The Fab Five #1

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

Sparkle Attack!

Hi Again! 

I'm happy to announce that one week ago Nazih ( beauty supply store) in my country (Qatar) brought OPI's muppets collection. I was waiting for this collection for the past few months, but they brought Niki Minage's collection before, which is quit interesting. 

Anyway today's post is all about the Muppet's Nail collection, which is by far my favorite collection by OPI. This collection defines sparkles and metallic. Also, it has few opaque colors, but the main focus is the fun and bright colors that scream muppets! 

I only bought 7 colors out of the 12 as the opaque colors are similar to OPI's permanent line. Let's start by showing you pictures of the colors. 



And here a close picture of each four colors: 


I got these four colors and they look amazing, actually now I'm wearing Fresh Frog of Bel Air! I got so many complements on it (A) 


Both of the glittery colors on the left look similar to Katy Perry's collection, but darker and more intense. One coat of these glitter polishes makes wonder!


The red color screams miss piggy! Bottom line go get some from Nazih they have 4 branches and a stand @ villagio mall in front of H&M. 


I didn't get two of the shimmery color, but I might go to get it.  Lastly, here is a tip to remove glitter nail polish: 

Take a cotton ball and dip it in nail polish remover then place it on your nail and cover it with a foil for 5 minutes. It removes it easily without harming your nails! Instead, of rubbing the cotton for 15 minutes. 


Hope you liked this post and tune in for reviews of Armani and Inglot's lipstics. Also, I might post of nail varnishes that I got to show the real colors! Yet, the pictures above are clear! 

This was Roza from philosophy class!

Concealer

Hello! 
I came with my top secret for looking fresh, flawless, awake? Under eyes circles annoys the hell out of me *puts her glasses on* There is no reason that can justifies under eyes circle especially after knowing this product!

I went on a hunt for the perfect concealer and finally after one LONG year I'm proud to announce that 

*drums roll*



*hallelujah*


MAC's studio sculpt concealer


yes it took me 365.242199 days according to google's calculator! 

So this concealer is so creamy, which makes the coverage full and great. Also, magical for people with one or two wrinkles under their eyes. I tried tons of concealers, but nothing compares to this concealer. I promise it worth the money, I just got another one coz its going to be discontinued shame on you MAC shame on you * unsatisfied look* 

I just recommended it for a friend and she bbm-ed me today saying: 
" Rouda, awal shay ys3dk rabi 3la al concealer" If you don't understand Arabic that means may God brings you happiness =D 


I'm happy to have this concealer, which erase the trace of long nights I spent trying to understand International finance *nerd* However, I looked awake and beautiful rocking this concealer! 

Be careful not studio finish concealer its studio sculpt and there is a difference BELIEVE ME! 
Most of you will think that's the most boring post ever, but I assure you this is the most important one ever. Also, go grab one or two you will say that girl knows her business ;)

Spring'12 makeup trends

Hi dolls,
Spring\Summer is here!  So I thought of posting about my favorite makeup trends for this season:
This season is all about having strong, bold look, but do not combine all these trends together that would be a disaster that you and us would like to avoid! Choose on of the following trends and personalize it. It is boring to adapt the same style as your  best friends, Spice it up.  


First: Red Alert!


Choose the shade that suits your complexion, this seasons is about daring looks and what is more daring than wearing a bold red lipstick? 
There are many great colors of red that you can choose from such as M.A.C's ruby woo, which is my favorite this season. It is a rich  matte red color. If you like more daring in your face red russian red from M.A.C is the one, its orange red and makes a statement.
Not impresses with these two colors go on a hunt for a red lipstick whether matte, glossy or satin. Invest in a good red lipstick as red lipsticks are timeless. 
 If you weren't lucky enough to find a color that you love try to mix  red lipliners with lipsticks to make your own unique color. 



Second: Cat Eye.


 My favorite way to rock an eyeliner! Cat eye eyeliner makes your eye looks longer and bigger! I love the effect especially that you can play with this look and personalize it. It doesn't matter if you used a carbon black or neon color this look is in this season and a must. As always my favorite eyeliner is Sensai's eyeliner in black. 

Third: Power Brows.



Shabby, bold, thick or black eye brows are in. Its all about eye brows for me, because brows frame your face and balance your lips. I like to use a color that suits my eye brow shade and make them look fuller and thicker! Its also adds innocence to your face at least in my case. Don't forget to use a eye brow gel to set and define your eye brows my favorite is M.A.C's clear brow set gel. 

Fourth: Extreme Smoky Eye. 



Fabulous  and daring smoky eyes , the style doesn’t require a steady hand to pull off  you don't need to be a makeup artiest the messier the sexier! Just plenty of un-shaking confidence. Don't forget to use loads of concealer to conceal your dark eyes if you have (  Panda look is sooo last year!) Oh don't forget blending is essential in smoky look.


Fifth: Sporty Cheeks.


Use a rosy, peachy color to contour your cheeks. A flush of bronze will give you the same effortless look. If you added loads of blush just blend it using the same brush you used to apply foundation, the greatest trick to make the blusher look softer!


Sixth: White Silver Metallics.


This trend is to die for! I love this look it's angelic and innocent. The model in the picture above looks beautiful!!!! M.A.C  and many brands offer a great iridescent eyeshadows that have loads of shimmer and pigmentation. I would suggest a peachy or rosy ' sporty cheeks' with hint of pink lip stain or peachy lipgloss. 

Seventh: Brilliant PoP of color. 

Add a settle pop of color to your eyes. Don't use eye primer with this look just a flush of color ( pink, orange, green, purple) choose your pop of color. However, don't go crazy with it. In addition, you can use pastel to create a color block look! 

Eight: Doll Lash.



 Let's add some drama to the eyes! If you can't find big I mean BIG eyelash double it use two eyelash sets to make your eyelashes SCREAM! I don't mess when it comes to wearing eyelashes I love eyelashes I don't imagine living without eyelashes. If you don't have them FAKE them ;) 

Ninth: Glittery Eyes.
I bet that Ke$ha is proud finally wearing loads of glitter isn't a fashion crime at least not this season! Girl go find a pack of glitter and slap it on your eyelids I'm not kidding this look is all over the runways. However, I don't think you are allowed to wear it to school or work or weddings unless you were invited to Ke$ha's wedding!


Tenth: Rosebud Lips.

Rosy lips are beautiful and trendy! Use lip stains to achieve this look or hint of lipstick to add to your natural lip color.Some lip glosses give the same result.


Eleventh: Baby Skin. 



I'm the last to one to talk about baby skin! For that I think they mean effortless face makeup not tons of foundation. Baby skin has imperfections that makes them perfect, so don't cover all of your blemishes.

Hope that you enjoyed this post and now I have to do my economics assignment :S

Summer trends : Nail Polishes

Hi!
First, let me thank my friends for supporting me and following my posts I really appreciate it <3 <3 <3 And thanx Nayoola for posting a comment, keep it up Nayoola (A) (A)
I’m obsessed with nail polishes, because it’s allows you to express yourself and be make statements, but without looking “CRAZY” let’s leave the craziness to Lady Gaga she is mastering it ;p jk.  So this summer trends are all about wearing bright, playful and colorful, but you still can rock some dark colors. Don’t be afraid of adding your own signature style to the trend. It’s nice to keep up with the new trends, but it’s more fun and unique to add your own sense of style to it. There are few colors that are noticeable this summer and lots of celebrities were spotted wearing one of the following colors:



1)      ROYAL BLUE: A rich, opaque bluish purple shade that looks equally chic on fingers and toes. Dating A Royal by OPI is great example of royal blue nail polish. It’s classy and trendy, but make sure that your nails isn’t too long.
2)     Sea Foam Green
This creamy pale mint shade is a subtle, more wearable iteration of last season's green polish trend, which was flashier. Example: OPI’s Gargantuan Green Grape, it’s daring and fresh.
3)     Electric Red
Red looks elegant year-round, but during this summer months brighten up with red  with orange undertones.
Example : OPI’s Keys To My Karma is a classic bright red.  
4)     Bright Orange
Nothing looks better with a tan than a vibrant pop of sleek orange nail polish. Example:  OPI’s In My Back Pocket is a great bright orange that looks amazing on glowing/healthy skin “don’t go jersey shore crazy with the tan”.

5)     Turquoise
 Azure for Sure by OPI is a great example of turquoise for this summer. Turquoise is the most worn color by celebrities. It’s shouts summer 2011 !!  Again its looks better with short nails, because it won’t look too much.

6)Deep Purple
From lilac to violet, there are a slew of purple polishes out right now, but for this summer we recommend this pretty, rich lavender hue best.  Example: OPI’s A Grape Fit!

6)     Canary Yellow
This sunny shade will instantly brighten up your summer look.
 Example: OPI’s Need Sunglasses? is one of my favorite yellow, it’s not glittery “perfect”. I believe  glittery orange/yellow nail polishes are tacky and cheap =S stick to the matte glossy ones for these two colors.
7)     Fruit Punch
A playful pinky-red tone that's perfect if you like to work a matching mani-pedi.

8)    Fuchsia:
If hot pink just isn't bold enough for you, try this shimmery or matte magenta lacquer. OPI’s Miami Beet is a great color to wear for this summer.
9)     Glitter :
You can either wear it on all of your fingers or only on the “ring finger”. It’s one of the trends for this summer to make one of your finger pop by wearing different color or design.  OPI has one or two in each collection so get the glittery nail colors once you find it.
Example : I lily love you is a pink glitter similar to Teenage dream , but with coral glitter. It’s from the recent collection and might find it at Nazih.

10) Neon
Eye-popping shades of green, blue and pink are everywhere this summer. These colors have a matte finish with just a hint of shimmer. Example :  OPI’s My Chihuahua Bites! Don’t get the glittery ones again its cheap.
11)  Juicy Pink
Pink polish is a summer staple and we're loving this universally flattering hue, which has hints of coral. Example: OPI Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!

I almost own all of these colors and I love wearing them !! OPI is my favorit brand for nail polishes <3 <3  They sell OPI in Nazih store located in Algharafa street , Al Nasser and Salwa road. In Villagio they have stand in front of H&M = ) hope you liked this post and I'm going to post other trends later today.
