Facial mask brush cup on Lagos salon counter

Warm candlelight pools across a white ceramic cup holding a folded facial mask brush, resting on a polished reception counter near Lagos. The cup sits beside a small, tidy stack of folded towels and a glass jar of cream, arranged with the precision of a recent restock. Soft reflections shimmer on the dark, smooth surface of the counter, mirroring the flickering flame of a nearby candle. Behind the arrangement, the city lights of Lagos begin to glow through the window, casting a distant, cool blue contrast against the warm amber interior. The turn of seasons is visible in the slight dust on the window sill and the heavy drape of the fabric curtain. one drop of condensation rests on the side of the glass jar, catching the light.
