Hey Beauties,

Today am going to share my recent skincare haul with you. My beauty goals for 2014 include establishing and following a skincare routine. I decided to include a few more things into my skincare routine and therefore this time I shopped for more skincare products than cosmetics/makeup. Let's see what I got this time....

Skincare Haul

Skincare Haul

Lush Grooming Bargains Purchases

List of what I got:

1. Ponds pure white deep cleansing facial foam 100g (PKR 230/- from a local cash n carry)
2. Johnson's daily essential exfoliating face wash 150ml (PKR 400/- from D.watson)
3. Olay essentials beauty fluid (PKR 530/- from a local mart)
4. Saeed Ghani rose water spray 100ml (PKR 60/- from a local mart)
5. Everyuth golden glow peel off mask 90g (PKR 295/- from Al-Fatah)
6. The body shop born lippy lip balm (PKR 399/- from Lush Grooming Bargains)
7. Jordana made to last liquid eyeliner pencil in Espresso Last (PKR 480/- from Lush Grooming Bargains)

Okay so I bought a few things from a local cash n carry here. The "Ponds pure white facewash" is my HG facial cleanser and I have been using it for about 3-4 years now. I love this face wash and it really cleanses the face deeply. The "Olay essential beauty fluid" was recommended by the lovely Huda from Sparkling Makeup Blog. I trusted her words and bought this and I actually like it a lot. Thanks Huda :) I also picked a bottle of "Saeed Ghani rosewater". I never tried rosewater for skin/ setting makeup but after hearing a lot of good things I wanted to give this a try.

I got the Johnson's face wash from D.watson. I always use clean and clear exfoliating face-washes in the morning but I wanted to try something new and mild this time for winters. The sales girl convinced me to try this face wash as it's very gentle and is not harsh on the skin. I haven't used this yet. Will share my thoughts on this after trying. Then, I bought the Everyuth mask from Al-Fatah. I guess this is the first face mask I have purchased from Everyuth. I read a lot of positive reviews on this golden glow mask so picked this up to give this a try too.

I was actually looking for the body shop lip balm in strawberry and found it available at an online store Lush Grooming Bargain. I also added one Jordana eye pencil in "Espresso Last" as I was looking for a creamy dark brown eyeliner too. This was my first shopping experience with this store and I must say was very pleased with their efficient and quick service. They also sent me two free gifts with my order (One ELF custom eyeshadow and Avon solutions cream samples). That's so sweet of them. Thank you Lush Grooming Bargains.. :)

Okay so that's all for now... Hope you enjoyed my haul post. Will be sharing product reviews and experiences soon.

Hey lovelies....

Enjoying the weather...??? Here I am with another "Tag Post"on my blog. I guess it's tagging season here....hahaha but am loving it.. :) This time I was tagged by the lovely Jadirah of the "Jasmine Catches Butterflies". Jadirah you are such a sweetie pie, thanks for tagging me and letting me participate in this fun-filled tag post. Okay so let's get started...

The Winter Tag

Q1) What's your favourite winter nail polish?

Okay so firstly let me tell you that I don't wear nail polishes a lot because of my extremely short nails. I only use nail colors occasionally. But if you ask about my preferable shades for winter then those would be berry, wine or dark pink nail colors.

Q2) Favourite winter lip product?

Lip balms...!!! I love tinted lip balms and my favorite are the "Labello Fruity Shine Lip Balms" in strawberry and cherry.

Labello Fruity Shine Balms

I love wearing mid-length smart sweaters for outdoor. While at home I love my warm woolen casual hoodies and sweaters. I've been wearing this black warm hoodie/upper this season a lot at home.

Winter Clothing

 Q4) Most worn winter accessory?

For accessories it has to be either woolen stoles or socks. I like matching stoles with my dresses in winters instead of big shawls and socks are something which keep my freezing cold feet warm.

My winter socks

Q5) Favourite winter scent/candle?

Ummm to be honest, I don't really use any season-specific scents. But talking about winters, I love the smell of yummy baked choco cake.....yummm...!!!

Q6) Favourite winter beverage?

Green tea, Kashmiri tea and Coffee... Love all of them.

Q7) All time favourite holiday movie?

I don't really watch a lot of movies. But ya sometimes when I feel bored, I do and what I love to watch is animated movies. Right now, it's frozen...I love it. But my all time fav would be any Disney movie. "Tangled and UP" are my two absolute favorites.

Q9) What's at the top of your wishlist?

A lot of things...But ya right now, RT brushes and any good foundation plus some high end lipsticks.


Q10) Your plans for winter holidays?

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing well. Here I am with my first Tag post on my blog. I was tagged by a sweet fellow blogger of mine "Sana" from "Makeupoholics". Thanks Sana for tagging me and inviting me to share my thoughts too :)


Now let me tell you how this "Tag" actually works. I have to answer a few questions and then nominate a few bloggers to complete the Tag. This is my first Tag post and I'd like to thank Sana once again for tagging me. Now this is what I love about blogging, there's always something new to know, share and experience :D

Well, time to answer the questions. I hope you all enjoy my replies ....

Bad Beauty Habit:

Hmm....I touch my hair a lot. I know it's bad but I can't just control it and I touch my hair quite a lot, may be because I love my hair ;) hehehe...

Beauty Secret to add this year:

This year am going to spend some money on RT brushes IA :) And yes, one more important thing that I am going to do is, focusing more on my skincare routine. I spend more money on cosmetics than on skincare products. But this year am also planning to establish and follow an effective skincare routine too.

Last Year's Beauty Favorites:

Am I the only lazy blogger in the circle who hasn't shared her favorites post for 2013..?? lol.. Well I started blogging just 3 months back so I thought it would be a little too early to write a "favorites" post for a whole year. But here you can have a quick look at few of my favorite products from the past year.

Beauty/Body Goals for 2014:

For body goals, I'll try to include some sort of exercise in my daily routine. It can be anything from a daily walk to cycling or something even more just for strength and to keep myself active. As for beauty goals, again I'll follow some skincare regime strictly. I'll also try a few desi or natural remedies/totkas such as home made masks and rosewater spray and will later share the results with you all too.

Last Year's Biggest Fashion Mistake/Regrets:

Well I ordered one Essence foundation online and the shade was a mismatch. Also, I ruined a few of my dresses by sending the tailor wrong measurements, uhhh that was so silly of me. Oh and yes I went for a haircut just a day before a special event and the haircut was a DISASTER, that girl chopped my hair so roughly and gave me very short front bangs...which were impossible to deal with the next day on the function . I guess I should have went for the haircut a bit earlier. My fault...!!! No problem, this is how we all learn, don't we... ???

This Year's Fashion Trend Predictions:

Well this year the same bold brows and bold lips trend will remain in. Talking about fashion and clothing, I really hope and wish that "Churidars" and "Long shirts" remain in this year too. Although I was in love with the patiala shalwar and short shirts trend but I love long shirts and churidars even more now as they seem very elegant and classy.

This Year's Fashion Must-Have:

This year...

• Sharpen your eye pencils and brow pencils as you will be using them a lot.
• Have pretty bold lip colors (Pinks, Orange, Fuchsia) in stock.
• Don't forget to buy a few colorful floral tights/ leggings.

Last Year's Happiest Moment/ Biggest Achievement:

Well, the happiest moments are yet to come. But last year my biggest achievement was to score A in all my subjects and scoring 4 GPA (100%) in my final semester. That really was a big achievement for me and am so thankful to Allah for blessing me with this success. Hoping for more achievements and much happier moments this year IA...

Last Year's Biggest Challenge:

2013 was full of challenges for me, completing my thesis, so much of work load and many other things. But a main challenge for me was starting my own beauty blog and making it popular. I don't know if I have succeeded in wining the hearts of my readers or not, but I am trying my best and am satisfied (Alhamdulillah) that I managed to build a reasonable followership for my blog in such short span of time. Hoping for much much more this year... :)

Any Advice For 2014:

Yes, this advice is not only for all my followers/readers who are reading this post, but is also something for me too. I read this somewhere and loved it...

"Forget the bad, focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don't. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living..... "

Live happily and Stay blessed :)

Hey there girls...

Essence recently introduced its Home Sweet Home Collection and I was really tempted to try a few things from the range. About 2 weeks ago I was able to find the collection at a local drugstore here. Unfortunately, the lipsticks were out of stock that I really wanted to try but then the blushes from this range caught my eye and I got myself one immediately. There were two shades of blushes available in this range. One was a mix of coral/orange with pink and the other was a lighter pink with burgundy kind of shade. I picked the pink one which is named "Knits For Chicks". Let's see what I have to say about this cute looking blush......

Essence Home Sweet Home Blush in Knits For Chicks (01)

Essence Home Sweet Home Blush in Knits For Chicks (01)

Essence Home Sweet Home Blush in Knits For Chicks (01)

Starting with the packaging this blush comes in a round plastic blush containers. One thing I'd like to mention is that the lid of this container is very tight, and makes a loud click sound upon closing. The packaging of this blush is a bit bigger than the previous silky touch blushes by Essence. Overall the packaging is okay. What actually caught my eye is the embossed knit pattern of the blush inside which looks so cute.

This blush is very pigmented. When I first swatched this blush on my hand, the pigmentation seemed just reasonable. But then, when I applied it with a brush on my cheeks, it was really very pigmented. The lighter shade is not very pigmented if worn alone. It appears as a very light shimmery silverish pink shade. However, the darker shade is highly pigmented. It appears as a bright matte pink/rosy shade. I swirl my blusher brush in the pan to mix both the shades, then tap the access and apply it very light-handedly on my cheek bones to add a lovely pop of color to my cheeks.

This blush feels so silky and smooth. There are no harsh chunks of shimmer or glitter in this blush when applied, rather it adds a nice sheen to the cheeks. When blended together, it appears as a perfect medium rosy pink shade for winters with a pretty sheen. This blush is incredibly soft in texture. In fact, it is so soft that it may lead to fall out in the pan. So, be careful about that. Here are the swatches of this blush. The first picture shows both shades swatched separately and the second picture shows how the blush looks when blended together.

Essence Home Sweet Home Blush in Knits For Chicks (Swatched seperately)

Essence Home Sweet Home Blush in Knits For Chicks (Blended Together)

Overall, I love this blush. The staying power of this blush is pretty decent too. It's not great but not poor too. After about 4 to 5 hours, there is still some noticeable tint of color on the cheeks. I am loving this color for winters and soon planning to get the coral/orange shade from this range too.


The Goods:

• Blends easily
• Decent pigmentation
• Has a nice and subtle sheen
• Soft texture
• Does not enhance pores or dryness
• Unique/Attractive knitted kind of pattern :)

The Bads: 

• Limited color range (Only two shades available from this range)
• The Lighter shade may appear less pigmented if worn alone.

Price & Availability: I bought this Blush for PKR 440/- only from D.Watson. The Essence Home Sweet Home Collection is now available at selected Essence counters across the country. Also available online at Just4girls.pk.
For International readers, Essence Home Sweet Home Collection can be found at "Target" for about $ 5.50.

My Rating: 4/5

Hey beauties,

So today I am going to share my thoughts on the most raved about drugstore concealer. Am talking about the "Catrice camouflage cream". Recently a lot of bloggers were writing and talking about the amazing coverage of this concealer which tempted me to try it. Luckily, I was able to get one for me from J4G. The shade I bought is "Ivory". Let's see what I have to say about this concealer after trying it....

Catrice Camouflage Cream in Ivory

Catrice Camouflage Cream in Ivory

Catrice camouflage cream comes in a little black plastic pot like container. The small pot is travel-friendly and convenient to use. The texture of this concealer is thick and creamy. The texture of this concealer is almost solid inside the pot (may be because of the cold weather these days). But still, the concealer is easy to swatch and use....yaaay..!!!

When I first tried this concealer I was seriously blown away by the coverage it provides. I mean WOW it really covers well. A sheer layer of this concealer is just enough to do the job. Don't apply too much or it may look a bit cakey or even claggy. I take a very thin layer of this concealer on my finger tip and then apply it under my eyes where I need the most coverage. For blending, I tap this concealer gently into my skin using the same finger and it blends so well. You can use a concealer brush if you like.

I have dry/combo skin in winters and this concealer does not enhance any under eye dryness. It doesn't crease or settle into fine lines for me. If you still feel that you can have the creasing issue with this cream concealer then don't forget to set it with a good setting powder. The only issue I have with this concealer is the limited shade range. I picked the lightest shade for myself but the shade is actually lighter when applied than it looks in the pot. It looks fine on my skin tone especially when applied over my foundation but I still feel mixing this shade with a slightly darker shade will create an even better match for me.

Catrice Camouflage Cream in "Ivory" Arm Swatch

Left: Bare Eye - Right: Catrice Camouflage Cream applied

In the above picture I have applied only a very thin layer of catrice camouflage cream in "ivory" without any primer, foundation or powder. You can see that it covers the dark circles really well and doesn't look cakey. Overall, I love this concealer a lot and I think it will work even better for covering blemishes or pimples. The best part is the staying power of this concealer. It lasted on me almost all day which is greattttt.

The Goods:

• Great coverage
• Blends easily
• Does not settle into fine line
• Doe not crease
• Amazing staying power
• Very little amount of product is needed
• Affordable

The Bads:

• Limited shade range (Finding the perfect match for your skin tone can be difficult)
• Availability in Pakistan

Price & Availability: I bought this concealer from online store Just4girls.pk for PKR 580/- only.

Rating: 4.5/5

Hello Everyone,

Today I have another lip product review for my lovely readers. Am going to review the "Artdeco Perfect Color Lipstick" in shade 36/pink thistle. I bought this lipstick a few months back and love it. I mentioned this lipstick in my favorite pink lipsticks too. Therefore, I decided to do a review on this lipstick for all of you.

Artdeco Perfect Color Lipstick # 36

Artdeco Perfect Color Lipstick # 36

Artdeco Perfect Color Lipstick # 36

This lipstick comes in a black round aluminum sleek packaging. The texture of this lipstick is very very very creamy. It glides on the lips so smoothly. This lipstick feels very lightweight on the lips. I don't like lipsticks that feel heavy on the lips but this one really feels so comfortable. This lipstick feels hydrating on lips and leaves the lips soft and supple after application. It has a satin finish which looks quite subtle and can be worn easily.

I bought this lipstick in shade 36 which is named "Pink Thistle" on the website. This is a gorgeous warm rosy pink shade. This lipstick has good pigmentation. The coverage it provides is medium to opaque. The first swipe provides a semi-opaque layer of color to the lips and you can swipe again for greater coverage. I love this shade a lot. The shade is actually slightly more darker than the lip swatch that I have shared below.

Artdeco Perfect Color Lipstick #36 Arm Swatch

Artdeco Perfect Color Lipstick #36 Lip Swatch

I love this lipstick and it's one of my favorite pink lip shades. It is creamy and feels nice on lips. However, the staying power is just average. Because of the creamy formula, it stays on my lips for about 2-3 hours. But I think almost all creamy lipsticks lack staying power. Overall this lipstick is great. Am planning to try the artdeco high performance lipsticks next :)

The Goods:

• Feels lightweight on the lips
• Great pigmentation
• Feels creamy and moisturizing
• Gorgeous shade that will compliment almost every skin tone
• Sturdy metallic packaging

The Bads:

• Creamy formula can melt inside tube in hot/humid weather
• Average staying power

Price & Availability: These lipsticks are available at Artdeco Cosmetics counters at all leading drug and cosmetic stores. These lipsticks are also available online at Just4girls.pk for PKR 990/-

My Rating: 4/5

Hello lovelies,

So winter is at it's peak and I recently discovered this new Lip Butter by Labello. I mentioned this lip butter in my last haul post and have been using this for over a week now.

What the Labello Lip Butter claims: "The indulging Lip Butter formula pampers lips and relieves dry, chapped lips. It seals in moisture in your lips long- lastingly and leaves the sensitive skin of the lips well protected against the external influences"

Today am going to share my thoughts on this lip butter after using and testing this regularly for more than a week. Let's see what I have to say about this.....

Labello Lip Butter Original

Labello Lip Butter Original

Labello Lip Butter Original Ingredients

Starting from the packaging. This lip butter comes in a small flat round container. The lid of the container is very tight which makes it travel friendly too. The small container contains 19ml of product. Inside the container you will find the thick white lip butter. The "original" lip butter has no particular taste and smell. There were two more lip butters available (a pink and a cream one).I bought this in winters so when I opened it the texture of the butter looked solid and hard because of the low temperature but once I pressed my finger against it, it felt very soft and creamy. I think storing this lip butter will be an issue in summers because of it's soft and buttery texture.

Since it's a lip butter, it's texture is a bit thicker than regular lip balms. But still, it does not feel heavy on the lips. However, if you have always used regular lip balms, you may find it a bit heavy/thick. It applies smoothly on the lips and makes the lips feel soft and smooth. This lip butter absorbs easily into the lips and I don't find it greasy or sticky. Am glad because I hate sticky lip products. It really hydrates the lips well and the hydration does last long enough. Also, it adds a little shine to the lips but the shine disappears after sometime.

The only thing I don't like about this lip butter is the white cast it leaves on the lips. This lip butter leaves a thin whitish layer over the lips which makes me look washed out... Arggg..!! But well, the good news it that the white cast disappears after some time. I don't mind it now since I use this lip butter only at night before going to bed. You need to apply a thin layer of this lip butter over the lips so that it absorbs quickly into the lips. A thick layer may feel heavy on the lips. I swatches a thick layer of the lip butter on my arm for you all and then applied a normal layer on my lips. Here are the swatches:

Labello Lip Butter Original (Thick arm swatch)

Labello Lip Butter Original (Lip Swatch)

Overall, I love this lip butter and it's great for winters. These lip butters are much creamier and more hydrating than the previous Labello Fruity Shine Lip Balms. I still love the fruity shine lip balms and will continue to use those in the daytime and will use this lip butter at night or before applying any matte/drying lipstick. These lip butters are so affordable and am definitely planning to buy more flavors soon.. :)

The Goods:

• Hydrates and moisturizes the lips
• Contains shea butter and almond oil
• Provides long lasting hydration
• Does not feel sticky and greasy
• Keeps the lips soft and smooth
• Adds shine to the lips

The Bads:

• Leaves behind a slight white cast on the lips (which disappears after sometime)
• Some people may find the container/jar packaging unhygienic

Price & Availability: I bought this lip butter from D.watson for PKR 265/- only. Labello lip butters and other lip care products are now available at all leading cosmetic and drugstores in Pakistan.

Hey beauties....

Hope you all are enjoying your first week of 2014. Today am sharing the first beauty haul of this year. This is a mini haul but all of these things were purchased around 1st of January and I just cant wait to share my hauls with you all. Therefore, I decided to do a quick "New Year Haul" post for my lovely readers.

New Year Beauty Haul

New Year Beauty Haul

New Year Beauty Haul

List of what I got:

1. MUA 12 shade Glamor Days Palette (PKR 750/- from Just4girls)
2. Catrice Camouflage Cream in 010 Ivory (PKR 580/- from Just4girls)
3. Labello Lip Butter Original 19 ml (PKR 265/- from D.watson)
4. Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser 150 ml (PKR 400/- from D.watson)
5. St. Ives Apricort Scrub 170 g (PKR 300/- from D.watson)

I bought 2 items from Just4girls which were on my wishlist for 2013. Glad they were in stock just when the year was about to end. I am not so into eye shadows. I only have a few small eyeshadow palettes or quads but since I have started my own beauty blog, I needed this palette for creating a few eye looks and tutorials this year.

The rest of the items were purchased from D.watson. I love the St.Ives scrubs since forever. I have used the older version of apricot scrub for many years and have also tried a few other scrubs and skin care products from them but am gonna try this "Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub" for the first time. For my daily morning face wash/cleanser, I love "Clean & Clear", especially their morning burst range is my favorite. As winters are at it's peak so my skin needed something mild, without any granules or beads. So, I picked up the "Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser". This one is for all skin types.

Just when I was about to checkout, I spotted the "Labello Lip Butters" at the counter. I immediately picked one. Glad I found these as I wanted to try them since they were launched. I love the Labello Fruity Shine Balms and have reviewed them too. I have already started using this new lip butter from Labello and the Catrice camouflage concealer. Will be reviewing these soon. :)

That's all for now. Hope you enjoyed my haul... Don't forget to leave your comments :)
