Hey beauty lovers! Another week in the new week, another beauty blog post. The first beauty muse for the year 2022 is the stunning Zoe Kravitz. This beauty is an American actress, singer, and model. She is the daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, and she is featured in big hits like Big Little Lies, X-Men First Class. This talented beauty muse is also featured in The Batman as Catwoman, which is due to be released later this year.

Beauty Muse: Zoe Kravitz

Zoe Kravitz’s facial features are striking and always catch my attention. She has the most beautiful skin and her makeup is always on point. I was not surprised to discover Kravitz gets her beauty philosophy from her mum – Lisa Bonet. Here are some of her tried and tested beauty tips from an interview she had with Women’s Health Mag:

Coconut Oil and Tea Tree Essential Oil

“Coconut oil is wonderful, I use it on my body. Every time I get out of the shower, I put coconut oil on. It’s great,”

I agree with Zoe on this one. I love using coconut oil and I use it every day. It is a great skin and hair moisturiser. I always ensure I have a bottle of natural coconut oil in my bathroom cabinet every time. It is so handy to have around.

She also revealed she uses tea tree oil because it’s “great for blemishes.”

Tea Tree Essential Oil is amazing. I have used it for many years in a variety of ways and it is so great. To get rid of blemishes, dab a few drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil on the area.

Like I mentioned in this post, I have essential bottles for sale, and Tea Tree Essential Oils are currently in stock. You can shop them here. To read her full interview, click on here.

How to take care of your kinky hair while you sleep

Wearing your kinky hair natural can be very tricky. It can get so tricky that you may feel like giving up on the natural hair dream. I have been wearing my hair natural for many years now and I have discovered tips and tricks to help keep my hair healthy. It has not been easy but when I look at how healthy my hair is, I know the whole work has been worth it. I will be sharing images of my hair in the next few weeks but for now, here are some ways to help you take care of your kinky hair while you sleep –

Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase

I find sleeping on silk or satin pillowcases very comfortable and doing this also helps keep my natural hair healthy. Tossing and turning while you sleep puts pressure on your hair follicles which can lead to hair breakage. Cotton pillowcases dries out the hair which leads to breakage. To protect your hair structure and sleep comfortably, invest in silk or satin pillowcases.

Wrap up your hair in a silk bonnet or scarf

Always put your hair in a silk bonnet or scarf (you can use both if you wish) before going to bed. This along with the silk or satin pillowcase keeps the hair moisturised and protected. Always ensure you tie the scarf on the forehead and avoid making a tie on the hair edges so you don’t weaken that part of your hair.

Put your hair in twists or braids

I like to have my hair in twists or 2 braids to protect the tips and keep the hair secured and neat while I sleep.

Spray on some products

This keeps the hair soft, easy to manage, moisturised and healthy. I have a spray bottle with a water and coconut oil mixture I like to use on a daily basis. I always make sure I spray on some of it before I go to bed. Here is the exact coconut oil I use:

Beauty Muse: Yemi Alade

June 3, 2020 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

The talented and beautiful Yemi Alade is the Beauty Muse of the month. I have previously featured Yemi Alade as a Style Icon on Fashion and Style Police a couple of years ago. Apart from her stylish taste in fashion, she also has some pretty facial features, which is why she is a Beauty Muse. For those who do not this beauty, Yemi Alade is is a Nigerian Afropop singer and songwriter. Her big break came when she won the Peak Talent Show in 2009. Her hit single a”Johnny” was released in 2014, and her career really took off that the catchy song.

I am a huge fan of Yemi Alade’s music. Her beats are always super catchy and she is also a great dancer. I enjoy watching her music videos, they are always full of amazing moves. This woman is the definition of an African Beauty. Her facial features are stunning and she obviously knows her to care for skin. I have always admired her glowing skin and I am always on the hunt for great skincare products to try. So when I came across an interview with Vogue, where she shared her beauty secrets, I knew I had to blog about it. Here are some skincare products and makeup tips she swears by –

Coconut Oil

Yemi Alade moisturises her face with some coconut oil after cleansing. The fact that she uses coconut oil doesn’t surprise me at all. This amazing product is known for the great skincare benefits. I have a bottle in my bathroom cabinet and I use it on my hair and skin. Coconut Oil is one of those multitasking oils you just need to have.

“Because I am a performance stage artist, and I dance a lot, the most important thing is the primer,” she says. “It keeps everything in place.” After a full-coverage long-wear foundation is applied, Alade uses two different concealers to highlight her lids, then sculpts her eyes with a contour palette, courtesy of the Nigerian beauty brand Zaron Cosmetics. “The main thing that pushed me to learn how to make myself up is because when I travel around the world, I find that Nigeria is very ahead in terms of makeup skills,” she explains. “The Nigerian makeup artists know exactly what they’re doing.”
