Inside The Face Shop + New department store in MCC !

Hello everyone! Last week I went to Mirdif City Centre, my second favourite mall..Dubai Mall comes first because BOOK WORLD! DUH.. I was really excited to go to "The Face Shop" specially after everyone talking about it recently. I used to LOVE the face shop, but it was an old favourite actually. Way old. Before they changed up some of their products etc.. I mainly stopped going there after the nearest one to me closed down. When I went there last week, I fell in love all over again.

3 things I always use.. Mac Edition!

So basically I wanted to share three favourites from mac because they're just really staples.. My first mac blush, first eyeshadow and a limited edition sculpting powder from the Maleficent collection..

This is "Love Joy", a mineralise blush.. I really like this for winter, because it's more of a plum colour with golden specks in it, I really like the shimmer, despite not being a shimmer person, this shows up very nicely. The pictures are actually very true to colour..

My favourite lip balm..

I feel compelled to always keep you updated on lip balm.. like, it's part of my duties, as a beauty guru..to make sure everyone knows how to have the softest lips ever.. This is an all time favourite for me as of now.. Once, when I was 12, I wanted to own every single Labello lip balm...so I did.. this was the only one I didn't get back then. Now I only have this one and I'm hooked.. Which one do you use??

LYN Nailpolish review and "Blogcember"!

My new favourite nail polish?? Well, yes.. Thanks to Beauty World that happened earlier this year , I discovered a new brand of nail polish that has become a staple for me! I picked up my favourite colours and haven't changed from them ever since.I get tons of compliments on my nails it's crazy. 

21 Questions Tag- Get to know me!

Rimmel London- Appreciation post

Today I come to you with a Rimmel London appreciation post! I have been loving some of their products for a very long time and these have been really great to me. Serious rave review here! 

I JUST SKIPPED MY OWN BIRTHDAY!! WHAT??

I know I am not the best when it comes to consistency, but I swear I love my blog. Thing is, I will only write about things if I truly love them, and if I feel that I can "blog". For me this is about loving what you do.. so if I wake up one day and decide to write 10 posts about things I love, I will do just that. And if I can go a whole month without a post, I'm not neglecting my space. It's just that sometimes it's better to not post anything than to write something I don't truly feel 100% connected to. I like to put my all in these posts and sometimes nothing is better than "less than my best". I just realised October 22 marked the first post I made on here, and that day had just past by after one year,and I hadn't noticed.. for that I apologise.. To make up for it, I will post every day of the month in December.. now I know this is crazy.. but I am doing my AS levels.. and this month I have exams.. #shortsadstory #highschoolhorror #iamsorry
Regardless of whether someone reads my blog or not. I am truly grateful for each person who has taken their time to read my posts. I hope I continue to deliver good to the world. Thank you very much. Love, Farida Sherif. xx

Urban Decay Basics- Review *must have palette for everyone*

Revlon Nearly Naked foundation- Review

I was never a fan of foundation, ever. The look of it was never pleasing, neither was the feeling.. It felt very heavy on my skin and I always just skipped it over because it was an overwhelming task for me.. I really did.
Naked skin is possibly the best way to go in my opinion.. But how about your naked skin, but better? The feeling of "oh wow, I actually look healthy after a week of work overload", is a very good one if I may say so.

Pamper night in! Ft. Glambox products :D

Yes, Glambox is amazing.. Imagine saving all that energy to go out and buy new products to try and risking them being not good enough.. well I am lazy. But this was so easy to do since I had all the stuff from my previous Glamboxes! 

September Glambox Review

Weekend Haul :)

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a great weekend, personally can't wait till the next one. This weekend I bought a few things that I thought you might be interested in :) So here goes..

Black and Grey with Blue ! Weekend OOTD

This is what I wore this weekend.. My favourite colours and style! I just love the simplicity of wearing a jacket over anything, long dresses, (looser) skinnies and some Nike!

Urban Decay:Heavy Metal

So, last April was my birthday, and since then I've been trying to venture out and do new things because I realised that I have been pretty boring for a long time. I thought about dark lipstick to go out of my comfort zone since it's what I've seen a lot of people do. Weirdly enough I am not allowed to wear lipstick, bold colours that is because let's be real.. I look like a 10 year old.. and wearing dark lipstick makes me look like a 10 year old, who went through her grandma's makeup bag. So I decided to find something else that worked for me.

August Glambox Review

July glam box review !

NYX Lip Lovin!

I apologize for not posting but I am currently on vacation and doing nothing is the best thing to do when the weather is this good.The only thing I do here is experiment with different "out of my comfort zone" type colours on my lips, and let me tell you.. it feels good to start coming out of my shell, finally!

Parfumerie: Burberry Body EDT

Without a doubt this is in my top 2 summer fragrances! The second being the Victoria's Secret Incredible Daring perfume.

All time favourite: Olay's Beauty fluid

Olay has been in my life ever since I was a baby..

All time favourite: Essence 12h Hand Repair

I have tried way too many hand cremes out there, all different ranges, types and sizes and I must say this one by Essence is by far my favourite, and on top of that it's quite cheap compared to most drugstore items and it's made in Germany! You have to try this I promise it won't fail you, I used to love taking this to school with me because it's non greasy and it works fast. Essence is a hit or miss for me but this one is definitely a hit for me!

Much love, Farida xx 

Battle of the felt tips!

Eyeliner showdown: Which one wins? 

Perfumerie : Eau De Lacoste Sensuelle

 As soon as this launched earlier this year I knew I had to have it! It's just a scent that resembles a lot of my taste in perfume if that makes any sense.Eau de Lacoste Sensuelle is a follow up to the first Eau de Lacoste which is a lot lighter and more floral in fragrance, with the Sensuelle a lot more sophisticated and elegant than a simple floral perfume.

Mac Osbournes Collection

As we all know Mac does some pretty awesome celebrity collaborations such as Rihanna, Niki Minaj, Lady Gaga etc.. The Osbournes are no exception! Their collection is by far my favourite out of all of Mac's this year.

Elf Contour duo; Blush and Bronzer

So many people have been raving about the Nars blushes and bronzers! So much so that we have found a lot of dupes for some of their well known shades in other lower end brands such as e.l.f and wet & wild.

The Best Rosegold nail polish?!

I have never tried anything from Orly before, despite knowing about their well loved base coat "bonder" and rose gold nail polish in "Rage". It is the most elegant rose gold I've come across and I knew I had to pick it up as soon as I saw it!

Rave Review: Benefit's Porefessional Primer

  

Parfumerie: Victoria's Secret Incredible Daring

An old favourite that will make it's come out for me this summer is Victoria's Secret Incredible Daring perfume! A white floral scent that is clean, fresh and just perfect for summer.

First Impressions: Davines OI shampoo and condition creme

This will be my honest first impression on the Davines OI shampoo and conditioner, meaning that I had just taken a shower and blow dried my hair as normal and the following is my opinion on what I thought from the first use.

May Glambox : Over view and thoughts!

   Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great day.. Today was one of those days that start out miserably but end on a better note. A day where I'm very careful about rubbing my eyes despite not wearing any eyeliner. A good day.

Sophie's closet - Afternoon Tea Event

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of visiting the Sophie's Closet headquarters for an afternoon tea event, and let me tell you.. The jewelery lover in my was happy dancing the whole week! It was beyond beautiful.Maybe I get a bit too excited, but the collections they have are real eye candy. LOVE <3

Review: Micaroon Makeup

Macaroons are all the hype recently, amiright?! Much so that they have created a makeup line dedicated to them.. Micaroon makeup was founded in 2009 and manufactured in the UAE. You can find them at S*uce boutiques in Dubai. You can learn more here --->Micaroon

Bath and Body Works Oil mists!

I have recently been popping into bath and body works a lot !! Every time , I discover another excuse to buy more of their stuff. Most things are great finds or good deals but sometimes I score. These were no exception, a definite score for me. The triple silk body oil mist from Bath and Body works has been my newly found best friend. I've been really into oils lately and I'm loving these, usually I'd use different oils at night to avoid the greasiness throughout the day but these mists are not greasy at all which is actually a bonus!
