August 2012 Haul

Hey everyone..!

I been very busy lately but every girl can spare some time for shopping..! So me and my friend went to the bath and body works..! So heres what I got..! 

I got a set of Paris Nights.. I think its a bit strong but it smells amazing. Well the bottle says its like "a seductive blend of french jasmine, clementine and cabernet musk, inspired by a dazzling night in the city of lights."

Other then the bath products I got 5 candle holders the 2 metal ones are for my husband. The other three are for me. I got Frankenstein and his wife for storing brushes and I think they look ultra cute..! <3

So I ended up buying three lip glosses.. I think they are the best tasting lip glosses ever.. They are super sweet and even after removing it off I can taste the sweetness.. ! I think these would be my favorite from now onwards.. 

The last thing I got was from a drugstore I was running out of my old scrub which was by St. Ives so I heard from a friend to try the green tea one.. I haven't tried it yet as soon I do ill blog about it.. 

Hoped you all liked my haul..! Till next time XOXO

Natural Turquoise Colour Contacts

Hello again everyone..! Today I'm going to let you in on a secret of mines..! I am so addicted to contacts lens. I got my first pair when I was 15 :P Which was honey.. omg I should get them again lol. Ok so back to the post. I thought its about time I throw my old ones out and replace them. I always go with my sister to buy contact lens so this time I wanted to try something new and decided to order online. I ended up buying 4 pairs. Today I'm only reviewing one.

I was never a fan of Turquoise color but when I saw the picture at eyesbright.com I thought its a must have. Here the image. 

So yes it looks amazing and unique. I was waiting restlessly for it. when I got the package I opened it right away. The service was good and fast. But the contacts aren't anything like this :( I was so disappointed when I saw them. They are nothing like the picture shown which saddens me :(. It cost me around 23 dollars and I can find these for 15 just around the corner of my house. 

So there they are. Nothing so special about them. I must say they are very lightweight and flexible the material is pretty good. I ever had any problems with contacts lens before but with this I see blurry. I don't think it would be like that with everyone maybe it just doesn't suit my eyes. 

Even though I'm not happy with what I got and its not only for this one its for another one as well which I will review some other day. I might try buying from them again but maybe a different brand. So heres how they look when applied.

Hope my post helps and till next time XOXO..!

Philosophy A real Miracles!

Hello everyone, it's been a while I haven't tried to write anything had bought a lot of products and thought I should really stop being lazy and actually start blogging..! So during all that time I been have seriously acne and skin problems. I ever figured out why since I'm not a teen anymore and my hormones levels are just fine..

Lately I been trying different skin products.. I didn't get rid of my acne but my skin is very glowing which I think looks great!!! Every night I wash my face with a mild soap. After tapping the water off with a tissue I been applying hope in a jar with eye hope. 

Hope in a jar: "where there is hope there can be faith. where there is faith miracles can occur."

Heres what the jar says about what it does

• Contains the ester of lactic acid foe exfoliation to help promote smooth, healthy-looking skin.
• Contains beta-glucan to help give your skin a healthy, rosy glow.
• High-performance moisturizer with antioxidants to help protect skin against environmental attack.

I really liked this moisturizer it goes on like butter it's really smooth. Another best thing is it's for all skin types. The only bad thing about Hope in a jar is the smell.. it smells horrible i have no words to describe how bad it smells. Another thing is it doesn't have SPF and i stay out a lot and don't use foundations.

Eye Hope: "with new eyes, a new world can emerge. see the beauty in others, and your days become become magical. see the beauty in nature, and preserve it with all of your heart and soul."

What it does:

• Diminishes the appearance of dark circles.
• Reduces the appearance of puffiness.
• Minimizes the appearance of fine lines.

Now for the eye hope. IT HAS HELPED ME LIKE NO OTHER. I wake up early every morning and don't get enough sleep. So my dark circle have been getting worst. but after using eye hope it has lessen down. It stings a bit when you apply it. Goes on smooth as well. Best thing it doesn't stink..! 

i hope this has helped you out a bit..! Till next time! 

XOXO

Clinique's 3-Step Skin Care System for Mild Skin

Heya, I have been thinking about writing this blog for a while now.sorry for the delay i been lazy lately..so here the review i been dying to do for ages now. Skin is the main thing in beauty as we all know it. So its important for us to keep it neat and clean. There's so much dust and bacteria which cause blemishes and blackheads.

I been using Clinique for quite a while now since teenage acne. This 3 step skin care system should be used twice a day. You will feel a difference after one time use. It leaves skin feeling softer and cleaner.

 Step 1: Liquid Facial Soap Mild

This Product is amazing.. A little goes a long way. It lathers well and leaves your skin feeling soft and clean.

Step 2: Clarifying Lotion
Now this is the best toner i ever used. Its simply amazing. Just when i thought my face was clean as it could ever be and went ahead on using this toner. I took a small amount on a cotton puff and to my surprise after rubbing it on my face it was brown and dirty. It leaves your skin with coolness of mint.

Step 3: Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion with Pump

This lotion smells great. but since i have combination skin it leaves it oily at some spots.. other then that its great for using under foundation.

i totally recommend clinque. its one of the best around. It really helps by making skin better. i feel a difference in a couple of use and if for some reason i get lazy and happen to stop using them i have big breakouts..
i give it a 4 out of 5
till next time XOXO

Ash L'amour's Sassi and Laila clutches

So today im going to be reviewing Ash L'amour's Sassi and Laila.  My sweet and loving husband went shopping for me this Eid <3. I had shown him Ash L'amour's collection on facebook. He was also impressed by the design. First I would like to say the service is amazing. We decided to go for Sassi and Laila (which was a tough choice all the clutches are breathtaking) and ordered at around 3Am and the received them at 1Pm the very next day. Which is a plus. Second we didn't know there was a offer going on those days and we received a email about our order and the total which had 20% off. The company was very honest at this point. :) 

This is Saasi. The name is as beautiful as the clutch itself. I really love the color combo and it would go great with anything. The design is very neatly done.

Now this baby here is Laila. I'm in love which this one :p. Its so beautiful. The color combo is a classic but always in style. The silver looks amazing. 

Now if we look at them from the sides. Sassi is more slim then Laila. But both seem to carry the same amount of stuff cause Sassi's lenth is a little more then Laila. 

The outer part of both the clutches are made from good Quality leather where as the inner part is made out of fine cloth. It closes very tightly cause of three magnetic buttons. It has a a little pocket. The brand name is nicely placed on top of the pocket. I found these bags to be awesome.

I totally recommend Ash L'amour! Its good quality, beautifully made, great for everyday or on a night out. Best thing is it's quite affordable.

Till next time xoxo..!

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick Review

          Last week my brother bought me two of Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipsticks: Rose Shimmer 370 and Coral Shimmer 120. Each cost him seven American dollars. Both have the sun protection factor (SPF) 18. Both moisturize one's lips, aren't sticky, and last quite a while. It weighs 4 grams and .14 ounces.

Rimmel's Moisture Renew Rose Shimmer 370

          

          This lip stick has a rosy color and, of course, a shimmer. It reminds me of cotton candy and smells yummy. :P It is soft and easily damaged. (Note: Keep away from long nails.) It is great for both day and evening wear. 

Rimmel's Moisture Renew Coral Shimmer 120

         This lipstick shade is a peachy orange with a gold shimmer. It goes great with smokey eyes. Personally, I like to use it with a natural look. It smells like cinnamon. It would work for all seasons of every year.

Smile for the camera!




MY RATING: 4.0
I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND BOTH THESE LIP STICKS FOR ALL THOSE MAKE UP LOVERS OUT THERE!!!
SPECIAL THANKS TO W FOR MODELING AND K FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.
