Workout in Style - Spanx Activewear

My Dearest Beauties,

Yes, the heat is approaching and we need to get in shape as quickly as possible. One of the things that might just be super motivating for you is having really cute, comfortable and last but not least forgiving workout outfits. When the outfits fit you right and you feel confident, it is much more encouraging than feeling like your flaws are being exposed and not so fashionable.

I am a big fan of the Spanx body shaping under garments and I just found out they have a whole range of amazing and super convenient workout clothes. They will make you look more toned and put together before you even start working out.








Do you care about looking good in your sweat pants or does your old baggy pair do the trick?

Much love,

Samar

Orange Lipstick Trend - Take Two

My Dearest Beauties,

So, to continue our little discovery journey of orange lipstick for the season, I have Rimmel London's Kate Moss Lipstick in number 13. I believe this color is discontinued (I 'm guessing it was a limited edition) but I still wanted to show you because you can always find a very similar one from the range. These lipsticks are a dream in consistency; they are smooth in texture, smell delicious and last for a very long time. Other than the gorgeous quality the color selection is amazing I can easily go and buy them all because most if not all colors are totally gorgeous and wearable.

I really recommend all of the Kate Moss lipsticks from Rimmel London! They are amazing value for your money!

For this lipstick I am also going to show you how the color looks on the lips and how it photographs in natural and flash lighting.

What are your thoughts on this orange shade?

P.S.: for those of you interested in my blush, I used Dior skin nude tan in 002 Amber and Benefit cosmetics Coralista blush.

Orange Lipstick Trend - Take One

My Dearest Beauties,

Maybelline recently sent me a bag of goodies to try out, and the highlight of all the products was the amazing lipstick! The color is not only on trend but the lipstick formula and scent is delicious (creamy and pigmented). The lipstick is from the Color Sensational range in the color Vibrant Mandarin 914.

It is easy to notice all hues of orange playing the main character as far as lipstick all over magazines and blogs. I thought I would show you my favorite orange shades one post at a time.

I have two pictures for you, one was taken with the camera's flash on and the other with just shiny sunlight. It looks brighter than it actually is in flash photography but beautiful still, in my opinion.
