Mini Beauty Haul



 
Bonjour Belles Personnes 
hope everyone is doing well..
 
 

Well.. Today I have a mini haul to share with you guys  
Recently I placed an order online at eyeslipsface.com and its my second time me buying from Elf I did ordered some brushes from the studio line
And I have to say I really do love their brushes Ahh I just I can't stress how much me love love love ...
But
I never tried their makeup or nail polishes I don't know why..
Sooo I have decided to give it a go 
I didn't buy a lot of products just few to see the quality of their products and OMG
for the price and the quality I give it 4*
 
 
1. Cream Liner - £3.75

 

Left - Copper
Right- Coffee

 

It's a very nice cream eyeliner for the price. It is very pigmented and glides on nicely But its not very creamy like the mac fluidline if you wondering!
So I only purchased these two shades for my eyebrows I was looking for a brown gel liner for my eyebrows since I lost my MAC one ( Dipdown )
 :( I was looking for something cheaper and Yesssss ..
Thank You ELF
I don't really like the Copper one and the reason its because it has a bit of shimmer and it wont look nice on the eyebrows
But again I can use it as a shadow base if I'm going for a Smokey look and for the Coffee Cream liner I'll say its a good dupe 
Love it
 
 
 

2. Nail polish - £2.50
 
 
Left : Skinny Jeans
Right : Mint Lime
 
 
 Well What can I say about these two Polishes
Pros -- Very nice Gorgeous shades, stays true to the bottle it dries just like the other nail polishes
Cons -- It Has a very Strong Smell I mean it smell really really strong :/
 Overall I really like these polishes and think they're great And Yess I'd definitely recommend them!
 
 
 
 I Hope this post has been helpful :) If you have any other products that you'd think I'd like to try please feel free to comment

Products I'm Loving


 
 
 
Hello Beautiful People
 
 
 
 
Today I'm going to tell you about some products that I'm digging these days and I would strongly recommend for you guys !!  
 
 

 1. NYX  lip liners - Centre Point - UAE
 
I absolutely love these lip liners by NYX I have three in total I've bought them when I was in Sharjah sadly I only bought three :( I wish if I bought all the colours but I just wanted to try'em and see since everyone on YouTube talking about the NYX products!!! Girrrlfirend!! Its Amaazzing lovely colours I use them as a lipstick sometimes and they do last for long :)
 


 
 
2. Sleek Blush - Coral - Superdrug £ 4.49
 
I Adore this product I have used it couple of times long time ago I think and for a weird reason I just Stopped using it I don't know why!  ... :/
But Hey I've found it recently and I'm so glad ...Yeey!
its something about the formula that I love the colour is so pigmented and you only need little bit. I have to say the quality is very good well worth the money and I think it suites any skin tone :) And Not Pricey .. :)

 

 
 
 

3. Natural Collection Mascara - Boots £1.99
Ahhh I Have Fallen In Love with this mascara I bought This mascara when I was going on holiday to keep it in my makeup bag just in case if I lose my L'Oreal volume million lashes ..What can I say about this mascara I love how the formula doesn't clump or become sticky ..I still Love my L'Oreal and Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascaras but this one Is my Favourite at the moment I believe it was £1.99 You can't beat it for the price :D
 
 
 
 
 4. Bobbi Brown Bronzer - Deep 4 - Selfridges  £27.00
 
I Absolutely Adore this bronzer its matte which makes it perfect when it comes to contouring the face. I like to apply it in the
hallows of my cheeks and a little on my hair line.
I just love the Sun'Kissed look its amazing this bronzer its 2 shades darker than me but I only apply it with a light hand and its buildable  ...Love it

 
 
The bronzer is a red toned deep terracotta shade, I promise you it doesn't  look orange or dirty on the skin, if applied with a light hand it looks really lovely and natural
 
 
 I Hope this post has been helpful :) If you have any other products that you'd think I'd like to try please feel free to comment

Well Hello Sunshine And Welcome summer!

 
I hope that everyone is getting their extra vitamin D by enjoying the beautiful sun :)..
Now that the sun is out I thought I'll share my skin care Regimen with you guys ;)
 
 
Ok! Girlfriend's let me tell you little something ;) Well I have a combination skin / sensitive  ( I know its weird right Lol ) and in the past years I was really trying anything to take care of my skin I've used so many different products from drug store (boots) and high ends (clinique and Lancôme)
Yes Believe it or not I even bought some products from Poundland LOL! Hoping that it might work
 I must admit none of the products I used in the past worked for me some were expensive waste of money and I didn't see any improvements in my skin :( so I decided to save my money I start using coconut oil as a moisturiser and olivera soap from Holland and Barrett Yes it did work.. But after a while my skin start breaking out :(  
 
'Sigh' again I started looking for some cheap and effective products until my lovely sister who use to work at the body shop recommended the Aloe Vera skin care she told me its safe with no fragrance no alcohol ahhh 'Sigh' I wish if she told me before....
 I just love their products <3
 
Ok! Dolls here are My Magical products :)



Step 1.  Face Wash

The Face wash to remove any dirt and oil that left on the skin

Step 2. Toner


After you cleanse use the toner to remove impurities and any excess traces of the face wash


Step 3. - Protective Serum


You Don't have to use the serum but I really like it makes my skin feeling soft Instantly

Step 3. Moisturiser



This Daily moisturiser works wonders for me its SPF30 and for me its not greasy heavy on the skin Personally I don't like the Aloe Vera moisturiser :( my skin breaks out like cray
cray.
  
Step 4. Night cream 

at night time I do the same thing but I switch the moisturiser to the Aloe Vera night cream I absolutely love this product  it moisturise and nourish the skin very well I Love it :)

 
 
And Finally skin care regimen doesn't have to be overly expensive you just need to know you skin type in my case I didn't even know my skin type I was confused ahaha Thanks Sis :D
 
 
Enjoy the sun whilst it is here Lovelies
before the rain returns ahaha :) x

Ramdan Kareem Everyone!

 
 
 
hello lovelies
 
 
 
I hope you guys are doing well :)
 
Well Ramadan is round the corner (Ramadan Kareem Everyone) and for those who don't know What's Ramadan!

 Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim year, during which strict fasting is observed from sunrise to sunset.
 
So I decided to do something that I never tried before Yeey! But First let me tell you little something ;)
Ok! For the past years well since I was 16 to be honest I was on Yo-Yo diet .I'll stick to a diet for weeks and when I reach my goal and I feel so good about myself I'll just go back to my old habit .. Fast Food, Chocolate, Fizzy Drinks..Ohh..  and the list goes on  'Sigh' and when I step on the scale I see a number that I don't like 'Sigh'  :(
I feel Depressed and I keep asking myself how did I gain all that weight how come I didn't realise that I was gaining weight :( and without realising I'll start punishing myself by not eating and skipping meals and maybe end up eating one meal a day
am just so sick and tired of losing and gaining the weight back so quickly and I know that there's no a magical pill or cream that will help me lose the weight.
 
 
 
 
I'm not obese or overweight but I feel unhealthy and am not trying to be skinny I just want to tone and improve my physical fitness
 
So since its Ramadan and God Willing I'll be fasting I decided to change my eating habit I don't want to call it a diet because it makes me feel depressed LOL

Its so easy and here are the changes

White bread = Wholegrain bread Wheat free gluten free
dairy products = almond Milk
Rice = Quinoa
Fizzy drinks = Fresh Home Made juice or water
lets not forget fast food chocolate fizzy drinks and all these bad food :( which I love ahah!

I'll Drink 1.5-litter of water a day eat fresh fruit and Veg and join the gym straight after Ramadan 
and hopefully I'll stick to it and make it a lifestyle
And InshaAllah I'll feel good about myself inside out

cream that gets rid of your fat… or does it?

Hello beautiful people! :)
 


Finally No more dieting no more exercising no more green / peppermint tea no more calorie control no more starvation Phew!! What a relief
I'll have the Victoria secret body! I'll be able to wear what I want eat what I want and just be lazy ....
 
 


OK! Couple of days ago when I was at work I was reading metro newspaper 

there was this article that caught my eyes LOL!!. Basically this company that called Nip + Fab claims that using their body slim fix cream can help you lose a third of your body fat in just two months!! the cream main ingredients contain caffeine and cocoa butter and as many of us know that the caffeine is often placed in many diet products and thought to enhance weight loss Anndd a substance called Uni-slim, which the company says stifles fatty cells, known as adipocytes, and boosts the metabolism to burn up fat

hmmmmm Intersting eh!
Just by rubbing the cream on your thighs tummy hips etc..twice a day can help you lose weight  I Mean Reaaaaalllly ..
I did  research just to see if there's any review about this product but unfortunately I didn't come across any reviews :(
 

The Miracle Cream LOL!

For those who live in the UK they do sell the Nip and Fix cream at boots for £14.95 for 200ml bottleI Wonder How many bottle I'll need to have the VS body hahah x
