The Beginning
In January 2012, our Founder had a desire to share information about beauty in the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria. Having just moved back to Lagos from the UK a year prior, she had created a mental catalogue of all the beauty spots she regularly visited, and naturally became the go-to person, amongst friends, for beauty recommendations. Eventually, she created a blog to document her finds, as a sort of resource to share with anyone who enquired about where to get what beauty service/product in Lagos. Overtime, that little blog slowly grew to become the No.1 online destination for beauty in Nigeria.
Vision and Mission
Our Vision is to see Africa recognized as a leading force in global beauty and wellness, where brands flourish and creativity thrives.. On a Mission to be the global voice of beauty and wellness in Africa and provide a dynamic platform to empower, promote & support brands within the region.
