HAPPY NEW YEAR.......EXCLUSIVE BIG EVENT, GIVEAWAYS!!!!



Happy New Year Folks,  

 Welcome to a new dispensation and I wish you nothing but good health, Joy, Abundance and Fruitfulness. Above all, I pray that all your ways please God.

So, how many of us have long papers filled with resolutions…..smh! I won’t even bother telling you mine because I don’t need evidence against me in the event I fall short. But by His grace, I will succeed; we shall all succeed; just stay true to your dream.


At this point, I want to caution us this year. As we are planning to be great, remember, some are planning to ensure that we fail. They will come in different forms and with different stories, please be wise, be vigilant, and do not be greedy. Especially we artists, stylists and such others.
Take a listen, about a week ago, I got a call from a scammer telling me there was a NNPC job. You see, I was to do makeup for 46 ushers in 3 days. And after they conclude the Lagos aspect, we will move to Port Harcourt, and Abuja……you can do the math guys, I was supposed to be chilling at the Bahamas after this 'big job'. 
The guy even guided me as to how much to quote sef. Ladies and gentlemen, it turned out to be a scam. I even recorded our conversation. I won't go into details but I beg you, PLEASE BE CAREFUL! Don’t jump at every offer thinking it might be the golden opportunity you are waiting for. Be discerning…..these are the days of Elijah ooooo *nuff said*

Moving on, I had a tutorial ready for us by first week of January, but I mistakenly deleted the pictures. I am yet to recover from the shock, but I will try to redo it for you guys. In the interim, I’ll just leave you with these pictures(below), and product listings. Writing this is giving me an inspiration for my next post. I’ll talk about all the products that made 2015 happen for me.

Also, FYI, one of the most exclusive beauty events will be taking place in February….blackUp is coming to town baby!!! Last year, they had an amazing giveaway offer(40% off) and lots of freebies.
Anyways, this event is bound to be turnt(as usual). You will get to mingle with all the gurus of the Nigerian Makeup Industry. You might get to sit with Lola Maja, or even share a selfie with Dave Sucre. Christine Creations, maybe Iposh looks or even @SitPretty might be your seat partner while you guys get busy swatching top of the line nail polish. 
Or, how about you and JoyceJacob exchanging tips like old buddies over sumptuous desserts, cocktails and champagne…
Just imagine, BmPro, ShoMya, Bayo Haastrup, and then, wait for it…David Coranson, the blackUp artist himself, all the way from Paris, in one building!!!! I think I just had #MakeupGasm!!!!

Trust me guys, if you get invited to this shindig, I mean, if an invite just somehow appears at your residence, e mean say #Godwin; no be small tin o.

So, here’s what we’ll do. Because I appreciate you all and I always want to give back; for the rest of the year, in case you are new, and if you are a regular visitor, just keep following this blog, keep commenting, keep sharing, keep inviting your friends here and we will definitely be rewarding your loyalty frequently. Trust me, apart from the regular giveaways, how does a free pass to attend this sort of exclusive event sound? Y’heard? I’ll be watching.
But to kick start this year, Brushes N Colours will be offering its first training for the year at 15% off! Not only that, we also have a photography course available in our outline this year, featuring guest photographers!!! 
It gets better...upgrades are also available for this session!!!
This year is sure bound to be the best yet... I know! 

So, for further details, call 08028983426, Mondays to Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. 
Serious Calls only guys. No texts, no whatsapp.
