My 2 stars from Make Up For Ever Primers!!

Image
One or two months ago, Make Up For Ever launched their new line in primers, they produced around 10 of them at once. they have different colors and functions. they are divided into two categories according to their function: 1- priming the skin  2- equalizing the skin  Priming the face means improving the texture of your skin, hiding fine lines and pores, giving hydration to dry areas or nourishing the skin overall. and that is the job of :smoothing primer.  Mattifying Primer , hydrating primer and nourishing primer Equalizing the face means correcting the skin color, hiding redness or dullness, reducing imperfections or correcting the undertones of the skin. and that is the job of  Redness Correcting Primer,  Radiant Primer in all colors.

How to Remind Yourself to Drink More Water at Work

I used to forget to drink water for 1-2 days without any problem! I did not used to like water or its taste. One day I decided to change and drink more to enhance my skin conditions and  my overall health. Fortunately, this was one of the steps that dramatically changed my skin and wellness. It was hard at first so I followed few steps and tricks to always remind and force myself to drink more water. 1- Search for the benefits of drinking enough water and the changes you except: I started by searching on how water effects us, and how much should I drink and what to expect when drinking enough water. Also what is dehydration causing me. Google is filled with such articles. Read as much as you because it is a great motive. 2- Put in mind that drinking water causes skin/hair anti-aging: Enough said! Enough hydration plumbs the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and reveals healthy and young looking skin and body. Water also prevents hair breakag...

How to maintain your makeup at work

Image
I wear makeup to work. But after spending 8-9 hours at work. Our make up is then exposed to hard conditions. So we need to reinforce it. HAHAHAHAHA These are the steps I follow for keeping my makeup fresh looking: 1- Mario Bedascu Rose Water Face Mist: I always have this mist in my bag for refreshing my makeup and my face in general. It is very light weigh and it smells good. It is safe to apply over your makeup. I use it also to get rid of the powdery look for my face when applying makeup. 2- Compact foundation / powder for touch up: usually the foundation rubs off near jaw line and around mouth areas fast. These areas are often touched and rubbed with our hands. I always keep a compact powder -you could totally use compact foundation too- for touch ups every now and then. I prefer MAC 3- Cotton Swab: When working outdoor for long time your mascara or eyeliner smudges. I always keep some cotton swaps in my bag for removing smudges around the eye area. ...

Sigma Vs Zoeva Vs Morphe

Image
OH MY GOD.. I can not believe that finally there is other brands for make up brushes waaaay cheaper than MAC and Sigma with the same performance and the same quality! This is heaven on earth!! I used to use all MAC brushes at first, then I started using sigma. It is true that sigma brushes are excellent quality and they have different designs, however, every time I wanted to order - the very basic brushes- my cart turns out to cost me a fortune. Not to mention that copper or gold colors are more expensive!.  Despite all the expenses I bought all sigma brushes and they worked wonderful, except one which is the F80 brush, I had little issue with it but the company replace it for me ( I like companies who stay behind their products!).. Then I met  Zoeva  !!! UUGGHHHHH!! I ordered the "romantic copper" set for about US 78$ only, I received 12 eye brushes. They are like HEAVEN, soft hair, great at application or blending, many designs for the brushes...

Nourishing ,Organic & Plumbing Tinted Lip Balm, With Many Shades !

Image
Lips are the most forgotten face area when it comes to skin care. I totally support this theory as none has the time to buy specific products, scrubs, creams , etc for the lips. At least I don't! And by the way I do not buy specific lip scrub. I scrub them with what so ever scrub I am using for my face! However I have to mention that my lips get dry sometimes which forces me to moisturize them more. And this is when I started using this home made lip balm, and it works like wonders. Here is what you are going to need: 1- Virgin Coconut oil 2- Almond Oil   -for extra nourishment and Vitamin A packing- 3- Raspberries, beetroot, pomegranate or strawberries for coloring                  - Depending in the redness you need- 4- Peppermint Oil  - for little bit of plumbing! -  A - Smash the raspberries, beetroot or pomegranate what ever you like. Then use a strainer to get rid of limps or seeds. The...

My Morphe Brushes Collection

Image
Morphe Brushes, every you-tuber's, MUA's and blogger's current favorite brand. Not only because it is very high quality and pigmented products, but also because it is very affordable. Anyone could get a Morphy Product. I have known Morphy since 2013, but after the famous you-tuber Jaclyn Hill discovered the brand, Morphe stroked and started to bloom more and more. They started to have higher sales rates and more money cash flow. It became very obvious to track the changes in their website or marketing plans. Morpgy brushes are awesome.I like their brushes ALOT. I m not  a big fan of their eye shadows, they do fine to me. But the brushes OMG! very high quality, very smooth and great in application. The wide range of their makeup brushes is very exciting! It is literally like brushes heaven. Who does not like makeup brushes! These are my brushes coleection, I know they are few but as I was into sigma brushes and Zoeva, I happen to have all brushes needed for each make...

I purchased Mogador Argan oil a year ago. I bought it on sale so it costed me about 44.95 $ for 4 oz. originally I bought t because it was cheaper than the Josie Maran Argan oil, and after a good amount of researches, I found that they are both identical. here is the mogador argan oil description: Mogador Certified Organic Argan Oil is a 100% pure argan oil for skin care and hair treatment. Known as Moroccan oil, this natural cosmetic multi-purpose pure organic argan oil has been proven effective in treating many skin problems. Mogador pure Argan oil is a cold pressed argan oil that acts as a moisturizer with anti-aging properties that rejuvenates skin affected by the sun and harsh environments.

It also added some shine and healthy looking the the hair. I also noticed some improvement ...
