10850813_10204422411972739_2038550874_n

If you’ve never used ❤ olive oil ❤ as part of your beauty regimen, you’re in for a real treat. It is rich in squalane, a natural emollient that is great for your #nails, lips,hair, and skin. In addition, it is packed with  Vitamins A & E and polyphenols that make it popular in many prepackaged beauty products. You can use it at home as part of your routine to:

~Deep condition your hair: Weekly, give hair and scalp a massage with slightly heated olive oil applied liberally. Comb through hair and let set for at least an hour or two. Shampoo hair to remove oil and thoroughly rinse. This will leave you with unbeatable shine and healthier looking hair with fewer split ends.

~Substitute for daily hair conditioner: A small amount of olive oil applied after shampooing can be substituted for hair conditioner. Apply a small drop into your palm & then rub both hands together & then apply it to dry hair.

~Remove makeup: Using a cotton swab, dab a bit under your eyes, on your cheeks and forehead, then wipe with a damp cloth. Finish by using a gentle cleanser. Your skin will be soft and smooth. Olive oil is a great option for those with sensitive skin.

~Soft Lips :Just dab on your finger and smear to relieve dry and chapped lips

~Soften dry and cracked feet: A little extra virgin olive oil makes a fabulous

~Replace shaving cream:Do you have sensitive skin? Be gentle with your legs by using olive oil as a shaving cream. Olive oil is a safe and organic alternative for shaving foam and results in a close shave that is less expensive and leaves your legs feeling silky and smooth.

~Use as a massage oil: You can create a mixture of organic oils: extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, in equal parts along with a small amount of jojoba or almond oil and vitamin E as a preservative that keeps your skin smooth and soft.

~Get healthy skin:Olive oil is a great skin moisturizer, in part because it contains linoleic acid, a compound not made by the body, but which prevents water from evaporating. It also contains a polyphenols hydroxytyrosol, an antioxidant that reinforces cell walls and reduces signs of aging..Splash your face with water before applying.

~Clean makeup brushes:Mix olive oil with a tsp of dishwashing liquid. Rub a small amount on the brush and wipe the brush back and forth on the palm of your hand, then rinse.

~ Body exfoliant: Mix 1 cup sweet almond oil with 1 cup salt (Epsom salts, fine or coarse sea salt, brown sugar etc.). Add a few drops of essential oil. After a shower, rub some of it over your body for a stimulating exfoliation.

~Anti Wrinkle for undereye: Apply some olive oil on your under-eye skin and massage it gently. Leave overnight and wakeup with soft hydrated eyes

Review : M.A.C MatchMaster Shade Intelligence compact.

The new Mac MatchMaster Shade intelligence Compact foundation dropped in stores in May

Comes in 12 different shades,(mostly warm shades)

Its innovative cushion and sheer liquid formula lends true-to-life shade perfection and coverage, while letting your natural skin show through. A cutting-edge delivery system allows the formula to be released in a superfine layer, providing a natural finish and sheer to medium buildable coverage. Launching with a spectrum of 12 light to deep dark shades.

The fascinating thing about the Cushion foundations is they are simply compact that come with a cushion applicator and a porous sponge saturated in liquid foundation.It’s designed to help make the application more even, to speed up the makeup process, and to allow for easy touch up on the go.

Packaging : 

The pact is slightly bulky because it contains the cushion and the puff! the puff is designed to be non-absorbent & to be carried around without worrying about getting the liquid
product everywhere.


Application : 

its easy and quick makeup application,you don’t need any extra tools or skills, all you need is your fingers or the applicator and pat away to get the most beautiful finish and glow. *the patting motion helps to create a flawless finish & the good thing about puff on cushion is that it allows for a very even distribution of product.

Coverage : 

I would say that you could build it to medium coverage before it looks cakey. 
After it sets, the foundation has a natural almost semi matte finish.

 

Overall,
Mac matchmaster would be great for those who prefer a more natural finish if they have the right shade.

*{{5.0 is 2-3 shade darker on me, however I managed by using lighter M.A.C concealer }}}

I think normal to combination skin will appreciate this most! Oily skin will definitely have to set with powder and blot throughout the day, As it may transfer 🙈 & we don’t want that right ?

It’s
•flawless &semi matte finish.
•fuss free and very beginner friendly.
•travel friendly.
Also, I pray for a long wear formula that is good for hot/ humid weathers.

Have you tried any cushion foundation before? do you like them ??

Review : Clarins True Radiance Foundation

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
2015/01/img_8022.jpg


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.jpg2015/01/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💋

*PR Sample{s} sent for review !! However my opinions will remain 100% honest 🙂
I hope you find my reviews helpful, detailed and honest !!
Thankyou!!

Mini Review : Bourjois Eyebrow Pencil – Eyebrow Mascara

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 :
2015/01/img_7894.jpg

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:
2015/01/img_7897.jpg 2015/01/img_7896.jpg

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

Review : Lush CupCake Fresh Face Mask

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

Beauty Hacks : Tea Tree Oil

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 !! ❤️
