These are a few of my favorite things: April

Hey lovely readers so today I'm going to be talking about my April favorites *I know i know its late* I am trying this thing for the very first time I've seen everyone do it everywhere specially vloggers on YouTube, for those of you that are not familiar with favorites it's just a post or video that a blogger films or writes to just share with their readers what are their favorites for the past month, and that is exactly what I'm going to do; my post is going to be about my favorite beauty products, my favorite accessories and Random favorites of April. So let's start

First let's tackle the beauty products

1- The first thing that deserves an honorable mention is my day cream I'm using the Estée Lauder daywear moisturizer, this product is amazing you don't feel it on your face but you know it's there and with this heat in the Gulf area this thing is amazing I've noticed positive changes in my skin.

2- The other thing I cannot live without is the No7 lift and luminate night cream this thing does wonders for your face I feel a lot of changes happening.

3-  Better exfoliate a lot in the summer because you get rid of all the dead cells and feel the smoothness of your skin so I use the salt scrub which is by a company called kedem I got it from UK and it is just the most amazing thing ever it smells so fresh and when I'm done I use the body butter which smells like mango and I love me some mango!!

4- This next thing isn't just one product but they are three different products but under one category mascaras, I have an obsession with mascaras I'm always on the hunt to find the ones that'll make my Lashes more voluminous and give them more length, in April 

I've been loving these three mascaras

A- benefit's they're real.

 B- Maybelline’s one by one volume express.

                                              

C- Lancôme's hypnosis doll eyes.

5- on my face I normally just use corrector and concealer and my favorite correct of this month has been Bobby Brown and my favorite concealer has been Maybelline super stay 24 hr.

6- my go to eyeliner has definitely been the master precise liquid eyeliner from Maybelline I've heard about it and when I tried it wow I fell in love.

7- I am loving Sephora’s bronzer it is huge and amazing and applies so smoothly, and another product I've been loving is Mac's Fleur Power.

8- on my lips I've been changing it up and playing with a lot of different colors mostly pinks and corals I've been loving Rimmel's lipsticks I just found them and I'm loving that they apply so nicely And they smell amazing, plus two Mac lipsticks (yes they are ALL always in my hand bag).

9- the last beauty product I'm going to talk about is nail polish I love me some nail polish I adore me some nail polish and I love to shake up my nail polish Colors I like to use any color I can get my hand on, so some of my go to colors during the month of April was mint green, coral pink, peach, neon pink and neon yellow.

Now that we're done from the beauty products we go to the other random favorites.

1- I've been loving this bag from H&M I pair it with almost everything and I'm not the type of girl that would wear the same bag for more than a week but this bag is just gorgeous.

2- this statement necklace from Forever 21 is beautiful with any outfit it just adds a certain vibe to the outfit. 

3- these rings have been my go to rings, the spiked one is from Diva, and the heart shaped one is from Forever 21.

4- sparkles are my favorite thing so of course I would love these shades from H&M.

5- My favorite candle of the month of April is Caribbean escape from bath and body works...

6- and my favorite TV show for April is NBC's Smash I've been watching from the day it aired but this month I've just been loving it more

7- favorite song of the month is Florence and the machine's Shake it out I love the Smash and glee version of it I'm listening to it non-stop.

I feel Naked without... *Giveaway*

Hello my lovelies...

Well today I am here to present to you a very special post, as spring and summer are creeping in on us and now that we’ve started taking our winter furs and winter wear off the racks, I think a new season requires a new you, how can you do this you ask???

1-    Change up your look

You can do this as simple as possible; get some new seasonal clothing that go with what’s hot right now, for instance add a pop of pastels to you outfits, as we know pastels are SO IT this season,,,

2-    Join a Gym if you still haven’t

Well!!!! Summer is coming and that means beaches, swimming pools and tanning with your girlfriends, nothing but you, the girls and some music under the sun so you gotta start shaping your body  for the swimwear season ,,,

3-    Get new makeup

Splurge a little and get that product you’ve been eyeing for a while, and get the colors that are going to give you a springy/summery feel...

These products and clothing items and activities are so on my Spring/Summer must Have/Do list, esp the part where i reinvent myself using makeup but i know a bunch of products that I just feel naked without here are the 6 most important ones:

Bobbi brown cosmetic, $22, Yves Saint Laurent blush, £31, Rimmel London matte makeup, $7.14, Lancôme mascara, $26, Maybelline concealer, $7.99, Estée Lauder tinted face moisturizer, $45

I thought I’d give you girls a little push to start doing this and reinvent yourself for the new season, so I am pleased to announce “It’s So Shoosh’s” first ever giveaway...

* DRUM ROLL PLEASE*

the NAKED Palette from Urban Decay!

I can't get enough of this product...I've experimented with it like crazy, Maybe you already own one...but I'm sure you can think of a bff or sister that would love to have one, too!

Oh for the love of Fashion..

Hey Dolls...


I know, I know... it’s been a LOOOOONG time, but have no fear Shoosh is here...

I faced a bit of an issue with my blog but never the less I AM BACK...

*Warning: This Post is picture heavy..*

And boy do I have a post for you girls, since yesterday was the “Official” Launch of Marni for H&M, and so many girls bid farewell to their beds early in the morning, grabbed their coffee and headed out to Bahrain City Center to stand in the queue for god knows how many hours before they can actually get it... Well dear readers I didn’t do any of that, although planning it moths ago, getting ready for the big day and when that day arrived everything fell through, you see the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature has started from Tuesday the 6^th of March and it will persist until Saturday the 10^th of March, and me being an avid reader I knew I HAD to be in Dubai I mean come on where else would I get the chance to meet NICHOLAS SPARKS!!! –For those of you who don’t know him SHAME ON YOU, but he is the author of The Notebook, Dear John, A Walk to Remember... etc.- So I made a plan...

I would travel on Thursday afternoon after a morning spent in H&M getting all the goodies, but alas dear readers the plan as I said before “fell through” because there wasn’t a flight leaving in the afternoon, it’s either morning or nadaa, so I had to settle, I convinced myself that it’s fine I can stand not getting my hands on the yummy Marni pieces and maybe just maybe I’d find SOME in Dubai...

Come Thursday morning, Bag packed, ID ready and on the way to the airport...

My Mum and I Arrived in Dubai at about 10 AM Local time, got to our hotel, settled in and headed for a day of shopping in Dubai Mall, as soon as I reached H&M I was greeted by a beautiful red Carpet along with a standing Banner that had Marni all over it, it was truly Magnificent, and when I glanced at the inside of the store I FROZE... it was 2 PM and the place was STOCKED with Marni, dragging my mother with me I spent a good hour browsing through EVERYTHING and having the privilege to browse quietly and undisturbed and later on emerged out of the place with 2 large bags and one small one SCORE I got what I wanted, except for the beautiful colorful necklace L.. But it’s ok, I'm good..

The Red carpet from the inside

Closer look at the banner

MEEEE Happily posing with my purchases

Later on I continued shopping and here is my Marni haul and the other things I bought...
