Brief Update .. Where I have been

Hi there,

It's been a long time since I posted anything here, I do miss this blog a lot!

So where have I been?

.

.

Well, for the past couple of months I've been preparing for the big move from Saudi to the States.

I'm doing my graduate work here and I'll be staying here for almost 2 years.

I'm looking forward to this journey!

And I can't wait to share my experience with you all..

I will need some time to settle in since I've only been here for almost 13 days only!

See you all very soon :)

Daily Brushes * فرش المكياج اليومية

Good morning /evening all!

I thought I'd share the brushes I use on daily basis.

Frankly I used to use a lot more brushes everyday, but ever since I started this new job where I have little time to get ready at the morning, I decided to minimize the number of brushes and the amount of makeup. ugh right?

Let's Start!

Face Brushes

Starting from left:

Powder Brush by Sigma # F30

 I use for powder and sometimes for blush if I just want an ultra natural faded look!

 # F40 Blush Brush

Which  use for contour and blush at the same time, works wonders!

Concealer Brush # F70

I love to use this one to apply concealer under the brows! and to cover blemishes

Eye Brushes

Eyeshadow Brush by MAC # 242

I use this one to apply color on the eyelid.

Blending Brush # E40

This one is amazing for an overall blending for a faded  look. I'm totally in love with this one

Blending Brush # E25

Perfect for preciser blending and cut crease

Eyebrow brushes

I use 2 different brushes for my eyebrows which is not the most convineint thing in the world!

But I use one for the begging of the brow and the other one for the end of the brow and for a more precise look.

Makeupforever # sB

I use for the start of brow, gives a great faded look to the begging of the brow

MAC # 266

Amazing for a precise look towards the end of the brow.

MET Gala Makeup Looks

Good day everyone!

Here's some of the makeup looks I liked and felt like sharing them with you from the MET Gala

Karlie Kloss

her makeup is absolutely flawless and natural!

I loved how her foundation is actually see-through!

One thing I did not like is the fact that she has hooded eye and her makeup artist chose to

put a light color all over the led which emphasized the problem in her eyes. 

Blake Lively

Blake looks angelic with this choice of color and hairdo !

It would be a perfect look if she has chosen a bit of a lilac color on the lips though..

Rosie Huntington

Oh I love the eyeliner!

Again, it's a flawless look, even though I'm a bot disappointed by the fact that her skin looks

problematic even with foundation on! Looks like a wrong choice of primer maybe!

L'occitane Hand Cream Sale

I have got my hands on this 3 set hand creams from L'occitane for the price of one!!

They usually sell it separately but I was lucky enough to find this set..

.

it's one of the hand creams that I have purchased before and absolutely recommend! 

it contains shea butter ingredients which make my hands extra soft and silky!

.

.

I doubt that you can find this now but it wont hurt to look if they still offer this at your local L'occitane shop :)

Illamasqua Haul (London Haul part 2)

Happy Friday all

Today I'll be sharing with you part 2 of my London Haul

It's devoted to my Illamasqua purchases so let's start!!

Brow Cake: Thunder

First thing I got is this brow powder (Thunder)

It's wax and powder all in one which makes it run smooth and gives great results.

This is how it looks like on the brow (pic from google)

Face Powder
&
Contour Highlight Duo

Then I got an amazing face powder!!

I like it more than MAC's studio fix powder.

-

And a contour highlight palette all in one!

And this is a swatch of the products (pic from google)

WOW the highlighter is really strong !

Hydra Veil

As you see I got this amazing primer for dehydrated skin..

It's a water-based primer to apply before makeup, it has a gel-like consistency

 works as an amazing primer and prevents you from having dry flaky foundation skin!!

It makes the skin surface so smooth and moisturized!!

It's perfect for thirsty skin as it equals drinking a glass of water for your skin!!

And these are all of my purchases from Illamasqua,  hope you enjoyed this post!!

Xoxo!

Bye!
