This is our summer..” Well… that’s how it is here baby! We make the most of this season.. you will see all restaurants setting tables out,   outdoor activities like Food Festivals, Outdoor Markets etc.. This is before the weather gets scorching hot!!! Two weekends ago friends invited us to check Emirates Bio Farm in Al Ain.

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.. My recent big purchase from Colourpop led me to buy these 4 Eye Shadow Palettes … Two are on the list of Best Sellers and the other two are part of the collaboration of Colourpop with one of my favorite Youtube influencer, Kathleen Lights. The palette retails for $16 US (58.76 UAE Dirham) (839 Philippine Peso)   plus tax if you are buying from US and plus Customs Duties outside US.   Palette    contains 12 colors which are mostly in warm coppers and rich mauves which actually complements medium skin tone very much, and I believe light and dark skin tones as well.   Yesterday I left late morning for a weekend get together with my g...

It was quite interesting because they released an eye shadow palette, Super Shock shadows, lip glosses and Crème Lux Lipsticks.  image from Colourpop Website Going through the whole collection, I picked out 3 items which I know I will be using a lot, and these were 3 shades of the Crème Lux Lipsticks in Belle, Ariel and Snow White. 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 con...

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...
