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. 

Super Woman

Hello dolls, 


Today I thought of sharing few tips that makes me feel like a super woman. There are those days that you feel like a sack of insecurities or you did not have the time to sleep or perhaps you walk up late and you need to run out as fast as you can! 


So I'm a college students and I don't get to sleep as much as I want. Most days I'm hunted by loads of papers, readings, postings all that jaz that every student unfortunately has to do. For that, I need all the coverage that the fairy of camouflage  can give me. M.A.C's studio sculpt is by far my favorite concealer that covers under eye circles and blemishes. The creamy consistency is what makes it perfect, especially for ladies with few wrinkles! 




The second product that I'm mega obsessed with is Urban Decay's All nighter. It is a long-lasting makeup setting spray and you only need to mist your face 2-4 times. Then you don't need to worry about losing your face! I spend 30 minutes of my day to apply my makeup and I don't need to worry about it fading. I really appreciate this product  I used it few times and I think I'm in love! 


I hate and when I say I hate im not kidding you ladies, when my eyeshadow decides to leave my eyelid to socialize with my eye crease not hot. For that, I always need to wear eyeshadow primer and my recent finding is Urban decay's primer potion ( not the original one) it has a great consistency that makes your eyeshadow stick to its place. The colors looks vibrant and lovely after applying them and remember with primers less is always more!


Urban Decay's products are available at sephora-Qatar


Lastly, Eyeko's lipstains I totally love these products in general especially in the exam week. The tint of color makes your lips look delicious and moisturized. Not only that they taste good too! You can find these in most brands but this one is my favorite and more importantly affordable! 


you can order this from: asos.com


These are few of the products that I really enjoy using and make me feel like super woman. You don't need to show people that you are having a bad day unless you really want the professor to feel sorry for you. However, most days I need the help of one or three of these products to survive the day.


Hope you enjoyed this post and comment with your blog link if you have one! I would really appreciate your feedback even through twitter : @RoudabintRabeah

Pop of Pink

Hi Again! 


I'm on fire I know (A)! Today I'm blogging about pink products either they are pink or have a pink packaging. Lets start with my favorite new findings:


Benefit's cream eyeshadow in R.S.V.P


It's a light pink color with a gold rose undertone. I always wear a primer before applying creamy eyeshadow to make sure my eyeshadow will not stray. Perfect for daily makeup with winged eyeliner and loads of mascara. You can add a soft brown to your crease and blend it too. 




Benefit's bad gal mascara 


One of my favorite mascaras bad gal mascara adds volume to your eyelash and make them look fuller. It is affordable in comparison to other high end mascara. 


M.A.C's blush in harmony 


Lovely! It looks very bright in the ban, but when you apply it it looks light and pretty. One of my favorite pink shades at the moment. It is matte, which makes it great for summer! Especially if you have an oily skin. 
It looks amazing with bronzer I simply LOVE it! 


illamasqua's blush in Chased


Is a matte, blue-based medium pink. Personally, I found this shade a bit hard to pull off, but I liked it softly tapped onto the apples of cheeks with a smoky eye and a light pink or nude lip.I also like that you can build up the color intensity by applying more, but you don’t have to worry about getting too much with just one swipe, either. I found just one tap of the brush on the powder was enough to give me the color intensity I wanted more often than not.


order it from: 


asos.com
Nars's Schiap lipstick


Is a bright, fuchsia-pink with a semi-matte finish. It has no shimmer, but it does have a slightly glossy sheen, so it doesn’t a completely matte finish. Schiap applies beautifully–soft, smooth, and the color looks even with little effort. I wear it with nude eyes ( mascara only) or with a cat eye.


order it from:
saks.com


OPI's pink flamenco 


Amazing pinky nail polish. You only need two coat of this color to have full coverage. 


illamasqua's plunge lipstick


I always gets complements when I wear this. Most importantly its matte lipstick with lots of coverage. Yet, you need to polish your lips before applying this lipstick. 


order it from: 
asos.com


Hopefully you enjoyed this girly girl post! Comment if you have request!

The Fab Five #1

Hello!


Summer started and that means Im posting more this few months! Today Im going to share with you my fab five things that pumps up my look and few of my recent discoveries. For special occasions you have to add few things that makes your look extra special and different from your usual daily look. Here are few of my newest beauty findings:


#1
Soft And Gentle mineralize skinfinish from M.A.C


The most amazing and versatile highlighter. I love using soft and gentle as a brow bone, cheekbone and sometimes to add some shine to my face. It is highly pigmented and at the same time settle.  Also, matches all skin tones and whatever blush you are using. Unlike, other highlighters that might be pink or peach tones, soft and gentle is a champaign color that works amazingly. I totally recommend trying this highlighter.




#2
Eyelash Comb by Tweezerman


So few months ago I was so excited about the idea of eyelash comb, but I was not able to find it where I live. However, I looked for it online and I found a great website that ships it to Qatar. When I recieved it I almost fainted omg I you will not believe me, but this really works and makes difference! You have to get the one by Tweezerman not by any other brand, there is a huge difference. I use it after applying the first coat of mascara and then I comb my eyelashes and apply a second coat. 
Or I used it once with YSL mascara, which is amazing but so clumpy. I scobed mascara with the comb and applied it I loved the effects it gives your eyelashes AMAZING! Yet, the mascara made my eyelashes fall. 


I ordered mine from asos.com 


#3
Rouge Allure Velvet by Chanel


The most amazing consistency especially for a Chanel lipstick. It supposed to be matte, but its not like any other matte M.A.C lipstick. I ordered two from harrods to try and I felt in love with them. My sister ordered the whole collection, which most of them are lovely, but the ones that I liked for summer are number 33( goldy peachy color), number 37( bright pink) and planning to order number 44,43,42. For the first time i really recommend trying Chanel lipsticks they are moisturizing and not tacky. 


#4
 Eyelashes


Not necessarily the one in the picture, but any eyelash pair that make you feel dolled up. I love wearing eyelashes whenever I feel self conscious or ready to rock the day! I use half lashes for the day and full ones for parties, weddings and sometimes for special family gatherings. All you need is patience to apply fake eyelashes. 


#5
 Chanel's hair mists 


Chanel has many hair mists that complement their fragrance line. You only need to find the scent that suits your taste and preference. I love applying hair mists to my hair its just adds to the glam and who doesn't want her hair to smell nice?   I feel amazing when I walk smelling like a basket of flowers =) If you look beautiful you have to match your smell with it guyz! 








Hope you liked this post and see you soon
