Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's MAYBELLINE

Hey guys. Light, Love and Sunshine is here again (had some issues, let me warn you, do NOT watch an eclipse in a bowl of water and run down steps in heels. You WILL regret both those actions).

Drugstore retail giant, Maybelline, has come officially to Nigeria! Woohoo, because they are makers of one of the world's most iconic mascaras, Maybelline Great Lash mascara. Maybelline sponsored the just-concluded Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2013, and yours truly worked backstage with the team, and it was great.

The company also kindly shared goodies with the team, so I got to do some brand catch-up:

I played with it first thing next morning (hey, forgive my makeup mistakes, I was 3/4 asleep) and here's how it came out:

 I used the Color Tattoo cream eyeliners on my eyes, Colossal Volume mascara on my lashes, Color Sensational lipsticks in Red and Neon Red on my lips, Eyebrow pencil in dark brown and Pressed Powder in Mocha to contour subtly.

Their Color Tattoo creamliners are PHENOMENAL. I mean, if those liners were a dude, they would be a tall, dark-skinned looker who went to an ivy league university abroad and has a great job in Nigeria and has no commitment issues and thinks you're beautiful after you've woken up from sleeping in a room with no AC. Yup, that good. The Color Tattoo liners last a full 24-hours, models would come back the next day and still have them on, I had to use some cleanser to take it off and they are soooo smooth to apply.

The Color sensational lipsticks are a creamy dream, first swipe give you see-through glossy colour, second swipe full-on power.

Their mascaras, well, you probably own one already, because y'all are Divas.

Check out the line, go shopping and have a Maybelline day!
