~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

ELEMIS Japanese Camellia Body Oil Blend

NOURISHING COMBINATION OF BOTANICAL OILS FOR FACE AND BODY.
For many centuries Camellia Oil from Japan has been used for the care of nails, hair, scalp and combination skin. Easily absorbed and rich in plant collagen, Elemis Japanese Camellia Body Oil Blend is ideal for helping to prevent stretch marks whilst pregnant and improving skin elasticity and condition over the whole body.
This is the finest grade oil for Aromatherapy. Used in the Elemis Nurturing Mother-To-Be pregnancy massage, this light oil is easily absorbed and rich in plant collagen to keep the skin moisturised and supple, helping to prevent stretch marks.

We all are constantly on the hunt for the next best thing for our skin , Right? Here’s what I found for the body👏🏻
Elemis is a an absolutely lovely and honorable brand it includes a line of products such as Skincare , Bodycare , Haircare etc

This month I am Trying Elemis Japanese Camellia Body Oil purchased from http://www.basharacare.com

Japanese oil Extremely rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants
And it is used in a number of skincare products to make hair sleek and shiny and treat dry, flaky skin on face and body

• Restore elasticity & prevents stretch Marks
• Improve skin texture.
• Nourishing
• moisturize nails & cuticles
• Conditions your hair

I’ve used it everywhere – my face, body, hair, even as a cuticle softener. Is there anything this oil can’t do? Even more incredible – this body oil absorbs very well and doesn’t leave a greasy residue Delightful!

My skin feels more hydrated, smooth and supple when I use it
I use the oil in the Morning (after Shower) and Night (before going to bed). I love the fact that all the ingredients are pure and time-tested and the packaging is so so so beautiful!

Overall, I am totally in love with this oil because of how well it works in hair , nails and on the skin.You can use such a small amount of these products and they last for months.

*If you have sensitive skin, you may want to discuss using any of these products with your dermatologists before you add its use to your daily skin care routine.

Price – 249 AED

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!

Micaroon Makeup
Uhh, Sounds so delicious 😍

really well-pigmented and buildable

Review : Lush CupCake Fresh Face Mask

~ Zahra S ~ 1 Comment

Hey My Glamies 💋
Hope you all are shining ✨

I cant express how much I love Lush,its one of my favorite store 💚 I love there bath Bombs/ Hair products/ shower Gels /skincare .. List goes on and on …its handmade / preservative free / all natural ingredients..etc etc

Today Im reviewing Lush – Cupcake {Fresh Face Mask}
/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7488-0.jpg

• Chocolate heaven for oily and teenage skin. Helps absorb excess oil and calm breakouts. coco butter, Linseed and cocoa powder soften with balancing peppermint, spearmint and sandalwood oils •

~Due to the fresh ingredients, you have to keep these face masks refrigerated.
~This mask has a quick expiration
~This mask is vegan
~If you bring back 5 of these little black empty pots, you’ll get a free face mask!
/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7491-0.jpg

~My Thoughts~

Umm, This fresh face mask was designed for oily, troublesome skin. I know i have super”Dry” skin , and it’s certainly troublesome.

So following the instructions on the container, I made sure my face was clean and then used on my entire face, avoiding my eyes and mouth area,

Its smells “heaven of chocolate”
Ahhhhhhhhhh,exactly like wearing a tingly face mask of chocolate mint cupcake batter!

I usually let it dry by 10-15 mins,
And then rinsed it off with warm water …
..

I instantly felt my skin became much softer / clean , and more hydrated even though its not meant for dry skin.. Wow
/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7486-0.jpg

After removing the mask you could still smell the chocolate mint 😍 yumm

Overall,I love this fresh mask,
•it doesn’t leave my skin dry
•its brightening – glowing but not as good as “Cosmetic Catastrophe”(My all time fav mask from lush)
•absorbs all excess oils.
•deep cleanses and takes dirt out of the pores.
I would definitely repurchase this but I really want to try every mask they have first

Do ask for the sample and try it out first before buying the full size product

Have you tried Cupcake?
What is your favorite LUSH product?

Much Love
Zeee ❤

Review : Murad Skincare

~ Zahra S ~ 1 Comment

Hey Be.YOU.tifuls 😘

Im so excited to share my thoughts on one of my favorite skincare brands :

Oh yeah — its “Murad skincare”

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7137.jpg

I love love love their products ! It works wonder for me.
I have already tried the moisturizer but I forgot the name of it LOL .. And it was amazingly effective ❤️ but as some of you may know-I’m a beauty addict & I like to try new products and review about it, so never got a chance to repurchase it again!!

So, Lets get started:

What it says :
{ Environmental exposure creates a broad range of problem for your skin. Thats why this antioxidant-rich treatment is formulated to restore clarity, texture, elasticity and firmness,while fading pigmentation and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Murad’s patented infusion technology delivers pure vitamin-C directly into the skin for the maximum results. See a significant improvement in just one treatment }

•Essential-C Cleanser
•Advanced Active Radiance Serum
•Essential-C Day Moisture (spf-30 PA+++)

3 step Skincare Regimen:
1-Cleanse | Tone
2-Treat | Repair
3-Hydrate | Protect

Step – 1 : Cleanse
Product detail : Antioxidant vitamins A, C and E neutralize free radicals and other environmental aggressors while Phospholipids bind moisture to the skin. Essential C cleanser establishes a well-hydrated foundation for applications of the treatment product.

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7135.png
/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7150.jpg

My thoughts:
A very gentle cleanser
Silky texture , I have dry to sensitive skin and it really does a good job,👍doesn’t dry out my already dry skin,
I even love the citrus smell & There’s tiny little orange ball inside the cleanser.
My skin has brightened and looks radiant and healthy in just a little over a week of using it! Its just amazing 👍

Step – 2 : Treat / Repair
Product Detail : Faster acting formula with double the brighteners boost radiance and reverses visible signs of environmental damage. Preserve clarity and defend against future damage for lasting youthful radiance.

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7136.png       /home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7149.jpg

My thoughts:
I am so so so impressed with this serum , I apply it right after i washed my face with the Essential-C Cleanser, its so gentle on my sensitive skin,I do have few blemishes around my cheeks and it did wonders on them , it started fading away/ improved my skintone.. Im so in love with this serum (little bit goes a long way)

Step – 3 : Hydrate / Protect
Product Detail: Increased Vitamin-C power and Spf in essential-C Day moisture Spf-30 provide powerful protection against environmental damage. Next generation vitamin-C and the patented skin repair system improve radiance, firmness and elasticity.
/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7140.png/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7151.jpgMy thoughts:

I love the way it keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day. I just use pea size amount and spread it all over my face/neck..and again love the light scent of citrus. It also has SPF -30 which is great because I’m not a “separate sunscreen” person,its perfect for normal /oily/dry skin as it feels very light on skin ❤️

✨Overall, It reduced my blemishes and evened my skin stone – in less than 1 week of use, day and night. It made my skin much soften and felt fantastic
I also feel that This product has reduced my pore size …but more than anything I love how it creates even beautiful/healthy looking skin

Beauty Hacks : Tea Tree Oil

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hey Lovelie
Today’s post is on
~ How do I use tea tree “essential” oil ~
First of all lets put some light on whats tea tree oil ~
Tea tree oil Is also known as “Melaleuca oil” It has been used for centuries by cultures around the world to heal wounds.

IMG_6697-2.PNG

IMG_6698-1.PNG
Its: antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, balsamic, cicatrisant, expectorant, fungicide, insecticide, stimulant and sudorific substance.

Wow!! Sounds super HG right ?! 😀 Ands smells great too The magical healing and disinfectant properties that is in the oil can be used as a cure for almost all tropical infections and diseases!!
✨How i use it ✨

Acne :
one of the best home remedies for acne.Tree oil has powerful antibacterial properties ,Just apply a drop of this wonderful oil straight on your pimple using a Q-tip before going to bed (do it for couple of nights) and see your acne healing. (Don’t apply Tea Tree oil all over your skin, target only your acne breakouts.) You can also add about 10 drops of the antibacterial Tea Tree oil to your regular face wash.

Muscles pain :
Tea tree essential oil can provide relief from muscular pain, aches, and sprains because its strong chemical properties can work as an anti-inflammatory (add few drops into your bathtub and just relax for good 10-15 minutes)

Flu :
Diffuse through the air, add a drop to the pillow, or gently massage into the feet to absorb the properties into the blood stream quickly.

Colds:
Treat the common cold by inhaling steam infused with the oil, or massage into the feet and over the chest or other areas of concern.

Brush Cleansing:
effectively and safely disinfects and cleans your brushes quickly & kill germs .Add two drop of tea tree oil per 1/4 cup of warm or hot water in your container of choice and soak or spray your tools. Rinse with sterile water and let dry.

Dandruff cure :
Tea Tree oil benefits include dandruff cure.Tea Tree oil has been used as an effective treatment for dandruff for many years. Just add a few drops of Tea Oil mixed in with your usual shampoo; wash and rinse out as usual.

Dry/Itchy Eyes:
 Although no essential oil should ever be put IN the eye, you can still benefit from the oil by diffusing it or placing your head over a steaming pot of water with a drop of melaleuca in it.

Facial Mist :
great face freshner , just after your workout
fill your spray bottle with rose water/drinking water & add 3-4 drops of tea tree essential oil … and spray it when you need that freshness kick … ( you can use this as your DIY homeMade Deo too) 😉

❤

However, it is not meant to be ingested, and is poisonous. It is meant for topical application only!

I would like to officially announce that I am not a pro beauty expert 😀 but everything is based on my personal experience !

Hope you enjoy this post! Lots of Love Zeee !! ❤️

• Drenches lips in glossy wet color
• Ultra-light creamy lipstain with Vitamin E and Aloe
• 88% of women felt lips were instantly moisturized without stickiness

Available in 12 luscious shades.
IMG_6174.PNG

Amazingggggg right ??

Packaging is damn attractive,gives a classic touch to it!!

The applicator for this product is outstanding,The pointed tip helps to apply the moisture stain to the cupid’s bow and towards the outer edges.

Here are the swatches :

040 Shanghai Sizzle

IMG_6171.PNG

••My Thoughts••
Revlon lip products has always been my most favourite ones !! Their formula / wide range of colors.. Everything is just satisfying 🙂

So,I got two of them 😍 first one is “040 Shanghai Sizzle” which is gorgeous bright red,second is “045 NewYork Scene” a perfect classy deep red 🙂
Both shades are pretty pigmented and build-able,
formula is so super creamy and doesnt feel sticky at all. It looks like a sheer gloss but It’s VERY comfortable on my lips,Love how it wears and it is definitely moisturizing,

The Revlon colorstay moisture stain lasts for two hours on my lips.

Don’t forget to drag your finger through your lips to remove any buildup or it may get on your teeth!

Highly recommended!

Hope you like this post!!

Review!! Budget friendly Concealer : Elf Studio Complete Cover Concealer !

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hi be-you-tiful girls 😘❤️

So, here’s a review on ELF STUDIO COMPLETE COVER CONCEALER ✨ (MEDIUM)

I first heard about this product through HudaBeauty ❤️

So, I immediately ordered mine from http://www.alshop.com for 39/- AED
❤️

IMG_6046-3.PNG

Lets start with pakaging :Its sleek compact with a small mirror inside😍very nice and perfect for throwing in your bag!!
The brush it comes with is tiny & decent
{great to cover blemishes)
IMG_6045-1.PNG

Available in 3 shades.
(Light/Medium/Dark)

~My Thoughts~

💎All four shades are close enough for me !! 👍👍
💎It has a very moisturizing and creamy consistency,which is good for “dry skin”…
💎it can be used as a cream foundation too , because of its sheerness with a decent coverage!!
💎I use this concealer primarily under my eyes to highlight/conceal ,as the formulation is smooth and light weight and it doesn’t get cakey & I do have fine lines under my eyes. This concealer has not settled in those lines. 😍👍
💎But You do have to use quite a bit of it if you have dark circles !! 🙊 (I just give an extra pat.)
💎This concealer manages to stay for good seven to eight hours on me which is indeed impressive✨
💎This palette also allows you to mix & match the colors so you can get the perfect shade u you want!! 😍

Here are the swatches 🙂

without flash:
IMG_6043-1.PNG

With Flash 🙂
IMG_6044-1.PNG
Overall, love it!! this product works for me. Im thinking to stock up in all 3 different colors 😍 its damn inexpensive!! Travel friendly!!! & multi-use concealer – I simply love it!

Definitely recommend to normal-dry skin ladies !❤️✔️

What is your current favorite concealer?! 😘

Much Love ,

ReVieW : Sigma 3D HD kabuki brush !!

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hey My Be-You-tiful Dolls ❤️

Hope you all are shinning ❤️💎

Okay!! !!! !!!!! finally got myself The much raved brush: 3DHD sigma kabuki brush (in pink)

They say:
“The 3DHD™ Kabuki is a multifunctional brush engineered to perfection. It was uniquely designed for all areas of the face to apply liquid, cream and powder products uniformly on every curve, crease and angle. Patent pending.”

IMG_5776-6.PNG

Hmm hmm!!

My Thoughts!!
I am a huge fan of Sigma synthetic brush line and nothing comes close to F80 which is my absolute favorite. After trying these, I’ve gotta say, I am very pleased☺️✨
It’s excellent for applying liquid foundation, BB cream and powder foundation. I love the way it blends makeup and creates a flawless base. It’s not as good as F80 but it’s incredibly close.👍❤️I like that it’s pointed at the tip as it helps create that precise contour in a matter of seconds. But if you don’t like a sharp look, you can easily blend & diffuse the effect. I also tried use it to highlight parts on my face like cheekbones and nose.you’re never at the risk of overdoing which is great. 👍👍👍

Best part is It can easily go even around and in between brows, around eyes, nose and mouth areas.😍

I’ll give it 8/10🙈

purchased it from http://www.alshop.com for 89 AED 🙂

What do you think about the brushes? Have you tried it yet ??

Hope you like this post!!

Much Love
zeee 😘
