"Fantasy Florals" Eye Makeup Art

Bonjour mes belles! It's "Fantasy-Friday" and today's quick look is all about the Funky Florals!

I really want to start featuring more makeup art with a focus on creative & conceptual eye looks, so this one is sort of a warm up. Let me know what you think about this idea and feel free to share your creations and inspirations on my Facebook & Instagram pages :)

Maryam's Summer Beauty Hits!

Salut mes amis & Happy Monday! Today's post is the first of its kind, presenting my summer hits aka some of my current beauty obsessions. As a beauty blogger, I receive a lot of stuff to review, so I figured this would be a good way to introduce you to new products and review some of my favorites. I'll try to include at least one product in every category: cosmetics, skin care, hair and nails; and if you like this type of post, I'll be happy to start a monthly feature. Let me know your thoughts!

As most of my regular readers know, I hardly ever wear green eyeshadow, but I love to experiment and try everything -- even if it's uncomfortable or quirky -- so today is that day!

UniKorn WinKers
