Welcome To My Life: Oud Milano

I'll admit, when I first came across the store, walking down Bond Street, I got really excited thinking that it is a brand that sells all - things - oud... And being a collector of everything with oud in, I thought I'd have to check this place out. After walking in, and seeing how empty the store is, I decided I would wander around and discover the products myself.

So here it was - a really similar in-store concept to that of Kiko. Very simplistic, very minimal yet really impressive layout. I came across this store at a perfect time, as I was in desperate need of change and my NARS All Day Luminous Weightless was becoming a little too heavy on my face -to a point where i could feel the... "weight".

I tried the Oud Milano foundation on my hand and the texture was neither too thick nor too thin. I matched myself almost instantly, as well, so whatever you see through the glass bottle is what you're getting when you apply it. You need the smallest amount when applying and you're good to go! It is oil based so blends really well and provides full coverage! I am literally obsessed with this foundation and can call it my new favourite.

It takes me some time to step out of my comfort zone where make up and cosmetics are concerned, but in this case I can say that I will be visiting this fun and quirky brand a lot more than anticipated!

I have also invested in a bottle of strawberry vanilla glitter powder. You spray this gem of a product on your body, hair or clothes; as you may normally do with your perfume and the glitter within the powder sticks to your skin (or hair) - depending on your preference; a completely versatile product! This super exciting powder is soft on the skin, as well, so you needn't worry about having to apply cream to moisturise once you have sprayed this on. If you haven't already got yourself into the home of real Italian luxury cosmetics, you are certainly missing out.

Luxembourg: Just a Financial Centre?

This Bank Holiday weekend was a different one; a lot less of a popular destination and one which I simply didn't know what to expect. I think this is my favourite bit about the Earth, and not to mention why I am so fond of always being abroad - you always have to keep an open mind and go without influences of travel reviews and any other comments. My travelling habits are not limited to seasons or geographical locations. I am a believer of seeing new things and constantly exploring; which makes it difficult to settle in any single environment. I'll admit, I did a lot of research on the location, the language(s) spoken, the kind of food which was eaten and to my surprise when I got there; I found that actually it is not only a place of politics and finance. The parks, waterfalls and cobble streets gave this country a fairy-tale toy town feeling. The historical architecture, the quiet and narrow streets and most importantly the people and their positive, kind and

Winter Wear: Seasonal Skin Food

It is no secret that we all want good skin. Age, gender or even climate is no exception to that rule so undoubtedly the first thing we can expect to do is jump on Google to find out which cream is the best and why. I would like to start off by talking about what little care I showed towards good skincare. In all honesty, I used to go for the most cost effective option of a range in which I believed to be a good enough brand, and would check on my cheeks to see how they're doing and made sure they felt smooth... Now what is "good" and how do you determine what is and isn't a good brand? Price tag? Reviews? Word of mouth? All seem pretty fair to me but what I have really come to realise is that if something isn't good for your skin type then it may not necessarily be good at all. Our skin is like the most delicate piece of clothing we wear and given how much exposure to pollution and harmful rays it has throughout the day, there has to be maintenance. Just

Autumn in the Desert: My trip to Dubai

More often than not, I find myself complaining about the weather - it is always just too cold. This year, however, I decided that I would spend a cold October (although some Londoners may argue that it has been a warm one so far - I beg to differ), somewhere not so cold; and one place which automatically comes to mind is ever-so-perfect Dubai. My trip consisted of many things from walking around The Dubai Mall, tasting Arabic coffee at various stands; to watching the water dance of the famous fountain show with a view of the world's tallest building and of course eating lots! Zahr El Laymoun was a personal favourite. A Lebanese infusion with a modern twist, the portions were plentiful and the presentation was incredible. We chose to sit outside as we wanted to enjoy the warm breeze of the Dubai sunset along with the first show of the evening (which starts at 18:00, and goes on for the duration of each track every half hour until midnight) There was a general Autumnal f
