D'finer D'liner

Don't u hate it when ur lipstick/gloss startes feathering and creating those tiny lines all around ur lips giving it that messy look? I know I do! especially when it comes to red lipsticks..
While browsing through Benefit's products I came across this beauty, a wax-like lipliner that u use to line the outside of ur lips to prevent ur lipstick/gloss from feathering..  I tried it a few times and it does work!
a biiiiiiggg hug goes to whoever invented this!

Mademoiselle


As soon as i saw this ad i knew that i want to have this particular shade shown in it.. but that wasn't an easy task! everywhere i went to it was not available, i even searched for it with no luck during my short trip to Dubai ..

bs i finally got  my hands on one.. found it in Faces 360... u can imagine my happiness when i had my fingers wrapped around the carrier bag ;p


its the simple silly things that can make ur day =)

Having a lil Me Time



If u haven't tried Me Time nail spa what are you waiting for?!

I like trying out nail salons so when i heard about Me Time I wanted to give it a try and was not able to do so until a few days back and I loved it!


I liked the atmosphere.. the place was clean and they use Autoclave sterilizing for their equipment.. the sofa was reaaaally comfy and has an adjustable back.. it also has an option for back massage if u want.. oo the coolest thing enna u have ur own TV screen with a headset oo ur own remote control to watch the channels u want! wanasaaah! all that and the pricing was very reasonable, I expected it to be in the range of Bubbles bs it wasn't.. 11 KD for a regular pedi/mani!

This place will definitely be me #1 choice from now on! (sorry my beloved Nstyle.. bs u have to admit enna the facilities over there are much better!)

Never having another glass of Nailtini!



I'm a very loyal Nstyle customer, but since my fav manicurist is on vaycay oo emyatmatni, o since mo ga3da a7a9il 3indihum mawa3eed bil awqat illy etnasibni, gilt why not give Nailtini a try?

So I did! Oo I loved the atmosphere. but the service?
one word: BAD

MBC 2 was on the tv screen oo i swear enna she was looking at the screen most of the time!! she scrubs and buffs while watching tv oo ettani7 between tasks!!

oo as if that's not enough, she was rude!
eta2ammar 3alai min ghair using plz..
"put ur foot down." "give me ur other foot" eb nazrah! 7atan one of those times I was flipping through a magazine o wasn't paying attention to what she was doing wila tgooly "soap" .. ma sima3t'ha chan etrid etgool "soap".. i looked up at her chan tgool "PUT UR HAND BIL SOAP"!!
shino hatha wain ga3deen?!

Oo 7atan no one offered me something to drink! the irony! Nailtini oo they gave me nothing to drink!!

I think the management over there must pay attention to those minor issues (or shall I say major??). le2ana with that kind of service they'll lose customers, they lost me for sure.

aaaah wainich ya Dina (my manicurist) oo wain il dalaaal illy kintay em3ayshatni feeh.. 7ata il jan6a etsheelha 3ani la baghait a6la3 oo etzahibly sweechy 3ashan I don't ruin my polish...

Bubbles nail spa



Reading about bubbles on 248am made me wanna check it out myself.. so a few days ago i went to give it a try.. and it was a wonderful experience..

i tried their bubblicious mani&pedi which was very good..
the seat was comfy, ur surrounded by pillows, a bag of hot stones around ur neck .. very relaaaaxing!
the massage was so-so but i loved the treatment oo the staff felt professional.. unfortunately, the nail polish colour choices were a bit limited..

overall it was gooood.. oh and i liked how the drying station comes to u! so u don't have to get up from ur seat!

and when they finished they put the stuff they used in a plastic bag for me to take home! (next time i'll take them with me so that they can reuse them.. coz i think that opening a new kit each time is bad for the environment)



the place is very well decorated.. i loved the colour combinations..
it's located in al-jassim tower which is a new building awal marrah ad5alah.. still not fully opened..

in my opion it's a bit overpriced .. but it is worth visiting every once in a while when u feel like pampering urself..

this is il-jassim tower in case u don't know it:
