Happy New 2O15 and Personal Update ❤

Hi again friends, (This post can be quite personal: Stated in title )

I have been slacking a bit on my blog but ofcourse, I will never neglect it. I have been catching up with a lot of things in preparation for my university course again since I am going to another university studying a more serious degree. I got so much priorities to sort out and sometimes, it's making me so stressed, haha. But I do try and make myself have a breathe-r and relax from time to time. I also, got employed in Debenhams as a temporary restaurant assistant to save up and build more experience for my resume. How fun. It was definitely a good experience and they have a really good working team. I had my drama from time to time there, but I am glad that I have finished my contract thus, saving me from actually quitting lol. I'm proud of myself.

I have accumulated a lot of products to review for my blog and I cannot wait to share it with you all. There are just a few products that weren't working for me properly but the rest are just -- well they changed my life and made me love makeup even more. Lets just put it that way.

I haven't been watching a lot of Youtube Guru's lately since I have soo much to catch up on. However, I do visit my asian friends Youtube channels as well as other blogs. I guess, it is easier if you just find a blog post that is solely dedicated to a product you are looking to purchase or know.

Back a couple of blogposts ago, I have listed a few topics that I will be covering but, unfortunately some cannot be continued. I have now marked those blog post with an indication of (X).

List of blogposts:
  1. Contouring & Highlighting -- Products and Demo
  2. Hair Update -- Colouring, Caring & Products
  3. Arabian Inspired Makeup Looks 
  4. Favourite Highlighters -- Dupes (3 Seperate Posts via undertones)
  5. Review on Desio Lens (Desio VS Geo Lens Yes Style) 
  6. Vlogs.

Thank you for keeping up with me,
I am very grateful that you have the time to read this.

Love y'all,

They are beautiful when worn appropriately and If it suits a makeup look.

-Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes, I have read from different makeup articles and even MUA's have suggested it. But I am a badass, It's really quite expensive to throw away makeup that you rarely use especially, if its high end.

I use the Benefit Porefessional and Max Factor CC Cream

MAC E/S in Rule and the Becca Ombre Nudes Eye Palette

I use liquid eyeliner all the time compared with pencil.

Love them! Whats the point on buying eyeshadows that is not even pigmented? waste of money.

Yes, but only to seek for better makeup tools.

Nope. 

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
Some say that I look better without it but they haven't really seen me without makeup. So, no. Haha.

-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?
Oh, this is a hard question. In no order, RCMA, Sleek, Tom Ford, Nars, MAC, and Dior. 

-What do you think of Makeup??
I'm a firm believer that makeup is not supposed to be used as a mask but as a product that should emphasise our features in which makes us beautiful and can define us to be a true breathtaking masterpiece

Recent Beauty Haul ❤


Hi guys, I just really want to share with you all my beauty haul for this month. I have not been keeping with my promises lately of not buying more makeup but what can I do If I just recently found out that such product was just recently released and labeled as limited edition? Ofcourse, I have to get it. These products shown in the picture are the things I have purchased recently that are still quite new for me.

Products listed:

Prize Range: £4.99
I bought this to see If my hair would get to a lighter blonde and If it will be as good as the Garnier Pre-lightener.

Prize Range: £7.99
I bought this because of Shaye Ocampo's review on this palette and I also fell in love with the whole idea of it. I love arabian makeup. 

Prize Range: £15.00
I bought a new black eyeliner since I could not find my Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in #01 Noir Black. :(* sad times

Prize Range: £37.00
When I saw this in Boots a few days ago, I fell in love with it straight away. I asked the retail assistant If they have any in stock since it just came out that very day. She said that the brush was out of stock even when I checked online. After minutes of research, on where I could find this glorious brush. I saw Selfridges have them in stock. I splurged straight into getting the brush and needless to say, I am so impressed and excited to use it and share with you all my experience with using this brush :D 

Prize Range: £3.33 / £4.99
 I've heard a lot of good things about this product; I can't wait to use it and share with you all my experience again with this product. 

- The other two sample products are from my Selfridges order. I will do a review of them soon enough in another blog post :)

Thanks guys for having the patience and time to read this post. I will definitely try and update my blog as much as I can. 

Love y'alllll,
