Bronze it Right

So few weeks and summer will say goodbye to us, although the weather will be still hot, but for me summer is those months where we go to the beach, and as my summer vacation was spent in Australia, where it was winter there, I couldn't really tell I had a summer vacation, I didn't tan, didn't have any colour, am still that pale white Noha :)  I kinda miss that bronze glow I have whenever I am by the beach. So those last days I was wearing bronzer religiously, since all my friends and colleagues are tanned and I am the one who is that pale. So I went through all my bronzers, I wanted to use something that's really good to give me a natural glow and at the same time to be reasonably priced since I will be applying it all the time. My problem with bronzers was that I never find a good one that gives me a bronzage colour without having an orange undertone to it, but now I came across that very good Bourjois bronzer and bronzing face primer.

Bourjois is well known for its chocolate-like bronzer that I included in a previous giveaway, this new collection I really loved, the primer is a special primer to be applied underneath the bronzer it makes the makeup glides smoothly under, and it gives a radiant glow to the skin, after that I use the bronzing compact powder to contour my cheeks, nose and forehead. Someday I just put a little on the apple of my checks. The primer prevents the face from getting oily, and makes the makeup stays all day, while the bronzer is just with perfect colour for my skin tone, no orange tones hidden, not too brown, it just gives a very normal like tan colour. I really recommend you check that product out, my friend has dark skin and she uses the one who matches her colour, and I can tell you it looks pretty on her as well.

That's a product I will be re-purchasing over and over, I just wish the size of the bronzer was a bit smaller so it could fit into my smaller clutches, but to be honest its size make it easier to use the kabuki brush with.

Katakeet in Jeddah

Finally I got to find a decent kids boutique in Jeddah, as Katakeet boutique has finally opened its door in Stars Avenue mall in Jeddah. Katakeet is a multi-brand boutique for kids, they have a lot of premium brands such as Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Fendi Little Marc Jacobs, Baby Dior, and many more.


I have always loved Katakeet and its interiors which were designed by British kids stories illustrator Polly Dunbar, I always used to visit their Mall of the Emirates branch, I heard they have a third branch in Abu Dhabi too. Last time I went they had an activity for kids, where they were encouraged to do Eid cards for their parents, although Hassan is a little small to do me any cards hahaha, he still enjoyed colouring.

The Pond's BB Cream Launch

Last Monday I was invited by Pond's fabulous team to fly to Dubai for the most anticipated launch event of Pond's latest invention, their first BB cream. The event took place at one of my favourite places in Dubai, Madinet Jumeirah. We were invited to a breakfast party, where Dr. Lillian Khan, Pond's Arabia ambassador explained to us what's inside that pink bottle. Pond's BB cream is not like any other BB cream, it has all the beneficial characters of Pond's cream plus it gives a great everyday flawless coverage, and literally makes your makeup glides smoothly on your face, I have been applying it on my face for the whole last week, and I think I have already added to my can't leave without the home products. I will be doing a whole review and small tutorial to show you how to use it for a very easy application.

Dr. Lillian explained the difference between Pond's BB cream and the other ones in the market, and told us about the two different kinds that Pond's released; the age miracle and the flawless white BB cream, which has SPF and the first one helps you fight wrinkles and the latest helps you get rid of discoloration, and gives you a radiant whiter skin.

After Dr.Lilian finished her session, Pond's Arabia ambassador and my personal favourite great makeup artist Nilo Haq took over, and showed live how to use the BB cream, by using it on a model, Nilo continued to give us more makeup tips and tricks to create a fresh morning look in just few minutes. After the skin and makeup consultation we had time to ask Dr. Lilian and Nilo all the questions we had about the product.

And to end that great morning we were pampered by a mani and padi and some hand facials. I got to go back home with the two BB creams, and as I told you I have been using them and will post my mini tutorial soon.
