January is the month where most brands do crazy sales. So I wanted to share some of the things I bought throughout the sale. I didn't go crazy though.

Forever21:

I bought this super cute mask though it wasn't on sale but it was at a good price.Click here to buy

This sandals and top were crazy cheap and I thought they would be perfect for the upcoming summer.

Lace up sandals(10$)/Top(5$)

H&M:

I found this cutest leopard headband at H&M(in fact I'm wearing it now) and it was on sale for around 3$.

I've never tried H&M  hair products and I thought now is a great chance to buy and try them. So I bought the Nurturing Conditioner(5$) and Get It Straight Smoothing Balm(5$). I like H&M beauty products and accessories more than their cloth. I've done a review last year on their makeup here.

Bath and Body Works:

I bought 2 things from there Paris collection, the Bonjour Paris body spray and lotion.They smell of vanilla, and I've been using them daily. You can say I love Paris!

The Body Shop:

At The Body Shop I bought the Grape seed Glossing Serum for hair, wide tooth wooden comb and Vitamin E face moisturizer.

American Eagle Outfitters:

Found this really soft tank top in dark grey.

Ready to have the girliest night in? Well grab some snacks and let's get started.
Today is about having a relaxing day for yourself. Have a spa day, read, watch movies...

Movies:

Chic flix, comedy, romance... This is the chance to watch them with your friends. 

Some of my favorite movies to watch are:

Confessions of A Shopaholic

New York Minute

Material Girls

Monte Carlo

Flicka

A Cinderella Story

She's The Man

Books:

What a better chance to read your favorite book? Reading gives you company. Plus it's the perfect chance to start a new book with no distractions. If you want you can read uplifting girly books. I would recommend for that, books by Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk...

Snacks:

It's the perfect time to try a new hot chocolate recipe. Here is a simple recipe. Or you can have popcorn, fruits...

Spa Day:

You can have a hot bubble bath tp relax your muscles.(Lush and Bath and Body Works have some good ones). Also put on a facial mask to help moisturize your skin. And apply lotions and body creams because now is the perfect time. 

 

Have Fun!!!

Stop what you're doing and go now to Bath and Body Works, 2 days left only.The sale that is going on is buy 3(shower gel,  body splash and body lotion ) for 30,000LL only on the entire store!! So I directly thought of buying this set as a gift for Teacher's Day and Mother's Day. And the smell is GORGEOUS!

Hello Beautiful Set (I bought this for my sister on teachers day)

Japanese Cherry Blossoms Set (I love this! so yummy, I bought this set for my mom for Mother's Day)

H&M  had a sale on make-up, so a picked up a few items and tried them.They were pretty good, the blush, the concealer and the bronzer had a nice Matt finish. They are good for daily use, but not really pigmented. I bought each item for 5000LL (H&M Hamra-Lebanon)

Pure Velvet Cream Blusher (Dusty Rose)

The name itself is beautiful. Dusty Rose is one of my favorite colors , and this blush looks natural on.

Solar Flair Bronzing Powder (Sheer Tan)

Cream Lip Color (Brunette Ambition)

 This is my favorite, I really like the color and it has a really nice Matt finish. 

Cover-Up Concealer (Soft Sand)

I'm not really a fan of this concealer, it does not have a full coverage. But I'll give it more tries to see how it works.

Soft Kajal Eye Pencil (Black)

 A good eyeliner that doesn't get messed up easily.

A fresh new year, a fresh new start. Today I'm returning with a new blog style and a bunch of new interesting posts. In today's post I will show you some of the Victoria's Secret deals I found throughout the winter sale naming  the stores's location for all my Lebanese viewers. This haul is accumulated over the past few months(not at once :o).

Victoria's Secret:

Now I did went a little overboard shopping here.

First I bought this triple makeup bag set for 46.6$ (It wasn't on sale) and there was a deal Buy 2 get 2 free which was appropriate for Christmas presents.  The set includes 3 makeup bags of different styles 2 are normal size and one is bigger which can really come in handy.(Store: Victoria's Secret at City Center- Hazmieh)

It is similar to this.

Next purchase was perfume, body exfoliating, and lotion, and they were only for 10,000LL each. I bought these a few days after new year, and the sales were crazy! (Store: Victoria's Secret at City Center- Hazmieh)

PINK!

Pink(By Victoria's Secret) is one of my favorite stores. I bought from their a t-shirt and a few undies at their Semi Annual Sale .( Store: ABC Achrafieh Floor2). And after the sale was over  I bought 2 bras for 99thousand LL which is a deal going on right now.

And lastly, this over sized t-shirt.

 

Today we stand in the honor of women. Heads raised up, proud and powerful. We stand for every women in history and modern days that sacrificed, get hurt, was stepped on in order to pave a road for us today to live the dream "freedom, power and independence". To be able to talk, to have an opinion, to love, to be who we want to be and to dare to dream ... Happy Women's Day

March 8 International Women's Day

OMG! It's been too long. I missed writing here so much! Anyway today's post is going to be about the books I've read in the past period of time, so you won't miss much.
So I admit I didn't read that much and that's because of being so busy with work and college projects.But here's a little glimpse about the ones i read and enjoyed.

How to Fall in Love

by Cecelia Ahern

"She has just two weeks. Two weeks to teach him how to fall in love – with his own life.

Adam Basil and Christine Rose are thrown together late one night, when Christine is crossing the Halfpenny Bridge in Dublin. Adam is there, poised, threatening to jump. Adam is desperate – but Christine makes a crazy deal with him. His 35th birthday is looming and she bets him she can show him that life is worth living before then.

Despite her determination, Christine knows what a dangerous promise she’s made. Against the ticking of the clock, the two of them embark on wild escapades, grand romantic gestures and some unlikely late-night outings. Slowly, Christine thinks Adam is starting to fall back in love with his life.

But has she done enough to change his mind for good? And is that all that’s starting to happen?"

My favorite quote:

"Anna and the French Kiss

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris--until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all...including a serious girlfriend.

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?"

"13 Little Blue Envelopes

Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket.

In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat.

The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist.

Because of envelope 4, Ginny and a playwright/thief/ bloke–about–town called Keith go to Scotland together, with somewhat disastrous–though utterly romantic–results. But will she ever see him again?

Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it's all because of the 13 little blue envelopes."
