DMGM Lime Green Nail Polish Review


My friends and I went to Dubai Outlet Mall. I love this place because of all the luxury name brand bargains you could find. Everything is 60-90% OFF. I went in V Gallery and bought a fun lime green nail polish by DMGM.

The actual color is TOUCH ME NOT 46.  I put 3 coats to really get a nice finishing. I fell in love with it, it's supper fun. The price is aed 25. Made in EU France.

Aolili store brand nail polish Review


I test out many brands of nail polish. You would think that the expensive brands like Chanel are the best, but sometimes the cheaper brands are just as good.


This is the case with this orange Aolili store brand. The brush is big and easy to use.

 It's stayed on for about 5 days. Not bad at all. I polished my nails with two coats of color. I wash my hands many times a day and usually my nail polishes don't last too long. But this little one survived. I bought if from Jesco, a local grocery store in Dubai. I believed I payed around aed5-10. Which is about $1.50-$2.50. I didn't expect much so was pleasantly surprised.

Ardell Eyelash Adhesive Review


I use fake eyelashes once in awhile. I've tried many different eyelash adhesive before. I'm not in favor of any particular brand. So when I saw this one in the pharmacy I became interested because it said that it's dark. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm tired of white eyelash adhesives because my eyeliner gets damaged and I have to fix the mess from the adhesive. 


I liked that Ardell Eyelash Adhesive because it dries dark. At first the color is kind of gray but then it changes to a dark shade. My eyeliner stayed on and I didn't have to fix my eyeliner. I was thrilled.
This swatch is when I first applied it, on the outside you can already see slight color change.
Overall I'm happy with this adhesive and will buy it again when I need it.

Brown Jewelry Organizer Review





Well today must be my lucky day. I got another gift from a second friend. And no, it's not my birthday. Don't you love getting gifts especially when there is no occasion? I do!

I got a light brown jewelry organizer made of soft suede.  I don't know where she got it from or who made it but I love it. It has flower detail on top. It came in a cute plastic bag. It's just adorable. It has 2 zipper compartments.

 I'll definitely use it when I travel.

Roberto Cavalli Leopard Shirt Review




I'm so excited, my best friend  gave me a present today. What you might ask makes me this happy? A gorgeous silk Roberto Cavalli shirt. It's two tone animal print. Which of course, I looooove. I don't have much detail on it, except that I love everything Roberto Cavalli.

 It's loose fit and elegant. I'm always comfortable when I wear Cavalli. He knows what a woman wants.

 I'm very lucky to have good friends. Thank you my dear F.

Btw, the pictures don't do it justice.

Zebra Bracelet Forever 21 Review



I love Forever 21. First of all the name is so encouraging that even a 60  year old woman can be forever 21. Who wouldn't love that?
I like their accessories. I went to Forever 21 in Festival City in Dubai and bought a few jewelry items. I really like this cute seahorse or is it zebra bracelet. It has crystals and it's black and  white. So I guess that makes it a zebra then. lol It's so cute and fun. The price was aed 49.

Penaten Creme Review


Penaten is a German brand but I bought mine from Austria. I really like this cream. It's fantastic for very dry skin. The smell is light and not  bad. I use it on my hands mostly but it's intended for the entire body. We don't have this brand here in the UAE so I use it sparingly. I guess it's advertised for babies, but if it's good enough for a baby it's good enough for me:) The price was about 10 Euro.

Baskin-Robbins Cotton Candy Ice Cream Review

I enjoy having  a sweet once in awhile. When I do have it I want to enjoy it. I buy the best possible sweets out there because I don't want to waste my calories on so-so sweets:) All the ladies out there I'm sure you know what I mean.

I love ice cream, that's my favorite treat. Recently I went to Baskin-Robbins in Spinnes in Dubai. I looked through all the wonderful and colorful ice creams. I couldn't decide. After a few taste tests I chose
Cotton Candy Ice Cream.  When I was little I loved Cotton Candy but I'd never had it in ice cream form.

I fell in love with the first lick. I really did! It was cotton candy but cold. lol The colors are pretty cute and girly. No offence to boys that love cotton candy:) I chose one scoop of ice cream and since I can't eat the container I chose the sugary cone.  I didn't add anything else to it like nuts or sprinkles. I checked on their site the nutrition content, at 8g of fat and 160 calories this colorful ice cream was worth a try. And it was perfect on its own.

I can't wait to treat myself to this treat again. Simply delicious!

I couldn't take a picture of my ice cream cause I was too busy licking. Go on their site and check them out. http://www.baskinrobbins.com

Butterfinger Crisp Mini Taste Review

I love butterfingers! In Dubai they don't sell Butterfingers I was missing this candy so much until I saw Butterfinger Crisp Mini in the store.  I had to buy one and try it out. As expected it was delicious. If you love Butterfinger and penutbutter in general, you will love this candy. I thought it'll be different from the original but not by much. It is crispier and has more wafer. I like that it's lighter than the Butterfinger. I'll buy it again when I see it in the supermarket. I believe I paid around aed 2.00 for it. It was individually sold.
