Lately I’ve been reflecting on the small\/minor acts that I can do to support those around me especially the up and coming businesses that I come across. As a small business owner I know and appreciate every recommendation, every mention of the products we offer and I also seek feedback from current and repeat customers on how we can improve our product offering and customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love functional items and items I can mix and match to fit my lifestyle(yes, I’m always on the go). I came across Nubian cosmetics at one of the pop-ups I attended years ago and I love how functional her lipglosses are – they have a mirror and a light for those moment when I need to touch up at an evening function and the bathroom queue is too long. I can simply whip out my lipgloss on the balcony in the dark and I’m good to go. The different colours that the lipgloss comes in is also a huge plus for me as I love, love, love to have a lipgloss that matches my mood. From the bold red lipgloss to a more subtle colours. Did I mention that the owner of the brand Sethu has named the lipglosses fetish, gorgeous, fudge and purple glitz etc? Head over to her page of get yourself a few, you will love them. I especially love the ones with a Matt finish as they last longer on the lips and I can add a clear lipgloss if I want to move from Matt to a glossy look. How amazing is that? You can find her lipgloss at https:\/\/www.nubiancosmetics.co.za<\/a> or reach out to her on 083 251 4596. She also hosts masterclasses to teach people like me how to apply makeup; choose the right foundation for my skin tone and simply have fun with makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes I’ve lined up my current stash of lipglosses from her \ud83d\ude42 ‘cos sharing is caring. Thank you in advance for your support<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With appreciation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
