Back to blogging!

After a two and a half year break finishing university, starting my first job and moving to the next. I am finally back blogging. I also had some family issues (my grandmother had suffered many health downfalls) and basically real life had taken over.

However fear not I am going to try and blog whenever the blog bulbs flash over my head!. A lot has changed in the past few years and so has the taste in my makeup. One make up brand that I have been lusting over is Charlotte Tilbury. Her makeup is very chic classy with a little edge I love the way she styles her makeup looks and is a good ambassador for British makeup brands.

My latest splurge has been the much talked about Lip cheat Lipliner in "Pillow Talk" and Kissing Lipstick in "B*tch Perfect". 

Let me just tell you, the texture of the lip liner is like butter and glides amazingly on the lips. I have naturally dry lips and have to work hard to apply lip liners and make them still look good. However this one worked with ease and blended beautifully giving me a (my lips but better) look. The lipstick packaging is also very glam and has a rose gold tint that does not seem to be picked up by my camera, I love whipping this out it just looks so expensive!

The lipstick has a cream yet pigmented finish and leaves a slight gloss giving the illusion of bigger lips which is always a plus.This lipstick also contains "Lipstick Tree" extract a tropical plant from America which helps protect the lips from UV damage. The colour is very build-able and can also work fine as a matte lipstick if you apply a little loose powder  on top to set.

I would describe "Pillow Talk" lip liner as a nude pinkish browny shade and a very wearable colour that would adapt to many skin tones and give a polished look. However the lipstick is has less pink tones and more neutral and peachy which work very well together. I personally like to over line the center of my lips just a little to give a fuller effect and it works wonders!

Over the years I have tried to steer towards products that are free of parabens due to many reasons so I was overjoyed when I read that this Lipstick was paraben free!

See below a full list of the ingredients for your information too. Please excuse the bent packaging they have been living in my bag ever since I got them :) 

I absolutely love these two gems and will definitely try and get my hands on some other pretty makeup items that I had my eyes on.

These lip products can be purchased at Selfridges and cost £23 for the "Kissing" lipstick and £16 for the "Lip cheat" Lip liner.

Let me know if you ave tried anything from Charlotte Tilbury and what you recommend!

As some of you May have realised I have been dry on blogging and its not due to be losing interest I'm just so busy I don't have the time to take photos of the things I use or like.

I do miss blogging though I love reading other peoples blogs I was inspired to a little update post like Sana and just mention a little about what I have been up to!

I am currently loving the Korres lip butter I got a few months ago I did a post on it before and I have to say it really does keep  my lips healthy and gives them a nice tint of healthiness to them too.

As far as my eating habits I have been pretty bad eating too many treats and not enough fruit and veg or water I don't know whats happening to me but I just seem to not like anything like that as much hopefully I'll get back to liking them again since my body reacts to eating bad food very quickly I notice my skin changing within 3 days when I drink more water.

I am an Arab and the current happenings in the middle east have allot of impact on me I m happy that Tunisia and Egypt are finally standing up to the oppression by their leaders and fighting for their rights may god be with them.

I haven't been buying anything much really but I have been enjoying all of what I have and rediscovering my makeup and skincare.

However in terms of skin care I have been OK exfoliating everyday has made a big difference in my skin I am contemplating whether or not I should get the Clarisonic I am tempted but the price tag keeps pulling me back and the fact that Space NK sell them doesn't help at all!

I have been enjoying looking after my feet I contracted a verruca from someones house DAMN IT but I have been following the instructions from my research and it seems to be going they are VERY PAINFULL! and it really annoys me because I have to take care not to touch it when I moisturise my feet.

I also recently started to wear minimal makeup and focus on making my skin look good rather than eyeshadow etc, using products like NARS Illuminator in the past I liked the MAC strobe cream but I find the strobe cream nice when I wear cooler scarfs they are both really good but if I feel really yellow and colourless I choose the NARS one.

For some reason I have developed a keenness to making guests to feel really comfortable at my home I feel like tings need to be perfect, I need to have specific things when people come over like the right appetisers, food and deserts some people may say its sad lol but I think its just my attention to detail growing. could it be  because I know one day I will be having my own guests and I want to be the hostess with the mostest? who knows but I think its fun and I love it when people make an effort when I come to their house and I have Friends who really do so why shouldn't I ?

Lastly on the note of hair removal I have to say that sugaring has been really good for me and I use it all the time now I used to find it annoying and tricky but will a little patience and determination you can get amazing results and its perfect I never use a razor EVER! and as a result I never get itchy under arms or legs that eventually get soar and irritated 

What has everyone else been up to?
