MY THOUGHTS :

This is my new all time favorite summer fragrance , literally I’ve been using it daily & spritzing it on my pillow before bed and it leaves my hair smelling nice

The Palm leaf & frangipani is playing a genius role in this Bright, fresh, blissful without being strong ,
The presence of frangipani may make this fragrance seem summery , I love how its well blended with white flowers, balanced with just the right amount of warmth & sweetness!
Very casual and relaxed. A perfume to wear on vacation, at the beach

its a perfect daytime scene, but it has a sexiness to it that makes it perfect to wear at night too.

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

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

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 ??

Fragrance Review : Valentina Poudre by Valentino

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

VALENTINA POUDRE


Invisible and impalpable, it delicately envelops the body in a romantic, passionate mist, making it all that more sensuous, feminine and recognizable. Valentina Poudre, the new fragrance of Valentina, lays a mysterious veil of ethereal notes upon the materiality of the senses.

With Valentina Poudre, Valentino brings the makeup concept to fragrances, transforming the scent into an invisible materialization of the Maison’s world of beauty.
Valentina Poudre is delicate yet determined, ethereal and sensitive. Its sensuous sophistication also emerges through the design of the round bottle in a subtle shade of nude – more a sensation than a color – embellished with a distinctive three-dimensional sculptural flower. Like a second skin that every woman dreams of, it protects and enhances the natural skin, celebrating its ethereal and material qualitie

Top notes :- accord of terracotta powder
Heart notes :- iris and tuberose
Base notes :- vanilla and sandalwood

Valentina Poudre by Valentino is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women launched in 2016.

My thoughts:-

This fragrance is an absolute gem lovely, delicate scent, I can describe it as “Powdery-Floral” and also as Seductive weapon for me 😀

All the notes are blended very well especially the combination of “terra-cotta powder & vanilla” that makes this a cozy and cuddly scent, with a semi-hidden sexy edge. scent which warm up yourself in a cold days or “date night” 😉

If you don’t like powdery perfumes (like me) then you have to try this one, I however happen to love them , I am particularly fond of musky-floral, therefore this is a match made in heaven for me.
❤️I absolutely love it & trust me I always carry this in my bag because it’s Alluring and addictive scent!!

Longevity is awesome (6+ hours) and the sillage is moderate.
Overall,I am VERY pleased with this scent. Cozy , warm ,with a twist of sexy. It’s not overpowering. Perfection in a bottle and I cannot stop smelling myself!

This is a masterpiece,Thankyou Maison Valentino ❤️
The nose behind this fragrance is Aurelien Guichard

The retail price for the 80 ML fragrance is AED 485

When FACEMasks Special Package – Review 

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Just found wonderful masks that works amazing 😍

Its has been my holy grail product for quite some time now..
Skin just soaks up the product leaving my face silky smooth. My skin is refresheed after every use!

I found the cuts in the mask were helpful to make sure it was in contact with as much of my skin as possible.
After taking off the mask, you’re supposed to let the residue soak in to your skin. At first the residue feels a little heavy and waxy but it soon soaks in and my skin felt and looked much softer.
Its officially  “my time” home pamper session..

This is a great product for summer /winter Basically for every skin type!!
They all have different kinda smell to it but guys trust me the scent really had nothing to do with it’s amazing hydrating properties.
This face mask feels soothing and calming, especially if applied cool from the fridge.
These are perfect to pack and take with you when traveling.
