Hi, yes i have use some products from them. Save your money, IT DOESN'T WORK. I wanted to be the guinea pig & try most of these nigerian products myself especially these Fabempireskincare & embarked on a shopping spree last year.I will list products that i bought from them to try below...Buy at your own risk & they are way 2 overpriced to either produce a moisturizing effect, a darkening effect or acne. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Her highest priced product used to be 250,000 naira which she jacked up close to a million naira for greed like 3months or so ago. Products are not properly packaged, no protective seal & will leak out before they get to u. The packaging is nothing to write home about like something that was mxed in a ******* in AJ city. After 2 months of usage, this is my result...only moisturized the skin (i can get these effect with any cream mix or qei lotion only 4 way less), darker areas went darker, never had dark knuckle b4 & my knuckles became darker, still struggling to get them to normal after months. Acne cream was supposed to stop acne, gave me cystic painful acne unlike anything i have ever experienced & my face was clear when i decided to use it. I will say the acne cream is more like the loose version of Nixoderm,...no difference, looks like it was bombarded with some perpermint oil & sulphur-which some people might be allergic to. Broke me out terribly....None of the products worked after 2 months where they guaranteed 7days lightening & i bought 2-3 each of all the products listed below & many more naija brands.
Here are the products i bought to try
-Acne Cream
-Face cream
-Facial cleanser
-Pink lips (Turned my lips darker than what i used to have)
-Cuban Glow cream now known as Golden Glow (U will get charcoal glow, ain't nothing golden about it)
-Talking oil
-Dark Spot removal
-Egyptian milk
-Caramel cream

So, good luck to anyone who wants to waste their money.

Even the talking oil was a lie,and darker knuckles to boot:(
I'm extremely grateful for your honest feedback. I'll be keeping my tax money for a rainy day instead or finally visit a doctor or dentist after 15 years of not seeing one. Lol.
I was going to buy the pink lips too. It was like a dream come true.

I used FabEmpire products about 3 years ago (for a year plus) and while i only stopped because i couldn't keep up with the ridiculous prices, i must say that ALL your claims here are outrageous. There's no point trying to run a business down. I used the Cuban glow cream 3 times and it gave me an actual glow! like her website says "24-hour glow" YH! IT REALLY DOES THAT! although it DOESNT WORK without mixing in the talking oil. Her knuckle oil, did not completely take care of my knuckles, but it lightened them slightly, though my hands weren't looking neat and fresh. I also used her soaps which btw are just cheap ass soaps you can get from magic-potions, even all the supplements are from magic-potions and are ridiculously and selfishly overpriced!! I've never come across a business so greedy in all my life. I also tried the lightening cream, and skin nourish and they were both very nice and maintained my results, till i decided to cut the b*******t and stop wasting all my money on overpriced creams, when i could get better results for cheaper!

i agree the amounts represented are very misleading. The jars are much smaller, but the packaging is pretty much like most cream mixes. Those reviews on her website are hella fake too!

I just remembered that i also used her face cream, and while i didn't have any real issues with my face at the time, i did not react to the cream in any way. It, however, turned brown in its container after a while, and it was too oily (probably why it broke you out, sorry dear)

Why would i want to run a business down? I don't understand why people get angry when others talk about their experience with certain products/companies. Like i said b4, those are the products i used above from that company and IT DID NOT WORK. Take it or leave it. Glad it worked for you but it did not work for me so i am talking about my experience based on the OP's question. My skin & urs r not d same. Her packaging is one of the worst packaging for such expensive products compared to other nigerian products that are prized way less.
Other products i have tried from nigerian people are;
Cookieskin- good moisturizer, didn't lighten.
Quincy herbals (These r repackaged Raphe Pharmaceutique lab products)- worked but the feeling is unbearable for me - i feel like i'm rubbing pepper on my skin the first few minutes. I want to enjoy using a product not feeling like i'm being punished for using one. This was how i felt with quincy/raphe products...i will be screaming Jesus, Jesus the first few minutes & my husband will be rolling on the floor asking what has Jesus got to do with ur cream? I gave it up after 1 month.
Tinatoner-this lady is a U.S seller of naija products (only used their Kamana egyptian milk for 1 month, i didn't lighten or darken, just soft & moisturized skin with a glow. Color stayed the same. She also gave me sample of face cream magic to use which only lasted a week, didn't break me out or lighten.) I doubt any of these people use what they sell cos all those their flawless pictures will get you.
Bismid Cosmetics: Almost evened my skintone where i was darker and maintained same color in other areas of my body.Used the exfoliating scrub & megablast cream.
Mstoniabeautyworld: The Arab & Indian lotion set went missing from my stash when my sister came visiting i only noticed 2 months later when she was asking where i got them from...i was like what. Yes she liked it, gave her like a shade & half with a glow. The body polish from this line worked on husband who is charcoal black...it just made his black yummy & glowy but i mixed it with cocoa butter half and half cos he likes cocoa butter.
My husband has told me to stop & mix my own products like i used to cos my skin was a lot better then. SCT got me buying too much products but i'm in rehab mode now come what may.
I used Clear essence up till January & have ran out. I'm on a different mix now for feb unti i run out. I have a lot of products at home right now & want to mix & used them up...I will not be buying any more products for now & most especially i will not be buying any more nigerian skin care products/mixes.

If anyone is dying to use the fabempire products, i can send u the remaining ones to use to give ur honest opinion as well. I have 1 bottle of dark spot removal oil, 1/2 a bottle of the talking oil, 1 or 2 face creams left. The acne creams all turned brown on its own wo usage so d 2 went in the trash. This i will send to anyone for free...no interest in anybody's money but u must be living in d U.S to receive this.
Other free items i will like to give away to anyone who is interested are:2 Asantee Tamarind & Goat Milk Soap,1 Asantee papaya herbal lightening soap, 1 Ami white serum,1 Kojic acid soap & 2 black soap both by Dermoptions & 2 Carrot glow toning gels by labelle glow.

Thanks for sharing your experience people can deduce what the want from it but at least you can be used as a point of reference when they make their decision whatever that may be.

Absolutely agree! and @liveurlife, if any product turns brown there's your flag that its oxidized. I wouldn't be happy with it either!

Thank God for this thread. Her ingredients were actually convincing. I actually gave up on buying Nigerian beauty Brands that aren't reviewed here after tossing a particular face lotion the seller was raving about that eventually turned out to be just melted shea butter. I have pimples on the left side of my face to live with till June.
