Just a blog from a Girl in Dubai where I write about home stuff, make up and other things close to me.
Nars has been recently killing it with their launches. I have fallen in love with their Unfiltered I palette and based on that I purchased the Highlighting and Bronzing "Bord de Plage" palette. Not released in UAE as yet, stocked on Nordstrom though.The packaging of the palette is gorgeous. I think this is part of… Continue reading Nars Bord de Plage Review
I love different components of face makeup - eye shadow, concealer, highlights and of course blushes!! Who doesn't love a beautiful rosy hue on the cheeks or a just bitten-by-cold flush? This palette by Nars, the Unfiltered I, stole my heart because it had the Exhibit A blush (which is permanent, by the way) and… Continue reading Looking Unfiltered -I
I have not posted in such a long time that it feels like I am not doing it right!!! Get a grip woman!!! So much more makeup has been launched that I fear for my wallet! I really wanted to get my chubby fingers on the new Becca Light Chasers and such. But I resisted… Continue reading Le Rose Quartz Bling
'Ts the season of spring (it's blistering summer here already in Abu Dhabi) wordwide. That means colours and bright colours... did I mention colours??!! It is also time to talk about the palette that was limited edition and had to be re-released by Kat Von D because it was so good, and so unlike the… Continue reading Color me Pastel Goth!
So apparently I had shifting to do.. and it was messed up and so all consuming that I did not even have the time to breathe!! Dramatic, but true and yet when I received the notification that Color Pop Cosmetics was giving free shipping world wide, my little heart fluttered. And we have a haul!… Continue reading Color Pop Haul!
I love Kat Von D powder and lip products - most of what I have tried are eye shadows and her liquid lipsticks- and the quality is amazing. The pigment, texture, payoff, lasting power - all are top notch. I tried layering them on other shadows and they looked BEAUTIFUL!!! Frankly, I had thought those… Continue reading Kat Von D Alchemist: Holographic Heaven!
I saw this dupe video by Jaime on how the Wet n Wild Blushes were dupes for higher end blushes and then some, I was sorely tempted to get my hands on them. But for the life of me, I could not find them online or in the popular stores which have makeup. Thats when… Continue reading Wet n Wild Blushes @ Virgin Megastore!
As I have probably mentioned and cribbed about here, I have intensely sensitive, acne-prone - oily skin. And if you add hormonal acne to the mix - my skin is a mountainous paradise. Or was, actually! Ever since I went on the pill - it became better. But now that I am off the pill,… Continue reading Cos RX- AHA BHA Toner – Breakout Killer!
It blew the market up when it launched and everyone was talking about the beautiful primer Becca launched in the pale lilac colour! Aimed at brightening and making claims of changing a bad face day into a fresh face day - we have the Becca First Light Priming Filter Primer. Since it has not launched… Continue reading Lovin’ the First Light!
I have wanted to try the Marc Jacobs High Liners for a long while, and I recently bought this trio set of miniatures from Sephora to try the black, brown and copper liner mini's to determine if I even wanted to invest in the full size ones. The packaging is typical luxurious Marc Jacobs -… Continue reading Yes High-Liners, No Glitter – please!!
