Gucci Face - Luxe Finishing Powder First Look!

Ok, are you ready to see the most unbelievably chic piece of beauty product around!

That's right how gorgeous is she!!! Ok, so I am totally obsessed with the packaging of Gucci Beauty products! The gold and the black with the G makes me feel so luxe when i use it and when i remove it from my purse for touch-ups. I think I've even gotten some stares of awe from others around me (or i could be dreaming it).

I'm in the shade 50, and I've been using it at home with my Bobbi Brown powder brush. The texture of the powder feels soooo velvety and smooth!! This compact also comes with a small half moon brush to use on the go.

I'm going to test it out for a month and will let you know what my thoughts are after using it. Subscribe via email, so that you get updated every time I post up a new post.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation - My 2 cents on it

For daily wear i've been using the Chanel Aqua lumiere foundation for about a year, and I was getting bored of it. I love trying new things especially makeup products, and I have tried several times to put a mental buy ban on myself.I failed again! I went out to the mall, walked passed Bobbi Brown's boutique and the next thing I knew I left the store with a new powder brush, eyebrow mascara and the Skin Foundation!

I bought the shade #3, which is the beige color. According to the Bobbi Brown website this foundation is "A truly modern foundation that offers invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin, not makeup."  This foundation is recommended for normal to oily skin as it is quite light weighted.

My first impressions of this foundation is that the texture is more on the runny side as you can see above in the picture. But, it does pack a punch! The coverage is light and really does feel like my skin, which is perfect for work and normal everyday use. I will say this though, I would not recommend this foundation for that fun night out on a Saturday or that dinner date you have with that hottie on a Friday night.

Would I buy this again? Yeap! I definitely would but I think #3 is a bit too light for me, so I may just get #3.5 which is warm beige next time.

My Move To Dubai!

So here I am a year later telling you about another change in my life. I would have to say my first year of married life was eventful! From getting married, to dabbling with new projects in South East Asia, to ending 2014 with a big decision of moving to Dubai!

I have only been here for 3 weeks, so I am still trying to settle into my new life here. I still feel a little disoriented and disorganized, which I didn't really expect! I've been to Dubai several times on holiday, so it's not an unfamiliar place. Yet living here has been a different experience.

But I have been enjoying my time here! I still am exploring this city and I hope to share my experiences with you guys. It is a beautiful city as you can see from the pictures, and I just cannot get over my view from my apartment! How beautiful does the Marina look in the morning!
