Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - EXTRA VIRGIN Coconut Oil (All brands)
RangeenHaseena 12/4/2010 10:36:00 PM
me: Thin, frizzy, curly hair--prone to breakage. . Using coconut oil about 2ce a week, applying it at night, washing it in the morning (TWICE! one wash won't get rid of it!) equals stronger, shinier hair. I've been doing this for many weeks now, and it's fabulous. My hair's all bouncy and soft and lovely and it doesn't break much now (before, every single day my hairbrush would be covered with broken hair strands) . . HG FOREVERRRRR :)

Um. What to say? Nothing special, nothing bad. Mediocre, but pleasant and likeable enough.

Fragrances -Valentino - Rock n Rose
RangeenHaseena 12/1/2010 5:17:00 PM
I guess boring is a good word for this. But it's not bad. . A gentle, candied rose with a nice muskiness--nothing gothic or mysterious, just a mild, pleasant aroma and one that I LOVE, especially when my mom puts it on. In fact, i usually ASK her to put it on cuz it's such a sweet pleasant smell on her. . Don't expect anything interesting, it's just mild and pretty and, yes, DULL. . But in a good way. Sometimes you don't want perfume to make a statement, you just want to walk in a cloud of something comforting and pretty all day. . The Arab sales guy was genuinely in love with this, you could tell he probably bought his wife a bottle, and he gave us a huge discount too! For no reason other than we were enchanted by it same as him and struck up a conversation about family life. (The advantages of buying 'fumes in the middle east is they give you discounts if they like you, even if technically that's unprofessional...) :) hehehe

Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Alien

no offense to whoever loves this and wears this, but personally.. i think it smells like dirt with used cigarettes mushed in, a few drops of nail polish remover, and a few crushed flowers to take it from "absolutely disgusting" to "mildly vile." . yuck times a million.

Mascara -Rimmel - Sexy Curves
RangeenHaseena 11/26/2010 10:50:00 PM
personally i love this. it's buildable and the effect is like false lashes or natural, depending on the coats. 2 or 3 is very dramatic, but one coat is good for natural.

Fragrances -Juicy Couture - Fragrance

My cousin was walking past me and smelt so incredibly beautiful & delicious, like a piece of heaven, i was like OMG i have to get that perfume. so she told me what it was, and i got it and i love it. just a little bit is enough, otherwise it's headache-inducing cuz it's so strong. So only 1 spray is enough. . in the beginning it's like an overblown floral+fruit cocktail, bleh. then after the drydown like sugar, gardenia or tuberose, and whipped cream with vanilla in it. doesn't that sound amazing? i think the people who dislike this should wait for it to settle, cuz when it does it becomes lovely and soft and comforting. on my skin, it is at least. . usually my chemistry doesn't work with soft and comforting perfumes, for example dior's pure poison smells like an artificial toxic mess on me, but this one is an exception. . my mom, who has these high class tastes, she's fond of vintage perfumes and she has VERY expensive tastes, and one of her favourites is the same one that Princess Grace Kelly loved--well, she took one sniff of the perfumed wrist I extended, then turned to me with an ecstatic smile to exclaim: "IT'S TO DIE FOR!" so yeah :) i take that for what it's worth, from my most trusted source :) . for reference, other fragrances I love include Diorissimo (LOVE but it fades away too soon on me :(), Flowerbomb, Opium, Burberry Brit, Dior Poison.

Fragrances -Thierry Mugler - Angel
RangeenHaseena 11/24/2010 6:57:00 PM
hate this. it's a mess of a fragrance, in my opinion. it smells obnoxious, arrogant, and gross. . if i smell this on someone else, i can smell them from a distance of about 2 meters. that's really not good. my initial reaction is to want to walk away from them, or avoid their company as much as possible. . HOWEVER i know this ONE girl and it works beautifully on her, it may be a body chemistry thing, but honestly it smells great on her. she smokes during breaks, and then she puts this on to "cover" it up, but it smells really nice on her. i dunno why. but she's the exception cuz on most people this REEKS in a bad way.

Lips -Revlon - Just Bitten Lip Stain
RangeenHaseena 10/24/2010 11:41:00 PM
Love this. I have this in Crave. it's like a purple/plum type colour but it goes reddish on the lips. . it looks very natural on me because of my colouring. my lips go red if i'm crying or in the cold. or if i ate something spicy. . So i got this yesterday and i used it yesterday and today. it was so good! all day, it didn't come off! i had to wipe it off with a paper towel by rubbing it. it looked so pretty and it's so convenient to have. . I think it's one of the best products I have used. this, and benefit high beam, and the cream eyeliner my cousin got me. . there's a slight tingle when u use it initially. you should wait maybe 1 minute before applying gloss or balm on top, in my opinion. otherwise it wouldn't have completely dried. i recommend everyone to get this if they like natural looks with a punch! xoxo

Lipstick -Revlon - Matte Lipstick - Nude Attitude
RangeenHaseena 5/17/2010 7:15:00 PM
I tried this following all the steps (moisturize, lip balm, dab it on, lipgloss on top). Guess what. It still looks bad. It's the pigmentation that's at fault. Also, the texture is GRITTY. It balls up in areas no matter how much you moisturize. The colour is only so-so. Overall: SUCKS. i don't get the hype.

Moisturizers -Unlisted Brand - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
RangeenHaseena 5/17/2010 2:21:00 AM
hmm..i love this stuff. I use Abazeer Olive Oil which is handpressed and absorbs really well. Some doctor recommended it to my mom as part of a treatment for asthma, or something like that. My brother's supposed to take a swig from it every day, apparently it helps his lungs or respiratory system.. who cares. . anyway, i stole a bottle and use it on my face! Sometimes i do a facial massage with it {there's a really good japanese one i learnt...it's on youtube...search for "japanese massage tanka english"}. It absorbs faster than most creams, it leaves a "smoothness" and radiance.. . I'm sure there's many other brands like that, but even the most expensive Extra Virgin Olive Oil i got from the grocery store BROKE ME OUT :( and made me look greasy, whereas the Abazeer one just soaked right in. So i guess it depends on the quality. If you can find proper quality EVOO, whether from Greece, or Italy, or whatever country, just make sure it's a good company...I think you will see good results. But not all EVOO is the same, so do look for a good reliable company. I think health food stores are better than grocery stores for this stuff, because there is a better variety available. i got Abazeer oil from a health food store in Saudi Arabia, but i bet there are loads of good ones available to everyone...just have a look.

Lotions/ Creams -Aveeno - Daily Moisturizing Lotion
RangeenHaseena 5/17/2010 12:33:00 AM
I feel like this just coats the outside of the skin, but doesn't penetrate and moisturize. It will leave my skin feeling soft, but won't actually be doing anything beyond the very surface. ~ I've been using it for ages now, on my face as well as hands and legs. The truth is, it's just average. I mean it balls up if I rub at it, and that's a sign that it's not really penetrating the skin. {i feel like it's causing breakouts on my forehead, but not sure yet.}

Eye Shadow -Almay - Intense i-Color powder shadow Trio for Browns
RangeenHaseena 5/14/2010 6:39:00 PM
In a word: MEH. Like Afridi's batting performance today. :( . SUCKS and the colours all blend together by themselves into one boring pale brown shade.. I don't get why it exists. Sure, the companies want to make money, but what do the customers get? A chalky, barely-pigmented cosmetic that doesn't do what it claims. Stupid mindless waste of money...I could've used that on a charity or some far worthier m/u item.

Moisturizers -Olay - Olay Complete - Fragrance Free
RangeenHaseena 5/8/2010 6:09:00 PM
This makes me break out. I used this a pretty long time before giving up on it. When i apply it my skin gets a mild "stinging" feeling...it feels weird... not to mention i get pimples afterwards... All in all: would NOT recommend. would NOT re-buy. Aveeno moisturizing lotion and Nivea cream are the only moisturizers that work for me so far.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express The Colossal Waterproof

Tip: I kind of "bend" the wand a bit by pushing it against the tube so it's slightly curved. This way it fits the shape of eyes better. Anyway this is great and i prefer it to Lash Blast.
