My Love for Roberto Cavalli is going crazy & Absolutely honored to be a part of the RC Paradiso launch event 😍

Here’s a short review on my New Fav – ( Launching soon )

Description :
*The new fragrance is a refined, carnal, sensual and very feminine, but also relaxed and carefree holiday scent. It is designed to highlight the natural charm of women and to help women feel attractive. The fragrance was created by Louise turner

Paradiso is described as floral – woody fragrance of the Mediterranean
Top notes : citrus,bergamot,mandarin
Heart notes : jasmine
Base notes : pine tree ,cypress, pink laurel.

My thoughts-
Packaging: so glamorous,😍beautiful enough to bring people to try it on!

its Gorgeous fresh floral lush jasmine.The delicious jasmine is powerful at first and almost sharp, but it quickly settles and the citrusy notes come out. As it dries down the jasmine is even more sweet, and blends nice with the sweet citrusy notes. Definitely attention grabbing 😍

Do you like glitter? I Love it actually…It can easily take a smokey eye from ordinary to glamorous, this glitter is beyond amazing 😍 the size compared to price- gives you more for your money vs MAC.

January 31, 2015January 31, 2015 ~ Zahra S ~ 4 Comments

😘
Everyone needs something cute/colorful in their life,
Something that really attracts me to purchase a product, would definitely be the packaging.

I’m a sucker for anything that looks cute or smells amazing. (Am I the only one? Hope not!) LOL

Make-up brand that really caught my eye!

Uhh, Sounds so delicious 😍

About the brand

Cream Eyeshadow : BURJ

is a dark silver-shimmered gray. This one felt like it had larger sparkle particles, –however, it has a much more of a metallic finish,
really well-pigmented and buildable

Lipgloss: GIGI & SWAK

😘
lovely pink with soft swirls of shimmery colour.It’s a dinky little pot, . It’s a light sparkly pink ( i really feel like im a princess)
Both of these products aren’t at all sticky/gritty, which is ooh lala good!

lipstick :HMU

The orangey coral formula is pretty much perfect, super pigmented & really creamy & comfortable to wear.

lipstick : UNICORN

In love with this color, 😍
This lipstick is my absolute favorite

Mascara:

Im so happy with this & it is one of my HG mascara now
I find it to be right between a wet and dry formula, which I love because it’s very easy to apply and doesn’t clump or smudge much at all. You don’t need much product to get fluffy natural lashes💜

Blush: ROSA

This blush is beyond amazing I swear.I don’t even know how to explain how perfect this product is. It is basically what I expect all in one product.

💋Omg guys Look at how cute and trendy are these ? Why didn’t anyone else come up with something so cute? It comes with a adorable multitasking brush 💜 which u can use for eyeliner / lipstick / lipgloss .. Etc

How To Find Your Perfect “Foundation” ?

January 18, 2015January 18, 2015 ~ Zahra S ~ 2 Comments

Hey sweethearts 💖

Just a mini post today,

As I get so many questions about ” Best foundation ” , and ” How to find the perfect shade ”

phewww … I know its not an easy task to find your right shade !! Even i had hard times choosing the right shade for me when I started applying foundation,

Sometimes I looked like a Wax Figure , (oh boy trust me that doesn’t look cool)
When I actually came to know that how scary i was looking 😂 I started googling to gain some knowledge about ” choosing the right shade ” and for a flawless application 👍

Okay so, choosing a foundation isn’t that difficult , but definitely its just time consuming,

This is what I do before opening my wallet:

•There are different formulas for different –skin types•

Liquid foundation – All skin type
Powder foundation – normal – oily skin
mouse foundation – combination – Oily skin
Cream foundation : normal – dry skin
BB cream – All skin type

The whole point of wearing a foundation is to give us a smooth canvas, to hide flaws and blur the appearance of pores.

Never try foundation that is too light or too darker than your skin , also don’t try to use foundation / powder to change the color your face ! It shows up in the camera or daylight which is so not pretty darling.

•Matching•

Avoid trying it on your arm, hand, or wrist, as these areas of the body can be different shades than your face.🙏
apply three different shades of foundation in vertical stripes, from the cheekbone to right below the jawbone.
And always go and check in the natural light
The shade that disappears and blends into the face and neck is the one for you.
2015/01/img_8039.jpg

•Coverage•

Sheer – lightest coverage for even out skin tone ,have a natural look for daily basis
Medium – To hide blemishes, discolorations or other minor imperfections.
Full – Hides imperfections/scars Best for photoshoots/ weddings

Start making the makeup appear completely Natural … By using the right shade and starting with a small amount of foundation to blend well 😘

I hope you find it helpful 👍

Will post my top favourite foundation’s soon 👍

Till then keep shining 😘

Review : Clarins True Radiance Foundation

January 17, 2015January 17, 2015 ~ Zahra S ~ 3 Comments

Hey Glamies ,

Like many others, I’m a huge fan of Clarins &
I was really excited to try it out.
The Clarins true radiance foundation..
2015/01/img_7726.jpg

Read more to find out what I have to say about it.

Clarins website :
True Radiance Foundation SPF 15
The light-infusing foundation: brightens and corrects the complexion
A lightweight, moisturising formula that glides onto skin perfectly, boosting natural radiance and luminosity.
• Reveals the skin’s natural luminosity with the anti-pollution action of Moringa seed plant extract
• Boosts natural radiance with light-reflecting pigments
• 24-hour hydration*: it infuses the epidermis with moisture to leave it glowing with vitality

My Thoughts

Packaging : Elegant & sleek clear glass bottLe ( 30 ML ) with a pump easy to get the product out ❤️

This is described as a luminous , lightweight fluid foundation with that smooths the skin with soft-focus pigments for a long-lasting finish

You guys, this stuff is FANTASTIC. It goes on effortlessly, and the formula is lightweight enough that I can’t feel it on my skin ,but
Immediately I notice its a bit liquid-y & it has a light floral scent to it. Which is okay for me !
I use a dense synthetic brush to buff this onto my skin, or a wet beauty blender (sometimes),

The coverage is medium to light,I’d still have to use a concealer if I wanted to disguise any spot,

This wears really well on my normal-to-dry skin. & Gives the most lovely luminous finish.
2015/01/img_8023.jpg 2015/01/img_8024.jpg
2015/01/img_8025.jpg

It comes in 10 shades ,
& If you are testing out shades, I recommend giving them a little extra time to set in-store before making a choice!

As for staying power This foundation lasts 5-6 hours on the skin.
2015/01/img_8026.jpg

So yes overall my feelings for this foundation is very positive,
It is joining my holy grail foundation lineup☺️I have very dry skin so for me, this is very hydratting
I recommend it for girls who do not like foundation, who are not looking for full coverage or any girl who doesn’t like pores & is looking for something fool-proof, doesn’t take too long to blend & looks like skin but of-course, better! &
It is quite reasonable for a luxury brand foundation❤️

What do you think about this foundation??
Do let me know

Much love
Zeee💋

Mini Review : Bourjois Eyebrow Pencil – Eyebrow Mascara

January 13, 2015January 13, 2015 ~ Zahra S ~ 4 Comments

Hi loves, ❤️

Recently I’m digging into Bourjois products their lipsticks , eyeshadows , eyeliner & mascara … Im So obsessed with it 😍
&
Bourjois (middle east) were sweet enough to send me Bourjois sourcil precision eyebrow pencil & Eyebrow Mascara to try and review about it 😍
2015/01/img_7674.jpg

Read more to find out what I have to say about it.

Bourjois sourcil precision eyebrow pencil :

Let me start by saying : I have very sparse brows and nothing bothers me more than at the end of the day, seeing that half of my brows are gone – yikes! 🙈

This eyebrow pencils Define my brows and add color. Applies product smoothly , its a bit on a dry side but works well . The medium shade suits light to medium hair; the dark shade is best for medium to dark hair.
And the brush lid is handy too 😋 , though not as good as a spoolie.
It glides on great and creates full, natural brows and most importantly – it STAYS on.
2015/01/img_7893.jpg

Overall : I tend to like more natural brows and I feel like this pencil does a pretty good job.Long lasting and wide range of color selection 👍
*Very good for every day use. ☺️

Bourjois Drole De Sourcils – Eyebrow Mascara:

the colors are very natural looking and makes my brows look thicker and more
Create full, natural-looking eyebrows.
Build further definition and intensity of eyebrows when layered on top of brow pencil application.Keeps my brows in place all day long- bc it is waterproof … Wallah 😍

It’s not “dark” dark brown, it’s almost a shimmery brown but in a nice way.if that makes any sense ,😋
2015/01/img_7895.jpg

Overall : My eyebrows look a bit more voluminous & thick with this mascara, with a lovely hint of golden brown.

Eyebrow people (Like Me) should try this 😃 LOL

What do you think about Bourjois brow products? Have you tried it?
Much Love
ZEEE :*
