Beauty Review: Korres Lip Butters

Hello girlies,
Korres is very famous for their creamy buttery moisturizing lip butters. They come in different colors and I have 3 of them. Jasmin, pomegranate, and wild rose. I got them in a set during the holidays from sephora. The consistency of the lip butter is so creamy and smooth. It feels amazing on the lips and gives a soft tint of color to your lips. They leave the lips feeling soft and moisturized. I really recommend getting one of them because they make a difference on your lips!

Xoxo,
Yara

Sigma Brushes Review

Hey guys,
So I heard such a crazy rave on Sigma makeup brushes, therefore decided to buy some and test it out. It took me such a long time to finally commit and spend some money. Lets just say I wish I didn't wait this long.
I only got a travel size package, the essential kit, just to test out. And OMG they're extremely soft, they look elegant and classy.
The performance of these brushes are actually amazing, I think I'm gonna love them more than MAC and I think it's even better than MAC :O!
I highly recommend try them out they make the application of makeup so easy and flawless! I love them!!
Also they sent a small gift with my purchase, a single eyeshadow it's black with sparkles. And wow it is so pigmented and amazing. I am truly amazed by this makeup brand!!

Taking Care of Your Nails

Hellooo,

So this post is about taking care of your nails. And how my nail routine is like. I love to paint my nails so much, I am such a nail polish addict. I do everything at home and they come out looking better than the nail salon.
My steps in having a good manicure are so:
1. Massage a cuticle cream all over the nail. I use lemony flutter cuticle butter from lush.
2. Push back your cuticles with a curlicue pusher. Lol i don't know what the proper name is called.
3. File down your nails, get a good quality nail filer. I used to use dollar store kinda and they are no good. Then I bought this filer from bath and body and it's so much better.
4. This is an optional step but I apply a strengthening nail polish because I want my nails to be stronger and not chip easily.
5. Apply a base coat, this is very important because you want to protect your nails from the nail polish. Then apt your designated color and top coat. Voila!
Also it's a very good habit to be active in your nail care. So take omega-3 pills! They will strengthen your nails and hair! Accelerating growth! And I'm pretty sure that's what all girls want!

Beauty Review: Seche Vite Top Coat

Hey guys,
So I've been using this top coat for a little while. Decided to try it out since I heard such great reviews. It seriously does what the name says.
It's a fast dry top coat and it leaves the nail looking so shiny and perfect. I love this top coat so much it works amazing!
As you can see in the comparison of nails, with and without top coat, it makes a big difference. Without top coat its so dull and boring, but with this top coat, its shiny and strong!
Go check it out, I purchased mine from Winners, and I always see it there!
Xoxo,
Yara

Beauty Review: MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle

Hello Beauty Lovers,
I purchased from MAC about a month ago my first Mineralized Skin Finish (MSF) in Soft and Gentle.
I was skeptical about buying this product and if it has any worth to it. I just thought, pfftt why use a highlighter, who cares? Well I risked it and bought the product!
Let me tell you guys, I am IN Love! It wraps up the whole look and just adds that cherry on top! I didn't think it would be such a staple in my makeup collection, turns out it is! I absolutely love putting it on, I love the way it looks on the skin, it just adds the final touch! Its always those products you're a bit skeptical in that turn out to be your most loved item!
I strongly recommend purchasing this highlighter, you will fall in love with the concept of highlighting! I will post a tutorial on highlighting and contouring very soon!!

Arabian Eyes

Hellooo,

So this look is super easy and fast to create. Only need a couple of tools and you are set!
Its easy to wear, natural everyday makeup. I've been wearing it all the time, and  you know that saying, "a little goes a long way" ? Yes, that saying is very true. Such little makeup in the eye area and applying it to the places that will give you that flawless look, is what makes the saying come alive!

For this look i used a dark chocolate brown eyeshadow from again, my lorac unzipped palette.  this color has some shimmer in it, gives this coppery undertone to the eye when applied. 
SO lets start with the full tutorial,
i will be curling my eyelashes, use any curler you would like. then i focus on applying my mascara very evenly. 
start from the root of the lashes and apply slowly stroking the formula across the lashes. i apply at least 3 coats of mascara for this look. i would start on my right eye for instance and then let it dry while applying it to my left eye. Once i finish left eye I'd go back to right eye and so on... 
Once you have applied the mascara 3 times let them dry for couple seconds then start smudging in the eyeshadow in your lower lash line.
Using an eyeliner brush, dip it into the eyeshadow and start blending it through your lower lash line.
Then i would take a light touch of the same colour and line the outer corner of the upper lash line.
And that is all for the look! It will give your eyes this soft arabian look, because arabian makeup is very concentrated in the eyes. 
I hope you enjoyed this look and leave a comment below for more suggestions! :)

Winter Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hey guys, 
So ive been experimenting with a few "winter" colors and came up with a nice soft look with the tones of winter. I incorporated the silvers, shimmers and neutrals all representing the winter tones. This look is very wearable and i hope you enjoy it! And leave a comment for more suggestions or looks !! :) 

1. Begin with a neutral eyeshadow base, i am using MACs paint pod in Morning Frost. Apply all over the lid and a little into the crease.
2. Next apply L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Flashback Silver all over the lid.

 3. Using a crease brush apply a chocolate brown in the corner of your eye, create a "V" shape in the corner of the eye and blend it through to your crease. This will create a soft smokey effect. I used from the Lorac unzipped palette "untamed" i took this color also to line my lower lash line and upper with a eyeliner brush.

4. Next apply a coat of your choice of mascara. im using covergirls lashblast fusion.

 5. Lastly for the face i applied all over my foundation (studio fix) then applied a rozy blush and used a highlighter (soft and gentle by MAC)
