OOTD | Weekend Blues on fleek

Dear Fashionistas!

Its already fall my girls. As much as we love the sunshine, summer drinks & pool, we also love layering up our looks in some beautiful colors for this season.

Recently I discovered this awesome brand named Cache Cache. As soon as I entered their store in Aziz mall, I felt that each & every piece is so my kind. I went gaga over them & bought so many tees, shirts, blazer, scarves & even sneakers. They have so many trendy & chic pieces, that I feel I can rock each one of those.

I was on search for a good birthday outfit to rock my all new 3.1 Phillip Lim in cobalt blue. I knew the colors, I had to pick something which had some chic & sporty vibes. I love stripes in black & white which is my favorite combo. Also I needed the perfect accessories to match the metal black detailing on my bag & cobalt in my outfit to tie it up all together.



And while keeping all this in my mind, this croptop caught my eyes & it was love at first sight. The color of sequence & this cute cat just looked perfect. I loved the number sticker on the sleeves, perfect combo of sporty, chic, bold & glamorous.

I wanted to keep all the attention to my bag & shirt to highlight the color, so I paired it with a simple black tights from New Look. I wore a black tank top underneath my croptop to cover the shirt length.

I got this perfect pair of sneakers from the same shop Cache Cache, they have sequence & has same color combo aka blue, black with silver sequins.



In accessories I had these beautiful Michael Kors sun glasses in blue shade & grey-silver frame. But with the watch I was confused as I couldn't wear a gold, rose gold or even silver with the black hardware of my bag.



I saw this pretty arm candy on Swarovski facebook page & instantly I ran to the store to pick it because it has perfect color to go with my bag & its really different then my usual watches. So, I picked this beautiful Swarovski Crytalline Oval Black watch with an all new stardust bracelet to go with it. Check



I used my Avon Speed Dry nail paint which I love the most out of my collection. I paired my outfit with a thick wing liner & bold pink lips.

Check out my complete look here & arm candy here.

I am in love with this outfit & will be repeating it real often. Makes me feel so "On fleek" & very comfortable for weekends, dinners & outings. How did you like my outfit? How will you rock this croptop?Let me know in the comments.


Stay Fashionable!

MACaholic | MAC Fix+ spray (Limited Edition)

Hey Beauties!

I'm here again with another fab product review from my favorite beauty brand. Today we are talking about MAC Fix+ spray & see if its worth all the hype or no.

Let me burst your bubble. NO! its not a setting spray. 

This product is often considered to be something which sets your makeup, but its NOT a setting spray. Instead its a very versatile perp, prime, finishing & refreshing spray. This product can be used in many different ways with your makeup which I will cover in another post.

So you guys must be wondering that what this spray is?
Well its a mist which acts as a bonding agent for your makeup, keeps it fresh & gives you a beautiful natural finish. Its basically designed to smoothen your skin, foundation & makeup texture. It does help your makeup stay longer but it doesn't set it.





This product is great for those having dry or dehydrated skin. The spray comes out in an equal mist on your face with every pump, not like a straight liquid on your face. I mostly use it under my foundation & after my moisturizer. I spray about 2-3 spritz & let it dry before applying my foundation. It does keep my skin smoother, fresh, makes my foundation last longer & gives it a very beautiful finish.

I have been wanting to try it since very long but always skipped it telling myself that I dont really need it. I'm glad that I did that because I finally picked it in limited edition lavender fragrance which smells ahmazing!. MAC limited editions are always a Yasss! for me & I love it if I get the regular shades or products in special packaging/fragrance.





I have been using it under my foundation, I tried it with Revlon Airbrush Photoready foundation, Dior Nude Air Serum Tint & Urban Decay Naked Ultra definition foundation. It works great under all of these especially it gives a beautiful look to my powder foundation. It really helps to smoothen that cakey foundation look on your face & I feel it helps in controlling the oil. This doesnt feel thick or sticky on my skin & it actually helps in reducing the pores. It preps & primes my skin for a flawless foundation & makeup application.

So, overall its a very versatile product that has many uses beside making your foundations look flawless. I will highly recommend you all to pick yours & I can see myself going through it like a candy. It has become a must have in my makeup routine & I would definitely repurchase. I purchased the limited edition for 112SAR which is really good. If you have not tried it then you are missing on life. Go, grab yours now!



Stay Gorgeous Girls!

Drugstore Gem | Boots Cucumber Whitening Moisturizing Day Cream

Hey Beauties!

I'm here to review another skin care product. When the weather is soaring upto 50' & humidity increases, our skin responds to it in a different way as well. May be you have been using some products which proved to be the best suit for your skin or you had the skin issues like me. I'm really careful about the basic care of my skin, if not extraordinary. I always use a good face wash, moisturizing day/night creams, eye cream & eat healthy because this all reflects on your skin.

If you follow my monthly favorites or regular skin care posts then you probably see the same products in the skin care routine coming back again and again. But with this heat my skin felt extra dehydrated & dried up to the level that I had rashes on my T-zone. All things were irritating my skin & I couldnt even use an SPF on my face. So I decided to change my skin products to something more lighter & moisturizing.

I changed my face wash & started using Dove Inner Glow NutriumSerum face wash which really helped in locking the natural moisture. But I also needed a good day cream which is light, has an SPF & also has whitening effect though I'm fair but still needs it to avoid the dullness & black spots. . I looked in few stores but nothing impressed me & I visited Boots to pick a few things where I saw this cream. I checked the label for the elements I was looking for and it ticked them all, so I opened the jar, smelled it & instantly bought it.




It effectively lightens & helps protecting the skin from daily UV exposure It contains whitening complex to lighten the skin naturally, removing the black patches/spots or any dullness on your face. Added UV filter protects the skin against sun exposure & damages. n addition, It is formulated with vitamins A & E which helps protecting the skin from environmental & weather damages leaving it soft & cucumber helps in preserving the natural skin moisture & enhances its complexion. .

It has really helped in making my skin more radiant, plump & glowing. I see a big difference on the areas I had spots or dullness. My skin looks even toned, radiant, brighter & all the sensitivity has gone. This smells divine like a very fresh & sweet cucumber that I m in love with.




So, if you are looking for something like this I will highly recommend that you guyz check out this cream. Totally worth its price & I have already repurchased it.. Enjoy another drugstore product, till next time.

Retails for 16SAR @ Boots Pharmacy

Stay Bright & Glowing!

Drugstore Gems | MUA Luxe (Are they really a dupe for Limecrime velvetine)

Dear Lipstick Junkie!

I am a lipstick hoarder & I have tried my best to try out as many liquid lipsticks as I can. On a recommendation I picked MUA Luxe Liquid Lipstciks in 3 colors; Tranquility(Peachy nude), Criminal (Hot pink) & Kooky ( Dark purple). They cost around 50SAR from an Instagram online store.

I was super excited to try out these because I checked a few videos & I loved the way they looked. The packaging is frost where you can see the lipstick shade like Velvetines, with a black cap & brush for application like many other liquid lipsticks.



The formula is little thicker then the original Velvetines & takes a little longer to dry on lips. Regardless of the timely sticky-ness, these babies dry to velvet-matte finish & stay for decent hours. These lipsticks are super pigmented , opaque color in one swipe- no to wait, dry & another layer to it. They are smudge proof & can be used without a lipliner.

I firstly swatched these on my hands & I was amazed that they stay put after hours of washing chores. The darker color remains for longer duration then the lighter
shades. I noticed that after scrubbing, laundry & dishes the darker shade was still on while the lighter one had only some remains.


The only downside is that they start flaking, makes my lips a little dry & doesnt stay forever on my lips. My friends have used them and it stay on their lips for like forever, the poor ladies have to use olive oil & lip scrub to get rid of it. But for me they stayed for like 2 hours and after that I had to reapply.

I dont mind that at all since they are very easy on pockets & for those who dont wanna spend on Velvetines can also get something similar but for me they are not the dupe for their formula. They come in very pretty range of colors options to select from.

L-R: Tranquility, Kookie & Criminal

You can see my lip swatches on my Instagram or below.
