Fashion Trends 2016 | Sunglasses for your face shape

Dear Fashionistas!


It's officially summers!!
High-time to discuss sunglasses!

So with all your vacation & travel plans dont forget to treat yourself with a great pair of new sunglasses. Sunglasses dont only add instant glamour to your personality, makes you look hotter but they are great for protecting your eyes from UV rays & pre-mature aging.

Gorgeous looking sunglasses are a staple accessory in my collection. I love trying out different shapes, frames & colors to match my style. But buying sunglasses is a task it self. Because we wanna make sure that we get the most flattering frame style to compliment our face shape. Worry not, I have got your covered on this!

Look out for your face shapes to know my suggestions for most flattering frame picks for you. 




Round:
So if you have round face play with geometric shaped sunglasses to emphasize on your different features. Opt for rectangular shape to elongate your face while cat eyes will sharpen your soft features.
Recommended frames: Rectangular & sharp cat eyes.





Square:
Opposite to the round face girls, you should offset your features with curvier frames. Dont opt for squared or defined cornered frames as it with look too flat on your face.
Recommended frames: Butterfly, round, aviators & round cornered cat eyes.







Heart: 
If your have broad brows and narrow chin then you are Kylie Jenner's twin (No, I am kidding). Try out styles with bottom heavy frames to balance out. Shapes that are parallel and extend past the width of your face compliments your jawline. Aviators also look really flattering because the silhouettes contrasts your heart shaped face.
Recommended frames: Rectangular, exaggerated bottoms & aviators.






Oval:
Lucky you! because you have the most wiggle room when choosing eyewear & you are Rihanna twin! You basically get to wear whatever you want. You can opt for anything ranging from round to edgier.
Recommended: Round, Rectangular, aviators, cateye, oversized & the list goes on...




Which one are you picking?

Drugstore Gem | GOSH Prime'n Set - Primer & Mattifiying (Setting Powder)



I was filming a tutorial for my Youtube and I saw a little creasing on my undereye area and around my smile lines. I opened this product and applied it with my beauty blender. I filmed my tutorial and went out for dinner. during all this time whenever I touched my face it felt smooth & silky soft. And everytime I was thinking what have I used today and realized that its this powder.

Prime'n Set in a Primer & Mattifying setting powder. Its a multi usage product that can be applied on face before makeup to prime it or you can use over your base to set it, Versatile!!!



I am not sure about the priming part since I have dry skin and I use a hydrating primer but for setting my base I love it. The day I started using it, I never went back to any other powder product and I kept it in my vanity drawer right away.

I use it with a damp beauty blender to set my undereye area, T-zone and below my contour. It just melts into your skin and you dont have to work on blending it in. The powder is so fine and silky which makes your skin look smoother. I haven't seen any creasing or cakey-ness on my face ever since. This silky loose powder creates a flawless, matte-finish and an airbrush look.

Its also a great product for touch ups as its very light-weight and doesn't add any color. The surprising part is that my dry skin loves it and I am damn sure that if you have an oily skin this product will be an amazing primer.



It works wonders for the open pores and mattifiying your skin while still keeping it looking fresh. I am damn sure that this will solve the problem for oily skin people and make a great primer & setting powder for them. Your pores just disappear and your complexion looks fresh. This doesnt dry up your skin so no crack or visible fine lines. I cant rave enough about this product.

I have filmed a review video on my Youtube channel. Dont' forget to watch and give it a thumbs-up. Also do not forget to subscribe to my channel. Let me know in the comment section if you have any question or looking for any recommendations.

Our prayers have been answered, right?

REVIEW | City Radiance Foundation



Bourjois is one of best drugstore brands for foundations. If you find a perfect shade in the foundation your life becomes alot easier. One of the latest addition to Bourjois collection is their City Radiance Foundation, its for those who loves light, glowy, fresh yet long-wearing and utterly comfortable base. Summer is officially here and if any budget friendly base can survive Middle Eastern humidity, its Bourjois City Radiance Foundation.

The packaging is simple but very cute. Its a basic easy-to-use tube which is spill proof. At just 30ml per tube its fairly light weight and compact, that means you can carry it in your daily makeup bag or travel makeup. Attractive!



This foundation comes in 6 different shades, with warm and cool undertone. Te foundation tself is very light weight, blends very nicely and the gel like texture is both cooling and moisturizing- its perfect for dry, normal to oily skin. It smells so amazing of fresh water flowers. The best selling point for me is that its comfortable and protects your skin, with SPF30 + anti-pollution screen. both factors will not only protect your skin against the environment and sun but also prevents premature ageing. You guyz know how I feel about face products with SPF!


Its a sheer to medium coverage foundation, depends on how you apply it. It will even out your complexion, hide any redness, brighten and blur any imperfections because its formulated with radiance boosting pigments. If plump, fresh and glowy skin is what you crave, then this could be your answer! Despite being sheer it wears fairly well and holds up against oil, heat and humidity.

I am beyond impressed with this addition to Bourjois family.

Foundation Price: 81SAR/ 79AED
Available at all Bourjois counters across the kingdom and GCC.

Watch me using it:
