The Sephora Masks Box

Almost 8 months ago I was paying at the Sephora cashier, and I glimpsed new masks from Sephora, the facial sheets masks. I bought couple to try them, and since the moment I tried them, I have added them to my beauty routine before any big event or important outing. They leave my face feeling fresh, clean and moisturized.

I received a box of Sephora's face and eyes masks. The Lotus, Pomegranate and Rose masks for face and for the eyes. I tried the lotus eye mask, and boy how I notice the difference immediately, I have very sensitive skin under the eyes area, that need to be moisturized daily, and of course with all the madness that is happening in my life now with work, caring for a toddler and launching a new blog, I of course forget to put cream. So these little colorful sheets dramatically changed my life, I will just apply one every week, and it keeps the under eyes area moisturized and looking bright.

If you have dry skin, I recommend to use the rose face mask before applying your makeup. It will makes your face glowing and will prevent scaling of the foundation. The Lotus face mask is also to keep your face hydrated and helps with the daily moisturize to prevent drying, specially for girls like me who don't drink enough water, espcially in the coming cold months.

The Orange masks are anti-aging. I can't stress enough on the importance of using anti-aging products as soon as you hit your 27 years. I know you won't be having wrinkles until 10 more years, but using anti-aging products specially masks,will prevent those wrinkles for appearing early and highly decrease their appearance. So make it a ritual to use the Sephora Anti-aging mask even if you use it every other week.

Tahitian Summer with BBWs

Happy Eid Everyone and Happy Saudi National Day for all my Saudi readers. So as much I love the month of the September as sometimes I get depressed the soon it starts to end, as it officially announces the end of summer and the begging of fall. I don't know why fall and winter are always associated with dark colours in clothing and makeup, and super heavy perfumes. I don't like to fall the rules at all, for fall I still love to use summery fragrances to keep on reminding me of the beautiful memories I had at my summer vacation. That's why I fall madly in love with the new set from Bath and Body Works the "Tahiti Island Dream" which consists of shower gel, body lotion and body mist. I am so loyal to my Cotton Blossom set, I have to have that set always, I have finished up 6 of them. And now I guess I am getting obsessed with the new "Tahiti Island Dream". It is simply is a bomb of summer, it doesn't smell like the usual scents of the body mists and body lotions, it has its unique notes of coconut water, Kiwi, and Tahitian vanilla musk. Both the shower gel and body lotion contains Shea and vitamin E and Aloe Vera, all of that will leave your skin super hydrated and smelling like a Tahitian heaven, after shower I feel like I am stepping into an exotic resort with that girl handing me a flower crown, Just kidding.

Makeup Forever New Pro Bronze Fusion

10 days ago I received a package from Makeup Forever with two of their newest products, The Pro Bronze Fusion. in two different shades 30 M Sienna and number 35I Caramel. To be honest these two awesome bronzers just came in time for me. It is summer already and I am still looking pale from this harsh cold winter we had this year. Although I was moving between Cairo, Jeddah and The states but the weather this year was so cold, and I didn't have the time to get a proper tan. So for the last 10 days I have been using the Makeup forever religiously, and girls I have to tell you it is awesome. It gives you a natural looking bronze look, that's healthy and shiny for a summer look. It doesn't turn orange on my face which happens to me with a lot of other bronzers in the market. Also I was using the Makeup forever mini kabuki brush that fits perfect in your everyday makeup bag. That brush helps blend in the bronzer on your check with the rest of the makeup without showing any brush strokes, or the infamous contour rectangle that looks awuful if not bleneded well.

 The Pro Bronze fusion collection comes in 6 different shades divided into two groups the Luminous Matte for flawless undetectable nude finish, and lightly iridescent for a warm glowing complexion. You can find it in Dubai, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait and Egypt as well for the price of 180 Derhams and what is equivalent in other currencies.
