Hey pretties,

Hope you all are doing great. Today am reviewing a gorgeous set of false/fake nails that I got from Facebook page Bed of Nails. The page is owned by a very sweet and humble fellow blogger Jabeen, who has gained a lot of expertise in nail art over the year. She started this page named Bed of Nails a while ago to utilize her talent. I am loving the collection of false hand-painted nails on her page and recently got these festive nails from her that are perfect for this season. So let's get to the post and see what I have to say about these beautiful artificial nails from Bed of Nails.

The set of nails that I got is "Festive" in natural pink color. The shape and size of these nails is short square. Nails are available in different sizes and lengths on the page. The color of these nails is light peachy pink. Its looking slightly darker in the pictures because of the white background but you can see the exact color in the pictures below. These are glue-on nails and you can use any artificial nail glue/adhesive to stick these. Since I have extremely short nails, therefore I like using fake nails for events and occasions. Am glad that the shape and size of these nails is perfect for me. Thanks to the page owner who helped me choose the right size.

The set has 2 plain, one completely glittery nail, one half glittery nail and one nail with rhinestones. I love the design and color combination of this set. The set is perfect for parties and other events where you want your nails to make a statement. Since I have extremely short nails and use nail colors only occasionally, I see myself wearing these quite often. These blingy nails are perfect for the current festive season. The quality of the nails in this set is pretty nice too. I didn't experience any breakage, cracking or fall out with these and I can say these are pretty durable.

However, I only decided to shop from one of my favorite brands, Sigma Beauty. This Black Friday, Sigma Beauty offered free international shipping on all orders for 2 days. This was the perfect time to grab some products from Sigma Beauty that were on my wishlist. So lets see what I got from Sigma Beauty and how was my shopping experience with them.

This year Sigma Beauty launched many amazing collections and innovative products. Since its Holiday Season, therefore Sigma Beauty also launched 12 amazing Holiday Gift Sets. The sets are really good value for money. I have had Sigma Beauty F40 and F55 on my wishlist for so long. So I wanted to get these two brushes from Sigma Beauty along with some blushers. The #GLOWGETTER holiday set had everything that I wanted. I was more than happy to see the set and therefore immediately placed my order for it. Sigma Beauty also offers free deluxe gifts on orders above $50. Therefore, I was given the option to chose from a number of free gifts to add in my cart. I added one Extended Wear Eyeliner in shade "Drift" and finalized and placed my order.

Many of us think of diarrhoea as a common disease and don’t take it seriously. However, most people are not aware of the fact that diarrhoeal disease is one of the biggest global killers. It is one of the leading causes of death among the developing world's children. Each year, diarrhoea kills around 53000 children under five and is the second leading cause of death in children under five years old. 25 million cases have been reported annually in Pakistan alone.

Save a Child a Minute from Diarrhoeal Disease,  A Global Killer

These statistics related to diarrhoeal disease are really alarming. However we need to know that diarrhoea is both preventable and treatable. Interventions to prevent diarrhoea include safe drinking-water, use of improved sanitation and hand washing with soap. There and few more small steps can save children from this killer. These include low-osmolality ORS and zinc, rota virus vaccine, exclusive breast feeding, vitamin A supplementation, hand washing with soap at critical times, stop open defecation, household water treatment and safe storage.

Reckitt Benckiser (RB), manufacturers of Dettol, and Plan International Pakistan, a developmental sector organization, have collaborated to design and test a new approach to reduce the incidence of diarrhoea amongst under-five children by improving the health, hygiene and sanitation conditions. On December 8, 2015 RB and Plan jointly launched an innovative behavior changing campaign, “Save a Child a Minute” in Pakistan. The vision is to stop deaths from diarrhoea by empowering women and creating wealth for local communities.

Save a Child a Minute Campaign Launch

Rashid Javed, Country Director Plan International Pakistan gave his remarks at the launch event: “Based on our experience of Sanitation Marketing we are now moving forward to test a new model of women entrepreneurship. The model is based on helping communities to adopt improved hygiene behaviours and sustaining them through a sustainable supply chain. Establishing a system of supply and demand and linking it with women entrepreneur/Women hygienist is an idea which will ultimately help these women to earn their livelihood while helping their communities to promote health by adopting improved behaviours for water, sanitation and hygiene.”

CEO RB Pakistan highlighted the key points of the projects at the launch event. During his speech he stated: “RB has always aimed to provide healthier homes and happier lives through trusted brands such as Dettol, Mortein, Harpic and many more. This global initiative simultaneously being run in Pakistan, Nigeria and India seeks to eradicate diarrhoea and improve general health and hygiene of the low- income consumers by habit change. Through global research and technology, RB has designed a low-cost antibacterial soap under the Dettol brand, a complete new formulation specifically for this purpose. The aim is to interactively educate consumers about health and hygiene, provide them with affordable health and sanitary solutions.”

The campaign emphasizes on empowering women by providing them with health and sanitation products that can help them fight diseases like diarrhoea. Locally hired women from lower economic class are given these goods (from RB and other private partners such as Searle, Shan Foods, Peak Freans and Santex) at a discount and they sell them door-to-door and earn a commission on them.

Behaviour Changing Model to Eradicate Diarrhoea

Distribution Network Flow

Haider Sheikh explained the overall model and tactical plan of this project. The main behaviour changing model presented by the company to eradicate diarrhoea consists of three basic pillars; Educating and creating awareness about the cause of this disease, providing innovative low-cost products that help prevent diarrhoea and empowering women through and inclusive business model.

MNA Phyllis Azeem was the chief guest at the launch event and she assured government's support for the cause in her speech. The project is in line with the government vision project 2025. Currently the government is collaborating for the pilot, it can further look into jointly up-scaling the campaign at a national level.

In the next 6 months, RB and Plan will cover 600 households in Dhori, a village in Sargodha. Later on, “Save a Child a Minute” will be scaled up nationally by RB and Plan in close coordination with the federal and provincial government to support the Government’s Vision 2025 project.

This is a really brilliant and remarkable initiative by RB and Plan towards eradicating dirrhoea. Such a campaign will save lives of millions of children from this killer disease. We wish team RB and Plan all the best for this project and hope that this initiative will help eradicate this killer from the society.

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Its been a while since I posted any review on the blog. Been caught up with so many things lately. But here I am today, sharing my review on Jordana Eyeliner Pencil in shade 38 "Dark Brown". Lately I have been more into brown eye pencils since they look subtle and complement my eye color. Jordana Dark Brown Eyeliner Pencil is a gorgeous brown shade. Let's see what I have to say about this eyeliner pencil by Jordana Cosmetics.

Jordana Eyeliner Pencil "Dark Brown"

Jordana Eyeliner Pencil "Dark Brown"

So this eyeliner pencil is much thinner and longer than the regular eye pencils. The pencil is very long thus it will last much longer. The texture of this eyeliner is not very creamy yet it glides on smoothly without tugging. The pigmentation of this pencil is not very intense but decent and buildable. One swipe of the eyeliner provides decent color payoff and u can get much darker color with more than one swipes. This eyeliner pencil didn't irritate my sensitive eyes which is a plus.

The shade that am reviewing is 38 Dark Brown. It looks like a true brown color with just one swipe. However with multiple swipes, the shade looks much darker. I love using this eyeliner pencil to fill in my brows. It works great as a brow pencil. This eye liner pencil is not smudge-proof and the staying power of this eyeliner is pretty average. It starts fading soon and stays on my eyes for about 3-4 hours at max which is not really impressive. However, if used to fill in brows, it lasts a bit longer.

Jordana Eyeliner Pencil "Dark Brown" Swatches

Overall, this eyeliner pencil by Jordana failed to impress me much. The color payoff is decent and it applies easily without tugging. However, the staying power is just average and its not smudge-proof. In my opinion, it works better as a brow pencil than an eyeliner. This eyeliner costs really less and for the price this is OK, something you can easily carry with you in your purse.


The Goods:

• Decent color payoff
• Good quantity in less price
• Glides easily without tugging
• Easily fits in purse or clutch
• Can be used as brow pencil too
• Does not irritate eyes
• Affordable

The Bads:

• Needs to be sharpened manually
• Not smudge-proof
• Average staying power
• Availability

Price & Availability:  Jordana Eyeliner Pencil is available online at Jordana Cosmetics Website for €1.16 only. Don't forget to check out the wide range of Jordana Cosmetics at Just4girls.pk
