Fake lashes- Duo Glue and FOOD

  • Fake lashes!! what can I say? I LOVE THEM! my favs are the ones by nicola from girls aloud!! so natural  i love them; perfect for day or night




  • fake lashes e6ali3 il make up
  • brings more attention to eyes
  • and no look is complete without them
  • they can instantly change make up from normal to WOW

wether its just eyeliner and fake lashes or heavy eye make up.. lashes to me are a must!

that being said, you need to have a good glue some thing that will make your lashes stay in place all day
and you dont have to worry about them

I use DUO, its so gooooooood just as good as patex,
 I've tried all the ones they sell in kuwait and they dont come close as good..
 once I have my lashes on i know they will remain on with DUO



the problem is that I cant find it in kuwait! I buy it from MAC counters overseas..

does anyone know if they sell it anywhere here??

also knt abi as2al itha a7ad mjrb one of those food centers ili they send your meals throughout the day
, im not on a diet its just that we dont have a cook o mali 5lg klshay a6lb mn mokan :P
 so it has to be tasty and does not make me loose weight!



O thanks ;*

Skin Diet- Vitamin C

On TheDoctors TV show, they mentioned that vitamin C brightens the skin and gives it a glow
I also saw that my soskin brightning serum is 20% Vit C
So i googled vitamin C and heres a short sentence:
 Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the formation of collagen, a major component of connective tissue.

= great glowing youthful skin needs alot of vitamin C!!

and I changed my diet ever since! :D

In the morning .. I make sure I drink a FRESH glass of orange juice



and then at lunch or dinner I take my emergen-c sachet of 100mg vitamin C and
24 nutrients with antioxidants * electrolytes * 7 B vitamis






 
 Emergen-C powder and water:
btw it doesnt taste so good but if you drink it daily you'll get used to it + it comes in different flavors, I prefer the bluberry



and as I mentioned yesterday.. through out the day I constantly re-apply my soskin





You can find Emergen-c everywhere in NY.. some places sell it for $12 others $14

My Whole Skin Care Routine..

This is what I use on my face.. If It has a * near the product name it means its prescribed by the DR!!

First I start off the day with the *Soskin cleanser, *Koko toner and *moisturizer I recently posted

And then...

after moisturizing I apply this DERMAdoctor picture porefect.. I got this from Sephora and I only apply it on my nose area and wait for it to dry.. it is somewhat effective and I think you can use this anywhere you have pores you want to minimize





later I apply *Soskin vitamin-C Brightness serum and reapply it throughout the day (always carry it in very my bag and apply every 1-2 hours) and this is my favourite skin care product.
Even though it says brightness I havenot noticed the brightness.. but It actually makes my skin feel so0o0oo0o0o soft!!!



then when Im back home I (cleanse and tone)

then apply a small amount of *retin A..youm o tark!  this peels off a layer of skin and usually makes my cheeks pink af if I have blush on




the next 2 products I use Once a week are;

Biore nose strips



and Dr.brandt microdermabrasion (any scrub)


and whenever my face is peeling alot from the retin-A i apply argan oil
(usually once a week to it acts like a deep moisturizer)




AND THATS IT!!

Simple Yet So Effective!! :D

Again, what works for my skin might not work for yours! Check with a dermatologist!! My DR knows about every product I use even if it wasnt prescribed from him

Prices?

Soskin cleanser is KD 11.300

Koko Tonic  KD 13 

moisturizer 5al6at il DR 27

DERMADoctor im not sure how much I got it for but I have seen it in INAYA pharmacy in kuwait and not sure of the price but I guess 20 something

Soskin Brightning serum is KD26

Retin-A KD 2

Biore nose strips KD 2.600

3 Steps To Beautiful Skin

Theres 3 steps any skin type must do each day in order to get the most of of their skin
which are:

Cleanse:  Im sure everyone cleanses ;p cleansing removes oil, any make up on your face and keeps your skin feeling fresh and clean


Tone :after cleansing your face, fill a cotton with your tonic and then gently pat the cotton on your face.
The toner removes excess oil and impurities.
active ingredients in toners are: salycilic Acid, glycolic acid, witch hazel...


Moisturize: After cleansing and toning your skin, your skin gets a little dry therefore you must moisturize afterwards. People with oily skin skip moisturizer and thats a big common mistaker , for people with oily skin, get an oil-free moisturizer (like the neutrogena ones)


What Im Using (these are all recommended by my DR.):

Cleanser:
Soskin fel cleanser with cucumber



Toner:
this is the KoKo one



Moisturizer:
my moisturizer is a 5al6ah made by my DR that is for my skin type



These are the MUST DO in every skin care, just make sure you find the right products for your skin type.

Dr. Isa Bachor And Gina

So I tweeted a few days ago how I got a wrinkle on my eyelid 
 anyway I kept calling my Dr (Dr bachoor), waiting for someone to cancel their appointment!

 luckily, when I called them on saturday, I got an appointment sunday (today)
 but the timing makaan mnasbnii so I told the secretary I cant wait abi 3l maw3d!
galatli maximum wait is 15 mins!!

Body foundations..

I don't get why some ladies wear body foundation. 
Theres so many reasons why I think its better not to apply it:

1) it usually doesn't match your skin tone making your skin look grey / achla7

2) when you sweat, your skin looks patchy

3)your dress will be covered in make up

imagine the view of your underarm area while you dance and lift your arms up ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Shower Filter

If you tried many useless ways to help stop your hair from falling, 
maybe its time to try a shower filter??



from the name it filters your water removing chlorine, preventing bacteria growth and keeps tiny pores of the skin from getting damaged, making it cleaner and tender.

All you need to do is attach it to your shower head.. as easy as that


shower filters are found at Alqanim or Eureka and prices vary.. I got the one worth KD10 (from alqanim) .. theres some over KD100

  • Chanel
  • M.A.C

What Did You Eat?

My lovely friend just told me about this fun site which I had to post and 

share about. 

Its about health, nutrition, fitness, diet and so on 

you can also find healthy recipes,track your fitness level and so much more



The thing that I loved most is the "my plate" section

Basically, every time you eat you log in and say what you ate, 

how much of it and at what time.. 

Then it tells you how many calories you ate at each meal 

etc..

do take a minute to check out the site www.livestrong.com ;D

Thankuu A ;*
