NYC Make up Show

Beauties....OMG.

I just have to go STRAIGHT into this. Our little BU group started out early for the NYC Make up show. We got 1 day tickets because SOME poor people gotta work!!

Any whoo. The Make up show was great. Who did we see: BECCA, Make Up For Ever, MAC, Ignot,Stilla, Eve Pearl, Crown Brushes, and lots of newbies I didn't know. It seems like the BIG thing there was air brushed make up. I'm not a make artist so..it was way over my head.

So the NYC Make up show comprises of vendors, make up artists, bloggers, press and make up enthusiasts. I guess I'm the later. It was soo nice to see most of the Make up bloggers I frequent. I only took a picture with ONE...too shy and insignificant to say a word.

Amina from Coup de Coeur. Masha~allah such a sweet person..and a real beauty.


After two hours of 'make up,make up, make up' the group was tired and hungry.

Please enjoy the pics.

Review: Stila Backstage Beauty Eye Shadow Palette - The Runway

Here is my review of the Stila Backstage Beauty Eye Shadow Palette - The Runway. This kit is only available from Sephora, however all of the eye shadows and the liner are available for purchase separately should you miss the special set. The set is cute it comes with three full size eye shadow shades, 1 liner pencil in a cute compact with mirror and headband. The product is packaged well and the shades are very nice and highly pigmented. This is a neutral pallet. The liner is smooth and creamy which makes it easy to apply. If applied with a primer the eyeshadow stays true to original application. I applied the shadows mixed with MAC's Fix Plus. I think this is a good buy and a keeper. The total cost for the entire set is $20.00. I give it an A- only because you can not reuse the compact.

Bint Qamar..getting your 'Hijabi On'

Asalaams and Salutations,

So I've been looking at Bint Qamar for a while. I like some of their hijabs and some of their styles. They have great prices...so I decided to buy a hijab or two..or three. Well.............I mean they are hijabs, BUT they are nice and light for the summer time. Check me out this week wearing my Bint Q hijab?

This bag is sooo cute. I think I might use it this summer.


Cute and lightweight hijabs
