Hey there lovely people.. I thought I would share with you the deets for the 3D smokey eyes look I posted on Instagram a couple of weeks back.

There has been a lot of genuine buzz about this foundation for some time now. Though I am a faithful user of my Nars Sheer Glow foundation, I could not resists the urge to try out the foundation Tamanna Roashan (DressYourFace Makeup Artist) and Jaclyn Hill (Youtube Guru) have been raving about.

I bought this at the Sephora Dubai mall branch. The GA counter lady was super super helpful in finding me the right shade which for my liking is No. 8. I tend to go 2 shades darker with my foundations otherwise I end up looking like a ghost in photos (trying very hard to erase a few of those photos - with flash - from my memory!).

The 1st star goes for packaging - Thank you GA for the pump. Note people, foundations with pumps reduces wastage especially when you don’t want to waste a drop of luxury products as this one.


2nd star because the texture of this foundation is light and soft. It gives a medium to build able coverage with a smooth finish. With 3 pumps I was able to achieve a medium coverage.

Most importantly, it did not oxidize which adds the 3rd star to this product.


I have combination skin - oily T zone and dry rest of the face - so the foundation settled perfectly on my skin. I tried out this foundation on a day when I attended 2 events and had a lot of running around to do. After around 9 hours on my face, it did not budge or get oily (except for my nose which is a sweaty zone for me). 4th Star for staying put my friend.

So now to the point why everyone is cray cray about this foundation - the illuminating factor. I kid you not, this foundation has some micro light reflecting ingredients in it which basically gives you an airbrushed radiance - 5th Star for that glow.

This is my new Holy Grail of all holy grail items. If you have a holy grail item which you think I must try, please comment below. I would love to hear from you all.

Also, I will post a detailed write up on the above make up look next.

Always remember to smile.

Live Irresistible by Givenchy is a haven for scent lovers like me. This fruity feminine scent grabs hold of your senses and leaves you basking in its deliciousness for hours on.

For those fleeting few seconds of winter in Dubai, I usually prefer Chloe by Chloe. However, since I got my hands on Live Irresistible, during the day time I find myself drawn to the spicy rose notes mixed with amber and the juicy pineapple notes uplifts my mood.



Keeping in mind, that the tricky part with perfume is how the scent develops depends on your body chemistry. Some may feel it too fruity and floral while others are able to identify the spicy notes to their liking.

I like to spritz it on 2 pulse points - wrists and base of the neck - as it helps intensify the scent. Ladies, never waste a good perfume spraying it on your clothes. It does nothing to enhance the lasting power but ends up distorting the fragrance and staining your clothes at times.

Top Notes: Juicy Pineapple 

Heart Notes: Spicy Rose

Base Notes: Amber Accord

Live Irresistible can be found at Sephora and Paris Gallery.
