what's in my makeup bag?

Hi, I reached a point where I carry a lot of makeup in my bag that I don't even use, so I had to put most of it away and only keep the stuff that I use..

Revlon colorburst lip butter, Tutti Frutti

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer, Fair 

a face powder brush that I totally forgot where I got it from

Fa Sport travel size deodorant

Rimmel Stay Matte powder, Mohair

band-aids

Bag from Be Exclusive

5 products I currently use

Hello Girlies, today I'm posting about 5 products that I'm using at the moment, some of them I like and some of them I'm using just to finish up and never buy them again.

1. Body Shop shea eau de toilette This is my favorite scent from the Body Shop, it's a bit musky and clean, the only con is that I have to re-apply it like every 2 hours or so, I just ran out of my second bottle and I will purchase it again.

2. Garnier Light Brightening Eye Roller the main reason I purchased it is to reduce my under-eye circles but I didn't see any difference, I just can't wait to finish this one up and not repurchasing again.

3. Avon Foot Works It's like a gentle scrub for foot, it's nice and it wasn't expensive so I would repurchase again.

4. Rimmle Volume Flash I had this mascara for awhile and I forgot about it and I rediscovered it again when I looked through my collection, it's definitely a great mascara, it gives nice long thick lashes, I would purchase again.

5. Purederm nose pore strips If you follow me on Instagram you would know that I'm a HUGE Purederm fan and I love all their stuff, it has 6 strips but it last me almost 5 months, I went through a box and I have a backup.

Body Bakes haul

Hola folks, days ago I ordered few things from Body Bakes .. Body Bakes is an Egyptian brand for bath and body care products, all their products are made of natural ingredients 

Macaron soap set of 3 pieces each one smells very delicious 

Snatch they call it the paper soap that you can use on the go, I have it in my purse in case I needed to freshen up

Coconut soap  haven't tried it yet but I can't wait

Pumpkin Pie sugar frost scrub .. when I received my package I had to try this one out, it smells like sugar, lemon and pumpkin and it left my skin very soft. I really liked it but the only thing that I didn't like about it is that after I rinsed it with water my skin smelt like oil

4 overnight beauty products you should be using

Have you ever spent the whole night try to get some sleep because you have to wake up early, and you're like 'if I fall asleep now I'll get 6 hours sleep .. okay, if I fall asleep now I'll get 5 hours sleep' and after awhile you wake up look like Sh%@ ..and unfortunately, concealer and powder won't hide your tiredness

So, here's what the beauty expert Carly Woods from Se1girl has to say about that

When it comes to beauty sleep, I think we generally fall into two categories; those who have managed 8 hours of sleep a night and those who haven’t. For the ones who haven’t, they consequently have to do a darn good job faking it.

So, why does this happen? Simply put, sleep is an essential component to an effective skin care regimen, a time when our skin heals and repairs itself. Therefore, if you’re not getting enough sleep, your skin may start to suffer.

If you need help utilizing the small number of hours you do get or you want to ensure you are stretching your 8 hours as far as they can go, you need the right tools. There are specific night time products that can work in harmony with your skin’s renewal process. More than not, these products will be heavier and thicker consistencies. For this reason, washing your face in the morning is equally as important as washing it at night – you need to remove these heavy products or your skin may become congested.

1. Begin With The Base

First, I always recommend using a serum. Facial serums are used to address specific problems such as wrinkles, aging and brightness. Apply a few drops to clean skin and using your hands press the serum into your skin.

2. Add The Primer

Especially in the colder months, you want to follow step one with a layer of oil for added hydration. Plus, you will wake up with beautiful and plump skin.

3. Don’t Forget To Moisturize!

Lastly, simply apply a moisturizer.  My advice is to opt for a comforting and hydrating formula. I like to see it as a blanket; keeping in the goodness of the serum and oil.

4. Last But Not Least - Give Your Eyes Some Love

Don’t forget an eye cream! Try to use a powerful wrinkle reducing formula. Make sure you always use a very tiny amount; overloading the skin around your eyes with too much of a heavy product can cause puffiness and sometimes breakouts.

For extra credit...

On days when you have little to no time or just want to fall into bed, try an overnight facial. Now this doesn’t mean you have to lie still with your face up to ensure you don’t cover your pillow in product. You can use facial creams that are highly concentrated and you use like a serum or moisturiser for a powerful whack of goodness.

Sebamed cleansing foam review ..and more

Hello.. am so excited writing this post, I was supposed to write this post awhile ago but I wanted to give myself some time to test all the samples that I got.

Few weeks ago I was at the mall looking for new foundation and I saw a Sebamed counter, I didn't even know about this brand .It's a medical skincare German brand, so i thought why not give it a try and i bought the cleansing facial foam and I asked the lady on the counter for samples so i can try different products from that brand

Clear face antibacterial cleansing foam: i got the full size of it because i wanted a new daily facial cleanser, I love it cause it doesn't leave my skin dry, I use it everyday and sometimes i use it at night as well ..although it's a little bit pricey but I will definitely repurchase it.

deep cleansing facial toner: I liked that it doesn't have an overwhelming scent to it, i tried different toners and they all left my skin feel dry but this one is gentle on my skin 

anti hairloss shampoo: this product was a disappointment for me.. i didn't notice any difference and it smells so chemical 

liquid face and body wash: haven't notice a huge difference in my skin 

the body milk: I loved it very much, it's not greasy at all and my skin feels very smooth

hand+nail balm: the best hand cream ever! my cuticles are always chapped in winter but after few times of using it my cuticles are not chapped anymore!
