Lakmé and Revlon products as a kid in school.

The product you wanted to steal from your mom or sister?
My mom's special home-made face packs. body packs and masks . They do wonders and my mom's lipsticks of course.

Your skincare routine?
I wash my face with cold water and a PH balanced face wash, it could be a Cetaphil face wash or a CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser . Then I tone my face with the Pixie glow tonic or the Ole henriksen toner . I use the essence from Laniege mixed with my creams and apply it all over my face and neck . I also used the under eye cream depending on the season. Then I add some hyaluronic serum to my night mask. In the day I do all of the above but use a sun screen and a day cream with no night masks!

Your skincare routine?
My mom and my work taught me. My sister would do my makeup so I also learnt a few tricks from her too. The great professionals I worked with taught me the importance of good makeup and skin care . I'm blessed.

The items one will always find in your makeup kit?
Everything from an Led light face mask to rollers and guashas . I love makeup even though I don't do a lot of it I hoard.

Makeup or skincare goof ups from the past?
Yes ! Thin eyebrows. Sharp bronzed witch looking contoured features . Neck and face wouldn't match when the foundation was applied. Dark eye shadows… let's not talk about it more!
