The 2015 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards was held over the weekend on Saturday 28^th of March at the Forum arena in Inglewood California. The awards honours some of the biggest movies, television and music acts as voted by Nickelodeon viewers, which is largely made up of a younger demographic, hence the title of the Award show.

The red carpet for this year like previous ones before it was colourful, young and fresh. It featured some of the best known young stars and celebrities around at the moment. So why not take a look at the youth and colour behind the red carpet. ENJOY, and let us have your take.

During last week’s American Idol show, the 45-year-old beauty stunned the crowd with a debut performance of 'Feel the Light' from the new animated movie Home. The singer who is usually hyper active on stage was motionless in an expansive white dress that spread out around her on the floor. Afterwards, at the end of the show, JLO with a hint of laughter was quoted as saying “It's very weird for me not to move”. Here are pictures of the dress below:

Hi Everyone.

[We are doing something new today, which is a repost of an old post that we think will be of interest to you, and for that reason we would like you to see it again. This was done most especially for our new and recent audience who might not have the time or opportunity to go through our previous and old posts. Now to the order of the day, our first repost on Pamo’s Expression, ENJOY]:

A lot people think that fashion is just about clothes, shoes, bags, makeup and all that. However there is more to it than that, there is something called the engine room where all the work is done, which in this case I’m talking about taking proper care of yourself and keeping your body healthy first and foremost before the shoes, bags, clothes, makeup, etc., can even start to compliment you.

So today we will be looking at one of the health aspects of fashion. There are many but today's focus will be on COCOUNT OIL. 

Hello everyone, hope you all are having a wonderful week.

By now some of you might have noticed we haven’t done a style focus in a while, but that’s going to change today people, because we have one for you.

The Style Focus for today is none other Kelly Rowland.

Kelly is not only a beautiful singer and TV persona, but also a gorgeous woman as well. We absolutely love her look and how she stuns in her smooth chocolate complexion. 

One of her favourite attributes is probably Kelly’s choice of hairdos, especially when she goes for the bohemian look. Not many women can pull off the large-poofy hair, but Kelly is definitely doing it with grace. If there’s one word to describe her sense of style, it’s probably “radiant.”

With all that said let’s leave you all to decide what you think of Kelly Rowland’s style and look.

We're all on the quest to look and feel our most youthful and fresh—and in the beauty world, there are many creams, facials, and procedures to aid us on this mission. But something as simple as the way you apply your makeup can also have a great effect on how young (or old) you look, and sometimes, it's a very significant effect.

Here, we are provided with some of the most common, and most aging, makeup application mistakes (ref: Kimberly Soane, director of artistry at Bobbi Brown), including easy tips to correct them and how to put on makeup in the most flattering way, with photographic examples. Here they are;

MISTAKE # 1: Wearing foundation that does not match your skin colour.

Many women end up looking they have a floating head or they are wearing a mask because their foundation does not match their face and neck. When you go too light it makes your skin appear flat and lifeless. Instead of natural, it will look like the makeup is just sitting on your skin, which can add years to your face. But if you go too dark, you are not highlighting your features, but dragging them down and adding a dullness and heaviness that is just as aging.

In order to get the right colour, when testing out a foundation, do not blend it in too much. Simply tap it on your face from the top of your cheekbone to the bottom of your jawline and try to not go lighter or darker than your actual skin. If you are tan on your neck and body, you can bring that colour into your face with a bronzer, without having to use a foundation that's too light. The goal is to connect your skin by blending it evenly across.

The more aging way is pictured on the left, and the correct way is on the right. 

There's a saying that a woman's hair is her crowning glory. That's why women devote such time and care to their hair.

For the average Nigerian and black girl in general, hair care is even more of a challenge owing to the fact that the texture of our hair requires more care and luxury to really thrive. The good thing about this is that we have a wide range of hairstyles to explore and tryout to get a desired look whenever we want.

For this reason, here are 5 hairstyles I think every Nigerian and black girl should try at least once in her lifetime.

The Fringe:

Fringes are great for one thing - they instantly create this sophisticated, chic look. It also works for virtually any face shape with just a tweak in length or volume to suit the face type. You can make things interesting by making the back of the hair somewhat wavy like Olivia Pope from Scandal or you can simply go for the straight weave Naomi Campbell and finally it can be a short fringed do like Rihanna in her 'Shut up and drive' video. Just be sure to understand your face shape and go with the style that most suites you.

Disney’s live-action version of Cinderella opened at the theatres last week Friday,

March 13^th. In the film, the gown for “Cinderella” was created by costume designer Sandy Powell. It featured hand-painted flowers along the neckline and bodice, and a full silk organza skirt. With it came a slew of fashionable options inspired by the fairy-tale.

One of these options was the release of the limited-edition gown inspired by the film and created by Alfred Angelo, the design team behind Disney’s Fairy-Tale Weddings collection. The ball gown features a basque waist and full skirt made of organza, satin and tulle. There are three colour ways to choose from:  An all-white or all-ivory gown, or a light-gold coloured gown with multi-coloured flowers.  Brides also have an option of necklines: the classic strapless silhouette, or one that resembles the dress in the film with long, fitted organza sleeves. These limited-edition frocks will arrive at Alfred Angelo’s U.S. stores in April.

Certain things can be harder to find than others. The perfect red lips that actually looks good with your skin tone, and makes you feel like a million bucks is usually one of those hard things to find. Well, until now.

We’re here to help you discover the red lips you’ve been looking for; I mean that one that is guaranteed to look amazing with your particular skin tone. Keep reading to meet your match:

CARAMEL SKIN

Any form of Acne breakout is undesirable. Apart from the fact that it takes a lot away from the usual flawless skin, it takes even more away from a smooth make-up application.

Breakouts are largely as a result of poor lifestyle habits but sometimes they may indicate health issues. Dermatologists are usually able to diagnose the causes by simply looking at the face; this technique is called face mapping, which is known to work.

Below is a breakdown of what your breakouts might actually be telling you;

2015 is definitely a great year for Elite Model Look Nigeria (EMLN) 2014 Female category winner Mayowa Nicholas.

After being announced as the winner of the modelling competition last year, Mayowa was signed to one of the top modelling agencies in Nigeria (Beth Model Management Africa) and to Elite Model Management Paris. And this year she finally made her international runway debut at the recently concluded 2015 Paris Fashion Week.

Mayowa who is from Lagos State and the 1^st of 3 children is a 300 level accounting student of Crawford University. Upon winning the EMLN last year she was quoted as saying “winning Elite Model Look competition is like a dream come true for me.” Well seems more of her wildest dreams are coming true as she showcased her modelling looks and talents at an international stage during the Paris Fashion Week. 

First dates are quite important as they set a first impression of you. As it turns out, what to wear on a first date actually matters, more than any of us probably want to admit. Well we’ve got you covered as we’re here to provide some very important tips on how to dress up for that first date and make the best impression.

Dress For The Appropriate Occasion.

You're probably not going to want to be super dressed up for a casual date. On the other hand, you probably don't want to show up to a fancy restaurant wearing your old jeans and yesterday's t-shirt. Know what type of date it's going to be, before you make any fashion plans.

1.

For a low-key casual date like going to the movies, wear some nicer variation of what you normally wear. So for instance, if you tend towards jeans and a t-shirt, make sure you're wearing your nicest jeans and a nicer t-shirt (or a nice jacket over your t-shirt). If you wear skirts and flats mostly, stick with that, but wear something a little fancier than normal.

2.

For a really fancy occasion (like a dinner at a nice restaurant or similar) a nice black dress, with nice shoes, and some jewellery will do you well.

3.

Shoes depend on the date as well. A nice pair of flats can either dress up or dress down, depending your outfit and are a great versatile and comfortable choice of footwear. Only wear heels if you're comfortable doing so and aren't in danger of keeling over with every step you take.

The runways during the Milan Fashion Week and the just concluded Paris Fashion Week were surprisingly full of hair accessories in all shapes and sizes, whether it was leather headbands, geometric clips, retro leather ponytail holders etc. the range of hair accessories were numerous. Judging from this trend it seems the hair accessory fad is here to stay and not going anywhere this year.

So if we all are going to get with the trend for this year, here some nice hair accessory style pictures we’ve picked out for you. Hope they inspire you all to join in the trend.

Me with my very own olive wreath styled hair accessory from earlier this year. Guess I was well ahead of the Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks..... winks

Some of our favourite celebrities have taken Paris by storm for the on-going Paris Fashion Week. So now we’re giving you all an opportunity to take a look at them from an everyday perspective outside of the red carpet, as they make their moves around different locations in Paris. ENJOY

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE

The 2015 African Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards was held last night at the Eko Hotel Convention Centre in Lagos.

One of the highlights of the night was Ini Edo being spotted in a similar outfit design that Lupita Nyongo had on at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. Isn't it funny that Ini decided to wear a Lupita inspired dress a whole year after the original was worn. I mean common, we expected more from her, and if she's even going to copy a Hollywood celebrity, she should have at least copied something in season and not a year old outfit. 

You all can decide who wore it better........ 

And here are more of the photos from the event red carpet and backstage. ENJOY

I have to say Annie's  dress is quite unflattering, and I honestly don't know whats going on with the headband thingy, plus is that a massive blush mark on the side of her face? I just hope its the camera

When you wear glasses it draws more attention to your face and your eyes, this is why your makeup should be clean, defined and perfect. For those of you ladies who were glasses regularly, let us share with you some makeup tips and trick that will make you beautiful, attractive and cute glasses wearer:

HELLO EVERYONE…..

This past Milan fashion week featured some contemporary styled showings on the runway. One of these was the unconventional wedding gown designs that braced the runway. Whether they were flashy or minimalist, it highlighted some high fashion dresses that could easily sub in as a wedding gown. As you all may have noticed recently some celebrities have chosen to go with the non-traditional wedding dress styles and most have worked out quite well (sure we all remember Solange!).

So why not take a look and have your say on what you think.

Hello Everyone…… Hope you all are having a lovely week.....

Today’s post as the title suggests is all about birthdays, well one birthday in particular, and that’s the birthday of my lovely cousin Faith. For some of you who have been with us from the beginning, you might remember her for being featured in our very first post on the blog.

Now from the pictures that will follow you will notice the uniqueness of her day of celebration, which was the Free Spirited theme of the occasion. This wasn’t an open celebration, but one that was restricted to a few close friends and in a serene location. As noted earlier the concept of the celebration was centred on the free spirited theme of playfulness, relaxation, joy and of course happiness to top up a very Happy Birthday. The outfits worn by the celebrant and her friends were also inspired by the theme of the day.

The celebrants dress most especially gave her a playful, pretty and cute aura, thus allowing her to embrace the joyful occasion to its fullest, which really was a breath of fresh air from the all too busy, tight-fitting and restricting outfits that are all too popular for most birthday evenings.
