New Sensai cellular performance Day Cream-  SPF 25 

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

ABOUT SENSAI CELLULAR PERFORMANCE DAY CREAM

SENSAI’s CELLULAR PERFORMANCE DAY CREAM is designed to prevent oxidation in the skin’s cells with green tea extract which is claimed to protect the skin from stress with yeast extract and white mustard seed extract, both of which help preserve the levels of ‘stress-defence protein’ that naturally exists in the skin’s cells.

A feather-light comforting cream with UV-protection for defence against skin-ageing factors. The zesty fragrance elevates the spirit every day.

Apply each morning as step 2 of Double Moisturising.

Sensai beauty products are quite famous and yes expensive , their key ingredient is what make it luxuries and that is premium Koishimaru Silk extract

It also contains :

  • White Mustard Seed extract which are indeed very rich in phyto-nutrients, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants
  • Green Tea Extract, a powerful anti-oxidant

I was very excited to try out their day cream Which has spf 25 , good 2 in 1 product it does the trick,I really like the texture of it, It went on smoothly and gave a little dewey look to my face (not greasy ) and within a few minutes had completely sunk into my skin.
The cream is very light which makes my face feel & look healthy. It smelt amazing on application, but not so strong Its a  light peach (not white) cream that sinks into skin easily & Absorbs very well. I wear this under my foundation sometimes and it doesn’t seem to interfere with the look of it.

Performance wise I cannot say enough good things about this moisturiser. After using it for about 2 weeks I noticed a definite improvement in the tone and texture of my skin. The dry patches are no longer a problem for me!
Im not sure wether oily skin people might like this, it’s not going to work the same exact way for everyone as its working for my skin ,

So I recommend doing a patch test before you buy this products ❤️
Overall I rate this cream a 8/10

Available in a 50ml tube at AED 540 ( Paris Gallery )

Review : Armand Basi In Red Blooming bouquet

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Armand Basi In Red
Blooming Bouquet :

A more intense version, in the form of an eau de toilette intense, which accentuates the fragrance’s floral explosion
More lively, more passionate, more enthusiastic

In Red Blooming Bouquet – a new version of the popular fragrance In Red, appears in all colors and shades of fragrant flowers, gathered in a beautiful bouquet. Retaining the basic shades of an original composition In Red, perfumers have added in the “blooming” version In Red Blooming Bouquet riot of spring flowers blooming buds and flowering trees. The beauty and magic of the awakening of nature, the heady scents of spring and the magic of femininity came together in the most beautiful bouquet In Red Blooming Bouquet! Composition: tangerine, ginger, violet leaves, water colors, jasmine, lily of the valley, rose, gardenia, cedar, sandalwood and musk. The fragrance was created in 2015.

Just like there are many different ways to interpret a piece of music, with this new edition of the fragrance, the IN RED woman reveals new facets of her character.A very feminine woman, full of vitality like nature itself.Full of passion.Dynamic and enthusiastic.Natural and exuberant.

Notes :

Top Notes : mandarin, ginger and violet leaf
Heart Notes : jasmine, lily of the valley, rose and gardenia.
Base Notes : Warm cedar , sandalwood & exotic musk

My thoughts:-

Yes im in love with armand basi In red collection , I absolutely adore this intense version of In red – blooming bouquet,

This new edition carries the name Blooming bouquet – a name that evokes wonderful floral compositions. The graceful almond branch has unleashed all its activity to produce a bountiful harvest with passion; it emerges as a flaming wand, passionately alight, blooming intensely.

This time it takes you to the muskier / warm side of it, which makes it more seductively exotic fragrance…
& All the notes are very well balanced indeed.

It’s beautifully fresh floral ,with a hint of spice
perfect for both day & Night..

Highly recommended for a cheerful summer feeling ..

The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette Intense.
Silage : 4/5
Longevity : 5/5

Review : Laura Mercier Flawless Contouring Palette.

~ Zahra S ~ 1 Comment

Laura Mercier Launches New Flawless Contouring Palette
The Art Made Simple.

Lead the trend with a newly launched, exclusive Contouring Palette that brings Laura’s artistry techniques to life with ease.
Through her artisan lens and years of working as a professional makeup artist, Laura has carefully chosen these neutral shades in a darker range that help sculpt the face.

This palette of blendable creams delivers foolproof application every time. Shade intensity is much lighter than it appears, so it’s perfect for all skintones. Through her artisan lens, developed over years of working as a professional makeup artist, Laura Mercier has carefully chosen these neutral shades in a darker range to help sculpt the face. The key to everyday contouring is to be discrete. This Contouring Palette is designed to define and highlight your best features with five delicate, but buildable creams. The extraordinary formula is more blendable than typical contouring powders, allowing for a natural, flawless, and seamless application every time. For a complete flawless look, finish with the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.

This kit features five shades based on undertone and a step-by-step instruction card.

My thoughts

One of my favourite makeup products are Contouring and highlighting products!

It really helps to sculpt and enhance your features & make it selfie Ready 😉
This is the first cream contour product I’ve ever used and it was kinda fun.

I wasn’t sure if I would love it !! But trust me guys just first swatch of it made me change my mind .. It works AMAZINGLY great. You can actually see the contour without using too much of it.

It has that grey undertone that I need to contour, doesn’t skew muddy and red /orangey nor sparkly on my face.

Im not a big fan of cream highlighters because it really makes my makeup look blotchy 😐Which is not so attractive 😛

I try using this highlight #1 & #2 when i just need minimal makeup without using any setting powders.. And YASS 👍🏼 It stayed longer than I thought..

Most natural and long lasting and build able glowy effect !!!

How  To Use : I like to put it over liquid foundation using small stippling brush or angled brush and then I then set with a translucent powder, or contour powder for a more sculpted look, blends in beautifully and flawlessly,highly pigmented, It goes on sheer but you can build it up to whatever darkness you need AMAZINGLY

Overall, Laura Mercier Cream countour has the Superblendable formula, very buildable. These colors add instant light and glow and stay in place aaaall day looking super natural, without even using primer or setting spray.

Price: AED 232 

Available at all Areej stores across United Arab Emirates and Oman.

This gorgeous  Spring Reign offers a fresh, floral scent perfect for spring and summer 💖
Details
There’s a royal essence in the Spring airas
the magic of the rain falls ever so lightly on the Killer Queen’s garden.
For it’s all too well known that there are no May flowers without April showers…
And there is no Spring without rain…
And there is no Reign without a Killer Queen.

Spring Reign is the fourth fragrance to join Katy Perry’s royal fragrance family. It is the ultimate fragrance for the vivacious girl that isn’t afraid to reign supreme.

super gorgeousness !!!! As her previous killer queen collection this one also has a long diamond  like shape  bottle and a metallic gold lid, with pale pink liquid💜
IMG_1841
My thoughts: 

The perfume , is described as flora/oriental which i totally agree , the drydown is extremely light Which is  not a very strong perfume, 
But at the same time it is so fresh & delicious
I get a floral musk skin scent 💋  😜

the longevity and sillage are a bit weak – its stays on for 3-4 hours 

It can be used anytime whether its day or night , you will rock it with its freshness all day long
