Hey there beauties,

Hope you are having a great week. Well am here with one of the most raved about concealers this year. Yes, am talking about, Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. Although I liked my Palladio herbal concealer and Catrice camouflage cream but was still looking for one best concealer for my under eye area. I read so many mixed reviews on this concealer. Few claim this as the best drugstore concealer, while others think its an average one. Luckily when I was buying a few things from Beauty Arena, I spotted this on their site. So, I placed one in my cart to check it out myself. Let's see what I have to say about this.....

Hey Beauties,

This Eid was much more fun for me because of some lovely gifts (Eidi) sent by my lovely fellow bloggers. Thanks to all of them for sending their love and making this Eid more special for me. One of the things I got as Eidi from Shumaila of Beauty Redefine was this LA Girl Creme Lipstick in shade "Love Letters". When I saw this, I was so happy to see the bright tangerine kind of lipstick inside. This is the first L.A Girls cosmetics product that I have tried and let's see what I have to say about this....

Okay now honestly I wasn't expecting a lot from this lipstick and this brand too. They are like so cheap on Beauty Joint and I always ignored these for some reason. Well, when I got this lipstick and opened it up the packaging wasn't that bad. It comes in a round black tube with transparent lid which closes very tightly. In my opinion, the packaging of this lipstick is even better than the Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipsticks. Their transparent lids get messy very easily. But with this one I didn't face this issue.

When I opened this lipstick and swatched it for the first time, I was amazed to see how pigmented this lipstick was. Just one word came to my mind... Amazingggggg...!!! Seriously, it is highly pigmented. The texture and finish of the lipstick in creamy. It glides smoothly on the lips. Just one swipe of this lipstick provides full coverage. The lipstick has a strong artificial smell and taste that is annoying though. Otherwise, it feels really comfortable on lips. The finish of this lipstick is creamy. But if you gently blot it once with a tissue paper. The creaminess or the sheen disappears and it turns to a semi-matte kinda finish.

Now coming towards this particular shade. This shade "Love Letters" is a bright tangerine coral kind of shade. It's more of an orange shade with minor pink undertones. I thought this would be similar to NYX Femme Lipstick, but when I compared these two, this one was more orangish and different. It looks almost neon on my lips and compliments my skin tone (NC 20-25) very well. To tone it down a bit, I blot it with a tissue and the shade becomes a gorgeous semi-matte orange then. I am loving this shade these days and wore this on Eid as well. It's a perfect lip color for summers.

Now let me tell another great thing about this lipstick. The staying power of this lipstick is amazing too. I lasts 5-6 hours or even more, which I think is great. The staying power is almost comparable to the Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipsticks. I must say L.A. Girl sure has impressed me with this lip color. Am loving the shade, its finish and staying power too. Would love to grab some more shades too.

The Goods:

• Highly Pigmented
• Lovely Tangerine shade for summers
• Creamy finish
• Feels Comfortable on Lips
• Great staying Power

The Bads:

• Strong artificial bubble gum like scent
• Availability in Pakistan

Price & Availability: These lipsticks are available at Beauty Joint for $2.25/- only. You can check different Facebook Pages to see if they have these in stock or are taking orders for these. I think The Glam Shop might have these in stock.


My Rating: 4/5

Hey Beauties,

Hope u all are doing great. Today am going to review one of the most raved about blushes this year. Milani Rose Powder Blush in shade "Coral Cove". Okay so when I first saw these blushers on internet, I was captivated by the cute floral design and elegant packaging of these. Since then, I was trying to get my hands on one of these blushers. They were available on different Facebook pages and online stores for different prices. I was interested in trying the 4 limited edition shades. Luckily, I spotted these on BeautyArena. I immediately bought one as a birthday present from me to me... hahaha.. Anyways let's see what I have to say for this rose powder blush.

Okay so firstly lets talk about the packaging. Ahhhh...it's so classy. This blush comes in a gold colored sturdy pan with transparent lid. Inside, you can see the blush with this cutest floral pattern. I fell in love with the rosy pattern actually. That was the main reason I was so tempted to buy this blush because of how cute it looked.

Now coming to the texture and pigmentation. This blush has amazing pigmentation. It is completely matte. However the texture is you can say a bit chalky. Not the best ever texture you would expect from a blush at this price. I mean the cheaper blushes by essence have much better texture. Blending this blush can be a bit tricky initially. But it feels smooth on skin and looks natural.

The shade I picked is one of the four limited edition shades "Coral Cove". Its a gorgeous coral shade. A matte pinkish peachy shade that would suit almost all skin tones. The staying power of this blush was decent for me. It lasted for about 4-5 hours in hot and humid weather which is decent. After 4-5 hours u can see light stain on your cheek. But honestly, I was expecting more.

Overall, its a decent matte blusher. Not as great as the previous Milani blushes. If you are a fan of cute looking makeup products or you like matte blushes then you should stock these up. The shade is really gorgeous. But performance-wise I would rate this as an average blush. However, I still admire how cute and elegant it looks. I think the cute floral pattern and packaging of these blushes might make these a hit again.

The Goods:

• Cutest rose like pattern
• Elegant and sturdy packaging
• A gorgeous coral shade
• Great Pigmentation
• Decent staying power

The Bads:

• You might think it's a bit pricey
• Texture might feel a bit chalky
• Tricky to blend

Price & Availability:  Milani Rose Blushes are available at Just4Girls and BeautyArena. I bought mine from BeautyArena for Rs 1550/- For international readers you can find Milani Rose powder blush at Beauty Joint for $9.99.


My Rating: 3.5/5
