Five Things I’m Loving Lately.

Just a few things I’m loving lately.


– Gbemisoke Shoes.

Red court shoes have always been somewhere at the top of my wishlist so I was really excited to receive this pair of gbemisoke shoes courtesy of kaymu. I love that Gbemisoke is doing it for the big feet girls like me and also that its a home grown brand. Unboxing these shoes was a delight! Though It was a bit tight (#tallgirlproblems) but nothing I can’t solve by oiling up my feet a bit.
I haven’t worn it out yet but this festive season might just be the right opportunity to add a touch of red.

– Maybelline Powder.

This is my first ‘brown powder’ ever so I can’t really do a proper review or anything but I know that I love it!
I got this at the maybelline stand during fashion week for free – I’m not sure why but they were giving out samples and also helping match the shade.
My sisters and I like to call it a magic powder because though they said its a perfect shade for me, it also blends perfectly with both my sisters complexion bearing in mind that one (the sis here) is lighter than me and the other (the sis here) is darker than me. I’m not sure how this works but I love the smooth finish of the powder. Really nice.

– Bvlgari Goldea.

Remember the Dolce & Gabbana launch event I attended the other time and blogged about in my weekend bits post here? Well, I was pleasantly surprised to receive the Bvlgari goldea for no reason at all. No PR stunt (at least that I know of)
I’m not sure I mentioned how nice their brand manager is in that post but thank you Vienne for sending me this perfume because its my absolute favorite scent this year!
It has this rich/expensive scent (if you know what I mean. Lol ) and I love that it lasts the whole day!
My sister stole some the other day, she got home at night and I still smelt it on her. Smh

– Daltimore Bag.

David of Daltimore collections is one
creative mind! I’m in love with his fashion style and lately his designs as well. I reviewed his first collection on the blog here and no sooner than that was out, he delved into hand made denim totes and draw string bags
I got this as a birthday gift and here’s me saying goodbye to proper handbags for a while. Thanks David!
He’s a part of the vendors at Socialiga so you can go cop something for yourself.

– Zaron Matte Lipstick.

I got this in my goodie bag from the lagos bloggers brunch.
After hurriedly looking through my bag when I got home, I knew that this was going to be the most used item in there, if not the only one.
I’m not quite sure if its wine red or just a deep purple but its a welcome relieve this harmattan season from my beyond beauty wine red lipstick which I love as well but is so hard to get off your lips once applied. This zaron lipstick cleans off well and applies well too.
And that’s it for this episode of “five things I’m loving lately”. Lol
