MY MAKEUP COSMETICS & CO - Ben Nye 'Banana' Luxury Powder

Hey Everyone! TGIF!

Now I have always said, you can find nearly ANYTHING you want, in Lagos. Only problem is you need to know where to look, or have someone, who knows someone who knows where to get it! This was one of the major reasons I started this blog a year ago. I would discover some beauty product/item and be like "Oh! They sell this in Lagos?". And I thought why not share these discoveries with people too, you never know who's looking for it, and this brings me to my latest post.

Ben Nye 'Banana' Luxury Powder 1.5oz/42gm:  N3000

Now I want to assume that most of you already know about the amazingness that is the Ben Nye Luxurious Powder range, the most popular being the shade 'Banana'. It was quite possibly (and still is, to be honest) THE most talked about product in the beauty world, especially the blogosphere.

The reason why it is so popular is because it is amazing at preventing that dreaded 'shine' that develops on the face after a while of wearing foundation and we have to whip out our blotting-sheets/powder. It keeps your skin matte for longer and comes highly recommended for those with oily-skin.

Ben Nye products are all specially formulated for theatrical purposes, it's popularly referred to as 'Stage Makeup', and somehow managed to make it into the hands of mainstream makeup artists and enthusiasts. Think this mainly had to do with Kim Kardashian to be honest, her makeup artists uses this on her all the time.

Now I will say for people with darker skin tones, this is popularly used to set the under-eye concealer and give that brighter look  around the area. Ben Nye carry different powders and shades for Olive and Darker skin tones in their Mojave collection (Banana isn't in this range), think these are translucent and so it might be worth looking into those if you are after an all-over-face powder.

I can't give a review at all about this product as I haven't even used it. Was going to do a review and post at the same time, but I posted a picture of it on my Instagram page (Username: @BeautyInLagos) and I have been hounded with questions on where I got it, even had a couple friends send me a messages on BBM, asking to tell them before I told all you guys, haha!

So I will be back with a very detailed review after I have used this a while, so please check back in a few weeks, but for now here are the details on where I got it.
