2014 favourites!!!

I know I'm pretty late but I've been super busy the last couple of months!!!

Ok now I've got a range of products from beauty to foods! 

1- Boots cucumber facial wash

This has been my favourite cleanser of 2014, I used to use michael todd cleanser it was great at first but after a couple of weeks my skin started to get flaky and this didn't make me happy at ALL! I was on vacation and I ran out of my cleanser so I saw my mum using this and from the first time I tried it my flaky skin disappeared and from that moment on I kept using it and I loved it! 

It cleans really well and makes my skin so soft.

2- Mario Badescu alpha grapefruit cleaning lotion

I was looking for a toner after I ran out of my michael todd toner so the lady at mecca maxima told me to get this, I love that its alcohol free and its so gentle on the skin and I feel that my skin gets cleaner when using this after my cleanser.

3- First aid beauty facial radiance pads

This is by far the best exfoliator/brightening product ever!!! 

These are exfoliator pads that gently exfoliates your skin and brighten it. Every single exfoliator I used before this used to make my skin flaky, red and irritated but this one is amazing! It exfoliates really really well and doesn't irritate my skin whatsoever this is my third one and I don't think I'll ever replace it!! First aid beauty thanks a lot!!!

4- Bioderma micelle solution

I love this product, its so gentle on the eyes and doesn't sting at all and I especially love to put some on my cotton swabs to remove any mistake I did while putting my makeup it makes it a lot easier. I also would like to try the garnier one so many people recommonded it to me!! 

4- Chanel Le Lift crème fine

This moisturiser makes my skin super smooth like a baby's butt! And it gives my skin radiance and I've noticed that it tightens my pores which is aaahh-maazing. It is more on the pricer side but I think its worth every penny.

5- Lush popcorn lip scrub

This is basically a scrub but for your lips, i usually scrub my lips twice a week. Not only does it leave my skin super soft and smooth but it taste delicious! (You can actually lick it I know it sounds gross but it taste great!) 

6- Boots simply sensitive cleansing wipes

Best wipes I have used this year, they're so gentle on my skin yet they remove every single trace of makeup I have on. Beautiful just beautiful! 

7- Avène thermal spring water

I definitely soothes the skin, I especially use it on my face after laser hair removal and it soothes my skin a lot and reduces redness but I also spritz this on my face after makeup I don't know why but I always do that! 

Its great if you're mostly living in a hot climate you can spritz this whenever you're feeling hot. Its so refereshing and feels great! 

8- Allegra rhodes red lychee body mist

I have an instagram post talking about Allegra Rhodes products if you'd like to check them out. It has the right amount of musk, fruitiness, and floraly scents. I love spritzing this all over my body after I take my shower it smells amazing.

9- Brown Incense perfume

This has been my go to perfume, Its a mix of amber and oud. Its soooo long lasting, it'll stay on my clothes for daays! I've already repurchased this as I won't be able to find it in Australia.

10- Rausch Haartinktur hair lotion

I've spoken about this over and over again. Check my instagram or my previous posts for my review about this product.  HANDS DOWN THE BEST TONIC FOR HAIR GROWTH. Just keep on using it and you'll notice hair growth (baby hairs) in a week or two. Highly recommended! 

11- Batiste Dry Shampoo

I tried a lot of dry shampoo this year but this one was just different, It doesn't leave any residue, doesn't make my hair dull and it absorbs really quickly. It gives my hair a lot of texture also, I love this and for the time being I don't think there are better dry shampoos. 

12- Chou Chou toothy tabs 

I was in Dubai when I first got this, the lady at lush recommended it to me. I bought two different kinds, one for teeth whitening and one for sexy breath ( as the lady told me :) ). I do regret the one for teeth whitening as it tastes awful just awful and the after taste is disgusting, but this one I like the smell is absolutely beautiful, it cleans my teeth really well and I love the fact that these are all natural ingredients. Also, this for me is a genius invention because I travel a lot any toothpaste I take with me will make a mess in my luggage so the tablets are so convenient. 

13- Questbar protein bar

These for me are the best protein bars out there I tried lots of different protein bars and different flavours but questbar has the best flavours ever. I like the chocolate brownie flavour but I like the oreo one much more ( I ran out of my oreo protein bar so I couldn't take a photo). Anyhow, I take this after my workout sometimes I'll have my protein shake and sometimes I'll have the protein bar. It does have an after taste though but its not that bad. 

14- Hunter's hand cooked potato chips

This I used to have every other day as a healthy snack before I switched to paleo diet. It was so tasty and I loved it a lot and the good thing is that it doesn't have all those nasty things they put in a regular potato chips. 

These are my skincare, hair-care and random favourites of 2014, I will be uploading my beauty favourites of last year soon hopefully as I'm busy with exams, please bare with me :) 

Michael Todd Acne Or Oily Skin Kit!

I've recently started using the Michael Todd for my skincare regimen. I've ordered the Acne or Oily skin kit, I got the starter kit just because I wanted to try out their products and not pay the full price if they didn't work for me. 

توني بلشت استخدم منتجات مايكل تود للبشرة, احلى شي فيهم ان عندهم طقم فيه احجام صغيرة من المنتجات عشان الواحد يقدر يجربهم بالاول قبل لايشتري الحجم الكبير في حال ان ما نفع معاهم.

Just a quick disclaimer, this is purely my opinion. What works for me, may not work for you. But it might help some of you guys with oily skin. 

بس قبل لا ابلش اتكلم عنهم, هذا رايي الشخصي ممكن في اشياء تنفع معاي وماتنفع غيري على حسب بشرة كل شخص بس ممكن الناس الي بشرتهم دهنية نفسي تستفيد من هل بوست

I have tried sooooo many different skincare products from different brands and I haven't seen anything like these products, I loved them so so much. I have been using Clarins products for my skincare for about two years and I wasn't so happy with them, I have also used Neutrogena, Clean and clear and so many other brands but nothing I have used can be compared to Michael todd products.

جربت وااايد منتجات من اكثر من ماركة بس ليلحين ماشفت مثل منتجات مايكل تود. استخدمت كلارنس حق بشرتي تقريبا سنتين و ماكنت حابه النتايج وايد و هم استخدمت منتجات من نوتروجينا و كلين اند كلير وكذا ماركة غيرهم بس ولا شي جربته يتقارن مع منتجات مايكل تود.

What I also love about Michael Todd is that everything is made with organic ingredients. And as stated on their website their products are paraben, triclosan, phthalates and sulfates free. They also don't use mineral oil artificial color or synthetic fragrance to their products. And this best thing about them they don't test on animals!!

ماكيل تود منتجاتهم كلها طبيعية وهذا احلى شي فيهم,

The kit includes a cleanser, toner, scrub and a moisturizer. 

الطقم فيه غسول, صنفرة ,تونر و مرطب. و هم بعد معاه ماسك.

You can order this starter kit from the link above.

http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/skin-type/oily/charcoal-detox-deep-pore-cleanser.html

You can order the full size of this cleanser from the link above.

This is the charcoal detox deep pore gel cleanser, I don't mind the charcoal smell at all I don't think its very strong. I use this twice a day and the thing I like about this is that you only need a small amount to cover your whole face and neck. This is the first product I have used that actually do clean my pores.

هذا غسول الفحم, في ناس ماتعجبهم ريحته بس انا كلش ما شفت هل شي عادي يعني لا ريحته عجيبه ولا مو حلوة. استخدمه مرتين باليوم مرة الصبح و مرة بليل قبل لا انام و ماتحتاجون كمية كبيره. كمية صغيره منه تكفي الويه و الرقبه وااايد عجبني اول غسول استخدمه صج ينظف المسام عدل.

http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/skin-type/oily/mtto-jojoba-charcoal-facial-scrub.html

You can order the full size of the scrub from the link above.

 I then follow up with the jojoba charcoal facial scrub, I cannot stress enough about this. This exfoliates my skin really well without being too harsh on it and makes my skin so so soft! 
Even if one day I decided to change my skincare regimen (not any time soon) I would still purchase this over and over again. YES, its that good! 

بعدها استخدم الصنفرة, شكلها مايشجع كلش ادري بس ماتوقع فيه صنفرة احسن منها. تصنفر الويه عدل من غير لاتكون وايد قاسية وماتاذي البشرة كلش و تخلي بشرتي ناعمة حييل!

http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/skin-type/oily/blue-green-algae-antibacterial-toner.html

You can order the full size of this toner from the link above.

This is the blue green algea toner, I use this after the scrub. This smells absolutely beautiful and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and moisturized. I will probably keep using this as long as they make it.

بعدها استخدم التونر ريحته وايد حلوة ويرطب البشرة عدل

http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/skin-type/oily/mtto-moisture-lite-non-oily-hydrating-lotion.html

You can order the full size of this moisturizer from the link above.

 This is the moisture lite, although this is pretty light but it does a pretty good job at hydrating my skin. I love the light consistency as I have oily skin and I don't like the feeling of thick moisturizers on my skin. My skin feels so smooth after using this.

واخر شي استخدم المرطب, هل مرطب حيل خفيف بس يرطب عدل عدل وانا بما ان بشرتي دهنية افضل المرطب الخفيف اكثر من الثقيل كلش ماحب شعور المرطب الثقيل على ويهي. ينعم الويه حيل.

http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/skin-type/oily/kaolin-clay-detoxifying-facial-mask.html

You can order the full size of this mask from the link above.

And this is the Kaolin Clay detoxifying facial mask, this is the only thing that I didn't like so much. Although it does an amazing job, it cleaned all the blackheads on my nose and left my face feeling refreshed but it also dried the area around my lips which I really didn't like but then again I only used this once because of the results but I might try it again just to give it another chance.

وهذا الماسك المفروض ان استعمله مرة او مرتين كل اسبوع بس هذا الشي الوحيد الي ماحبيته صج ان نظف ويهي عدل و حتى تخلص من كل الرؤوس السوده بس نشف بعض الاماكن حوالين حلجي وهل شي كلش ماحبيته و استخدمته مرة وحده ووقفت بسبة هل شغله بس بجربه مره ثانية لان ممكن اكون مستخدمته غلط. 

The kit also comes with a couple of samples, I haven't had the chance to try them yet but will post a review as soon as I try them.
