Sorry for not posting last week. I was occupied by something and I JUST DONT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS!!!
Even today I got late because after a very long time I got to spend time with my best friend my soulmate and words cant define how therapeutic Today was!! I feel ACTUALLY HAPPY๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

Any way Today's blog is about:
BIODERMA laboratory's
Sensibio range.

I recieved this package as a gift from them and you guys I must must must tell it you it changed my life.

Let's seen what the brand claims for this specific range:

Sensitive skin expresses itself through sensations of heat and widespread or localized redness. It becomes dehydrated easily and the ensuing dryness auto-maintains its fragility and leads to unpleasant feelings of tightness.
Depending on the cause, severity and stage of sensitivity, Sensibio offers combinations of active ingredients with appropriate textures.
BIODERMA, a pioneer when it comes to micellar water with Sensibio H2O, is now the leader in prescriptions and pharmacies*. Sensibio products are suitable for all sensitive and reactive skin types.
I have NEVER BEEN  a skin care person and was terrible enough to sleep with the makeup on! Yes there..  I said it.. I used to sleep with makeup on. Why? Because I never has skin problems I used to take it FOR GRANTED. Maximum I used to do was scrubbing twice a week and that too I found out that I've been doing it wrong all along because...
ST. IVES scrubs... I think the name itself is enough *facepalm*
No matter who we are time is going to change all that we have. And I am not sure if it's an age factor or just my skin being tired of my bullshit. It has started to be pigmented on some points, my around lip area to be more specific.
And the texture has been super rough keeping in mind I have super dry skin and very poor self care habits. I do the basic hygiene things but nothing extra like masks or staying hydrated. Eating healthy is a far far far away story.
And I love makeup so I used to think why would it even matter to have healthy skin anyway.. it's going to be under makeup.
BUTTTTTT....
THEN THIS HERO ENTERS MY LIFE ONE DAY and changed everything.
After a party one night I came back and decided to give it a try. I tried their wipe first:
To be honest it felt super dry and had to be dragged on my skin VERY HARD!! nope not a good idea.
So I totally abandoned this product and would recommend.
Then I took
the Sensibio H2O (micellar water):


I took it on a cotton and swiped my face and BAM!!!! I couldn't believe how quick all the makeup was removed.
Next and lastly I went for the
SENSIBIO mild cleansing  foaming gel
(Face wash):
And I cant tell how my tired skin started to glow the morning.
And to check if there Is any makeup still on my face I went with micellar water again but this time...
The cotton pad was all nice and clean
Which means all the gunk was no more there. And my skin texture had changed DRASTICALLY AFTER JUST ONE USE!!!
๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜


This was the turning point in my life. I now have a proper skin care regimen not a daily but weekly one as I thought if 1 product would do this to me what would a whole set of amazing products do ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

And I have also experimented with these 2 products in different ways.
1. Using the foaming gel alone for makeup removal and checked with micellar water and it worked. Almost nothing was left on the skin.
2. I cleaned my skin with SENSIBIO H2O and didn't wash the face for a few hours just to see if it dries out the skin... AND IT DIDNT!!!!
My super dry skin has THANKED me by keeping the glow constant now as I use these products daily.

AN OVERVIEW OF

SENSIBIO WIPES:
NOPE!!! not using these again. I would rather stick to my Johnson's makeup wipes.

ITS DIY FRI-YAAAYYY!!!

Feeling soooo good to finally post A DIY PROJECT after more than a year.
Oh how I missed sharing it all with you!!
First of all I want to say I love you to all those who have been sticking around for these years and also sent me the projects the tried making. Seriously those pictures from you mean the world to me.

Coming to today's project, I've named it REMINDER FRAMES.



How often it happens that you come across a poetry, aphrase, a dialogue, or a religious verse that you thought was right on time and has hit you hard to remind of something motivating and empowering and it actually made you feel better...
I personally have gone through alot of stress in the past years and I literally felt lost. And this was the reason I decided that I will make some reminder notes to be in my sight all the time so incase I feel low.. I will bump into them and feel better...
But where do we place those notes? How should I keep them In sight..
So I decided framing them would be a nice idea to have wall decor come reminder that would always be in sight and make me feel better.
So here is the list of the materials used:
  1. A chart paper
  2. Pencil
  3. Scissors
  4. Large floral stickers or printouts
  5. UNG drill frames from IKEA
  6. Gold spray paint
  7. Acrylic paint
  8. Flat paint brush
  9. A qoute as a reminder :)
Now this is one of THE MOST SIMPLE project that I've done.
All you have to do is take out the cardboard backing from the frame and trace it on the chart paper.
Now cut the traced shape.
Arrange your floral stickers on the cutout until you have placed them in satisfying arrangement.
Stick them on the chart paper.
Now take a scale and make lines it using a pencil.
Write down the qoute using pencil again. You can skip this step and direct use your acrylic paint and brush if you know how to paint. And DO NOT SKIP IT if you're a first timer.
Now once written with pencil start tracing with paint using flat brush. 

Once dried erase the scaled lines and any pencil written words visible.

ANNNNDDDD VOILAAA!!!



You have your own customised reminder.
I used verses from Quran because what's better than the word of God assuring you positivity.

Also I made it in a set of 3
Stating:
Be grateful 
Be patient 
Be hopeful
Along with a verse for respective motive. And I wrote in both english and arabic so I can read in arabic and in english understand what I am being told by HIM.


Things you shouldn't forget:
Spray paint in a WELL VENTILATED AREA.
Practice on a rough paper before starting on the main chart paper with paint.
Proof read what you have written before starting with paint.
Make sure your lines are straight and parallel and not tilted.

That's it!!
For those who
Need visuals to understand the steps
Here is the link to my 
VIDEOOOOO

Do let me know in the comments below if you will be making it and what qoutes would you write?

KEEP BLINGING
XOXOXOXOXOX

I forgot to be happy...

Welcome Glitteristas

Huda's Glitterland

........
Its everything Wednesday today... and todaaaayyyy... Is the day when we'll be talking about EVERYTHING. But definitely one topic at a time.
Today I thought I would be doing a skin care review but this post is dedicated to that one follower of mine who specially messaged me on Instagram.

To remind her of how to be happy.
She has forgotten to be happy.
And you know what.. this actually broke my heart.

Happiness... this word has literally left the true meaning in dictionary because we have interpreted it in so many other ways, things, people, that today no matter who we bump into... they don't feel happy.. 
In this social media era... it's so easy for us to be bombarded by FAKE perfect happy pictures everyday, But when you take a closer look and get to know the person there is a story behind every single one of them that would make you cry...
They all have empty spots somewhere deep inside...Why??
Aren't they supposed to be HAPPY? Happy because they're successful? Happy because they have a perfect fairytale love story?Perfect home? Motherhood going perfect?? Perfect family? Perfect career?
Let me break this to you today... the perfection that should have given them the sense of HAPPINESS didn't work.
This is where the problem lies... we are searching and WAITING for bigger reasons to be happy.. and while we are looking around for that reason, whereas happiness begins within US!!!
We are ignoring EVERYTHING WE HAVE right now. This very moment!!
How many people today slept hungry..  how many kids were put to sleep giving them fake hope that they would wake up to a hot breakfast in the morning.. while we sleep with our stomach full.. sometimes over fed!
How many people today didn't know where to sleep?? The floor might be too wet, the weather might be too hot, or the place where they stayed was too dangerous to risk even an hour of sleep. While we sleep here in our cold rooms with warm blankets in a low lamp light giving us all the sense of coziness and safety.
The point here is we do get everything, but then we start our search all over again every single day.  So much that the SENSE OF CONTENTMENT has been lost.
Look at the little things in life. Wake up in the morning... take the sunlight of the first hours of morning.. feel the peace around you.
Take a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of juice.. let it go down sip by sip,
Get ready for your work or get your family ready for keeping the SENSE OF CONTENTMENT within.
Saying Alhamdulillah with every thing you do throughout your day.
You have a family a home to take care of... there could be so many reasons to feel negative about .. but just 1 reason you need to find to love it all again.
And the most important point, feel happy TO LOVE YOURSELF!!!
yes... you need to love yourself.. even if no one else does.. khali wali.. you need to love yourself enough..  that other love is just a cherry on top of the cake you already have.
Here are some things we need to understand how #selflove works


1. Wakeup in the morning, stand infront of the mirror and remind yourself that you're an amazing person and you need to make the atmosphere positive by yourself.. no matter how much someone tries to destroy it. Give that baby a kiss girl. She deserves it๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

2. Learn to say NO clearly when needed. It's not your job to make others happy all the time by making yourself a door mat.
*NEWS FLASH* 
They're still not happy with what you do so.. F*** it. And say no in the very first place.

3. DO NOT!!! I REPEAT DO NOT LISTEN to other people's opinion about you. How you do things, why you do what you do, is your matter.. and if someone gives an opinion about it, hand them a damn grocery list for next month. They need to pay for giving opinions.. no we ain't taking them for free.. you gotta pay Bills of mine baby๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

4. Be your own happy space. 
 treat yourself right always. Learn to be happy and positive about yourself. 
In messed up situations instead of saying
" oh damn I am such an idiot"
Say
"Girl it's ok..  shit happens.. let's fix it!!"
Because that is the truth.. shit happens and there is nothing you can do about it. So why be so harsh on yourself. That won't change anything except making things worse. Show yourself love and respect.

5. See a negative person approaching?? RUN!!! RUN RUN RUN!!!! 
cut off all the negative people in your life.. no matter who they are no matter how long they have been with you.. the duration doesn't assure quality.
The ticket to my place is positivity, don't have that? Sorry you cant enter * shuts the door on the face*
You gotta do what you gotta do to keep your mental peace๐Ÿคท‍♀️๐Ÿคท‍♀️๐Ÿคท‍♀️

6. Don't think about the things you can't control.
Other people's tongue and future are the 2 of them. 
What other people say is a depiction of their character not yours, so if you hear the gossips about yourself... remember Allah has seen what you do and Allah does see what they're doing.
Future... this is a thing that resides 100% in Allah's hand. So let yourself go with the flow he has created. Do think about what's going to happen tomorrow. Live today. Breathe today. Be happy today. Because even the next breath is not promised.

7. Find positivity even in the worst situation. Train your mind to it. If something happens terribly wrong, destructive, a chaos, something that you think has ended your world... you need to shut your eyes.. and open the eyes, have faith in Allah.. that he knows what you don't know.. and tomorrow when you will turn around and look at the current destruction, you will say Alhamdulillah that it happened as what you have now is something you ever didn't thought of. 

8. Find yourself a hobby. Anything. Paint, read, sing, dance, write down your thoughts in a diary.. even if you don't know how to do it.. still do... these things will help you calm your raging thoughts and emotion down.
Above all.. PRAY.. speak to your LORD.. instead of sharing with people and giving them material to gossip, speak to your Lord, He is the one who doesn't even allow us to reveal our mistakes to others, let alone him revealing them.


Moral of the above story:
1. Find the sense of CONTENTMENT. Make a habit of saying ALHMADULILLAH even if all you have today a healthy breath. 

2. Love yourself people. We take it so light, and forget it while we love others hard. And during all this process we beg others to love us. Please.. learn to love yourself. After Allah, You are the one who is with you 24/7 and you are the best company for yourself. Others just add to it. Learn it. Please. The sooner the better.


So this is it for today.
I hope you feel better after all this and to all those who are struggling... hugs and kisses to you all!!!

Don't forget to comment down your thoughts and what your definition of happiness is.

Keep blinging
XOXOXOXOX

Its Makeover Monday


I cant express my excitement that I have finally revived this blog that has been dead for over 2 years now. In these years I have been a person who has gone through alot of changes. I have gone through some tough time, I've seen some highs some lows, somethings changed me in a better way and some took good parts of me.

But that's life what life is, isnt it?

The biggest change was I became a mom to be honest I was the most scared of it and now I feel its actually so beautiful that you cant put it into words.

Coming to the blog, I've decided to put everything I've been doing over the years up here, be it about grooming, diys, life, experience everything.

And for that I have chosen 3 days
(Secret: it's actually to put my lazy ass to work and be consistent in posting)

SHALL WE ANNOUNCE:

*DRUMS ROLL*

*SPOTLIGHT FALLS*


Makeover monday: dedicated to makeovers and all I use to achieve them. Tips, tricks, reviews, products , all related to makeovers.

Everything wednesday: dedicated to LITERALLY EVERYTHING!!! From food, to life, to lessons, to how I mess up๐Ÿคฃ.

DIY FRIYAAAY: ALL ABOUT MY DIYS๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

All that being said, coming to my today's post, it's about this look I created andddd THE BOMBBBB highlighter I recently purchased.

Shall we begin?

Products used:

Face:
Olay moisturizer (all time favorite)
Elf putty primer
Estee lauder double wear foundation 
Coty airspun translucent powder
Beauty creations highlight and contour pallete 
+
Floral bloom blush
Pixie dust highlighter (the star of today's blog)
Wet and wild photofocus setting spray.

Eyes:
Huda beauty nude pallete.
@morphebrushes 39a
@juviasplace zulu pallete
Makeup revolution HD eyebrow pallete
Colourpop white gel liner
@beautyworld black hydraliner
Ardell lashes demi wispies

Lips:
colourpop cosmetics "more better"
.....
Tip for this look:

To get an extream pop of color in waterline, apply white gel liner on your waterline and then top it up with the eyeshadow. Blend that eye shadow along the lash line too to get that super bold pop. Also DO NOT wear your contact lenses before doing this. You can wear them after youre done with the makeup.
.....
Now review time!!

My first product review on this blog...
*wipes tears and blows nose*

~~Pixie dust highlighter~~

Little about this brand: Its a kuwaiti brand that has just started and the owner is extremely kind and down to earth. 


They offer a set of highlighter , a fan brush and a spray (to be honest I am still confused if it's a setting spray or something else as it had an oily feel to it so I couldn't tell what exactly it is). They send it all in a beautiful gift box with a note and an application guide. I actually like the presentation.


I was randomly surfing Insta when this showed up in my news feed and you guys I swear that video got me so bad that I ordered it right away...

That WAM BAM DAMN SWATCH GIRL!๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ
I knew it was time to get this baby. And it came the very next day.

The highlighter itself is SUPER BUTTERY AND SUPER DUPER REFELECTIVE. I can literally stare at that glow for HOURSSS!! Currently it's being sold in a single shade only and to be honest, I am not even mad, because this isn't silver and not even gold but has that perfect warmth and white factor(if that's a thing) to it that I am literally hooked to it. I use fluffy brush to apply it and BAMB!!! I GET VISIBLE FROM THE MARS TOO 

(You dont believe me? I'll show the screenshots of martians complimenting the glow they saw from up there๐Ÿคท‍♀️๐Ÿคฃ)



The entire set costs you 12 kuwaiti dinars and delivery is FREEEEE!!!!

How do you like your highlighter to be??

Visible shine enough to make others blind๐Ÿคฃ

Or

Just a natural glow.

I would always go for the first one๐Ÿคท‍♀️๐Ÿคฃ


Comment down what's your favorite brand in highlighters and do you like the pop of colors in your makeup.




And dont forget to
Keep blinging my Glitteristas!
