New Summer 2016 Launches @SephoraMiddleEast

Hi Beauties!

If you have been following me on my Instagram you would have noticed that recently I attended an event at Sephora Tahliya for the opening of Ladies Only Mezzanine floor with Dior, Benefit & Urban Decay counters for getting your makeup done with other services.
It was fun event where Benefit finally opened their Brow Bar, Dior introduced their skin care & makeup station followed by a Huge 100 Lipstick collection launch by Urban Decay. I still cant get over the fact that we were the first few lucky ones who got to witness the launch of these lipstick, like how amazing is that!

Lately Sephora have been on a roll of introducing alot of new brands & putting some major dents on our wallets. We saw that Too Faced, Urban Decay, Smashbox hit the Sephora shelves & thats not it. With passing time Sephora is giving us even bigger surprises & trust me they have alot more planned for you guyz.

Here is what we are going to see in 2016

Drugstore Gem | 5 Must try products from GOSH

Hi Beauties!

GOSH is an innovative cosmetics company based in Denmark that offers a wide selection of products ranging from fragrance to cosmetics to skin care. All the development, production and distribution takes place from Denmark to ensure the quality of products.
GOSH provides the good quality products at very affordable prices. Not only this but all their products are harmless, parabeen-free & crulety-free brand, Yes!!!

The good news for my beauties is that now this amazing brand is available in Saudi Arabia and across GCC. Hurrayyy!!!

So a couple of weeks back they contacted me and told me that they are interested in sending me a few products to try and review. I was excited because I never tried anything from GOSH. I received the package and the sent me 7 products to try.

I kept them in my new products storage to try and the products made their way to my vanity very quickly as they are that amazing. I used and felt in love with almost of their products because I wasn't expecting this much of effectiveness and good results. GOSH has become my new favorite beauty brand!




GOSH Prime'n Set:
Prime'n Set is 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. Read more here or watch my complete review video.





Primer Plus + Illuminating Skin Perfecter:
This product is infused with skincare ingredients and create a visibly even skin tone, reduces imperfections, fine lines, redness and smoothens your pore, leaving you with a illuminated complexion. To my surprise this product doesn't add alot of coverage but does a pretty good job in even-ing out the skin. It contains Silsoft E-pearl, an emulsion that provides moisture and helps in lightening the skin. I love using it on daily bases to prime and add some coverage to my face but I also love using it under my foundation for a beautiful dewy and airbrush look. It can also be used under your powder foundations or mineralized powders. Another versatile & very effective product!







BoombasticXXL Swirl Volume Mascara: 
Any makeup product that has nourishing ingredients, I am always down for them. We often forget that like our head hair our lashes and eyebrow also need some care. This mascara, unlike any other mascaras I have used, is formulated with Argan oil which moisturizes your hair and Vitamin E boosts the hair growth. So this mascara doesn't only give you full, voluminous lashes but it also helps in nourishing and growing them. The formula is not too wet and once applied this doesnt make your lashes very dry and stiff looking, instead it curls and add a decent thickness to your lashes. The formula is creamy and easy to apply, no clumping here!





Velvet Touch Lipstick- 010 Matt Smoothie:
You guyz already know how I feel about lipsticks!
This one feels like milk chocolate on your lips, very smooth. It is a matte formula but its very comfortable on your lips, stays forever and doesn't end up on your teeth or below your lips. This lipstick is hella pigmented that you don't need to go over and over to get the color, One swipe is enough! This creamy lipstick ensures easy application, good color pay off. Its formulated with hyaluronic acid to moisturize, hydrate and soothe your lips. Not to forget that it smells amazing, that I almost bite it!




9 Shades Shadow Collection:
Last but not the least is this awesome cool toned matte eyeshadow palette. Who doesn't like a cool toned natural to smokey eyeshadow palette? We all have enough of warm toned palettes and I myself, is a big fan of them. But the color selection in this palette is just amazing. I can see myself using it and there are a hundred thousand possibilities of look. I was expecting these to be chalky and less pigmented but to surprise these eyeshadows are really good. All these eyeshadows are matte but still they have this beautiful sheen to them which doesn't make them look flat. It has so many color options in order to get any makeup for daytime or night. These eye shadows are pigmented, color pay off is amazing and they blends very easily. I love the packaging as its very sleek and sturdy. Its a great palette on-the-go which can be carried in a bag on daily basis and awesome for travelling unlike my other palettes. Who needs some daily looks?

Underrated Products | Sephora Sheet Masks (Do they really work???)

Hey Beauties!

So probably till now you guyz already know how much I love these. But Yes I had to have a dedicated post about these on my blog too, just in case if you guys are not following me on my Instagram or Youtube, there were chances you could have missed this amazingness!! So make sure to follow me everywhere.

(Now, enough of my rant and coming back to the post)

I have been loving these sheet mask for over an year now, these are the first sheet masks I have ever tried and they became my skincare staple. I keep reaching back to them no matter what I try. These sheet masks are really good and gives ah-mazing results too.

They are so colorful and you know how I feel about colors :-)

You can watch my video for more details :

Dont forget to subscribe to my Youtube chanel and give a follow on Instagram.

These sheet masks come in a beautiful, colorful round packing. Each color has a different ingredient to target different skin concerns. So all these colors indicate all the solutions we have for our skin now.

The sheet mask it self is very awesome and big enough to cover any face shape. It sits perfectly on your face contours and stays on it without failing to slip down or mess up. Its not too thick nor too thin, but perfectly sized to absorb all that goodness of serum and locking it into your skin.

The serum consistency of these masks is amazing, not too runny neither sticky or thick. The serum really gets into your skin. The masks are slightly scented, which is really relaxing I feel (as I hate scent less products).

The most surprising part is there pricing, I am really happy that they cost like around $6 dollars and yet very effective. I love how they have so many options for so many different problems, each of them seems to work really well. You can see instant results after using.

These masks are really easy to use. You have to apply these on cleansed face for 15-20 minutes as per the direction but I leave it on skin till the time its completely try. the masks are drenched in the serum once you open the packaging, so there is always extra serum in the packet which I like to take with my fingers and use on neck area.

I have tried all of these and none of them ever failed me. As most of you know that I have dry to combo skin so I love the liquid product for that extra hydration. So lets talk a little about each individual one with its ingredients.

1. Linghzi mask for Anti-Aging & Smoothing (Orange one):
This mask has the extracts of Linghzi which is a mushroom used for its anti-bacterial and anti-aging properties. This has to be among my top 5 of this line. It really helps with fine lines, wrinkles and any other signs of aging.

2. Rose mask for Ultra Moisturizing & Brightening (Fuchsia one):
This mask contains the extracts of rose flower which is amazing for moisturizing, toning and brightening your skin. The rose also has a beautiful fragrance to relax and calm. My skin loves this mask for its ultra moisturizing properties and it brightens your complexion, leaving your skin beautiful. I love using this mask for days when I wanna feel comfortable in my skin or also for achieving that flawless dewy/glowy makeup look. Give it a try and you will know what I am talking about.

3. Honey Mask for Nourishing & Balancing (Honey one): 
Honey is also known for its anti-bacterial properties and for making your skin really moisturized and soft. My skin tends to get really sensitive because of this hot humid weather and intense workout session. But this mask always helps with the sensitivity and soothes my skin by balancing its moisture level.

4. Ginseng mask for Tonning & Revitalizing (Yellow one):
Ginseng is a herb with countless skin benefits like anti-aging, toning, helping with dark spots/circles and improving your natural complexion. It really revitalizes your skin, rstores the suppleness and leaves it beautiful.

5. Green Tea mask for Mattifying & Anti-blemish (Green one):
My oily skin girls, this has to be in your skincare routine. It absorbs the extra sebum from your skin that makes it oily and it helps in keeping it matte. The mask is great for pimples and will be your best friends during hot summers.

6. Lotus mask for Moisturizing & Soothing (Pink one):
Again, my skin loves it since it helps in locking the moisture and makes it look fresh. Its amazing for making your skin look stress-free,well-rested and plumped.

7. Pomegranate mask for Anti-fatigue & Energizing (Red one):
It tones and helps your skin fight the factors causing fatigue. It really energizes your skin leaving it flawless.

8. Pearl mask for Perfecting & brightening (Baby pink one):
If I have to pick one out of all these, then this has to be the one. It doesnt matter what kind of skin you have, you need to try it. It has extracts of natural origin pearl, which helps in minimizing the irregularities and gives you a perfected skin. It moisturizing your skin, makes it glowing-from-the-moon and amazingly brightens your complexion. I love this for special occasion for that extra radiance and its a must have product for my all flawless dewy makeup looks.

I highly recommend these to everyone which has skin concerns and everybody has loved them so far. I have written this review since I felt there was not enough information about these anywhere and I felt the need.
