Here are some photos of the Makeup by Mario products. So far, I really like the highlighter and contour stick.

Since it's my birthday month, I also got this year's birthday gift: NARS Laguna Bronzer Set featuring a cream bronzer and powder bronzer.

Fall Soft Glam Makeup Tutorial 2021

I honestly didn’t think I would be creating content again but I decided to make a quick pumpkin pie video on TikTok few days ago and realized that I actually missed it. I think the pandemic really got to me and I’m sure it has all affected us in some way. I worked from home and I was mostly in sweatpants and t-shirt. I didn’t have the motivation to film videos or even to do my makeup. I posted stories on Instagram and Snapchat but that’s about it. However, I now feel ready to be posting photos and videos again. I did have to get used to the new updates of my software program and I'm still working on my filming setup.

Here's a quick fall makeup tutorial featuring Huda Beauty Naughty Eyeshadow Palette. Hope you guys like it! :)

    Ramadan Vlog 2020


    Happy Friday! I've been wanting to post this Ramadan prep vlog since the beginning but I got so busy during Ramadan and finally finished editing it today! I'm still shocked that there are less than 10 days left! It passed by so fast! 

     If you're still looking to donate, I would recommend checking out Penny Appeal! They donate 100% of your zakat to those in need.
