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 😘

Xoxo

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 :*

Love Yourself ❤️

January 8, 2015January 8, 2015 ~ Zahra S ~ 1 Comment

Hey my be-you-tiful shining dolls,

How Are you all doing ?

So, today I’m feeling to talk about how to Love Yourself ❤️ I know it’s totally a different topic .. Not a beauty/makeup related thingy.. But, Just to find and love your inner “U” ! I want to motivate u & Kickstart your inner beauty 😘

Let me share my biggest secret with you all.
I’m a very Shy girl with a low “self esteem”
I know I know , being a beautyblogger , I have to be a social butterfly , and I’m still in a process of gaining confidence..
Which is now improving day by day ☺️👍

My first step towards gaining “confidence” was to Love Myself..❤️ Self-acceptance .. & Self respecting ❤️

Once you start loving yourself, you can find your own way to happiness ❤️ you will come to know what you want to do ❤️

Loving yourself is a step by step process, and it comes by firstly admitting to ourselves that we are worthy.

It isn’t only important to Be positive about yourself, but you also really have to decide what kind of a woman you want to be. You can’t truly get to know and love another person until you truly know and love yourself?

Give constant attention to yourself, Work on giving yourself “self-love” daily, remind yourself that you are the first priority in your own life. After all, if you don’t have you, everything else becomes irrelevant, right?

Just Be true to yourself and don’t worry about what others are thinking. It takes courage to be who we truly are, to reveal ourselves to the world. So don’t be discouraged by what other people think ! 😇
Sometimes in our life We no longer love ourselves and begin to lose a sense of our own self-worth. Everyone have their own issues, whether it’s personal or professional we all have to face problems, Face it with a smile But never give-up .. Honour yourself and start treating yourself with care.🌹

Have some respect for yourself. Treat yourself as you want others to treat you. Really, it works.❤️
So darlings❤️, Commit to “learning to love yourself” beginning today. This is one relationship thats going to be with you forever.

Find your happiness ❤️

I Hope you like this post 😘

xoxo

December Favorites ❤️

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

Hi Loves, Can you all believe we are already in another year !! 2014 has been such…a wonderful year 🙂 I know I’m Tad-Bit late but wish you guys a very- ✨Happy 2015 to all my beautiful Glamies,❤️

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2015/01/img_7613-0.jpg

Last month was a busy month for me! I still managed to try some bunch of beauty products in my collection and play around with some of the items that have been there for a while.

1) Murad essential-C cleanser and serum

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2015/01/img_7606-0.jpg

So it seems that my ever so favorite cleanser got revamped. I cannot stress how Uhhhhhh-MAZING it is; doesn’t dry out my face in any season and cleanses wonderfully. And the serum works wonder cleared my blemishes and improved my skintone 👍

2) Nivea Creame

Okay!!
I’ve used this cream ever since I was born, it’s best at moisturizing head to toe during fall/winter✨👍 I rub it all over my legs/ feet / hands /and face tooo.. its works great for super dry skin This makes my skin feel super soft I recommend using it only at night tho, coz it has rich texture and feels heavy on the face❤️

3) Sephora WATERPROOF EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

Oh my gosh.. This product has rapidly reached an HG status for me. Its the best best bestttttttttt waterproof eyemakeup remover i have ever used .. removes all stubborn eye products with ease without needing to rub them off. Leaves no residue I love the small bottles, less than 2 oz, that can go in my carry on.. Its a must have.. Highly recommend 👍

4) Nisa rose Cuticle Oil

So, I have started taking care of my brutal nails, and this rose cuticle oil is helping me growing my nails back✨! It has such a beautiful rose scent ❤️this is a wonderful, effective, all natural oil (mineral oil,jojoba oil,vitamins A,C & E) “LOVE IT”

5) Ben Nye Banana Powder

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2015/01/img_7607-0.jpg

Excellent for setting concealer and foundation I use it with my beautyblender and use it as a highlighter. I put a goooood amount under my eyes – forehead- nose & chin, Makes foundation last longer. Makes my skin look brighter and Little bit goes a longgggg way 👍

6) Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet- 08 Grand Cru
/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2015/01/img_7612.jpg

This is my go-to lipstick for fall / winter I love Bourjois Rouge edition lipsticks .. They are so damn long lasting , Inexpensive, love the texture.. It has velvet matte finish which is so gorgeous 💋

7) Mac Heirloom Collection Gold Glitter

I’m drooling over this glitter, So in love with it, Its multi purpose guy.. Already tried so many looks with it .. Officially obsessed ✨✨✨

Review : Lush CupCake Fresh Face Mask

December 30, 2014May 9, 2015 ~ 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!

~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

December 21, 2014October 19, 2016 ~ 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

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

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 My 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
