Casual Work Outfit: 301012

I had a little extra time before I started work the other day so I thought I would try and take a couple of photos. This post features my favorite pair of jeans which is my black skinny fit jeans by Just USA. This brand has the most comfortable denim that you will ever try, wearing them is basically like wearing sweat pants. I tried searching the internet for a place they could be found online but I had no luck however, here is a link to their Facebook page. Once you try these you will never go back..

Also featured in this post is my Vero Moda blazer from my fall haul post.

Now on to the pictures:

Blazer: Vera Moda (more info here)

Hope you all enjoyed this post! Also just wanted to say I am on Instagram so feel free to follow me at @farkhar. Hope everyone is having a great week and a safe Halloween!

L'Oreal Infallible 24-Hour Eyeshadow in 021 Sahara Treasure

Hey Everyone!

I thought I would post my thoughts on the L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in 021 Sahara Treasure. This really is a neat product. I would describe it to be a deep gold with hints of taupe that come through. It is definetly more darker and more shimmery then as seen in the above image.  It is basically a pressed pigment and it comes with a stopper so the product stays compacted. The eyeshadow is definetly does not create the same amount of mess or fall out as a regular pigment. It has a buttery feel and blends out beautifuly. 
This eyeshadow is definitly one of those that you brush across your lid and go. I usually just put it all over my lid and then blend it into my crease. I have also used it with a darker eyeshadow in the crease and it turned out beautiful. It does have a bit of fall out so I suggest placing a tissue underneath your eye area when applying the shadow. Or just do you eye makeup before going on to do your face makeup.

I definitely think this is a step up for drugstore eyeshadow and if you ever come across these eyeshadows or see them on sale I highly recommend you pick up this shade or any other shade and give it a go. On a side note, I have heard that these are pretty similar to the Georgia Armani Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow but without the extensive price tag!
Now for the images/swatch:



Hope everyone is having a great weekend and Eid Mubarak to any of my Muslim followers! Feel free to leave any questions in the comment section below and I will make sure to get back to you.

Fall/Winter Skin Care Haul


Since fall is here now and winter is around the corner I thought it would be a good idea to go and grab some new skin care, especially since I am close to using up a lot the products in my current skin care routine. Shoppers Drug Mart was having a sale on Avene products so I figured this would be a good time to go and grab a few items.

Since I am not getting any younger I though now would be a good time to start using eye cream. I looked up some reviews on the Avene soothing eye cream and it seems like a lightweight eye cream which was exactly what I am looking for.


The next thing I got is also from the Extremely rich compensating cream. I have quiet a few dry patches on my skin at the moment so I wanted to find a moisturizer  I could use at night. I tried a bit on my hand and it has butter like consistency so its pretty thick. It also comes with a spatula which is good to have for sanitary reasons.





I also decided to get a cleanser I could use during the morning, I was previously using Cetaphil but it does contain parabens so I thought I would try and find something similar without parabens. So I got the Gentle milk cleanser and I'm hoping it will work well with my skin. Now I just need to find a night time cleanser! If you have any suggestions please leave em below!

That last thing I got is a non-Avene product and it is the Etival Urgen-C Hydrating Surge Mask, I wanted to try the Orgins Drink Up mask but then I saw this on sale and thought why not give it a go. Fingers crossed it works!

Well that pretty much sums up everything I purchased. I do plan on doing reviews on most of the products but if there is a particular product you want more information on feel free to leave a comment below!

Hope everyone has a great week up ahead of them, and Happy Thanksgiving once again to all of my Canadian followers.

Fall OOTD: 041012

Hey Guys,

Here is a really casual fall outfit starring one of the jackets from my last fall haul. I wore this when I went out to meet a friend for coffee and to do some relaxed studying.

Typically, I would wear this jacket with black pants but I opted for blue jeans which helped make the outfit a little more casual. I really like this jacket and I think its perfect for fall and it works well in keeping me warm (so far). Anyways, I think I'm just rambling non-sense so lets just get to the pictures:


Jacket: Zara TRF (current season - see haul)
Shoes: The brand is Nature Breeze
Jeans: Zara (old)
Plain White T: Blue Notes
Scarf:H&M (current season)
Rings: Asos
Bag: Ebay
Nails: Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Cinn-Snap



Alright folk that is all for this post. Hope everyone is having a great week and a Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian Followers!
