I am soo happy to announce that Flormar Cosmetics is a Middle Eastern brand of professional cosmetics and is available here. These products are actually originally from Italy but are made in Turkey. This thing has made a very special place in my heart and is very new in the market. I bought a bunch of products from their store and here is my review:
I got 3 nail polishes and 2 eye shadows. I must say, their range is so wide spread. I got a metallic texture and a matte one in eye shadows.
I hope you found this post helpful, and if you did, please share and follow me on Instagram for updates related to my posts on khadijanoaman
I got 3 nail polishes and 2 eye shadows. I must say, their range is so wide spread. I got a metallic texture and a matte one in eye shadows.
The white nail polish is a semi matte finish. |
The shadow on the left is actually a pale pink eye shadow but it shows as white in the photos.
I went almost crazy seeing their nail polishes, they had everything from matte, to semi matte, glitter and many more finishes. Each nail polish is just for SAR 10!! It's amazingly affordable and so pigmented. Flormar has not only nail polish and eye shadows but they also have foundations, concealers, and nail art related stuff. They also stock self tanners, but the only fall back is their sales women. Most of them don't know English and the ones who know are not interested in entertaining you. But over all it was a worth it trip!
I would recommend this brand to EVERYONE if you can get your hands on these products plz do! I'm sure you will love it!
Where can you find Flormar?
You can find this in
Aziz mall Jeddah
Haifa Mall Jeddah
Andalus Mall Jeddah

The color of the year for 2014 was declared "RADIANT ORCHID". Brands from Dior to Avon launched and released products in the same color family, and when everyone from Kim K to Leighton Meester is rocking it, so why not we??
Let's talk Fashion today, in this post I will show you how you can also incorporate the color of the year in your wardrobe! Have fun experimenting!
1. Dresses
Be it Western or Asian, everyone tried their luck with this beautiful color in their dresses. The most amazing thing is that this color is flattering on all skin types. It will surely make heads turn!
I love this Indian dress its so playfully fashionable! It will surely be something different from the usual colors we see in wedding always. |
This simple dress paired with boots is so elegant yet so put together. It is easy to achieve too! |
If you don't like monochromatic schemes, then go for statement things like jackets, nail colors, lipsticks, etc.
This jacket speaks for itself! Just your old jeans and white shirt paired with this statement jacket will make you look so chic! |
From high end to budget friendly every brand has captured this color in a bottle. |
You can never wrong with a orchid lip color. It will flatter on any skin type. |
To think about wearing a orchid blush seems a daring step. But it looks very pretty if carried well with the right shade of lipstick.
4. Pants
Add a hint of this gorgeous color in the bottom half of your body. This is a great way to pull the attention downwards and to accentuate your legs in a subtle manner.
5. Shoes
Studies show that women's brain works 10x times faster when they see shoes! Try this color in a boyish converse or a gorgeous pair of heels. But this is a color to invest in this year!
6. Accessories
Make a exception from wearing neutrals to bright colors this summer. Change up from your patent golden silver jewelry to a bright pop of color!
Turn your love for gems from other obvious colors to this new twist.
This bag is the perfect size and is so easy to pair with any boring outfit! |
Moving away from the old colors like red and blue. The color is for all the daring girls out there!
This will look absolutely stunning with people having a pale or cool undertone. |
You can also add shades of other colors in order to make it look more wearable. |
Share this post if you found it helpful and I will talk to you in my next post! Till then cya!
All of us give up at some point or the other when we get frustrated from hair loss! It is inevitable and doesn't matter whether you are old or young this is going to happen. Read this post for a easy do it yourself hair mask at home! Let's get started!
You will need: ( All below ingredients should be taken as per your hair length )
Almond Oil (very essential)
Coconut Oil
Olive Oil
Crushed garlic
Method:
Take all the above oils as per the length of your hair in equal quantities. Put these in a clean glass bowl. Now crush your garlic in a mixer or chop it very finely. Add this to the oils and heat it in the microwave for just 30 seconds. Massage this on to your scalp and leave it to rest for at least 40 mins. Then rinse it off and follow with your regular shampoo and conditioner. Do this at least twice a week to see the best results!
Tip: Heating up the oil before applying it will open the hair follicle allowing the product to penetrate deep inside the hair roots.
Tip: You can also add Argon oil if you want to get silky hair.

Recently when I went shopping I saw that Andalus mall in Jeddah had a few shades of the so much raved product that is the color tattoos from Maybelline. I got a shade and here is my review:
Color Tattoos: These are cream based shadows. They come in single colors and not in a palette. It comes in a pot and is waterproof and does not budge no matter what! You can take a nuetral shade and use it as a base under an eye shadow or you can even wear it on its own.
Cost: SAR 41
This thing has a huge variety in colors and texture. I came to know that there are matte color tattoos too but they are LIMITED EDITION which sucks!!! But so far i haven't seen those in Jeddah yet.
I noticed that many color tattoos in the mall had dried up. So this product is prone to drying up fast.

Cost: SAR 41
The pigmentation is amazing! It photographs soo well in pictures and looks lovely. It gives that little hint of shimmer without going crazy. The waterproof quality is a plus point if you are living in a hot and humid country like myself. It's also a good product to take on the go!
I got the color 05 ETERNAL GOLD as it is a nuetral shade and can be layered with other shades. |
These are still not all shades, there are even more! |
Tip: Use hair dryer to get the texture back for cream eye shadows and gel liners.
Pros:
These are the limited matte shades in the same collection. |
Pigmented
Variety in shades
Affordable
Handy
Cons:
May dry up fast if lid is not closed properly.
In all I loved this product, I hope you give it a try too, I'm sure you will love it! Till then Cya!

1. Rimmel lipliner in SPICE

Firstly let me tell you, bb cream stands for "BEAUTY BALM" or "BLEMISH BALM". This is very light and gives light to medium coverage. This is actually good for any person who is exposed to lots of sun as it has SPF (sun protecting factor) of up to 55. This is a 5 in one product, it is a:
The most raved bb cream is the one from Garnier. It has SPF 15. It comes in two shades light and medium. I purchased mine from Carefour in Jeddah for SAR 30.
2. OLAY

The one on the left is for dry skin and the one on the right is for oily skin type. |
This is my personal favorite! I love it, and would definitely recommend it. I have used it a lot and just finished my bottle past month after using it from last October! I would definitely repurchase it.
I got mine from Danube in Jeddah. Price: SAR 61
3. MAYBELLINE
Maybelline has really impressed me. This bb cream is good for any girl on the budget! Its light weight of course. But also comes in many colors. There is a shade for almost anyone.
In the same Maybelline line a bb cream i regret purchasing is the clear glow one. This stuff smells like medicine and is really oily! This thing is also very tiny and hardly has any product inside.
4. PONDS
This product just entered the middle east market last year. Ponds bb cream is surprisingly skin friendly and has SPF PA++. Comes in two shades I believe one beige and the other chocolate. This is good for any working women as it gives a flawless looking face.
I hope you start your school with a baam! Wishing you a successful academic year ahead!

1.Lipsticks
You will need:
Broken lipstick

zip lock bag or plastic sheet
Method:
Take your lipstick bullet that has broken. Now place it on the plastic sheet and let this FREEZE in the freezer for at least 12 hours. Once you remove this bullet, take your lighter and burn the end of the bullet just a little bit. Now stick this as fast as you can on the lipstick tube and keep a hold on the bullet.
Close your lipstick and freeze it again for 6 hours at least. Your lipstick is now ready to be used!

Hey Sugaries,
I hope you are having a wonderful week. I have many posts regarding what to buy and how to organize the stuff that we already have. Today's post is a bit different, in this post I will show you how to fix your broken makeup. So, let's get started!
For this you will need:
A cotton bud
Small plastic teaspoon
Ethanol Alcohol (I purchased mine from Sarawat Super Market in Jeddah for SAR 15)
Method:
Take your broken makeup (powders only) and gather all the broken pieces in the center of the container. Now pour in some of your alcohol and let it settle in. You will see the powder soaking up the liquid. Now take the plastic spoon and use the back side of it to gently smooth everything out. Clean the rest area with a cotton bud. Let this set for at least 24 hours before using it. Voila! your makeup is now fixed!
Tip: You can also buy ethanol alcohol from pharmacy.
Tip: You can also cover this with plastic and peal this off once you think it is dry after 24 hours.
In my next post I will show you how to fix your lipsticks and stick foundations! Till then take care and stay blessed!

Being the bride, the bride's maid or going to a special event can be pretty stressful...as you are deciding on what to wear and things rambling inside your head! You tend to forget stuff that is important. Here are few things that will help you in taking things which are necessary. Stay tuned!
To begin with, clutches are too small to fit your entire life in, and let's be real, you can't carry anything and everything.
1. Cell Phone
If you are leaving your home your cellphone has to leave with you, if you are the brides maid you may have to call the caterer or the photographer. Having this with you is very important.
Tip: Remove your cell phone cover this will make room for other things to come in.
2. Change Cash
Always keep change, you don't know what situation arises next. You might need it to pay for a bouquet of flowers or if you have to take a taxi home.
3. Safety pins:
You never know if something just tears or if some mishap happens to your friend, their is nothing easy to put back when it comes to pinning back clothes or straps of your sandals!
Tip: Always keep pins of different sizes as one size is not always compatible with every situation.
4. Bobby pins
No matter how perfect your updo is, it will never stay put till the end. Having bobby pins at hand is a life saver!
Tip: Spray bobby pins with hair spray before putting them in your hair, these will stay for much longer!
5. Perfume
Ofcourse you cant carry your entire perfume bottle everywhere. Save your mini free sample perfume bottles with you.
Tip: You can also fill these bottles with your favorite perfume!
6. Lipstick
Take the lipstick that you are already wearing, this is just to re-touch as you may be drinking and eating and sweating also ofcourse.
7. Contact lens case (Optional)
This is if you are wearing contacts. The worst thing god forbid can happen with anyone would be itchy eyes. You will know this if you are a contact lens wearer. This happened with me so i can totally relate! I regretted not taking my contact case :(
Tip: You can multi use these cases, just wash them and you can fill one with your liquid concealer and the next with your Vaseline, just in case you get a shoe bite!
8. Mints
Keep mints or gum with you. It's handy and just to be on the safer side.
9. Band aids
Avoid the situation of sitting in one place because you are the one in the crowd having a show bite! It a special occasion dance your heels off! Keep a pair a band aid to avoid sore feet.
10. Blotting sheets
Blotting sheets are a must! You will be dancing and loads of strssful work will make you sweat and will also make you oily. Use blotting paper to remove any access oil from your face.
Tip: Make your own blotting papers by using tracing papers (aka sandwich paper)! They are made of the same texture.
Lastly don't forget to enjoy...It is these small moments which bring the most beautiful smile on our face when we look back again.....Stay Blessed!
