Bling Brow By Benefit

Hi everyone!

Two weeks ago I attended a launch event for the new 'Bling Brow' from Benefit. I'm a big fan of Benefit cosmetics, so it was very exciting to see their new product! Jared Bailey, a brow expert from Benefit, presented the product and gave some great brow tips! He is amazing!

Bling Brow is a beautiful set of Swarovski crystals for your brows to add an instant glamour to your look. I have to say I'm in love! Being such a huge Swarovski fan this is just a perfect combo for me!

The set comes with 52 crystals in two colours and three different sizes, so you can customise your look. I like wearing 3 crystals on each side, as I like the drama!, but you can either wear it just on one side or go even more crazy! I would definitely rock this for a night out! 
It can transform any look and it gives a bold statement. Here in Dubai everyone loves to be glamorous so it's just perfect! 

There is also different colours to chose from depending on your look and makeup. My box came with rose gold and greige, and I'm wearing the rose gold on the pictures. I'm probably going to get other colours when it hits the stores! It's also very easy to apply and it has self adhesive glue that is very strong and can hold the crystals for a long time.

Benefit have such creativity when it comes to their products and their packaging. I mean how cute is that box! I adore it!
Overall I think this is such a cool and glamorous product - definitely worth a try!

Short 'n' Sweet

Hi everyone!

Today's outfit of the day is a very feminine and sweet look. Pink is not my favourite colour but this skirt is just too pretty not to like it! I got it quite a while ago so I'm not sure if you can still find it in store, but this was a great buy for such an affordable price! and the quality is amazing too. 

I decided to pair this skirt with a simple white blouse for a more sophisticated look, but it can also look great with a t-shirt or a simple vest. 
For my accessories I wore my new bag from Michael Kors. I love white!,so this bag was an absolute must for me and it has gold hardware! I love it! - and I added some simple gold sandals.
I also painted my nails pink to match with the skirt and I used OPI nail polish in ''sorry i'm fizzy today'' such a perfect pink!

Best Full Coverage / Long Lasting Foundation

Hi everyone! 

I'm a huge foundation fan! I think that it's one of the most important products when it comes to makeup. I love trying new foundations and seeing what works best for me.
I wanted to try the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation for a really long time because I've heard a lot of good things about it! - I was just always lazy to find my colour. 
Anyway while I was in UK, I finally got it! and I'm so happy I did! This must be the best full covarege and long lasting foundation out there! I couldn't belive how long it stayed! I usually have to touch up throughout the day, especially when I'm here in Dubai, as it's crazy hot and my foundation tends to be running down my face!! 
This foundation claims to have 15 hours staying power and I totally agree. It actually stayed longer than that! Coverage on this foundation is absolutely amazing, and you can build it up without looking too cakey. When I wear this foundation my face is so flawless and all the imperfections are covered. I just want to use it everyday! although I mostly wear it on a night out, or when I go somewhere for a full day. 
This foundation has a semi matte finish which is perfect for me as I have an oily T-zone. It blends very well and it looks quite natural considering how full coverage it is! - and it looks great on photos!

It has 10 SPF which is great for the day! I also like the fact that is oil free as well as fragrance free, so it's perfect for sensitive skin. 

Over all I highly highly recommend trying it out! If you have problematic skin and need that good coverage and staying power, then this is the one! I still love my Chanel and Dior foundations, but this one is just on another level! 
The shade selection is also amazing! I believe there are 31 different shades, so I'm sure there is something for everyone. My shade is 2C1 pure beige. 

I know I'm quite late raving about this product! and I'm sure lots of you already know how good it is!, but I just had to share with you all, my absolute favourite foundation at the moment and the one that I can not live without! - that's for sure!

Thanks for checking.

Afternoon Tee

Hi everyone!

I wanted to show you how I paired up these two brand new items in my closet! - this lovely satin nude skirt and this very 'girly' t-shirt that I got from Dead Legacy. I hope you agree that looked great together! 

I really love midi skirts!, they are very sophisticated and stylish. This skirt from River Island is just perfection! I absolutely love the nude colour and the silky fabric. It is just so chic!
To match up with my skirt, I wore my nude Louboutins and my rose gold bag.

Calvin Klein Reveal Perfume - Review

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to review a new fragrance from Calvin Klein. I really love perfumes, so when I saw that Calvin Klein had launched a new fragrance : ''Reveal'', I knew I had to try it! 
I love the bottle it's very original, but most of all I love the smell! It is very unique, slightly masculine, but very sexy!

I would describe it as a very sensual, musky oriental scent. The composition of this perfume includes salt accords, white and black pepper at the top blend, with the heart of powdery iris and also ambergris. Rich sandalwood gives this fragrance its signature and constructs it's base along with cashmere and musk. 

I think this perfume is great for fall and winter season as it has that musky sent that people tend to associate with that time of the year! I would say it's long lasting, but not to the point where the smell is so intense that it can give you a headache! (I can often get headaches from strong smells!)

Thank you for checking.

The Dolce Vita Look

Hi everyone!

While I was in the UK recently I got this amazing palette from Charlotte Tilbury. I have wanted to try her makeup for a really long time! Today I created this very easy smokey look, perfect for the fall season and winter time using the Dolce Vita palette. This palette was the one that I wanted the most! It has such beautiful colours that look really great with green eyes. The colours are very pigmented and the quality is amazing. My camera didn't pick up the colours very well, but in real life it looked very pretty!

I love looks like this, they are perfect for a night out and they make your eyes very sultry. To keep this look on a more natural side, I used nude lipstick, but you can rock this with a red lip too and it looks absolutely amazing!

Dress to Impress!

Hi everyone!

Today I have an OOTD that I wore at the weekend. I haven't featured a dress here on my blog for a while, as I was wearing so many pencil skirts and shorts! But I love dresses like this, they are great for the hot weather and easy to style. 
With my obsession for black and white I recently got this Charles and Keith bag. I'm so obsessed with it, it's very affordable, great quality and soo cute! Charles and Keith bags are getting better and better. I love them! 

To match with the bag I wore my favourite heels, that you can clearly see from my posts I've been wearing non stop and my black Ray Bans.

Thanks for checking.

Pure Simplicity

I like my style to be quite simple sometimes. I love feeling comfortable but at the same time still looking sexy!

To keep my outfit neutral, I wore my classy nude pointy heels and one of my favourite bags.

This look is perfect for those casual running errands days!

I've been soo obsessed with highlighters recently! I just love having highlighted cheek bones. I'm not a fan of deewy skin because I'm quite oily, but I love the beautiful glow on the cheeks.

On The Bridge

Hi everyone!

You may have seen this featured crop top on my blog recently, but I love it so much I just had to feature it again! 
Here I wore it with this lovely pencil skirt that I've had for a very long time in my closet and I still adore it! I thought it worked really well with this crop top and to keep this black and white theme complete!, I used this cute little black and white clutch! You don't often see me using clutch bags, but this one matched up so perfectly!
To keep it classy (as I always like to do!) I wore one of my favorite pairs of heels at the moment ;)

Fashion Forward OOTD

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I went to the second day of the Fashion Forward event here in Dubai and I thought I'd share with you my outfit ;) 
I picked up this new yellow top from Eschel boutique. It's a bandage style crop top which looks great with so many different looks! - from pencil skirts to high waisted jeans. Here I paired it with a black skater skirt, black pointy heels and my gun bag.
It was a great choice for a long hot day and these heels are truly one of the most comfortable ones I own, so it was perfect for all day walking around!

Tangerine

Hi everyone!

As you all know I love bright colours, so I decided to put together this simple yet classy outfit featuring bright tangerine / orange.

I got these zara trousers quite some time ago, but I wasn't sure about them at first. They are very tight and obviously very bright! But I actually really like them now!
I paired them with a nude blazer, nude pumps and an orange bag to match. With bright colours I love to add neutral shades, as you can never go wrong with them.

This outfit is great to wear in the day. I wore it to go for a late weekend breakfast at the mall, followed by some shopping!
