Hi guys, how are you all doing?

Does Fenty Beauty ship to Nigeria? Good question!

If you're a makeup lover and enjoy @fentybeauty makeup products .......well....I recently discovered that FentyBeauty ships DIRECTLY to Nigeria 🇳🇬!

This is a good development because you don't have to worry anymore about spending a lot of money on products only to discover that you were sold fakes!!!

I've been in this place several times! Very annoying 😒.

It's even more scary because I have very sensitive skin!

Do you know something?

I learnt that what some sellers do is... they sell you the original products of popular brands the first time you buy to establish trust....and then subsequently, they mix in some fakes so they can make more profit.

How diabolical! 😱 😨 😱 

Sha....as I have so many things on my mind than  looking out for fakes products, I resorted to purchasing my products directly from the brand websites and have them shipped to me via this shipping company

I had run out of my foundation and was perusing the Fentybeauty website when a pop up let me know that they ship directly to Nigeria.

To test this out, I ordered the above foundation on their website.

It was quite straightforward and they would show you exactly how much shipping to your address is.

I paid using PayPal.

After 2 days, I got an email with my receipt and tracking information from GlobalE...which is the company FentyBeauty use for international shipping.

The email contained a link which directed me to the site for tracking my order.

I waited patiently!

1 week.....2 weeks....3 weeks..........4 weeks......oga o! 

I began worried after the 4th week and no call.

Being my first time ordering at their site, I was kinda scared.

I didn't know what carriers they were using to ship and so I was scared that my package would get missing. 

I didn't receive much information about the whereabouts of my order other than it had passed customs in Nigeria. 

Oya, na....where's my product???

I usually do my international shopping with a shipping company called BPBeauty and get my products in 2 weeks!

I've been using them for more than 4 years without trouble and unnecessary extra expenses and custom charges!

So, I was kinda expecting that my products should have gotten to me in like 3 weeks at most!

Like I said earlier, FentyBeauty ships internationally with a company called GlobalE....and to be honest, their website was designed to prevent one from communicating with them!

I could only access a Contact form and after typing in my enquiry, I received absolutely no response!!!!

I went back to FentyBeauty website and contacted their customer care agent.

 The lady I was assigned to was quite nice and prompt in replying and allaying my fears.

However, the information she gave me concerning the whereabouts of my package was no different from the cryptic one on GlobalE page.

 I was relieved when I was called by the local Post Office to pick up my package!

It took 36 days to get to me when it usually takes 2 weeks via BPBeauty.

At least, I can confidently place larger orders to take advantage of the FREE shipping on orders more than $75.

However, 36 days is too long for a lot to go wrong with my order....lol....and there's the issue of custom charges which aren't really fixed.

Well, that's it for now until I'm ready for the review of the FentyBeauty Hydrating Foundation.

Here's the review of other foundations I've tried.

If you have any questions, please ask away in the comments 

I keep saying hair always grows! If it doesn't, you'll be bald!

If it breaks faster than it grows, you will be stuck at the same length.

If you grow out 1 inch and lose 1 inch, the net growth you'll see will be zero!

Hair growth pills and oils may improve growth but if you grow extra inches and lose them to breakage...net growth is zero! 

So, how do you avoid breakage????

I have an E-book in which I shared the secrets to preventing breakage!

I've used these tips to grow my hair waistlength even though my hair is fine textured, feather weight and easily breaks!

If I can, you can too!

Hi guys,

Here are some styling ideas for minitwists on natural hair!

Hi people, what's been on?

I know, I know! 

Why haven't I been blogging? 

To be honest, I feel that you all know a lot about natural hair already so what else should I write about?!

I started a YouTube channel late last year to demonstrate many of the natural hair routines I blogged about in hopes that it would help those who prefer videos.

I've also been pretty up to date on Instagram so if you still enjoy natural hair content, you can join me there.

For my hair, I'm still natural....and nothing much will change in that department...lol.

I'm also still doing wash'n'gos. 

 You see this protective style called wash and go? It has helped me maintain my fine textured hair past waist length. 

I usually don't stretch, pick or fluff my hair  in a wash'n' go to reduce manipulation so my hair stays shrunken at around nape to slightly grazing my shoulders..and I'm perfectly fine with it. 

My wash 'n' gos last between 3-4 weeks and a lot of ladies ask how I keep my hair moisturized and prevent the gel cast from flaking.

Well, one important tip that helps is using moisturisers that combine well with my styling gel.

Doing so makes it easy to layer on moisturisers on your wash'n'gos without the risk of flaking. 

How do I know what works?

Well, these photos could explain it more....

 Sometimes, water alone to refresh an old wash'n'go doesn't do it for me and I need a moisturising product that would play nicely with the gel I used to create my wash'n'go without creating flakes.❄❄❄

I've found the solution in Afrobynature Twist & Curl Styling Creme.

 It's a dual use styler that moisturises at the same time provides hold for defined styles such as twistouts, braidouts, bantu knot outs etc.

However, the hold is not strong enough to use alone for my wash'n'gos (I have Type 4 hair)......so I use it in combination with my styling gels.

This product works amazingly well in combination with other stylers/gels.....without creating little beads of white flakes in my hair!

 It also has very good slip so I can re-style frizzy bits of my hair without worrying about tangling. 

I totally recommend giving it a try if you have issues with moisturising your wash'n'go.

I'd also like to know if you have experienced flaking when combining products.

Please share the product combos too, so we'll take note 👌👍
