4 Must Try Beauty Swaps

SWAP THE FOUNDATION/CONCEALER FOR GARNER TINTED EYE ROLLER

This has got to be one of my favorite products and don't be fooled by the name, not only does this 'eye roller' help conceal those disastrous eye bags it also acts as a concealer for any blemishes and spots that you might have on your face!
However, I would only recommend this for women who have slight spots and marks on their faces.

TIP: Too much of any foundation or concealer can seriously leave you with two toned skin and that's the last thing you'd want especially if there are cameras around! So be wise with your make up and don't use excess amounts of it!

Available at all leading supermarkets

SWAP THE LABELLO LIP BALM FOR BOOTS LIP REJUVENATOR

I've been a huge fan of Labello lip balms but nowadays I feel like their products focus more on the shine once the product is on rather than actually healing dry lips.

But never fear, I've found a perfect replacement. This lip balm from Boots comes in 2 different flavors; lemon and peach and make the lips feel instantly soft upon the first application. It also smells divine and the plus point is that it doesn't taste as good as the Labello lip balm. How is this a plus point? Well simply because the user doesn't end up eating the lip balm as soon as it's applied. This way the balm is able to stay on your lips and provide you with the healing that is required.


Available at Boots for AED 17

SWAP YOUR  HAND SANITIZER FOR PASSION & FRUITS WATERLESS HANDSOAP

Granted, 'waterless handsoap' is just a fancy way of saying hand sanitizer but don't judge a book by its cover. What attracted me to this product in this first place was it's simplistic packaging and I love the fact that it has a fruit on the bottle. Initial application left my hands feeling sticky, which I've never faced with my other sanitizers, and this led me to walk out of the store. But I went straight back in 10 seconds later (that's how long it took for the stickiness to wear off) as, not only did it leave my hands smelling really fresh and fruity but it also made my hands really soft! And this was something I'd never experienced with my normal product.

This product is really a treat for your hands especially after a hard day and work and it also rejuvenates your mood as the smell is really captivating and longlasting. There are two different fruit essences available.

Available at Fruits & Passions, AED 20 (small bottle) and AED 90 (big bottle)

SWAP YOUR HEATED EYELASH CURLER FOR A GEL MASCARA+EYELASH CURLER

I've never understood why women tend to use heater lash curlers, they've always scared me! What if something goes wrong? I guess I'm just extremely strange when it comes to products that have anything to do with my eyes.
An alternative to the heater lash curler is using a clear, gel mascara and a normal lash curler.
STEP 1: Curl the lashes using the eyelash curler.
STEP 2: Put on the clear, gel mascara
Repeat the first step again and after that you can put on a mascara of your choice. You can use the eyelash curler again depending on your personal preference of how you want your lashes to look. The only reason I suggest using a clear mascara in the beginning is so you don't get any color residue on your eyelash curler. The mascara helps hold the curled eyelashes in place (much like what hairspray does for your hair).


Most you ladies probably already know most of these but I feel like some of the most obvious things remain unknown till they're actually posted somewhere. I hope I've been able to help you in some way!

Why.. Hello There!

Who is an everyday girl? An everyday girl is someone who can relate to you, a modern fille who shops on a budget, tries cut costs by cutting and fiddling around with their own hair and thinks DIY is the best way to start a new trend and be much more forward than just 'fashion forward'. I am that girl and so are you!

Hello to everyone reading this blog. If you're someone who just stumbled upon it accidentally or one of my friends (who has been forced to read the blog) a BIG hello to you from me!
Well, since this is my first post I thought I'd tell you guys what exactly this blog is about, its about anything and everything from beauty tips, to tried and tested posts (this can range from receipes that I've found and I'd recommend to beauty products that promise us one thing but do they deliver? Or are these false promises?) and I might even include the one off budget clothing posts, what I like to buy and wear to different occasions (on a budget, of course!)

Like every girl I love fashion but since my wallet is empty (more often than not) I can't afford to hop into stores like Gucci and Versace to pick up a new dress! In stead I opt for more high street options my favorite stores being Topshop and Forever 21 and recently I've (finally) taken the plunge into online shopping (ASOS.com) which, in all honesty, hasn't been that bad since they have a great choice of clothes and are able to cater to every different kind of woman no matter how much money you have in your account! I had this fear of internet shopping! You know the usual questions, what if they steal my money? Can I trust them with my account details? What if I don't receive my package on time or worse, never get it at all? But trust me, once you take the plunge you'll never go back! However, I wouldn't recommend this to a shopaholic or if your parents are going to have to bear the brunt of a massive bill at the end of it all!

This blog (I hope) will answer any beauty, hair, fashion related questions you might have and as I love food and making desserts I might even throw in a few of my own if they're worth it!

Love,
N
