Makeup: Best black eyeliner pen for beginners

One of my favorite and best eyeliners I have ever used is Clarin's 3-dotted eyeliner.

For those of you ladies who struggle with applying the perfect eyeliner, you seriously have to give this product a shot.

It really helps in drawing that straight line, giving you control to create the precision you like.

The whole purpose of an eyeliner is to make your lashes look fuller. So with this eyeliner's 3 dotted tip, you can really get close to your lashes and fill them/dot them in for a natural look.

For a more dramatic look, apply another layer above it and take it a little bit outside the outer corner of your eye.

Trust me this product will really help you!

My obsession with anti-bacterial hand gels is never ending!
Ever since I got my hands on Bath and Body Works' cute little anti-bacterial hand sanitizers, I have being buying them in bulk. After moving from California to the middle east, I have had every family member of mine bring me back my dosage from the states.

But now, I won't have to, because they are opening their first store in Jeddah, and it will be in Tahlia Mall!
Their hand sanitizers are so adorable, they even have pocketbac holders that you can attach to your purse for quick access. They come in a variety of colors:

My Favorite is this pink one, it has cute studs on the side:

Finally stocking up on the cute hand gels will no longer be a mission impossible! I'm sure you will understand my addiction once you visit their new store!

Not all makeup looks suit everyone!





Every woman is beautiful. 

Every woman has her own style and taste, and it's very important for a woman to preserve her identity, after all that's what defines her.

However, I would like to emphasize on the fact that NOT every makeup look and style suits every woman.

I get a lot of clients who have pulled out makeup looks from magazines, expecting to leave my studio looking identical to the model.

Girls, please, it's important to know that magazine pictures are photoshopped, lighting also plays a huge role in the process of perfecting the picture.


Makeup can and will camouflage your flaws, contouring can reshape your face, but some features especially eye shape restrict the makeup looks choice. For example, women with prominent eyes must avoid shimmery and light colors on their eyelid, or else their eyes would look even more prominent. So going for an advertisement of a new shimmery light color that makes your eye pop would not be a good choice.

Women need to carefully study their face features in order to be able to make better makeup choices. Things like skin tone, undertones, eye shape, lip shape, face shape, and even hair color play a big role in makeup selection.

So go ahead and take some time to examine your face in the mirror, and try to describe your face features. I will have a new post on face features and how to select the right makeup looks for them. Once you have carefully examined your face, come back to find out what look would suit you best :)
