There are visibly trends in materials used in makeup products (and not only there, I guess). Lately, it’s been about Rose Gold. It’s everywhere! I’m not complaining, it’s a gorgeous precious metal… To be clear, most of the time, Rose Gold is just copper. But “Rose Gold” sounds so much better, doesn’t it? Did the beautiful Rose Gold packaging […]
Lip Lacquers 2014, my review
For 2 years now, there have been multiple launches of a new lipstick formula: liquid lipsticks. And no, I’m not talking about lip gloss or lip stains. I’m talking about lip lacquers here. Let me explain: Lipstick stains, they have been around for ages, but from a ‘coverage’ aspect, they are more a wash of color than something very opaque. […]
Why I’m not a fan of Real Techniques makeup brushes
Yes, I know, as a beauty blogger, it’s almost criminal to put this title… Beauty bloggers across the world are raving about Real Techniques makeup brushes, everybody knows that! I tried hard to love them, really. And to be very sincere, I really appreciate some of them and I use them almost every day. But in […]
Estée Lauder Sumptous Infinite mascara, my review
It’s been a while since I’ve had a nice mascara to introduce here! Enter the Estée Lauder Sumptuous Infinite mascara. Of course, I discovered the must-have by Max-Factor a few months ago, the False Lash Effect, which I repurchased since, in the waterproof version for this very wet and hot Dubai summer. I still adore it. But you […]
Benefit’s they’re real! push-up liner: eyeliner review
Clearly, Benefit is a winner given the buzz around its new liner: they’re real! push-up liner…
We’ve been hearing about it absolutely everywhere in the international beauty blogosphere!
It’s true that recently, eye-liner is THE trendy eye makeup. Since it’s not the easiest makeup gesture, and if a brand promises real cat-eye makeup in 2 seconds, of course, right away, it catches our attention!

New In: 2014 lipsticks (part 1), feat. Clinique Soft Matte & Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy
In summer, especially when I’m feeling lazy, I drastically reduce my makeup routine, and I often go for a bold lipstick. It’s easy and it immediately brightens the face, especially with a tan. A thin coat of your favourite BB cream, a little bit of mascara, and there you go! I will use this post to do […]
The secret of Kylie Jenner’s pouty mouth
Well, err, her makeup secret! About the rest, I can’t claim anything! wink After extensive research on all kinds of websites, I’m able to reveal it: the secret of Kylie Jenner’s pouty mouth is the intensive use of lip liner (she clearly overdraws her lip line with it). I know, I know, you expect some shocking revelations; […]
Where to find NARS in Dubai?
So, NARS is (re-)launching in Dubai…
I could see the degree of excitement last week when I was joking on my Instagram account about the NARS Dubai launch event.
I posted a photo of the Atlantis on the Palm, and a beautista friend asked me why I was there. To joke, I said I was there for the NARS launch event.
She called me right away! “Whaaaaat?” It still makes me laugh thinking about it…
Even though I had explained it was a joke in my comments section, I quickly had another message asking me if the launch was taking place…
OK, so NARS, let me tell ya: we’re waiting for you here in Dubai!
