Meet Oluwatomisin Olorungbade the lady who started her made in Nigeria Hair bonnet brand with just N5,000

By Kemi Mobuse - Monday, March 04, 2019

I met Tomisin when I was having a bridal Collaboration shoot to show off my modelling side *yimu* I tried sha ohhhh, but that;s beside the point.

Tomisin wanted me to model for her hair bonnet. Prior to that, I've never used a hair bonnet before or even seen one...but Tomisin sold me the idea and I bought it hook, line and sinker.

Not only did I model the hair bonnet, but I ended going home with one,and you can barely find us far apart from each other.😁😁😁😁, I have healthier hair thanks to it and its long enough for me to even be called "an oyinbo" 😉, so whenever you see me, please put some respect on my name,lol!

I sat down with Tomisin on a quest to better understand her brand and she told me a lot about her brand and how it came to be.

By Kemi Mobuse - Thursday, November 08, 2018

“Chopping life” as they say is the new mantra when you know you have the money, especially now that foodies are getting superbly creative with food and making it hard to resist the temptation of eating it all in the name of “tasting” that is until you decide to go swimming and find out that the bikini no longer fit. Chai!🙆🙆🙆

Thankfully with a lifestyle coach like Shapeup with Mrs Murphy, losing weight is perfectly easy with the icing on the cake, being that: YOU CAN EAT ALL CLASSES OF FOOD. Trust me, that’s good music to my ears…and no, I’m not a foodie, I just like to live a good life, lol!😏

Meet Kenny Toyo the practicing lawyer who also doubles as a Make up Artist!

By Kemi Mobuse - Wednesday, July 11, 2018

Mrs Kenny Toyo comes from a stable background. As a child, she had a strong artistic inclination and an affinity for beauty. “Even as a grown woman I would say I still have a curious and active imagination. Being a loner has made me into a bit of a storyteller, which happens to be something that I apply to my work every day.” Kenny currently resides in Lagos, as she says the beauty industry there is vibrant, exciting and ever-growing. “I do think that I’m in a good place and enjoy being part of a market that is opening up to a more beauty forward direction.😁” She is currently a practicing lawyer but everything comes down to art, fashion and beauty in the end.

So, Kenny decided to man up and make a career out of it. “[I] became determined to become the best makeup artist I could possibly be”. I haven’t looked back ever since and I couldn’t be happier.”

In this interview with KMB, She spoke about her passion, her work and the various challenges she has encountered along the way……Read below:

17 Life-Changing Makeup Hacks EVERY Woman Should Know

By Kemi Mobuse - Thursday, June 14, 2018

You don’t have to spend hours in front of a mirror to get your makeup perfect. There are all kinds of little tricks you can use that will make applying cosmetics much easier and ensure that you always have the look you are going for. Here are the top 17 makeup hacks that will change your life:

1. Turn a pencil eyeliner into a gel formula with the help of a match or lighter.

Hold your black, green, burgundy, etc., kohl eye pencil (which typically creates a thin, harder-to-apply line), under the flame for one second, let it cool for 15 seconds, and then watch the consistency change right before your eyes. Finally, glide on your newly made gel liner for an instantly smudgier formula.

Being a skincare formulator wasn’t something I PLANNED to be, it happened purely by CHANCE - Founder (Vellora Beauty range)

By Kemi Mobuse - Saturday, May 26, 2018

When I birthed my first son, all I could think about was how to maintain his “baby” skin, so it would look the same, even after he has grown up to become a man. I wanted him to have a skin that people will call “clean” “supple” , fresh and beautiful.

With the myriads of baby beauty products out there, I got totally confused and decided to go the natural route. I ended up using shea butter as his body cream, coconut oil for his hair and whenever he had baby enzema and black soap mixed with honey as his bath soap. He is 4 years old now with a glowing skin that is making me very proud.

Vellora Range beauty is a Made in Nigeria beauty and skincare brand dedicated to helping everyone achieve the skin of their dreams the natural way. They have a range of beauty products that covers baby needs, ladies and men’s beauty needs.

KMB interviewed the founder Folukemi A.Akintomide and she shared the story of the brand with us….read excerpts from the interview below… By the way, do you know you can order for their products right here in our online shop?

AFRICAN CREATIVE EXHIBITION AND AWARDS 2018: What to Expect at the Second Edition

By Kemi Mobuse - Wednesday, March 28, 2018

Creative MSMEs have invaded Nigeria and we certainly are not complaining.

In 2016, it became apparent that Nigeria was an import driven nation and that was how the “Buy Naija to the grow Naira” came to be.

However, various sects of the economy are realising that for Nigeria to diversify and become an export driven nation, the beam light falls on MSMEs.
