Simply the Best: The 7th Annual VIVA Beauty Awards Winners

VIVABeautyAwards

We love makeup! Personally I get to experiment loads of beauty products all the time. Sometimes it gets overwhelming to judge the result of a certain product, and the whole thing gets mixed together with other products, let it be makeup or skin care, doesn’t it? Well, a little help every now and then is nothing but a bonus. That’s why I look for the VIVA Beauty Awards every year.

A bunch of bloggers were invited for dinner with Viva Telecom and a ‘special guest’ not to be missed! As per what the invitation said! The dinner was held at Upper Crust Pizzeria located at The Village, Abulhasaniya; we headed there full of curiosity!

We get there, and to our surprise, the special guest is Fahad Al-Butairi! The star of the famous YouTube show “La Yekthar“! He introduced himself and cracked some jokes, then we started the yummies.

During dinner, Viva extended our invitations to the next day’s ‘Comedy Night’ taking place at guest, for which Fahad and his crew were here all the way from Saudi.

We got to GUST the next day, and show starts; Ibrahim Khairallah went first; then Fadi Al-Shehri, and finally Fahad Al-Butairi. Some giggles! The room was full of laughter the whole time! Those guys are wicked! And guess what guys, you will get the chance to see them, as they will be coming back to Kuwait in about a couple of months 😀
