Quick Reviews For Busy People

Hello Beauties; I am a sucker for home-made masks and treatments. I was watching one of Farah's Dukhani Instagram quick skin care videos. She showed how to use Vitamin E oil and Evening Primrose oil capsules for the under eye area. So I ordered those two oil capsules thorough Iherb. I popped 1 Vitamin E oil to 6 Primrose oil capsules and used them daily on the under eye area. Although my dark circles were not affected by this treatment, I liked the subtle hydration these two oils performed on my dry under eye area. knowing that you could tell that I was left with a big jar of vitamin E capsules, so I decided to start taking them orally.  Well instead of them laying there for eternity, I though I could take them as supplements and order another bottle if I am willing to continue with the under eye treatments. Now the first few days I felt no side effects at all, then a few days more I felt little discomfort in my digestive system. nothing major or unbearable so ignored it an...

Hello guys; Yes! All you can think about while saying Henna is the red/copper permanent color on hair, and  it is all true. It is very rare and hard to change the color of the henna, especially on white/grey hair.  Yes it is permanent and you can not chemically dye your hair after your henna color/treatment.  However, luckily after so many researches and experiments, I got the finest results I believe anyone could get. I have few pre-mature white hairs, considering that my natural hair color is mochaccino    brown, those greys pop out like stars LOL! I did not want to dye my hair at young age. I did not want to expose it to damage since now. This is when I started looking for henna. What is the best henna type/product? Yemeni  Henna is the best henna. It is well processed and packed. It is rich in color too.  Indian Henna is of high quality too, and richer in red tones. What is the color of henna powder? Good henna sh...

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. ...

The most famous highlighting powders from both brands. Banana is yellow-ish powder where Emphasize is a strike white powder. Which one is better? When to use each? I own both of them and I spent quiet good time with each. I have to set my concealer or it will crease as hell. According to the sizes, Mac powder is larger pan than Banana powder.  You can notice the difference in colors. I used to use MAC Emphasize all the time but once I got the Banana powder I started switching between both of them as follows: - Day time : Banana Powder  - Night Time: Emphasize Powder - Day Time Noticeable Highlight: Extra Banana Powder with little bit of Emphasize Powder - Night Time Brightening : Extra Emphasize with little bit of Banana Powder My philosophy is that it is hard to wear white powder through day time in the sun. I shows like you are wearing tons of highlighting powder, however, when using the banana powder, the yellow tone in it set the unde...

I have been using compact powder products to set my concealer for more than 4 years. I have tried all MAC Emphasize, Anastasia Beverly Hill Banana Powder, MAC Studio Finish Powder, UNE Compact Powder..etc. Recently I have been using Ben Nye loose powder in Cameo - it has pinkish under tone which helps more in neutralizing dark circles -  to set my concealer and OH MY GOD! I am diffidently not going back to compact powder. Compact powder always dries my under eye area and emphasizing the little wrinkles I have. I know this is supposed to be the role of loose powder but in my case it is the compact powder that makes me look 100 years older.  Compact powder shows on my skin like a thick layer. Even if I go light handed it still gives me cake face under my eyes. It shows under day light and it does not eliminate 100% creasing. It helps with in 85% only. Although I have been always a big fa of compact powder especially that these products are hustle free when you are i...

Creasless concealer ! how hard that is to achieve. No matter how expensive or affordable your concealer is, the little fine lines in the eye circle area will always find its way to suck in your concealer. I used to go for every concealer that has "creasless" stamp on it !!.They do help but not as I wished for. So finally I found a new way to wear my  concealer, and frankly speaking, it improved my concealer look about  80%. So these are the steps I follow: Tone and Refresh: Toning your face and eye area not only feels refreshing and clean, but also takes all residues and oils left on your skin for a smoother make up application I use Rose Water Face Spray from Boots: Moisturize !! yes, I know, everybody says that!!. But yes, you have to moisturize your eye area so your fine lines can be filled with the moisturizer you used. So they do not suck your concealer. I use Sanitas Essential Eye Cream. Apply a Crease-less Concealer: Some how they help in t...
