About Me

Salam Alaikuum.. Welcome to my Blog :) My name is Lina-Spahic, I am Originally Indonesian and currently living in Bosnia Herzegovina.

I'm not great in particularly at anything, but i'm HAPPY just being me :) In this blog I hope to share Tips and thoughts on Beauty and Fashion and Especially for Hijabis. I will write review about things i would wear and it look nice on me, what i bought and i have tried, and what i will buy and give my view to you out there.

NATURAL BEAUTY - MAKE UP TREND FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2012

Natural beauty was featured all over spring/summer 2012 collection of so many designers & magazine this year. Much of this look focused on a FLAWLESS complexion which i love.. or faking it until you make it with the right cosmetics.


This type brings out the beauty in simplicity. It's like "Hey i'm not wearing make up, but i'm flawless" look.
A natural looking make up doesn't require a lot of products and techniques. A key tip in achieving this look is by having a good skin care routine, like moisturizing and exfoliating your face. If you are looking for a great facial wash for exfoliating, i would recommend "Clean & Clear EXFOLIATING daily wash". Honestly i really love this product, and i am currently using it. And i believe you can find it very easy in drugstore or pharmacy


My favorite make up for this dewy flawless finish is by applying my favorite foundation studio sculpt from MAC. This foundation provides a smooth full coverage dewy natural look. I am using this foundation in shade NC25. So if you have same skin color like me, you can try this shade. Unfortunately there is no MAC in Bosnia, so i have to always order it from a friend :/


Next, you can apply concealer if you need to cover acne scars or discoloration on your face.
What i love about this look is the skipping of eye shadow.. I personally didn't like wearing eye shadow as it might look that you are having so much make up all over your face.
However, Applying mascara is an optional for this look. I'm type of person who can't live without my mascara and eye liner, so i would still apply mascara and tiny eye liner on my lid.
Yeaayy.. Fresh, natural, and effortless for spring and summer !!

Get ready for spring time with these amazing make up trends. Let your natural beauty shine this season ;)

IT'S SPRING !!! SAY NO TO BLACK !!!


I have major confession to make, i have been wearing too much black ! I think my coat, tunics, scarf, and boot from winter take over the fashion sense. Last week i was on a mission to find nice shoes and tops for spring, and i wanted something different. My friend's eyes catch 1 beautiful spring shoes and she forced me to get a pair of it. Honestly it was a great shoes and a great choice. BUTTT i have gone mad wearing black ! Today i realize i have so many black and grey color in my wardrobe !
So what is it about black that makes it so easy to run to when we don't want to think about fashion.

1. It matches everything
2. It's slimming
3. It's sleek and sophisticated
4. Black flare pants/legging looks best
5. Black is CHIC !!

Even though many of my excuse may be true, now is Spring.. and wearing black just looks heavy while colorful flowers are blooming and the sun is warming up the sky.

My simple step to change

1. I took the first step of eliminating anything black in my wardrobe that i absolutely wasn't absolutely loving anymore or was worn out.
2. It's definitely time to pull out some colorful fabric and sew up a sweet dress and a new top in a beautiful colors of course
3. Begin to wear my jewelry and accessories more to inspire and spice things up













If wearing black is inevitable, pair it with colors and bright neutral like taupe, tan, white, and light grey. also toss a pattern in the mix. Wearing black with basics and also black scarf can seriously be boring.
