My Skin...

I thought I'd start my blog with a beauty based post which focusses primarily on my skintype and skincare regime.
Sometimes I have a habit of rambling on and on...but I intend to keep this post short and sweet :)

My Skin Type

*My skin type is combination and therefore tend changes with the seasons, during Spring/Summer I would describe it as oily whereas in the Autumn/Winter it is normal/dry - my cheeks and undereye areas are prone to dryness so I switch to a more rich moisturiser.

*At the moment, I would say it is normal/oily but because the weather is changing it isn't as oily as it can be! During the summer months, I tend to wear less makeup and it literally slides off :S I don't really wear a lot of makeup anyway but I love to experiment with colours and I do love my blush!!

My Current Skincare Regime




Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Gel Wash

This is quite a strongly scented gel which lathers up a little on the face and it is invigorating indeed. I have been using it for over 3 months now and it cleanses my skin nicely.




Rosewater/Cucumber Toner

I actually mixed a Garnier toner with some Rosewater and it really freshens up my skin after cleansing it and also provides my skin with extra moisture.




Neutrogena Visibly Clear Oil Free Moisturiser

Let me tell you...I have been through so many skincare products high end and drugstore and well both have their pros and cons. The high end moreso with their pricetags and the low end with their short-lived improvement for the skin. In terms of high end if i could afford it I would perhaps buy Dermologica. I tried out a travel pack just over a year ago and the results were amazing, honestly my skin felt so well cared for! Whereas in terms of low end I used to work for Lush's sister company 'B' and I bought Lush skincare for a good while but it was shortlived :(

At the moment I have been using this moisturiser for over 3 months as well and I love it. It has a very mild scent, the consistency is very good and my skin feels instantly smooth and toned. I will definitely be buying this product again when I've ran out!




Soap and Glory 'You Won't Believe Your Eyes' Eye Moisturiser

I like the fact that this eye moisturiser is an illuminator as well as an undereye moisturiser. It has a very nifty rollerball applicator which means you don't use too much product and that it also glides onto your skin smoothly. I have been using this for about 6 months and I am just coming to the end of the tube now. It has really brightened up my eye area and dealt with some minor dryness perfectly.





Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Daily Facial Scrub


I like this scrub but not as much as the Neutrogena Visibly Clear. Why? I feel I don't get much of a scrub out of this product even though the the exfoliating beads are of a reasonable size...hmm it just isnt working for me. Thankfully I am halfway down the tube so not long to go before I repurchase the VC scrub.




Neutrogena Deep Clean Makeup Remover

Love, love, love this product. The only makeup remover that does the job properly! It is a creamy gel which I apply to cotton wool and then use on my face to remove my makeup.




Vitamin E Skin Oil

This product is amazing especially since it is getting quite chilly now. I tend to use this in the evening after I have cleansed and toned. It smells divine and although in the evening it leave my skin slightly greasy, by the morning my skin is a soft as a baby's bottom :P

So these products make up my skin care regime at the moment and they have been working pretty much fine for my skin although I have tried and tested way too many products but these have worked best for me so far.

I hope you all enjoyed reading my 1st proper blog...

Peace out

Welcome to my fresh new blog...

Hello all you lovely people...

I know it's been a while but I have been crazily busy with Ramadan, family and work...

I have finally found some time to have a play around with Blogger to update and revamp my blog and I must say I am liking very very much :)

I have decided that I do not want my blog to be purely based on makeup as lots of things tend to inspire and provoke thought within me when I am out and about...

I will post a proper full length blog hopefully by the end of the week but for now here is an update on me. I've kept it to 5 facts so not to bore you all completely! :)

My Brief Update:

* I am currently working two new jobs: during the week I work as a teaching assistant and during the weekends I work as a young person's carer :)

* I have recently started my driving lessons, yes 2 years after I received my provisional but I did opt for automatic tuition :P

* I am looking forward to starting up Bellydance Lessons next week...bring on the shimmies habibi :)

* For Eid I treated myself to the Urban Decay BOS III ( I am yet to open and swatch!!)

* I am busily working away on the launch of 'Yasmin Kaiser', my business venture :)

Well that's all for now...

I have a feeling my next blog will be a beauty based blog, seeing as though the seasons are changing I thought it would be useful to discuss my skin type and skincare regime...

Take care for now
