Mini-Haul Time!

Hey everyone, Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

My weekend was pretty low key, went to The Dubai Mall for some some good Starbucks coffee and then ended up with a mini beauty haul that I thought I'd share with all of you

Here are the things I got:

Dark Kiss Triple Moisture Body Cream from Bath & Body Works

I love Bath & Body Works and I was so happy when it opened a while ago @ The Dubai Mall

I absolutely love the Triple Moisture Body Cream, I had it before in Snow Kissed Berry and I went through the whole bottle in one month! So I decided to go get another one

It's very moisturizing and the smell is PHENOMENAL! I mainly get it for the smell though <3

How cute are these little hands sensitizers? Absolutely adorable!

They come in so many different scents

I think each girl needs one of these in her purse

It was a buy 2 get 1 free

The red ones are from their new collection which I really like

Something New lipstick by MAC (limited edition)

L O V E the color! A very bright, fun, hot pink

1, 2, 3 Looks Mascara by Rimmel

Everyone knows am a mascara freak! and I constantly love to try new wands and formulas

Right now am so into the 'steps' mascaras, and since this one has 3 steps I really wanted to try it out

Maybelline The Turbo Volume Express mascara

I also got a back up of my favorite under-eyes concealer which is Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer in 01 Nude Beige

Love everything about it; the coverage and consistency

And that's it! What is your favorite body moisturizer? and what are other beauty products that you cant get enough of?

stay beautiful,

Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener

My relationship with Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener started on the wrong foot, as the first sample squirted out uncontrollably, sending my silk dress straight to the cleaners. Several sample tubes later, I'm still not impressed. A very shimmery peach does nothing for me or for  my dark under-eye circles, except drawing even more attention where I want none.

You can clearly see the shimmery finish in the swatch and also that it's not a good match for olive skin. For some reason, Photo Op Under Eye Brightener doesn't come in any other shades, so what you see is what you get.

Bottom Line: Get YSL Touche Eclat or Guerlain Precious Light.

Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener ($18) is available from Sephora and smashbox.com.

Edward Bess Platinum Concealer (Soft Beige)

I'm very much a liquid/cream concealer fan. My skin can get very dry very fast, so I'm wary of textures that might cake, flake or look scaly, especially if I'm already trying to hide something. But I trust Edward Bess with my face and was happy to discover his Platinum Concealer that only comes in a solid stick formula is actually creamy, easy to blend and very dry skin-friendly.

I apply Platinum Concealer with various brushes- from a precision point concealer brush to flat ones for wider areas and even a foundation brush when using it under my eyes. The Edward Bess formula gives excellent coverage while melting seamlessly into any foundation or tinted moisturizer and allowing for easy blending. It never makes my skin look dry and doesn't flake.

Soft Beige is one of four available colors. It was easy to pick it as the right shade for me- it has just enough yellow and no muddy or ruddy tones. I used quite a bit of product for the photos, but in normal use you only need a tiny amount-it gives an excellent coverage with a very natural look, so that's another huge advantage of this Edward Bess concealer.

Note to self: Venture out of your comfort zone more often.

Edward Bess Platinum Concealer ($38) is available at Bergdorf Goodman, select Neiman Marcus location (as well as online) and edwardbess.com
