About Me

My name is Saima and welcome to my bubble! "Why bubble?" you might ask. If you look the word up in the dictionary, the definition would be "a nearly spherical body of gas contained in a liquid." As you can probably tell, this blog is dedicated to the body of beauty. Like most vain women in this world, I adore makeup, skincare, hair care, and all high tech gizmos & gadgets that make us look fabulous and claim to help us "reclaim" our youth.

I started in this crazy multi-billion dollar industry at the age of 18

as a makeup artist with Lancome and was not exactly sure at the time where my passion would lead me. Well, like every other responsible adolescent, it lead me directly to college in hopes of finding a real job. After receiving my English degree and two babies later, i decided to try my hand in the industry of beauty yet again.

With a strong vision and lots of planning, i opened my first

business, Glow Salon & Med Spa (www.liveloveglow.com) outside of Dallas, TX in 2006.

I love being immersed in an industry filled with such creative, inspiring, interesting people. I'm hoping to use this blog as a source for people all over the world who need advice about beauty with a touch of humor and pinch of love. The most beautiful view will hopefully be the one i share with you.

Lash Out - Perfect Flirty Lashes!

One question that i am frequently asked is "Are your lashes fake?" The answer, of course, is no. Just good genes....and good mascara. I have tried countless brands to see which ones were the best. Grocery Brands. Department Store Brands. Online Brands. Trade Show Brands. Anything that promises fuller, thicker lashes seems to suck most women in mysteriously like Frodo Baggins to "The Ring." It is definitely important to note that since lashes vary from woman to woman, it is difficult to find one that fits perfect for everyone. Here is a short list of ten mascara brands that i thought were pretty good. If you have tried any of these and would like to give me some feedback, please feel free to do so. If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask, dolls. Your lashes will thank me for it!

1. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara - "THE WINNER"

L'Oreal's Mascara claims to create lightweight lashes and that it contains panthnol and ceramide-R that condition lashes. This is the mascara i would take if i was stranded on a deserted island. Well, along with soap, razors and a man, of course. I stumbled upon this one at Target and instantly fell in love. It comes in the standard shades, black being the most popular, of course, and also in one my most favorite color called "carbon black." It goes on smoothly and clump-free and i especially love using the curved brush to help curl my lashes, killing two birds in one stone.
