Super Woman

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

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

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

Spotless Skin!

Halla!

Long time no see! I miss sharing new findings with you guyz, I'm so happy to see more viewers view my blog :))) I hope you like my posts and if you have any Request feel free to share. Also, if you have a blog I will be more than happy to check it and follow it after all I'm here to help and learn from you too.

Anyway! Two weeks ago I found the most amazing makeup remover. It's the one and only bioderma sensibio H2O.

Believe me it's amazing unlike Dior , loreal and other brands that I used before this one is a winner!

Remove all the traces of makeup without leaving any residue on your face. More importantly if you have an oily skin it will not make your face shines. I love the lightness of this product it's amazing and affordable.


It's available at any drug store in Qatar , which means you don't need to hunt it! Boots sells it too, bioderma is amazing skin care line and medical.

Don't forget to share your favorite makeup cleanser! And share the love.

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
