Few weeks ago, Mimi Orjiekwe launched her make-up line.

She chose February 14, 2018; a day that celebrates love and lovers, the beautiful actress is making her line a gift for every woman who loves to feel beautiful.

She shared with Allure Vanguard the reasons for taking such bold step regardless of the huge financial implications.

“I want to contribute to society by providing quality services. It is a store where cosmetics are sold but we are focusing on a make-up line for women right now. I hope with time, we can cater to men too. In anything I do, I want to give my best. I intend to grow my business to be able to compete with international brands and I know it is possible,” she explained.

The Enugu state born, single mother of one, also shared with Inside Nollywood how she had remained in shape even while nursing her pretty little girl.

“I gained weight when I had my baby because I had to breastfeed her for a long time, but I was slim while pregnant. However, I work out every morning and I am on a diet. Though I anticipated that I would get fat and my stomach would be bigger, the joy of being a mother supersedes all that. You can always fix your body later and it is worth sacrificing your body to have a child.”
