Summer Must Haves!

Hey Luvs, it's mahe here! Today's post is going to be all about summer must haves! These are just a few summer essentials that I love and can not live without!

Sunglasses! it is super important that we protect our eyes from the sun! No one wants to get wrinkles around their eyes!

Fedora! This is another cute safety measure to protect our face from the sun.

Sunscreen! Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunblock is my favorite sunscreen! I recommend this to everyone!

Sea Salt Spray! I love using a sea salt spray because it gives your hair cute beachy waves (without actually going to the beach)! I hate using heat in my hair, so this is a good alternative. 

P.S. You can make your own sea salt spray with water and sea salt!

Sun Protecting Lip Balm! It's all about protecting your lips because no one like dry cracked sunburned lips!

Bright Colored Nail Polish!!!

Finally, add some color to those nails to get into the summer vibes!!

PROM! 2014

Hey Luvs, it's been a WHILE!

  So, recently I had my junior prom and it was so much FUN! My junior prom was on a cruise around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Traditionally, in my school the girls wear shorter dresses for junior prom and longer dresses for senior prom. I had to get my dress the weekend before prom because the one i ordered online was not going to make it in time for my prom! I was freaking out as you could imagine because I fell in love with the dress I found online. Butnontheless my mom and I went to the mall on a mission! After spending countless hours in the mall I finally bought a Jessica Simpson dress from Nordstroms! It is a simple navy blue dress with ruffles down the back and an eye lit pattern at the hem of each ruffle and the dress itself. Because my dress was pretty plain I decided to pair a blinged out necklace from Forever21. My rings were also from Forever21 and the studs I wore were from my moms jewelry box. The shoes that I wore were suede strappy pumps with gunmetal studs, I absolutely loved them and surprisingly they are comfortable to walk in! As for my corsage it was light blue with cream carnation flowers and a blue ribbon! Side note: I am blogging about my prom 2 weeks after and my corsage is still alive! As for my hair I french braided my hair back on both sides and curled it. I hope you guys enjoy these prom pictures! Thanks for reading! xo, mahe

Double OOTD!!

Hey Luvs, its Mahe here with another OOTD post, this time with Raahema!! So lets start with Raahema's outfit, she is wearing a blue lace peplum top which I believe is from Forever21 and with that she put on a maroon, navy blue, and cream  cropped striped sweater on top. The peplum top underneath added a bit of a girly touch and is a perfect way to wear a crop top in the winter. Lastly she is wearing light wash skinny jeans from Hollister which make the look a bit more casual. We didn't go anywhere which is why we both don't have shoes on! 

As for my outfit I decided to wear a cream sweater with a glitzy snowflake on it! I absolutely love this sweater, it is super cozy and very girly. You can not tell from the picture but the snowflake is sparkly with a lot of sequence. I paired my sweater wit super dark wash skinny jeans from Hollister and wore my American Eagle taupe shimmery socks!

Our outfits we chose to wear are so easy to put together and took absolutely no effort, but they are still stylish!!

I hope you guys enjoyed this quick post!!

Spring in the Winter?!? OOTD!

Hey luvs, it's mahe here with an outfit of the day post!! Here in New Jersey the weather has been fluctuating a lot! One day it will be freezing and snowing and the next day the weather is nice and pleasant. So today my outfit was geared more towards the spring time. My floral sleeveless top is from Charlotte Russe, my cardigan is from New York and Company, and lastly my corduroy pants are from Macy's. As for my shoes I just wore simple black combat boots from Target. This is a very simple outfit   but at the same time it is fashion forward. I hope you guys enjoyed this quick post!!

This foundation has definitely been one that I've been loving

because of its creamy consistency, yet matte look.

This powder is extremely affordable and great quality!

I love this lip balm because it moisturizes while giving color.

Double Cartilage Piercing!

Hey luvs its Mahe here! So I recently turned 17, which is really exciting!!! I can't believe I'm getting so old!! I had such an amazing birthday with my friends and family and I couldn't be more grateful! Anyway, one of my presents that my parents gifted me with was having permission to get another ear piercing (or 2 lol)! So here is how my experience went:
So I got it done at Claire's, for about $60. Claire's does have free ear piecing but not for your cartilage, it is a $3 extra charge. I recommend that you buy white gold earrings because your cartilage can affected really easily. Don't be afraid to ask the lady (or guy) if they have done a cartilage pricing before. The lady (Amanda was her name) marked my ears with a marker to see if I liked where the piercings were going to go. I did like where the top piercing was going to go, but I wasn't fond of the placing of the bottom piercing, I wanted it to go above the top piercing. Amanda told me that the reason why I shouldn't get it pierced that high is because the backing of the earring would show. Once she pierced the top piercing and showed me I loved it and decided to keep the second piercing underneath the first one as she marked it. Ughh I'm rambling way to much!!!
As for the pain it did NOT HURT AT All!! I wouldn't even say I have a low pain tolerance and it didn't hurt. I was shocked!! My ear did get sore and is still a little sore but it was totally worth it!! A lot of my friends said that they couldn't sleep on it for a couple weeks (and they only got 1 cartilage piercing) but I was fine sleeping on mine for the first night. I have to keep the cartilage piercing in for 8-12 weeks and then I can put another earring in but I always need to keep an earring in for 1 year. I also have to clean 3 times a day.
I am so happy for the results and I'm already planning my next couple piercings I want to get!!!! Tell me what you all think of my piercings in the comments below!! Tell me if you have any cool piercings!

Review!! Garnier BB Cream

Hey Luvs, it's Mahe here!! I know I know I haven't been bloggin' lately, but I am determined now to keep up with frequent posts! Todays post is a review on a new BB Cream I have been trying out. I have been using the Garnier Skin Renew BB cream in the shade medium/deep. All I can say is I LOVE IT!! I thought that the Maybelline BB Cream was my all time favorite but I was wrong! I have been loving the Garnier one! The Garnier BB Cream also doubles up as a sunscreen. It has a pretty thick consistency but when you apply it to your face it is pretty runny. A little goes a long way!

 

As far as the coverage is concerned it evens out my skin tone and has light to medium coverage. When wearing this BB cream I do recommend using a setting powder because it does make my face look shiny. The reason why I love this one more than the Maybelline one is because the Garnier one does not make me look orange and it has better coverage in my opinion!!

Overall I am in love with this BB cream!! This is the perfect foundation alternative for the summer because it has the perfect amount of coverage, it doubles as a sunscreen and it is moisturizing!

I would definitely recommend this product, it is a must have!!!

Miranda Kerr: Look For Less!

Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here with a "Look For Less!" Today I am going to be recreating supermodel Miranda Kerr's everyday style! Enjoy!

Miranda Kerr has an amazing style and was recently seen wearing a casual outfit while out with her son Flinn. Now, although Miranda's outfit is probably extremely expensive, you can easily get this look for a lot less! The first item I found was this light gray tank top from Forever21. This tank is very similar to Miranda's and retails for only $7.80. I paired the tank with a leopard print skirt, also from Forever21. This skirt is almost identical to Miranda's and is only $19.80. For shoes, I added a pair of black combat boots, $42.50, from Charlotte Russe. As for accessories, Miranda kept it pretty simple with just a tan fedora and some black sunglasses. I found this very similar fedora from Forever21 for just $10.90.

 

I hope you enjoyed my "Look for Less!" Leave any post suggestions in the comments below!

What's In My Beach/Pool bag???!!

Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here showing you what's in my beach bag! Now, living in Pennsylvania, I don't hve any beaches very closeby, but this is what I would take to the beah when I'm visiting Mahe in New Jersey or when I'm at the pool!

 

Item 1: Beach Bag!! Duh!

My beach/pool bag is this pink sequined one from Victoria's Secret. I got it during a Black Friday special but I think you can find it online!

 

Item 2: Bathing Suit!

 

A cute swimsuit is deinitely a must-have for going to the beach or pool! With a huge variety of styles, colors, and patterns, how can anyone resist?

 

Item 3: Sunscreen

I always make sure to keep a good suncreen in my beach bag like this Neutrogena one with spf 70.

 

Item 4: Towels

Towels are a neccessity for when I get out of the water or if im lying in the sun!

 

Item 5: Lip Balm!



I always keep a good lip balm and moisturizer in my beach bag. Recently, I've been using babylips.

Item 6: Moisturizer

Having a good moisturizer is an absolute neccesity for me when I'm at the beach or pool.

 

Item 7: Sunglasses!!

The last and most important thing that I carry with me to the beach or pool is a pair of sunglassess!

 

I hope you enjoyed my "What's In My Beach/Pool Bag" post! Tell me what you take to the beach or pool in the comments below!

My Skincare/Foundation Routine!!

Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here and today I am posting my skincare/foundation routine! Now, keep in mind, I don't wear foundation everyday, but this is my routine for when I do! Enjoy!

 

Step 1: Cleanse

So, the first thing I do after brushing my teeth in the morning is cleanse my face with the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. This is a gentle cleanser that is good for all skin types which is perfect for my combination skin.

 

Step 2: Moisturize

The second part of my skincare routine is to moisturize my skin. Recently, I have been using the Vaseline lotions, specifically the "total moisture" one.

 

Step 3: Foundation

The foundation that I've recently come across is the "Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation." To apply this makeup, I usually use my fingers to gently rub it into my skin.

 

Step 4: Powder

Because the Covergirl foundation is 3-in-1 (primer, foundation, concealer), I usually skip concealer and go straight to the powder. To set my foundation, I have been using the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder. To apply this I just use an Elf face brush, and evenly distribute the powder over my face.

 

That is my entire skincare and foundation routine! To remove my makeup a night I use the Almay eye makeup remover and the Cetaphil cleanser I mentioned above. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and leave any questions or comments down below!

Review: Rimmel Stay Matte Powder!

Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here with a review on one of my recent makeup purchases, Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder. Enjoy!

                           PROS:                                               CONS:

• Cost- $3.97                                             - difficult to open
• Matte but not too powdery                       - not the best for dry skin
• Long-wear   

 Well, I hope you enjoyed my review! Overall, I would definitely recommend this product for oily or combination skin. However, I might not use it on very dry skin.

Nails of the Day!

Hey Luvs, it's Mahe here with a post showing you all my nails! I just painted them so I thought I would show you them!! So I used three colors and I have yet to put a top coat on!! For the main color I used a baby pink polish that is the one in the middle. It is pretty shear so I used about two coats. On top of that I used  a Jessica polish that is shear as well, this gave my nails a pearly look which I really like! Lastly on my ring finger I put a glitter diagonal accent, using Essie's a cut above!! Do you have any cool nail designs that you have worn? Send me a picture and I may Instagram it, giving you a shout out!! @maaheyk

Fashion in Another World: OOTD!

Hey luvs it's Mahe here with an outfit of the day post. It's not just any outfit it is one of my Pakistani outfit. The shalwaar kameez I chose to wear today isn't considered to be super dressy or casual. My bought this for me from Pakistan a few years ago and I'm in love with it! The kameez (shirt) is pink with gold and silver metallic work with pink beads. It may be hard to tell but the shirt gradually gets darker. I chose to wear white chouridar as the shalwar (pants), which are skinny pants and silver sandals to top of the look! I hope you enjoyed my Pakistani outfit of the day I haven't done one in forever! In the comments below request some post ideas that you would like to see!

OOTD! Sweet 16 Edition

Hey luvs, it's Mahe here with an outfit of the day! Tonight I went to a sweet 16 so I thought I would share with you what I wore. The dress I wore is a cream chiffon high low dress. It came with a gold belt and it had gold straps. The dress is from a store called Joyce Leslie that I believe is only in New Jersey. It is a typical Jersey store!! I paired two cream and gold flower rings together from Charlotte Russe and my multi colored sandals are from Pakistan!
