Le Femme Du Nuitttttt

Hellooo,

One more outfit post, since I have a couple piled up. I wore an H&M dress, Mango leggings, Louboutins and this Tory Burch clutch/chain bag that I've had for years and have used to the core, it's so so convenient for a night out. Make up is more or less the same as always and hair is curled with a thin ghd. Wearing an H cuff which is one of the only thing I can find these days as my stuff is kind of all over the place at the moment (settlings into the house quite slowly) and some random bangles from Diva in Australia. The necklace is from some stall @ a mall in Dubai, and belt from my Sheike jumpsuit that I've worn in one of the previous outfit posts, although I never wear the belt with that jumpsuit.

Okay so I usually would wear this without the leggings, but am a little unsure of my readers and don't want a fatwa issued against me!! hehe joke xxxx

Night Out Eyes!

I got a few emails asking me about my eye make up and this is what I do on my eyes 99% of the time when I go out to a wedding, party or a dressy event:

I use Mac concealour under my eyes, as well as on the eyelid (the mini tube one) in NW25. I use a gold eyeshadow all over my eyelid and as a highlighter (I love Karaja eyeshadows as the pigment stays on all night and the Naked Eye Palette by Urban Decay for this look), I use Morisse false lashes before putting on the eyeliner, which I am having a hard time getting a hold of for the time being :( :( but they are the BEST ones I have used. I use 1000 Hours eyelash glue to stick them on because I prefer one with an applicator, this is an Australian brand, however Duo lash glue is just as good. I used to use Rimmel liquid eyeliner and I wing it a bit from the sides, but these days I am using an Aqua Eyeliner pot, with a brush applicator, and it does a superb job - in this particular picture the eyeliner is a bit shaky was a rush job. I also use the gold eye shadow under my eye and then with a slanted brush I use a brown colour to line under the eye for some definition. Inside the water line is a white eyeliner which opens the eyes up a bit. Lastly I use a L'Oreal mascara to align the false lashes with my real ones so you can't tell the difference, I think it's the telescopic mascara, but ALL L'Oreal mascaras are amazing. I'll post a video at some point!!!

Ensemble Du Jour

This is what I wore when I went to watch The Avengers @ Atrium... LanvinxH&M Tee (loved EVERYTHING from this collection and this is my favouritest shirt).. Sheike shiny pants, Armani flats... It was too hot to move, hair went blah, make up melted. I love these kind of pants because they are so loose and comfy for the weather here. I just can't do skinny jeans during the day anymore, or even tights for that matter.

On my nails I've got on OPI Strawberry Margarita.

As for The Avengers, it was good entertainment, but I wouldn't recommend it to be honest -  way too cliche!!!!! Hunger Games is no.1 on my list for 2012. Dying for the sequels and to read the books now!!!

Oh and to add to the comments above, Atrium cinemas is world class!!! It's always a pleasure going there. Now if only they would open more around the city!!!!

Ponds Review: No Blackheads Facial Foam.

No Blackheads is said to reduce blackheads in 7 days. Contains volcanic clay which sticks to blackheads and pulls them out. 

My Verdict: The biggest misconception is when we expect miracles with creams and facial washes, so ladies please don't expect all your blackheads to have zapped away with a couple of uses of this face wash, especially if you have deep set ones - those need to be professionally removed and can be done so at the Pond's Beauty Centre - their facials I swear by!! I personally do not have many blackheads but I do get dirt that sets in my pores especially in this hot weather. I used this face wash and am still using it however, initially I started out by using it on an everyday basis, and used it everyday for about 10 days straight, but I found that it may be a little hard on my skin and I experienced some redness in certain areas, although I do not have sensitive skin maybe my skin is a little young for this product. Indeed it removes all the dirt, clogged pores and blackheads, but one needs to REGULARLY use it to maintain results. It has a very soft texture, with tiny volcanic clay beads that exfoliate the face, unlike most blackhead removing facial washes the beads are tiny enough to set in the pores. I still use this a couple of times a week because it does work!!!  

As explained earlier in one of my Pond's posts was that you really need to find the face wash for your skin type, and they can help you do this at the Pond's Beauty Centre or you can experiment and find out as I am doing.

Make Up Shoot - Preview!

This is the LONGEST I haven't posted in, but thought I'd stop by with a sneak preview of the make up shoot I did for my make up portfolio.

The first is a party look, I did charcoal and brown smokey eyes with gold, white eyeliner in the lower waterline and blue eyeliner under that. Completed the look with pinky brown cheeks and lips.

The second look is a traditional bridal look, the model is wearing a bridal outfit by Humaira Shahnawaz. The make up is a maroon and gold look on the eyes, with a thick coat of winged eye liner, black eyeliner in the lower waterline and green eyeshadow underneath that. Pink cheeks and dark pink lips.

The photographer was Sameer. 

Will be updating a lot more regularly again!!!!!!
