Hello gals!

Today, we're talking about the lovely Holiday Workshop we attended hosted at Bahrain City Center branch of L'Occitane. Media Circuit did the event management and were spot on fun as always.

Asalamualaikum Ladies!

How's summer going? Most importantly how was everyone's weekend? Well mine was nothing special and I'm still missing Omaimah she had to travel back for college *cries* :( Each member of the family is just so special it feels like a huge chunk is missing if one person is away for any length of time! Anywho, lets get to reviewing shall we?!

What are we reviewing today?
We'll be giving you a short review about a product we've been using for a while now - *dan dan dannn* The Clinique liquid facial soap for Oily Skin , as for me (Areesha) I have dry skin and Omaimah has combination to dry skin so it wasn't really perfect for us but our mum tried it as well it was her gift after all. So we'll be writing her experience.


What they claim?
Soft, non-drying lather cleans gently, rinses easily. Helps remove the stress of pollution so skin looks younger, longer. Clinically formulated cleansing—that's how great skin starts. This dermatologist-developed Facial Soap maintains protective lipids and loosens surface flakes to leave skin clean, comfortable, and refreshed—never taut or dry. It rinses away easily and prepares skin perfectly for the exfoliating action of Clarifying Lotion. A convenient pump dispenser provides just the right amount of product. 

Instructions:
Take a pea sized drop of the face wash and leather between your hands and smear it all over your face. Rinse with water and pat your skin dry.

Packaging:
It comes in a 200ml pump dispenser bottle.

Review:
So, it says its recommended for Oily skin as it helps in preventing it First thing I felt about it is that it doesn't have a strong scent. It's very mild does not give any sort of tingling feeling after use but skin does feel cleansed , refreshed and clean after using it. Does not produce lather or foam much probably because of the oil fighting agents in it or maybe because its mild enough to not have chemicals that cause foam to be formed. Lastly, I love the fact that it doesn't leave the skin completely dried

Availability: It is available easily at all Clinique stalls , ours is from the one in Paris Gallery , ground floor of City Centre.

Today , I'm very happily reviewing a product that has become my favorite really quickly and you'll have to scroll below to find out why!

We're writing this post to update you all about an awesome beauty workshop that me and mum attended recently! We (Bahrain audience) might be lucky enough to have a few more coming up so it's important for you to know the instructor and the class.

Let's begin, this lovely evening began right after work when I rushed to the workshop just in time for the last session by Ms. Manal , there were three sessions that were held that day. The main focus of the workshop was Skincare and its importance.

Why is it important to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as when to start taking care of your skin, when we should start using anti aging products. Which sunscreen suits which skin type due to the pigmentation of our skin and depending on how much melanoma is in it. Various other skin related issues were addressed.

Towards the end once Manal had explained everything, she let the guests listen to a few testimonials , I (Areesha) also gave a testimonial as I really love their day to night cream in Aloe Vera , it's moisturizer my skin in the long term and I had a really positive experience so I had to share it with everyone attending. Ms Alona at the end of my testimonial very kindly gave me a gift box which I'll post towards the end of my post.

Some other random shots I took at the workshop hehe , you can see them below:

The bite size snacks were from Le Chocolat and were delicious to say the least, I'm craving them all again!

Yummiest Cheesecake!

That's our awesome mum while we were waiting for our turn with Ms. Manal for consultation & recommendations on products we should use to improve our skin. She was honestly so helpful I can not compliment her enough MashaAllah one of the sweetest people I've met like in the first time she made us feel like she's known us for years! She had such a beautiful personality inside out.

Below pictured is the team who had hosted her and the lovely Bottega Verde staff. Once again we thank Ms. Bharti and Ms. Alona for inviting us to the workshop,we got to learn some basics that we weren't aware of earlier and so much more! It was an evening well spent. Will keep you all posted about future workshops by them.

Mum got the below goodies and the silver box is what was very sweetly gifted to me by the Bottega Verde staff! We shall post the contents of the goodie box and gift in the next post, So stay tuned!

Packaging: 
The packaging of the box is beautiful color wise as well as how the design co-ordinates to the perfume bottle as you will see when you scroll down. The bottle's top is easy to remove and is quite tight, therefore travel friendly.

The Box.

The Cap.

Did we mention: Love the bottle!

Bottle Packaging:
The bottle of the perfume as you can see is intricately designed which gives it an almost royal look , it would definitely be a beautiful addition to anyone's collection

The majestic bottle.

They had a yummy Starbucks breakfast table set up for the media guests which was perfect for a winter morning everything anyone would like to eat was available well thought out and delicious!
