Tutorial: My go to full face makeup !



Today I’m going to be sharing the contents of *one of* my go-to looks that I’ve been wearing a lot.. 
The thing about this is that it’s so versatile, you could add some lashes and dark lipstick for a more dramatic effect, or stick to the mascara and a natural lip for a more toned down feel.

The White Room Spa - Marina Plaza

I was recently invited to check out The White Room spa, and after hearing so many good reviews I decided to give it a try. The branch I went to was in Marina Plaza and was quite easy to get to, which was nice, you can easily go by metro and then take a tram. I'll share with you my whole journey, so let's begin!

Collective Haul - Makeup buying ban? *yeah right*


Recently, I've put myself on a makeup buying ban, to reduce the amount of material things I spend money on. Surprisingly, I only bought the things I needed. Being a beauty blogger, I'll have to improvise on that but I'll find a way. The good thing is, I only bought 3 of these things, which is improvement from my post shopaholic madness. The rest were gifts! *people felt my struggle*

MUFE Life is a Stage - Q & A with Maya Ahmed


Not sure what was up with me but I look horrible compared to her! She is so sweet and adorable and I finally got the chance to meet her and ask her so many things. We talked about insecurities, eye shapes, and even Game of Thrones! If you don't know who she is then you're missing a lot...

Flormar in Dubai


I'm so happy this finally opened here in Dubai! I really love this brand, you can find great quality products for very low prices. I used to get their makeup from Turkey. Also during Beauty World last year they sold a few of their things at the lowest prices ever. Here's the new store in the Dubai Mall metro tunnel. I'll do another post of my favourite things from there.

Hershesons Bobby Pins


Bobby pins are popping up all over the place. It’s completely acceptable, even fashionable, to let them show. So people are getting creative about it. Blonde hair? Black bobby pin. What’s great about this trend is that it takes zero hairstyling skill!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette - Pictures!

Earlier last month I talked about how much I wanted this, until one day I caved. I bought it online and I almost didn't believe I did till it came in the mail.The second I picked it up, I immediately regretted buying it...

QUEEN BEE by Lipstick Queen

 This had me so tempted to try I can't wait to get my hands on it! As we all know by now I own every single lip balm that has ever hit the market and therefore shall make no exceptions..

Here's what's been said about this honey glazed goodness:

“Queen Bee is inspired by the beauty, potency and nurturing qualities of one of nature’s most delectable elixirs: honey. Caring for your lips has never been such a buzz!” Poppy King 

Just look at that bullet.. *swoons*

" Oozing with nourishing ingredients to soothe, repair and hydrate the delicate skin of the lips, Queen Bee is a treatment with a difference. As well as caring for sore, chapped or dry lips with its moisture-rich formulation, it laces them with a delicate bronze gold finish, creating a subtly gilded lip effect with a sensual shimmer. 

Queen Bee’s formula is enriched with Royal Jelly, a nourishing and skin-soothing active that replenishes dry lips, as well as chamomile and sunflower extract to help to soothe and heal. The finishing touch is an irresistible honey fragrance that makes this lip treatment almost good enough to eat!

Wear Queen Bee on its own or layer it with another shade for extra protected lips with a glistening bronze gold finish. "



Queen Bee from Lipstick Queen will be available exclusively in Bloomingdales and Harvey Nichols from May 2015. It costs AED 125.

The Prettiest Blush!


Ever wanted that perfect shade of both pink and peach mixed together? With a subtle highlight enough to make it look like you're "glowing from within" in a non-overwhelming way.. To top it off this shade is also a dupe for the coveted NARS Orgasm everyone is after.

Wishlist Worthy Palettes

Today I'm sharing my top wishlist items (palettes only ;) These were palettes I've been eyeing for quite some time now and I decided to share.* I think I just impulse bought the first two though.. not sure till they come :") *
First up we have the beautiful Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette.. need I say more? Well, these light reflective powders give you a flawless finish and highlight like a dream. They were made in replacement of actual light fixtures, because who walks around with lights all up in their good angles..unless you're chased by photographers no one does.

Next up is the cult favourite Anastasia Contour Kit in "Light". This is not a must have for everyone, but those who love makeup do need this. It has 3 shades for contour, one could also be used to bronze,  highlight shades and pressed banana powder. Of course I need this. Without a doubt.

Last but not least, I can't end this post without mentioning eyeshadows.. My favourite thing ever. I'm stuck between the Too Faced Chocolate Bar (no.1) and the Tartelette, but for now I'll stick to the Chocolate bar. The colours look divine and I just love them so much. Swoon! My favourite is the purple one in the middle. Been wanting this in my life for quite some time now.

Sorry to put some salt in our makeup loving bank breaking wounds.. much love xx
