The one with my top foundations

31 July 2017



I love make up in any shape or form, I love how you can enhance your already existing features, and why not transform yourself, paint on those cheekbones sister! Life is too short!
For me, since I first started wearing makeup, or should I say, discovering the world of makeup, it was all about glowy and radiant skin. To this day, I often do my base and I just skip the eyes completely, it looks so fresh and natural.
In this post I’m going to show you my top foundations that I absolutely love.


Out of the four I’d say that this one is my most-used at the moment. The coverage is very light , but it gives so much glow it practically leaves the skin looking glossy. And if you know me, you’ll know that I’m all about that dewiness since I have super dry skin. I have the shade 1 fair, perfect for wintery days, but I’m tempted to get a darker shade for the summer time, although I can still get away with it by adding a bit of bronzer.


This one is so popular, I had to get one!
I would say it has a medium coverage, although I’m pretty sure you can build it up to a full coverage. For me, it’s definitely not my daily go-to, because I require something with a little more dew. It has something about it witch is luminous but without shine. It creates that lovely flawless look without ever looking heavy or dense. I use it in shade 2.
Fun fact: It does photograph beautifully, I wore it in my katbktab and it looked amazing in pictures and also in real life.


This was my first ever high-end foundation, I don’t use it as much lately, but it’s definitely an everyday kinda base. It leaves a sheer tint on the skin that just evens everything out and it does so whilst being extremely undetectable. I have the shade B10, perfect for summer, and I just mix it with my LancĂ´me concealer in the winter time.


The best drugstore foundation out there, it has a gel formula witch I’m obsessed with, amazing for dry skin! I have the shade 51, perfect for summer but a little bit too dark for me in the winter time.


What are your favorite foundation of all time? 

The one with me in a T

5 July 2017


There’s not much of a ‘story’ behind this post, just a quick stroll around medina with my beautiful friend Maroua, taking pictures, soaking up the sun, sweating, having a laugh, and taking pictures again.


WHAT I WORE:

T-SHIRT: Shana (can't find it) | TROUSERS: Zara (similar here) | SANDALS: Zara (on sale now) | HANDBAG: Parfois (bought it in the sale a month ago)


I’m not a t-shirt wearer usually, since I always feel like it’s not the most flattering style on me. I mostly go for something that fits my upper body and hits right at the smallest part of my waist to accentuate my hourglass figure.
And since this T is kinda baggy, I just tucked it in my high waist Zara trousers that I love to create that little waist thingy! Although, I must say, all my trying to cinch up the waist went out the window since it was so windy, and I basically looked like a puffed up balloon all afternoon.


I guess summer dressing is all about comfort and staying cool, And I seriously felt like I am in my PJs all the time. I’m glad it didn’t look bad at all.


Also I’m going through a phase, no eye makeup, I do my skin, and I just leave the eyes bare, and I don’t know why I love it so much. Looks super natural!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you're having a great week so far !
