Thank you to BeautyMommies for nominating me for this award. Their blog has some cool posts so make sure to click this link and check them out! How I Started: I’ve wanted to have my own beauty and fashion blog for years but I was scared of what people would say. When I started grad school I decided to make my blog because I got a fresh start with new people so I didn’t really care what anyone had to say about me. I got over the fear of other people’s opinions. My best friend also supported me a lot and encouraged me and motivated me to do it. He comments on all my blogs as Superman <3 haha. Advice to Other Bloggers: Consistency is key. Blog about what you love and are passionate about!

Dry shampoo is a must-have if you’re someone like me who washes their hair every 2-3 days. Initially I thought dry shampoo was a myth until I finally tried it for myself and realized what a staple it is. I’m still looking for my favorite one, but here are my thoughts on the ones that I’ve tried so far. 1) Loreal Paris EverStyle Dry Shampoo Out of the three that I’ve tried, this was my least favorite. This works for like 3 minutes and then my hair is greasy again. 2) Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo This product is great for absorbing excess oil and adding volume to the hair. It’s also super long lasting. This is my favorite out of the three. 3) TRESemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo My hair does not look greasy at first when I use this product but it isn’t very long lasting. I also don’t see much added volume with this product. I have very thick coarse hair so it might work better on someone with thinner hair. Any suggestions on which ones I should try next?

Off-the-shoulder tops and dresses have been in style for a little while now and I’m in love! I feel like this trend is flattering on so many body types. It’s so fun and girly and comfortable! I especially love the off-the-shoulder choker combo shirts! Here are some of my favorite pieces: These pieces (from left to right) can be found at the following stores: H&M, Express, Missguided, and Forever 21. *I do not own these pictures… they are from the company’s website. Hope you guys liked my first fashion post! What are some of your favorite trends this season? Follow me on instagram! @sayeedah_
Gerard Cosmetics is one of the online makeup brands that I absolutely love and adore! Their products are truly amazing and they always have some sort of sale going on! During their Black Friday sale I got some lipsticks, lip glosses, and a hydra-matte liquid lipstick. The one thing I hate about online shopping is choosing a color based off of their swatches. They always use fairer skinned models, so it’s hard for someone darker to choose. Soooo… here are my swatches of the colors I got! From top to bottom: Rodeo Drive Lipstick Vintage Rose Lipstick Electric Rose Supreme Lip Creme Destiny Supreme Lip Creme Crystal Lipgloss Ruby Slipper Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick Lipsticks: The formula is creamy, pigmented, long-wearing, and not drying at all.. basically everything you want out of a lipstick. Also, the gold bullet packaging is so cute!!! Lip Glosses and Lip Cremes: Their lip glosses and lip cremes are pigmented and not sticky at all. “Crystal” lip gloss goes on so beautifully over so many colors, especially coral-nudes. Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks: I bought ruby slipper which is beautiful. It has little specks of red sparkles. The color is such a beautiful extra dark red. It is lightweight and lasting (you need to reapply if you eat). It isn’t drying like other liquid lipsticks. I’d definitely recommend them! Here’s a pic of me wearing ruby slipper: Hope you liked this blog post! What are some of your favorite GC products? Let me know in the comments! Xoxo-Sayeedah <3 insta: @sayeedah_
Happy Holidays everyone! I’m posting this week’s blog a little early because I’m going out of town this week. I might put some pics of my trip on my instagram so you guys can check them out if you’d like. Anyways, I swear by the product I’m about to mention!! I have super dry lips but this secret keeps them hydrated: Line lips with lip liner and fill them in if you’d like. Apply Nivea’s Lip Butter all over. It’s important to line your lips first because lip liner will be hard to apply after putting on this product. Apply Matte lipstick. It’s as simple as that! I’ve tried using regular chapstick first but my lips get super dry still. However, with this lip butter by Nivea my lips feel super soft and supple underneath my matte lipsticks. This product also lasts for like 5-6 hours! Talk about amazing! What’re some of your favorite lip hydration products?? 🙂 P.S. If I have time I will do another post this week. Keep your eyes peeled. Maybe a Gerard Cosmetics mini haul + review? 🙂
People go crazy over Kylie Jenner’s liquid lipsticks! They used to get sold out in a matter of minutes! But is it really worth the craze? I bought the Kristen lip kit which is kind of a strawberry red type of color (more pink than red). Here are swatches: I like that it’s a nice color and the pigmentation is great. It’s a unique color with a very pleasant scent. The lip liner is creamy and glides on easily. I don’t like that it isn’t very long wearing and that it is drying. I know that liquid lipsticks generally ARE drying but the Kylie liquid lipsticks are more drying than other liquid lipsticks I’ve tried. After wearing this lipstick for a while it gets a little patchy on my lips (some parts more pigmented then others). I will say however, I don’t reapply my makeup throughout the day. So if you’re someone who does, then this might not be an issue for you. Is this a MUST HAVE? Honestly, for $29.00 plus shipping (comes up to a little over $40.00 w/ shipping in the US) I wouldn’t purchase another one. But it’s nice to have one as a collectible. 🙂
