Huda Beauty Liquid Matte

When I heard the hype of the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipsticks I knew I had to try them. For someone who has dry lips, matte lipsticks don't always work for me, but I absolutely love the matte lips look.

The Estee Edit Review

 

When I found out that I was going to be receiving The Estee Edit VoxBox from Influenster I was super excited, I mean, who wouldn't be excited to try out these products! I made sure I had plenty of time to try out these products before I wrote the review, which I feel makes for a better review. Which is my favorite? Read below to find out.

Summer Outfit Lookbook

A few months ago I posted my Spring Outfit Lookbook, and I decided to go ahead and do one for summer (although its way late, I know). Summer has been super busy for me, but I'm finally getting back into the routine of blogging frequently.

Below is a list of several types of items that I find myself reaching for over and over during the summertime.

Annah Hariri- Wrap Dress

 

This gorgeous dress in by the one and only Annah Hariri

 Annah Hariri creates absolutely beautiful dresses, skirts, and abayas. Every item is modest and hijabi friendly- since it is all designed by a hijabi (Annah Hariri).

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor Review

 

 

So on one of my recent Instagram posts (@Amodernhijabi) I posted a photo with several lip products to be reviewed on the blog- this is the first of those product reviews, and the rest will be coming soon.

 

If your like me and have dry lips pretty much year round, then you know how hard it can be to find a good matte lip product. I recently came across the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolors and I was surprised just how well they worked for me.  

The Hijab City- Rock Style Jersey Hijab

 

 

Awhile back I shared a post on the Swarvoski Inititals Jersey Hijab from The Hijab City. The hijab shown here is the Rock Style Jersey Hijab, which is another Limited Edition hijab from The Hijab City.

My Current Everyday Lip Combo

 

 

 

Lately I have been loving this new lip combo, and it's been my go-to lip color recently. I decided to do a quick review of the products and why it is that I love them.

D.I.R. Fashion- Desert Utility Dress

If you remember awhile back I posted an outfit wearing the Olive Utility Dress from DIR Fashion - well they recently released this gorgeous new color!! This Desert Utility Dress is the perfect color year round. One of my favorite things about these dresses is

The Hijab City- Swarovski Initials Jersey Hijab

 

 

 Warmer weather is in full swing here in Texas, and that means its time to break out all the summer clothes.

 

I'm wearing the Swarovski Initial Jersey Hijab from The Hijab City

That's right, you can get these hijabs customized to include your initials- how cool is that!? I went with this perfect nude color jersey hijab, but they also have a variety of other color choices, plus viscose hijabs you can get initialed.

 

I've included a close up of the initial detailing down below.

The Hijab Vault- Black Pearl & Chain Hijab

 

In one of my last blog posts I was wearing a hijab from The Hijab Vault's new collection.
 

Another one of the new collection hijabs is this Black Pearl & Chain Hijab. I absolutely love my black hijabs (doesn't everyone), but I get really excited when I find some with extra details, such as the pearl and chain edge!

Spring Outfit Lookbook

Key items every Spring Wardrobe needs for 2016

 

Since warmer weather is upon us I decided to do a Spring Lookbook showcasing some of what I consider to be my "Spring Necessities"

Revlon Colorburst Lip Balms- Review and Comparison

 

 

Since we have been having tons of rain here lately, and I haven't been able to take new outfit photos thanks to the rain, I decided to do a beauty review for today's blog post.

 

 

Revlon creates three different types of Colorburst lip balms and I wanted to do a quick comparison of the three.

 

The Hijab City- Cinnamon Pearl Hijab

The Hijab City is a fairly new online hijab store that sells the cutest hijabs. They have this pearl hijab I'm wearing here available in multiple colors, as well as plain hijabs, printed scarves, crinkle scarves and more! They carry magnetic hijab pins, many in the shapes of flowers (which I love, obviously), and they have other accessories too.

Xo Maxi Boutique- Rose Chic Peplum Maxi Dress

 

 

This color combination right here is one of my favorites for transitioning from Winter to Spring. Of course I had to wear a floral hijab with the outfit since its Spring now, ok fine, I wear floral hijabs all year long.

Modest Lily- Lily of the Nile Dress

 
 

Spring is finally here, and that means its time to start wearing whites, florals, and bright colors! This Lily of the Nile Dress by Modest Lily is the perfect springtime dress.

Xo Maxi Boutique- Chic Peplum Maxi Dress

 

 

You can never have too many black dresses- ever. Who agrees with me? They are essentials in my wardrobe.

 

I'm wearing the Chic Peplum Maxi Dress from Xo Maxi Boutique (also available in a dusty pink color which I will be showing in an upcoming blog post).

 

 

Modest Lily- Sweet Romance Top

 

 

  

This Sweet Romance Top from Modest Lily is the perfect top for spring (and for this unusually warm winter). Since its such a light color and the material isn't too thick I think it will be great to wear in the summer as well. In my opinion the length of this top is just right.

My Batua- Haneefa Jersey Cardigan

 
 

This Haneefa Jersey Cardigan is the perfect throw over cardigan. Its great for weekends, running errands, or when you just want to be comfortable.

Xo Maxi Boutique- Pencil Maxi Skirt

 

 

One of my favorite looks for winter is a long coat with a pencil skirt worn underneath. I have eagerly been awaiting the colder weather so I could wear my coats- and now I finally can!

 I am wearing the XO Pencil Maxi Skirt by Xo Maxi Boutique.

DIR Fashion- Olive Utility Maxi Dress

 

As many of you know by now, I love pieces that are multifunctional. That is probably why I absolutely love this olive utility dress by DIR Fashion.

Striving For Modesty- Stripe Shrug

 

 

This stripe shrug from Striving For Modesty is the perfect piece to compliment just about any outfit. It can be worn with a casual everyday outfit, or you can choose to dress it up. 

Ahfif- Sleveless Vest and Gingham

 

 

Lately I have been loving sleeveless trench coats and sleeveless vests (this ones from Ahfif). It's probably because its still not very cold here, and with the sleeveless vests I can wear just about any long sleeve shirt underneath and still be warm.

Xo Maxi Boutique- Polka Dot CeCe Maxi Dress

I absolutely love polka dots, and as soon as I saw this CeCe Maxe Dress from Xo Maxi Boutique I immediately fell in love with it. XO Maxi Boutique is an online shop that sells the cutest maxi dresses and maxi skirts. They even have plus sizes available, and they ship worldwide.

Striving For Modesty- Lace Kimono

 

 

Kimonos have to be one of my current favorite articles of clothing, and I am obsessed with lace. This lace kimono from Striving For Modesty is both! The front of the kimono has a gorgeous floral pattern throughout the lace (you can see the detailing in some of the photos below).

Elle-Vation Lavely Lace Hijab

In my opinion  black, white, and pale pink is one of the greatest color combos ever. As soon as I saw this Lovely Lace Hijab in Pearl by Ellevation I knew I wanted to wear it with a black and white outfit.

Striving For Modesty- Enchanted Maxi Skirt

Winter has arrived! I can officially begin wearing my boots without looking weird. You have no idea how long I have been waiting to wear them on a daily basis.

 

I know I mentioned before that my favorite colors for fall and winter are mustard, olive, and marsala (maroon). Which is why this Enchanted Maxi Skirt from Striving For Modesty has been one of my go to skirts lately.

Shabby Apple

 
 

 This is probably going to be one of my last "warmer weather" posts for awhile, since it finally got cold here- yay! I live in Central Texas, and weather is crazy here, so we will see if it actually stays cold (I'm hoping that it does though). On another note, I have realized whats been missing from my wardrobe lately- COLOR!

This dress is from Shabby Apple, which is an online store that sells the cutest vintage inspired clothing. This dress is called the Micha Dress-  and its currently on sale!
