Hello everyone and welcome to my
blog. Can't actually believe that we are one step closer to enter month of August.
Frankly speaking, I had lots of roller coaster rides this month but thank god
it ended up the way I hoped. Today I'll be sharing my July monthly favorites as
I have lots of things really loved. Without further due, let's get started.
SKINCARE: starting with my biggest
obsession, I bought few products when I went to Dubai this Eid. If you would
like to know what I purchased from Dubai then you can check out my "Dubai
Shopping Haul" post. Out of these products, two products made a difference
to my skin. These products are:
i. SEPHORA Bubble Mask – I used this product twice and I noticed that it
clears out excess oil, removes blackheads, minimizes appearance of blemishes,
and brightens your face. I noticed all these on my skin within two weeks and my
mother complimented my skin every time I used this product. As crazy as it
looks but it does a great job on my skin. One thing I don't like about it is it
makes the face dry and tightens it. I recommend everyone, especially dry skin
types, to apply very strong moisturizer immediately after using this mask.
However I don't recommend girls with sensitive skin to use as it could irritate
their skin. Nevertheless I still love this product.
ii. NUXE Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm – As I mentioned in one of my blog posts,
my lips were extremely dry to the point it got tears because of weather and
fasting. To resolve this issue I bought this lip balm. To be honest in less
than a week I have seen major improvement on my lips. It moisturizes your lips
for a long period. Best times to use it is when you are chilling at home, when
you wake up, and several hours before going to sleep. I highly recommend using
it if you are suffering with dry lips.
MAKEUP: Since wedding season has
started, I have been experimenting with lots of makeup products. Out of all
products I have been using, these four products stood out the most:
A.
Sigma Brow Powder (Medium) – Lately I stopped using brow pencils and eye
brow gels to define my brows. Instead I started using brow powder that has two
shades, light and dark. Ever since I started using it I immediately fell in
love with it. This product gives a natural look to the brows that is wearable
in every occasion. Everyone has been complementing my eye brows saying that it
looks really beautiful. The price is affordable and I strongly suggest you buy
it.
B.
Lubi Lashes (Royal) – Mink lashes have become so popular in the makeup
industry and there are many Omani brands that are specialized in making Mink
Lashes. Therefore, I decided to get mink lashes from most popular Omani brand:
Lubi Lashes. These lashes are dramatic, lengthy, and have a cat-eye style. They
are easy to wear, add drama to the eyes, long-lasting, and can be used more
than 20 times. Moreover, they look great in photos and many people have
complemented me when I wore them. It can get uncomfortable at first but later
on you get used to it.
C.
Clinique Pressed Powder – Moving on to the face, I have been using this
face powder in every hangout and occasion. This powder has light and natural
coverage which I was looking for. In addition to that, it brightens my face,
corrects my imperfections, and lasts about 4-6 hours. Moreover it makes my face
really beautiful in photos. However, without face primer the powder does not
last more than 3 hours which I found a little disappointing. Nevertheless I
love it and highly recommend all skin types to use it.
D.
Kat Von De Liquid Lipstick (Lolita 1) – in my previous blog post I talked
about KVD's liquid lipstick (Bow & Arrow) and how much I love it. Because
of that, I decided to get their most popular lipstick shade which is called
Lolita. This shade is so beautiful that it suits all skin tones. It adds drama
to the lips and it is compatible with both bold and natural eye makeup. If
there is one lipstick shade I would recommend everyone to try out it would be
this lipstick and this exact shade.
PERFUME: On month of April, I
purchased this perfume from Guerlain and saved it for special occasions. The
perfume is called "Santal Royal". This is a uni-sex perfume that
consists of combination of Oud and French scent. In addition, the scent is musk
and strong. Moreover, it lasts for a long period of time. I strongly recommend
giving it a try.
CANDLE: Sticking to the scents
category, I also loved this candle from Bath & Body Works. The candle is
called "Dark Kiss". It is one of their permanent and signature
collections, it also happens to be their bestseller. The scent is very unique
as it has a combination of both sweet and floral. Moreover, it lasts for a good
period of time and makes your room smell so beautiful. If you are a candle
lover then you will definitely love this candle.
BOOK: In this month I read two
books, a novel and a documentary. Surprisingly I ended up loving the
documentary which is called "The Answer is Love". It is an Arabic
book written by Karim Al-Shazly, who is an Egyptian author and writer of
bestselling book called "To Lovers". This book consists of 20
different issues that most couples face in their marriage. It also explains how
to resolve and deal with these issues. The writing style is amazing, brief,
easy to understand, and very optimistic. This is a must for those who are
engaged or married.
MOVIE: This month I watched 3
movies in the cinema and out of these movies I loved "The Conjuring
2". It is a horror movie that involves paranormal activities conducted by
demons and exorcism. I will not spoil you about this movie, but I must say that
it was really scary. I loved the story, content, and special effects of this
movie. If you love horror movies then you have to watch this movie.
GAME: Lastly I would like to end
this post with one of my all time favorite PS game, "The Last of US
Remastered". I played this game before when it was released in PS3 then I
borrowed the PS4 version and started playing it again on a Grounded Level. It
also consists of additional story which makes the game even better. If you want
to know why I love this game, then check out my "All Time Favorite PS
Games" post from Favorites category.
This is it! I've had lots of
favorites for this month. Thank you all for reading this post and I truly hope
that you enjoyed it. Don't forget to share it with your friends and follow me
