Cocoa Contour Palette from TOO FACED

Hello Beauties!
So the amount of excitement I have about this products is hard to put on words!! Ive run to buy this at spear after watching every youtubers 2015 favorites , cause they all mentioned it , so I thought that if they did it had to be cause the product is legit good right?
This palette is amazing , is super creamy , super pigmented when it comes to the bronzers , that it makes countering the easiest thing in the world , also the color called Light Cocoa is been my favorite powder to set my concealer , and lighten my under eye area , the only color that im not crazy obsessed about is the shimmery highlight , and its not cause its not good , cause it is , but I'm more into really shimmery highlighters and I feel like this one is not BOOM enough.
This palette is also in a pretty good packaging , and comes with an angled small brush to contour , that is actually pretty good , super soft and easy to work with , and thats not all !! of course Too Faced had to have that extra amazing detail and made the whole palette chocolate scented!!
Im just completely in love with this to the point that my Anastasia Beverly hills palette can get lost and I would not even notice …. 

Totally recommend this product , whether you are an expert at contouring , or you are just starting cause it would make it super easy for you.

Peony Perfecting Cream from L´Occitane

Hello Margaritas
Today I just wanted to post something about this product cause , I've been using it for about a month only , but I'm completely in love with the difference i can feel in my skin , This product is the Peony Perfecting Cream from L´Occitane , its a 24h-hydration cream , and its not like I'm counting the hours , but i use it before I apply my makeup and , before I go to bed , and having really dry skin it has done wonders, I haven't gotten any dry patches in a very long time , my under eye area which is usually one of my most problematic areas when it comes to dryness  has a completely different feel , and that totally helps with my makeup , the formula is not greasy so it is useful as a moisturizer before applying makeup also .
it totally helps to beautify skin,and improves the look of its texture, the skin looks gloomy and rested.

As per the brand the skin-perfecting peony extract acts on skin cells to help visibly correct complexion and texture irregularities, and that sounds way too fancy , but it totally does something amazing to my skin , so I totally recommend it Margaritas if you are in the market for a new daily moisturizer.

My Favorite Mascaras

Hello Beauties!!!

Today lets talk Mascara!! one of the essentials in everyones makeup look right? wether you are a complete makeup expert or a simple everyday kinda girl this is a product we all use.
And I want to share with you my 3 favorite mascaras from 2015 until now …. and probably they will keep on being in my collection , cause the 3 of them are amazing in its own special way.
ROLLER LASH CURLING MASCARA  from Benefit 
This mascara had everyone going crazy when they launched , and I'm honestly not a big fan of Benefit as a brand and I hated the They´re Real mascara so I was a bit skeptical about this one , but since everyone was talking about it I decided to give it a go …. and it was love at first sight … totally , and its weir cause I usually like mascaras with fiber wands more than the silicone ones but this one totally does her job , cause it curls your lashes like nothing else! Amazing quality and it separates and makes them look amazing , you can layer as much as you want and they wont look al lumpy , they will still look good , of course is waterproof , so it doesn't smudge , and it lasts a long time , also taking it of is not such a bad task .
LIGHTS, CAMERA, FLASHES STATEMENT MASCARA from Tarte
This mascara I got it from Sephora at the beginning of 2015 , I heard a lot about it and I usually like everything from this brand so I decided to give it a go … Amazing it became my favorite mascara right away , this also has a silicon wand , but way bigger than the Roller Lash , is super black , and it lengthens and curls lashes so much!! it is perfect when you want to intensify your look for a very bold eye … I just totally LOVE IT!!
BETTER THAN LOVE from Too Faced
So yes if you are not from the Middle East you probably know this mascara , as better than sex … but here for obvious reasons is called better than love , which in my opinion , both names are stupid , but anyways thats not the important thing , cause the product itself delivers amazing results so we can totally get over the ridiculous name …What this mascara does best is volume , it gives your lashes a very voluminous , intense look , the brush is what makes it so great I believe cause it covers all your lashes and immediately makes them longer and fuller , I love using this together with the Roller Lash from Benefit to get the perfect look. And lets not forget that the packaging of this mascara is amazing , I just love holding it in my hands , its so heavy and it feels so luxurious … and its PINK!!!

Thanks for reading Margaritas!!!

Colourpop Eyeshadows

Hello Beauties!!

Todays post is about the Amazing eyeshadows from COLOURPOP!! and you probably already heard about this products...cause they are crazy good, in all aspects , this brand is fairly new , and they are everywhere now , cause the products are of an amazing quality and the prices are great , I totally love this brand , and the eyeshadows are my favorites , they are super creamy and pigmented , the thing I like the most is the consistency , they are like a mix of cream and powder eyeshadows , its weird to explain , but once you tried them you will understand what I mean , and the shimmer ones are so crazy pigmented that when you have them on it looks like loose pigment , also they are super easy to apply cause of the consistency so even if you are not so good at eyemakeup you can just apply one color to your whole lid and it looks like so damn... good !! They dont crease , they last the whole day and also when it comes to taking your makeup off they are very easy to remove. They are amazing in every possible aspect , I have no bad comment what so ever about this product , currently I have around 20 eyshadows in my collection , both shimmer and matte , and I love every one of them !

 Also another thisng I like about colourpop is that they are constantly doing collabs with youtubers , which I think is super cool , and the collab products are always amazing, I have Kathleen Lights collab and Shaaanxo also and I LOVE THEM!! 

I 100% reccomend you trying this products , you will never regret it !! They only sell them online at colourpop.com and they only ship to the US which is very sad ... but here in Qatar thanks to great Makeup Lovers that thought about this problem , we can buy them through their Instagram stores , and they deliver them right at your door step , some of them are : @beautepopshop and @f6ame_beauty

     

So Margaritas , whenever you are thinking of getting some new eyeshadows , dont look any further and try this ones out!!

BOBBI BROWN shimmer Brick

Hello Beautiful Margaritas!!
So Im quite sure you already in the Highlighter obsession that everybody is on lately , and that is because it totally changes the way your skin and your makeup looks in the most amazing way, and since champagne pop form Becca came out Ive been totally obsessed with that one , I didn't use anything else , Ive even use it as an eyeshadow, so I was pretty much not into buying any highlighters cause I thought that there will not be anything like it anymore , and Im not comparing the Bobbi Browns highlighters to the Becca one, cause they are totally different , but I got this shimmer brick as a Christmas gift from my Fiance and OMG they are amazing as well , it is a lighter kind of highlighter if it makes any sense, I mean in the way that it is not super shimmery like the Becca one , but it is still so flattering and it just makes you're skin lit from within , it is the perfect highlighter for like an everyday use , even during the day. Also they have a bronzer highlighting brick and a pink one …OMG I cant wait to get my hands on those cause they are just so pretty , crazy pigmented and creamy like nothing else, you can also use them as eyeshadow by the way and it looks gorgeous on the eyelids as well , Of course being a Bobbi Brown products , this babies are expensive … but if you don't mind spending a little extra money on makeup I totally recommend trying out this highlighters.

Let me know if you have the pink or the bronzer one cause I totally need them in my LIFE!!!
Catch you on the next post Beauties!!

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Dipbrow Pomade

Hello Margaritas!!
Todays post is about a product that probably you already know how amazing it is …cause it is just the BOMB.COM …and that is because ANASTASIA BH is the queen of brows!! I know this might be a big statement due to the huge amount of products for brows we have now in the market , but as someone that has very thin eyebrows I always come back to this product and totally recommend it everytime Im asked about a good brow filler or pencil.
So my 2 favorite products from ABH for brows are the BROW WIZ and the DIPBROW POMADE, the brow wiz is amazing , however it is the product I usually carry with me in my purse and use only for touch ups cause seriously my eyebrows are such a mess that if I wanted to fill them everyday with this pencil It would take forever…. thats why the dip brow pomade is the most amazing product for brows.
This is a waterproof super fast drying pomade, and it will just never smudge or slide … NEVER! , also it is so pigmented and it just blends to perfection to create full and thick eyebrows. The color range is also very wide as they have 11 shades that go from very blonde eyebrows to ebony as well , so you will find your match for sure , and just one more good thing about this product is that little goes a very long way, so one pot will last you a long time, even if you don't use it too often and it gets a little dry , you can just add a drop of oil and it will be good as new again.

This product here in Qatar you can find in the Instagram account of @beautepopqatar

Lilac Shimmering Mani

Hello Beauties!!
Yes I know today is not Monday , but something weird happened yesterday and my post didn't upload … but anyways here you have it today , this is the mani I did for New Years , and its actually kind of out of what I usually do for NYE cause I tend to always do either silver or gold nails every year , but this year I was like , lets do something a little bit different , and even though is still glittery its a shimmer lilac color…So that for me makes it waaaaaaay different ..hahahaha 
For the base I used LAVENDER LUSTRE , from Maybelline , and this nail polish is from their Holographic collection , Im not sure if they sell them anymore cause I bought it quite a while ago but any shimmer lilac color will do it.
Then on top I applied 2 other nail polishes , just to give it that extra shimmer that is needed for New Years Nails!! First I applied 2 coats of MILKY WAY this one is from Revlon ´s Nail Art Moon Candy collection , and the one I used is only the shimmery one witch will be number 2 , cause this nail polishes have a base and a coat all in one , this color is just a silver-y very big and chunky glitter that looks so pretty on top of almost any nail polish.
And for the last bit of glitter , I used a nail polish of small black glitter , mine is from H&M , but any other will do.

Hope you like this Mani, I think It looks super pretty , and its very simple to do.

L´Occitane Almond Shower Oil

Hello Beauties!!
So today is Sunday … and I've been waiting for a stay at home Sunday for like 2 weeks already … I'm not complaining  my holiday vacations have been amazing , but you know when you are traveling and staying with family you don't really have all your stuff or even time for a proper pampering session ( it might sound a little spoiled , but I'm used to at least having one day a week if i can , of just taking long baths , exfoliating, wearing masks , and all that stuff to just relax and give my skin a break of makeup and all that stuff).
Anyways so all this is actually to tell you that I got this product a little before Christmas in the L´ Occitane ´s event to present the Christmas gifts sets here in Doha, that changed this completely cause it kinda makes my skin feel like I've been out of a pampering bath without taking one…and OMG it is amazing! Im talking about the ALMOND SHOWER OIL, and you have probably already heard about this cause it pretty famous , but Ive never tried anything from this brand before, so since I wanted to get something from the brand I thought this was a good option (also because I've been into oils lately and they are my favorite product for moisturizing , and this product has just changed my life !!! I promise, Im sure I will used it everyday as long as I can afford to , cause its expensive let me tell you …, but totally worth it.
This products is completely different to other body oils , cause it is also cleansing , I mean it will clean your skin at the same time that it is moisturizing , I guess thats why is so special and everyone kept raving about it , it makes every shower feel like a pampering session for my skin , it is just amazing , and the smell is great.

So for sure this product is now a new staple in my shower! This is the only shower oil that cleanses while leaving my skin soft and moisturized, and it's light fragrance is lovely without being overpowering!! If you are into taking quick showers , but still taking care and pampering your skin , this product is definitely for you.
Thank you so much for reading , and see you guys in my next post !
