What’s the opposite of gatekeeping? Welcome to “Payment Processing,” in which we ask stylish, generally cool people who’ve tried it all about their favorite fashion and beauty buys.
Content creator Eni Popoola knows a thing or two about taking risks. After all, she left her law career to pursue influencing full-time. So, it should hardly come as a surprise that her daring mentality extends to personal style as well. One day, she’s putting an architectural spin on the LBD in Issey Miyake; the next she’s endorsing a playful take on resortwear with a red, hand-crocheted raffia Nia Thomas set.
“I would describe my personal style as elegantly eclectic,” she tells Fashionista. “I dress for whatever the occasion is in an elegant way.” Take, for example, her appearance at the 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Fundraising Gala: a black-and-blue striped hand-beaded dress by Hertunba — one of her favorite looks to date.
Her time in the corporate law world left an imprint on her style choices as well: “It did give me an appreciation for a tailored look and a structured look,” she says. “But now that I’m free, I feel like I get to play around with things like color and texture a little bit more.” (See also: her bold green Christopher John Rogers suit.)
Ahead, the content creator gives a rundown on her fashion and beauty must-haves — including the niche fragrance brand she’s loving, sneakers she buys on repeat and the SPF spray that gives her body a glow.
What’s a luxury beauty item you have your eye on right now?
There is this body scrub from Omorovicza. I saw one of my mutuals post about it, and I was like, ‘I need to have it.’ She said it was one of the best body scrubs she’s ever used in her life.
What’s a drugstore beauty item you swear by?
Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation. It is so incredibly good. Do not sleep on the drugstore foundations.

What’s an accessory you’re eyeing right now?
I want another classic pair of studs. Anyone who has a good pair of diamond studs, I’d be into that for sure.
What shoes do you want to buy right now?
There’s this pair of Aquazurra heels that are hot pink, metallic and have these cool circles all over them. Not only are they super fun, but I’m attending a Nigerian wedding and I think they’ll go really well with what I have planned to wear.

Any other luxury items you’re lusting after?
This might be a little bit niche, but I’ve really been into the fragrance Printemps Blanc by Maison Mataha. I got that bottle in February and I’m probably going to need a new one. It smells so incredibly sweet. If you love sweet fragrances, I have been loving it for this season.
What’s a beauty staple you love so much you’ve bought multiples of?
I bought two bottles of the Danessa Myricks Water Powder Serum. It was sold out at Sephora during the Sephora sale. I was trying to wait for it to come back in stock, but it hasn’t, so I was like, ‘I need that now.’ It is the perfect mattifying, smoothing primer, especially if you have acne-prone or oily skin.

What’s a fashion staple you love so much you’ve bought multiples?
I always have a pair of Converse. I might wash them, but once I’ve worn them down, I will definitely get a pair of fresh white Converse.
What’s a summer beauty must-have?
Sunscreen — specifically body spray sunscreen, because it’ll give you that glow. I really like the one Sol de Janiero has.

What about a summer fashion must-have?
I love raffia, be it bags, shoes or clothes. I just love raffia material for the summer.
What’s the last product a celebrity or influencer influenced you to buy?
Folake Aina posted about the One/Size Oil Blotting Spray. It’s a new product that’s basically a spray that will do the work of an oil blotting paper. She used it and I was sold, so I’m absolutely going out to get that.
