I am obsessed with highlighters and lip colours. I was super happy when Kike of Kike's Beauty Hub sent me some lip goodies and I just had to swatch and review for all you beautiful people.

Product Review - MAKEUP REVOLUTION LONDON

Hello parfait beauties. Trust everyone is doing well and getting into the Easter spirit. I have always been an eyeshadow girl but of recent I have been getting more and more into lip products especially lip glosses. Everyone loves a matte lip I agree but every time I put on some lip gloss I always remember how seductively sultry it makes the lips (when worn the right way of course, I will do a post on this later)

Happy New year (Update)

Happy new year Parfait Beauties. I know I deserve to be flogged for always being M.I.A. There is a good reason for this particular disappearance (No, I am not making excuses) I am actually really active on my Instagram page (@parfaitvisage) and I recently started a youtube channel (yaaay!) Yes I conquered my fear and went for it. I also opened my own beauty/Makeup studio and it is the best thing that I have done for myself.

PRODUCT REVIEW : BLACKUP

 Hello my beautiful parfait readers, how has everyone been? We are almost at the end of the year. How time flies right? Can't believe I was just laughing at people making new year resolutions because I know they would never keep them and yeah I will laugh at the same set of people again pretty soon Lol.
I recently contacted by  the gorgeous Tola, the Head trainer for Blackup Paris for West Africa ( Click Here to visit her blog) informing me of a package that BlackUp Paris had for me (Yaaay for Makeup Products lol)

The package contained some of the latest products from Blackup that I have actually been meaning to try out. So I was beyond excited when I got them.

BLACKUP PERFECT EYEBROW

What Blackup says
Blackup Perfect Eyebrow, thanks to the perfect design, perfectly defines the eyebrow line.
Its creamy texture guarantees a comfortable application and a powdered finish for an ultra-natural makeup
 I got this in SP02 which is a dark brown.
 The packaging is really cute, from the picture you can see it looks like a lipstick tube.
 The design is a bit funny, one side is pointed and the other is slanted.
I filled in the bottom and top parts of my brow with the pointed side and filled in any gaps with the slanted side.
Its really easy to use provided you are light handed cos you can go overboard if you are not careful.
 I really like this brow product and it lasted the whole day without fading but just a bit concerned on how to use it when the sharp end becomes flat. Maybe I'll use my angled eyebrow brush......will keep you guys posted.
They are available in 3 colours.

WATERPROOF SMOKY MATTE PENCIL
 Now this I was looking forward to trying, because I have used the waterproof smoky kohl pencil which was creamy and super soft so I wanted to know what the 'Matte' was all about.

What Blackup says
The waterproof smoky matte pencil associates a creamy formula and deep colours. This matte finishing must-have enhances the eyes in just one precision stroke, for a professional long lasting look
 I recieved this product in two shades MS07 which is a dark brown and MS01 a bright blue
 The pencils are very pigmented and have a matte finish to them which is different from the smokey kohl pencils that have a creamy (some of them have some shimmer) finish that dries matte.
 I especially love the brown as I have been looking for a pigmented brown eyeliner for my waterline.
These pencils come in 8 colours

2 in 1 LIP PENCIL
 Now these pencils originally came in 12 colours and Blackup recently released 6 new colours and I got two colours in my package.
 What Blackup says
This 2 in 1 pencil (pencil sharpener provided) glides on the lips to both define contours with high precision and coat lips with an intense semi matte veil 
I received JUM14 (light pink) and JUM18 (deep red)

 The pencils are creamy and very easy to apply and you can wear them as a lip colour, they also have a semi matte finish which is good enough for me to be honest. They also come with their own sharpeners attached to the cover.
 They are very pigmented and very long lasting. I wore the pink to a Photo-shoot and it stayed put the entire time and left a beautiful pink stain when I wiped it off with baby-wipes.

I also received a nail polish from their new polish collection which is amazing. Please check them out as the colours range from gorgeous nudes to beautiful reds and purples.
So there you have it my parfait beauties. Hope you found something you liked. I am very impressed with the new products and look forward to future releases by Blackup.

Till my next post, remain Parfait xoxo.
