Yeah, so I’ve been on a little hiatus the past few weeks, don’t know why… But I think this has given me the kick up the backside that I needed. When I received this email I was so excited! For two reasons, Firstly because it is SLEEK MAKEUP!! And I’m sure all you guys know how much I love Sleek. Their eyeshadow palettes are my favorite, so pigmented and stay on all day! Secondly, because you guys FINALLY get something back for reading my blog. So Sleek Nigeria’s looking for the top five beauty blogs in Nigeria. Well, my blog’s just a Newbie, so you can imagine my surprise when the email said I’d been short-listed. Don’t know how many other Nigerian beauty-blogs are out there. But may the best blog win! :). Have a little read of what the competition entails.

I have to say this is all very interesting!! I have been reading beauty blogs (mostly UK blogs) for over 2yrs now and i love the engagement beauty brands have with these bloggers. They get the bloggers so involved in their products and new releases and I am pleased this is starting to happen over here!

 So Please Please Please vote BeautyInLagos!
 Thanks!
