Sigma Beauty Nightlife Brush Set

Nightlife Brush Set:
Starting with Sigma Beauty Nightlife Brush Set. The Nightlife brush set consists of 5 best-selling Sigma Beauty brushes. It contains both eye and face brushes that are essential for any makeup look. The three eye brushes in the set are essential for perfect application and blending of eye makeup. The two face brushes are versatile and can be used to apply blusher, highlighter and also for contouring. The set contains Sigma F35 and F40 which are Must-Haves in my opinion. The most captivating thing about these brushes is their glittery handles. I can say, this is by far the most gorgeous brush set in my collection. Quality of the brushes is great like always. The bristles are soft and I didn't experience any shedding so far. The handles of brushes are pretty yet sturdy. Overall, the brush set isn't just gorgeous but contains some of the best brushes by Sigma Beauty and I love it.

All the shades are super pigmented and have buttery soft texture. They are really easy to blend and have great staying power. I experienced minor fall out with few matte shades in the palette but that was nothing too bothersome. This is a very versatile palette and I totally love the variety of shades in this palette. Yet another heart-winning eye shadow palette by Sigma Beauty.

Sigma Beauty In Fine Feather Lip Liner

In Fine Feather Lip Liner and Dance 'Til Dawn Lipstick:
The collection also consists of one Lip liner (In Fine Feather) and one Lipstick (Dance 'Til Dawn). The lipstick and liner are Camila Coelho signature shades. Dance 'Til Dawn lipstick is a light pink lipstick. It looks almost nude pink on my lips. The texture of lipstick is very creamy and its color payoff is amazing. Staying power of the lipstick however is just 3-4 hours because of its creamy finish and texture. In Fine Feather lip liner is a very gorgeous rosy pink matte lip liner. Its texture is creamy. It can be used to outline lips or can be worn alone, all over the lips. The shade can be worn with many pink lipsticks and is perfect for all skin tones.

At the end, here is a soft glam look that I have created using these products from Sigma Beauty Nightlife by Camila Coelho Collection. In this look I have used Nightlife eye shadow palette on my eyes, In Fine Feather Liner on my lips and Nightlife brush set for application and blending. For those glowy cheeks, I have used Sigma Beauty Shimmer Cream in Brilliant.
All in all, I love Sigma Beauty Nightlife by Camila Coelho Collection. From packaging to color selection and products performance, I love everything about it. All the products are worth the price and worth trying. The Nightlife eye shadow palette and brush set have surely become my favorite and I see myself using these a lot this year. I will be surely featuring these in different makeup looks that I will be sharing on my Instagram.

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. I recently tried out O'Honey Mask & Scrub by Jo's Organic Beauty and loved it. After the O'Honey mask, I also tried their famous Turmeric Mix Face Pack and today I am sharing my thoughts on it. According to Jo's Organic Beauty, Jo's Organic Turmeric Mix is a fine blend of almond sandal, neem, roses and other essential herbs that clears out uneven skin tone and gives fairness and a healthy looking glow. So let's get to the review to know what do I have to say about Jo's Organic Beauty Turmeric Mix Face Pack...

Jo's Organic Beauty Turmeric Mix (Paste Made Using Milk and Rose Water)

Starting with the packaging, Turmeric Mix comes in a plastic bag like packaging. Packaging isn't really ideal in my opinion but since it is a powder product, you can easily transfer and store it in any empty jar. Directions to use the mask are mentioned on back of packaging. It is advised to keep the mask in refrigerator and use it within 6 months of opening.

Turmeric Mix mask is finally milled. You can see some natural ingredients like almonds visible in the fine powder. To use this mask, you need to make a smooth paste by mixing the turmeric mix powder with yogurt or milk and adding some drops of rose water. Leave it for 20 minutes and then rinse off. I made the paste using milk as I have dry skin in winters. The mask was easy to apply. I left it on my face for 20 minutes. I could feel my skin tightening as the mask dried. After 20 minutes, I washed my face. My skin felt clean, soft and fresh afterwards. It was moisturized yet didn't feel oily. It wasn't instantly glowing or bright but it surely felt soft and smooth.

It is suggested to use this mask twice or thrice a week. I can say with continuous use this mask really makes the skin soft and supple. It rejuvenates the skin and slightly evens out skin tone too. It moisturizes the skin well and leaves it feeling soft. It doesn't instantly brightens the face like the O'honey mask but with continuous use you will notice improvement in condition of your skin. Since it is an organic mask, it is gentle on skin and is suitable for all skin types.


The Goods:

• Made with all natural ingredients
• Improves texture of skin with continuous use
• Makes skin soft 
• Moisturizes the skin
• Gentle on skin
• Suitable for all skin types

The Bads:

• Doesn't provide an instant glow
• Not a ready-to-use mask

Price & Availability: Jo's Organic Beauty Turmeric Mix is available at Jo's Organic Beauty Facebook Page for Rs 650/- for the pack.
Check out their complete range of organic skin care products in the Shop Section on the page.




Overall Rating: 4.5/5...!!!

Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a great start. Few weeks ago I got a bunch of Sigma Beauty products that have been on my wish-list for so long. These also included Sigma Beauty Power Crayons. I am a huge fan of twistable lip crayons and was excited to try the ones introduced by Sigma Beauty. So let's get to the post to know what do I have to say about these Power Crayons by Sigma Beauty.

Sigma Beauty Power Crayons

Sigma Beauty Power Crayons come in sleek matte black twistable chubby sticks. These power crayons are super pigmented and provide opaque coverage. The texture of these power crayons is very creamy. These glide smoothly on lips without tugging. These power crayons feel hydrating and make the lips look kind of fuller. Finish of these lip crayons is semi-matte. Due to intense pigmentation and creamy formula, these do tend to transfer and smear which is common with all creamy lip colors.

The shades that I got are Signed, Sealed, Rubicund and Own It. Starting with Signed, Sealed which has to be my favorite shade among all. It is a beautiful dusty rose red shade. I am so in love with the shade and have been wearing it almost everyday.

Rubicund is a beautiful muted pink lipstick. The shade is beautiful and subtle.

Own It is a purple shade. It looks like an eggplant purple shade on my lips. The shade is perfect for winters and would suit all skin tones.

Staying power of all the shades is pretty good. They stay on the lips easily for about 5- 6 hours and leave a stain behind too. For me, these lasted through light meals too.

Overall, these power crayons have impressed me with their superb pigmentation and coverage. They feel moisturizing, light weight and comfortable to wear and have decent staying power. Being twistable crayons, these are easy to use and carry along in purse. Signed, Sealed is my current go-to lip color. These power crayons are currently available in 6 shades only. I hope Sigma introduces more shades in this range soon.


The Goods:

• Intense pigmentation
• Opaque coverage
• Creamy formula
• Feel moisturizing
• Feel comfortable on lips
• Good staying power
• Easy to use and carry
• Sleek packaging

The Bads:

• Tend to transfer easily

As the Pakistan Fashion Design Council [PFDC] prepares to host their landmark 10th consecutive season of PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week [#PSFW17] from 02 – 05 of March in Lahore, the Council introduce to the fashion industry an evolved show concept and structure.
Starting with #PSFW17, the PFDC endeavours to continue to advance the pioneering platform towards an international and global standard and standing. This season, this is being done in a twofold manner: Firstly, the Pakistan Fashion Design Council has researched, developed and now engaged globally seasoned experts from the UK to create a first of its kind production team. This team includes specialists for lighting, sound, choreography and set design. To this end, the PFDC introduces the London based Mustang Productions, headed by Sadia Siddiqui, who will produce PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week for 2017. Further, the Pakistan Fashion Design Council will be engaging an international diversity of models to complement Pakistan’s top and burgeoning model lineup.

Secondly, the PFDC also announce a structural change to the show format whereby each of the four days will be designed into a curated and edited range of either solo designer or duo designer/high street retail/lawn shows divided between two entirely separate show spaces and two independent ramps within the same venue.  This comes as a deliberate move from the Council to grow fashion week into a more exclusive and premium platform allowing fashion houses rather more independent showcases within the fashion week diaspora and to therefore show to more selective and dedicated audiences.

“I believe fashion and the retail/showcase of it are always in a state of growth. It is therefore of critical importance that we as the Council respond to change as it happens and in fact lead the evolution where we can; be it to integrate the concept of independent, solo showcases within the folds of fashion week, pioneer a new concept of duo shows, introduce two independent show spaces et al. We have through the years set a precedent for change in order to better structure the discipline of a fashion week. This year we are delighted to take this belief to a new standard as we bring in a team of international experts to produce our show and we look to work on the definition of a new standard of how design can be presented, bearing in mind our ultimate aim, which is to further the business of fashion. We are as always extremely grateful to our teams from production and direction, our founding member HSY, all whom have worked tirelessly though the years to make our fashion weeks a success and bring us to where we are today.”  said Sehyr Saigol, Chairperson of the PFDC.
