My favourite Foundations

I have clear skin so I don’t need too much coverage or touch ups, but when I do photoshoots and shoot my daily show on TV I love having a great foundation to give me a fresh silky look. Here is a review on some of my favorite foundations that I wear on the daily:

Giorgio Armani Face Fabric or Maestro

Pro: Silky Airbrushed Coverage for All Skin Types

I love how light this foundation is. And it makes my skin feel so luxe. You know you are wearing the best product wheb you can’t tell if you’re wearing any and this foundation gives my skin a healthy glow after. And the best part is that this foundation works best for any photoshoot. It doesn’t make my face pale or blank, so it’s definitely a must have for red carpet and formal events.
Tip: If you have oily skin, you should apply an oil-absorbing primer before the foundation!

Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation SPF15

This is a great for daily wear because it also has SPF in it. (And living in sunny Lebanon that’s a huge plus for me. I like using this especially during the summer when I go out for lunches and meetings because it’s a light coverage and gives me a fresh faced look not forgetting the sun protection. It’s also formulated to help improve your skin. Tom Ford make up is a bit pricey but worth every penny.

Go for Geometric Print Pants

It’s officially April and slowly we are heading towards the summer. The days are getting longer and the nights are getting warmer. It’s time to spice up your wardrobe. A great way to do this is by incorporating a pair of geometric print pants.

There are thousands of different  styles of print pants out there from cropped skinnies to wide legs, you can pick a silhouette that works best for your body type. After figuring out which shape works for you, it’s time to choose your pattern. 😍With options from diamonds to stripes to squares, decide on the pattern you want. If you are petite, keep the pattern on a smaller scale to make sure they pattern doesn’t overwhelm you. Keeping the print balanced will be the most suiting.
If you choose a skinnier, tailored pant you can go one of two ways. You can keep the entire outfit fitted with a blazer and a top which would look super modern for work or pair the pants with a more flowing top to contrast the silhouette of the pants. The same idea goes with a more wide pant. If you wear a loose top, a flowing pant gives a more bohemian look for weekend or you can add a crop top and jacket and achieve a more sophisticated look.
Keep in mind that if you are wearing a bold geometric print pant that you let them be the statement piece of the outfit. Make sure the look isn’t overloaded with too many colors or prints, however matching a small print with a large print can look ultra chic if they are kept in the same color palette.

Recently I got addicted to the fruit infused water as a part of my spring detox routine. I like to start my mornings with a glass of this magical fluid to kill the appetite & boost metabolism. This water is both delicious & healthy & you could easily make it at home. If you are a smoothie addict like me, try adding ice cubes to make it taste like a healthy frozen dessert.

Below are the few recipes you could try at home.

1. Strawberry + Mint + Water

This is basically a virgin strawberry mojito. To make the strawberry ice cubes, simply blended strawberries and froze it in ice cube containers overnight. You could also add some mint leaves for green ice cubes. When served, add a few strawberry & mint to your water. Keep in mind that mint will add a bit of bitterness to your drink, so you don’t want too much greens.
2. Pineapple + Orange + Water
This is by far the most delicious one! Blend pineapples & grated orange peels & then freeze. Along with the icecubes, add in a few orange slices for a sweet taste to your water!

3. Blueberry + Blackberry + Water
Berries are a great source of antioxidants so this is definitely a great way to maximize your health & metabolism by adding this to your water. You can also eat blueberries and blackberries while drinking your water. So just freeze them in the ice containers with the water & enjoy!

4. Lemon + Water

This is the queen of all fruit infused waters & very easy to do.easiest and most effortless to do. Either squeeze lemon juice into your water or just leave a lemon slice with the ice cubes.
Tip: as the ice cubes melt, the taste of your water gets better!

Which are you guys drinking this morning?

Hats 👒 are Back 😁

Hats are back & have made their way into everyone’s casual style. With many celebrities favoring fedoras or wide brim, Hat isdefinitely the “it” accessory of the Spring/Summer season👧.

I love Red Hats

I’m so excited for its return, but why did it disappear for so long?

👉According to the Wall Street Journal, “In the 1930s, ’40s, and parts of the ’50s, a man wasn’t considered fully dressed unless he had a hat on🎩. But by the 1960s, hat wearing fell off, partly as a result of longer hairstyles, cars with lower roofs and resistance from some World War II vets who didn’t want to wear things on their heads after wearing helmets for so long. John F. Kennedy’s habit of not wearing a hat was seen as the final blow for hat wearing”.

Dare to choose colourful Hats

Chanel brim Hat

The Secret behind your Glowing Foundation ?!

As I try to balance my Hectic schedule at work, I demand from any make up product to be a part of my skin care routine as well. Being exposed to camera lights 24/7 I desperately need a silicon-free product that reduces the oxidation & retains the moisture of my skin. When I found out about the ingredients and the concept of Tom Ford Illuminating Primer, I knew I must try it 😶.
Tom Ford Illuminating Primer is a hybrid between a Skincare and Makeup due to the patented Tom Ford Infusing Complex. The Complex enriches skin with a combination of specially selected nutrients that help skin stimulate its natural repair mechanisms. The skin is left looking renewed and smooth.😁

Tom Ford Illuminating Primer contains ultra fine micro shimmer that gives a healthy glow if used alone. There are several ways to use it:

1. As a moisturizer after a hydrating toner to seal the moisture of the skin.

Great as Skincare

Perfect in your purse 😉

2.As an illuminator, underneath foundation. After moisturizing my skin, I apply Illuminating Primer on my cheekbones, under the brown bones, cupid bow, and chin and blend lightly with a beauty blender sponge . Then I apply foundation on top of the primer as usual. That way I achieve the inner glow effect. It’s great for very natural healthy looking skin.💫

3. I like to apply a small amount all over the face to give a subtle glow to my skin.💥

4. Don’t forget to mix the primer with the foundation. It will blend perfectly & increase the glow for the foundation.👍

Tom Ford Illuminating Primer helps prevent oxidation. In order to minimize oxidation I apply an oil-free foundation on a well-moisturized skin. The primer serves as a barrier between my skin sebum and the foundation.
Evwen though it’s a bit pricey, the packaging is so convenient, compact and chic. It’s perfect for on the go and looks so elegant in my purse👸. I’m obsessed! I’m using it everyday 😁.
It’s a luxe product for your makeup👌. If you have dry, normal or combination skin, you will love it for all over your face. Ladies whose skin is oily might use it to highlight certain areas only.

On a rainy day ,,,, Do Homemade Mask !!

Even though it’s a 17c in Beirut, my skin still gets dry during in winter🌀❄️. So once in a while, I like to use this homemade mask to keep my skin soft & HYDRATED! Don’t forget to take notes so you can always use this mask on a rainy day like today.

Ingredients:
1 egg white
1/4 avocado
1 tsp plain yogurt

Step 1
Take a ripe avocado for this mask as it’s easier to work with. Using a table spoon, scoop out the avocado. 1/4 of an avocado is enough for 1 person, but you can double the amount if you’re doing it with your mom or bestie.

Step 2
Using a spoon, blend the avocado until it becomes smooth & creamy.

Step 3

Separate the egg white from the yolk & add it to the mixture. Egg whites are high in protein and are not only great for nourishing your body but your skin as well.

Step 4
Plain yogurt is great for your skin. It has acids that can smooth and fight discoloration. Add a tablespoon to your avocado mask to not only profit from the benefits of yogurt but to give your mask a smoother texture.

Step 5
Mix everything well!

Voila!

Over the knee Boots

If there is one item this season you shouldsplurge on, that would be a pair of over the knee boots👢

👉 These super sexy boots have been seen from every Fall/Winter fashion week, in different structures and colors to the streets of NY, Milan & Paris.

They are so sophisticated and chic no matter if you pair them with an oversized sweater and jeans or a little sexy dress. The boots could easily be mixed & matched with almost anything in your closet so you could let your fashion imagination go wild👌.
They look amazing with ab-so-lu-te-ly everything: leather jackets,wool coats, skirts, shorts, pants, denim and even turtleneck oversized sweater dresses.
This season it’s not about biker and riding boots anymore, it’s about thigh-high boots that won’t leave you unnoticed.😉
Just be careful while wearing such a statement piece: you don’t want to look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman😱. If you go for a skirt or shorts, keep the rest of the outfit simple and don’t show too much skin or cleavage.
Anything too revealing is unsuitable. These boots look best with bare legs but if you can’t go without tights, choose simple ones without any applications or fishnet, darker than your skin or opaque ones. Always remember that silhouette of the outfit is everything: as these boots are form-fitting and tight,
💫the rest of your look should be loose for example Mix a long sleeve dress and a coat with the boots: you will outshine everyone with sexiness while keeping it classy at the same time.

🎀 For a bold hippie look, you could pair your boots with a fedora or a floppy hat👒, while keeping the rest of the outfit simple and serene.

Magic of over the knee boots is in their versatility. They will work for both casual outfits and elegant dinner parties,for coffee with your friends and night out on the town as well. Such classic and timeless piece could be considered as the little black dress of 21st century.
Tell me your opinions: Do you like this trend? What are your favorite over the knee boots?❤️
