About Us

A little about us and who we are;

Mariyam

From a young age, I’ve had a natural flair for fashion. I’ve always been interested in different types of clothing and styling unique pieces together. Even though I'm a Pharmaceutical Graduate, my heart lies in fashion and there’s nothing more I have a passion for.

I believe confidence comes from within, but when you’re rocking a fierce outfit, nothing can beat that feeling of knowing you look like the business! So after having an Instagram account and doing the odd OOTD post, I started to get more and more questions about my personal style. Fast forward a few more OOTD’s, I started getting a lot more requests from you lovely ladies to create my own blog. So here I am, finally doing something which I LOVE. Through this blog I am going to show you girls how you don’t need to be drowned in designer labels to look good. Although it’s nice to own the latest designer items, it’s not something which defines “style”. Style isn’t about how expensive your bag is and what make your jeans are, style is about having the ability to pull off a £10 top and to still turn heads.

With fashion being such a competitive industry and bloggers wearing the most expensive, high end items in every post, it’s very hard for girls who may not be able to afford it to keep up. This is one of the main reasons why I decided to blog, to show you girls that it doesn’t cost a bomb to look good. The fashion industry is expanding at a ridiculous rate and the blogging world is becoming crazy competitive. So whilst I know it’ll be hard, I still believe we have a space for bloggers who “keep it real”. Therefore, I have created this along with my Instagram with Iman, to share my love for fashion and personal style with you, but without the heavy price tags.

Growing up, I would always watch my mum do her makeup, then when she wasn't there I would sneak in and try to imitate her. This I guess, is where my love for makeup began and over the years became a passion. Another thing which fascinated me about my mum was her amazing skin. My mum would always try out different oils and different home remedies for her skin. As the years progressed, this is something I became interested in so I take a lot of time into researching home remedies and natural products which help my skin.

I believe that everyone is beautiful, with or without makeup, but the thing about makeup for me, is that it should be used to ENHANCE your beauty, not to completely mask your natural beauty. This is why I started this blog with Mariyam, because we are just normal girls who want to help other girls to be comfortable in their own skin. You don’t need to look like Kim Kardashian to be considered beautiful, being YOU is enough.

Like Mariyam mentioned, in this era of social media and selfies, it’s hard for girls to be confident within their skin as society has a set image of what beautiful is. So if we can help even one girl overcome this and feel confident within herself, I believe we have achieved what we set out to do.

Our blog doesn't aim to show off designer makeup and clothes, our blog is here to show you it’s okay to be you, and it's okay to be normal. So, I will be bringing you makeup tutorials, home remedies and different products which will have been tried and tested by myself.

Being in the beauty industry as a model and a makeup artist has taught me a lot. I have had some amazing experiences and enjoyed myself, but on the other hand it has also given me an insight of how competitive the industry actually is. Gaining recognition within this industry is extremely hard due to the number of makeup artists out there, but I believe working hard can help you progress, overcome and achieve anything you desire. So be you, embrace yourself and be confident within your own skin!
