How to style a maxi skirt (Casual Look) OOTD

Geplaas deur Unknown om 11:46 0 opmerkings
Salaam my luvs! 

So today's outfit is another maxi skirt! (Don't you just heart them?!) They are so easy to style and give a modest look. Another fav of mine is slogan t-shirts and this one I bought a while back from TK Maxx. On top I'm wearing a denim wash jacket from Zara.

 


Skirt is from Ebay and hijab from Princess Rockz. 

Finally my studded shoes are from Primark!

The Body Shop Oil-Free Balancing Foundation

Geplaas deur Unknown om 08:27 0 opmerkings
This was a total impulse buy. Waiting at the airport in duty free I decided to pass time and test out the oil free foundation from The Body Shop. I have been on the look out for a decent foundation that provides coverage and is ideal for my combination skin. Swatching this on my face in store I was kinda surprised that it covered well; so on a whim I decided to purchase this (shade 04) along with the blending sponge.

Yup that's dried up foundation right there...

I used this during my holiday abroad and it worked well in the cold weather of Istanbul and the heat of Dubai (around 28 degree Celsius).

The trick is all in the application. For a flawless streak-free finish apply with a damp blending sponge. The disadvantage of this is that you waste some of the product through the sponge. The foundation dries very quickly so you have to work fast with it! Only pump a small amount onto your hand at a time to work with, otherwise it'll dry before you apply to your face. If your skin is dry or flaky the foundation will only highlight this so moisturise well before use!


It provides light-medium coverage and the finish is matte but still glowing. The biggest plus is I don't need to powder as much, which if you have a shiny t-zone like moi will understand! It hasn't broke me out yet which is a MAJOR plus for me *Yayyyyyy!!* Oh and it has SPF15-not bad :)

Overall I am happy with this foundation, and will continue to use. My search for the perfect (is there such a thing?) concealer is still continuing...

The foundation is currently on sale on the Body Shop website for £8! (RRP £13)

Please leave a comment and let me know what your favourite everyday foundation/concealer is :)

Over the weekend I attended a blogger lunch hosted by Muslimah Beauty and Zinah. The lunch was held in a resturant called Chillies in Whitleys shopping centre. In attendance were other bloggers including Ayaan from beauty Wednesday and Mango Whirl.

The gang!
The goodie bag
We received a cute Zinah bag filled with beauty products. I think they read my mind as I've been meaning to buy some Pearl Drops! Not tried this particular one yet so looking forward to testing it out! I'm an avid tea addict (English and herbal teas please :) ) so no doubt it'll come in handy.  The lipstick and nail polish are more beauty products to add to my ever growing collection ;)

It was great to meet some new face and discover their blogs. Here are a few of the bloggers I met on the day.

Update and Holiday OOTD #1

Geplaas deur Unknown om 05:01 0 opmerkings
Hey guys!! Long time no see hey....I've been rubbish at blogging recently and my schedule has been bussyy but I'm going to let you know what I've been up to.

I was recently on holiday in Istanbul and Dubai, which was amazing and didn't want to come back :(

I'll be sharing some holiday snaps as well as outfit of the days in my blog posts-starting with this post :)

For my past post on 'A guide to Istanbul' click here

Topkapi Palace



This is an outfit I wore in Istanbul. The weather was similar to the UK-cold and woolly jumper season. I purchased the green jumper recently from HandM at half price for a bargain £7! The plain teal hijab is from Princess Rockz and is a maxi, which means it's extra wide for plenty of coverage at the front and back.


The uber cool necklace is from Camden Market. My favourite buy is the faux leather jacket from Oasis.I've been wearing this with practically all my outfits. Shoes are Forever 21 and maxi skirt from HandM.
