Top 12 Fall 2016 Trends | Bombers, Military, Oilive, Velvet, Fur, Patchwork, Pins, Chokers


*I wish you guys could see my face while writing this post, I am that excited.*

I am always excited for this season of the year as we hardly get any cold here in Jeddah but this year I am really looking forward to it as I am gonna be in Pakistan. I have been seeing many different trends popping up but I narrowed down mine and have finally started to shop for it.

With all the fashion weeks ended and people already started to transition their looks into fall I have picked my favorites. And while I shop all these and revamp a few of old ones I wanted to share these with you guyz too.



1. Military/olive colors:
This one has to be my favorite color for the season. I have been seeing it every where in pants, jackets, shoes everything.  This season is really dominated by all things military style, color and print. I really want to pick a military jacket and I have also seen amazing lace up heels at Bershka.
While shopping I noticed few of great pieces @ Bershka, Pull and Bear, ZARA and New Look.



2. Patch work & Pins:
We all have many pair of jeans a few denim jackets and to be honest I am kinda over them because I have been wearing them since my childhood. But this patch work is going to give a new look to many of our staple pieces while adding that pop of fun to the. I am so excited to do some DIYs with all the patch stickers and pins available in market. A few great were spotted @ Also, Stradivarius & Newlook. Oh Oh, Top shop and Newlook has a great pair of jeans with sequined patch work on them.




3. Velvet:
The fabric of the season is so wonderfully soft that you'll want to touch it constantly. Velvet looks so sexy and luxe on body. But this years its not limited to your clothes as I have spotted many shoe, flats, sneakers, heels to bags, gloves and chokers on runway and street. Already having an obsession with the beautiful colors of it, I have purchased 4 shirts to get them embroidery and looking for my perfect pair of shoe now.



4. Fur:
Designers have already had a love affair with luxe fur stoles but asymmetrical draping style trick makes it different than ever before. But you can carry it how ever you prefer and they have been such a staple for fall wardrobe always. I have already got mine and I cant wait to rock it.




5. Military Trench coat:
Pre fall nautical trends continues strong into fall 2016 with navy/military inspired knee to ankle length coats. I have seen them every where from very formal to the ones with patch works. Pair it with heels or sneakers, this trend is here to never fail your outfit goals.



 6. Camo Prints:
Lets just confess, we all have a pair of cargo pants in camo print! but this season its not limited to your pants. Camo skirts, camo shirts, camo jackets are all around the stores. Camo print jackets are having a major moment.

PS: Why have I noticed alot of military/camo stuff? Is it me, because I am getting married to an army man or is it really big?? But regardless I am completely rocking these.




 7. Statement Sleeves:
So the off shoulder made it to fall by encouraging us to play with different styles of sleeves like ruffles, bell bottomed, bubble sleeves, balloon style, poofed up and so on. This is going to add just an extra cute detail to out outfits. I have been thinking about Disney princesses ever since I noticed this one.




 8. Embellishes Guitar Straps:
I am a bag lover and any detail to my bag is a big hit for me. I have been noticing this from the beginning of the year. It is such a cool trend that you can pull off without trying to hard. You can carry this trend on casual days and it will look great on coats and jackets. Yayyyyy!!!!



9. Choker:
Chokers have been around since long but they made a major come back this year. It doesnt matter if you prefer a thin velvet strap or a big heavy metal ones, just make sure there is a choker on your neck to add a little edge to your outfits. I have seen a really goos ones at Stradivarius with a pack of 5 for 59 SAR.




10. Leather Trench coat:
Looking for a raincoat thats equal parts chick and functional? Look no further than next season's patent leather trench coats. Designers looked into leather to craft coats in sleek silhouettes. These style also varies from your classic trench to street-ready.




11. Bombers:
Bomber jackets were big this season and they have definitely staying in fall. Originally designed for WWII pilots in mid 1950, bomber jackets have transformed from a part military uniform, to a high-street fashion staple. Not only does it look sharp but you can wear it with anything and look fashion shot ready.
This trend is so easy to wear_ pair it with bomber of choice with jeans or chinos and a button-down shirt or throw it on your sweats.



12. Sweats:
For me, sweats are always in and this season I have another reason to rock it more often. We all love sweats because how comfy and cozy are they. Do we need more excuses to wear it? Hell no, We dont even need one but I still gave you one more.

So have you decided yours? I am definitely doing some DIYs and fashion posts. Would you guyz like to see it or read it? Let me know in the comments below.

Underrated Products | Boots Ingredients Leave-In-Conditioner & Intensive Treatment Mask

Hi Beauties!

Sorry for being MIA, life happens you know...

I dont know why people dont talk alot about all the products from Boots? Like why people? They are really good and very easy on pocket and when its sale they are almost for free. I have always loved Boots products and none of them ever disappointed me. I love their Cucumber Moisturizing cream and alot more products which you will be seeing on my blog soon.




But today I finally took out the time to review two of the best product discovery of this year.  If you girls have been following me on Instagram or Snapchat (anambaig.ksabh), chances are you guys have probably seen these products there. These products required a detailed post on my blog, so here it is.


Note: If I sound like a promo, please ignore because I love these so much!


Boots Ingredients Leave-In-Conditioner:

So the first product I am talking about is the Boots Ingredients Leave-In-Conditioner with Coconut & Almonds which is suitable for Normal to Dry hair.

Lets take a moment and appreciate the fragrance of it!!!

 I just love how fresh and amazing it smells without being too over powering. Think of your self on beach with fresh coconut water with a warm hint of almond, it smells like that. Its a Hawaiian vacys in bottle!!!
Now back to the actual product, it has the extracts of Coconut & Almond (as if you don,t already know). This leave-in-conditioner is formulated to condition the hair, helping to leave it soft and tangle free.

While changing my hair care routine I have noticed that my hair love anything coconut.I was little skeptical about how a leave-in-conditioner works, like how will it abdorb since the regular hair conditioner are really slippery and makes my hair very silky!! But it really helps in conditioning them without leaving any traces of product on my hair.

It makes my hair soft and conditions them really well which is amazing for my dry frizzy hair. In this weather if a product keeps my hair in place, frizz-free and fights humidity, sign me up!

I use it every time I wash my hair. It comes in a bottle with spray pump which makes it very easy to apply and the product distributes evenly on your hair. I use about 4-5 spritz to cover my hair. I just spray it on my damp hair and them gently comb through my fingers to evenly distribute it. I don't use it on my roots or scalp, just on the hair starting from my ear to the tips.

As soon as my hair dries the product is completely absorbed in and my hair feels very luscious. I love how it makes them soft, silky and tangle-free.

Its an amazing product for those who have dry, frizzy and color treated hair. I have also noticed that it makes a big difference when I heat style my hair, they are more manageable and stays in plays without phooofing up!

I would highly recommend this to those who need something extra after shower to fight the frizz and humidity. Its very cheap, smells amazing and leaves your hair beautiful. What else do we need?




Boots Ingredients Intensive Treatment Mask:

The second product I am reviewing for you guys is Boots Ingredients Intensive Treatment Mask. This mask is formulated with Avocado & Macadamia which means its amazing for moisturizing, hydrating, reconstructing, strengthening and nourishing the hair follicles.

Avocado helps in moisturizing the hair, to fight the frizz, dullness, tangles and roughness where as Macadamia is amazing for de-stressing your scalp, prevents moisture loss, adds shine and fights hair-fall.

It comes in a very basic packaging (which I love about Boots products) and its big enough to last you a very long time. Its basically a deep conditioning and moisturizing treatment for normal to dry hair. I am definitely on the dry category with my skin and hair.

The first thing I noticed when I opened it is the smell. By now you girls know that I like my products with a little bit scent to them. I simply hate the fragrance-less products. But that doesnt mean I love them with a very strong fragrance, NO! This one smells really fresh and amazing without being too overboard.

The consistency of this product is thick like a mayoniesse but once you apply, it really soaks into your hair. I was also a little confused about this product as I never used a hair mask before and didnt know how they work. But this product also worked really well for me.



On the instructions it says to apply it before 5 minutes and rinse with a shampoo but what I like to do is, apply a generous amount of it on my hair and cover my head with a shower cap for atleast 30 minutes and then rinse. I feel that leaving it for longer really helps. The product moisturizes my hair and covering it with a shower cap also helps it in absorbing the goodness in my roots.

After shower my hair feels very soft and silky. I love using it in between the days with my oiling routine, when I cant put oil I use this as a quick treatment for moisturizing my hair.

So if you are on budget or in generally looking for a good hair or even skin care products, don't forget to try these products from Boots.

Drugstore Gems | Rimmel 9-in-1 BB cream ( Matte & Radiance)




Just like every other BB cream, Rimmel BB creams also claims to provide many benefits in one tube!
So, Today we will read if the claims are actually true and does this thing really works? 

I am a fan of these Alphabetic cream, especially BB cream. I love my skin base minimal and light but no matter how hard your try you end up layering different products for different properties. Thats why I love BB creams as they have multiple benefits and I don't have to go all those steps, because hey! I ain't got no time in morning. 

I have been using the Rimmel BB cream Matte from a very long time and I discovered that they have a Radiance version when it came in my mail. Yippeeee!


I love how these have 9 benefits which primes, smoothes, conceals, minimize pores, moisturizes for upto 24hr, awakens, brightens and mattifies/adds radiance depending on which one you picked. The shades have more of cool to neutral undertones which I like as everyone can wear these unless you wanna look really warm or bronzy summer ready. 

The best part is I get to apply only one layer of product and in summers its all about let your skin breath. I love how it has SPF 25 which is always a plus point to makeup product I pick. I have dry skin but for some reasons my skin hate ayering up the products and it just hates SPF separately. If I apply any product which is a little heavy I feel my skin cant breath and its suffocated, it also sweats alot. 



These BB creams have more of a moussy thicker texture than most of the Westernized BB creams, it is closer to the Korean version of BB creams. Thats why these BB creams require a little more blending than your usual ones. Most of the people claim that these just sit on their skin and doesn't get absorbed. The reason behind this is the texture, you require less product than your usual BB creams and blend it a little more too. once they are blended they give you a beautiful sheer-to-medium coverage that lasts.

I don't recommend this for the sensitive or acne prone skin since it has potentially irritating amount of alcohol and fragrance, so chances are your skin can react. So if you have acne prone or sensitive skin, pass on this one!!!





But its a really good product for those with normal skin. The matte version works well for oily to normal skin, but works fine for the dry skin too (speaking from the experience). I would also suggest that oily skin people set it with a powder just to keep it in the place and last longer in this hot weather (I love the Rimmel Match Perfection for that). Its not a matte-matte version but gives you a subtle matte-ish look, just keep that in consideration.




The Radiance version is good for dry skin only as I feel its just too dewy for normal skin even. But its better than many other drugstore version of BB creams and my second favorite after Ponds BB Cream.  I use my Ponds BB+ throughout the year but I also really enjoy the Rimmel one during colder months. 

Primes??                  Yes
Smoothes??              Yes
Conceals??               Almost
Minimize pores??     Almost
Moisturizes??           Yes
Awakens??               Absolutely
Brightens??              Not really
Mattifies??               Somewhat
Radiance??               Yes



Overall:
They are a really good product that works as it claims. It has SPF, primes and gives a good coverage. Its also very light on pocket and the tube packging makes it really easy to use. Its also very great to carry in our bags to work or school. However there are few things which you need to consider before making your purchase. Regardless its my second favorite and I absolutely enjoy it. It doesnt sit into my line or transfer to my scarf. It makes my skin look perfected and more rested + awake.

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?



Dont forget to show some love to GOSH Arabia social media accounts, follow them for updates. Facebook and Instagram.

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.

*This post is not sponsored and I bought all of these with my own money.



Are you excited to try these?

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.

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:
