NEW COLLECTION FROM ISADORA 'BEACH CLUB'- REVIEW!


Hello lovlies! So its time for another review and this one comes from a Swedish brand which is relatively new in UAE called IsaDora. This brand is available in a lot of stores and is on the higher end in price point, its at-par with loreal pricing if you want to compare. The products though are outstanding. Today i will be reviewing the BEACH CLUB COLLECTION from this brand which landed on my desk 1 week back, yes thats how much i enjoyed using this collection, that i am ready to dish out a review! The nailpaint though is not my style, it screams 90's and i have happily left mine behind. So without further ado lets get on with the review shall we..

MORESQUE- TRIBUTE TO THE LEGACY OF ARABIC PERFUMERY, ART & CULTURE



Another luxury perfume review today and this one is by none other than PARIS GALLERY the luxury retailer in this region. This new launch was announced earlier this month and i am so stoked to be a part of it. These scents are inspired by and are tribute to arabic culture, art & tradition. There are 7 scents which were launched alongside one another and are all unisex. The brands name and identity take inspiration from the moorish civilization & architecture. The collection is divided into 3 parts- Black, White & the Art collection. This collection embodies the 'fine Italian' craftsmanship & finesse. Lets get to know more about these perfumes.

NEW SALLY HANSEN GEL NAILS!


Today's review is about the NEW SALLY HANSEN 'gel' nailpaints which are becoming quite a rage. A lot of brands are coming out with their version of Gel nailpaints which basically give the illusion of gel nails without having to go through the whole process of acquiring Gel nails. These claim to last long aswell. Now here is my thing with this new phenomenon, some brands have mastered this 'gel formula' and others not so much. Sadly the SH ones fall in the latter category. Another fact to be noted is that i am a 'house person' so i am always doing something or the other around the house (which is i am always washing my hands and all) so my testing also takes those factors into account that. Anywho lets get on with the review shall we.

NEW NUDE LIP LOVE! FT. SOAR


Coming to you guys with a new review and today's star is the MAC SOAR lip liner. This lip liner has been made famous, almost iconic by the nude lip queen of the decade 'Kylie Jenner'. Various nude lip liners have come into limelight since this phenomenon and most of them are by MAC. Whirl, Rosy Rim, Teddy, Soar, Spice & Strip down are all being coveted because of the sudden mass-obsession with 'nude lips'! And i am here to declare that i am a fresh-victim! ;D Let get to know this lip liner a bit better.

NEW ELECTRIC FACE CLEANSER IN THE MARKET! ft. OLAY REGENERIST *


So electric face cleansers are all the range right now (thanks to clarisonic)! The one i will be reviewing today is from drugstore and its a good alternative to the complicated & more extensive Clarisonic. Its far more gentler and the best one to use on daily basis. This one is by OLAY and its from their Regenerist range. The promo box comes with the brush and a skin perfecting cleanser. I have been using this for than a month now and gotta say i haven't gone back to Clarisonic Mia2 since. Read on for the whole review & my thoughts.

As you all know by now i am a matte lip gal...can't work glosses to save ma'life, so when i got the opportunity to go and see this new 'lighter than air & feels like water' product in action i was intrigued.

The world is obsessed with '50 SHADES OF GREY' at the moment & this phenomenon is here to stay!

BEEN HAULING! DRUGSTORE EDITION


So we all have those drugstore dash in's when we DO NOT buy any makeup related product! This haul is one of 'those', ok fine i got one 'makeup' related product! :D My last trip to boots resulted in me buying all things SOAP & GLORY. I have been obsessed with this brand since my introduction. They do Bath and Body products really well aswell as some makeup products ( sadly that range is not available in UAE yet!). My friend Zinobia from the Blog SparklesinmyPalette informed me of this Boots pharmacy which stocked all these goodies from S&G i rushed that instant! Heres the lowdown.

NEW DAY & NIGHT CREAM! ft. HERBLINE ESSENTIALS.*


I am soon going to be 30! (noooooo) so lately i have been looking into skincare. To be honest i was never a fan of 'face creams' in general, i just hated the whole greasy oily feeling on the face...but since the time i have shifted to Dubai and am stuck inside ACon buildings all day long 365 days a year my skin has started craving moisture. My skin started breaking out and  i started getting horrible dry patches and chapped lips. Thats when i decided & accepted that yes my skin routine has to change according to this weather. From thereon it was months of trial & error and seeing the doc aka GOOGLE.COM! :D
Finally i settled on many products & now I have a 'skincare routine' in place. This new cream fits perfectly in it. Read on..
