My Favourite Five | Red Lipsticks.

Hello beautifuls!

Okay, first of all as you can see; {my favourite five} is a new series of posts in which I am going to take you on a guide of my favourite things. I am going to publish a new post once every month.

The premiere of my favourite five will be on red lipsticks, so without further ado; here are my five musketeers:

Starting from left to right:
Rouge Dior in shade 999 - N°999 by Christian Dior: this one is a unique orangey red in colour; and that's exactly what I love about it. I looked for this same shade from other brands, but I could not find the exact same shade! I usually wear this lipstick during the day because it is very bright. It has a creamy texture and a slight gloss. If you want something vibrant; this is the lipstick for you!

Rouge Pur Couture in shade 55 by YSL: this one is red with a slightly coral colour; the kinda red that you can wear at any time of the day. It has a semi-matte finish and is very comfortable to wear.

Rouge Allure in shade 99 - Pirate by Chanel: this one is deep red with blueish undertone. It makes teeth look whiter! It has a matte texture so it it very long lasting and very comfortable. I always go for this lipstick when I'm invited to formal events, because it is a deep, classic red!

Rouge in Love in shade 185N - Rouge Valentine by Lancome: this one is a dark pinkish-red lipstick. It has a matte texture, thus very long lasting and comfortable to wear. I think this lipstick is suitable to wear at any time of the day, because it is not too deep, but not too bright either.

Rouge Volupte Shine in shade 04 - Rouge in Danger by YSL: this one is the one I wear almost every day. It has a bright cherry-red colour, so it will add a pop of colour to your whole face, making look fresh. It is glossy and very moisturizing, but doesn't leave a waxy feeling, so it is very suitable for everyday use.

All of these lipsticks are slightly pricey, but I think they're worth their price, because they are very pigmented and long lasting, especially the Chanel and Lancome ones.
So these are my favourite five red lipsticks. If you are a red lipstick kinda girl like me, then I totally recommend you try these. If you would like me to post full reviews on any of these lipsticks, please tell me on the comment section below.
In the end I would like to say that life's too short, make every day a red lipstick day! Have a wonderful weekend ❤️

Marks & Spencer's Creamy Coconut Collection.

Hello beautifuls. I hope you all are well and happy.
I am someone who cannot go a day without bath and body products and of course passing by the goodies in Marks and Spencer, I found myself very tempted to try the ones they had. There were so many differently scented bath and body products, but since I love coconut scent so much, I decided to give this creamy coconut collection a try. I didn't get the full collection as I only needed the moisturizing body better, hand & body lotion and the shower gel.

Moisturizing body butter: this body butter is very moisturizing & makes my skin feel smooth, but I find it too thick! You actually need a chunk of the product rubbed hard on your skin so that skin can absorb it properly! It would really be much nicer if this body butter was a little bit more creamy.

Hand & body lotion: I LOVE this lotion! I love it's smell, I love how creamy & moisturizing it is! There's absolutely nothing negative I would say about this product; it's perfect <3

Shower gel: ok, to be honest the only thing I liked about this shower gel is that it doesn't leave skin too dry. Other than that, I was not very fond of it! It has a smell but it's too slight! Plus it doesn't smell like coconut at all!

Again; this collection contains more than just these three products. If I remember correctly; there were also hand & nail cream, talcum powder & bath foam. I don't remember the exact prices, but these didn't cost me much at all, so the good thing here is that you get loads for your money.
Would I buy these products again? I might repurchase the hand and body lotion, but not the other two!

Style Crush | Fan BingBing's Red Carpet Style.

I accidentally came across a few pictures of Fan BingBing on the internet and I immediately found myself falling in love with her red carpet style! Those of you who have never heard of FaFan BinBing; she is a Chinese actress who has been voted the most beautiful person in China in 2010 & also the best dressed international star in 2012. The media describes her as a fashion icon, which is something she deserves very well in my opinion.

For red carpet appearances, she is always looking admirably classy & very elegant. The picture above shows her with her stylist; Chris Bu & the amazing Lebanese designer Elie Saab.
What distinguishes her from other celebrities is her simple sophistication & her signature bold red lips that suit her very well. I leave you with a few pictures that show different red carpet styles from this fashion icon.

Fan BingBing also pays a lot of attention to her jewelry and what clutches she's carrying to the red carpet:

Fang Bingbing is someone who is very good at looking glamorously majestic at all times. I love that simple elegance about her red carpet style and the harmony in her different looks. What about you guys? I would love to know your opinion on Fan BingBing's red carpet style.

L’Oréal Professionel Pro-Keratin Refill.

Hello beautifuls.
In this post I'm going to share with you my point of view on the L’Oréal Professionel Pro-Keratin Refill collection, which consists of shampoo, conditioner and a mask. I tend to change the products I use for my hair regularly, because my hair gets used to them pretty quickly!

I bought the L’Oréal Professionel Pro-Keratin Refill collection from a local hair salon when I was looking for something that will provide treatment and nourishment for my dry & damaged hair. The three of them cost me about 25 OMR.

I have been using them 1-2 times a week for the past one and a half month. For the shampoo (250 ml), which feels very gentle on the hair, you simply apply it evenly through damp hair before rinsing it thoroughly. The conditioner (150 ml) and the mask (200 ml) are thick and are applied to washed and towel-dried hair & should be left on for 5 minutes before you rinse them thoroughly. They all smell very fresh and nice.

This collection contains keratin & L’Oréal says that it will "rebuild lost keratin in the hair to reconstruct and reinforce weak, fragile hair."
Using these products I expected my hair to feel smoother and become shinier and much more healthier. The shampoo works very well cleaning my hair and as I said before it is very gentle, so it doesn't leave my hair feeling dry after washing it. The mask works very well giving my hair the moisture it needs. It's like it wraps a protective layer around my hair making it feel smoother and healthier. The conditioner has nearly no effect on my hair compared to the mask.

Will I repurchase these products again? I would buy the shampoo and the mask again, but not the conditioner, because the mask works way better than the conditioner on my hair & I was very happy about how smooth it makes my hair feel. If you would like to give this collection a try, I'd recommend you buy the shampoo and the mask only.

Have you tried the L’Oréal Professionel Pro-Keratin Refill collection? What do you think of it? What hair products would you recommend for me to use next?
