Fenty Beauty lip oils + my lips = a love story 🥰

Literally the best lip oils I’ve tried. Super pigmented, moisturizing and super easy to apply! 
They are also super versatile: wear them by themselves or unlock your favourite new lip combo by pairing them with a lip liner or as a topper

Finally tried a tubing mascara. Heard lots of good things about the @toofaced Ribbon Wrapped Lash mascara so I had to give it a try and see if it’s actually worth the hype. 

First of all, I love how this formula doesn’t flake or run! Perfect for those of us with watery eyes 😭 
Love this mascara but I personally prefer more volume so I mainly wear it for when I want to look put together in every day settings

Hi, Nice to Meet You

I'm MalianaC

Beauty lover, oily skin survivor, and fellow hyperpigmentation fighter here! My beauty obsession started in my mom’s vanity in Mali and has travelled with me across three continents to finally turn into a blog. 

While I’m still on my skincare journey, I love sharing what I’m learning along the way.

Here, I share my discoveries, wins, and occasional mishaps – whether I’m splurging on luxury finds or hunting for budget-friendly gems that actually work for our melanated skin.
