For The Shopaholic In You..

Hi fashionistas! Hope you had a great weekend! I sure did.. I started my weekend with a little shopping :)
A very happy Miss S came home with...

Really hot and fresh wedges by Emilio Pucci 
Another cute pair of wedges from Zara

Pure seduction body splash from Victoria's Secret


Top coat from Sally Hansen

Hot red nail polish from Sally Hansen 

A wonderful parfume, bodylotion, shower gel - set from Ed Hardy

I also bought a fabulous Armani skirt and a pair of casual pants from Zara but I forgot to take pics :( Another time I promise! I decided to publish outfit pictures every now and then so stay tuned :) 

Now that Ramadan is just around the corner (same day as my birthday also) the next month i'm gonna focus on how to maintain a natural beautiful look. Because I won't be wearing any make up (at least during day time) it is suuuuper important for me to keep my skins healthy glow! To all you fasting ladies out there I wish you a ramadan kareem and take care :)

I'm one second away from eating my hands!!



Don't panic from my header it's just my new handcream =) 


My birthday isn't until Sunday but my loving family is already showering me with gifts <3 I got this from my cousin in Kuwait and it is absolutely lovely! It smells delicious of coconut and cream! Imagine that the first time I used it and stepped into my sisters room she immediately asked me what was smelling so good!! The brand is called Votre Vu and if any of you guys know where I can buy this in the UAE pleeeeeeeease let me know!

                                                                                           //Miss S.  

Rapunzel Hair!

A couple of weeks ago I was shopping in Mirdif City Center and a saw some girls promotion new hair products, and as the product freak that I am I walked up to see what they had to offer! To my pleasant surprise they were offering products for damaged hair, just what I was looking for as I am trying to grow my hair long again after one terrible visit to a hairdresser who cut off half my hair when I specifically told her MAXIMUM 5 cm! Anyhow they offered me to take a hair test to decide exactly what kind of hair products would suit me. The problem with my hair is that it's frizzy, a bit damaged from the flat iron and a little more shine never hurt anybody. So she gave me some samples to go home and try, great! And all I can say it WOW Dove you have outdone yourself!! The shampoo and conditioner had a great impact on my hair leaving it so much easier to flat iron but what really impressed me was the Dove Damage Therapy Intensive Repair Treatment Mask, you simply massage it into your hair and scalp in the shower and leave it on for 5 minutes and then wash it off! If you have curly hair like me you will find this super good on your curls leaving your curls beautifully defined without any hair products. Not even to mention the low price!! Girls you haaave to get your hands on this hair candy!

Glow Some Mo'

Hi babes!

My God I love home remedies! I can't tell you how many times in my life I went to the fridge and just applied things on my face just to see if anything happened lol (well enough times to make a blog out of it)
So in the heat of Dubai's summer my skin always screaaaam for moisture it seems as if no matter how much moisturizer I put my skin is always dry, so I went to the fridge for some help!

You will need: 1/2 banana
                       1 teaspoon honey
                       a liiittle milk (remember that the texture must come out as a paste to stay on your face so let your eye be your measurement)
       
So just smush the banan with a fork and add honey and milk and blend it to a paste and leave on your face for 20-30 minutes and then wash off with cold water.

Now say hello to awesome skin. Good luck ladies :)

                                                               
                                                                                                 //Miss S.

A Lush Rush

Hi babes!

I can't tell you for how long i've been a fan of Lush products, when it wasn't available here I used to buy it from London when I was visiting my sister and come home with a years supply of my favorite products! And who can blame me?? They are truly awesome!! Now that they are available here in Dubai (they recently opened in Dubai mall yay ) I thought I would share my favorite products with you =)


Lush's Ocean Salt, "The antibacterial effects of lime and the trace of alcohol in the product is ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes. The minerals in sea salt soften as the salt scrubs away dirt and blockages" 

an amaaazing scrub to be used maximum 3 times a week (i use it 2 times) leaves your face feeling so clean and soft, it's great for normal to oily skin, but for you ladies who only have normal and not so oily like me I recommend you use this only in the summer time because I felt it dried out my skin in the winter, but nothing a good moisturizer can't fix =)


Lush's Angels On Bare Skin,"Angelic and medieval cleansing wash with rose and lavender. Angels on Bare Skin is the Lush version of an expensive medieval skincare recipe. Rare, precious essential oils were first brought to Europe by the crusaders who encountered Arabian medicine. They were immediately banned by the church because their ability to alter states of mind was considered the devil's work! Rose oil and lavender oil were discovered to do wonderful things for the skin, too. Almost a thousand years later you'd be hard pressed to find a better all round cleanser and exfoliator than Angels."

This gentle scrub is one of my absolute favorites, I used it every night after removing my makeup and besides from that it left my face super super soft I noticed that my make up didn't look oily when I was out in the heat because it contains Rose oil, so if you have problems with a shiny face in heat this is the product for you!


Lush's Dark Angels, "Deep dark cleansing facial scrub for young, dark and oily skin. A lovely, black, squidgy scrub made with charcoal to absorb oils and exfoliate your skin. Nutritious avocado oil softens your skin, glycerine keeps the moisture in and black sugar softly scrubs; rhassoul mud is anti-microbial and cleanses deeply, while sandalwood and rosewood essential oils are soothing, giving you a feeling of smooth, clean freshness that is difficult to beat. It's our new favourite, even if we aren't very young. Just be a bit careful that you wash it off properly and clean the wash basin after you."

Another reaaalllyy good scrub that worked really good on my blackheads! BUT! Make sure you use this in the shower or else its really messy to clean up the sink after you because it becomes all black!



Lush's Bubblegum Lip Scrub, "Our fabulous lip scrubs are here to keep your kissers sweet. This one will make your lips smell like our best-selling Snow Fairy shower gel. Bubblegum is made with exfoliating castor sugar and our delicious vegan flavour to gently scrub away rough skin, keeping your lips smooth and kissably soft. Simply rub it over your lips when they're feeling the need for some sugar."

The lipscrub is good but a bit overprized if you ask me, and its hard to find a lipbalm oily and fat enough to give your lips the moisture it need after this scrub.



Lush's Ultrabland, "Ultrabland is now made with an almond oil base. Our cream cleanser takes off make-up and leaves your skin nourished. It's gentle, but the deeply-cleansing oils reach down and remove stubborn dirt and makeup. Rose, beeswax and honey soothe and moisturise the skin. Cleanse each night, then remove with a warm cloth and your skin will feel soft and smooth without any scrubbing at all. It's bland and ultra effective"

I LOVE this one!! the absolute best make up remover I have EVER used its super easy to use and removes the heaviest make up in a sec! 

Oops this got a little long.. well what can I say I love my products! Hope you enjoyed my reviews :)

Hair Experiment

Hi ladys hope your all good and feeling fabulous =)

Yesterday I decided to try an hair treatment I heard was good for curly hair, the treatment is basicly to not use shampoo and ONLY use conditioner when you are in the shower. At first I was like eww, really? but I decided to give it a try anyway. Well, let's just say another lesson learned, If it sounds nasty then it probably is. I stepped into the shower and as i was told, I took a small amount of conditioner and massaged it into my hair (like you normally do with shampoo) and then washed it off and then let my hair dry by itself without using a hair dryer. And the result was... nasty! My hair looked super greasy (eventhough it was soft) and my curls looked like dreadlocks, i even tried to save it and blowdry my hair but it just got worse and looked even more greasy so i just got in the shower and washed my hair normally with shampoo and conditioner. Maybe this method works for some, but I give it thumbs down. Sorry!

I kinda looked like this..

LOL =)

Mirrors don't lie baby

Have you ever been in a dressing room in a shop and said to yourself  "OMG this lighting and mirror makes me look awful!! or It's just the mirror you can't really see the hairs on my upper lip outside this dressing room!" Well girls, you are WRONG! People CAN see you lady mustache you just haven't invested in a proper mirror and you don't know hoe to wax/ thread/ tweeze in proper lightning. , say hello to your new best friend the mirror that magnifies. I have a mirror with two sides, one with normal size and one that magnifies. This is great because it allows you to see those small hair who really makes a difference and gives you a clean hair free look! If you have a balcony i recommend you sit in the balcony and tweeze your eyebrows or sit facing a window.  Or for the absolute best result get yourself a mirror with 2 sides like the one i presented earlier with built in light!






                                                                                           Good luck! //Miss S.

Nobody likes a bag of chips under their eyes, right?

Hi babes, hope you are all doing great!

Even though I don't see any comments, I am happy that our readers are increasing! Im so curious to know where you find our blog?! Anyhow, to todays subject:

I wanted to share with you guys how you can look like you sleep like sleeping beauty and get rid of those bags under your eyes and get that bright,fresh look!
First of all, ALL ladies need to invest in a eye serum. There are plenty of good ones out in the market! I know Yves Saint Laurent has a good one (forgot the name of it just ask in your make up store) but my favorite one is Garniers Brightening Eye Roll-On
I absolutely adore Garniers Light products!! I use their Light Day cream, Night cream, Facewash and Roll on! Very reasonable price for really good products!! All you need to do with this roll on is to apply it day and night and it does the job! Some tips you can use to speed up the process and make it more long lasting is:


- Drink loads of water (at least 1 litre a day)
- Put something cold on your eyes while you are a face mask like cucumber or cold tea bags
- Keep your eye cream in the fridge so it's cold when you apply it around your eyes
- Use gentle make up removers when you remove your eye make up 


These were my really easy tips to fight against tired eyes, hope you liked it!
