Beauty Haul & Swatch: Spring Sales (NYX, Revlon, Rimmel)

Hello beauties !!

As I have told you before I couldn't resist the spring sales. The drug store products are usually very affordable (but with the sales they don't cost much at all). 


Here are the products I purchased (I'm trying all of them for the first time)

Beauty Haul 2: 20% Spring Sales (Sephora)

Hello beauties,

You can't imagine how surprised I was when I received an email announcing 20% sales in Sephora (What !! What !! Sales??!!) I'm living in KSA for 2 years now and one thing I know about Sephora is they never had sales before, well until this Spring. How could I resist??

Hello Beauties,

Spring always brings amazing weather, green everywhere, flowers and butterflies ... but for ladies like us who love shopping Spring also means SALES!!!! I will be having several HAULs for the coming months, so I hope they are also your favorite type of articles just like me :)

Spring also means to me light body fragrances and a smooth skin and hair. Therefore who would resist sales from Victoria Secret and Bath and Body Works?? keep reading to see the products I purchased.

Beauty Review: Pig Nose Mask

Hello Beautiful Ladies !! 

I have been away for quite sometimes and it feels so good to be back. During the few months where I disappeared I was trying to focus a little bit more on my career as I was trying to work harder to achiever better results. I also was planning my trip to NY which included 2 weeks in Ithaca, NY in Cornell University working on some experiments for my PhD and a well deserved 3 days vacation in NYC. I'm still under the charm of the city that never sleeps and I'm already dreaming about my next trip. 

Enough talking about me, let's review today's product :*

Beauty Haul: Korean Products ...(Innisfree, Holika Holika, It's Skin, THEFACESHOP, SKINFOOD )

Hello Jamilates (Beauties in arabic), I've been fascinated like many of the bloggers by the korean skin care products because of their cute packaging and the many positive reviews published on blogs and youtube channels. I think Korean skin care products are really the trend so I decided to follow it and give them a try. Follow me to know more :)

Mothers’ Day Exclusive Invitation to a Beauty Evening at Sephora

There is nothing I love the most than being invited for girls/makeup evenings. They are always much fun with a lot of girls talks, makeup, manicures and more makeup. A deserved moment of relaxation that carries you away from life stress and responsibilities. Sephora is always spoiling its loyal customers by organizing gatherings for card holders to come and enjoy free beauty services and free gifts. To celebrate mother day, Sephora invited card holders to bring their mothers, daughters or sisters to enjoy the evening (I invited my friend as I'm living in KSA away from my family in Morocco). This is my second participation in a similar event and I think it is a total success, Follow me to have a little glimpse of the program. (if you want to know more about the first event click here)

Beauty Review: Bourjois Rouge Velvet Edition

I love matt lipsticks and I buy at least one of each matt edition I get my hands on and this to discover the "ultimate" MATT Lipstick. So obviously when I saw The Rouge Edition Velvet released by Bourjois I couldn't resist adding them to my collection.

Follow me to know what I think about them ...

February Empties (To buy or not to buy... That is the question!!)

I know it is already Mid- March and I'm a bit late but I'm sure you will forgive me if I tell you I was home enjoying my holiday and spending time with my family.
I normally never have any empties because I have several products that all do the same thing, but 2015 brought a new resolution which is to use my products and not to open any before i finish the half used ones. As a result this month I do have some products, not as much as I wished but enough to make me proud :)
Follow me to see which of the one I will be repurchasing and which I wouldn't.

Beauty Haul: Nails ...(Sephora, Huda Beauty, Ciate, X)

Hello LAdiez <3

This will be my shortest and quickest article ever because I'm writing it from the Airport. Yaaaay I'm on my way home (Morocco). I 'm staying for two weeks only but it is better than nothing right??? I feel I deserve a good relaxing trip like this after all the effort and hard work in my univ.


I have tons of nail polishes in different colors (Mostly colors I do wear) but as many would agree there is nothing like having too much nail polish. So here I go ...

Beauty Routine: Nail Care !!

Once every week I do take care of my nails and spoil them with a home manicure (I wish I could do this more often but I have no time). Using new nail polish every time is also a good motivation ;)

Find here a step-by-step guide on how I do take care of my nails. I keep the process simple and not much time consuming (There are so many things to do during the  48h weekend). This routine has been working for me since few months now.

Beauty Review: Refreshing Body Scrub

The Beauty Secret is a brand I have never heard about before coming to KSA. Its concept is very similar to The Body Shop: it offers perfumes, bath and body, fragrances, body scrubs and body butters...
So as a first experience, I decided to start with a body scrub: Straw-Berry with Walnut Powder.

Organic, Natural Mask: Damaged/Curly Hair

Hello Jamilates,

I spent years of my life trying to take care of my hair (after I completely traumatized it). Lot of chemicals, lot of expensive products and a lot of time consuming... Then I discovered that my hair thanked me only when I went simple, organic and natural.

I will share with you my own recipe along with information on each ingredient,

Let's get started :)

Exclusive Invitation to a Sparkling Evening at Sephora

Dear Jamilates,

This is my first article in my blog and to celebrate this what's better than a small overview of my first VIP evening. I was invited by SEPHORA MiddleEast to celebrate the opening of their brand new store in Jeddah. This women only celebration was the first of its kind in Jeddah and I was lucky to be part of the fun.
