The one with my winter outfits and a serious Fargo discussion

24 January 2018

Tanger, Maroc

QUESTION (Dwight’s voice): did you or did you not watch Fargo based on my recommendation in my previous post?

I don’t think this series is everyone’s cup of tea, I made my husband watch the first episode and he was like “I can’t! I can’t! How can you watch this?” I’ve never seen him more creeped out in my life! Hamas on the other hand was more open to the idea of maybe giving it a go, but apparently people getting killed in movies gives her nightmares and she too much of a feminist to be okay with a guy killing his bully wife with a hummer. I explained to her later that she’s the only woman who gets killed in the series and there is a lot of men who do, but I don’t think she was sold on it, I don’t think she’s ever going to watch it.

Don’t know why everyone is so sensitive, it’s a dark comedy for Pete’s sake! (What everyone keeps saying in the series, still don’t know who Pete is though!)

I assume most people who read my blog come from my Instagram, so I think you already saw these outfits, but I thought I will share them here anyway. I was going to link everything like I always do, but I couldn’t find most of them anymore, everything is on sale, or was on sale and no longer exist! So sorry about that! I still hope you are going to enjoy the outfits and maybe it will inspire you in a way.

The one with my makeup bag essentials

21 January 2018

What’s currently floating my boat…

Hello ladies! And gents maybe.. ? I just finished watching Fargo season 1, OMG! I Can NOT believe I didn’t watch it before, where was I? Sometimes I feel like I’m one of the village people! Mind blowing! Now to be honest I’m kinda hesitating whether I should watch season 2 or not! I mean how can you top that? We all know what happened with true detective! I got a text from Hamas this morning at 5 am letting me know that Grace and Frankie are back (best friend goals), so I guess I have some time to think about it. Hemm.. Tough decisions..

For this post I was inspired by Lily Pebble's video: “the only makeup products you need” where she shows us what are her makeup bag essentials, and I thought I would give you a peak into my makeup bag essentials.

Starting off with the primer, the charlotte tilbury Wonder glow is my favorite at the moment and it feels very hydrating on my dry skin, I often mix it with my foundation as well for that extra glow. For foundation I picked the Georgio Armani luminous silk foundation for obvious reasons, I mean.. Who doesn’t love it? Also my skin hasn’t been great lately, and I can really use the extra coverage this foundation gives. My concealer is the one that I’ve been using for the last 6 to 7 years: Lancôme long-lasting softening concealer! I don’t think I’m ever going to try another one because I just don’t need to. It’s weird that it’s not popular in the beauty community, I never hear anyone talking about it, but it’s so good!

I almost never powder or set anything, because I’m really into the dewy look and tbh my skin is just too dry, but if I have to, my go to powder is always the charlotte tilbury one, it is literary the best powder out there.

Moving on to contour and highlight, I’ve been really enjoying lately the charlotte tilbury filmstar bronze and glow in the shade fair-medium, the sculpt powder is not at all orangy, which is perfect for me if I don’t want to use a bronzer and a contour powder, this basically does the job of bronzing a little bit and definitely contouring my chubby cheeks, the highlight is also beautiful, I mean, I still prefer the Becca one, but this one is not bad at all.

For blush I have what I literally used for the last 4 years: Nars Douceur blush, I’m almost out, and I will definitely repurchase, it’s just a very sophisticated color. Urban decay’s naked 3 palette is my go to, no doubt, and they’re real! Benefit mascara is just phenomenal! Can’t go wrong with that!
For my lips I have two choices depending on the mood: my fav Clarins instant light natural lip perfector and Fenty beauty’s uncensored stunna lip paint for a bolder choice. Both gorgeous!

Thank you for reading, let me know what are your makeup bag essentials?

See you soon xoxo

Hello Hello! Long time no see! I know, I know, you missed me! ( … Anyone?)

To make a long story short, my computer crashed, and now it’s fixed!

Today’s post is just a quick OOTD, Pretty simple but the velvet nautical cap adds a little something something to the whole outfit and make it more of a fun and different look.

I’ve been really into accessorizing lately, whether it’s a hat or some huge statements earrings! It basically transforms any boring outfit, which is amazing! Right?

WHAT I WORE:

Everything zara! obvi where else

Thank you for reading and have an amazing rest of the week!

5 reasons why I love it when it’s cold

21 October 2017

The summer is alright, I mean, I wouldn’t say I hate it, with a passion, I’ve been told ‘hate’ is a strong word, but it always gets too hot and sweaty, specially here in Morocco, and the next thing you know, your makeup's dripping off, and then you're desperately wishing for it to be over, am I right or am I right?!

Here are 5 reasons why I freaking love it when it’s cold:

Your make up slays all day:

Let’s be real here, no matter how many ‘heat proof makeup’ tutorials you watch, whatever primer or fix bla bla bla you’re using, your make up is going to crease and eventually smear off! You can never work with a sweaty face, and that ladies, is a FACT! But now that it’s getting a little bit cooler, my face stays pretty much the same after hours and hours and this makes me so happy!

You get to stay at home more:

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I’m such an introvert; and since people generally tend to spend less time outside in this glorious weather, I don’t really have to explain myself all the time when I stay at home. This weather totally makes me want to stay at home curled up in my bed and watching a good movie.

No mosquitoes:

For a very long time I’ve been bragging that I never get bitten by mosquitoes, but this summer, it was a different story, I don’t know what happened? They really made up for all the years that they’ve been leaving me alone! But now that it’s getting a little bit cooler, it’s kind of over! They’re not around as much anymore, I don’t know what happens to them though, do they die and go to hell?! Maybe I should google it… You know what? I don’t care! For now, I’ll live in peace.

Clean air:

Aaaahh clean crisp wintery air is my favorite type of air! Obviously! I love breathing in the cool, fresh air; there’s nothing quite like it for making me feel alive.

Sweaters and ankle boots:

Right?

WHAT I WORE:

JACKET: Stradivarius | TOP: Stradivarius | UMBRELLA: Mango (similar here) | HANDBAG: Parfois

The one with the perfect autumnal look #FOTD1

19 October 2017

I did it people! I chopped it all!

Well not all, but I did get a long bob or a LOB if you’re one of the cool kids. And you know what? I love it! I feel good, I feel free and I feel like a whole new person.

I was just getting tired of my very unhealthy long hair, and I thought this might help, and you know what? It did, I was right! For once J

But this post is not about my hair, it’s about this very easy beautiful autumnal look. I posted a few pictures of this look on my Instagram last week, and I got a lot of question about the products I used, and even requests for a tutorial, witch by the way, I tried to do multiple times but I failed miserably! I just don’t know how to edit the damn thing! Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon.

This look is all about a one Copper eye shadow Smokey eye, with bushy eyebrows, thanks to my dad, and a nude lip.

Since I have very hooded eyes, I love applying this coppery goodness very heavily along the bottom lash line as well as on the entire lid. I don't use too many black accents such as black eyeshadow or liner just because I want the look to be more about the copper shadow, so it’s more noticeable and striking, and because I’m lazy AF too.
