My Top 5 Favorite Lip Products



Heyy beautiess, 

Today's post will be a beauty post, AGAIN. I'm terribly sorry that I keep doing these but the truth is, I have no idea what to do for a fashion post other than the predictable 'ootd'. So get on with the requests!




MY TOP 5 FAVORITE LIPPIES!
(In no particular order)



1. Angel by Mac.


I fell in love with this lipstick from the moment I set eyes on it. The perfect mix of pink and nude and a bit of sheen makes it my ideal go-to lipstick! & after I found out it's Kim Kardashian's favorite, it made me love it even more! *Recommended: For pale skintones or with a tan*


2. Vegas Volt by Mac.

This lipstick may seem a tad bit intimidating in the tube but once you put it on, you'll feel fierce!
This is my ideal summer lipstick since it's such a bright color and compliments my summer glow perfectly! *Recommended: For tan/olive skintones*


3. Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart


My favorite lipstick for every occasion. It looks so effortless and pretty and gives life and color to a plain face! A definite must-have for any lippie-addict. *Recommended: For literally all skintones.*


4. Wild Thing by H&M


Perfect for fall & winter, this product is, surprisingly, very good quality! It compliments my skintone in ways words can't even describe and it's the perfect confident boost that every girl needs. Vavavoom! *Recommended: For pale or olive skintones.*

& last but not least...

5. NYX Lip Creams!


Asking me to only pick one of these products as my favorite is like asking a mother to pick her favorite child! These have the creamiest & softest consistency EVER and they also have a matte finish(I'm not a huge fan of gloss). & they smell like vanilla, so that's always a plus! *Recommended: FOR EVERYONE.*



I hope you enjoyed this and you found this helpful!

TAG: Confessions Of A Shopaholic


Hey guys!
I really wanted to get a post up because it's been a week since I've posted & I seem to be experiencing 'writer's block' so I have absolutely no idea what to post - thus a tag post was born! 

I don't really know if you guys like these 'tag posts' and whether or not you'd rather see a video of them but for now, I'll be doing a text post for whoever doesn't enjoy my videos as much!


The questions:


1. Would you consider yourself a shopaholic?

Err.. obviously. Why would I be doing this tag if I wasn't?

2. How would you classify your style?

I hate labels but if I really had to classify my style, I'd say soft grunge mixed with girly&preppy and glamour. 

3. What store can you not leave without buying at least one thing?

I'd have to say H&M. This shop is my own personal safe haven. 

4. Where do you find the best deals?

Probably New Look? Since they're the only shop with actual LEGIT sales and offers unlike F21, Topshop, River Island, Bershka, Mango, etc(Doesn't mean I don't enjoy the shops).

5. What designer are you willing to splurge for?

I don't usually look out for designer items but in my young tween years, I had this unhealthy obsession with Juicy Couture(*cringe*).

6. Do you have a go to shopping outfit?

Yeah, who doesn't?! It has to be something comfortable and easy to take off and put on like leggings and an oversized sweater or off-the shoulder top with toms or even a dress.

7. What is your guilty pleasure? (Not including makeup)

Okay, I know this may seem like a huge surprise to you all but SHOES. (Yes, this answer is dripping with sarcasm)

8. What is one staple clothing piece you cannot live without?

Leggings. God bless whoever created them.

9. What is a trend you hope never goes out of style?

Toms & blazers.

10. What trend did you love that passed way to quickly?

Neon! In Summer & Spring '12, neon clothes, shoes & accessories were the sh*t! I really hope they're big again this year.

11. Who is your fashion icon?

Aaah, I have many since I don't have one fixed style but I have to say Kendall & Kylie Jenner, Kate Moss, Rachel Zoe & last but certainly not least, Miley Cyrus.




So that concludes this post! I hope you all enjoyed and had a glimpse at my unhealthy shopping addiction.

February Favourites 2013!




Hello my fantastic readers<3,
It's been a long and exhausting month and I'm honestly allayed from this stupid, stupid month. 
So many horrible events that I just wanna put behind me in the past. *sigh*
Anyways, this isn't a diary so let's get onto the real post;


MAKEUP FAVOURITES
Revlon Lip Butters
- Revlon Lip Butters:
I've been wearing these like it ain't nobody's business!
These have seriously the only product that has touched my lips throughout this month.
These are right between a lipstick & tinted lip balm because it's too sheer to be a lipstick and too pigmented to be a tinted lip balm. I've also wore it a lot to school because it just brings some life into my face. My favourite has to be in Sweet Tart.

Garnier Anti-Dark Circles Roll On Concealer
- Under-eye Concealer
I'm not going to be boring you with this product becuase I've been raving about it LOADS & I plan on doing a concealer review, with this product included.
This is an eye cream with coverage, it's almost like a tinted moisturizer but for your eyes. I use it as my daily eye cream and I have no complaints.

Max Factor Colour X-PERT Waterproof Eyeliner in Black
- Liquid Eyeliner:
So I've never been one to enjoy the look or even the application of liquid eyeliner because it's so tiresome and unforgiving. But for some reason, I've been loving using this instead of my gel eyeliner and I'm slowly starting to prefer this over my classic Lancome Art Liner... 

- Bioderma Cleansing Water!

Bioderma
Okay you guys.. This thing is the best thing since like sliced bread. I honestly cannot stop obsessing how amazing this is. It's a cleanser and makeup remover in one, I use it everyday before bed even if I don't have any makeup on because it removes any dirt or oils on my face that even my face wash couldn't get off. & also, the cap is pink and uber cute.(the pink is for sensitive skin and there's a green for oily & combo skin) 
GO GET THIS NOW.



FASHION FAVOURITES

- Studded Collars:
Taken off Tumblr
Anything with a studded collar, I probably own. This is a modern twist on such a classic, elegant look. A shirt like this can layer beautifully with pretty much anything and everything. Under a sweater, a cardigan, or even a dress.

- Celine PARIS 

Whether it's the knock-off graphic tee or the classic purse, nothing beats this brand...
I'd honestly give up a kidney for a Celine Nano purse but we can't always get what we want now can we?:(



BOOK FAVOURITES
Girls of Riyadh by Rajaa AlSanea
I recently got this book in my school bookfair and I finished it in about 3 days... This has been added to my favourite book list.
This story talks about the lives of 4 upper-class Saudi girls. Their rebellions, love, heartbreak, success, all in a conservative and Muslim society.  
"Imagine Sex & The City, if the city in question were Riyadh."

TV SHOW FAVOURITES
The Carrie Diaries
This show is an American Teen drama that takes place in the 80's. It's a prequel to Sex & The City and this show revolves around Carrie Bradshaw(One of the main characters in Sex & The City)'s teenage life.
If you liked Sex & The City, then you'll love this.

So that concludes my favourite of the month of February. Tell me if you want more favourite segments for e.g. Music favs, random favs, person favs, etc...

xoxo,
