memories of 2015

Happy new year :)
I know it's almost two weeks late to say so but I still wanted to say it anyway ;) though this post was published and then deleted!! I don't know how but I don't mind doing it all over again!

I know that years from now when I look at older posts I would remember everything about the time I wrote it or how I prepared for it and most importantly is how I felt about it! so I thought of wrapping all of 2015 memories into my first best of the year products -yay so happy!



Taking care of hair last year was a little bit more intense than ever, because I suffered from a severe hair-loss and overall damaged because of the post pregnancy thing! so the best products that were there with me through those hard times were:

1. Indola Innova - hair growth tonic: I had this tonic for quite some time but never really used it well until July. I used it every night on damp or dry hair hoping that something will change because I reached to a point where I was really insecure about my hair condition! After almost two weeks I started noticing that the falling hair was less than before and sooner there was baby hair :D really happy with the results and I still use it! LOVE IT.
2. Macadamia Healing oil: when I say that my hair was damaged I mean frizzy and crazy and when I thought that by getting a short hair cut would solve the problem, I actually made it worse!! therefore I started using this oil Along with Tresemme Argan oil so that I can tone down the electricity in my hair :p those two were so good but now I'm thinking of something deeper to heal my hair, will see about that!


the biggest experimental part of last year was related to taking care of my face! because of my pregnancy I had a big discoloration issues especially on my face and neck, in other words the most apparent thing in me :p so I had to take extra care of my face in terms of daily moisturizing, night care and face wash and cleansers. so these products were close to my heart for everything they did for me =) 1. Garnier night cream and eye roll-on: As a new mom I wanted things that have huge impact but don't require a lot work! so I met this Garnier night cream on my mom's night stand :p I started using it and the results were really quick like within a week! so I had to get my own and while I was looking for it I came across the roll-on and I know that I have to take care of my under eye area more than ever and I got it. Even though I didn't see any results from using the roll-on I still loved it xD because when applying it, it gives a refreshing feeling and cool kinda of thing I just love it!
2. Soap and Glory - Peaches and clean: My all times favorite cleanser! I have an oily skin but every cleanser I used before seem to dry my face out! even those that are soap free unlike this one ❤ it's very gentle but affective. I love how my face feels after using it! I think this is my 3rd bottle so far!
3. St.Ives - Apricot scrub: sometimes I like to pamper myself before the weekend or before an event or simply when I'm tired and need to spoil myself a little. and the one that I like last year was this scrub, it says that it can be used on a daily basis but I think that it would be harsh on my skin to do so but overall I love how it cleans without drying my face!
4. Olay double action essentials - oily/combo moisturizing gel: I was never really a fan of Olay products :/ they were heavy and they turn into a weird color whenever I use them! while I was looking for an oil control moisturizer I saw this one and I thought why not try it! OMG how much I love it now! because it's a gel it is early and quickly absorbed and my face does not get oily quick when I use it! this became a must have item for me!  

Ooh makeup! one of the things that I've been using since like ever is the Labello lip balm, I've tried most of the colors and flavors as well as the different formulas! this summer I met my favorite of all which is the watermelon one ❤ a lot of people say that they hate its smell but not me! I love it and what makes it my best is its pinkish color that looks so natural on me. when it comes to real makeup there's no doubt that The Balm - Nude 'tude palette was my favorite! I mean look at the colors and just imagine how many looks you can create with them, from simple to sparkly to smokey! and they're really pigmented. 
Last but not least, the scent of 2015 was J'adore by Dior. This perfume holds a special memory in my heart ❤ before I knew I was pregnant I bought a perfume BUT then I couldn't bare smelling it! and my mom smelled it before on me and she liked it so I gave it to her. Only few days later she surprised me with this beauty ❤❤ it's so feminine and I used it through out my pregnancy so it just holds every beautiful moment from my mom and my little angels. 
and that was my bests of 2015 I just wish that 2016 would be filled with joy, happiness and love for all :) 

Take care beauties,

drugstore attraction!!

Hello lovelies!



They say "don't judge a book by its cover!" and I mostly agree but sometimes its the packaging that really attracts you to that particular thing!! I'm not talking about books here buy for a while whenever I pass by a drugstore in the mall I can't help but notice those beautifully cute pink products!!! Soon later I started hearing a lot about these beauties and that made me want to try them even more especially because I've been wanting to get a decent cleanser for my oily face *oops :P* so I ended up with a beautiful collection of scrubs (The breakfast scrub, scrub'm and leave 'em, and flake away) :p and the thing that I wanted (Peaches and clean purifying cleanser) with a little treat which is the face massage mini mitt! I wanted to get more products but I told myself to try these first then decide if I love these pinkies or not! So far I've been using the 3 of what I've got: the cleanser with the mini mitt and flake away scrub. I've always struggled with finding a face cleanser that makes my face doesn't glow but not dry! and this cleanser made me fall in love with it as it does what I want, it's so soft and purifying really! I put a little of it on the mitt and massage my face as well as clean it and then feel pretty :D and the scrub (Sugar, Honey, and Shea butter) it really flakes away dead skin and the Shea butter really shows its work!! I can't wait to use the other two!!    
Another product line I've been hearing a lot about for some time also with a beautiful package :p are the Macadamia products! I wasn't really sure that I would find it here but lucky me I saw a huge ad about these magical green and brown products so I went to that drugstore and saw the cutest promo ever!!! 
When I saw this "No tangle promo" I felt like it was meant for me because before that day I was seriously thinking of getting a detangler - you know the pink one- and there it was with treatment oil and repair masque!! I couldn't say no and it was a good deal before I take the big size. Ever since that day, my hair and "no-tangle" are best friends, it's so gentle and stress free and beautiful :p! To test the other products I saved them for a special occasion which happened to be my friend's wedding, when I first put the masque on my hair its smell was a little intense to me but then it was nice and after I washing and drying it I got the results of which my hair felt softer - my hair is normal - then I applied the oil after I finished styling it and I was a little surprised but the oil's thickness *oops* and it gave me a lovely finish - no frizzy hair! I loved these products but I feel like the oil doesn't give me a wow thing :p ! 
I love trying out new things, specially when they give me something good and not regret buying them ;)
how about you ?
PS. I'm so excited about my blog's new look :3 
Have a beautiful day ❤
