So I want to start this post with a disclaimer, I did not go to make up school o! I do not have any kind professional training  whatsoever when it comes to makeup. I always get the where did you learn to makeup question and I always reply youtube, youtube and lots of practice. I still have a lot to learn but God dey.

I started playing around with makeup because I used to have very bad skin. I was breaking out a lot at the time so I thought that covering everything up with makeup was going to solve the problem (boy was I wrong, smh) It took me a while to realise that for makeup to actually look good, your skin had to look good.

I figured out how to take care of my skin and makeup became nothing but  fun.

From the pictures above, you guys can clearly see that I have a friend from Imo state who is almost white, freckles and all (odiegwu).  The shade of foundation that I used on her face, I probably won't be touching in a long time. Me and my baby Udoka go way back, having a friend who has always been there since your JSS1 is not beans, lol. She was like Dimma are you sure that red lipstick will look good on me? I literally wanted to pinch her mouth. O makwa ka osi acha? (does she know how fair she is) kilode? Green lipstick would look good on her!

She came to visit last week so we decided to play with her face,

I've been eyeing the supreme colour  collection for quite some time now . I always walk up to stands or shelves where the collection is on display just to stare at the gorgeous packaging and after that I always turn around and walk away. Nope fashion fair did nothing to me, Yes I know who sam fine is, Yes I've read reviews on some of the products in this collection but but but... Chidimma cannot explain why she does not care sometimes.

I received these babies a while back from the lovely funke of Gifty's Daughter. After I picked up my package, I remember pausing for like 5 minutes to touch and stare at everything (you guys know how I love good packaging, lol).

I received the two eyeshadow palettes in the collection - Tunisian Nights and Amalfi Coast.
The only lipgloss in the collection- Canary Diamond and
Three lipsticks - Pink Parfait, Whispering rose and Moroccan spice.

Yes o, I was definitely dulling when it came to this collection. Everything feels amazing!

Tunisian Nights and Amalfi Coast are two gorgeous palettes. I can definitely see myself doing a lot with the two of them. The colour pay off is not a joke and I will be creating two different looks from the two different palettes in the future.Yes I like them like that, lol. I intend to create looks off several palettes for you guys so please keep checking.

Canary Diamond is hands down one of the best things I've ever used. Its a clear gloss with lots of gold shimmer. It is without a doubt my favourite thing from the entire collection. It has a thick consistency which immediately made me cautious but believe me, my worries were  quickly forgotten because this baby applies like a dream!. It looks amazing alone as you guys can tell from the picture above and also looks gorgeous over any lip colour.

Pink Parfait is a lovely bright pink colour with blue undertone.
Whispering rose is a great neutral pink colour.
Moroccan spice is a bright coral red colour.
All the lipsticks have a rich creamy finish which is just as good because I haven't really been into matte lipsticks of late. The texture makes touch ups very very easy. I did not line my lips before applying any of these colours because I wanted them to appear as true as possible.

I still can't get past how gorgeous the packaging is. I also love the fact that it doesn't feel cheap. You know when things look this pretty and  you actually bother to touch them, just to realise that they feel very plasticky.  These don't feel that way at all.
