<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-99-xR54kcl8/XCW4sOqev2I/AAAAAAAARwk/uvXPzjbuV7kks5dMlXsHopu3kiNXir0lQCLcBGAs/s1600/2018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="967" data-original-width="935" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-99-xR54kcl8/XCW4sOqev2I/AAAAAAAARwk/uvXPzjbuV7kks5dMlXsHopu3kiNXir0lQCLcBGAs/s640/2018.jpg" width="617" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It has been a hot minute since I have posted anything on here. My last post was in 2014...Can you believe it?!<br />
<br />
My blog was always a passion of mine and as soon as my life and other priorities took over (Articling CPA student/Working a real full-time job) I sadly had to part ways with my blog. Although I left, my blog was never forgotten. I mean what can I say? There is nothing like sharing your random musings with the internet.<br />
<br />
Now that 2019 is just a few days away, I find myself reflecting on the past year. 2018 was a wonderful year, I got to travel to new places that and meet new people. But when I really think about it, if I could describe 2018 in one word it would be 'exhausting'. Always working and never having time to myself was a constant theme throughout, and its true what they say self-care is without a doubt important.<br />
<br />
So you're probably wondering why I'm back with a post today, and the reason is in the last couple of months I had family and a few of my friends ask me about my blog and what had happened to it. It made me sad that I let something so important to me and something that I worked so hard on, go. To be honest, I always wanted to make my triumphant return but I mean who even blogs anymore? With Instagram, Tumblr and Snapchat, the game for blogging has completely changed over the last few years. Who would even find my content interesting? It then dawned on me, that it didn't matter who would as along as I was enjoying blogging and my total of 4 readers were finding value in my content. <br />
<br />
I could go on forever about why I left, why I came back. Also is writing not an amazing outlet for all of the chaos in your head?<br />
<br />
With that said, here is to 2019 where I try salvage this space and hope that you will join me on this journey.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<br />
<br />
Since I am nearing the end of my current daytime moisturizer which is the Orgins Dr. Andrew Weil for Orgins Mega Bright SPF 30 moisturizer, I thought I would do a review. This moisturizer claims to lighten dark spots and and prevent further discoloration of the skin. According to the Sephora website, It is formulated with rosa roxburghii, white peony and melanin-inhibiting palmaria.<br />
<br />
One of my major skin care concerns is hyper-pigmentation left behind from previous breakouts. Because of this, I wanted to get a daytime moisturizer with an SPF to prevent further discoloration and help the healing process. So when I came across this particular moisturizer I figured I would give it a go since it is suppose to help with pigmentation and it contained an SPF. <br />
<br />
First lets start of with the smell, it does have a scent but it is nothing overpowering and I for one really enjoy it. The scent doesn't linger at all and after application I rarely ever smell. The consistency is more on the thicker side, which allows for it to be is pretty moisturizing. Once you apply it your face isn't left sticky or overly shiny and it creates a good base for your foundation. Overall, the product itself is good. If you are looking for a simple daily moisturizer and have dry skin then this one is a good way to go. The only complaint I would have is the whole "Mega Bright" aspect, over the course of me using this product, I never found my skin to be any brighter than usual nor did I see it helping my hyper-pigmentation. I would say this is where the product fell short for me because it was basically the reason I purchased this particular moisturizer. However, it did a good job moisturizing my skin and I definitely did enjoy using it as a daily moisturizer and it never broke me out (works well in the heat too!). <br />
<br />
Considering skin care is so personal and what may not work for me may work for you. I would definitely suggest hitting up Sephora and trying a sample of the moisturizer out for yourself. Especially if you're in the market for a new one and were considering this one. And as always, if you have any questions leave them down below.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

I purchased this quad a little while ago and thought I would share my thoughts. I have had a pretty good experience with the Maybelline Chai Latte quad and few of the others. Since this particular quad was on sale I thought I would give it a go.<br /><br />However, much to my dismay, this quad wasn't particularly as pigmented as I had initially expected it to be. In comparison to the chai latte quad it much less pigmented in my opinion. With that said, is this quad a complete write off? No. The liner and crease color in the quad are more pigmented and can be used to create a subtle brown smoky eye. The base color isn't bad either but it really confuses me as to why there is so much more of it? Which leads me to the last shade in the quad the lid color. This shade is very sheer and can hardly be seen over the base shade. The shadows themselves are more on the chalky side and not very smooth, which you can actually see in the swatch down below. <br /><br />Overall, I think I would pass on the quad considering how much more not only Maybelline as a line has to offer but other drugstore/high-street brands have to offer. There are so many smoky brown palletes you could go for instead of this one. It is such a shame considering how beautiful the shades look. <br /><br />Here is a look I created using the pallete:<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1NjJL4wyQKk/U2MVkctPsPI/AAAAAAAAA2s/xSQlSEeNK80/s1600/Natural+Smokes+1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1NjJL4wyQKk/U2MVkctPsPI/AAAAAAAAA2s/xSQlSEeNK80/s1600/Natural+Smokes+1.png" height="267" width="640" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1NjJL4wyQKk/U2MVkctPsPI/AAAAAAAAA2s/xSQlSEeNK80/s1600/Natural+Smokes+1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Here are some swatches: <span style="font-size: x-small;">*Not the best at photographing swatches :( </span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xkoIDWtPFSU/U2MZyVfEjVI/AAAAAAAAA3A/2VXBFTt8o2E/s1600/Swatches.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xkoIDWtPFSU/U2MZyVfEjVI/AAAAAAAAA3A/2VXBFTt8o2E/s1600/Swatches.png" height="303" width="400" /></a><br />Farhaaahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513633271037130634noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282448169554155373.post-61715226394136313152014-02-06T17:58:00.001-07:002014-02-06T18:27:07.360-07:00My Top 5 Winter Essentials<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
Because I live in Canada, I have had quiet my fair share of experiencing cold weather. I though it would be a great idea to do a quick post on my top 5 winter essentials. Most of these are directed towards dealing with really dry skin. So if you have dry skin and live in warmer climate you may also find some these suggestions helpful.<br />
<br />
1. So the first winter essential I have for you is a lip balm. It is <u><b>the Kiehl's LIP BALM #1</b></u> (yes, that is the name). It has an SPF of 4 and is a petrolatum based lip balm that can also be used as a skin protectant. I use this lip balm at night before bed and when I wake up my lips are moisturized, and well hydrated. They sometimes even look a little plump which is always a plus. <br />
<br />
2. The next product on my list is the <u><b>Triple Moisture Body Cream from Bath and Body Works</b></u>. I find applying any sort of body product a chore in the winter time
because it is freezing and I rather put on my pajamas instead of
slathering on cold body cream and waiting for it to absorb. One of the reasons I really like this product because it truly is non greasy which allows it to absorb quickly. With this body cream I don't have to wait so long and the scent (Coconut Lime Breeze) makes the whole process a little less daunting. In summary, this is a great body moisturizer and works great in the winter to prevents you from having dry itchy skin.<br />
<br />
3. <u><b>Josie Maran Argan Oil </b></u>has been my night time face moisturizer ever since I got my hands on it. I was at first hesitant to use this product because it is an oil and my skin is prone to breaking out. But after reading reviews online I thought I would take the risk and give it a go. And I am quite glad I did, it has been an amazing moisturizer for skin and I feel like it has been improving my skin tone. I definitely think I need to use the oil more before I can comment on any other benefits it has provided. But I can assure it makes a great moisturizer for dry flaky skin. <br />
<br />
4. The next product I would like to share with you is the <u><b>Orgins Drink Up 10 minute mask</b></u>. This is a great mask to use on those lazy Sundays during the winter months. I find this mask instantly adds a boost of hydration to my skin. The Orgins masks are some of the most popular and hyped up masks in the blogging and YouTube world so I don't think there products need much convincing. Basically, its a great mask and it smells divine. <br />
<br />
5. The last product I have to recommend is <u><b>Ole Henrikson Express the Trust </b></u>night time moisturizer. Now I have only been recently been using this product and was initially going to recomment the Avene Ultra Rich Compensating Cream. But after some thought I figured this would be a more suitable recommendation to make because for one, in my experience it provides similar results without being to heavy on the skin and if you are one of those with oily/combo skin you probably won't like the Avene moisturizer. On the other hand, the Ole Henrikson Express the Truth is really nourishing but has a much lighter consistency in comparison to the Avene moisturizer. In addition, as much as I love the Avene moisturizer it contains shea butter (which is most likely why the formulation is so thick) which can be harder for the skin to break down and can even cause clogged pores. So if you have extremely dry skin and are looking for a night time moisturizer I would try the Ole Henrikson Express the Truth, it contrain Vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid and smells of oranges, which I personally love!<br />
<br />
Well those are my top 5 recommendations. If you have any questions or recommendations of your own please leave a comment down below. Hope everyone has great rest of the week<br />
<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4IZaqoCdWBo/UqOmyvdt3LI/AAAAAAAAAzg/Un0HxhIhdCc/s1600/CGG+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4IZaqoCdWBo/UqOmyvdt3LI/AAAAAAAAAzg/Un0HxhIhdCc/s640/CGG+6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
I finally received my VIB sale order in the mail this past week. I may have gone a little overboard with the amount of stuff I purchased but hey, the VIB sale only happens once a year. I made the order on Nov 16th and it took about ten days for me to receive my goods. <br />
<br />
I wanted to get this post up as soon as possible because it seems like a couple of these items are disappearing off the Sephora website however, I'm hoping some of them can still be found at your local Sephora. All of these would make for a great Christmas gift for the makeup junkie in your life (or you). So I have posted my haul of the gift sets I got in hopes that this overview will help some of you out!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zLETwE645HU/UqOmv7i8ebI/AAAAAAAAAzE/eI_0l-rzrfI/s1600/CGG_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0x_Mv_4Je7U/UqOmxEMoc0I/AAAAAAAAAzY/0tMHlS5UT5s/s1600/CGG_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="552" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0x_Mv_4Je7U/UqOmxEMoc0I/AAAAAAAAAzY/0tMHlS5UT5s/s640/CGG_4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The first thing I got is the <u><b>Ole Henrikson 3 Little Wonders</b></u>. They have this set available year round and it includes 3 full size products. You get a full size truth serum collagen booster (1oz/30ml), Invigorating Night Gel(1 oz/30ml) and Sheer transformation brightening moisturizer(1oz/30ml). I was introduced to this kit by one of my good friends and her suggestions never leave me astray. In fact, this is my fourth time purchasing this kit and that in itself can atone to you how great the products are. I will be doing a more in depth post on this kit soon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-45Fk_yxHpds/UqOmxI7sjSI/AAAAAAAAAzU/P7WXlEymDQ4/s1600/CGG_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="608" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-45Fk_yxHpds/UqOmxI7sjSI/AAAAAAAAAzU/P7WXlEymDQ4/s640/CGG_5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The second item I got is the <u><b>SEPHORA COLLECTION Desert Sunset Eyeshadow and Blush Palette</b></u>. Basically, I got this cause because of the price. It was only $11.00 and includes 12 eye shadows, a blush and bronzer. Its a great little set and they eye shadows are pretty good quality (they're no Urban Decay, but they are good!), I think all of the shades make great colors for the winter season. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zLETwE645HU/UqOmv7i8ebI/AAAAAAAAAzE/eI_0l-rzrfI/s1600/CGG_1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="506" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zLETwE645HU/UqOmv7i8ebI/AAAAAAAAAzE/eI_0l-rzrfI/s640/CGG_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The third set I received was what the purchase I was most excited about. It is the <u><b>Sephora Favorites Super Stars gift set</b></u>. It includes 9 full size products along with 3 very decently sized minis. It is an amazing value (C$336/US$280) for the price you pay (C$90/US$75). Moreover, the majority of these products are amazing and include my one of my favorite blushes of all time (Nars Orgasm), I have over the past week tried out the majorit of the products and so far they have all been two thumbs up. The only product I would be concerned with is the Two Faced Better Than False Lashes system. I have heard from a few blogs that this mascara is horrendous to remove and is very sticky. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next gift set I purchased is the <u><b>Tarte </b></u><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><u><b>Pure Delights 8-Piece LipSurgence Lip Set</b></u>.
I have heard quite a bit of hype over these lip pencils and I believe
they're one of the first of their kind (ie Revelon Kissable Balm Stain,
Clinique chubby sticks). Anyways, the set includes 8 different shades in
the original formula as well as a matter formula. This would be a great
gift for someone starting out with makeup looking for to experiment
with different lip colors. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><br />Last but not least, I picked up the </span></span><u><b>Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Anti-Aging Starter Kit</b></u>, this was a great deal because for some reason it was discounted to C$50 and then along with 20% off (from the VIB sale) it was quite the steal. Even though this particular set is targeted towards anti aging it would work for a variety of people. This particular set is suppose to help with hydration, texture and the tone of your skin. Unfortunately, this set is no longer available on the Sephora website however they have the <u><b>Art of Age Control Kit </b></u>which is somewhat similar. I would try checking you local Sephora to see if they have any laying around. On a side not, make sure if you do decide to gift this or something similar, that the receipent doesn't take it the wrong way.<br />
<br />
Well folks that is it for Part I. Be on the lookout for Part II which focuses on my singular purchases (no gift sets). <br />
<br />
Hopefully, you enjoyed this post and were able to pick up some ideas. A lot of these sets can also be split up and gifted to more than one individual.<br />
<br />
Happy Shopping,<br />

Hey Everyone!<br />
<br />
I come to you today with a couple of quick last minute Halloween ideas. They are all pretty simple and require minimal effort.<br />
<br />
The first two options are related and can be seen in all its glory above. It is the Ring Girl from the movie The Ring and the Static TV she crawls out of. If you have seen the movie you will know exactly what scene I am refering to. So if you have long black hair like I do and friend without a costume, than this costume will be relatively easy for you<u><br /></u><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><u><b>Ring Girl costume:</b></u></u></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>Items needed:</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-long black hair or a wig of some sort</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a white dress or a long white shirt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-black and white face paint ( if you have nothing laying around at home try using a light foundation and some black eyeshadow) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>Directions:</i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All you have to do is put on your outfit and go to town on your face with the black and white face paint. Use the black to create shadows and a sunken look to your face. Part your hair in the middle and bring it forward so your face is partially hidden underneath your hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Static TV costume:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><i>Items needed:</i></u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
-black poster board</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-aluminum foil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-sharpie</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-pipe cleaners</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-old head band</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-string</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>Directions:</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take you aluminum foil and glue it on to your black poster board, then take your black sharpie and draw dots all across the TV to make it seems like there is static. Add a string to the back of the poster board so you can put the TV around your neck. Feel free to add any other details to make your TV look more realistic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the antenna, take an old head band and wrap some pipe cleaners around the head band, take your foil and scrunch it up to make 2 little aluminum balls which you can stick on top of the pipe cleaners. Use tape if needed! Dress up in all black and white and you will be good to go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
If you have any questions feel free to leave them down below! Have a Happy Halloween and thanks fo reading!<br />

<br />Who says you can't rock a pink lip during fall?<br /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I come to you with my perfect combination for a hot pink lip. These two colors will create the perfect pink color that is wearable enough during the day or at night. I have worn this combination with a ton of different eye looks and I find it suits them all pretty well. <br /><br />The lip stick is from the<b> Dior Addict Extreme</b> line and is in the<b> shade 553 Princess Extreme</b> <i>(seems like this shade was limited edition, I have seen it around at a few counters so check your local Dior counter, Dior Addict Highshine in 454 Rose Show is a really good dupe!)</i> This shade in particular is a yellow toned hot pink that you can apply a lightly or go full on depending on how deep you want the color to be. I find the formula for this range of lipsticks to be one of my
favorites because they are build-able, creamy, moisturizing and last but not least, just plain beautiful. I am patiently waiting for the Sephora friends and family sale so I can pick up another shade <strike>or two</strike>.<br /><br />The other half to the duo is <b>Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in 57 Insolence</b>. This lip gloss is somewhat of a gel texture and is non stick with a very high shine which is most likely due to the gel formulation. I don't find it particularly sticky but it does have a bit tackiness. The gloss is definitely more of blue toned pink which is why it works so well with the lipstick. The two neutralize each other out which helps to create the perfect pink color.<br /><br />Here is the duo in all its glory:<br /></div>

Hey Everyone!<br /><br />Its been a while since I posted anything about jewellery which is odd because I love jewellery. During the past few weeks I have been gravitating towards gold jewellery. I think the warmer tones really add something to an outfit during the cooler fall months. In fact, I think during winter and fall gold jewellery is a must. <br /><br />The photo above include some of the pieces I have been sporting as of late. Sorry about the poor quality of the photo, I couldn't get a proper photo no matter what I tried. If you're wondering where you can find these pieces the Cuff and Earring Cuff are both from H&M (the bracelet is over year old but you can find something similar at forever21), the necklace, bracelet and studs are all from forever 21 and are for the most par recent purchases so try having a peek at you local forever 21. The rings are from a local store but infinity midi rings can be found basically anywhere! <br /><br />Hope you enjoyed this short post, and thanks for reading!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian followers<br /><br />Farhaa<br />x<br /></div>

<br />
Recently, a few friends of mine and I took a little trip to Montreal.
We
had an amazing time and those rumors you hear about the French being
rude aren't true at all! Everyone we met was so lovely and wonderful and
I
can't wait to go back.So if you're stuck wondering where you should
take your next vacay I would recommend considering Montreal. Anyways,
while we were there I took some photos of the details in some of our
outfits. I hope you enjoy the photos and can perhaps gather some
inspiration of your own.<br /><br />If you have any questions on any certain piece please leave them down below.<br /><br />Farha<br />x<br />

<br />
Whilst I was in Montreal I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Inglot store. Inglot isn't readily available where I live and I think there is actually only a couple Inglot locations in all of Canada. While I was there one of the girls working there told me they were working on a better online store for the rest of us Canadians. I think if you want to make an order you can but you have to personally email someone with the items you want to buy and they will be shipped to you. Anyways, while I was there I picked up 4 of the O2M breathable nail enamels which are suppose to be water permeable? (I don't think they are water permeable, there are several videos on YouTube in which you can see that these are not water permeable, if you would like me to do a test feel free to leave comment down below) I also picked up 2 of there eye shadows. <br />
<br />
So far I haven't really played much with the nail colors, I would say the all need two coats to be fully opaque except the blue one you could probably get away with just one coat. I do plan on wearing the red one tonight so maybe I will edit this part with an update on how I found the wear and formula to be. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, I did get a chance to play with the eye shadows which are from the Freedom System range, and they are definitely worth all the hype you hear on blogs and YouTube. They are highly pigmented as you can see in the swatches down below and they lasted on me all day without hardly any fading. Also, I got to give a shout out to their magnetic packaging, I love it! It is so sleek and compact and you never have to worry about it opening up in your bag or any of the side hinges breaking, definitely two thumbs up! Hopefully, I will be able to get more colors cause their range is beautiful. If you are in the US or Europe and have a location available to you I definitely recommend having a look at their eye shadows if you haven't already!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E1Cm3ol-fgg/UeDETwv5hWI/AAAAAAAAAtI/qcnVTbkGc5A/s1600/SAM_46644.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E1Cm3ol-fgg/UeDETwv5hWI/AAAAAAAAAtI/qcnVTbkGc5A/s640/SAM_46644.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
Today, I thought I would share with you guys one of my two of my favorite go-to make up products for the summer time. The first one that I am going to mentions is by Nars and it is their blush in Luster. Luster is described to be a sheer golden apricot, I would describe it as being a peachy orange with red undertones. It is really pretty on the cheeks and warms up the skin a little making it look like you have a nice glow or have been in the sun a little to long. I recommend this blusher to anyone as I think it would be suitable to most skin tones. I especially think this blusher would look good on those with blue eyes because the color of the blush would help your eyes stand out more!<br />
<br />
You can purchase it at your local Sephora or the Sephora <a href="http://www.sephora.com/blush-P2855" target="_blank">website</a>.<br />
<br />
The next product I would like to suggest to all you is the Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple. It is no secret that I love my red lip sticks and Candy Apple is a red lipstick that has a more sheer formulation. It can be easily be built up to a more brighter red and can also be toned down and more sheered out. I think the color and the formulation are especially great for the summer time. I tend to go for more of a bright lip rather than doing my eyes during the summer because it is so much hotter and I don't want to end up with panda eyes.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Revlon Lip Butter can be purchased at you local drugstore.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_C8-CV7-blY/UfdPgkLKjpI/AAAAAAAAAuw/1CP4Vg6g9Us/s1600/IMG_4809.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_C8-CV7-blY/UfdPgkLKjpI/AAAAAAAAAuw/1CP4Vg6g9Us/s640/IMG_4809.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="r">
<br /><br />I was recently at the drugstore picking up some necessities and instead of getting my usual go to products I thought I would pick up a few new items to try. The first thing I got is the <b>Indeed Labs pepta-bright.</b> Now that my skin is a little less prone to breaking out I wanted to get something that would fade those pesky dark scars that get left behind. I figured if <a href="http://www.beautymouth.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Hirons</a> decided to give it her stamp of approval it must be somewhat good. Fingers crossed this work and my skin stay blemish free.<br /><br />The next thing I got is another skin care product and it is the <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">V<b>ichy Pureté Thermale 3-in-1 One Step Cleanser </b>(cleansing milk). Now the only reason I got this was because I needed a new cleanser and it was on sale for I believe $12.99 in comparison to $19.99 and because it is a non-foaming cleanser. I did try this out last night and I hate to say I did not like it. The package claims to remove eye makeup and mine barely budged and I don't wear waterproof eye makeup, and I found none of my other face make up moving either. The cleanser also claims to tone and cleanse the skin. Once I was done cleansing, I touched my face and it was soft but it felt as though there was some sort of film left behind from the cleanser. Afterwards, I grabbed my toner and a cotton round and I found there to be quite a bit of makeup on the cotton round which of course means using this cleanser will probably just leave me with congested skin. Quite unfortunate especially because I massaged the cleanser in quite a bit, I must admit I had high hopes and was sadly disappointed. <br /><br />The last thing I got was a make up item, and it is the coveted <b>benefit's They're Real mascara. </b>In the last little while, I have heard and seen so much hype about this mascara all over YouTube and the blogosphere. Now, I've never tried a higher end mascara because honestly I have always loved all the on ones I try at the drugstore. But with all the hype my interests were piqued and I thought I would give it a go. I tried it out for the first time today and honestly I didn't really like it, I found it didn't give me much volume and made my lashes feel crispy and look spidery. However, it did lengthen my lashes quite a bit and I do like the shape of the wand. I heard if you use it a bit more it is suppose to get better so I'm hoping next time I use it I will more impressed. I think I'm going to head back to the drugstore and get my favorites: L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black and Covergirl Lash Blast<br /><br />Up close of the wand:<br /></span></span></div>

<br />It literally has been ages since I have posted anything so I would like to apologize for that. Basically, I just wasn't feeling inspired. Blogging is one of my hobbies and I don't want to force myself to do something I don't feel passionate about. Anyways, I am once again getting the urge to blog so I guess this is me returning to my dusty little blog. <br /><br />In:<br /><br />Blue nails! <br /><br />Dexter: The final season of Dexter is starting in 2 days! Can't believe they are ending the show and I can't wait to see how they plan on ending the series. Also another TV show that I have been enjoying lately is Flight of Concords, it could probably be described as a "indie glee". It is a hilarious show and I recommend you check it out if you are looking for something to watch.<br /><br />Zara Sale for summer and spring is on! And there is finally shipping to Canada and which means I can shop form the comfort of my own bed! :)<br /><br />Music: I have a few songs I would like to share<br /> Bloc Party - Ratchet<br /> Lorde - Tennis Court<br /> Avicii - Wake me Up <br /> Milky Chance - Flashed Junk Mind<br /> Woodkid feat.

Out:<br /><br />School: I can't wait to be done... it feels like I have been in school forever. Its not that I mind school, its just all the stress that comes along with being in school.<br /><br />Unorganized: My room is horrendous... ever since I cam back from my little vacay I have not kept up with keeping my room in order, and I can not find anything in my room which then leads to me to clutter my room up even more as I go looking for said lost item. Not that my room is ever spotless ..I just need to restore order. <br /><br />Rain: I don't know why but rain has been a major part of the forecast. It is summer now and even though I don't like heat a few sunny days would be nice instead of the gloomy grey skies. <br /><br />Anyways, thank you to anyone who gave this a read!

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oiB30Jt2UGE/UTQFIq-MYNI/AAAAAAAAArc/ga6AkBlFiKg/s1600/Ren.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oiB30Jt2UGE/UTQFIq-MYNI/AAAAAAAAArc/ga6AkBlFiKg/s640/Ren.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Welcome to the Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask bandwagon. There is a probably a zillion and one reviews on this mask so I'm going to keep my thoughts on this product quite short. <br />
<br />
When I decided to try out the mask I went with the 'exclusive to sephora' kit which comes with a full sized Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, a mini Micro Polish Cleanser and a mini radiance perfection serum. When I first used the mask I used all three products in conjunction, the cleanser was nice but it seems like your typical exfoliating cleanser. <br />
<br />
Now for the mask, when the product is pumped out your left with a gloppy almost jam consistency that has an orangey smell. I slather the product all over my face and leave it on for about 10-15mins. The first time I used it I realized next to no difference in the appearance of my skin. After all the hype I had read surrounding the mask you can bet I was disappointed and to the back of my medicine cabinet this product went. Then a couple weeks ago my skin was just not in its best condition and I was searching my stash for something to rejuvenate my skin and I came across the mask again. I used the cleanser, then the mask, followed by the serum and I woke up the next day to glowing skin. My skin was significantly smoother, the tone of my skin was more uniform and I had an overall glow. More over, my make up went on more smoothly and flawlessly. Basically, this mask receives an overall thumbs up from me and is going to have a permanent slot in my Sunday evening schedule.<br />
<br />

shirts can basically be found anywhere at the moment. I founds this one
at Zara during their semi annual sale. I love the fading of the denim
and the slight distressed feel the shirt has. It is also really
comfortable and I can see myself wearing it quiet a bit in the coming
months. However, when I got it from Zara it had an awful, awful smell to
it. Has this happened to anyone?<br /><br />Now for the mustard! Every time I went into Dynamite (a Canadian store), for some reason I always gravitated towards this particular sweater. It was one of those items that you always look at but never buy. Then one day I saw it on sale and figured I should just get it. I really don't know how much wear I will get out of it but I love the color and up close the sweater almost has a slight sheen to it. On the down side, I feel like its one of those knits that will quickly lose its shape.<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now for the rest of my outfit, everything else you see is what I wear on any other given day. Wax Denim from Zara, if not these I usually wear a pair of faux leather pants I purchased a while back from Vero Moda or my faux leather pants from H&M. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /> The ankle boots were actually a great steal from Sears. I got them on boxing day for $15! They are not the greatest quality but are very comfortable to walk in. I got them in the black and tan, check your nearest Sears to see if they are still around, the brand is Jessica.</div>

<br />
So I have a simple look for you guys today. It is really easy to do and hopefully will help those looking for some inspiration for their Valentines Day look. I actually wore this look to a recent concert (Muse) I went to, and I thought it would make a great look for valentines day. It is different then the one I did <a href="http://aaperception.blogspot.ca/2012/02/valentineseveryday-glowing-look.html" target="_blank">last year</a> which was more of a natural blushing look. I think this is a radiant, easy look which can be worn on Valentines Day, either with your significant other or while eating a tub of ice cream and watching the latest episode of Suits.<br />
<br />
On a side note... I have been really into red lipstick again so coincidentally I am wearing the same lipstick I am in my last post. Also, apologies for the hair, I was in a rush and had just washed it and I did not realize it was all over my face.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So now for the make up:<br />

<br />
Hey Everyone,<br />
<br />
So I have a small beauty haul even though I have been trying to not spend money. It is just waay to difficult with all of the sales that have been going on. Anyways, I headed over to mac and purchased the coveted satin taupe. I figured it was about time considering all the hype that surrounds this particular shade. <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(swatch down below)</span></i><br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CZ0d1XRoZsc/UQ6SwTEZeEI/AAAAAAAAAo4/_eLutju0VA4/s1600/IMG_2582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CZ0d1XRoZsc/UQ6SwTEZeEI/AAAAAAAAAo4/_eLutju0VA4/s640/IMG_2582.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /><br />While I was there I also picked up Brick-Ola which comes in the creme
amplified formula so it goes on opaque right away. Although, I really do
love the shade it wouldn't be a favorite mine as I find it to be a bit
to warming with my skin tone. <br /><br />I shamelessly also picked up two other lipsticks. Shoppers Drug Mart was recently having a sale on lip butters so I picked up the shades Candy Apple and Raspberry Pie. I love this particular formula and have used all the other ones I own to their very end. Raspberry Pie is a bright pink fuchsia which will be great for the spring and Candy Apple is a more of an orange toned red with no shimmer. For those wondering, the Revlon lip butter in Cherry Tart is more blue tones and has shimmer. <br /><br /> <br />

The last think I got is two new glitter polishes from Maybelline in Gold's Night Out and Ruby Rhinestones. In all honesty I haven't been to impressed with the Maybelline color show formula. I have found the formula for the ones I have tried to be very thin and sheer. However, I couldn't help it and had to pick up the these two beauties. I do think they are good considering there price point ($2.97) and the formula for these is pretty good compared to the other I have tried, though they could be a bit more glossier.<br /><br />
That is all for my little haul. Hope you all have a great week up ahead and I will do my best to post more often. <br /><br />Thanks for reading,<br />Farha<br />x <br />

<br />
Hey everyone!<br /><br />Thought I would post something a little different today and share my quick recipe for Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate. I found the squares at my local wal-mart and of course if you're not a fan of peppermint feel free to substitute the squares to a different flavor. This has been one of my favorite drinks this season especially because it turns out really rich and chocolatey.<br />
<br />You will need the following items:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Steps:</u></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><u>
</u>1. Warm up about 350 ml or 12oz of milk (or water, I prefer milk) on medium heat</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">
2. Once the milk is warm enough take 3-4 squares depending on the richness you want, and melt thing into the milk on at a time.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">
3. If you want more of chocolate flavor add in some of your favorite hot
chocolate mix, this step is optional. If you like you're hot chocolate
really minty I would skip this.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">
4. Use a whisk to make sure everything is melted in and you have no bits of chocolate or hot chocolate powder.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">
5. Pour it into your favorite mug and add a lot of whip creme.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">
6. Break one of the <span style="font-size: small;">squares up and sprinkle on top</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
7. Enjoy!!</span></div>

<br />
I wanted to a quick post on something a little different. Menswear. I
can't help but love how simple but detailed a lot of the pieces in
menswear is. Sometimes I catch myself dwelling in the men's section of a
lot of my favorite stores. I find that a lot of the pieces I like
aren't very loud, like you usually see in women's wear. It is all about
the color and cut and in most cases of course, how everything is put
together. <br />
<br />
Here is an outfit idea for christmas/new years or any other parties you
may be attending. Unfortunately, they are not the best of quality cause I
did not have my camera that day. Before we get to the pictures I would
like to thank my cousin Zubair, for being the 'model' for this post. You
can check him out on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/zubs_k" target="_blank">zubs_k</a> and on instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/zubs_k" target="_blank">zubs_k</a><br />

<br />
What can I say? Its been a long time. The past three weeks have been super hectic with finals and papers, and all of the other school related non-sense. Anyways, I thought I would show you one of my favorite nail colors for this season. Which is dark red or the so called 'oxblood' red color which apparently stands for oxygenated blood.Really, who comes up with these names? Carrying on, This was actually one of my most worn colors from last winter as well and you can tell by the beaten up bottle down below.<br />
<br />
The color in particular is 795 Devilish, which was featured in an older post. The color is a dark red/burgundy color that also looks very vampy on the nails. It goes on pretty well after two coats and it doesn't chip that quickly on me and that is without a top coat. I definitely think it is worth checking out if you're looking for this particular color.<br />

I was at Wal Mart a few week ago, (this post is just super late) and of course I ended up in make up section. The Wal-Mart location I was as at happened to be pretty quiet, so I was able to find quiet a few things I had been wanting to try.<br />
<br />
The first thing I got is a Wet & Wild Color Icon palette in 335 Silent Treatment. After hearing all the hype surrounding them on YouTube and other blogs, I thought I would give them a try.And they certainly do live up to all the hype. I wore this palette to work recently, and the colors lasted till I got home with no fading which was around 5 hrs. They certainly are worth it especially considering the price point. The only downside is they can be a bit powdery but nothing crazy. A few high of the high end shadows that I have seen have similar powderiness. <br />

I also picked up 3 lip sticks while I was there. I saw the Rimmel Kate Moss collection so I picked up two shades 06 & 04. The dark purple one is a little difficult to work with in my opinion , it kind of almost has a greyish undertone and it just isn't flattering on me but it might work for others! The second shade I got is a bright hot pink which is a beautiful shade, even though its not a dark vampy fall shade I still really like it and I'm sure I will get lots of use from it in the summer. One thing about Rimmel lipsticks I can't stand is the smell. It needs to be changed.<br />

The third one I got is my favorite of the three and I have been wearing it constantly since I got it. It is Revlon's 477 Black Cherry, which I'm sure many of you have heard of. It is a beautiful black red and looks great applied full on or as a stain, and since it comes in a creme formula its easy to blend out. I usually only wear it as a stain because I do not have the guts to go out with it full on.<br />

The last 2 things I got is 2 NYC nail polishes, they were have a 2/$3 deal so I thought hey, why not? I've wanted a Matte top coat for a while and for this price point it does the job. The second one is a glittery red polish with blue and pink sparkles. Haven't tried it yet but I plan on using it as just a top coat.<br />
<br />
Well that is it for my haul! I definitely recommend that everyone goes and checks out 477 Black Cherry by Revlon and grab some Wet & Wild coloricon eyeshadow palletes!<br />

Hey guys,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought I would post a quick outfit of the day. It is basically a fall outfit with a bit of a nautical twist. Surprisingly, everything I am wearing in this post is form H&M and is from the current season. I've been looking for a pair of dark red/burgundy shade of faux leather pants for a while now and I when I went to H&M and saw them, well it was basically love at first sight! I know I most likely won't get as much wear out of these as I would like to since there a bit...loud?</div>

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 <a href="http://www.facebook.com/justusajeans?fref=ts" target="_blank">link</a> to their Facebook page. Once you try these
you will never go back..</div>

Also featured in this post is my Vero Moda blazer from my fall haul <a href="http://aaperception.blogspot.ca/2012/09/fall-haul-zara-h-only-and-vera-moda.html" target="_blank">post</a>. <br />
