Hey my loves,
It's so good to finally be writing on this once and for all! Ever since I got the chance or let's say *I was blessed* to attend Aiman Shan's Master class in November...my Instagram @sugarbabbless got flooded with questions! So here I am breaking down everything for you guys!

By the way just in case you didn't know who Aiman Shan is, she is a makeup Goddess *Totally Crushing over her* based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. But not everyone who does good makeup, also teach with their up most honesty...right? So keep reading to find out all :)

Aiman shan posted the below photograph on her Instagram @aiman_shan in November.


Just Moments later the latter picture was also posted! The Master class was Sold Out! Everyone tried to book seats ASAP!

Details of the course

The setup

One of the many looks that was taught during the class.

Finally, the goody bags. We each got a matte lipstick, an original beauty blender and a highlighter and of course the promised certificate too :)

Hi readers,
I know most of you love reading makeup reviews and that's why I love writing these for you. I like the fact that someone who has the same pocket size as me will surely tell me the truth as to what to buy and what not to. In today's post I bring to you the most ranted Kat Von D lock it foundation review. If you want to know more, then just keep reading!


I got this foundation from Sephora a month back and ever since I have been trying it. I was beyond excited when I got to know that Kat von D has been finally launched in Jeddah Saudi Arabia!!

It is high coverage I will say. It is good if you are looking to apply just one layer of foundation rather than building up the coverage by caking more layers. This is also good for brides especially Desi brides as it photographs beautifully!

I used my MAC feline black Kohl pencil and covered it with one layer of foundation. So you can see the coverage.

This foundation has the below properties as per the packaging:

• Full Coverage
• 24 hour wear
• Transfer Resistant
• Matte Finish
• Fragrance Free
• Oil Free

I do agree with the fact that it is full coverage but I haven't tried it for complete 24 hours. It is not transfer resistant though, because it did transfer on the collar of my dress! It is really matte but also heavy on the skin. It is not light weight at all.


If you are looking for something that is "natural" then this one is certainly not a good choice. But if you are looking for a high coverage foundation, then this is perfect. Although this has 18 shades I believe, but as usual the 'most talented sephora representatives' always give you the wrong one! They gave me a wrong shade and I have to mix it with the other foundation which is a shade darker to match my skin.



Where did I get mine?
I got mine from Sephora..

How much does it cost?
 It is for 125 SAR.

I know I have been doing reviews on a lot of skincare products lately. But that is because recently I have started really taking my skin seriously. I know most of us hardly get time to moisturize our skin properly, but it is about the things which we prioritize and our skin should definitely be on the top of the list.


I never used a serum and never thought of using it until I found out that it has more vitamins and benefits packed into it than any moisturizer in the market. Serums are a great way to one step nourishment and taking care of your skin in one small step. These also help your skin to pick up the benefits of your other skincare products deep into the layers of skin hence showing a difference.


I ordered mine a couple of months ago from Ebay and its been two months ever since I started using it. Here is what I think about it:

This serum is packed with Vitamin E which helps in reducing the signs of aging, helps in healing scars and improving skin texture. This particular serum also has Retinol.

Retinol actually in a simpler form can be known as Vitamin A. This helps in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and other factors effecting age. Along with it's anti aging properties, retinol is actually proven to be really best for removing acne and large pores. However, large pores due to genetics cannot be easily reduced. But large pores due to sun damage and clogging can certainly be fixed.


I have been using this serum for two months now, and have seen vast difference in my skin. I have not been getting pimples as often as I used to get. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good but reasonable serum.

I got mine from ebay.

I hope you liked this post. Until next time ...cya!

It's really been a while since I posted something about affordable makeup products. I actually have a lot of things which I purchased in the last couple of months and I would like to share a review of one such thing in today's post. I hope you like it!


I really enjoy my eyeshadow palettes and when I came to know that Morphe has released one palette which people are going nuts about...I had to get it too!

This palette as the title suggests is the Flirt and Frost palette. It has 35 colors, from which the last 7 colors are completely matte! I to be honest just took this palette for the dark matte black color which I surprisingly didn't have, although I own lots of other palettes too, but I just didn't have a  black shadow. Seriously, brands need to include a matte black color in every palette now. It's really frustrating because black is a versatile color and can be used for smokey eyes, or doubling it up as a liner. So in short I was all up for that one thing.

The last line which consists of all mattes.

This palette is soo beautiful and so highly pigmented! I just couldn't keep my eyes off this one. The frosty colors are like stila foiled shadows. They are so opaque and so easy to blend. But the mattes are a little chalky and have a little fallout. But that's Ok because for the price we can't really have all.

Some of my favorite frosty shades

I would highly recommend this palette if you are on a budget or just in general because it's so affordable and the colors are really easy to work with especially if you are a beginner. You get to play with a lot of colors and that to all neutral ones.


I got mine from Doodishop on Instagram for 150 SAR. Their service is not the best. But if you want the same palette definitely check out other Instagram sellers or online sellers like Ebay or Amazon if you have access to that.

Till next time...Cya! :)

  I know I am really late to the party but better be late than sorry. There has been a huge thing about using Nivea men aftershave balm as a primer for your face before using foundation. I was a little skeptical and also confused as many big beauty bloggers were recommending it. So I took my chances and tried it. Here's what I have to say:



I got this product in December as my wedding was approaching and I badly needed a primer as I planned to do my own makeup on the day of my henna. I thought of buying it and got it from the pharmacy. I got mine from AL-NAHDI PHARMACY for 25 SAR. This product smells manly because of course it's for men! But I love it! (I don't know if there is someone out there who is as weird as me and likes the masculine scent of such products). :D *I promise I am a girl*

It comes in a glass bottle and looks very chic. The thing I was confused about is which one to actually buy? Then I did my research and got to know that it has to be the "sensitive" version.




The aftershave is really liquidy but once you put it on, it gets absorbed pretty quickly and it's really light weight. I like to use my hands to apply it. My makeup artist on the day of my wedding also used it on my face and my makeup did not budge and i was awed!! Obviously I was crying, sweating and a lot of things but it didn't seem to move my foundation at all. .


I highly recommend this product as I have tried many high end primers and most do make your makeup last, but at the same time are really expensive. This aftershave is so affordable and so easily available that you can buy it and it will last a lot longer than your regular expensive primers.

You can get your's from any pharmacy in Jeddah or from any supermarkets. I have seen Hyper Panda and Carrefour stocking these in their health and beauty section.

Hello Sugaries,
Firstly, I am soooo sorry for not posting anything since ages! It's just that I GOT MARRIED! Alhamduliah!  Of course, you all know that priorities do change and stuff...but I am back and hopefully in sha Allah will blog more soon.

Coming to today's post, I recently became obsessed with wearing contact lenses. I do have eye power and wearing glasses all the time is just not my thing. So I thought of ordering a couple of brands and one of them was Nada Fadel. If you want to know more ...just keep reading!


As far as I know, this brand is based in UAE. They only sell online and it is still not available in Magrabi or any other optical outlet. This a luxury brand and has tons of colors to choose from.

How can I order?
I ordered mine from an Instagram seller with the username _mylens. They do home delivery but they do charge extra 30-50 SAR depending on your location.

How much does it cost?
I got mine for 150 SAR. Which is a pretty good price for a luxury contact lens brand.

What does it come with?
Usually normal contact lenses come with a case and a solution. But these just come with a case. For the price one is paying, it should have come with a solution too.



How good is the product?
I will rate it 8 out of ten because it is not the most comfortable lenses in the world. But the colours are simply amazing and wow! But I would not recommend a new contact lens wearer to wear this brand at once, because it is not so comfortable as compared to other brands like Fresh Look and so on.

I hope you enjoyed this post...till next time..Cya!

Hello Sugaries,
I hope you all are doing great and thank you so much  for patiently waiting for me to review this product for you. I received this product a few days back and promised on Instagram to review it as soon as I can. Well it is non other than MUSE eye brow and lash conditioner and Volumising Mascara. So if you want to know more just keep reading!



If you know me then you will also know that I have very sparse eye brow and lashes. I am always in search for some good eye brow and lash conditioner and growth products. When I received the MUSE product, I was not so sure if this product would really work or not. As I did my research and found that not many people are talking about it. So I gave myself 15 days to actually see visible differences.

Lash and Brow conditioner

This product actually promises to show growth in 15 days. So I gave myself the time to see the difference.

How does it work?
The wand for the lash and brow conditioner is very tiny so that is easy to apply in between the lashes as well as the brows.

Mascara with two extra wands

I personally really loved the lash and brow conditioner. Honestly, I did see a difference. My lashes are a more stronger and more fuller than before! But the mascara which I was having really high hopes with turned me down. This mascara is not waterproof which means it is not "Jeddah proof" because of the amount of humidity here, we surely need  a waterproof mascara to not end up looking like a panda bear! The first day I wore this mascara to work, it smudged all over the place and looked like a mess. The next day I wore it at home and didn't like it because it is not volumising enough to give your lashes a dramatic look. However, If you are someone who likes a natural lash effect then this one should be your next choice.

How much is it for?
The eyebrow and lash conditioner is for 125 SAR after discount price. Originally it is for 210 SAR. The mascara is for 75 SAR after discount which was for 100 SAR in the original price.


Where did I get mine from?
I got mine from an online store named glitters.inc. I have a full blog post on their services here glitters-one-stop-beauty-destination.html

If you want to order your's you may just click on this link to order :) Glitters.inc Muse products

I would definitely recommend this product. I would say it does make a difference in your eyebrow and lash growth.

I hope you liked this post, if there is anything you would like to read next here, then just let me know in the comments down below! Till next time, CYA!

If you know anything about me then you will know that I am a huge sucker for quick makeup. I like products which multi task and don't take a lot of time to set and stuff. Today I will be reviewing one such product and that is Olay BB cream. If you want to know more...just keep reading!



What is a BB cream?
BB cream stands for Beauty Balm. It has SPF and moisturizer, anti aging properties plus a hint of foundation...in short all in one.



Olay in collaboration with Max factor came up with a moisturizer that has a 'hint of foundation'.



I like this particular BB cream because of it's decent amount of coverage and the quantity as per the price is amazing. I will definitely repurchase this again!


How to use it?
I like to wear this as a moisturizer for my everyday makeup and then just continue with my other makeup products.

Where can I buy it?
I bought mine from Danube supermarket in Jeddah. But you can just find it anywhere nowadays.

How much is it for?
It is originally for 64 SAR. But I got mine in promotion for just 44 SAR!



If you liked this post then make sure to share it with a friend who is looking for a BB cream and till next time take care and stay blessed!

Hello Sugaries,
 It's been a while since I posted something. So today I am posting the most requested review that everybody has been waiting for. So if you want to know more just keep reading!




I ordered my Bootea a month ago and was waiting  to actually complete the whole course to write a review. I really thought that I would drink it religiously. But actually, in between I skipped few days which is why this post took a while. I often forgot to make it and drink it or sometimes I would come back home from work and would be too lazy to actually make it.


What is Bootea?
Bootea is a tea which is made from all natural herbs, it focuses on removing the bad toxins from your body hence it is detoxifying. It does not promise on any sort of weight loss or whatsoever. But you will see your waistline reducing as some of which is actually bloating!



Where did I get mine and what are the courses?
I got mine online from an Instagram shop named @Bootea_jed. It just took a day to arrive. The Bootea has four courses as mentioned below:

1. 28 day course ( Day and Night): 260 SAR

2. 14 day course ( Day and Night): 160 SAR

3. Day time Detox: 110 SAR

4. Night time Detox: 110 SAR


I tried the complete 14 day course and I really felt a difference. Honestly speaking I didn't want to loose weight. I had a long summer break so that was making me feel super lethargic and tired all the time. I also just wanted to reduce a little of my lower belly fat. The first few days I did not notice any difference. But I kept drinking it. I noticed my skin going crazy that was because my body was releasing all the bad toxins and that resulted in few pimples here and there but nothing major.



After my complete 14 days, I saw change in my waistline and my belly fat! It really does work! I plan on getting the 28 day course soon too. Personally I didn't want to gamble first on the 28 day detox. So I ordered the 14 day detox which was quite impressive.

What is the cost of delivery?
On the basis of your location, they will charge delivery price. For me it was 20 SAR, so in total I paid 180 SAR for the 14 day detox.


If you are looking to just staying healthy and to work on specific parts of your body especially the waist line or belly fat then you must give this a try. I highly recommend it! Till next time...Cya!

Hello Sugaries,
I hope you all are doing great... Recently I went into the craze of getting my nose pierced. So I did a lot of research on how to get it done. If you are someone who is interested in getting your nose pierced, then just keep reading!


I live in a place where not every other person is authorized to do piercing as compared to other countries. So I had to actually go to an ENT in one of the polyclinics here in Jeddah. I heard and read lots of people saying that getting a hole with a piercing gun is terrible and it's a regret than getting it done with the needle. But as I wasn't left with a lot of choice I had to go with the piercing gun option.

I went to Al -Abeer polyclinic to get my piercing done. I am someone with 0 pain tolerance. It is terrible I know. But I finally gathered guts to get mine done. So I went to the ENT surgeon there, named DR. Subair (completely forgot his last name). As I went I told him my pain tolerance was very low and he had to work really quick! He asked me to choose from a number of studs and I choose a clear one. No you cannot buy gold or silver stud when getting a hole with this gun. We have to compulsorily wear the cosmetic stud which is often used for ears.

Piercing gun. It is very small.

                                                   

Ear studs with different colored stones.

                                         

So, he just took a alcohol swab to clean any excess oil there and then used some numbing spray. He then marked the spot where the piercing would be and after my approval he just took the gun inserted the stud and in a fraction of second pierced my nose! On a scale of 1-10 (1 being less pain and 10 being the worst pain), I would say it was 3. The pain was very faint almost nothing.

I asked him when to really change the stud and how to maintain it, he told me I could change it after 10-15 days. When I came home, in the evening it was hurting a little because I guess the numbing spray was leaving its effect. I took a pain killer and slept. But thank god it wasn't something major. The same evening I went to buy tea tree oil from body shop and got one and used it with a clean q-tip. It hurt a little as the tea tree oil has alcohol and I couldn't sleep at night then.


 So I would suggest just leave it there to do it's thing. Don't go all over with all the tactics and tips you see. But here are some do's and don'ts for you to remember:

DONT's:

1. DO NOT touch your stud when it is fresh. For one whole week. Try to keep your hands away from your nose as much as possible.

2. DO NOT use any kind of alcohol to clean it. Be it rubbing alcohol, the alcohol swabs or perfume. It will just irritate it further.

3. DO NOT use face wash on your nose. The more the product gets into your nose hole the more time it will take to heal.

4. DO NOT change the stud for as long as 10-15 days or as recommended by your doctor.

5. DO NOT use makeup as long as you can. You want to keep all the foundations and other makeup products from getting into it.


DO's:

1. DO use a skin cleaner, I got mine from boots pharmacy 5 SAR. This removes all excess oil and it does not have alcohol in it.

2. DO cover your pillow with a clean shirt before sleeping to prevent any bacteria from getting on your skin.

3. DO use a anti bacterial cream like FUCIDINE which is  also anti-biotic so it will help if there is any infection or whatsoever that is starting to grow inside.


4. DO use a clean cotton bud to apply the above cream or another recommended by your doctor in and outside the nose.

5. DO use the old method of cutting a neem leave pin and using it as a stud in case the cosmetic stud
doesn't make you comfortable.

6. DO keep twisting the nose stud 2-3 days after the piercing. It will help in removing any product build up and also allowing the stud to make it's place.

7. DO invest time in getting it done from a professional rather than trying it at home.

How much did the whole procedure cost?

The whole thing was just for 30 SAR. The insurance however does not cover it. You can get the creams in insurance though, which in regular price is for 23 SAR.


I hope you found this post helpful, do sharre it with your friends or ones who want to get one done. Follow me on Instagram (Sugarbabbles) and google+. Till next time see ya!

Hi my loves,
As the summer is getting hotter and hotter, washing my hair daily was just damaging it more. I then came across Batiste Dry Shampoo. So here is a full product review about it. Keep reading!



What is it?
Batiste is a brand of dry shampoo which is basically a powder form of shampoo and you can just spray this on your roots and massage it to remove all the greasiness and prolong your hair hairstyle without washing it.


Why Batiste?
I have used a ton of different dry shampoos in the past and liked few of those too. But dry shampoos often have a white color which can be seen even if you rub it well on your roots. But Batiste has cool concept of having colored dry shampoos. So the powder that comes out is the same color as your hair. They have for almost all hair colors which is really cool!! Apart from the color, these ones have a really refreshing smell aswell. Even on days when I have freshly washed my hair, I still use it to give that extra smell and freshness.




Where Can I buy it?
I  got mine from Whites pharmacy in Salaam Mall Jeddah.


How much is it for?
The one I got is for 38 SAR which is really a good price because the bottle size is really big.


Will I repurchase it again?
Yes, I would definitely repurchase this product again, it really made a difference!


I hope you liked this post, and if you found it helpful then do share and follow me on Instagram and google+

Hello Sugaries,
I hope you are in mood for some product reviews...Because I have quite a lot coming your way soon In sha Allah!

Today I will be reviewing the most talked and hyped up product the " EOS Lip Balm"! If you want to know whether to buy it or not...then just keep reading!

What is it? 
EOS stands for 'Evolution of smooth' it is a company which produces lip balms and other skin care related products. It became a huge thing after many famous celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, 1 D stars etc, were seen using it.

.

I had heard enough about the EOS lip balms. So when I saw it here in Jeddah in Whites pharmacy,  I had to buy it to review it.

I got six flavors.

Here is what I think:
This lip balm is like any other lip balm. At first when it was so much raved abut everywhere, I thought it was going to be something really 'life changing'. But it is just like any other lip balm as I mentioned earlier. It keeps the lips smooth and hydrated which I assume is the motto behind every lip product. So ofcourse this product is nothing different than the rest.

Packaging from Outside

Where to purchase it from?
I got mine from Whites Pharmacy in Salaam Mall Jeddah.

What is the Price?
It costs 30 SAR per piece.

Why is it so hyped about?
Well, I think the only reason it is soo hyped around is because of it's unique shape. Many companies are now even making a dupe of it!

From inside.

Would I repurchase it again?
No, I wouldn't. I was sent a bunch by my sister already. I guess it will take me an eternity to go through all of these! But no, I would try or go with something else.

I hope you like such reviews as it will give you a reason whether r not to buy it. If you like  this post then do read my previous posts too, and share on Facebook,Instagram and also Pin It!

" A little Glitter never harmed anyone" I came up with this line when I was writing my blog bio. But to be honest this sits perfectly with my topic for today! Time and again I have been asked about which places do I shop from online and things like that. So I thought why not just review this whole site for today? If you are interested to know more about this place and a little surprise, then just keep reading till the end!
