Olay Natural White Cleansing Face Wash
So Ive been using this face wash for a while now and I am really pleased with the product. I use it in the morning and it makes my skin look so much fresher! Mind you I still have to use my my normal face wash for controlling my oily skin but Olay in the morning makes sure that I dont need any make up when I leave the house since my skin feels instantly refreshed! ❤️

Boots Cucumber Range
The Cleanser + Toner is absolutely amazing you guys! I use it whenever my skin gets oily and this makes it smell and feel amazing! It has a gel like consistency and it moisturizes plus cleanses and tones! The only problem I would imagine would be that it would not work that effectively when removing makeup since it is quite gentle however I have not tried that so i cant say anything!
The eye gel is also a good product. I just used it once and felt a slight difference. Maybe if I use it regularly I will see the desired effect so I will post a separate review for the eye gel later!
Stars - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5/5) for the cleanser + toner
Price - AED 14 each but they had a buy 2 get 1 free offer

Ps I am looking for an eye gel that will work wonders for my eyes and wont break the bank. If you have any suggestions please let me know 👇🏽
Boots Ingredients Leave In Conditioner
I have just because of the Coconut scent 🙈 I was afraid it would make my hair oily and weigh them down so I just sprayed on my ends and the result has been amazing! My hair looks smoother and feels softer! This is exactly the kind of leave in conditioner that fine and easily oily hair needs since it is not thick or greasy! Very happy with this buy 😍

Johnson's 24 hour moisture soft cream
Guys I found the perfect moisturizer!!! This 24 hour moisture soft cream by @johnsonsmiddleeast is simply wonderful! I like to wash my face 3-4 times a day and the moisturizers I used previously would leave dry patches on my face. But with this cream I have no such problems 😊 It is a little bit heavy but it gets absorbed on your skin really quickly and leaves you feeling light and hydrated! It also has a hint of fragrance which you can smell all day long. It is on offer at local grocery stores in the UAE and I just got myself two more of these 🙈

Garnier Color Naturals
My favorite hair dye ❤️
Just fyi, my hair color is black and Ive been using hair dyes that are supposed to make you 'blonde' for years. Trust me, if you have black hair you can use this dye to get dark brown hair and thats the lightest your hairs going to be! So dont be afraid to pick the lightest color of hair dye! I use hair dye basically for adding more volume to my hair since it is very thin. Idk what the logic behind hair dye and volumnous hair is but it works 🙊 Also, the hair dye lasts atleast three months even if you wash your hair everyday like I do

Some of my favourites!
💄 NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: If youre looking for something that is pigmented, matte, and soft on your lips, this is the thing to go for! I found that it really went well with my skin colour and stayed on for pretty long .
✨ NYX Liquid Illuminator: If youre like me and want just the tiniest bit of shine on your cheekbones, you want to try this product. It has a rosy color to it and is not that pigmented. Comes on smoothly too! .
👀 Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner: Best thing about this or any eyeliner really from Rimmel is that they dont smudge. I like to put on some face powder under my eyes and then put on eyeliner to make sure that the eyeliner doesnt smudge in case I doze off or something 🙈 Also, the black color is really dark and the liners really soft! .
🌸 Body by Burberry: Some people know how to describe scents. Im not one of them. All I know is that this perfume smells good 😂
Lipbalm Overload!
- VLCC Passion Fruit - was so excited for this lipbalm but had an allergic reaction to it and to the cocoa butter one 😔
- VLCC Strawberry - I decided to buy the strawberry lipbalm and I had no allergic reaction to it! Unfortunately, the lipbalm cracks and had a wierd residue eekh
- Sebamed - love love love this lipbalm! I use it everyday and it moisturizes really well. It also has spf 30 so that is an added bonus ☀️
- Labello Cherry - i bought this lipbalm solely for the tint it provides. The tint is pretty good but the lipbalm itself does not stay for long and doesnt feel that moisturizing
- Labello Strawberry - i bought the strawberry labello for the tint too however this lipbalm only provides shine which I am not so fond of
Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Shampoo and Conditioner
Will finally get to try this! Ive only heard positive things about #Elvive😍
Edit: So 1 week into using this shampoo and conditioner, I can definately say that my hair is softer. However, the scent of this shampoo is giving me a headache! For a product that is so amazing, the scent just puts you off from using it 😒
I have also used Loreal Smooth Intense and would recommend that over Extraordinary Oil because
1) The lack of fragrance in Extraordinary Oil
2) I found that Smooth Intense took care of my frizz better than Extraordinary Oil
Stars - 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (4/5)
Price - AED 40 for both the shampoo and conditioner (it is on sale atm for just AED 20 at Lulu)
Where to buy - Any grocery store like Lulu or Carrefour
Loreal Elvive Keratin Straight 72H Shampoo and Conditioner
Saw these on the shelf and had to buy it! After the amazing results of Smooth Intense and Extraordinary range from Loreal Elvive (@lorealhair), I expect great things from these products as well! I've only been using it a fee days so Ill update with a review in a few weeks!
Get ready for summer time!
I recently purchased this spray from Boots. Ive heard so much about Soltan products that I thought I would give it a try. This spray is supposed to be invisible, dry touch, water and sweat proof. I also read that this spray does not leave a white residue behind. The first time I used this product, I used two big pumps for just my face. Suffice to say I felt greasy all day long and it was very uncomfortable. However, I realized that I had used too much product and the next day I just used a single pump on my fave and rubbed it in really well. The product has an oil like consistency and it went on my face smoothly. It was invisible in the sense that my face did not feel heavy. I would say it was completely dry touch, maybe 75%? It honestly felt like I just had a moisturizer on. It left no white residue either. After 20 minutes of application, I put on a little talcom powder on my nose to make it less shiny but the rest of my face looked great with the shimmery glow the sunscreen provided. Ive used this product for about a week now where I went out in the horrible middle east sun everyday. Usually I get dry patches, heat spots, and dark spots on my face but while using this product, I didnt get any! I dont normally get sunburnt easily so Idk how this product will handle that. I am very much pleased with this product however I might buy the invisible dry touch face cream next time since I have read that that is completely matte 😊
