Nail It

ORLY beauty product

Essie nail polish

Once again I return after disappearing for few months =) 

Anyway I went on a very interesting journey las year and I cannot wait to share the details and my beauty findings with you.

Yesterday someone posted a comment asking about nail polishes and I decided to write a post about the following brands: essie, orly and china glaze. I'm going to write about pros and cons and how I feel about the product itself. 

Essie: 

Fortunately, essie is one of the brands that you can find easily in Doha. Many beauty stores and nail salons will sell you essie products, so you don't need to panic when you are looking for a certain color. 

Moreover, the nail polish pay off is so very good in comparison to high end nail polishes. The price is ok which is around 40 something riyals. 

However, I hate the light colors from essie: 

1) The color changes into this awkward color after one day of applying the nail polish, even after applying a very good top coat. 

2) You need to apply at least three coats to get the exact color as the bottle ( I mean the nail polish).

3) It takes long time to dry if you applied three coats of nail polish, so don't bother applying the nail polish if you are going to rush out the door in 30 minutes! 

Lastly, there is a very good store in Alsad road near Almuftah Jewlery and right above Larissa store( I totally forgot the name of the store). They have the entire collection and the guy will give you a good price. 

China glaze: 

It is hard to find in Doha, the only place that I know that sells china glaze are the express beauty booths in Villagio and Landmark. The price is few riyals more than OPI so about 45 or so. I would say china glaze are exactly like OPI, but in different packaging. The pay off is amazing and the colors don't chip so fast especially if you seal it with a good top coat (  Inglot top coat is amazing). 

The only con is the booth don't have a variety of colors so I would recommend going to Nazih or the place in Alsad. 

Orly: 

Bottom line you won't be able to find it anywhere in Doha, but you can order them online. To be honest I'm not impressed by the ones I bought and I don't think they are worth the 15 $ I paid for. They chip so fast and I don't understand all the fuss was about. 

Orly nail polishes were the first things I bought in DC and I only wore the nail polish once. I bought the metallic ones. 

Recommendations: I will totally splurge on  essie nail polishes especailly dark colors and if I passes by the booth in Villagio and one of china glaze's colors caught my eye I will buy it. For now I won't be ordering any orly products. 

Hello Dolls <3

Hope you are having a great week, bcoz I'm having a fab week =D

So this post is about spicing up your makeup for EID <3 For Eid I love wearing makeup that won't change through the day and easy to retouch =D

Here are few products that I like to use to make my makeup looks extra special for Eid or any other occasion

So lets start with my favorite trick to make my makeup looks done professionally by adding eyelashes you make your eyes looks sexier and bigger! My favorite eyelashes are by MAC I love no.7 bcoz it looks natural "don't forget the glue if you are getting eyelashes for the first time". It might take time to know how to apply them easily ,but it's totally worth the try!

 Here is a link of how to apply false lashes HERE!

I never like my makeup to get oily or to just disappear! I like to control people, makeup,hair and if I can the universe! So in order to control my e/s I like to use primer to make it stay for a very long time until I decide to remove it. The best product that will allow you to do this is Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight, which is anti-crease eye shadow primer. It used to be sold out all the time ,but lately Sephora decided to be generous enough and get more stock <3

Another product that doesn't make my  face makeup VANISH is Too Faced Primed & Poreless. It holds your face makeup in place all day ,which is PERFECT for Eid "kissing people on the cheeks makes me nervous".I like to keep my makeup on my face not on others =D. In addition, this product has vitamins that are good for your skin and acts like retinol!

If you like lip gloss Inglot's 544 is by far my favorite lip-gloss. I always recommend this lip-gloss it's natural pink. My go to lip-gloss.

Kinda Sexy is one of favorite lipsticks its looks amazing with any look. Suitable for any skin tone. Check my other post for other  lipstick colors.

My favorite bronzer is Bronze Universel it's creme bronzer and looks natural. I love it <3

You have to spice up your nails by either applying  nail application on all of your nails or only on your ring finger with matching color. Available at Sephora!

LAST product is a perfume by Armani "Rose Alexandrie" OPPS misspelled it in the picture =$ My Sister Beeba loves this perfume and she spent the last year looking for this perfume ,but now Salam sells it =D It's floral and I have to admit its smells cute <3 I got mine try it and you will fall in love with it! And it stays for long time =D

If you have oily skin try using blotting sheets to obsorb the oils and make your face look fresh , you can brush some lose poweder on your T. Zone for more freshness. Using these blotting sheets before powdering your face doesn't make your face look cakey and you don't want look like clown believe me. Any other brand will work mark spencer has a good blotting paper and if you can get clean and clear that would be greate ummm i think boots sells some.

Have a nice Eid everyone <3 Spend your time with your loved ones and try to enjoy each minute of Eid ,but most important try to donate dresses and shoes  or whatever you don't need for the poor = ) And finally try to smile even if you feel sad or missing someone =))))Smiling gives you a beauty that  even makeup can't give ;)

P.S: Feel free to tweet me a request or comment your request I would be more than happy to help you since I have nothing to do for Eid I'm ready BRING IT ON =D

Inglot Freedom System Blush

Here you can take a look at the blushes available as Inglot’s Freedom System. All of these shades are matte (in the picture below), but there are some with tiny shimmer which is really hardly visible so I think these blushes are great for someone who doesn’t like shimmery blushes or if you have oily skin (you don’t need the extra shine believe me). Inglot offers almost 40 shades, which gives you the chance to choose the color that screams YOU! You can make your own palette with this system or mix and match other products. Also, the pigmentation is GREAT! I have been using these blushes for the past three or four years <3 <3 Here are the numbers of the following blushes:

Coral >Freedom Blush 29 (Looks amazing with cat eyes and pale lips)

Brown> Blush 22 (Clash this natural color with bright lips<3 <3)

Fleshtone> Blush 28 (Wear it with pink lips bright or pale)

Baby pink> Blush 20 (Pair it with nude lips!)

You can buy this at :

Hyatt Plaza Gate 1
Doha State of Qatar
phone: +974 77243323

Try to clash your blush with your lipstick if you aren’t wearing eye makeup or clash it with your eye makeup if you are wearing dark smoky eye. Try not to mix and match your makeup not that HOT! Another tip: tap your brush before applying your blush to your cheeks. If you feel that you applied way too much blush sweep your cheeks with lose powder to make it look natural.

Don’t go crazy with the blush it’s about looking shy and virtuous not CRAZY!!
