Favorite Body Sprays !

Hello Beauties !

We are in the middle of the summer , i thought to myself everyone wants to smell nice and fresh , why not write a post to review 3 body sprays from 3 different companies .

The products that i'll be reviewing are :

- Victoria secret's Coconut and Vanilla spray ( from the old collection)
- The body shop's Indian Jasmine
- Bath and body work's Sweet peach

We all know that Victoria Secret's range is very diversified ,i opted for coconut vanilla and freesia and i love both of them
.. what i love most is that the scent is not fake nor artificial ,it's indulging and yummi :D , what i noticed is that the scent is long lasting especially with stronger ones like vanilla . I use both of them alternatively , i use the freesia one all year around and the coconut vanilla during winter time since it's a bit concentrated.

My second favorite is the Body Shop's indian jasmine , it's a recent discovery and i'm in love ! The scent is not strong nor subtle it offers the right intensity , the best part is that these sprays are true to their name they smell so good , the only downside is that they're not as long lasting as the victoria secret's ones.

The last favorite is the bath and body work's "pretty as a peach" , i don't think that it can compete with the previous ones , as it is not long lasting and the scents tend to be a little bit artificial, but still it's a descent budget friendly body spray.

Well as you can tell my top favorites are the victoria secrets' and the body shop's , i highly recommend them , however if you're on a budget give the bath and body work's one a try , you might like it :) .

Review : L'oreal Liss Keratin Extreme /Shampoo and Oil replacement

Hello beauties & Ramadan Kareem !


Today's post is going to be a little bit different ,i'm reviewing a hair product as you can tell from the title .

Now with hair care i'm very careful and i tend to stay away from products that may dry out my hair , which is exactly what happened to me while using this product !

I had high hopes for it , in fact one of my friends recommended it and i thought to myself why not . Even though i have a bad history with all L'Oreal shampoos , it's either they dry the heck out of my hair and they leave it lifeless and straw-like or they cause dandruff :/

And guess what i ended up adding this product to my long bad history with L'oreal Shampoos , I used it twice just to make sure that this is not the right product for me .

It dried out my hair so badly , that it was so hard for me to detangle it  , there was no added value , no moisture , no shininess,no smoothness .

Bottom line , if you don't have oily hair stay away from this product .It'll dry out your hair so badly , the oil replacement is full of chemicals too it dried out my ends .

It took me a lot of homemade masks and lot of care to take my hair back to its previous state .

On a brighter note, what i would highly recommend if you want to bring moisture back to your hair and make it smooth and shiny is the Dessange extreme 3 huiles , for me this is the best shampoo and conditioner of all time :)

There we go , i hope this post was useful !


Have a Magical day  xoxo ;)

Spring time Skincare routine ! Dry/Combo skin 🌺

Hello Beauties 🌺!

Today's post is about the products i use when the weather gets warmer , i try to keep it as simple and affordable as possible :) !

I have dry skin during winter , when it gets warmer it becomes dry/combo which means that on my cheeks and forehead i'm dry but on my nose and chin i'm oily . I've struggles during the past years to find the right products for each time of the year until i settled on these products .I've already reviewed in previous posts most of the products so i'm only going to review the new ones.

My holy grail face wash that i use both in the morning and at night is the Aloe Vera foam face wash for sensitive skin . It is quite affordable it lasts for a long time and it's very gentle on the skin which always a plus if you have sensitive skin ! I use it along with the day moisturizer which is divine , very light but at the same time moisturizing  .
To remove my make up i use the Garnier micellar water which replaced my Bioderma , but i'm very happy with it ,i can't see any difference and it's way cheaper which is always a good thing . It takes off my face makeup and my eye makeup without any struggles . I highly recommend it !

Now at night time before i apply my face oil , which is organic sweet almond oil , i apply a face serum that is the Lierac Hydra-Chrono Serum which is supposed to quench the thirst of very dry skin , and a i love it , the smell is amazing , it absorbs quickly and in the next morning i can tell that my skin is plumped and hydrated.

Last but not least are face masks , which is something new to me i used to skip this step , but now i'm hooked i've been using sheet masks from Korean brands and they're just divine , this one in particular is very hydrating and it has rose petals in it which is quite luxurious , my skin feels amazing after applying it .

The last product is a mask/scrub from Freeman it's a black sugar and charcoal combination , i only use it once a week on my T zone , it does a great job in smoothing the area , i don't apply it all over my face it can be drying and or people with very sensitive skin it can be quite rough since it has sugar in it .


That is all for my current skincare routing , i like to keep it very simple and efficient at the same time . Of course none of these products would be enough if i don't protect my skin from sun with SPF , i use the Uriage bariésun which is perfect ,it does not make my skin dry nor oily !


Hope you find this post helpful if you have similar skin type as mine .

Have a happy day !

2016 Beauty Favorites +2016 Reflection ! Happy New Year 🎆 🎆 🎆

Hello Beauties ! I'm Writing this post in the last day of 2016 , what a ride ! This year in particular went by so quickly , i'm still grasping that 2017 is starting in a few hours .

2016 brought a lot of new challenges , new experiences , new life lessons, got hurt , fell on the ground and picked myself up, I learned so many things , i jumped out of my comfort zone and it felt so good , made new friends , achieved goals . As every year it has its ups and downs .

Now 2017 is almost here , i'm very positive about it bringing so many fresh starts , beautiful things and new Goals :) .

I hope that this year will bring beautiful things to your lives <3 .

Moving on to this years beauty favorites , these are products that i used and loved religiously during this year .

Eyes products :

Let's start of with the Obvious , i have two eye-shadow palettes that i have been using constantly during this year , it's the NAKED 2 and the SMOKEY one from the Urban Decay along with the eye primer .
We all know that urban decay palettes are good , however there is one downside , the shimmery shades need a wet brush to be applied with to avoid fall outs .

I've been using two eyeliners , one is a pencil liner the RIMMEL scandal eyes in "black", great  product , i have watery eyes by nature so it's really hard for me to find a decent pencil that won't smudge , this is one is good it lasts for a fair amount of time without smudging .
The second one which is a recent buy , it's the Bourjois Slim Eyeliner . Great Great Great product , i can't rave enough about it , it lasts for a the whole day , easy to use , super precise Aaaaaaand i have hooded eyes , if it lasts for me it will last for you !

One of the eye shades that i use for years now in black i also use it under my lower lash line is the color tattoo from maybelline in black , long lasting , they do dry up easily but nothing that
i like warm water or steam can't solve , again affordable and great product.

For eyebrows the only powder that i use from time to time to fill in any gaps if i have any is an eyehadow from Catrice in "Go charlie brown" .

Mascara wise i loved using the Telescopic in Carbon black , best Mascara that i used since the Jordana Best Lash Extreme .

Face products :

I don't use foundations that often  , the only one that i use when i apply it is the Fit me in the dewy finish formula , It glides on like a dream , hydrating , natural finish , not long lasting though .

Concealers my holy holy grail of all times is the Fit  me concealer , i use the shade 20 which has a yellow undertone ,very natural does not crease or cake up underneath the eye .
Another one which is great for Highlighting the best that i have ever used so far , great price and quality report .

The only blushes that i used this year is this cheap palette from ELF in 'light" it's perfect , the quality is easily comparable to high end makeup , and the colors selection is great too.

And the star of the face products so far is the this Wonderrrrrrrfuuuuuuul highlighter from the Balm in the shade Mary-Loumanizer , very natural smooth and finely mild .

For bronzer , the only one that i used this year is the Body shop honey bronzer , great selection for people with fair skin , very finely mild and natural .

For contouring the best one so far is the BAHAMA MAMA from the balm , great great product , it has a neutral undertone and it's very finely and it blends easily .

Lips :

The best finds for 2016 for me are Nyx lip butters and soft matte creams , Amazing , Amazing , it smells like cake butter they glide on easily , very comfortable to wear but they're not long lasting .

Favorite lip balm of the year is Carmex , cheap does its job and the hydration is long lasting.

Body Mists : 

The best ones , long lasting and the selection is very wide are hands down the Victoria secrets body sprays i have the Freesia based one and the Coconut Vanilla one , they smell heavenly .


This pretty much sums up my beauty favorites for 2016 , cannot wait to try new products next year .

I wish all a Happy and Blessed new year .

Have a Magical Year ,


Love .

THE BODY SHOP ALOE VERA LINE + A COUPLE OF FAVORITES/REVIEWS !

Hello Beauties !

Today i'll be reviewing some of the new launches of the Body Shop , The Stars of the post are :

-The ALOE calming Wash (sensitive skin)

-The ALOE eye defense moisturizing cream gel.

-The Soothing day cream .

- The Hemp Heavy-Duty lip balm for very dry lips .

-The Coconut Body Butter

Let's start with the face wash , it's foaming wash, fragrance-free , colourant-free, preservant-free,Alcohol free . It's a dream coming true for people who have sensitive skin like me , when i spot it in store i couldn't resist . I mainly use it in the morning since it's very gentle and i double cleanse with it at night when i'm wearing makeup .

This product gets two thumbs up for me ! it's very easy to use , gets rid of any dirt or oils on the face , however i don't recommend using this  on its on when you're wearing a lot of makeup i don't believe it will do the job of deep cleansing , but as a nice everyday wash it does a great job !


Then i got the daytime moisturizer , this is my fourth time purchasing it . My sister used to use it , i tried it once and i loved it . It's a fuss free moisturizer , again friendly for everyday use . I use it both in the morning after the face wash , at night however since it's winter time and i have dry skin to start with , i mix it with almond oil and it's a terrific combinaison .

The eye gel cream was a product that i got in Summer , and as you can see i still haven't used it , and there is a good reason for that ! The product has a very thin consistency and whenever i apply it under my eyes i find that it takes the moisture away , it makes my under eye area dry somehow . Overall if you have a greasy under eye this may work for you , but people with dry skin , stay away from it .


Moving on to the lip balm , this used to be my favorite lip balm (i have very very dry lips) until my friend introduced me to Carmex ! and i fell in love with it even more . Now Carmex provides longevity your lips stay moisturized for a long time , the Hemp lip balm however does not provide that , it's moisturizing don't get me wrong , but i don't find it a Heavy-Duty lip care like they described it .


The last product that i'll be reviewing is the body butter , now we all agree that the body butters from the Body Shop are Amazing , there isn't much for me to say apart from that the coconut's smell is Divine , i also tried the Mango one , it's my favorite very moisturizing and the smell is just great .


I hope that you find these reviews useful .


Have a Magical Day :)

Mini Beauty Haul+Reviews !

Hello Beauties , hope you're doing fine :) . Today's post's going to be a Mini haul of a few products that i got these last few days and that i have been loving so i thought i would share them with you and review the ones that i have used already , Enjoy ! 

From left to right : Essence soo glow !(cream to powder highlighter , Deborah Milano blush in Cacao ,Rimmel lasting finish 25 hours foundation in 100 Ivory , Catrice light reflecting pen in 020 light beige , Garnier BB cream roll-on , Maybelline's color tattoo's in timeless black and eternal gold, Essence long lasting eye pencil's in 02 (Hot chocolate) and 020 (lucky lead) ,Jordana's best lash extreme volume mascara , Essence XXL lip gloss in Coral delight , Deobarah milano single eyeshadows in shades ( 14,08,05).

Alrighty let's start with reviewing some of the products the ones that i have already used  , as you can tell all products are drugstore brands as this is my ultimate goal find products that are affordable but still perform as high end products . 

The first product that i'm going to review is the Best Lash mascara from Jordana , This is by far the best mascara that i have ever used ! it literally beats the high ends ones and the drugstore ones , it

 provides me with everything that i need in a mascara it provides volume length , it holds a curl it does not smudge nor flake , i wore this for a 12 hours and it did not move this is how great it is , and for the price you can't beat it ! 

Next are the essence products let's start with the long lasting eye pencils , in one word they are a better version than le stylo waterproof from Chanel , OMG i have already purchased two back up eye pencils , they are creamy easily blendable and the best part is that they last on me the whole day without fading or smudging ! The lip gloss though was not what i expected the colour is nice but i need to apply a lip balm underneath as it is very sticky and not that long lasting . I only swatched the soo glow highlighter but i'm going to update you on it .

The color tattoos from Maybelline , i don't even need to review them we all know that they are great products :) 

Now concealers , i bought the BB concealer from Maybelline i only use it for color correcting as the light shade is quite "orange-y" so what i do is i apply it before my foundation to color correct and then i apply the fit me concealer and i add a touch o light with the Catrice light reflecting pen which is amazing ! 

Last but not least are the eye shadows , this is a new brand that i have never heard of and decided to try out , well guess what i'm amazed by the quality , the brand's called Deborah Milano it's an Italian brand . the eye shadows are fairly comparable to the Urban decay quality , so pigmented buttery and the best part is that they last on my eyelids the whoooole day which is quite a thing for me as i have hooded eyes , can't wait to try out other shades !

I'll update you about the foundation , highlighter and the blush in another post :) 

Well there you go , if you have any questions about the products listed above i'll answer them gladly :) 

Have a Magical Day ! Much Love .

Update : The deborah Milano blush is promoted as a blush but it didn't work out for me , i ended up using it as a bronzer and i love it ! 

Rimmel 25 Hours finish foundation ,let's just say that the product is very sticky i always need to mix it with a bit of moisturizer but that doesn't solve the problem , it's very hard to blend with a brush , fingers, i would suggest a beauty blender or a sponge .

Current skincare favorites/ Review !

Hello beauties , i know that my last post was about my summer skincare routine but the products that i'm going to mention are so good that they deserved to be featured on a separate post .

Recently i run out of my beloved eye cream which is the Sebamed anti-aging cream and my Bioderma light moisturizer ,so i decided to try something new , i went with "Uriage aqua précis gel défatiguant yeux" as well as the Neutrogena pink grapefruit oil-free moisturizer ,and Oh my god i fell in love ! Let's start with the reviews :

Uriage aqua précis gel défatiguant yeux

The product comes in a sleek blue packaging which i love it reminds me of summer and the freshness that water can provide , anyways ! It has a gel consistency perfect for summer time (I have dry skin and during summer i like to keep my skin care very light so that i don't clog my pores and i don't end up oily by the end of the day) , i keep it in the fridge and i apply it twice a day before my moisturizer i find it to be very refreshing and energizing and the most important part is that it provides the right amount of moisture perfect as a concealer base ! I highly recommend it for summer time it is a very nice product .

Neutrogena pink grapefruit oil-free moisturizer

To be honest i picked this product up for its pink packaging and its divine smell haha but the product itself is as good as the packaging , it has the right consistency and again it provides the right amount of moisture without making the face feel greasy , also it provides a very refreshing feeling on the skin (Perfect for those HOT summer mornings!) I find it to be so light that it can be convenient for all skin types :) also you can't go wrong with the price !

Swatched: Right :Acqua precis  /Left: Neutrogena

There we go ! hope you found these reviews useful :)
Have a magical day !
