Olive & Castor Bean Cleansing Milk Dhs145 Shirley Conlon Organics I use this face wash daily as it’s super gentle and leaves my skin feeling really so and smells great. Shirley Conlon is based in Dubai so it’s an added bonus to be supporting a local, femaleowned business. Hyaluron Filler Night Peeling & Serum Dhs190 Eucerin I use this every night a er a toner, applying a thin layer and it both peels and moisturizes. It leaves my skin super so and still glowing in the morning. I can definitely tell the di erence a er using it regularly now. Eucalyptus Deodorant Dhs69 MALIN + GOETZ We carry MALIN + GOETZ at the studio and I love all of their products. I’ve heard many theories on the negative e ects of deodorant, but I need something that will do the job with the amount of running around I’m doing! I love that this deodorant is free from things like aluminum, alcohol and is also cruelty-free. It leaves my skin so and smelling great.

BadGal Mascara Dhs130 Benefit Cosmetics I don’t wear a lot of makeup, especially when I am teaching so mascara is key. I used to get extensions but found it hard to maintain and time consuming. This mascara is volumising and lengthening.

Eye Cream Dhs100 Mad Hippie On makeup free days I love to use this eye cream to help reduce pu ness, keep me looking fresh and prevents wrinkles. Brow Definer Dhs116 Anastasia Beverly Hills My brows are microbladed, but when I want to add more definition, I find this pencil ideal. Super easy to use and blends well. Nourishing Shampoo 0.6 Dhs170 Grown Alchemist Shampoo I have been highlighting my hair regularly for years, so I need a little extra TLC. I love that this brand is clean and natural, as well as working to repair hair weakened by chemical processes and heat styling that I’ve put my hair through. It leaves my hair feeling hydrated and looking shiny. Skin Feels Good Skin Tint Dhs175 Lancôme I find this foundation really light weight and moisturizing. I hate the heavy makeup feeling and this foundation allows my skin to still breathe as well as evening out my skin tone. Dry Shampoo Dhs50 Batiste Working out every day but not wanting to wash my hair every day, it’s a good alternative. I was actually a bit late to the dry shampoo game, but now I’m hooked. Ash Toner Dhs120 Balmain I try to use this once a week, spray and leave it in post shower when my hair is damp. I’m all about the ash blonde tone so to avoid brassy, yellowness this purple spray is magic.
