Haul:Slip On Shoes

Online shopping has never been easy here in Saudi Arabia. Yeah I admit, when it comes to shopping I tend to be very impulsive without thinking twice whether to buy this or that. When I was in Philippines, I always browse online (multiply.com) for beauty products and use my Paypal account to pay for that and it sucks because sometimes Paypal can be annoying and going to bank to pay for the amount is quite tiring also. I just wish there's an COD in Philippines so that its more comfortable and easy to shop online!

Anyhow, we "sisters" aka Nurse here in Saudi our only relax time and fun time is to browse and shop online because after a tiring duty all you want to do is to relax and sometimes think go shopping (?). Where we are staying is way too far from our current civilization compared to Jeddah, Riyadh and Makkah you can go outside without wearing face mask and enjoy your shopping day but here its so sad that every time we go out its a must that we wear our face mask. Also, the sad part, we don't have malls in here! :( We do have small stores and the brands that they sell are not known. Until one day, I discovered this online shop called "sukar.com" which the items are from Turkey but I did not purchase yet because I was holding back myself and told myself that, "no, you shouldn't shop online but instead save your salary" but I just can't help it. I ordered bags, watches and etc. The website does offer flash sale which means items are quickly sold out because of the low prizes. I bumped in to another website called, "namshi.com" which is based from Dubai, UAE and the very good part is COD. How cool is that?! So in this website I bought my very first 2 pairs of slip-on shoes because aside from the fact that they come in true to size, its also affordable!

First Pair is from Ginger- size 39
This must be the one I'm looking for! It's soft and I like the color because its neutral, perfect for everyday use!
*credits to namshi.com for the photos*

Second Pair is from British Knights- size 39
I ordered this plaid one because I do like patterns like this. Sometimes its good to step outta the box!
*credits to namshi.com for the photos*

So that's it for my haul post. I'm sorry if there were no actual photos its just because everything is a mess right now specially that we are going to transfer in our new hostel so our things are here and there. :)

Dream Catcher Necklace

Hooray! Second blogpost for August 2. I really don't post that much because I'm lazy when it comes to drafting but I feel like this month is full of energy and I want to update my blog as much as possible because I know when I already have work I will not be able to blog as much as I can so I'm enjoying every single day that is left while still here in Philippines.

Anyhow, this post is all about fashion accessories that is quite in the trend and this is called Dream catcher. So what is dream catcher? Dream catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them. -http://www.dream-catchers.org/

I saw this dream catcher from Rhea Bue, fashionista from the South (Zamboanga City)and I tell you she's my current fave fashion blogger because I just like her style, just can't explain how I want to be with her during her photo-shoot. I'm also hoping to meet her someday so yeah I don't wanna lose my hope for that. The particular blogpost that I saw it from was from this link http://bebe-doll.net/inspiration-week-2/. Then on July 31, an online shop messaged me on my facebook page telling me to like her facebook page and upon checking her page I saw dream catcher necklaces! I totally and literally screamed because of the cute dream catchers they sell specially the color combination. Here are some of my picks from the shop:



Don't you just love those? I'm in love! <3 You can also customize your own dream catcher depending on what color combinations you want to. I will have mine next week and I have the combination of orange and purple because I'm a sucker for these colors. The owner of the shop was really kind because she offered me good deal and I can't wait to get mine next week. I'm not a fan of necklace but this has to be an exceptional. Please check out their online shop @ Shop o' Jewels and tell them I send you :)

Wishlist-Skin Care, Makeup Brushes and etc.

Hey girls! I feel like its been a long time since I posted on my own blog. Sorry for not much of blog posts recently because of some personal issues I am going through but rest assured I am fine, nothing to fret about. If you have been following me on my INSTAGRAM then you would probably know that I posted real techniques powder brush and yes I bought it just just because I've been wanting for a powder brush for so long plus I want to try real techniques brushes because of some hype I've been reading/watching through videos and blog. 

I bought the brush from SIS or stuff in style from multiply and they have the affordable and reasonable prices ever! Usually, real techniques brushes ranges from 600+ to 800+ but the powder brush I bought from them was only 550, very much affordable! I was really happy that I bought one from real techniques because it was on my wishlist. If you're wondering what the powder brush looks like, it looks like this...


Another item that I really want to have is the Krave Minerale's Oil Eliminator. Ever since this came out and read good reviews on it, I told myself that I should give it a try because I have really oily skin I need a product that will lessen oil production all throughout the day. I bought mine at Skye Avenue for 285 only.


These already came but I have it delivered at my cousin's address because I will be bringing these with me this August 15 going to Saudi Arabia.

[Guest Post] Fashion Do’s and Don’ts during the Rainy Season

The rainy season shouldn’t stop you from being in style! There are things you can only wear during this season that will look fashionable so take advantage of it! Before you head out and brace the storm in style, here are some fashion do’s and don’ts you need to remember.

  • Do wear bright colored clothes. The rainy season is a gloomy season. Bring life to your ensemble by wearing bright colored tops or jackets. Have fun with red, yellow, orange, pink, and other attractive colors! Eye-popping rainy day accessories like scarves and shawls will also add the striking contrast you need in your wardrobe. 

  • Don’t wear white pants. Put your white pants on closet arrest during the rainy season. Unless you’re going for a muddy splatter-filled look, white pants do not belong to this season’s fashion. With pools of water everywhere you go, you’ll only stain your white pants if you decide to wear them. Don’t risk it. The hassle of removing mud stain is not worth your time and effort if you could’ve otherwise avoided it. 

  • Do wear boots. Rainy season is the only time of the year when boots get the spotlight. There are a lot of cool fashionable boots you can wear while weathering the storm in style. Jelly rain boots come in different quirky colors that can spice up your look! If you really want to be protected and still look trendy, go for edgy platform boots. 

  • Don’t wear heavy clothing. You will most likely get wet during the rainy season. The last thing you want is to be soaked in heavy clothes that will take a long time to dry. As much as possible, avoid wearing jeans most especially when you know you’ll walk through some flooded areas. But if you’re a true-blue jeans person, you can fold it until just below the knee like capri pants. You’ll still look fashionable without sacrificing the practicality of your outfit. 

  • Do keep a classic trench coat. You’ll never go wrong with a trench coat during the rainy season. You can go bold with bright attractive trench coats or go classy with black or earth colors. Either way, it’s an essential and perfect rainy season wear that should be a staple in your closet. In addition, if you’re mulling over the length of your trench coat, go for short ones—those that extend just within knee length or a little over above it. A full body trench coat will be heavy on the bottom part when it gets wet. 

  • Don’t use material that won’t survive the rain. It’s suicide to wear suede when it rains. Your suede shoes and bags will most likely be ruined. Leather is not water-proof. Unless you put a protectant on your leather shoes, then that’s the only time you can wear them. You can be chic without putting your valuable shoes and bag at risk of wear-and-tear. Try other materials like rubber or pleather (i.e. plastic leather) which can be fashionable, too! Fashion knows no season. You can face the rainy season with a trendy mix and still be practical at the same time. Don’t be afraid to dress up during drizzle days! It’s fun to explore different clothes and layers that will keep you warm and make you look stylish at the same time.

NYX BLL Pumpkin Pie Review

I've always been looking for coral lipstick ever since I got hooked into makeup. I love anything that is coral especially orange. Orange is my favorite color of all the colors out there. And I know that in some parts of the world, orange is always in trend during summer season just like last year and this year where this orange ruled again. I don't know what's really in color orange but it really attracts me. Let me tell you why I love orange.
Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. It is said to increase the craving for food. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Orange means vitality with endurance. People who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere. Lady luck's color is orange. (source)
The most flamboyant color on the planet! It's the color tied most this fun times, happy and energetic days, warmth and organic products. It is also associated with ambition. There is nothing even remotely calm associated with this color. Orange is associated with a new dawn in attitude. (source)
So now I know why I love orange. <3 

Back when I was in Manila, I was sent products by Dee Tan, owner of Skye Avenue. Dee sent me 4 items to review and so far I've only review the NYX Xtreme Lip Cream review out of the 4 items she sent me. Finally, I will be reviewing NYX's black label lipstick in the shade of Pumpkin Pie.

Krave Minerale Haul

I finally gave in to Krave Minerale products. I'm really not a fan of mineral or organic products because I have this feeling that it won't really work that well. But I've heard some feedback that mineral is actually good for your skin because there are not much of chemicals as part of the ingredients and it also let your skin breathe. I already have mineral products that I won from Sara Hassan's Blog that was sponsored by Mineralissima but I haven't use them yet. The reason also why I don't like mineral products is that its too messy when using them, they get all over the place which is for me a waste of product.

Last week I just woke up and had this urge to buy skin care products but I don't know which one to try. I browsed Krave's Fan Page in facebook and read lots of reviews about there products telling this and that. I really want to convince myself from what I read but NO, I still search and read more about Krave's products and when I'm finally convinced, that's the time I will buy. *The perks of having Paypal*

I have combi/oily, sensitive skin which is why the reason that when I buy skin care of makeup products, I want to make sure that it'll last on me and not just throw it away with few use because of allergic reactions. I admit that sometimes when my impulsiveness overlap my ego I can't stop myself but really need to buy that certain product. I want a skincare product that I can say it's my HG and the one I'll keep on buying because of best result. So I went to Skye Avenue online shop on multiply and bought my two Krave Minerale products which are Cupine Aloepa facial wash and Antizit Splash toner. I was supposed to buy four products from Skye Avenue but Paypal was acting up that time so I ended buying two items only :( I was not satisfied of what I bought, I went to Krave's multiply and bought Correct and Conceal mineral concealer.

Farewell Giveaway [CLOSED]

So I have this giveaway running on my YouTube giveaway for 2 months now but noticed that there weren't a lot of participants joining and to think it is open international. I though it would be a good idea to move this giveaway from YouTube to a blog giveaway so that my readers can join for those who doesn't have YouTube account.

As you can see its title, Farewell Giveaway. Yes farewell because I know that by July I will no longer be here in Philippines and will be flying to other country, Saudi Arabia, which is not new to me because I was born in Saudi, specifically in Jeddah but the city where I am going to be assigned is pretty new to me because I've never been there.

Right Swimwear For Your Body Shape



Choosing the right swimwear for your body shape:

Shopping for swimwear can be daunting for any woman. Even when you’re toned, waxed and evenly tanned, venturing under the bright lights of the department store changing-room can be an unforgiving experience.

Why not cut out half of the guesswork this season and shop like a swimwear pro with this guide to choosing the right swimsuit style for any body shape.

Fuller bust

If you have a fuller bust it’s important to buy women’s swimwear that offers enough support to be comfortable and flattering. Most current swimwear designers offer a plus-sized bust range of swimwear that’s more flattering on a larger chest than the classic triangle bikini.

It’s also a good idea to consider thick, padded straps as they offer more comfort than the traditional string-tie. This summer, why not try a halter neck style, which will flatter your assets without making you appear too top heavy.

Small up top

If you’re smaller up top, choose a bikini style that embellishes and flatters what you do have. Frills, ruffles and fringes work as an optical illusion to draw attention and create volume on top, as do horizontal stripes in bold colours. Cute and playful triangle bikini styles are also perfect for a smaller physique.

Finally, if you’re really worried about your slender figure then don’t be afraid to opt for a bit of padding to create shape and volume. There’s nothing wrong with getting a bit of extra help.

If you’re apple shaped

For curvier body shapes, don’t try to hide behind too much fabric. Instead, use bold, bright colours and daring prints to show off your confidence and personality.

If you’re conscious about a particular part of your body, think about ways to draw attention away from it.

If it’s your tummy that worries you, consider a tankini style. These are also available with support control panels to disguise any lumps and bumps. If you have a curvy lower half, show it off with flattering boy leg bikini bottoms or draw attention away from this area by wearing a one-piece with a plunging neckline.

Added extras

Another great option is adding a sarong to your swimwear outfit. Sarongs not only add beautiful feminine colour, they also offer some extra confidence by covering up problem areas, such as hips and thighs.

Remember that sarongs can also be worn in a range of styles, with larger sarongs transforming into a fabulous haltered maxi dress.
