1. What is your day-to-day makeup routine?

On a regular day, it would go this way: some concealer, face powder, then an eyebrow pencil, followed by a black eyeliner (or pencil), and lastly, some lip gloss (lightly-coloured mostly). Occasionally, I could use a few strokes of blusher.

2. What is your night-time look?

That depends on a lot of things, mood inclusive

3. What do you do to take care of your skin?

To take care of my skin, I try to drink lots of water. I also make sure I cleanse and moisturise at night. In addition to these, I try to take lots of fruits. Not sure if it's just me, but I think my skin looks better when I stick to my exercise routines. So I also work out to keep it looking healthy.

4. What are some makeup tips and tricks you've learned over the years?

I think one of the most important things about make up I've learnt is how to go light on your eyes if you have heavy makeup on your lips, and light on the lips if heavy on the eyes. Also, that heavy makeup goes better at night than in the day.

5. What are some of your favourite beauty products?

I love Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lip gloss

6. What are your three favourite makeup items?

Lip gloss, translucent face powder and black eyeliner. These are must-haves for me.

7. What is your basic hair-care regimen?

That would be [using] Organic Olive Oil hair care range.

8. What is your signature hair-do?

A left side part, long, and usually with waves or curls.

9. What are some of your favourite hair products?

I love the Soft and Beautiful pink oil, Organics Shea Butter detangling moisturising hair lotion.

10. Your style icon?

Don't have any. I admire people who are able to show elegance and grace without having to be loud.

14 Wraps of heroin sniffed out from lady’s hair By CHRIS ANUCHA It is said that a woman’s beauty is her hair. But that can no longer be said of Angela Okiri, who was arrested recently at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport(MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, over hard drug. Angela advertisement According to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency(NDLEA), she concealed fourteen wraps on her well braided hair. The 31 years old suspect from Edo State, also swallowed fifty-six wraps of heroin and packed twenty-two wraps inside sanitary pad in her handbag. Angela was among the four suspects nabbed recently by the narcotic agents. One of the suspects was attempting to smuggle narcotics into the country from Brazil, while the other three suspects were arrested on their way out of the country to Europe. Other suspects were, Anekwe Ugochukwu, 28, who ingested eighty-one wraps of cocaine weighing 1.285kg, Anisiebo Arinze, 45, who ingested sixty-eight wraps of cocaine and Esimone Amanchukwu, 33, that ingested eighty-two wraps of cocaine weighing 988 grammes. The suspects were detected with the assistance of scanning machine donated to the Agency by the United States of America. Impressed by the arrest and seizures, the Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, called for more public support for the Agency. While reaffirming the commitment of the Nigerian government to the anti-narcotic crusade, he vowed that all drug trafficking syndicates would be brought to book. Giade stressed that the Agency would leave no stone unturned in the fight against illicit drugs, adding that intense undercover operations were going on to dismantle more illegal drug cartels. Arinze, who had lived in Germany for the past nineteen years was nabbed while on his way to London. He ingested the drug for a fee of 5,000 pounds. He said: “I live in Stuttgart, Germany, where I work as a labourer, but I lost my job in August last year. I came to Nigeria in November 2, 2009, to attend a burial ceremony. It was in the village that I met an old friend, who asked me to traffick drugs to London. I agreed because of the money involved, because I needed to complete the traditional marriage ceremony of my wife. I only did the introduction in January and there is pressure on me. I ingested sixty-eight pieces of the drug in my village, Umuoji in Anambra State.” Ananchukwu was to board KLM flight to Amsterdam, on his way to Hamburg, Germany, when he tested positive to drug ingestion. The suspect said he decided to smuggle drugs to settle his creditors. “I am heavily indebted and my dad is sick. I swallowed eighty-two pieces of drugs and would have been given 3,500 Euros.” Anthony, who was smuggling the illicit drugs into Nigeria was apprehended in a South African Airline from Sao-Paulo Brazil, through South Africa. According to him, he went to Brazil five months ago and was stranded. “I was stranded in Brazil. Though, I was working in a restaurant, the salary could not pay my rent. When I got the offer to send the drugs to Togo, I was happy, because I saw hell these five months in Brazil,” he stated. Angela, had lived 11 years in Bergmo, Italy, where she worked as a labourer in factories. She was arrested during screening of passengers on Alitalia flight. The suspect, whose final destination was Torino, stated that some friends introduced her into the drug business, after being jobless for several months due to the economic recession. “Having lost my job for some months, I am now into trading but things are difficult. I wanted some money to expand my business. They gave me ninety-two wraps out of which, I could only swallow 56. So, I hid some in my handbag and some in my hair. I thought that they would not see them. They would have paid me 4,000 Euros,” she lamented. According to the NDLEA spokesman, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, all the suspects would appear in Court soon.
