Skincare - Face -MAC - Fix+
sharmeen 11/28/2006 3:48:00 AM
WOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....This stuff is amazing. It makes my skin look dewy and glowy. I have received several compliments on my skin after application. I usually spray this first all over my face and then moisturize my skin with STUDIO Moisture Cream and then end it with another spray. Honestly, ladies, get this - it's not just water - it's more than that!!! It refreshes your skin. Lovely product by MAC...simple but beautiful results!!! This is definately a keeper.

Blush -MAC - Peach Spritz Studio Mist blush
sharmeen 11/22/2006 1:35:00 AM
I went to MAC and asked one of the MAC Artists to help me choose one of the mists - I clearly told her that I don't want to look dark - as I am on the paler side and also not too fake. She adviced Peach Spritz - and showed me how to apply it to my cheeks - without looking weird. This looked amazing on my skin - and I bought it right away without even thinking twice. I usually spray a bit on the back of my hand and apply it with a 191 (Flat Square Brush). With downward movement starting from my temple. It gives an amazing natural glow look!!! You should definately go for this or any other AIR BRUSH that suits your skin type. I hope they keep it as their normal products and not just as limited addition item.

sharmeen 9/14/2006 4:35:00 AM
I got this as a gift when i was in College - honestly I don't even remember what it smelt like. I used it all - but I don't think I was a big fan of it that's why I don't even miss it!!! Although, I am a big big big fan of Christian Dior's J'ADORE. hmm yummy@@@

Hair Styling Tools -Conair - Professional Ceramic Straightener with 2 inches plates
sharmeen 9/14/2006 4:29:00 AM
This thing definately didn't work on me. Btw - I have long curly hair - and i like to get a straight frizz-free look sometimes but even the ceremic Iron doesn't work. I usually have to do lot's more than just ironing it. I have to blow dry it straight and then on top of my hair i use the conair ceremic straightner - to flatten it out a bit- it works only at that time. Such a waste of time + money.

Fragrances -Christian Dior - Poison
sharmeen 9/14/2006 4:20:00 AM
I have seen my mom using this perfume, and it smells really good on her. I guess this is more for an OLDER woman rather than for the younger one's. It's quite strong but doesn't stink or anything. It smells rather elegant and mature. Well...my point is that it suits Ladies who are above 40 years of age.

Fragrances -Christian Dior - j'adore
sharmeen 9/11/2006 5:26:00 AM
I can't believe that some people made rude comments about J'ADORE. It's my all time fav. perfume that I cud never get over of. All other perfumes give me a severe headache but this one lasts forever and smells sooo yummy on me. BTW i have received compliments left, right and centre - especially by men on the street or the elevators asking me what I have on. I remember once I was waiting for the elevator and one man asked me the name of my perfume as he wanted to get it for his GF (who was standing next to him). I have been buying this for the past 9 years now non-stop and i think this is one perfume i can never live without.

Lips -Vaseline - Vaseline
sharmeen 9/11/2006 4:34:00 AM
Ladies, You definately need to throw away your LIP BALMS, CHAPSTICKs, etc. and get your hands on this dirt cheap Product. I have been using this ever since I was a kid (my mom's tip for chapped lips). Anyways, I apply loads of it before going to bed when I wake up my full lips are nice and juicy and sooo sooo soo soft. Please girls use this every nite and see the difference. My lips thirst for Vaseline - after my lipstick is off - it's like they are drying up and just asking me to apply lot's of it. Hey...they become very kissable after. Enjoy ladies.

Lip Liners -MAC - Lipliner in Spice
sharmeen 9/11/2006 4:11:00 AM
This is indeed the best lip-liner in the world. Very neutral and can go with anything. It's MAC's best selling product. I have been using this since highschool and can't seem to get over it. I simply love this lip liner - the color is very neutral and I have my drawer stocked up with this liner - i have about 7 lip liners -same color -Spice - whenever anyone asks me what can i get you from MAC i tell them SPICE Lip Liner. So girls get urself this wonderful color and enjoy the natural look it gives you.

Fragrances -Guerlain - Insolence
sharmeen 9/11/2006 3:14:00 AM
I was roaming around the mall when one of the Sales Lady sprayed Insolence on me. Honestly, I loved it - I am the type who gets headaches from perfumes in just seconds. F.Y.I -I am a pure J'ADORE-Christian Dior die hard fan and I never change my perfume cuz other perfumes give me a headache. The smell is not too strong but subtle and nice. Although, I got this I still think J'ADORE is the best perfume that suits me. I hope I like INSOLENCE for a long time cuz it's pretty expensive and I am not in a mood to give it away. It's a sweet smell. Every skin type is different - some perfumes suit you and some don't. Insolence is not bad after all.

Polishes -Red Earth Cosmetics - Nail Enamel
sharmeen 9/11/2006 2:53:00 AM
RED EARTH is not expensive at all - especially their nail colours - they are very affordable. I bought mine for Dhs. 25 which is about 7 US DOllars only. the quality is good and also the collection of colours is amazing as well. I usually go for light shimmery shades. I definately think it's worth it. Go for it.

Highlighters -Bobbi Brown - Shimmerbrick Shimmer Brick Compact (All colors)
sharmeen 9/11/2006 2:33:00 AM
I wanted a glow for my cheeks and I read somewhere that the Shimmer Brick Compack from BOBBI BROWN does wonders to your face. Well, I saved up my money and spent almost 185 Dirhams and bought ROSY instead of Beige - although I wanted to get Beige it didn't as it gave my cheeks a weird look - like a white glow - i don't know why but it didn't suit me. Rosy gave my cheeks a nice subtle glow - and I loved it's finish on my cheeks. I would definately buy this again - but it's too damn expensive. I guess I would have to start saving again for the next one - I wonder how long this will last? But ya go ahead and buy one of these it's a MUST HAVE on a woman's vanity :)

I hate all AVON products - I don't like anything from them - although, I have tried many times to give them a chance - but they have always failed to impress me.
