Keeping Up with the Kardashians FAKE??

Is the show Fake or not? That's the mystifying question..
The debate goes on whether Keeping up with the Kardashians is staged or not. I'll be quite honest I do keep up with the Kardashians. 
I was quite disappointed with how the show portrayed Dubai. And the show didn't air according to her exact itinerary and schedule. Kim had dinner in Nobu the first day she arrived, she then had the Millions of Milkshake Press and interviews. Then came the Millions of Milkshake launch at the Dubai Mall, and last was the Sephora appearance  and the AbuDhabi dinner which she didn't even film! 
She also went on a shopping spree at the Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping mall which has over 1,200 stores such as, Bloomingdales, Galleries Lafayette, Christian Louboutin, Chanel, Dior, Oscar De La Renta and many high end brands, along with an Ice rink, Aquarium, water zoo and much much more..
Instead she filmed her visit to a very old district in Dubai the Gold Souk!!!She got paid Millions of Dollars for a 20 min episode!!

But the thing that caught my eye is the last scene she "supposedly" had in Dubai discussing her marital problems with her mom when heading back to the Air port. The thing is, the windows where all tinted black and you can't see a thing! Her mom's reaction was cold and not genuine. She was actually smiling and didn't seem shocked!
Any how a lot of bloggers are claiming that the scene was staged. Fact is, it was actually filmed in LA on Dec. 6, 2 months after Kim filed for divorce yet claiming the scene was filmed in Dubai.

Here's the proof:

Beauty Blender PURE Review

Recently my beloved sister got engaged and we were all busy preparing for her engagement party. That somehow explains my absence.
Her engagement took place on Friday the 13th and it was amazing, she might be the most stunning bride I ever laid eyes on, and words can't describe how happy I am for her.

Moving on to the subject, I have purchased the Beauty Blender PURE kit around a month ago and tried it a couple of times, I have both negative and positive reviews about this product and since I'm more of a negative person I'll start off with the negative :)




The set contains one Beauty Blender Pure sponge, a Solid cleanser, and an Air.port make-up pouch.

Review:
The reason the sponge is named Pure is because it's white and colorless. It's said to be the same exact sponge except for the color. I've used the sponge several times now and I'm not really pleased with it. It doesn't function as the pink sponge does and the texture is different. I found it a tad annoying since it absorbs more product and doesn't blend immaculately as the pink sponge!
Another thing, the texture of the pure sponge is smoother compared to the pink sponge which has more of  a rough texture! The rough texture is the reason the pink sponge blends better.
The Beauty Blender website suggests using this sponge to blend you primer and moisturize. Let's face it why would I spend all this money on a sponge when I can easily blender my primer and moisturize using my finger tips or any brush!

Would I buy this sponge again: NO  

Moving on to the Cleanser and pouch. The pouch came in handy when I traveled, it kept my beauty blender in shape and the mesh pouch allows air to pass allowing my beautiful pink beauty blender to dry and breathe :D

I saved the best for the last. The solid cleanser is the best product in this kit. I Love Love Love this product. The travel friendly cleanser is way better than the liquid one, a little goes a long way and it cleanses the sponge much better. I wish they'd replace the liquid cleanser with the solid or at least give us the option of choosing or even selling it individually.

Would I buy the pouch and solid cleanser again: YES





After using the Soild Cleanser:



Hope you found this review helpful :)

You can purchase your Beauty Blender from Beauty Blender DXB visit their Blog or Facebook page for more details.


Update: Seems like all the new beauty blenders, Pure and the pink ones have this new soft texture which I'm really hating!! I recently changed my worn out beauty blender and discovered that all the new ones share the same texture!! I'm extremely annoyed for it's hard to work with because of it's extremely soft texture!!
