Nail It

Untitled #12 by rozaqtr featuring essie nail polish

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. 

My Eid Makeup !

Hello Girls!

Eid Mubarak<3 Hope you had a great Eid with your family as I did. I checked the comments and there was lonely comment requesting my makeup look for Eid. I wish I knew who was the annonymus who left the comment to thank her ,because she made my day :**** So I decided to try my best and do my first face chart =D I totally love thed looked and applied it twice the same day coz I took a nap! But both the times the makeup looked neat and lovely "prettier than the face chart, I wish I could put pictures of the real makeup but I can't"

So  I wore a muddy green dress "Olive color" and I just had my eyebrows tinted so I didn't want to wear heavy makeup and decided to go with soft shades.

1) I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance  "glitter glue" to keep my e/s from creasing. It's AMAZING! My e/s was perfect didn't smudge or fade<3 The difference between this primer and the other one from the previous post "Candlelight" is that the one I used for Eid is for loose and shimmery e/s.

2) I applied the champagne color all over my lid and applied the color bellow it into the crease ,to intensify the look I added the darkest color in the quad into the crease and blended it out.

3) I needed to intensify the color more by adding carbon e/s (any black color will work) to the crease and BLENDed the colors together! Don't add to much of the black e/s, because you want to keep the look soft and you don't want to lose the brown color.

4) To soften the harshness of the edges  I add some crystal avalanche to the brow bone and blended it out. I applied  Bobbie Brown's eyeliner in black.

After I applied Amani's eyest to kill mascara and poped MAC's no 36 eyelashes. I applied 17 wild curl in Black Brown "avaiable at boots" to my bottom lashs.

For my face I used Too Faced primer (applied it only on the T-zone) and applied on top dior's foundation

 "Forever" ,which is for oily skin ( Extreme wear). To cover my dark circle under my beautiful eyes :p I used MAC's studio finish concealer.

I used Chanel bronze univesal to my cheeks( YOU MUST MAKE THE FISH FACE) to  know where is your cheek bones =D and than added some blush on the apple of my cheecks (sunset Beach by Cargo) it's pinky and peachy!

The final step was to put lip pencil and lipstick ON.

Here is my first face chart, it looked waaaaay better on my ,didn't know how to do it , but I promise I will practice  more (A)

Hope who ever requested my Eid look was satisfied and liked it and hope that all of you enjoyed it as well. Next post will be about second day of Eid !

If someone has a blog please comment and leave your link, I would like to check your blogs =D Thank you guyz so much you really make me happy.

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

What's in her makeup bag? "Sister's Edition"

Hello!

I’m back with a new post =) Here is what in my sister’s bag <3 Beeba is my older sister and who made me fall in LOVE with makeup. She is makeup ADDICT =) like me and not afraid of trying new products and colors. I’m sorry not all of the products available in Qatar, but the good news is most of them available in MAC, Sephora and Salam.

Recommendations:

I would recommend most of these products because I use them too:

1)      Crystal avalanche one of my favorite highlighters mine is almost out *scared*.

2)      Sensai eyeliner is my favorite eyeliner I got my second one yesterday I thought I should get new pen since I bought mine 4 years ago (A). However, you can refill it instead of buying one.

3)      Armani blush is great blush has loads of tiny tiny tiny shimmer, not very visible.

4)      Guerlian has great colors and kinda pricy but it’s worth it.
