Starbucks Review: Does it always taste the same?
When traveling, one of the first places I usually go to is Starbucks. The main reasons being; I must have my daily dose of caffeine, it's located conveniently in most countries, and it's something familiar when you're away from home.
But the problem I have with Starbucks is its unpredictability. No matter what Starbucks I go to in Kuwait, I know my drink will be made in the exact same way every time, regardless of what branch. Unfortunately, that is not the case in other countries. You could visit the same Starbucks branch a few times a week, and every drink you receive will taste different. Either there is more/less syrup or different amounts of coffee put into your drink.
Last and not least, I've noticed the ingredients differ from country to country. In Kuwait, flavourings all come in syrups and although other countries have fresh(er) ingredients, I think the prices of coffee in Kuwait are amongst the highest.
Whats your experience with Starbucks in Kuwait & foreign countries?

Toms Shoes: For Men
So I was out shopping a few days ago, and came across these new Toms shoes for men. The reason why I like them so much is because I don't think the regular Toms look very flattering on men, as they are a tad bit feminine. I think Toms have done a wonderful job with their new line of mens shoes. They look great, I love the laces, they still have a hint of the regular shape that all the Toms shoes have, and they're just as light as the regular Toms as well.

Topshop: Mascara Review
Recently went on the hunt for the perfect mascara, and since my old one ran out I thought it was about time I tried out a new one from a different brand. So I came across Topshops line of makeup products, and although I wouldn't usually buy makeup from non-specialist shops, I said what the heck.
So as far as the consistency of the liquid goes I would give it a 9/10. It lasts long and is not too thick. It also comes in a range of colours which all apply the same.
The wand is where problems begin to arise :), and I blame this on the fact that Topshop doesn't specialise in makeup, and therefore is bound to fall short on key aspects of producing makeup. The bristles end up clumping together after a few uses, which completely defeats the point of thickening your eyelashes.
The only solution I can find to making this Topshop mascara work is if you use a different wand when applying, that is if you really like the rest of the product that much.
My rating out of 10?
6/10.
Over and out.

Review: Soap and Glory
I went all out when I thought I should try some new every day products. Frankly, the packaging of Soap & Glory is amazing, and I have to admit (guilty) I was drawn to the packaging before the actual products. These are the things I tried:

Best facial wash I tried so far |

This scrub is so gentle and not harsh on the skin |

It was ok, Neutrogena wipes are better |

The smell is amazing! |
