TAG:Get To Know ME & Liebster Award

Hey Girls! Hope you have all had a great week, I tell you once again my week has been super crazy but finally the weekend is here and now I can catch up on a tag and award that was given to me by the lovely Holly from Blog of a Cosmetic Junkie, she has an awesome blog and YouTube channel so go ahead and check her out!

So First I'll start off with the Get to Know me Tag as its a great way of getting to know a little bit more about me. So here goes:

The Rules:

1. Each person must post 11 things about themselves on their blog

2. Answer the 11 questions the tagger has given you as well as answering the 11 questions you have set for the people you will tag to answer

3. Choose 5 people and link back to the tag (It was originally 11, but I thought I would choose five and then tag all who I haven't mentioned but would like to do this)

4. Go to their page and tell them

5. There can be no tag backs and all tags have to be legitimate

So 11 facts about ME:

1. My name means STAR and it was my grandmother who named me :)

2. I am living in Dubai, I have been here for three years and loving every moment of it!

3. I am married to a great guy who I love more than anything and together we are raising our gorgeous boy, who keeps us on our toes :)

4. I am a major shop-a-holic and its a serious problem, I was packing a few things the other day and found a whole heap of clothing and accessories I had forgotten about and they all had their tags in place...a BIG eye opener. My husband thinks it's funny because I acknowledge that I have a problem but when I see something I want I get it!

5. I love all beauty products and I can sit at a beauty store hours on end!

6. I am terrified of cats and dogs- If they come near me I freak out-I think its the way they are soo unpredictable, scares me (weird I know).

7. I have been told that I grind my teeth while I'm sleeping, mainly when I'm stressing about something.

8. I am a bit obsessive compulsive over cleaning and clutter, I don't like seeing things lying around when they aren't being used, especially my sons blocks I pack those things a million times a day because he empties the box, scatters them around and then leaves them, so I collect them and he goes back and empties them again- and so the cycle is never ending!

9. I love to cook, I find it not only rewarding but a stress reliever especially after a hard day at work!

10. I love chocolate-Dark, Milk or White doesn't matter just so long as its chocolate!

11. I have long, thick, dark, stubborn straight eyelashes that find it hard to curl- if anyone can help on this please let me know :)

Rimmel Glam Eyes HD Review

Hey everyone, so I am trying to get through a number of products to review for you guys and so I decided I would bring you my thoughts on the relativley new Rimmel Glam Eyes HD Eyeshadow palettes. Now I really love some of Rimmels products and I find that for the price they are quite smooth in application and texture but also they have a great colour pay off-especially their eye kohl pencils. So once I tried the tester for these babies in store, I was hooked I wanted every single palette but I held back and decided on two of the five that were there and I'm glad I didn't get them all. WHY?? Well as great as the colours and consistency of the eyeshadows the packaging is in my opinion horrendous!!!

So I picked up 005 English Rose and 006 Purple Reign. English Rose has a pinky-gold shade along with a brown and taupey shades and Purple Reign is just that a range of purples. The colours are absolutley gorgeous they are amazing on but getting to the little triangles with your brush doesn't help unless you use the sponge applicator tip to get in there but you still manage to get into the other color.
The Rimmels emblem of the union jack didn't work well as the colours are really to get to- except for the color in the middle which is in my opinion very annoying. But for the eyeshadows alone they are amazingly smooth and soft, hardly any fall out and they last a long time, (I have only worn these over my NYX eyeshadow base). In the whole range I find the colours are amazing and some of them actually remind of a few colours in the Urban Decay Naked palette. I would only recommend these to you who don't mind the challenge of getting to the colours in the smaller triangles but I really wish Rimmel had these palettes differently even the old style square quad would have been forgivable for such great eyeshadow quality.

What do you guys think? Have you tried these? Whats your favourite Rimmel product?

Helloooooo Flawless

Hey guys hope your all having a great day! I was just going through my emails when I came across Benefits new product Hello Flawless Oxygen WoW ......WOW thats a mouthful!! :) Now im not sure if they are available worldwide but I want to get my hands onto this something bad, so I will be checking with Sephora here in Dubai to see if they have it but if they do, I will be putting a review here for you guys. Benefit claims "Our new oil-free brightening liquid foundation builds from light to medium coverage for a natural complexion you can believe in. It’s you…just more luminous & healthy looking."
Now i want to try this for myself.

What do you guys think? Have you tried it? Is it all it claims to be?
