How To Find Your Perfect “Foundation” ?

~ 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 ”
2015/01/img_8040.jpg

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 😘

Mini Review : Bourjois Eyebrow Pencil – Eyebrow Mascara

~ 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 :
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

Beauty Hacks : Tea Tree Oil

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

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 !! ❤️

• Drenches lips in glossy wet color
• Ultra-light creamy lipstain with Vitamin E and Aloe
• 88% of women felt lips were instantly moisturized without stickiness

Amazingggggg right ??

Packaging is damn attractive,gives a classic touch to it!!

The applicator for this product is outstanding,The pointed tip helps to apply the moisture stain to the cupid’s bow and towards the outer edges.

IMG_6171.PNG

••My Thoughts••
Revlon lip products has always been my most favourite ones !! Their formula / wide range of colors.. Everything is just satisfying 🙂

So,I got two of them 😍 first one is “040 Shanghai Sizzle” which is gorgeous bright red,second is “045 NewYork Scene” a perfect classy deep red 🙂
Both shades are pretty pigmented and build-able,
formula is so super creamy and doesnt feel sticky at all. It looks like a sheer gloss but It’s VERY comfortable on my lips,Love how it wears and it is definitely moisturizing,

The Revlon colorstay moisture stain lasts for two hours on my lips.

Don’t forget to drag your finger through your lips to remove any buildup or it may get on your teeth!

Highly recommended!

Hope you like this post!!

Much Love

Fragrance of the week : L’INSTANT DE GUERLAIN

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hi my Gorgeous Glamies❤️

Hope you all be-YOU-tifuls are shining😘

This is my first post on Perfume!! yay !!

✨L’INSTANT DE GUERLAIN
EAU DE TOILETTE
Moments of emotion✨
IMG_6118-1.PNG

Crystalline Floral.
Intimate, luminous, sensual.

Luminous freshness and sparkling tenderness. A burst of apple lemonade announces the tender and radiant notes of a lacy ream of white flowers, while a soft veil of amber melts into the skin.

Its bottle is cut from a luxurious and transparent block of glass. Crowned with a flat stopper, sculpted like a cabochon and engraved with the Guerlain logo, its shapes play with the contrast between the rectangle and curves.
IMG_6123-0.PNG

~My Thoughts~
So,basically i am a true perfume addict😍 its My Passion/My Obsession/My Love … Everything…

I’ve always had a thing for warm, sexy scents. ❤️ and To describe L’INSTANT DE GUERLAIN in three words, I would say it’s warm, seductive and mysterious. It’s the kind of scent that smells fuzzy,sexy and soothing with a whiff of sweetness!

it’s very wearable for everyday use though I’d like it better during the winter months for it sensual warmth and coziness💋

💎 It might be overwhelming for someone who doesn’t appreciate strong scents.💎

L’INSTANT DE GUERLAIN 50 ml bottle which will last me quite a while I suppose. The scent wears for about 7-8 hours on me!! (Super Long Lasting)Overall, I loveeeeeeeee this!

Ratings : 4 / 5

So ,
What do you think about this?

Much Love,
ZEEE ❤ :*

Review!! Budget friendly Concealer : Elf Studio Complete Cover Concealer !

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hi be-you-tiful girls 😘❤️

So, here’s a review on ELF STUDIO COMPLETE COVER CONCEALER ✨ (MEDIUM)

I first heard about this product through HudaBeauty ❤️

So, I immediately ordered mine from http://www.alshop.com for 39/- AED
❤️

IMG_6046-3.PNG

Lets start with pakaging :Its sleek compact with a small mirror inside😍very nice and perfect for throwing in your bag!!
The brush it comes with is tiny & decent
{great to cover blemishes)
IMG_6045-1.PNG

Available in 3 shades.
(Light/Medium/Dark)

~My Thoughts~

💎All four shades are close enough for me !! 👍👍
💎It has a very moisturizing and creamy consistency,which is good for “dry skin”…
💎it can be used as a cream foundation too , because of its sheerness with a decent coverage!!
💎I use this concealer primarily under my eyes to highlight/conceal ,as the formulation is smooth and light weight and it doesn’t get cakey & I do have fine lines under my eyes. This concealer has not settled in those lines. 😍👍
💎But You do have to use quite a bit of it if you have dark circles !! 🙊 (I just give an extra pat.)
💎This concealer manages to stay for good seven to eight hours on me which is indeed impressive✨
💎This palette also allows you to mix & match the colors so you can get the perfect shade u you want!! 😍

Here are the swatches 🙂

without flash:

With Flash 🙂
IMG_6044-1.PNG
Overall, love it!! this product works for me. Im thinking to stock up in all 3 different colors 😍 its damn inexpensive!! Travel friendly!!! & multi-use concealer – I simply love it!

Definitely recommend to normal-dry skin ladies !❤️✔️

What is your current favorite concealer?! 😘

Much Love ,

ReVieW : Sigma 3D HD kabuki brush !!

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hey My Be-You-tiful Dolls ❤️

Hope you all are shinning ❤️💎

Okay!! !!! !!!!! finally got myself The much raved brush: 3DHD sigma kabuki brush (in pink)

They say:
“The 3DHD™ Kabuki is a multifunctional brush engineered to perfection. It was uniquely designed for all areas of the face to apply liquid, cream and powder products uniformly on every curve, crease and angle. Patent pending.”

IMG_5776-6.PNG

Hmm hmm!!

My Thoughts!!
I am a huge fan of Sigma synthetic brush line and nothing comes close to F80 which is my absolute favorite. After trying these, I’ve gotta say, I am very pleased☺️✨
It’s excellent for applying liquid foundation, BB cream and powder foundation. I love the way it blends makeup and creates a flawless base. It’s not as good as F80 but it’s incredibly close.👍❤️I like that it’s pointed at the tip as it helps create that precise contour in a matter of seconds. But if you don’t like a sharp look, you can easily blend & diffuse the effect. I also tried use it to highlight parts on my face like cheekbones and nose.you’re never at the risk of overdoing which is great. 👍👍👍

Best part is It can easily go even around and in between brows, around eyes, nose and mouth areas.😍

I’ll give it 8/10🙈

purchased it from http://www.alshop.com for 89 AED 🙂

What do you think about the brushes? Have you tried it yet ??

Hope you like this post!!

Much Love
zeee 😘
