Like any good Nigerian, I’ve seen countlessNollywood (Nigeria’s mega movie industry) movies. Despite certain –ahem– cinematic setbacks, they’re quite addictive. Plus, they’re so cheap! You can learn more about the story behind the world’s third largest movie industry here.
Anyhoo, being the beauty nut that I am, I thought it would be a neat idea to do a post on the Top 10 Nollywood Babes. So, I took a (very informal!) survey and here are the results! Hailing from Nigeria and Ghana and in no particular order…
Today I have a special treat! Because you guys are so awesome, I’m going to give you a peek at my makeup organization skills.

Try setting up a Korean food restaurant owned by African-Americans in a Korean part of town and see how long it stays in business. It will be out of business by lunchtime.”
Even a loving and supportive father couldn’t combat the “good hair” demon…

If you’re a beauty nut like we are, those three words just got you inappropriately excited. It’s ok, the excitement is worth it – and surprisingly affordable – at Three Custom Color Specialists…
