Hello.. Sorry I havn't posted anything in a while.. Anyway, today's post will be a review of KENROSA Shampoo

هلوو.. سورري من زمان مانزلت شي من زمان لأن بدت الجامعة وكان عيد.. المهم، بوست اليوم عن شامبو كينروسا

I bought this shampoo because it looked interesting, it didn’t look like any of the other shampoos on the shelf, with it simple packaging and vibrant colour.  

It had no description nor claims so I didn’t know what to expect from it, but the “BERKELEY PERFUMER" made it sound fancy ;P

أشتريت هذا الشامبو لأنه لفت إنتباهي، شكله كان غير عن الشامبوهات الثانية، لأن علبته كانت جداً بسيطة ولونه زاهي.

ماكان مكتوب مواصفاته على العلبة فما أدري شنو أتوقع منه، لكن الكتابة اللي عليه “BERKELEY PERFUMER" حسسني شي كشخة

طريقة الأستخدام: قم بترطيب الشعر وتدليكه بقليل من الشامبو حتى تتكون طبقة كثيفة من رغاوي الشامبو، ثم اشطف شطفاً كاملاً وقم بتنشيف الشعر.

Smell: the smell is unique, not floral nor soap-y, and I think it had hints of jasmine but that might be just me

ريحته: ريحته غريبة شوي، يعني مو ريحته شامبو، أحس فيه شوي ريحة ياسمين بس يمكن أتخيل

Bobbie Brown Makeup Lesson Experience + FOTD

Hello again <3

this is going to be my first face of the day post (hopefully not my last). Lately I've been taking makeup lessons at Bobbie Brown (the basic how to apply makeup)

last week was how to do Smokey Eyes, the lesson duration is 20 minutes, but I asked the makeup artist that works there -which is by the way is an amazing person, she is really sweet and friendly and she was really clear with explaining everything- to alter it so I would be able to wear it to University, and she did.. everything was easier than I thought it would be and it looked really pretty :)

and while we are at it I'll tell you my opinion about their mascara :

Bobbi Brown 'Everything' Mascara

at the store it looked really beautiful when I applied it, it made my lashed look more defined ad it gave a noticeable volume and I had no trouble with it at all, and I left it on my face the whole day (I do that when I am using a new product to test it'd durability) and the next morning after I washed t I noticed that my lashes looked thinner, but I thought that's probably because I washed of the mascara and now my lashes are back to looking boring, but through out the day my lashes kept falling off :( and now they look thin and brittle.
I know that it is caused by this because I don't wear makeup unless I have to.

*Disclaimer: I am not telling you not to buy this product I am just telling you about my experience with it*   

Today's lesson was Secret to Perfect Skin, this time I had another makeup artist teaching me how to do things, she was okay and a little bit rough but maybe it is because I am just not used to people touching my face :/
First thing was skincare routine, which I found okay, but it won't replace my current skincare routine (BTW would anyone like me to make a post about that ?) mainly because it feels kinda heavy on my skin, I can actually feel that I am wearing layers of product which doesn't feel nice at all and it makes me look like I just dipped my face inside a frying pan >.< 

Then she showed me how to conceal my dark circles, which was amazing!!
after that she showed me how to swatch foundation and how to find the right shade for me, and applied foundation on my face, this was my first time wearing foundation (I normally use BB cream) and I didn't like it that much because even though the formula was really light it had a lot of coverage (I would recommend it because this is a really good product) but I don't need any coverage because my skin is clear except for my horrible dark circles :(

After that she used bronzer, honestly I've tried applying bronzer many time but my face always looks dirty when I do XP but it looks nice when she applied it hopefully I'll be able to do it the same way :)

Aaaand, this is the results:

MEANS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE COSMETICS

Any modern woman can't live without beauty products. But if you still want to look good and stay young without using store bought products (that contains a lot of chemicals), here is some tips :

Ice . It makes your skin supple. Take a few ice cubes, put them in a thin cloth. 

Begin massaging from chest, in circular motion, avoiding the nipples. Do this procedure every evening - this will prevent the formation of stretch marks and improve blood circulation ... 

Tea . This usual and customary drink contains polyphenols, which have anti-aging effect. To ensure that your skin has supple and healthy color, grab a cold brew, mix it with beaten egg whites. Put a lot on the face, and after 10 minutes wash it off with warm water. 

Salt . Usual fine grained salt will help your feet skin to soften. Add half a cup of fine salt in a basin of warm water, soak your feet in the solution. After the procedure, rinse your feet with warm water and rub it off with a towel. A coarse salt helps to remove dead skin from the feet and heels. Rub coarse salt on problem areas using a damp sponge, then your feet soak for five minutes. After the procedure, apply moisturizer. 

yeast . It prevents acne and reduce inflammation. couple of teaspoons of yeast, mixed with warm milk,  and applied to the face makes a good facial mask. Allow mask to dry and then wash it off with warm water. 

Spoons . They help eliminate unnecessary and dark circles under the eyes. Put two spoons in the freezer for a few hours. Take them and apply to eyelids for a minute. After the procedure, gently massage the skin around the eyes.

How to do your makeup when you have a cold

When you have cold, your body becomes very weak, your skin is pale, runny nose and your eyes are filled with tears. Want to know how you could apply make up in order to disguise the fact that you have a cold? Below are a few steps you need to follow.

One. Use concealer!

Concealer is essential in such conditions! Apply it in a thin layer on top of the nose (which becomes red), and under the eyes to mask dark circles. 

Two. Exfoliate dead skin on your lips

Sometimes low temperatures can lead to cracking lips. To solve this problem and have soft lips, it's best to exfoliate! Get a face towel and soak it in warm water and then rub your lips gently to remove dead cells, or you can make a DIY lip exfoliation. Then apply a layer of moisturizing lip balm, over which you can apply and some color.

Three. A glowing skin with a shimmer blush

Exfoliate your face with a scrub, then apply your foundation.Define your makeup with a blush that have pearl particles/shimmer. This product will bring you, literally, the color in the cheeks and give you radiant beauty.

Four. Without black tears!

Another product that helps enormously when you have cold is waterproof mascara. Unlike eyeshadows that fade almost immediately when tears come out, waterproof mascara will make your eyes look bigger and brighter! As you weep, the mascara last.

Beauty tip: wash your face with warm water

Always use warm water to wash your face, instead of cold water.

Because cold water causes sudden contraction of the pores (it closes the pores) before you get to remove all the dirt, oil, and cleanser from your face, which can cause pimples and breakouts.

Also don't use hot water to wash your face or it'll make your skin expand causing you early wrinkles.

Review: Tonymoly Latte Art Milk Tea Morning Pack

You know what time it is ? 

It is review time :)

Today I'll review a primer/moisturizer by tonymoly, it is called Tonymoly Latte Art Milk Tea Morning Pack

Product claims: 

This creamy pack type make-up starter is a speedy skin boosting primer with instant moisture veil, hydrating touch and silky finish. It prepares the skin for following steps of make-up with smoothing effect on rough surface. Containing black tea extract, this multi-purpose formula delivers plenty of nourishment and activating elements into skin, leaving the skin amazingly radiant and supple. Also, it makes the skin to be ready for wonderful make-up fit and touch. It includes corn hair tea extract and caffeine to make the lifted face line.

the good thing about tonymoly is that they write their ingredients in English

How to use: After cleansing, apply adequate amount of the pack, rub for 20 seconds and leave for 10 seconds to absorb.

Texture: it is hard to explain it, it is not runny but it is not thick, it feels like a paste I think ? like silicone or something (I am really bad with describing stuff X(

 

( again I swear that my hands are not that pigmented -I don't deny that it have some uneven tan- but it is not pigmented like this !!)

Pros:

Review: Missha Creamy Latte Cleansing Foam #01 Choco Latte

Hello ~

while checking the photos on my camera today, I realized that I didn't post reviews from my skincare haul yet (sorry).

So today I am going to review Missha chocolate latte face wash:

product claims:

1. Cleansing foam that contains chocolate latte that provides vitality and nutrition to the tired, dry skin.

2. The chocolate latte provides abundant nutrition which prevents skin aging and loss of vitality.

3. Soft, smooth lather like latte moisturizes the skin even after wash off.

the back of the tube, everything is in hangul

ingredients: (from official website)

- Contains 516mg of Chocolate latte

- Chocolate contains polyphenol that vitalizes the skin.

- Minerals, protein and daily fat moisturizes and soothes the dry skin.

size:  172ml

packaging: simple white tube, with pretty gold decoration and a cup of coffee.

price: US $6.92
How To Use: Apply a proper amount to your face and massage lightly. Then, wash your face with lukewarm water.

texture: very creamy, and feels great on your skin. tends to become a bit hard if you keep it on your room with the air conditioner on for the whole day (it is 35 °C right now).. I also like the gold-ish brown colour of this product, it looks like it have shimmer in it which is cool.

Does it work ?

let's check :

excuse the bandage, I had a bad experience with a razor

^This is my hand before.

Missha eye shadow, 2 lipstick, waterproof eye pencil, Missha BB cream in 23

with just a little bit of rubbing, most of the makeup is gone.

all of the makeup is gone (except for the darker pink lipstick( I dunno if you can see it in the picture), it stained in my skin, and I couldn't take it off, even after washing it several times with regular hand soap a few hours later).

this product passed the test ^___^

Pros:
- it smells amazing (chocolate and coffee), the smell is really refreshing in the morning.
- very effective i cleaning your skin, and it is very gentle in the same time.
- make your face glow after using it, and it also helped evening out my skin tone
- Doesn't leaves any residue behind 
- budget friendly (bot only cheap, but you only need a little bit of it and it is enough for your face and neck)
- moisturize the skin.

Cons:
- you can only buy it online.
- it doesn't taste as good as it smells, it is very bitter, and it is hard to get rid of it if it gets in your mouth (I did not try to eat it! it got in my mouth because I was talking to my mom while washing my face).. also be careful not to get it in your eyes, it'll dry them.

Repurchase: Maybe, but I really want to try Holika Holika Daily Garden Cleansing Foam.

Back to University haul

Sup ?

it is back to school season :(

I'll start Uni on 15th September (1 days to go) and I am a bit nervous, I don't know why but I keep feeling that I am not yet ready ( both emotionally and materially ), so to make myself feel better I got out all the stuff I got for university and took pictures, because this way I'll know if there is something I didn't get yet.

and since I already photographed everything, I thought why not blog about it ? you know it can be a good reference for me for next semester, and it might help some people.

so here you go :
