Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a super great start. Pakistan's very own, Halal certified makeup brand, Masarrat Misbah Makeup, recently launched some new additions to their makeup range. The latest additions include new shades of MM Makeup Liquid Lipstick, Matte Luxe Lipstick & Perfect Wear Eyeliner. Today I am reviewing these 3 new products for you. So let's get to the post to know what do I have to say about these new additions to Masarrat Misbah Makeup line.

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Liquid Lipstick "Diva"

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Liquid Lipstick Diva:
Starting with the new shade "Diva" added to Masarrat Misbah Liquid Lipstick range. MMM Liquid Lipstick Diva is a deep burgundy red shade. It appears deeper and more warm-toned on me in person. The shade actually seems similar to MAC lipstick "Diva" as per the swatches I have seen online. However, I don't actually own MAC Diva, therefore, cannot compare the two. This liquid lipstick applies easily, dries quickly and provides a nice matte finish. It stays on my lips easily for 6 hours or more. However, this particular shade does tend to transfer. Overall, the formula is highly pigmented and comfortable to wear.

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Matte Luxe Lipstick "Empower"

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Matte Luxe Empower:
Masarrat Misbah Makeup Matte Luxe Lipstick "Empower" is a beautiful red shade with blue undertones. The shade looks deeper in indoor lighting. Nonetheless, it looks gorgeous. This lipstick has creamy texture that glides smoothly on the lips and does not dry the lips out. It offers creamy matte finish initially which turns to a soft matte finish after a while. This lipstick isn't completely transfer-proof but has amazing lasting power. It stays on the day almost all day long and even lasts through meal. Overall, this lipstick is undoubtedly a winner for me.

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner "Noir"

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner Noir:
Lastly, we have the new Masarrat Misbah Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner "Noir". I personally find liquid liners hard to apply but this wasn't the case with MM Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner. The brush that comes with liner makes it easier to apply. This liner can provide a perfectly winged line or cat eye look without hassle. The shade "Noir" is an intense black colored liner. It dries quickly and stays all day long without smudging or flaking. This liner offers satin like finish, not completely matte finish, which is something I don't personally like in black liners. Other than that, its a great budget eyeliner.

Swatches: MMM Liquid Lipstick "Diva", MMM Perfect Wear Eyeliner "Noir", MMM Matte Luxe "Empower"

Overall, I am impressed with the quality of these new products by Masarrat Misbah Makeup. The MM Makeup Matte Luxe has surely become my favorite red lipstick and I am definitely going to grab more shades from the range. Masarrat Misbah Makeup is certainly reaching the top by continuously improving quality of its products and adding shades to its makeup range that are perfect for all skin tones. I absolutely recommend you all to try the newest additions to Masarrat Misbah Makeup range.



Price & Availability: All these products are available at leading outlets nationwide and online at www.masarratmakeup.com. The Liquid Lipstick is priced at Rs 1,250, Matte Luxe Lipstick at Rs 1,150 and Perfect Wear Eyeliner at Rs 790 only.



Overall Rating: 4.8/5...!!!

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Today I am back on the blog with one of the most requested reviews. Tarte Cosmetics Precious Picks Color Collection set was my first makeup purchase of this year. The set surely grabbed my attention right when I saw it online. It contains three best-sellers minis by Tarte Cosmetics. Many of you requested me to share swatches and my thoughts on the products in this set. So let's get to the review to see what do I think about the products included in this set...

The set comes in a bright and funky cardboard box. Inside the box there are three deluxe Tarte Cosmetics products including Tarte Amazonian Clay Powder Blush "Ornate", Tarte Color Splash Hydrating Lipstick "Surf's Up" and Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara.

Tarte Color Splash Hydrating Lipstick "Surf's Up"

Starting with Tarte Color Splash Hydrating Lipstick "Surf's Up", this mini-sized lipstick has surely got my heart. It is very pigmented, glides on the lips easily and feels very comfortable on the lips. It's formula is hydrating yet it does not look glossy and provides a semi-matte sort of finish. This lipstick just comfortably sticks to the lips and stays for many hours, even lasts through meals. The shade Surf's Up is a rosy brown shade. The shade is slightly darker for my liking. I like to apply it on the lips, blot it and the shade looks perfect then. Overall, this lipstick surely makes me want to get more shades from Tarte Color Splash lipstick range.

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

Then we have the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara deluxe in this set. I love how the mascara defines and lengthens the lashes. It even curls the lashes and holds the curls well. However, this mascara does not add a lot of volume to lashes so if you are looking for a volumizing mascara, then this one is not for you. Also, this mascara is not water-proof. Nonetheless, this mascara is great for everyday use and defines, lengthens and lifts the lashes nicely.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Powder Blush "Ornate"

I am a huge fan of Tarte blushers already and absolutely love Tarte Amazonian Clay Powder Blush "Ornate" included in this set. The blush has a really nice, easy-to-blend formula. It is fairly pigmented and offers a soft satiny matte finish. Overall, Tarte has once again impressed me with this blusher.

All in all, Tarte Precious Picks Color Collection is a great set containing three deluxe best-sellers by the brand. The set is great for those who want to try out 3 of the most popular products by Tarte Cosmetics before investing into full-sized products. I absolutely love the blusher and lipstick included in this set and I am now intrigued to try more shades from Tarte Color Splash Hydrating Lipstick range. Furthermore, all the products in the set are vegan & dermatologist tested. The set is surely great for the price and I absolutely love it.



Price & Availability: Tarte Precious Picks Color Collection is available online at Tarte Cosmetics Website for $10 (Rs 1400) only.



Overall Rating: 4.9/5...!!!

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are enjoying your days. Today I am sharing my thoughts on two new lipsticks with you all. Our very own Halal Certified makeup brand, Masarrat Misbah Makeup, introduced two new Lip Varnish shades for summers this year. I was lucky enough to try these new shades and today, I am sharing my review on Masarrat Misbah Makeup Lip Varnish in shades "Viola" and "MM Orange". Let's get to the post to know what do I have to say about these Lip Varnishes by Masarrat Misbah Makeup...

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Lip Varnishes come in matte black packaging. The packaging looks sleek and is surely appealing. Texture of these lip varnishes is creamy and these glide smoothly on the lips without tugging. The formula of these lip varnishes is hydrating and these do not dry the lips out. These lip varnishes do not feel waxy or heavy and are comfortable to wear. These do have a mild, noticeable scent but that's nothing bothersome. Pigmentation of these lip varnishes is surely amazing. These provide full opaque coverage in just one swipe.

The new shades "Viola" and "MM Orange" are vibrant and summery. Viola is a gorgeous cool-toned purple fuchsia shade. It is my favorite shade among the two. It instantly brightens up the face and has matte finish.

 MM Orange is a beautiful bright orange shade. Its finish is more creamy to semi-matte.

Both the shades have slight tendency to transfer. However the overall staying power of these lip varnishes is remarkable. These last on me for 6 hours or more, almost till the end of the day. They fade evenly and even last through meals which is impressive.

All in all I can say Masarrat Misbah Makeup has surely impressed me with these new lip varnishes. These lip varnishes have superb color payoff, buttery smooth texture and great staying power. These are Halal certified and locally available which is a huge plus. Both the new shades are so summer-appropriate and a lovely addition to my lipsticks collection. I surely recommend you all to try these new lip varnishes out.

Hey beauties,

Hope you are doing great. Today I am going to share with you my review on Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses in 5 gorgeous shades. I am not at all a fan of lip glosses but these shiny glosses and their beautiful colors surely caught my eye. Let's get to the review to see what do I have to say about these Lip Vex Lip Glosses by Sigma Beauty...

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses

Sigma Beauty Lip Vexes come in small glass tubes with matte black caps. The packaging is cute yet sturdy. These glosses are good to carry along and can easily fit in clutch or purse. Sigma Beauty Lip Vex glosses come with a brush applicator which is different than the usual doe-foot applicators most glosses have.

The texture of these Lip Vex glosses is creamy and slightly thick. Luckily, these do not feel tacky or sticky. These glosses feel hydrating and do not accentuate any dry patches on the lips. The pigmentation of these glosses is good and these provide medium yet buildable coverage.

The shades that I got are Tint, Tranquil, Sheila, Get Ready and All Heart. All the shades have good color payoff. Lets take a closer look at all the shades.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Tint

Tint is a light peachy pink shade. The shade looks less pigmented on lips than the rest of the shades. It looks so natural and is great for everyday use.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Tranquil

Tranquil is a beautiful mauvy brown shade. The shade is very pigmented and can be worn all around the year.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Sheila

Sheila is a gorgeous medium pink shade. The shade is very pigmented and has fine shimmer particles.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Get Ready

Get Ready is a beautiful light peachy shade with gold shimmer particle. I am not a fan of shimmer in lip products but shimmer in this one looks so beautiful. This shade can add extra glam to any look.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex All Heart

All Heart is a lovely medium brown shade. The shade offers sheer to medium coverage and is great for fall/winters.

All the shades have decent staying power and they stay on my lips for about 3-4 hours which is not bad for a gloss.

Overall, Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses are great for all lip gloss lovers. These glosses have nice formula, do not feel tacky, have good pigmentation and add a nice shine to the lips. Another good thing is that these are formulated without parabens and sulfates. Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Glosses are available in 14 gorgeous shades. I surely recommend these to teenagers and all those who love glossy lips or like to add some extra shine to their pout.


The Goods:

• Good color payoff
• Decent staying power
• Creamy texture
• Add nice shine to lips
• Do not feel sticky or tacky
• Feel lightweight and comfortable
• Free of parabens and sulfates
• Cute packaging

Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a super great start. I am a huge fan of matte liquid lipsticks and am kind of obsessed with ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips Liquid lipsticks. Recently ColourPop Cosmetics introduced their mini size To-Go lip kits. The one that caught my attention was "Foxy" that contains 5 mini size best-selling ultra matte lips. This kit contains almost all shades that were on my wishlist so I immediately got it. Let's get to the review to see what do I have to say about this Ultra Matte Lip Mini Kit by ColourPop Cosmetics...

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit Foxy comes in a cute small cardboard outer box. The set contains 5 mini size Ultra Matte Lips including Clueless, Beeper, Tulle, More Better and Creeper. The packaging of ultra matte lips minis is same as full size ones. These come in glass tubes with metallic cap and doe-foot applicator. Each mini ultra matte lip contains about 0.02 oz of product which is less than half of a full-sized ultra matte lip. For size comparison, you can see the picture of one full size ultra matte lip with a mini ultra matte lip.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Comparison

The formula of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips is thin and liquidy. These apply easily and dry quickly to a perfect matte finish. I feel the applicator of the mini ultra matte lips is somehow small for lips. Yet it is good for precise application of lip color. These ultra mattes feel lightweight and comfortable to wear. These are not drying and provide the perfect matte finish. The formula of new ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips has surely improved. The old ones that I have in my collection accentuated fine lines and dryness on lips. These new ones, didn't accentuate any dryness on my lips and I love the finish these provide.

The set "Foxy" contains 5 gorgeous ultra matte shades ranging from neutral to bold colors.  The pigmentation of all the shades is amazing. One swipe of color results in opaque coverage. The 5 shades included in the set are Clueless, Beeper, Tulle, More Better and Creeper. Let's take a closer look at each shade.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Clueless" Lip Swatch

Clueless is a beautiful muted mauvy pink shade. I am not really a fan of mauvy shades but this one is so gorgeous. This has surely become my favorite go-to lip color. It looks so much prettier in person and I will be featuring it one of my FOTDs soon.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Beeper" Lip Swatch

Beeper is a mid-tone taupe shade. Its looks like a nudish taupe brown shade at times. It is my least favorite shade from the set as I don't usually wear browns. The shade is great for those who prefer taupe or mid-tone brown shades.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Tulle" Lip Swatch

ColourPop Utra Matte Tulle is a dark vampy shade. It looks like a deep burgundy shade with hint of brown. This shade is perfect for fall/winters. I have never been a fan of vampy shades but I really like this one.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "More Better" Lip Swatch

More Better is a beautiful rich berry shade. It looks like a deep wine shade in indoor lighting. I can't describe how much I love this color. It is so beautiful and instantly brightens up my face. It is a very wearable berry shade. The shade would suit all skin tones and can be worn all around the year.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Creeper" Lip Swatch

Creeper is a pretty bright red shade with blue undertones. This red is brighter than most of the red lip colors that I have in my collection. It is beautiful and has such smooth matte finish.

All the shades have great staying power and they last almost all day long. These even tend to last through meals. However, I won't say the new formula of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips is completely transfer-proof. Few shades tend to transfer easily while others transfer just a bit. But for such good pigmentation and amazing finish, these cons can be ignored. At the end here is a quick look at all the gorgeous shades in the set "Foxy".

Swatches of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit - Foxy

All in all, I think this ColourPop Ultra Matte Mini Lip Kit "Foxy" is great value for money. These mini kits are great for trying out different shades before buying the full-sized ones. Also these are good to carry along in purse or clutch. The quantity of the mini ultra mattes is just perfect for me as I don't use them on daily basis. I am definitely planning to get full-sized Ultra Mattes in shade "Clueless" and "More Better". I surely recommend you to check out different mini size kits by ColourPop.


The Goods:

• Great variety of shades
• Amazing pigmentation
• Opaque coverage 
• Dry quickly
• Great staying power
• Nice matte finish
• Do not feel drying
• Comfortable to wear
• Perfect to carry in purse/clutch

The Bads:

• Applicator is small for application
• Formula is not transfer-proof

Price & Availability: ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit Foxy is available at ColourPop Website for $18 only. I got mine from Facebook page Brand-O-Holic for Rs 2850/- only.
