Product Review: Samoa H2O Lashes Mascara

My Dearest Beauties,

Let me just start by saying that this is straight out a really good mascara. At 15,000 LL (10$), it performs excellently! It is a waterproof and volumizing formula, it really works amazingly at volumizing and maintaining the curl all day long (I'm a straight down eyelash girl, and the only thing that keeps my eyelashes curled is a really goof waterproof mascara). My eyelashes are not only very straight but my eyelids tend to get really oily and a lot of mascaras give me the not so cute panda eyes, this one thankfully is waterproof enough not to allow that to happen; I even tested it at the gym and I didn't get any signs of panda eyes.

One last thing that I surprisingly really enjoy about this mascara is the wand. At first I saw it and thought it was too gimmicky for my liking but the shape of the brush is actually really good at getting those hard to get little hairs on the inner and outer corners of the eyes.

After Coats of Samoa H2O

I applied several coats without dipping the wand back into the tube to get this much volume and length. Mind that I do like clumpy lashes, but if you don't, just get an old and clean mascara wand and comb through them to get separation. What do you think?

Much love,

Samar
  

Lush Ocean Salt

My Dearest Beauties,

If you are to try out one single product from Lush, then surely go for the famous Ocean Salt. This facial scrub is magical, to the point that my mum sneakily steals it away from my bathroom, and believe me, my mum is not one to take my obsessions all too seriously!

Whenever you need a pick me up, your skin is feeling dull and you don't even like how makeup makes your skin look, just massage a dollop of this citrusy scrub and I guarantee you will feel and see a whole new you emerging from underneath the dead cells. The best part, it scrubs away but leaves your skin so moisturized and supple you'll think you just got done with a moisturizing mask. I have acne prone skin, and this stuff seems to never trigger break out, it actually takes away all those gross flaky pieces of skin that are left behind by my acne treatments.

I usually do it once a week and when I'm done I just can't wait to do it again! Get around a teaspoon amount onto your fingers and massage it in gentle circular motions all over your face and neck, skipping your eye area.

The product smells delicious, the citrus notes from the lime make you feel energized right away. Make sure not to waste any of it! Every time I use Ocean Salt on my face I use whatever product is left on my fingers onto my hands, I scrub my cuticles, palms and back of my hands. The results are amazing!

Head over to the Lush store to try it or get yourself a sample, but if you trust my judgement then just order it online and have it delivered to your doorstep from www.lushlebanon.com. It is one of those products that will become a favorite and a must have. As soon as, I run out I am at Lush getting some more.

Ocean Salt is said to be one of Angelina Jolie's beauty secrets, well who thinks she doesn't have spot on skin! 

Much love,

Proenza Schouler PS11 - The Investment Cross Body Bag

My Dearest Beauties,

I have been crushing over these bags for quite a bit and I finally decided that it is a must to share my love with you guys. I think this is an oh so worth it bag, if you are looking for a special cross body piece. They have a sturdy look that come in three different convenient sizes; tiny, mini classic and classic. They come in the neutral black and caramels, but you will be blown away when you see the amazing color modifications that are applied on it every season. All pictures were collected from proenzaschouler.com, make sure to click and take a look at all the colors, they are so pretty!

Cross body bags are among those that you will find yourself reaching to most often, especially because of their practicality and versatility. They give us the freedom of having unoccupied hands and arms, while we stay looking fairly cute! Either throw the tiny one across the body on your casual outfit days or go for the classic sized one hanging from your shoulder with your competent looking work clothes to give yourself a unique twist.

You can find Proenza Schouler designs at net-a-porter.com or at Plum concept store at Down Town, Beirut.

I like these very much, in every size and color. What about you?

Much love, 

Samar
