Sanitas Brightening Peel Pads

Image
I heard about these pads from one of my friends. They are truly hard to find and I searched alot of websites to order this product. Finally, after many trials I found one and I ordered and I got mine yesterday. Basically I needed those pads to tighten my pores on my cheeks. So yesterday I removed my make up, cleansed my face with Bioderma Facial wash, tonned my face with Botanics Rose Water Face Mist, and used the Sanitas Brightening Pads. When you open the jar you find circular pads stacked over each others, their texture is little bit rough, they have diamond shapes all over the pad. The pad is soaked with the acids you can feel its dampness. So I started wiping my face with it, it felt refreshing at first like you are rolling some mint on your face, Then after few seconds I felt little stings on my face, mostly from the edges of the diamond shape textures on the pad. I also felt some heat on my face - nothing that is painful-. The pad dried completely and I waited

Salon Moroccan Bath / My through and after Moroccan Bath Routine .

Image
A Moroccan bath is a steam bath that the body is soaked in for a period of time then followed with a special greenish soap that is put on the entire body for around 10 minuets to soften the dead skin, then after rinsing, followed by a special loofah which scrubs the dead skin out of the body. When starting with the loofah you can see the dead skin rolls falling out of your skin surface. The Moroccan bath leaves the skin glowing, soft, radiant and moves the blood circulation in your body because of the scrub that is done during the bath.It is just a wonderful, relaxing experience that every girl needs to make each month or each two months. I do my Moroccan bath in salons, It is easier and I can relax while someone else is scrubbing out the dead skin. And it is a treat for myself once in a while. I bear steam so well, so sometimes the girl in the salon leaves me soaking in the steam for around 15-20 minuets. Then she comes in to put the Moroccan soap on my entire

Active Yeast Facial Mask - DIY-

This miracle mask is used mostly for brightening effect. It helps with discoloration and scars and it moisturize the face due the existence of honey in its ingredients.

How to plan your trip

My husband and I are currently planning to visit Dubai. We heard all good stuff about it and I am excited to go there. Now we are going for only a couple of days, and due the lack of time we want to maximize the use of it and try to visit as many places as we can. So we did the following steps: 1- Choose the right dates of travelling: ofcourse considering annual leaves or holidays, checking suitable prices with suitable airlines. Try to book early, as when you book for near dates prices rise. We booked 3 weeks before our actual date of travelling. 2- Check your legal documents and/or visas: check your passport, your visa requirements, your validity dates...ets. Oh my god I always have a problem when it comes to travelling!. Thank god however I never missed a flight :D *lucky face* 3- choose the most convenient Hotel: I mean most of us consider prices, but away from that, choose the hotel you feel you need. Some of us like classic decor, other like modern or urban. Choos

Diorskin Nude Air Serum / Dior Serum Foundation

Image
How do I start. You can tell that I am a huge fan of Dior cosmetics, though it is in the pricy side, yet it is very durable, and a small amount goes a long way. You do not need a foundation or a mascara each month :D !!. The Sample I had I first tried this foundation from a sample I had, oh my god, you can immediately feel the velvety finish on your skin. The foundation brush flowed freely on my face, the blending was so easy and the amount of the sample - properly a dime size- was enough for my entire face and the upper area on my neck. This is what I meant by you do not use much of your product and it is going to last a good period of time. That was - obviously-  for sheer coverage .You feel you are wearing nothing on your face, it is like your bare skin but better. The packaging of this foundation as all Dior products is so luxurious and fancy and the texture of the liquid inside is runny and light weight. The finish of the Dior Air Serum is so smooth and dewy,

I got this palette once it was launched. First of all I was attracted to its elegance - basics of Dior- the mat black fabric that covers the palette says it all. the zipper charm is so luxurious, it is not easy to use as you fell you will pull out the whole zipper when you try to open it but it is okay, you can manage.

How I ship to my Country / Aramex Shop and Ship Service / How It Works

Image
Simply this service helps you get products from websites that do not ship to your country by providing you with 12 addresses in different countries registered under your name.Those countries cover the USA, the UK, Italy, Dubai, Canada,China and others. I use this Service ALOT as everything here in my region is either unavailable or extremely over priced. This service gets my shipment to my door step for its real money value added to it the shipping cost.  The only concern is the shipping fees ofcourse. Those are calculated according either to the weight or to the volumetric weight.  For example: If your parcel is around 0.5 KG in weight but 20X30X10 cm3,  so its weight is 0.5 KG   its Volumetric weight is  Width x Length x Height in Cm / 6000 or 5000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms = 1 KG   so the fees will be calculated for 1 KG not 0.5 KG. This matters when the site you order from packs your parcel wrong, some of them use a huge packing box for small stuff, so the v

LipMonthly Review

LipMonthly is a monthly subscription where you pay 10$ and get a package for lip products only. Usually the package contains 4-5 lip products which cost more than 10$. they offer monthly or 3 months or yearly subscriptions. I had around 3-4 packages then I suspended my subscription as the shipping to my country takes so much time that Lipmonthly used to deduct the money for the upcoming package without me receiving the past package. Basically shipping used to take more than 30 working days. I liked the concept. It is like surprising yourself for 10$. It is like getting gift each month ! (forever alone:D )... ANYWAY, I used the products I got many time and they are good quality ones. they are drugstore products, mostly milani and NYC lipsticks. I like the pouch that comes with the package, It has unique design for each month. You can use it later as a makeup bag. Overall, I think you might want to give it a try at least once. I am sure you will like the experience.

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi

Image
OMG. FINALLY A SPA PEDI IN YOUR HOME.. I heard about this device since long, and I hesitated about it because it is - at least for my region- in the pricy side, especially that its head should be replaced once in a while - I do not like commitments :D- anyhow after long thinking and searches I bought at finally from one of the pharmacies and immediately went home to try it . I know because of my researches about it that I my feet need to be dry while using it, especially that the device itself is not water resistant - Do not take it with you to the shower-. I found it difficult to control the first time I used it because i did not know for sure which direction to follow. after few trials I figured it out. Once you start your session you notice fine powder is flying out of the device's head, some of this powder settles on the ankle, which made it hard alittle to tell by sight when to stop, but you ca always touch and you fell the smoothness immediately. after finish

My Healthy looking skin

Okay, As a start I am not here to pretend that "O.M.G ma skin is fabulous" and brag about it . No, I am just here to share with you some steps I follow to have a better skin, No blemishes, discolorations, black or white heads. textures, dryness and fine lines. BTW I am a heavy make up user. I wear make up everyday which increases my opportunities to have clogged pores. this is my skin with BB cream - No full coverage foundation- No filters -  I used iPhone front camera to shoot this. As overall conditions I consider it good condition skin. Those are the steps I follow for better skin : CLEANING :   I never sleep with make-up on my face. I use clarisonic Mia 2 (normal skin brush for night use and radiant brush head for morning use) with La-Roch facial wash. Perfect together!!                SKIN PREPPING : I use Perricon MD blue plasma for night use and Mogador Argan oil for morning use - I sometimes mix it with my foundation-

How to make the hair-mask experience a better one!

Image
I used to put hair oil since too long, i must say that oils helped me alot and saved my hair as i am a heavy user of heat and styling products. So after each hair styling I retreat myhair with oils so I don't feel guilty to death. Honestly I used not to find that much of results from one use but it didn't stop me. Once I was wearing virgin coconut oil,wraapping my hair with plastic wrapper ,and one neighbour decided to knock my door. So I immediately wrapped my hair with a towel which happened to be warm  as i showered before the hair mask and I forgot aboutthe towel and stayed for around 2 hours with it, then I showered and dried my hair as usual but when i started styling it, OH MY GOD!!! it was sooooooo smooth that i spent only 2/3 of the time i used to consume!!!  It controlled my frizziness that i didnot have to touch up my hair once I am done - I used to do that / told you i was an intense user of heat :D-anyway you guys have to try this technique and please l
