My Current Favorites

Ahh... I can't believe my blog will turn 1 year old this month! I'm so excited! and YES I will be holding a giveaway soon.Also school ends after 1 month *HAPPY DANCE* When do you finish school? Any how today I'll be doing my current favorites.I have been loving lots of products lately,but I picked the top 10 products that I have been using and loving the most!

1.Macadamia Deep Repair Masque 500ml : 

I have been wanting to try this for over 2 years,but I couldn't bring myself to buy it.Since it is quit pricey (180sr ) BUT I love this product to death!! I have dry damaged hair and after I use this mask my hair feels soft and silky.I use it 2 times a week.It's totally worth the money.I have had this for about 3 months and I'm not even 1/4 the tub.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           2.Naruko Peeling Gel:

I bought this off ebay for about $15.It was shipped from Taiwan,and It arrived in less than 7 days.I forgot the sellers name,but she had free shipping worldwide! I have been wanting to try this brand for a while now and I also wanted to try a peeling gel.I read online that it's better to use a peeling gel for acne prone skin than a scrub.I really liked this product,but I don't think I would repurchase it again.Due to the reason that I'd like to try peeling gels from other brands. 

3.The Body Shop's Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion: 

When I was visiting my relatives I had this really bad break out,and my cousin gave me this to try.She uses it all the time and she has beautiful clear skin.So I tried it and I fell in love,because the next day my pimples were almost gone! I went ahead and bought it from TBS for about 39sr ($10).I was debating which one should I get,because they had 2 different lotion a day and a night one.The SA at the first store was like get both,I was like I want something so heel my acne and not leave marks.She was like they're both the same.I didn't like the fact that she just wanted to sell me the product! Then I went to another store and the SA there was very nice and helpful she explained the difference between them and recommend me the night lotion for my needs,and she even gave me a sample of their BB Cream. Oh I also love that it has a pump!! 

4.Urban Decay Naked Flushed: I bought this from Sephora for $32.I love the fact that its travel friendly and is a 3 in 1!(Bronzer,Highlight,and Blush).I like the blush it looks really nice on my skin tone.I love everything about this product except one thing.It's the fact that it doesn't last a long time after about 3 hours it would start to wear off. I like it,but not enough to repurchase it .

5.Maybelline One By One Volume Express Mascara: 

I love this mascara for many reasons
-Affordable
-Lengthens 
-Volumes 
-Cute Packaging 
-East to fine








6.Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Erase:

This concealer is amazing!I think it's totally worth the
hype,because it actually conceals my dark circles without looking ashy and grey! It also remind me of Benefits' Hello Flawless foundation,because it has this twisty thing to make sure you use up all the product in the tube.And its pretty affordable (Under $10).I got it in the shade Honey.I like everything about except the fact that the applicator is a sponge.(Which you can see in the pic below) Which is very unhygienic! So don't share this with your friends ! 

                                                                                                         Not Hygienic At ALL

 7-Mac 208 Brush: I love this brush for drawing my eyebrows!I'm the type of person that believes not just the make up has to be good quality so does the brush.I have seen a difference in the way my brows look when I use this brush.Like seriously I'm not exaggerating! But it is an expensive brush. The only con is the price 118sr (Sold for $20 in the USA)                                                                            

                                                                      

                                                                        8-Exfoliating Gloves:

 I got this as a gift from my aunt <3 ! This thing is so amazing.

 9-Rose Water:

I filled this cute spray bottle from Daiso with Rose Water.I have been using rose water as my toner,because it has lots of amazing benefits such as anti-oxidants,anti-bacterial properties,soothes irritated skins,and many more benefits!I will make a different post talking about all that good stuff.  On top of all the good benefits it has for your skin its cheap!It's a win win!

10-EOS Lip Balm In Pomegranate Raspberry:I love this lip balm so much for lots of reasons,but the most important reasons are:-cute packaging -100% Natural -90% Organic -Tastes & Smells AMAZING!!!

Winter Empties !

Heey Guys <3

I' haven't done an empties post in a very long time.I will do my empties post from now on every season,because that's just easier.And I would have time to use up some products.

1-Mong Leya lotion 

2-Himalaya Refreshing & Clarifying Toner: I love this toner,because it's alcohol free,paraben free,and for acne prone skin.It's very gentle on the skin and isn't drying. 

I would definitely repurchase this product again 5/5

3-Nivea Soothing Toner: This was an okay toner.But I didn't like it,because it had alcohol and it made my skin feel a little dry. 

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

4-St.Ives Apricot Scrub: I didn't like this scrub a lot.I bought it because of all the hype that I read about it.But it ended up drying my skin and irritated my acne.So I used it as a body scrub just to use it all up. I also posted an in depth review on this product!

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

5-Olay Moisturizer: My mom got me this a while ago,and it was another okay product.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again2/5

6-The Face Shop Blemish Zero Toner: I'm so glad I didn't but the full size,because it wasn't anything special.But I liked that it was 3 free.The full size of this toner is like $30.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

7-Clean & Clear advantage gel: I love love this product,but sadly it's not sold in Saudi.This is my 4th or 5th tube <3

I would repurchase this product again 5/5

Review:[Veet] Easy grip ready to use wax strips for dry skin

Hello my lovelies 



Today I'll be review Veet's new wax strips for dry skin! But before that I'd like to talk a bit about my experience with other veet products.My first time trying anything from veet was about 3 years ago.I bought there wax strips the ones that look like this

40 strips and 6 wipes come in the box! I hated this product so much.That I ended up throwing it away.Later on my friend told me about this hair removal cream from Veet that she's in love with.

Again I hated this product for many reasons.

☆I hated the smell its suffocating 

☆It's just like shaving my hair grows the next 1-2 days

☆If you have sensitive skin this isn't the product for you.It stings and it also gave me a rash

so this was another product that belonged in the trash!After that I swore to never buy any veet products again.Then one day while me and my cousins were getting ready for a wedding my cousins decided to buy the new version of the veet wax strips for sensitive skin.

There are 3 different wax strips for different skin types: Sensitive,dry,and normal.I have tried both the sensitive and dry skin ones.And loved them!

Today I'll review the one for dry skin:

Description:

Try the new Veet EasyGrip™ Ready-to-use wax strip and get beautiful smooth skin in 5 easy steps in the comfort of your home! The new EasyGrip™ Tab makes the waxing process more intuitive and simpler. All you have to do is just ‘pull up’ with the easy grip tab and you get sexy smooth skin instantly! Isn’t it much more convenient than specially visiting a parlour for waxing?

It takes only a few seconds to rub the wax strips between your hands to warm the wax, place it on your skin and pull it back on itself very quickly. Each strip has been carefully chosen to leave you feeling pampered and ready for anything.

Steps:

Rub the wax strip between your hands for approximately 5 seconds to warm the wax.
Top tip: If you are waxing for a special occasion, try not to do it the night before to avoid any tell-tale redness.

Holding the EasyGrip™ tab, slowly peel the strips apart.

Apply the strip with EasyGrip™ tab to your leg towards the ankle and rub the strip repeatedly in the direction of hair growth (knee to ankle).

Holding the EasyGrip™ tab, pull the strip back on itself against the direction of hair growth (from ankle to knee for legs) very quickly and in 1 swift motion, keeping the strip as close to your skin as possible. Hold the skin taut to avoid discomfort.

After waxing, remove any excess wax with a Perfect Finish wipe.

Main Ingredients:

Aloe Vera,well know for it's skin moisturizing properties!

My thoughts:

I really love this product its a life savior.When I first started using it it was painful I wont lie.and my hair grew back in a week or two! But as I used it more the pain gradually decreased and so did the hair growth.Now I feel like its a sting and my hair doesn't grow back till 2-3 months later.

I apologies for not using my own pics,but I'm on vacation so I don't have the product with me.So the pics from the internet will have to make do!

All pics and information on the product are not mine.

Have you tried this any of the products mentioned above?What did you think of them?
