My Going Out Makeup.

In this post I'll be telling you the products I use on my face whenever I go out. It's super simple, super easy and it's a basic look that will enhance your natural beauty.

Products used: -Benefit ''That Gal'' primer
-Maybelline ''Fit Me'' concealer, shade: 20
-The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit
-NYX Blush, colour: Desert Rose
-Bourjois Bronzing Powder
-Benefit ''Watts Up!'' highlighter
-Rimmel ''SCANDALEYES'' waterproof pencil liner, shade: Bronze
-L'oreal Paris ''False Lash Wings'' mascara
-Rimmel lipstick, shade: Airy Fairy


STEP 1) FACE.

 - Apply your favorite face primer, I'm using the Benefit ''That Gal'' as it brightens my face and makes it look less dull. *optional*
-Use concealer under your eyes and on any blemishes/imperfections, or if you prefer to use Foundation or BB cream go ahead, I'm using the Maybelline Fit Me concealer.
-Using a Bronzer and a small fluffy brush, Bronze up the perimeters of the face such us the hollows of the cheeks, temples and jaw line.
-On the apples of the cheeks, apply a pink/plum blush. The one I'm using is the NYX blush in Desert Rose.
-To finish off the face and give ourselves a natural glow, use a champagne coloured highlighter like the one i'm using which is the Benefit Watts Up.





STEP 2) BROWS & EYES.

-Fill in your eyebrows how you like using a brow powder. A good one is The Body Shop Brow & Liner kit.
-Using the same highlighter you used on your cheek bones, apply it to the inner corner of both eyes to look more awake.
-Line the waterline with a brown pencil liner, I'm using the Rimmel ''SCANDALEYES'' in the shade Bronze.
-Finish off with a coat or two of your favorite mascara, mine is the L'oreal False Lash Wings.




STEP 3) LIPS. *FINAL STEP*

-Apply on your favorite lipstick or lipgloss, I've been loving nude colours lately like the Rimmel Lipstick in the colour Airy Fairy.



Thank you so much for reading and I hope you're having a nice day. :)x

There's no rainbow without a little rain.

Even though I have a beauty related post all ready to be published, I felt like I had to post this one first just because this topic matters to me more than anything else.

 Us people have a lot on our mind, we all have priorities, we all have goals, and I think one extremely important goal is to be happy! Nowadays, all I see are people moaning about everything, about how their life "sucks" and how they hate certain people or school/college or basically anything and it drives me insane! Unfortunately, we live in world where if someone was to ever give you a compliment, you'll forget it the next day, and if you were given an insult, you'll remember it for the rest of your life! We're surrounded by negative thoughts that sadly we forget the small things, the small things that make us happy, we forget the people who love us, the people who would do the absolute for us. We forget that there is a God, who's taking care of us from above, who knows what's best for us, who may give us hard tasks in life, and it's purpose is to learn from them NOT complain about them.

There's so much negativity in the world especially on social media and as much as I hate seeing this kind of negativity, I also wonder why? I get that there is literally no human being on earth that didn't go through or isn't going through a shitty time, and it's totally normal and fine but that's not the issue here, the issue is why complain? Why spread negative vibes? It will get you absolutely nowhere! There are TONS of people who actually don't have the money to sit on the chair you're sitting on and have access to internet and read the post you're reading, Hell! They don't have the money to buy bread! And you're out here, holding your 500$ phone, and all you can do is write stuff about how much you ''hate'' your life?! Instead, you can actually say " Hey, my life may not be easy right now, but I'm still SMILING!"

Just like everyone, I'm a person who went through a lot, better than others not gonna lie and I thank god for that, but I've ALWAYS managed to keep a huge smile on my face. Personally, I don't like complaining, and when I do, I usually hate myself for it cause it's just not me. I love to spread a message that if you have hope, and if you are positive, you'll live a happy life! Isn't that what's important? Is to be happy? If you are finding yourself in a situation that's making you feel down, then CHANGE IT! You are able to take a step and change anything that's bothering you. In the end, just be grateful that you're alive and breathing and that God has given you another day to live a beautiful life, full of laughter, positivity and happiness. Everyday is a second chance! Cherish it! You're born for a reason and I promise you, that reason, IS NOT to be unhappy. Do the things that make you smile, talk to the people you love the most and love you back, don't waste your time on being down cause your life is so precious and life is too short to be anything but happy.

Secret behind my name and Introducing myself.

You're probably wondering why I chose the name Elle when my real name isn't even Elle. Well, Elle stands for my initial '' L '' as my actual name is Lama, The baby dear or as some would like to say '' The Llama '' which is most certainly one thing that gets on my nerves (Hey, we're starting to know each other). Most people have trouble pronouncing my name, so I simply just tell them '' Say it fast! Like ripping off a Band-Aid ''. So this is the secret behind Elle, now, what about Everything? Well, it's pretty self-explanatory, I love everything. Mainly, I have a MAJOR passion for Fashion and Beauty and I've always wanted to start a blog to express my passion to the world, but I never quite had the courage to do so, but here I am. :) But here's another thing, I also love other stuff that's not really related to fashion and beauty, like music, TV shows etc. so I'd love to include that in my blog, but the main focus will be on what I'm truly passionate about, like I've mentioned previously.
Sooooo, I've been rambling about why I chose ''Everything Elle'' and what I'll be doing and stuff,  but I didn't get to truly tell you who I am. Well, my full name is Lama Hassan, Currently 16 years old (will be 17 in 4 months so yay!) and I was born in Emirates, but lived pretty much my entire life in the beautiful Alexandria, Egypt.  Although I love it here and wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else, but sometimes (umm, a lot of times) I can just picture myself living abroad and walking on the streets of New York, LA, 
London, Paris, basically anywhere that isn't Egypt haha

If you know me personally, then you'll know that I'm an extremely happy person, I value my happiness so much, always positive even when I go through the hardest of times, I laugh at anything and everything. ALLAH (God) blessed me with the most amazing and supportive friends and family, if any of you are currently reading this then I love you!

On a less cheesy note and to finally finish this off, I'm planning on posting probably 2/3 times a week. To be informed on when I'll be posting, just follow me on Twitter @EveryythingElle. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you'll be reading and checking out my future posts.
Any feedback and comments are appreciated. Thank you!<3
