Hello My Loviesss, Happy Eid-Mubarak. I have been so happy since friday and i am sure you know why; the much needed break has been the best thing to happen to me since sliced bread :-p. I have been working,working and working, wondering when i'll get some time out just to catch my breath and thankfully, Eid-Mubarak made it happen.

Hello Loviesssss, Today we are featuring the very talented Lola of FaceTalk Beauty. I've known Lola for a couple of years  and i've watched her grow to become an exceptional makeup artist. I admire her passion and resilience in the very saturated industry where you constantly have to show how creative you are and carve a niche for yourself (Shout out to all MUA, not easy at all) and i love the fact that she constantly rebrands and stands out. I saw some of her recent jobs and was marveled at the before and after transformation of her clients. They all looked absolutely stunning. She is one hardworking lady and also runs a makeup school for anyone interested in learning the art of make up professionally or personally.
