OMAR BORKAN AL GALA – THE MAN THAT WAS TOO HANDSOME FOR SAUDI ARABIA

I’m sure you’ve heard about the man who was too handsome for Saudi Arabia. Not?

Apparently there were three men ejected from Saudi Arabia by the religious police for being too handsome. And so far, one has been revealed. His name is Omar. They were quickly deported to Abu Dhabi, because the religious police said that these men would cause a problem amongst female visitors.

Omar is an actor, poet and photographer. I’m sure with all this hooha about him, he will be adding model to his CV.

Apparently an incident occurred when he attended the Riyadh annual Janadriyah festival and attracted the attention of a female Emirati artist. The other two unnamed or unseen men were also there, as they were “presenting” the UAE at the festival.

Basically, the Saudi’s feel that in a strict Sunni Muslim community a woman may not socialize with a man who’s not her relative.

Follow Omar on his Facebook page: Omar Borkan Al Gala FACEBOOK

So what are your thoughts on this? I think that they should have just left it, because now they just gave him more attention. Now they can expect even more female visitors in Saudi Arabia for a game of “spot the hottie”! Maybe this is all just a very clever way of making this actor even more famous? Who’s his manager? :)

Unborn Baby Entered into a Beauty Pageant

Hiya Poutlings!

It’s never too early to start preparing your child to be a beauty queen…. at least, that is what mum-to-be Jenny Oliver thinks.

Crazy pageant mother in question - Jenny Oliver from Blackpool, UK.

Crazy pageant mother in question – Jenny Oliver from Blackpool, UK.

At seven months pregnant, she’s already entered her unborn daughter, tentatively named “Ella” into her first Bonnie Baby pageant.

“With my dance skills and her sister Jess’s knowledge of pageants, there’s no way she won’t win the prize for bonniest baby… It was only a tenner to enter her and I believe you should start them young. Ella will do so much better in life with all that experience under her belt… She’s only going to be three months old but she’ll have a bit of fun on the day… Walking down the catwalk with my gorgeous baby will make me feel a million dollars – even though I’ll still be carrying my baby weight and wearing baggy clothes. I hope she wins – it would be fab to have a baby sash and crown to add to the collection. I have so much planned for her.”

Can we just stop for a minute? Goodness. I feel stressed reading that. What about you? THIS POOR CHILD DOESN’T EVEN EXIST YET. I suppose they will start fitting her for a “flipper” the moment after her first feeding.

I have so many questions when reading this:

1. What if she doesn’t arrive on her due date.

2. What if her skin doesn’t take to spray tans well?

3. What if she doesn’t look good in nappies?

4. What if Ella is a boy?

There are too many unanswered questions here, and I feel stressed for a life that is even yet to live. What the hell is happening with the world?

It is worrying enough seeing toddlers dressed up in pink frills, covered in makeup and encouraged to be swoon-worthy in front of judges at teeny beauty pageants but its positively scary to think unborn babies are being lined up for a childhood spent being judged on how they look.

I rest my case.

New Products – OFRA Cosmetics

Hi Poutling

I trust that you are still doing wonderfully awesome :)

As most of you will remember I did a post on OFRA Cosmetic’s not to long ago

to refresh your memory here is the Link:  http://poutperfection.com/2013/04/13/ofra-cosmetics-2/

So as much as I was inlove with this brand when i did this post I AM still just as inlove, if not even more.

OFFRA has added some new, amazing products to their range,

I’m sure you are all dying to find out more about them, so here goes.

Corrector Tri-pot in Ethnic colors

ETHNIC_TRIPOT“Specialized products used to soften discolorations, cover blemishes and hide imperfections. It is lightweight, non-drying and compatible with all skin types. Provides excellent coverage to all parts of face and body with no irritants.   Especially suitable for under the eye area, giving great coverage for dark rings, or covering red patches, couperose, spider veins, pigmentation, acne or birth marks”

Why using a Corrector is important:

If you are anything like me when it comes to makeup, you too are a little bit OCD about tiny imperfections on your skin and therefore corrector is your best friend, This baby not only helps you be “photo ready” but also hides all those tiny blemishes you don’t want showing, this is definitely one of my favorite products, especially when doing makeup on brides for their special day.

Eye Shadow in Gold Rush and Envious 

“Ofra Cosmetics eye shadow is a pressed powder with strong pigment for that long lasting effect. The eye shadow can be applied with an eye-shadow brush wet or dry. Contains natural sun filters and comes in a selection of earthly natural colours, matte and shimmer suitable for all skin types”

R168-43

R168-43

Eye Shadow use

Most of the time when doing my own make-up I absolutely love doing a natural look but with a slight twist to brow attention certain areas of my eye that i think deserves it ;)

And what better way then to create a natural “Smokey eye” but playing around with your wing color and how amazingly awesome do these two new colors from OFRA go together

R168-43

Eye Liner in Ever Green 

“Ofra Cosmetics Eye Liner Pencils are high quality, easy to sharpen and fabulous to apply. These water resistant pencils are suitable for the most sensitive eyes. Created with beeswax for an unbelievably smooth, soft and long lasting application”

I <3 EYELINER

Being a makeup artist as well as someone within the “Alternative scene” I am a complete eyeliner Whore ,

R97-66

R97-66

I don’t always have time to do a full face make-up but I definitely cannot leave the house without my eyeliner and Mascara, we all love the black eyeliner look but not all of us wear it well (Sad but true) but YAY for us because OFRA has eyeliner in AMAZING colors, and as read above the newest to the list is their Ever Green pencil,

With eyeliner adding that mysterious look to any eye how about trying out something different then the normal brown and black, be bold and go green (see what i did there ;) ) Everyone will be envious of the way you wear  your liner and n better time to tone it down a bit during the winter months.

You can never have eyeliner without Mascara as I mentioned i never leave the house without either and what better way to finish off the perfect envious OFRA winter look than with the new OFRA  Keratin Mascara.

Whats not to love about this product, not only is it suitable for the most sensitive eyes but it ALSO contains Keratin to help thicken, Lengthen and curl the lashes, come on this is every woman’s dream when it comes to Mascara, who doesn’t want longer more amazing lashes?

“This will be the best mascara you have every used. OFRA’s exclusive brush technology and consistency enables fantastic application. OFRA Mascaras are water resistance, non-flaking, safe for contact lens wearers and contains the natural sun filter Titanium Dioxide”

R222-90

R222-90

Lipsticks in Electric Blue, Fuchsia and Purple Haze 

“Ofra Cosmetics lipsticks, are hypoallergenic and contain moisturizing ingredients and are very soft to apply.
They are long lasting and consist of Lanolin Oil, Castor Oil and Caprylic-capric Trigliceride which gives the moisturizing properties to this amazing product. Titanium Dioxide gives a natural sun filter by reflecting the sun’s rays.
The Aloe Vera in the lipsticks, soothes calms and heals the lips, whilst the Vitamin E assists with regeneration of cells, healing and sun protection. For a longer lasting effect, add our brilliant lip sealer”

Lipstick

No one can tell me they aren’t as in love with this brand as I am, seriously whats not to love? Not only are they cruelty free but they have amazing products and also take your skin well being into consideration.

Now go on and get your hand on the New OFRA products, be bold and add some color to your dull winter!

Please share your OFRA look with us once you’ve tried them out!

Essence – New Products

Morning Poutlings,

I’m sure the majority of you have seen the name or brand at some point and are either using some of the products or you find yourself staring when you walk past it.

As someone who tries to not wear make-up on a regular basis and of course being a make-up artist still fighting my way to the top I love Essence, here is why:

1. They are affordable 

2. They cater for everyone’s needs when it comes to cosmetic’s 

3. Easy to come by

4. Their products are of good quality

5. IT SPARKLES!!!!! 

I’ll stop at that for now ;)

In all honesty I can’t really think of a bad thing to say about this brand, the only thing however that does get to me a little is that SOME of their  eye shadows don’t show up as bright as I would like them to on white skins but even for that I cannot give them a bad crit because they Have the essence colour arts pigments range and yes it works, and not only do you have to stop at using it for eye shadow but you can also use it on your lips and nails
