Hey luvs, we are Mahe and Raahema. We are two cousins who, despite the geographic distance that divides us, share the same love for fashion. Between living in the Garden state, NJ and the Keystone state, PA, we come across many different people with many unique styles. We are Pakistani-Americans and while we straddle two very different cultures, we find a good balance between the two. Our sense of style is influenced by our religious background as well as our culture. We will fill you in on all the things we are loving this season.xoxo.

Review: Tresemme Heat Protectant!

    

     Hey Luvs! It's Raahema here with another review for you all! Today I am going to be reviewing my Tresemme Heat Protectant. This product is absolutely amazing! I love it!!!!! The spray has a fruity scent that smells wonderful. The product not only protects your hair from heat, but also leaves your hair feeling soft and smooth and silky. I use this product before I blow dry, straighten, or curl my hair. I definitely recommend using a heat protectant if you don't already, and I definitely recommend using this one! Overall, I would give this product a 5 out of 5 stars!


So, what do you think about the Tresemme heat protectant? Leave your response in the comments!

June Favorites!!!!!!

Hey luvs! It's Mahe and Raahema here with our June favorites!!!! In this post we will be telling you about our favorite products during the month of June.

Nail polish:
Mahe: My favorite nail polsi has been Sugar Daddy by Essie! It makes my nails loo very shiny and gives them a hint of pink!
Raahema: This past month I have been loving the french
manicure look. Although that's really two colors
(cream and white), the duo is amazing!

Accessory:
Mahe: I have been loving my Forever21 gold spike
layered necklace! It is very edgy but also girly
with the cream pearls.
Raahema: My favorite accessory during June
has been my coach wristlet! I have the
"Hampton's weekend signature stripe
small wristlet" and I absolutely love it!

Hair Product:
Mahe: I have been loving my Organic Olive Oil hair lotion from target! I works amazing, leaving my hair soft and healthy looking!
Raahema: My favorite hair product is definitely
my Tresseme heat protectent. Not only does this
product protect my hair, but it also smells amazing,
and smooths out my hair.

Eyeliner:
Mahe: As for eyeliner I have been loving my Maybeline line stylist in black. It is very pigmented and easy to apply!
Raahema: My favorite eyeliner has been the L'Oreal Paris Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner in 799 carbon black. This eyeliner is amazing because it has the smoothness of a liquid eyeliner, but the precision of a pencil.

Food:
Mahe: My favorite snack has been strawberries! Strawberries are finally in season (i think) so I can eat them all day long!
Raahema: My favorite food during June has been OREOS!
They are absolutely amazing, and super delicious!

Song:
Mahe: My favorite song this month has been Payphone by Maroon 5!! I have been obsessed with this song!
Raahema: My favorite song this past month has been "I'm Awake" by Katy Perry. This song is absolutely my favorite song!

Clear Skin Anybody???

Hey Luvs, it's Mahe here and today I will be taking about my favorite face products I love to use, to keep my face looking clear. When I was in 5th grade I had really dry skin. Throughout the school year carrying on into middle school, it became worse, and was known as eczema. Eczema is known to be a skin disorder that makes your skin dry and flaky, it also makes your skin very itchy and when you scratch the itch it makes it worse. Thank goodness I don't have it on my face anymore but I still have a pretty big patch on my arm. So today I am going to talk about my favorite products I use on my face.


A product that I recently been loving is the Baby Johnson Oil Gel. I put it on my face and on my body right after I come out of the shower/ before I go to bed. This does wonders to my skin, making it feel super soft and moisturized in the morning.
On nights I don't take a shower I apply Baby Johnson lotion and oil. These two products are amazing and keeps your skin feeling smooth.

*As you can tell I am very into the Baby Johnson Line! If it works on baby it should work on anyone right?!


The daily moisturizer I use is the Aveeno daily moisturizer. This is one of my favorite products to use throughout the day! It doesn't make your skin look oily, it makes it look refreshed. I LOVE IT!

When I look for different skin products I make sure I get the unscented one. This is because different scents in lotions can be very irritating to your skin making it very itchy and your skin looking worse.

When my skin gets more dry than usual I use Vaseline Potrleum Jelly. This is a little more stronger then the products above, so it really helps my dry skin.

I just wanted to mention that these products didn't help my skin right of the bat. I went to a dermatologist who recommended special over the counter creams that can't be purchased in the drugstore, which I still sometimes have to use.

#1 Rule for clear skin: DRINK A LOT OF WATER!!

Hope this post gave you some guys some helpful tips.
xoxo,
Mahe

Review: L'Oreal Eyeliner

                                    


     Hey luvs! It's Raahema here, and today I am going to be reviewing the L'Oreal Paris Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner in 799 carbon black. This eyeliner was featured in our June favorites post, and "eye" absolutely love it! The eyeliner is a liquid pencil which is great because it gives the smoothness and darkness of a liquid eyeliner, while still containing the precision of a pencil. The eyeliner is perfect for both on top and under your eye. I like to wear this eyeliner on my upper lash line and on my lower waterline. This eyeliner retails for about $7-8, which makes it very affordable. You can find this product at most drugstores or other stores like Target or Walmart. However, in my opinion, there is one downside to the product. The eyeliner does not last for a very long time. I had used it almost everyday for about a month when it finished. Overall, I would give this eyeliner 4 out of five stars! I definitely recommend trying it out.
