SALON STRENGHT HAIRCARE NOW IN UAE!! ft KEBELO SYSTEM*

Writing about shampoo and conditioner or a haircare system in general is always sketchy as its a very intimate thing, talking about a hair type and advising a haircare system to somebody is a major responsibility. So instead of advising i am going to talk about my hair, its condition & how this new system works for me. I was sent this care package almost 3 weeks back and since then i have used it with admirable results.

BRONZERS & DRUGSTORE! ft SOAP & GLORY SOLAR POWDER.

Bronzers are a good way to compensate for the lack of a holiday! To find the correct shade is often difficult as our skintones (knowing your undertone is of importance here) define the undertone of bronzer we go for. An ideal middle ground bronzer would be a true taupe-ish/brown shade (a color which mimics the shade and warms up the skin at the same time) but to find that in the drugstore is very very difficult. To get a more bronzed look, a bronzer with gold-brown tone is good. Having said that, all this obviously depends on your personal preference. The general rule of thumb is to choose a color which is 1-2 shades darker than your skintone. 

Myself, i like both the versions, the taupes are good for a more defined contoured+bronzed look and the gold+brown ones are good for an overall sun kissed look. Today's review is about a bronzer which is somewhere in the middle. 

SKIN REPUBLIC MASK REVIEW!*

I love a good mask! Who doesn't??! Over the past few years 'Sheet Mask' have really taken the beauty community by storm. The comfort of applying a product rich sheet on your face with all the benefits of a mask with no messy fingers is tempting. I like my mask the old school way, in a tub, taking a handful out, slathering it on my face with cucumber slices on my eyes & listening to 'girls just wanna have fun'!! :D

These sheet mask did take a lil getting used to but in the end it all comes down to our personal preferences. This post is about such masks from a company called SKIN REPUBLIC. Read on..

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..

MINI MAC HAUL'15!

I posted an Instagram post sometime back with a MAC haul and some of you wanted me to show what i got, so here it. This was such a impulsive buy and i am so glad, the MAC counters out here are always out of stock and that bums me out but this relatively new counter in Galleries Lafayette in Dubai mall is so beautifully stocked! Found a lipliner i was hunting down and bought a lipstick as well. 

GEL MASK!! USES & REVIEW ft. PETERTHOMASROTH

So a while back i picked up some products from PETER THOMAS ROTH, known for its amazing mask. Gel mask & Clay mask are all the rage these days. I love a good mask myself. I invest in skincare as much as i do in makeup, i feel if the canvas is beautiful the layering products automatically will be. This review will talk to you all about the benefits & usage of Gel Mask from this brand. 

HOLIDAY IN A BOTTLE BY ROBERTO CAVALLI! ft. PARADISO.*

Another attempt of mine at describing a parfum. This one is by ROBERTO CAVALLI and  its a fairly new one. If i have to describe this parfum in one sentence it would be something like this: 'Holiday In A Bottle'!! It was launched in February of this year and since then its been very popular and i totally get that.

I got few things so lets get on with it. 

FEBURARY'15 STAPLES!

Hey lovelies from this month on i will be featuring a post about some of the products from Beauty, Skincare or Lifestyle which i have been loving that month. This post is for the month of FEB'15. Let me know in the comments below if this is something you guys will like. I thought about an 'empties post' too but to be honest i do not go through products that fast so doing that every month would have been an issue. I might do a empties post as and when i do have empties but for now MONTHLY STAPLES it is. Lets get on with it..
