TARTE Maracuja Oil

Hey Margaritas!! 
So this Sunday staying home and pampering myself is way much needed cause the weekend was amazing , but crazy busy… so yes some major resting and pampering is going down today. And one of the things Ive been totally into lately is face oils, And i don't know for you, but for me it was something that didn't convinced me at the beginning , of course I thought how am I gonna put oil on my face??? Oil would make me breakout right?? I don't know that was just something that I always thought , it was common sense when it came to face products... but I was so wrong... , So I don't exactly remember when I started using this products , but I totally LOVE IT!! and Im talking about the TARTE Maracuja oil.
There are actually tons of amazing face oils out there , so it doesn't have to necessarily be this one , but this is one of my favorites , first this brand has never disappointed me so I bought it first because of this , this oil totally delivers amazing moisture to the skin (way better than a moisturizer!) It makes your skin looks and feels super smoother after a while of using face oils , its so crazy.
It is just something that I totally always recommend anyone that asks me for skin care advise , face oil totally changes the way your skin looks and feels all together , I totally saw an overall visible improvement in my skin , and it never broke me out.
I just put a few drops in my hands and rub it in my face after I take my makeup off , and cleanse everything , thats it! 

Hope you have an amazing Sunday , and week ahead !!

Ambient Lighting Blush By HOURGLASS

Hello Beauties!!
I guess todays post is not really about a new product cause the ambient lighting range from Hourglass has already been talked and written about a LOT, I got this blush a long time ago when everyone was raving about them, And I loved it since the beginning (promise) but the reason I'm writing about it now is that I was going trough my makeup the other day and saw this baby , so I just decided to use it again when I did my make up that day… and OMG I totally remembered why I loved it so much , it is seriously amazing , it just feels so nice when you apply it to your cheeks , cause it is just so airy and lightweight, but at the same time it has the perfect combination of pigmentation and a little bit of highlight that just looks so flattering for any skin color .
They have 7 shades , the one I own and LOVE is RADIENT MAGENTA, which is a golden fuchsia kind of color, It just delivers the most natural and radiant amazingness to your cheeks.
This blushes are available in Sephora in the states , but our Sephora here in the Middle East doesn't carry this brand , however there is a great Instagram shop here in Qatar where you can get some of the Hourglass products , including this blushes look in Instagram for @beautepopshop and click on their link to start shopping.

So seriously don't  hesitate in getting your hand on this beauties cause I promise you will not regret them , they are expensive , but worth every penny.
Lots of love as always…and wish you a great rest of the weekend.

Clarins Lip Perfectors

Hello everyone,

So today I´m gonna talk about Clarins Instant lip perfectors.

These lip glosses are one of my favorite things in the world (a little bit dramatic..haha)

They look like lip glosses, but I would describe them as a creamy/glossy lip balm. They are so moisturizing and creamy on the lips. They definitely don´t have the sticky feeling that most lip glosses have (which I hate).

The best thing about them is the scent, OMG they smell sooo good you will want to lick it. It is like a vanilla scent, but the best type of vanilla ever.

They look really natural on the lips, they barely give some color. 

These ones are perfect for the winter season, because they will cure any chapped lips.

I have made friends go and buy them and get obsessed with them just like me (that´s how good they are).

Also, Clarins is not that expensive so you don´t have to feel that bad about buying them (haha) .

I know they currently came out with the stick version, every time I enter a Sephora I´m so temped to get them .

So, I HIGHLY recommend them.

SMASHBOX Photo Finish Primer Water

Hello Margaritas!!

Todays post is to share the LOVE , cause I just got this primer and it just totally changed the way I felt about silicone free primers, cause since I started using primers Ive been totally into the silicone based ones, I just felt that they are the ones that really covered my HUGEEEE pores better. (cause yes it was my fault , when I was younger I used to go to bed without taking my makeup off , and now I have to suffer the consequences of my actions).
Anyways so lets go back to the primer , this primer is silicone, alcohol and oil free !!! The main ingredient of this product are electrolytes , (which I only knew that they were something sports drinks have) but apparently the fact that this primer has them is what makes it so amazing , and my favorite thing is that it can be used as a primer, but also as a setting spray.

Also a great way of using this product is that if you keep it in the fridge , it is the best thing to use as a face mist after you clean your face in the mornings, it just wakes up your skin and makes it look hydrated and refreshed instantly …. promise ..it is just like magic, also it doesn't make your skin feel sticky or anything after, it is just like a supercharge product for your skin , so definitely recommend it, So just go to your favorite Sephora and grab one of this babies, wont regret it.

H&M Beauty Bronzer

Hello everyone,

Today I´ll be talking about a bronzing powder from H&M Beauty.

I was so excited when I entered H&M (2 weeks ago), and I found the makeup in store. I went to the H&M in Landmark here in Qatar.

The display is so pretty and sleek, they have a wide variety of products. 

I didn't know what to buy (because I know I don´t need anything..haha), at the end I decided for this solar flair bronzing powder.

I absolutely love the packaging , it´s really simple and sleek . It looks like an expensive packaging, but I gotta say that when you actually hold the product, it feels like cheap packaging. Either way, I think they did a great job at packaging and the display of products.And Also the store put the magnet sticker (so people don´t steal the makeup), right on top of my powder.I´ve tried everything and it still looks ugly and sticky :(, I guess that was just a mistake but it sucks.

I decided this bronzer because it was all matte and a light shade of brown. I though it would be great for an everyday bronze look. But OH NO.., when I first applied it I was shocked at the color. I was completely orange, it looked like I just got a really bad fake tan.It was an immediate regret.

I´ve also seen a lot of youtubers raving about H&M Beauty so, I definitely want to try some other products from the range.I know that it was probably my fault to choose this shade.

Gold Glitter Nails

Hello everyone,

So today is another mani monday, so I´m gonna show you my current nails.

Im wearing this Marc Jacobs nude color called “158 Madame Enamored ” as a base .

I bought this nail polish last year in a Marc Jacobs beauty set (on SALE yey!)

I do have to say that this nail polish is so creamy, with a gelish kind of texture (which I adore).

On top of that I applied some gold flakes of glitter. The one I used is from Dior, I bought it last year for christmas so I don´t think you can get it anymore .But I´m pretty sure Bourjois sells an exact dupe and obviously way cheaper. 

Hope you guys like the post .

MAC Strobe Cream

Hello Margaritas!! Todays post is not exactly something that would be categorized as skin care …. BUT it is also not completely a makeup product , cause even the fact that you can use it as a base for your foundation , its not really what we would call a primer ….. the main benefits of this products are moisturizing and aluminizing the skin.
This cream is seriously amazing!!! Its definitely my favorite one out of all the other brands that have similar products , this one is like packed with small iridescent particles , that once you rub them in your skin it just magically makes even the dullest skin look like you just had a GOLD facial!!
I like to use this product mixed with a similar consistency face primer, or sometimes I also use it by itself before any other product , it just boosts the look of the skin in a way Ive never seen with any other products, its not greasy or heavy , it is not crazy moisturizing so you can wear your normal face moisturizer let that be absorbed for a while and then apply this cream , you will immediately see the results, after this you can just continue with your foundation or any other product you usually wear and the difference is so clear , that I bet you will start getting compliments on your skin , and makeup from the first time you wear it.

It has that particular ( and honestly horrible ) kinda chemically scent that all MAC products have, which will be the only downside to this product , and it is not really a true problem cause by now I think everybody is used to that scent , so really there is nothing bad or wrong about this product , even the packaging is cute.
So Margaritas I truly recommend you going to MAC and getting a sample of this ( or the full size product … cause it will save you a second trip to the mall… believe me you will end up buying it).

INGLOT Eyeshadows

Hello everyone, today I´m gonna be talking about INGLOT eyeshadows.

I´m totally in love the this brand, and I don´t really understand why people don´t rave about them all the time.

When you go to the store, it feels like a MAC store (but cheaper prices).

They have tons of products and pretty much any color you could ever imagine.

They have a system called “freedom system” which is the one where you have the freedom to put anything you want in an empty palette (yes, pretty much anything).

Lipsticks, concealers, blushes, bronzers, setting powders, eyeshadows etc. 

I´ve only tried their eyeshadows from this system.

So you buy the empty palette by itself, and then you can buy single eyeshadows to put inside the palette. 

The eyeshadows are the same quality (sometimes even better) than MAC.

The only thing that I don´t like about their products, it´s that products don´t have any name they just have numbers.

I highly recommend you guys to go check out INGLOT, it´s an amazing brand.

Here in Qatar, you can find them at Hyatt Plaza and Ezdan mall.

Too Faced Melted Lipsticks

Hello everyone, today I´m gonna be talking about the melted lipsticks from Too Faced.

I´ve only tried the original ones (they also have metal ones).

I know Too Faced will soon launch a new melted collection of all chocolate shades, and I´m dying to try them all.

I have 5 melted lipsticks from the original range, and I love them all.

Too Faced describes them as a liquified long wear lipsticks. 

I would describe them as a really pigmented and opaque lip gloss . 

I don´t really think they are the most long wearing lipsticks in the market, but for a lipgloss I would say they last a long time.

These liquid lipsticks are different from the usual ones, because they are not matte at all, instead they have a glossy finish. 

I only have one full size lipstick (melted violet), all the other ones I have are mini sizes from different makeup kits. 

Melted Fig is a dark purple wine-ish color, I think this color looks good on everyone. Perfect for the autumn and winter season.

Melted Nude is (like the name says), a really warm nude shade. Really opaque and pigmented, and weirdly enough it is the least glossy one out of all (don´t know why).

Melted Peony is the typical baby pink color.

Melted Fuchsia is one of my favorites, and actually it was the first one that I got. A really hot pink, perfect for spring and summer.

Melted Violet is a beautiful purple with some pink undertones. I think this is a really wearable purple and it is my favorite out of all! 

Too Faced is one of my favorite makeup brands, great pigmentation and quality overall (and obviously, I adore the packaging). 

I really like these liquid lipsticks from Too Faced, so I highly recommend them.

RIMMEL Provocalips 16 HR kiss proof lip color

Hello Margaritas!!
Today post is another bad review on a product that it is just NOT worth spending money on it.
This is the long lasting lipgloss from Rimmel , yes the name is very catch-y and the packaging is so pretty but it just sucks! , maybe some people have a different opinion about this , and this would be great cause it means it is just not working on my lips , cause seriously it just didn't !
This product claims to leave the lips feeling smooth and moisturized all day long , together with of course 16 HR of perfect looking lips ….. and let me tell you that Im so not being over dramatic , this   lip (whatever it is)… didn't even last 1 hour in my lips without starting to look like I had some sort of skin problem …This dries horribly on the lips , it starts feeling like clay , and falls in like little pieces so ur lips start looking all patch-y and disgusting.
And of course it totally dries your lips, and you will have to exfoliate them for sure after wearing this lip stick, so in conclusion this is a HORRIBLE product all together (so happy I only bought 1 color , this time)

Totally hope this just happens to me and someone out there is actually happy with this product.
