So we are here with the first instalment of our Proudly Nigerian Beauty Series, kicking things off with Makeup brands! I got a lot of emails from readers saying this was a great idea, but I was particularly happy to read from a couple up and coming makeup artists who are trying to build their Makeup Kits. The current prices (due to the exchange rate) of some makeup products are quite simply disheartening, so a post like this will possibly help them discover suitable alternatives.

UBERCHICVILLE

We are a Nigerian e-commerce company started in 2012 offering very unique affordable fashion accessories for the chic and savvy where these where hard to come about. We recently re-launched in December, 2016 to include beauty products as we believe we can provide beauty products that will not empty your bank accounts but still be safe and provide the aesthetics desired. We can only grow as a Nation if we as a people take on the mantle to create indigenous products for ourselves and not rely solely of foreign products which do nothing for us as an economy.

Our pressed glitters are hand made here in Lagos, Nigeria and our loose glitters are also packaged here for retail around the Nation.

Our Silk and Mink Eyelashes are manufactured under the highest standards and as a result of our bulk requests, we able to  offer our products at a premium less than international brands requiring FX to source for them.

With local brands providing alternatives to high-end beauty products, not only will we create jobs but eventually improve the state of the economy and even our personal finances as end-users. Our aim is to become the go-to-hub for all Nigerians in search of fashion and beauty finds that are chic,ethically sourced, safe and fashion forward yet affordable. We are solely online for now but are actively working to ensure our products will be available everywhere for everyone. We offer Nationwide delivery and international delivery upon request.

 What is your star product?

Our Star product is our luxury range of high lustre cosmetic glitters. We have 20 colours of metallic, holographic and iridescent glitters available in loose and pressed forms. Our pressed glitters are safe for use on the eyes, nails and body.
