Heavenly Creatures by MAC

Several weeks ago I have shared a photo on instagram (@confashions) displaying samples I have received from M.A.C Cosmetics, as part of their latest make-up launches titled Heavenly Creatures. A lot of you thought that they were candies or cupcakes at first glance. I agree! They do look very tempting to eat! And their colours look amazing, like pieces of colorful marble. I'm not sure if they've arrived Kuwait or not, because I receive my samples from Dubai. If you do know, please leave a comment and share your experience.

I wasn't so sure how these colors would actually look on my skin, but when I tired them on they blended in really well, at least for the one featured in the first photo which is the Mineralize Skinfinish, it gave a luminous and sheer glow to my skin with a hint of bronze. The texture was not very powdery, which gave me a somewhat natural lightweight application. I'd say it complemented my skin tone nicely... for now.. as I'm still tanned from my trip, so I'll need a couple of weeks to find out if it REALLY works well with my skin tone.

The below two photos are M.A.C's Mineralize eye shadows. They look lovely, but I'm cluless when it comes to eye shadows. However from what I've learned from beauty vloggers is that sometimes you need to build colour, layer after layer, to see how the eye shadow works for you. Will try it out next time I play with my make-up.

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?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
