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.

Its light compact texture melts instantly into the skin giving a boost in a silky smooth effect with no powdery finish.

Mini Review / Swatches : Rimmel London SS15 Lipsticks 

~ Zahra S ~ 2 Comments

This season I’ll be adding two of my favorite drugstore brand lipsticks to my go-to list

Rimmel london 
As the temperature rises, lips go brilliantly bright.

Rimmel introduces its new Kate Bright SS15 Collection for lips, an exotic palette of precious shades created by the style icon herself, Kate Moss.

My Thoughts:-

Two Flattering lipstick shades

IMG_3317

Nice change for spring and summer, moving away from the reds I’ve worn this past winter.

Both lipsticks are satin finish which means it is neither matte or too creamy
Kate Moss : #35

The color is cool toned pink with a tiny hue of lavender, kinda pastel pink
      

Kate Moss : #37

I must say this color totally caught my eye
Its orangy-coral 😁 

really flattering shade for every skintone ❤️

Overall,

I love the Rimmel london Lasting finish lipsticks by Kate Moss, I have almost all the colors from her collection..Both #35 & #37 goes well with loads of different make-up looks Day or night

it smells so good & the creamy formula feels comfortable on lips,
Perfect bright and fresh colors great for summer.

and if you want to be a bit more creative add a pop of orangy-coral to the centre of a pink lips 💋

Available at: Boots, Lifestyle, Max and Carrefour

Price: 49 AED

Which colour will you be poppin’ this summer!!

Fragrance of the week : Diptyque Florabellio 

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hello my lovelies:*

Here comes another perfume review 🙂 I’m so  loving Summer in Dubai, because it’s giving me the reason to try some fresh floral-y fragrances which is already my Obsession now..

Diptyque Florabellio 

Description:

Launched in April 2015, The composition of Florabellio opens with refreshing salty breezes of sea air mixed with sea fennel. After the aromatic opening, which cools down and provides a characteristic blend of salt of the sea and the aromatic scent of fennel, the focus lies on the floral heart, intertwining apple blossom petals and osmanthus blossom, which thanks to its characteristically sweet scent reminds us of apricots. An unusual twist in the base notes is added by roasted coffee beans combined with roasted sesame seeds, leaving a seductive trail after the sweet flowers.

Packaging :
Classic curvy transparent bottle, available in 50 ml and 100 ml Eau de Toilette

Notes:
Top Notes : Sea Notes, Sea Salt, Fennel.
Heart Notes : Apple Blossom, Osmanthus.
Base Notes : Roasted Coffee beans, Sesame.
My Thoughts:

Wow after knowing the notes,I was amazed..  it is very marine and aquatic and at the same time warm too😍 On my skin, it smells a bit sweet at first,it does have a little feel of roasted coffee in the beginning but that fades away quickly and Apple blossom and strong fennel  takes its place 😍 
OMG guys this perfume is perfect for summery days. An incredibly simple composition with high quality!!! Also, I think this could also be a great mix/ layering scents.

The sillage is relatively soft and the longevity is at least 5-6 hours. I love love love Diptyque Florabellio , quite flattering and affordable as a salty floral fragrance. It would complement a sunny summer day very well.

There are wide range of Diptyque fragrances in the market to choose from.  So, Do not forget to stop by the store and have a sniff of Diptyque Florabellio 🙂  

Ratings : 5/5

Price :
50 ML- 365 AED
100 ML – 475 AED

AVAILABLE AT THE DUBAI MALL (FRIST FLOOR)

Best of Face mask – The Face Shop

~ Zahra S ~ 2 Comments

Today its all about face mask sheet and lip mask, so please bear with me 😛

IMG_2024

Face mask sheet are everywhere nowadays,
Its easy to apply and an  instant pamper session for your face ,
But they are really delicate so slapping them on in a rush is not a good idea. 

Here are my top 3 mask sheets from The Face shop

Baby face hydrogel Collagen mask
IMG_2693 IMG_2694

Description:

A gel mask Containing matine collagen and coenzyme Q10 to keep the skin firm and resilient. The Hydrogel mask imparts a sense of coolness and moisturization Steadily to soothe the skin and ease puffiness
Directions:
 •Wash face and apply toner,
•Pull out the masks, and remove the film on both sides.
•Carefully place it on the face.
•Remove the mask after 20-30 minutes of coolness and relaxed application.
My thoughts
IMG_2121
It has a silicon texture and very slimy,

And they’re actually really refreshing. If you popped one into the fridge for a couple hours it would be GLORIOUS and help shrink your pores !!
My face was quite moist  afterwards  
And relaxed by its coolness
But all the weirdness is totally worth the skin you’ll have after..

Ratings 5/5


Real nature Green tea mask
IMG_2696 IMG_2695

Description:
A hydrating & energizing mask sheer containing Green Tea extract to fill dry skin with refreshing and hydrating moisture 


My thoughts:

IMG_2701
The ghost mask ..hahah
Green tea Helps detox troublesome skin, they do come with their own set of benefits. it definitely Tighten pores and reduce the appearance of fine lines ,
They also won’t dry out the skin like a clay mask formula.
it was very cooling, gave me instant refreshment and smoothness 🙂
The masks are one-size-fits-all,
it’s best to lie down while they work their magic
After you remove the sheet, you can even leave the serum on as your moisturizer for the day.

And the best part is that they actually work and minimize your pores and leave your skin hydrated and with a lovely glow.

Ratings 4/5

• Once applied, keep in place for 15-20 mins, then discard and rub in the remaining collagen essence into your skin. Do not wash your face or apply any other products (moisturizer, serum, etc.) — just allow the  mask sheet to penetrate your pores and enjoy the instant results: brighter, tighter, more radiant skin.


Lip mask
