Strands Salon in Fanar Kuwait


I want to cut my hair. Most likely after Eid and I usually go to Strands. Does anyone know a similar place I could go to instead? Do you have suggestions of how I should cut my hair? I like short hair but don't know what I should do. I want something trendy and easy to style. I will search for pictures and ask you what you think. We can do a vote too! How does that sound? Too many questions? I will catch you all later. Don't forget to let me know your ideas. Email me any pictures. We will make a post with the pictures and have a VOTE!

Review: Smashbox Makeup in Sephora Kuwait


SMASHBOX is one of my FAVE brands! I have the cream eyeliner set and love it so much. It has shades of black, purple, blue, green, bronze, silver, grey and different degrees of brown (light and dark). I think it is useful because it has a multipurpose use like it can be used as an eyeliner or a base for eyeshadow to create a smokey eyes effect. Although there is a brush with it, it's still not that great, which is why I'm looking for the Arched brush in Sephora.The pallete is showen below.It's small and great for travel.

 
I have to say that everytime I go to Sephora to find the Arched brush, they don't have it. 




It's useful because it helps you apply the eyeliner even on the inner corner of the eyes, without having to stick your hands so close to your eyes.
Sephora, which is the only place I know that sells Smashbox in Kuwait, I must admit, unfortunitly, the place doesn't have amazing staff and sometimes their customer service can be really terrible. I don't know why. Their sales representatives are always chatting with each other and too lazy to work..or they can be very pushy.If you don't know already that there is a Sephora card which everytime you spend 10kd they sign it. After the 4th purchaise you get 10% off the next thing you buy.




Anyways, today I went on their site to see their new products, I discovered they, not only have videos showing you how their products are used, but also you can chat live to any of their makeup artists.





This is great because you get to ask questions on how to use thier products and how to get different looks using the makeup. I also asked about their other product called Eye Illusions:

 

She let me know that there is a new verison of it. If you haven't heard of this before, it is like an eye shadow that is applied to any eye shadow or liner and it changes the colour, depending on which illusion you use. There are three, the blue, pink and I think beige.

This is how my conversation with the person went:

Hello. Thank you for your interest in smashbox cosmetics. My name is Mer. How can I help you today?
SweetD: Hello
SweetD: I have questions about ur cream eye liner palette and how it can be used
Mer: sure, how can I help you?
SweetD: how can I use it? does it have a multipurpose
Mer: These versatile liner palettes are perfect for creating a sexy, smoky eye. Apply a CREAM EYE LINER (try LAVA) all over lid up to crease using DEFINER BRUSH #15, then blend a dark powder shadow (try EYE SHADOW TRIO in SHUTTERSPEED) on top to seal the color and give a soft, diffused effect.
SweetD: how about an everyday look? and which brush should we use to apply the liner?
Mer: For an everyday look you could use a neutral shade like DEEP BRONZE or the METALLIC BRONZE along with EYE LIGHTS in BEAM. I prefer using ARCED LINER BRUSH #21 when using the product as liner and DEFINER BRUSH# 15 for a smudged look.
SweetD: yeah that seems right. Could we use it with the Quad (i forgot the name) that changes the shade of eyeshadows?
Mer: EYE ILLUSIONS? Yes, you can definitely use that product with CREAM EYE LINER.
Mer: May I help you with anything else today?

French Disaster


I've been wanting to do a French manicure for agesss...for those who know me I'm usually too busy to care so much about these things...but since I have nothing better to do :P I'm turning into one of those girls who really think of nothing more than their appearance..so anyways...Today was the day..I planned it out..I would go do my nails in the saloon...I thought I'd head off to the place in 9aba7 ilsalim...I got there and the place was closed..so I thought they might be repairing something and went to the other branch near the city..what do you know it's also closed..it was already 8pm..I was sooo angry...then I saw this sign saying from the beginning of May the saloon will be closed on Sundays..please don't think I'm stupid but I don't read Arabic very well and missed the note in the other place..

I was determined to get a French manicure TODAY and I wanted it NOW..so I drove to busy Salmiya Centre point and brought the Bourjois French set




...It has this brush that is suppose to make this process easy...

WRONG I was trying and trying and after nearly 2 hours I had done three nails on one hand..:/ then I gave up and called my bro's wife who came home and did it in less than 5 mins :S...GOD...I respect all those women who are able to do these "simple" tasks just to make themselves look perfect...:/...I might be smart but I need time to learn to do these things...I feel stupid :/
P.S: for those who don't know I luv Eva which is why I used her pic :P she is so beautiful :D..

Cutting Edges




So as you all know I have an obsession with cutting my hair..I decided to go back to the same place "Cutting Edge" in Salmya..Made the appointment and went...oooo it was soooooo busy cuz it was the day before 3eed...anyways...I was late 15 mins...so when I arrived the woman who is suppose to cut my hair was kind of rushing..(she seemed popular)...she cut my hair :P 6ab3an she asked how much I wanted cut..but all I said I don't know just make it look good...I was listening to her talk to the other worker saying how this woman walked in without a appointment and pretended to have one...!!! What the hell!??!...That's totally not fair...it took me a long time to get a appointment then this woman comes in just like this?...ahhhh...that wasn't the problem...before she finished drying my hair I told her that the front is a bit too long...then she was like yeah okay...I'll check it...it was still longer than I wanted...so I told her to cut...then she told me that my time is up and she had to do the other customer...that was totally unfair...she told me to wait if i wanted...so I did...for more than an hour and half...to get less than an inch cut off.......all I have to say is...that woman is so RUDE...the manager was all like..."you can't keep changing your mind"...what the hell!?...I know what I wanted...:/ anyways..:P now I'm trying to figure out how to fix my hair..since it's never been this short :P...hehe...Mind you...I do like the hair cut and this still didn't change my mind about the hairdresser shes still good :P


Doesn't feel like 3eed...yesterday I went and saw the new cinema in Avenues...7ada 3ajeeeeeeeeeb...bs shino kan za7maaa!!...The people were just walking around not ever shopping...only in Kuwait...:P...

What to do?

My sleeps totally messed up...Every time I come to write a post...nothing comes in my mind..I feel like not only did I become lazy...but the days have no real meaning...

Yesterday, I took a shopping trip...I got really cool make up...the exact colours I was looking for!...It's amazing how buying something makes a person feel so HAPPY! I spoiled myself :P...I can't wait till we start university again! I need to do something with my time..:/...instead of sitting at home sleeping..or eating...

I still didn't decide about my room...thanks everyone for voting!...Looks like I'm sticking to using paint...

Well I'm off now...Hope to be in a better mood soon!
