❀ ❋ ❀ ❋ 5 lipsticks, 5 holy grails ❀ ❋ ❀ ❋

Hey,
As promised the post today is gonna be about my 5 holygrail lipsticks.

For me lipsticks are the most important step in a makeup ( that is why I never leave my house without at least having 2 lipsticks & 1 lipbalm in my bag ).

The way I see it your makeup ( meaning : foundation, mascara, blush, eyeliner )can look the same but the minute you change the color and type of lipstick  then you better watch out coz there is a new women in town :p

- My 5 favorite lipsticks  -

The 5 lipsticks that I repurchased over & over again , without fail.

rouge à lèvres -AVON- smooth plum

                 

  

 Just like the name says , this is a plum color with a hint of pink in it . 

matt but does have a tiny bit of shine  ,especially if you are outdoors .

color suitable for fall or /even winter but in my case I've been using it non-stop during spring ;) 

(don't judge , like I said before ,I'm a lipstickjunkie)

Ral -Bourjois- 14

Bourjouisssssssss I love this brand from their foundations to their nail polishes .

 Good quality,  good presentation & an affordable price ($$$$$) .

The lipstick  is from their Rouge edition range , so far I've only seen 18 shades ( but I do believe there are more colors  ).

 They named it prune , but for some reason on my lips it looks more light red (maybe because I'm dark skinned, dark colors tend to look lighter .)

Anyhow , this brand is famous on it's own since 1863 ( my mother was obsessed with it  back in the day ) so no need  for blah blah.

If you haven't tried it yet, go for it * I demand it of you :) *
Ohhhhh, it also lasts all day .

RAL -Sisley- sheer toffee

 I found this lipstick by chance while doing some errands (what a happy day that was.)

The packaging is very classy and sturdy (as you can see) although I hate the engraving on the lid.

Just as the name shows this is a toffee color but very very sheer on the lips . It almost looks , like a tinted lipbalm. 

The lipstick hydrates and gives a little bit of color to the lips (but unlike the two lipsticks above it doesn't last the whole day , probably for about 2 to 3 hours ).

 

RAL -Avon- loving lilac

Another lipstick by avon ( don't look at me like I happen to love their makeup products).

As you can see this is a well loved lipstick , used it every day during winter for about 3 months.

Of course this comes in different shades , but I picked this one coz it suits my skin tone the best.

the color is very lilacy ( can't think of a better description.  You know what they say a picture is worth a thousand words. )

Goes smoothly on the lips & lasts for a very long time .

 

RAL -Avon- Wandering rose

This is a lipstick that I found chez Avon in their spring edition ( 3 colors came out , I picked two ).

Wandering rose is a very light pink shade, the moment you see it, spring comes to mind.

It's a rosy color with a hint of peach to it , I personally love it .

 5 lipsticks , 5 holy grails.

Hope you guys liked the post.

PS: never forget to wear a lipbalm under your lipstick no matter how moisutrizing it is .

xoxoxoxoxox

Have you ever tried any of the lipsticks mentioned above?

What are your holygrails ?

❤ ❤ Favorite foaming Gel. ❤ ❤

 Hola;

So today, I'm gonna show you guys my favorite foaming gel ( for the moment, beauty can be so fickle sometimes) .
 As you all know cleansing the face twice a day is a really important step, it may seem insignificant some days ( for example when you arrive home at 11 pm , the only think that you can think of is, discarding your clothes & hiting the sack ;) ). But I can assure you , & this comes from personal experience, that taking care of your skin on a daily basis helps keeping it free from imperfections, pimples........etc

For 2 years, I have been using Skining skin gel moussant sugras visage et corps. It was good but not great,  it claimed being suitable for all skin types.
 '' Hmm'' , not sure about that , coz it tends to dry out my skin ( I have oily skin) so if you want to try it (your skin better not be dry ).

Anyway , last june I couldn't find my regular foaming gel ( in stock),  so I took a chance and grabbed  Effaclar purifying foaming gel by la roche-posay. 

La roche-posay is a french brand. And it's famous for being one of the most amazing brands when it comes to skin care. {totally agree}

I've tried some of their products : foundation toleriane teint (honestly wasn't impressed with it , at all )   , powder, day cream ........

 


I bought the bigger bottle (400ml)  , coz my sister tends to use pretty much all my stuff  * rolling my eyes *  .
 + the price difference between the smaller size & the bigger one wasn't that huge ;)

As you can see it's blue , it's new but it's definitely not borrowed  hhh.

It's a gel *obviously*. (check the pictures under for a closer look).

Although this is a foaming gel , it doesn't lather that much , at least not like the skin gel used to.

My review: I do believe I found my GO-TO foaming gel (  until a new toy comes out   :D ).

 It feels amazing, smells amazing , cleanse my face pretty darn good & leaves it so smooth without drying my skin to the point where it feels like chalk. ( Do I make any sense ? )

 Describing this gel  in one word : AMAZING .

I will take a guess here and say that this one could be used by anyone . ( man, women, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, kids, teenagers.............etc)

My sister loves it , by the way.
Sister aka beautythief has dry skin. 

xoxoxoxoxo
see you guys soon.

PS: It would mean so much to me , if you could take 2 minutes of your time to either comment / subscribe . Or even both *winkwink*

What's your favorite cleansing gel?

Have you ever used Effaclar by La Roche-Posay ?

Finding the ONE : Review on TRESemmé products (shampoo+conditioner +mask)

 Ciao ,

Well ladies , as the title indicates . This is going to be my second review on my blog (yyyyayyyyy).

before I begin , let me start by saying that for the last 4 years my hair has been falling out a lot more than usual everywhere, and I literally mean everywhere : on the floor , on the food (while cooking it, & somehow my father always ends up finding it hhhhhh ;D ), on the Bed ..................etc. & it became so dryyyyyy , even with the use of hair treaments , oils ........ ( still NO change)

So for the first time in my 17 years , I began a scavenger hunt for {THE ONE}.

Like every beauty fanatic , I tried so many brands some of  them drugstore products others from La pharmacie (I honestly don't know It's name in english).

The  ones that I kept bying over & over again were ( ulta doux : avocado and shea butter, Kloréne , déssange ) , but unfortunately  they still didn't achieve my requirements for {THE ONE } spot.

I apologize for the long intro , but it couldn't be helped.

Now , for the actual REVIEW  ;)

TRESemmé (shampoo + conditioner + hair mask )

 Before you say anything , I'm fully aware that the shampoo + mask  don't go matchy matchy with the conditioner , but finding TRESemmé products in morocco is still a tricky process & they are  hard to find.

Shampoo ( Liso keratina);

• Packaging : plasic , simple , red ( looooove red ) and it's a 900 ml  bottle.
• Consistency : thick , creamy  and the color is not a regular white ( as we normaly find in shampoos ) , it's more of a light gold.
• Smell : really nice , It smells like a regular shampoo nothing extraordinary.
• Result :  the shampoo doesn't foam , at all. & that is why I ended up washing my hair twice ( btw one use is more than enough , coz it seems that's how it works ) . Left my hair smelling nice and feeling smooth (which is something , I haven't experienced in a long long time).
• Rating : 5 out of 5 :)

Conditioner (Thermal recovery);

• Packaging : Plastic , simple , White and it's also a 900 ml bottle.
• Consistency: thick , creamy and white ( pretty much similar to all conditioners)
• Smell : smells nice , nothing off-putting.
• Result : I apply it to my hair &  leave it for about 5 minutes. I wash my hair  and let me tell you it's a miracle. it makes my hair so shiny and smooth (even smother than the shampoo) 
• Rating : 5 flashing stars ;) 

Mask ( Liso keratina )

:

• Packaging : A plastic jar , colore Red.
• Consistency: Really thick and creamy .
• Smell: It's smells just like the shampoo since they are part of the same (gamme)
• Result : leave it for about 3 minutes, and then rince it out. To be honest , with the use of the shampoo and the conditioner , using the mask is not necessary but if you feel like pampering your hair , then go for it. 
• Rating: 5 out of 5 ★

As a conclusion, I do believe I just found my ONE ( it hydrates , smooth, and gives a shine to my hair)

;)

Ps: Would have loved posting some pics to show you guys the final result , but I wear a hijab . which means it's impossible .

Final words: If you could get your hands on these products , then don't hesitate . Totally recommend them.

What are your thoughts on the subject?
(pretty heavy huh) 

Get to know me ! the beauty blogger tag

HellO ladies ;
This morning while eating my breakfast, I was re-reading one of my favorite bloggers (briana) { i'll make sure to put a link down below of her blog, you really need to check it }
anywho, she had this interesting tag and I tought I'd enjoy writing it .

So here it goes;

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
I think it will be safe to say that my hair has a mind of it's own , sometimes it's  straight others it's just one big mess of tangles. 
I'm a mix of two races (  -my momma is white (her dad was dark skined / her mom was white ))
(my dad is dark skined ( his dad is white / his mom was dark skinned  ))
so as you can see , it's pretty much a 50/50 kind of thing.
but mostly , when I take good care of my hair it's smooth at the top &  really really curly at the ends.

2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
Dyed my hair only ONCE 7 years ago and that was it ( that time ,my aunt dyed my hair at home , & it turned pretty darn good )

3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?
I wear a hijab , but when I am home , I either keep it in a ponytail or a bun . (that's the extent of my talent :-)

4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
Never had a mani/pedi at a salon. I always do it by myself 
(not being cheap or anything , it's just something that I never had the time for )

5. How often do you change your nail polish?
My toes , I change every 2 weeks.
my nails , every  3 days.
   
6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just the summer?
It doesn't depend on the season , just my mood. ( being relaxed and happy makes you feel , like you could accomplish anything at the snap of a finger ) 

7. How long does it take for you to put on makeup?
I'd say about 15 minutes ,for normal days ( going to school, going out .......)
& for special occasions about an hour  .

8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Face. Like emily (emilynoel83) & briana said , once I feel like my face is set, my eyes can go.
It's called foundation for a reason .

9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
When it comes to foundation( in my case bb creams ), blush and powder . I buy them only when needed.
For lipsticks, mascaras and eyeliners,  these I definitely collect (hhhhhh)

10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Never , never , never, never (that's all I'm gonna say)

11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?
No , I rarely do a full face of make up . To me as long as I'm wearing a bb cream , a mascara and a lipstick ,  then I'm ready to conquer the world. 



  




12. Do you wear makeup when you’re home alone or with family? 
Sometimes. Again like I said before it depends on my mood .


13. Will you leave the house without makeup?
Pretty much  all the time , {especially when I'm running errands }.

14. How many high-end products do you have?
Do sunglasses count (hhhh )
NONE. Drugstore products are more than enough for me. 

15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you’re getting dressed?
Usually when I'm getting dressed. I'm very lazy when it comes to preparing ootd ( I'm a blouse, jeans ,flats kind a girl ).

16. How often do you change your handbag?
Every single day .

17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?
I’ll go to bed anywhere from 10:30 pm to midnight, depending on my schedule the next day. And I’ll wake up anywhere from 6 am to 7 am. ( PS : copied this from briana's blog , the only difference is the time)

18. How often or when do you workout?

Ok , I'll be honest here . Back in the day (aka 1year ago)  I used to run every sunday morning .
But lately not so much .
I know this may come as a shock but I'm super thin (metabolism).

19. Left handed or right handed?
Right handed.

20. How tall are you?
I have no idea (my dad is 1m76 so I'm probably 1m74 )

21. Do you speak any foreign languages?
I live in morocco. So basically I speak arabic , french  and english (obviously) .
but what I 'd really like to learn is Italian and spanich (I find them so sexy)

22. How many pets do you have?
None.  (we do have fishes , but those are my dad's babies hhhh)

23. How often are you on Blogger?

Just started blogging . So will see.

24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?

If you take 1 minute of your time to leave me a comment , I'll make sure to read them all.

25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

A mental list.

26. How did you come up with your blog name?

I really can't remember. 

27. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?

Most of my pictures are from my samsung galaxy .

28. How often do you clean your house?

Every weekend. 

29. What’s your favorite color?

Red , coral and  light blue .

30. Do you swear?

Sometimes. 

31. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

 Going  to watch some youtube channels ( I'll post a list of my favorite youtubers  ).

 Prepare mon casse-croute à la marocaine  And then , do some research for school .

Well this was interesting , hope you guys enjoyed this tag ,if u like to see some more let me know.
