Dubai Haul | Topshop, Sephora, Boots, etc…

So I have realized that I have never done a haul post before which I was surprised to find out, and since I was in Dubai and went a little overboard on the shopping and I justified it by telling myself that everything was on sale and that I had to get it.

Warning: this is going to be long.

January Favorites

hello everyone x hope you're all well x so today's post is basically what i have been loving through January

 BEAUTY

                                      -Revlon lip butter in Red Velvet:

now last year and till now everyone was freaking about the revlon lip butters, and i can see why. they're like the most perfect thing ever. most of the collection is pinks but i thank god i found a deep red( shocking). i've been basically wearing this every time i got out. it's a lovely product and revlon in general is a really nice brand lips wise, haven't tried and of their foundations.. anyways!

                                               -Alverde lip pencil in 15:
i bet you're so confused now and you probably haven't heard of the brand, prepare to to be shocked. neither have i, all i know is my sister picked it up from dm while she was in Germany or muller  i don't know man. but the color of it is just ahhh! it a perfect match for the revlon lip butter. i think its like 2 euros? but its so cheap and it's really nice actually.

                                            -Sally Hansen in Flirt 210:
typical purple for winter, such a lovely color, has a really nice shine to it without a topcoat. i am a massive fan of sally Hansen nail polishes, i find they don't chip fast and they last you forever, and they're perfect for your budget. they have a really nice range of colors by the way,  if you're into weird colors this is for you.

                 -Catrice Ulti Matte nudes in Don't Tell me Mademoiselle!
  the name of this. i can't even. like honestly the name suits this perfectly, this is like the perfect nude color only classy flirty ladies would wear. honestly i feel like chanel when i'm wearing this. anyways it's a lovely product and i'm a fan of catrice in general but i just love their nail polishes and this by far is my favorite one.

 FASHION

Clothing wise, I choose my ae parka, I basically have been living it it, it keeps you warm and from the inside it's all furry and soft and the hat has fur lining I mean what who can resist and it was like 70% for their seasons sale and it was the last one AND IT WAS MY SIZE WHAT I mean what are the odds. I really do like this and it's such nice quality and I think it's worth every penny spent on it.

\

And for boots I just had to go with my hm ankle booties, again I've been living in this and my parka. I love these so much I think they're perfect basically for everything and they're such nice quality, for hm this is such a bargain lt was only like 30-40 iesh can't quite remember.

 RANDOMS

                                          -My Rayban Sunnies:
i got these recently for my birthday from my parents and they (both) have been the love of my life, i think these are the avatars, i'm sorry i don't know what their name is and i can't find them anywhere. but anyways, who doesn't like rayban sunnies?! i think this practically suits me or like people with big  noses because i kid you not, they make your nose like slimmer which is what i look for in life.
(ohh heeeey you can see on the lens me hah)

                                            -Natural Looks body spray in STAR:
now usually i never go in natural looks (and i didn't hah). but i got this as a gift for my birthday, it came with a body lotion which also was nice but it wasn't my favorite, anyways this smells absolutely amazing, i have no idea why i was fooled by the look of the store (because to be honest it doesn't look that appealing) but if their body sprays smells close to this one i will definitely pay them a visit and maybe do a bit of damage to my savings!

-Bath and Body Works Candles in Cranberry Woods and Nutmeg and Spice:

your typical winter candles, love these so much, i have been burning them like everyday since i bought them. bbw has its seasons sale now and you can't resist a great bargain can't you? (i bought like 5 more)

Really random stuff wise, um I've been loving iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks, ahh so good! But I'm so gutted they don't have the nutmeg spice and gingerbread latte anymore! Anyways, music wise I've been obsessing over indie/rock kind of type/theme, that kind of jazz, I AM IN LOVE WITH 30 SECONDS TO MARS, the are absolutely brilliant. It's just weird that I'm obsessing over a 42 year old and the problem is he doesn't even look like a 30 year old man he even looks younger! My favorite song so far has gotta be do or die and city of angels  ridiculous lyrics, just amazing.

Anyways they're so incredibly talented and I really hope  I can go to a concert someday. And another band I have been really, really obsessing over with is the 1975, their single chocolate  is just perfect, and they're hot, badass British boys with tattoos. and the single sex is just amazing to be honest, also girls is really nice. Who can resist them? But aside that they are full of talent and I can see that they have a big road full of success ahead of them. sweater weather- the neighbourhood  is just brilliant...

And that's it you guys these are the things I have been obsessing over lately! 

Much love Always,xxx

My Go To Items

Hello lovelies!xxx
So today I'll be sharing my favorite/most used make up products x

** I know that there is an exact same post but this is my personal opinion and I really wanted to share with you guys what I have been using pretty much everyday! 

  Catrice blush tint in 010 Flush Rose (perfect dupe for benetint)

  Eblien's brush (I use this for bronzer)

  Sephora's matte mineral bronzer in mat tan 39

  Garnier's BB cream in light/claire

  Garnier's roll on Concealer 

  Givenchy's Blush (limited edition)

  Chanel's lipstick in Gènie 52

  Miss sporty studio lash mascara in black

  Benefits high brow in liner pink 

  Dior's blackout show mascara 

 My make up routine: ( this Is not my everyday makeup routine, but it is similar!)

First I apply the bb cream all over my face and blend it in using my fingers, I tried using the brush but it didn't work out because the texture of this bbm cream is more creamy, it's basically a skin colored cream. Then I conceal my horrid black bags under my eyes, blemishes.. Etc. usually I don't powder because my skin's combination isn't that oily so I carry on with my bronzer(first I complete my skin make) I go for a whole light bronzed face, first the checkbones, a tiny bit on my forehead, down my nose, a bit on my chin, and make sure you're light handed because the sephora bronzer is super matte and pigmented. Then I use my liquid blusher and just dot a few dots (hah) and just lightly blend it in with my fingers. And to set it I use my Givenchy bronzer/blusher, it's a mix of 3 colors: a gorgeous light shimmery pink/ a very light browny-ish color/ and the dark brown. I just apply all if them to the apple's of my checks to set the blush tint and to give it a light shimmery pink finish. I usually fill my brows with any brown color really, usually my nyx cake powder, using an eyebrow brush I just lightly dab the brush in the shadow and just pass the brush throw my brows to give them that nature full effect. Then I use my benefits high brow pen which is my favorite product of all time, such a gorgeous light link color, it highlights my brows perfectly just to make them pop a bit more, and I sometimes put it in my inner corner. for mascara I honestly couldn't decide which one I like best because I usually apply both of them because they honestly complete each other. And at last for lips, I use my perfect lipstick, Chanel's lipstick in 52 which is a gorgeous light nude pink.

Much Love always xxx

Back to Black | Nail Polish of The Week

hello dollies, how have you guys been?xo
so today's post is another nail polish of the week post, well because i've just finished my exams and i felt like painting mine and i did a great job to be honest! not to brag or anything.. (cough*cough)
anyways!

flormar in40
                                               modelsown in mixedup                                              

It's that time of year again where i only wear black and red on my nails. i love these together, i think they compliment any skin tone in the cold weather. but the flormar one needs more than one layer though. here i have 3 layers on. but again what i love about flormar is that it stays on so long, the brush is just amazing and the shine i just lovely. and by the way, you have no idea how much i love modelsown nail polishes. i think they're the best brand for nail polishes and brushes actually, i have their starter set i think? well its neon orange and they're lovely.
and by the way you guys, do you like our new theme? i think i like it better than the old one. it just reflects our personalities better.

Much Love Always.xxxx
