Sacred Beauty Police

Red Carpet Beauty Police by Tolu Orekoya – AMAAs 2012 2

There’s nothing more glamorous than the red carpet.  From the days of old world hollywood right up to present times, around the world, we all hold our breathes in anticipation waiting to see the biggest names in film, tv and music float down what seems an almost magical carpet.  The fact that you’re even standing on the carpet in the first place announces to us mere mortals that you truly are a celebrity.  Millions of people are glued to their tv screens or pouring through the magazines after the event eager to see who wore what.. who looked amazing and most of all.. who did not!

It’s human nature, there’s nothing more satisfying than screaming at the screen “what on earth are you wearing!?”.. But we at Sacred have a higher calling than that.. we’re not interested simply in what they wore.. what we want to know is did their makeup and hair compliment their outfit?  Did she really think that shade of lipstick suited her? OMG who did her hair?

(We’re far more civilized don’t you think?) hehe

One day, Angelina Jolie or Beyonce will look in the mirror and say to themselves “Maybe I should call Tolu before I leave just to make sure I look ok…”

The Africa Movie Academy Awards 2012 have since come and long gone, but it can never be too late to learn from some red carpet hit and misses.

The Pregnancy Survival Kit: A Modern Day Woman’s Guide to Staying Fabulous 6

There are certain things that you take for granted in life.  The sun comes up in the morning, the moon comes out at night.  Christmas is in December and Pregnancy is a 9 month celebration of a woman’s femininity. A passage from being a simple female into a mother. It’s a declaration to the world that you have achieved what you’ve been place on this earth to do. You’ve created and given birth to a new life.

But they lied.

Hmmm it’s been a bit quiet around here… Reply

Hey Gods & Goddesses

We really apologise for the little quiet spell we’ve had around here.  Thank you for not forgetting about us though.  We can see from the hits per day that people are still regularly coming along and actively browsing the site.  Thank you for all your emails as well.  Business has been so busy that it’s been difficult for us to regularly update the site but never fear, we haven’t gone anywhere, we were just doing a little behind the scenes shuffle around and we’re now back to stay.

Right so without further ado.. we continue on our quest for the very best in beauty articles, hair care tips and makeup techniques.

Make sure you check in this weekend, voting starts on our first ever creative artistry competition. This month’s theme was of course.. “Goddess”.

Much love, as always..

Welcome to Another Wonderful Week Reply

Greetings  Gorgeous Sacred Gods & Goddesses..

Firstly i’d just like to say thank you. To all of you who have visited our little blog.  To those who have retweeted, re-posted the links on facebook or shared the articles via email with their friends.  Thank you to those who comment on the posts whether it’s here on our site or whether it’s on the links posted elsewhere.   Your support is always and will continue to always be truly appreciated.

We have alot of exciting things planned for our site.  The celebrity interview section will soon be launched and we’ll get to the bottom of all their beauty / grooming secrets.

We really do hope you enjoy reading our articles as much as we enjoy posting them.  For us really we’re trying to provide relevant articles based on facts not fiction.  Part of the main aim is to highlight the fact that there are so many myths out there about African Beauty both in the way we treat our skin, our hair and the makeup we use.  As a training academy we just want to help those who want to be helped.  Clear up any confusions and shine a gorgeous light on new products that we simply can’t get enough of.

In order to provide content throughout the week, rather than updating everything mostly on Mondays, we’re separating the catagories into the following days

 

Mondays – Makeup

Wednesdays – Beauty

Fridays – Hair

 

Please do feel free to post all your questions and comments in our Q&A section.  I get so many requests for information via FB and Twitter it would be much easier for me to answer them via this site instead.   The answers may also benefit other readers who may be going through the same problems as well.  Sharing experiences is such a vital part of learning.

Much love to you all, because without you, we can’t be who we are.
