FENTY BEAUTY by RIHANNA (PS. long post) It has been a long time coming. Now it's here! Behold! FENTY BEAUTY, the new makeup line created by the pop icon Rihanna . Luckily, it was launched here in Dubai on a Friday (it means, I'm on a day off. Hurray!) So, when I saw that it will launch at 10am, I set my alarm to be able to go to Sephora Dubai Mall by the said time. Now, as I set foot to Sephora quite few people are clumping up to the Fenty Beauty counter. As I check the counter my initial reaction was "OMG!" with heavy breathing.  And so, I ask an employee (Mr. Dee Jay) to help me find my shade on the foundation and other things. I also  had a make over (thanks to Mr. Narciso) with the products that I bought  and below are the items I grabbed and my initial review. To know more about it, continue reading... 1.

I know this foundation had so much reviews already (from youtube to instagram) and still, here I am writing another review. You may say, "Yeah, I have read and seen so much about this foundation" but I wanted to share my own experience with this foundation without any bias. So let me start with my first use.  Sadly, I had an allergic reaction (hell yeah!). My cheeks were swollen overnight that I had to take medication (that's how worse an allergic reaction on me - due to sensitive skin) but do not fret, I often get allergic reaction so it's all normal to me.  After it has subsides, I tried it once again. To my surprise, my skin didn't react! I was so happy so I continuously used if for over a week and from then on, it has never failed me. In fact, it is already included on my list of "favorites" Now, let me just break it down into bullet forms the good things about this foundation: a little goes a long way works well with a sponge or brus...

Korean cosmetics are in! Todays post is about two Korean brands that took the limelight to be the best korean cushions. Below is a short detailed review on these cushions. April Skin Magic Snow Cushion #23 - Medium to full coverage - Smooth and flawless finish - Velvet finish - Long lasting - Moisturizing - With SPF 50+ PA+++ - Tacky but sets after few minutes. Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control #21 - Hides pores nicely - light to medium coverage - Demi matte finish - Moisturizing - With SPF 50+ PA+++ - Not tacky - Natural looking  OVERALL: These cushions are my favorite. They work perfectly on my dry sensitive skin. These would be amazing during winter for as they are non-drying and works on different skin types.
