Gift box??? hehe that's what I thought when my BFF gave it to me.My thoughts went to perfumes,clutches ???...and when I opened the box

 
I was like BFF this is empty... ,maybe it's a scroll,piece of decoration :D,and she was like no you dumbo it's a bangle set holder!! Ahh!! I squealed,literally!!, since I wanted one from so long,Thank YOU so much BFF ,usually people gift you random things,but she gave me something I wanted so badly :D
 
It's like a big round gift box,button-ended straps and has this velvet-ish material inside.
Obviously it doesn't hold all my bangles,but I keep my extra shiny small sets of bangles in it :D
This is something she got from India,yeah, she's an Indian,and so I don't know where you'd get one from.But it's so shiny!! and freaking cute and it's RED  <3
 
Here's some pictures to show it off
 
 
 
 
Just in case, you are wondering where these bangles are from:
First: Random shop near my house
Second: Random street shop in Madina ,bought them when I was a seventh grader
Third: LA Passion I guess??
Fourth: KATWALK in Pakistan,when I was in eighth.
 
 Dhu-al-Hijjah is the month of pilgrimage,the Hajj which is one of the five pillars of Islams,obligatory on all Muslims who are of age,have the health and wealth to do so.It consists of elements from the time of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
It begins from the 8th of Dhul-Hijja till the 12th corresponds to (24th October of this year).They are quiete a few rites that are performed during Hajj,an since I am no scholar you better refer to a good book on Hajj.Again, Hajj shows equality amongsts Muslims of all caste and races,and is an act of submission to Allah.
After Ramy al-Jamarat (Stoning of the devil), is the slaughtering of the animal,to symbolise the mercy Allah had on Propher Ibrahim (AS) by replacing his son with a ram,that was then sacrificed.After this Muslims all around the world celebrate Eid-ul-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice) or Bakra Eid (Bakra=Goat),which lasts for three days.
Those who have not performed the Hajj,will also offer the sacrifice,which is then divided into 3 parts,one for the family itself,other for neighbours or relatives and the last one for the needy.Oh and the days of the Hajj,people who aren't able to perform it ,can spend their time fasting,reading the Quran all of which is very rewarding.
 
****Disclaimer: I am no scholar,this was just to enlighted my readers ,if you wish to seek Islamic guidance,do go for more authenticated sources.****
 
 
   
 
Finally, Hajj vacations are here :D !!
So today I am going to another review (surprise,surprise) but this one's the one I've been raving for a long time.
 
What it says:
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30 feels like you have nothing on, but offers broad-spectrum protection to help prevent sun damage.
This dermatologist-tested formula uses Avobenzone to provide advanced protection against damaging UVA and UVB rays, along with Dry-Touch technology for an ultra-light, non-shiny finish. Fast-absorbing and waterproof, this non-oily formula is enriched with anti-oxidants to help skin fight the harm caused by environmental damage.
Heavy sun protection never felt this light on your skin.
Waterproof
Sweatproof
PABA-free
Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) 
 
     
     
What it does:
Really in short everything it claims,it's just so amazing, I can't tell you!! It's obviously moisturising enough,at first it was a li'l greasy but later on  it just became matte, I was really really surprised,it didn't give a whitish cast on my face ,neither did I feel I had something on my face,it is really light-weight and stays on well.The skins becomes really smooth which is actually very compatible with my foundation routine.Moreover, it's not sticky, just perfect doesn't smell so bad and is the perfect base for my make-up :D And I haven't shown any allergic reaction to it ,neither does it break me out.I recommend this to everyone 'coz it's simply amazing :D.Oh! and I apply it using the five-dot system,so I get an even layer.The only thing got me a tad bit sceptical was applying it only 15 minutes before leaving,which obviously I don't have time for,so I don't know whether its as effective or not. Rating it 5 Stars !!
    That's pretty much it for this entry :D
It cost me around SR42 which is quiet less than what I paid for the Nivea sunscreen :D
 
 
Garnier Light Eye Roll-on:
 
What it claims:
Eye puffiness and dark circles can make your eyes look dull & tired.Garnier Light Eye Roll-on is a massaging roll-on that combines caffeine and the draining effect of a massage to reduce puffiness and dark circles and brighten the eye contour.
Massage is a technique used by experts to boost natural draining and decongest tired eyes. The formula, enriched with caffeine, known for its stimulating properties on micro-circulation, helps to brighten the skin and boost radiance.
 
What it does: Does exactly what it does,this product amazes me,When I first bought it a year ago I was sceptical about trying it out as previous Garnier products caused an allergy on my face.But when I first put it on my eyes,it was the best feeling ever.The liquid is transparent,and the metal roller which not only massages the under-eye area but also gives a cool feeling to it. Instantly? hmmm that's a little exaggerating but it does make your eyes look less swollen and not so dark.Roll it gently under the yes for 30 seconds and then pat gently and wait for the magic.I like the slim container and the product dispenses of really easily,just give it a little shake before applying.And this awesomeness is just for SR 22!!! We just loves this product so much :D
 
Garnier Light Anti Dark Circles 2-in-1 Tinted Eye Roll-on:  (the name's li'l too long :D)
 
What it claims: 
Dark circles not only make you look tired but also darken your eye contour. Garnier introduces Light Anti Dark Circles 2-in-1 Tinted Eye Roll-on, the 1st refreshing roll-on with dual anti dark circles action
Instant covering action: Concentrated in mineral pigments, it covers dark circles in a flash. Giving you soft, natural looking finish for long lasting wear.
Anti dark circle hydrating care: Enriched with caffeine and pure lemon essence, known for its brightening properties, it combines a hydrating formula and the draining effect of a massage to effectively reduce dark circles and reveal a radiant and fresh look.

What it does:
I just loooooove this product and I have no words for how amazing this product is.Just similar to it's sister product but has one tiny change it's tinted YAY!! It's available in two shades over here : Light-002 (which is sold as Sheer Tint in the US) and Medium-003 (Medium/Deep).I use the latter and my mom the former.And we both love this product.I am on the second bottle and  I have no complaints with the product or the packaging :D It dispenses of really well and blends in really good.


As you can see that's the amount of product that comes out in 1 roll.
But for those who dry under-eye areas I would recommend using an eye-cream prior to application or else it'll look all flaky.Very natural and light finish,stays on for a good 6 hours of school ^_^.And it conceals and illuminates :D And the best part is I use it as an overall concealer for my face.Apart from the eyes I just on the nose and nose corners,centre of the forehead in a fan shape and the mouth corners.I know it's not meant for those areas but I haven't had any problems with it.Instantly brightens up the complexion with a super natural finish :D And its only for SR 24 talk about the cheapness :P

Have a nice day guys!!!
 
PS: This is a treat for my blog, to do two reviews in one, since I haven't been blogging regularly, due to school :D
