Philosophy's Purity

A couple of weeks back I have received a bottle of Philosophy Purity one-step facial cleanser from Habchi & Chalhoub group to give it a try. The timing couldn't be more perfect! My daily cleansing cream from Dr. Hauschka is about to finish (By the way! Thanks to my lovely friend N for introducing me to it!), and since Dr. Hauschka is not stocked in Kuwait, I needed a good alternative. 

Philosophy Purity came with a beauty book which gives an introduction about their skin care and beauty lines, plus it had some smart and positive messages throughout the book like the one shown in the photo above. I loved the vintage images used in the book too, gave it a whimsical touch.

Now back to the product, Philosophy Purity is formulated to gently cleanse, tone and remove all face and eye makeup in one step while lightly hydrating the skin. This was very convenient for me because I like to keep my skin care routine plain and simple. I have tried the product for the two weeks maybe? And I found it to be very impressive in terms of melting away my make-up, some products I have used in the past required me to wash my face twice at least in order to have all my make-up removed. It doesn't foam up much, but I've heard that they do carry a foaming type of this product. So far my skin didn't break out, so that's a good sign. However, I did get an irritated skin a day or two, not sure if it's a case of allergy or from the product itself. But overall, I'd give it four out of five stars.

You can find Philosophy Purity at Sephora boutique in the Avenues Phase II.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
