Follow my blog with Bloglovin Raise your hand if you live in the sunny Middle East… It’s that time of the year that we all love the most… our so called winter.   I can already hear the English peeps saying.. “You call this winter?? This is our summer..” Well… that’s how it is here baby!

Two weekends ago friends invited us to check Emirates Bio Farm in Al Ain. They advertised that they are having an open farm activity open for families and kids..   Upon taking an exit from the Dubai-Al Ain road, you will be driving on a partially asphalted road and ahead you will see a big patch of green surrounded by trees which looked like an Oasis in the middle of the desert.

Colourpop Series #3: Give it To Me Straight Palette Swatches & Review

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Hey Ladies! I hope everyone is doing well. I am so giddy and excited! It is my first time to try an eye shadow palette from Colourpop . Yes, I know I’m a bit late on reviewing this, but it’s not stopping me from sharing what I humbly think that may actually help, so here it goes..

Funny how the shades that I picked corresponds to my   favorite Princesses.   Let’s talk about the packaging; each item is in a beautifully designed box with a sketch of their respective princess which is actually really well done. The lipstick container itself if made of a brass-like metal finish and it has some weight on it which gives it a very lux feel. It has the different names of each princess printed on the container.

I hope everyone is feeling extra  loved today.   As promised, here we are with our first installment of our Colourpop Series and I am very excited. We will be talking  about these babies.. As I aged in the last years, I have changed my makeup routines which depended on many factors,   main one was my skin condition.   I love the no makeup – makeup look and if I can avoid using a foundation it makes me the happiest. One thing though that I always use and never ran out of are highlighters. They are essential for me. From my latest order from Colourpop I decided to try their Highlighters. Super Shock Highlighter in Wisp And Pressed Powder Highlight in Here Kitty Kitty These were as per the recommendations of Kathleenlights, one of my favorite OG Youtuber, and they   are best for medium tone skin. Sooo.. why not? This is how it’s packed when you get them.  The compact mirror
