Makeup Haul! (MOSTLY DRUGSTORE/ AFFORDABLE)

Welcome back my lovies! x 

Today i'll be sharing with you a quick drugstore makeup haul + one high end item. Most of these products are repurchases while the rest are new stuff I wanted to try and share with you in future blog posts if they're amazing or total duds! 

Before we get started, thought I'd throw a little disclaimer that this post is purely for showing you the makeup I repurchased which indicates how much I love them and for sharing the new products I'll be trying and reviewing them for you guys. Purely trying to help all of you girls out there and not trying to brag nor show off. x So, without further ado let's get started.

Here's an overview of all the products i'll be mentioning .. 

Ba Bye 2016, Hello 17.

2016 has come to an end; definitely the most eventful year so far, at least for me it was.

My 2016 was out of the ordinary, I'm amazed by what 2016 has put me through, can't lie but my 2016 was groundbreaking! So much happened that it almost feels like my entire life was put into the past 365 days. Time flew by so fast, but I can't say that I'm not ready for 2017, cause I surely am!

The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals. Set your mind to what you want to see in your new year, cleanse your soul and create a fresh and new start to your whole life by setting a purpose. God gifted you a new beginning that others didn't have, take advantage of it and don't let your past control you. The past is in the past, it's dead, but you're not. Let go of what makes you bitter, let go of what makes you fade away into the shadows of your own body, let go of what brought you to your knees. Let it ALL go. 

Expectations.

Expectations. The deadly imagination of yearning for something, hoping for it, resulting in utter disappointment and misery. We expect a lot from people, especially the ones we love and care for. We expect the impossible hoping that it can be possible. We expect our dreams and thoughts to turn to reality.
We expect anything and everything, whether it's from friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, family, life, strangers and I can go on and on about the ones we expect perfection from, but in the end, expectations aren't to be relied on. We always respond negatively, we become angry and then we make an attempt to control. We try to force our expectations to the point where we manipulate it.

Darling, It's Just A Phase.

I know I know, I won't even start with the excuses cause I have none actually, but I guess I'm here now and felt like talking to you guys.

I'm currently at a point in life where my emotions are all over the place, it's like a broken compass trying to move north while the arrow is set south, it's the feeling of uncertainty and finding yourself lost in a dark forest trying to find an easy way out when knowing that you'll have to walk a million miles to reach your happy place ; the place of satisfaction, peace and fulfilment. I believe that no words can express what lies in a human beings' heart and soul, but then again we can't help but express our inner feelings and thoughts otherwise the human race will go bananas.

Here's what I came here to say ; darling, it's just a phase. Believe it or not, no matter how shitty your life is right now and you feel like nothing is going according to plan, THIS IS JUST A PHASE! I believe that in order to reach to your desired destination or your happy place you have to go through hardships and battles so you can appreciate the sunshine and rainbow at the end. These battles create a stronger version of who you are, it builds a tough canvas that can handle catastrophes and griefs. However, we can't help but let our sadness and grief to break us into fragments and let ourselves fall into a dark hole and accepting it ; but NO! NO ONE SHOULD ACCEPT IT!

I always say that after Allah, we have control over our lives. When you fall, you get the hell back up otherwise people will walk all over you and we don't want that, do we? 
I fall all the time, it's like the ground and myself are best friends now, BUT I stand up with my head held high and I walk on that floor with high heels not giving a crap about it clicking! 
I know that it's easier said than done, but we all gotta survive in this cruel cruel world while wearing our boxing gloves to punch every hardship up their nose making them bleed to death .. *Woaw there calm down Lama*

It's just a phase. Always know that. It won't last any longer if YOU let it!

Man it feels good to get things off my chest.

Since I'm back again, beauty and makeup posts are coming your way InshAllah. Let me know exactly what you want to see from me and i'll gladly do it.
Feel free to follow me on all my social media aaaaaand that's it!

See you soon my lovies x
