Easy peasy "Mongo Delight" recipe

Hi every I hope you are all well

As ramadan is almost over but still the weather is super hot and it might not be easy for everyone and prepare time consujing iftaari for others while fasting yourself so today I'm going to share a secret recipe to make the regular mangoes even more tasty and luxurious and the best part is it's super easy you don't have to stand in kitchen for long so lets get started


Things you will need?

3 to 4 medium sized mangoes
2 packs of Nestle cream (you can use any but I prefer this one)
2 table spoon suger
1/4 cup of milk
Jelly of your choice (I'm using strawberry)

Method

First things first you need cook the jelly by putting 2 cups of water (remember we want the consistency to be thick because it will be easy to work with) and add the jelly mix then stir until there are no bumps and its ready boiling then remove the pan from the stove and let it get a little normal for five minutes then pour the mixture in a huge dish and leave it there then on the other hand slice the mangoes in cubes then you need to store them in the refrigerator (jelly and mangoes both) then here comes the cream pour it into a bowl and add the sugar in here and mix it well then to change the consistency slowly pour the milk in to it and mix as well once you are done check the jelly if it is ready and if it is you are good to go slice the jelly in cubes or rectangle with the help of a knife then lay all the mangoes on an empty dish pour the cream mixture there after the mangoes and the last step put the jelly on top to finish the dish and serve it


It's definitely a surprise for little ones to see mangoes hidden in the dishes plus it tastes heavenly I'm sure once you try it you'll know what i actually means and you didn't have to spend hours in the kitchen to prepare it

I hope you liked today's recipe please do give me some feed back on how you liked it plus if you want me to cover any other recipes and be sure to follow me here as well as on my social handles


Until Next time :

Review/Swatches Morphe x Kathleenlights palette

Hi everybody and welcome back to my blog and if you guys are new here then help my name is laiba and I make beauty and fashion related contact here on my blog

Today I got you guys a review of a palette which I have been testing out from like more then 2 months to give you guys a complete review so let's get started with ten review of Morphe x Kathleenlights collab palette




A little about Kathleenlights:

So I'm sure every single one of you know that who is she because she is a super famous YouTuber but it's my take on her so I feel like she is one of those YouTubers that I can watch and relate to plus she is such a humble person unlike other famous YouTubers and she is seriously the only YouTuber I buy collabs of and will continue to do so


About Morphe ?

Morphe is basically a social media brand which now do own a shop but that's the brand that basically gets hyped up due to the YouTubers raving about it because of the 10% off code they give their audience and through which the commission they received now I am not by any means bashing Morphe I own some of their palettes and will continue to buy on but in the past couple of months they have been getting mixed reviews and cases that they send YouTubers more higher quality product and sometime not the audience through social media so keeping that in mind I am going to start my review



Packaging :

The palette comes in a black box with the name and lights as a design and on the very back it has a pic of Kathleen and a sweet message from her written on it so the palette itself is Matt black card board with the name written with red colouring is with the magnetic closer when you open it you can see that there is no mirror like all the other Morphe palette have but it is still different from all of them



Palette itself :

The palette has 15 oh so gorgeous shades which are drawn towards the warmer neutral but with green pop of colour and because I have green grey eyes the green shade does compliment me quite a lot now I have decided to show you guys the fake one as well and will tell you some difference so you can actually trust the real page that the page is not selling on the fake one


My Review

Before telling you what I think about it I want to clear a small thing that the review of the YouTuber/Bloggers who got sented the Palette by Morphe are different from the one who purchased them from the Morphe website as well shocking right ? But this is what happening these days so now let's get started with the review and swatches it has 7 shimmers and 8 mattes in here now some of the shades Morphe actually have already in their line and some Kathleen created the palette is definitely very versatile obviously you can't go wrong with the neutrals and I have to say that warmer and mauvey neutral are right up my alley plus this palette has given me confidence to wear green on already green eyes and it will for sure look amazing on Brown eyes but I like mixing the 2 greens together to make an extremely beautiful green and place it on the center of my eye for a halo effect or like to do a more green based Smokey eye with a warm transion shade now I honestly think this is a palette when you first time use it you will be like what is this but the more you use it the more you will love it I honestly love this palette I seriously love this palette I am travelling with only this palette ever since I got it now I like 13 out of 15 shades and 2 of them I don't like which you will see now


these shades doesn't swatch well on the arms you literally have to scrape this metal dark plum and black with the nails to get it their but with the brush they surprisingly perform really well

Swatches:





Overall I am really impressed with with what Kathleen has created like literally this palette speaks for her and Morphe also have done a pretty good job I give this 4/5 mainly because I love the pigmentation and colour pay off on most of the shades

So that's pretty much it do tell me if you have tried this palette and please come follow me here and on my other social medias

Until Next time:

Review on "Himalaya Neem face wash (prevents pimples) "

Hi everybody and welcome back to my blog

So today as I'm in my 2nd house in another city so I thought why not share one thing that I have been loving using these days with you guys which is a skincare item and honestly these days I'm obsessed with skin care and love investing in skincare rather than makeup, So without further rambling let's get started


Packaging:
It comes in a sqeezy tube with a dark green lid the tube is basically transparent but the inner product means the facewash itself is of lime green color but on the tube their is a sticker which has the name on the front and other information on the back

Product itself:
Product itself claims to be a natural soap free herbal formulation non chemical based neem formula which prevents pimples and is suitable for all skin types and it helps clearing up all the impurities gently

My take:
So I have already a whole complete tube of it so I'm not new to this formula and the neem and turmeric qualities are definitely helping me fighting the recent pimples I'm going through I never use to have pimple on my skin from 2 3 years but these days I'm definitely suffering from one or two but this thing is definitely helping me out as the property suggest and 1 thing that I'm most happy about is that this formula is not drying my skin out plus all the oils on my skin are definitely not showing up I was using another himalaya face wash just before this one and I honestly hate the formula. People think that it's a formula which is only suitable for oily skin but it's an all skin types suitable formula and one thing I really want to tell you guys one thing that if you do get pimples on the skin that seriously doesn't mean that your skin type is oily it can be on any and every skin type and having pimples can have numerous reasons so instead of using only oil free products on the skin first try to identify the real skin type of yours or try something like this which is suitable for all skin types I honestly love this stuff and I thought I will not like it at all but no it's amazing and the scent of it is super mild I will for sure recommend this stuff to all the girls out there
I will give it a 5 🌟
It is priced at 225 rs

Do tell me if you guys have any other requests for me to blog on

Until next time:

Review/ Swatches of I ❤ OBSESSION "Paris" pakette

Hi everybody Welcome back I hope you guys are doing well

So today I'm going to review the I heart makeup Paris palette which if you guys didn't know was in my birthday giveaway which I did in December so it will definitely be interesting if I review it for you guys so you all know the real thoughts of mine so let's get started


Packaging:

So it comes in a black case but the top portion is transparent as like the makeup revolution iconic range. I ❤ Obsession is written is written on the top but it is mention on the back that it's their Paris addition the palette has 10 different shades

My thoughts:

Now I really don't care about the others but i had to have this palette in my collection because of the colours plus it's the most sold out one from all 4s now I really like how pigmented and easy to work with these shades are and the dual chrome grey from the first row is my definite favourite whenever I have to use a grey I reach for this one there is only 2 matte shades and 8 shimmer shade in this palette now one thing this palette is lacking in is a good transition shade and for that I have to reach for another palette or a Bronzer but for the price I really don't mind. I really like the pigmentation of the palette but while swatching they feel a little bit powdery

TOP ROW

BOTTOM ROW


Price and final take

It is priced at Rs 650
I got mine from daraz.pk
I will give it 4/5 stars

So that's all I have to say about this palette I really hope you guys enjoyed reading my review do let me know in the comments if you have used this palette and what do you think about it

STARBUCKS Inspired "Caremel Frappuccino Coffee Blend "

Hi everybody Welcome back I hope you guys are doing well

So today I have got you guys a recipe of Starbucks Inspired " Caremel Frappuccino " ( Coffee  blend ) I had when I was in Saudia Arabia and because we don't have Starbucks in Pakistan that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy it

One thing I have to proudly say that recipe taste exact like their one and I tried to keep it as locally possible as I can So every one can try it so that's why I'm using a simple standard cream instead of the wiped one


Recipe

Coffee  ( Any I prefer Matinal ) 
Milk 
Hershey's Caremel Syrup  
Cream 
lots and lots of ice
Sugar ( optional ) 
Water ( optional )



Method

( These are 2 ways I am using the water Method but you can exclude the water and put every thing in blender straight up ) 

I am taking 1/4 glass of water and mixed 3 tea spoon of coffee and 5 Table spoon of Hershey's Caremel Syrup and then add 1 Table spoon of sugar and mixed it all well 

Then I pour the mixture and half litter chilled milk in the blender and mixed it away then just right before serving the coffee put loads of ice in it and then press the lowest speed of the blender so the ice can finally get crushed and you can even enjoy the same texture of like the Starbucks one 

So that's it for today Do try it out and let me know you like it and if you do so then don't forget to tag me 

         
                              Until Next Time

My Everyday Go To (less than 10 minutes ) makeup

Hi Everyone and welcome back to my blog I hope you guys are all doing well

So for today's post I have gathered the products that I have been loving or using every single day for a "Less than 10 minutes makeup" to make myself look a little more presentable or put together I would say so without further ado let's get started



☆ Garnier BB Cream 
First Step I like to put on some BB Cream all over my face not forgetting the eyelid area now this particular BB Cream is best in my opinion because it's extremely light in coverage and that's what I want because I like my skin peaking through a little bit plus it suits my dry skin so well it just makes the makeup look extremely natural which is perfect for everyday purpose



☆ Eyebrows 

There's nothing new here same 2 brow products that I'm sure you guys are tired of seeing but I love them. So to fill them in I use this Rivaj Cosmetics Eyebrow pencil in the Brown shade and then to set them in place I coat them all with the Essence cosmetics Make Me Brow in the shade "brownie brows 02" so they do not budge all day long I honestly swear by this combo for the longest time



☆ Give Yourself a Sunkissed Glow

Then I use this illuminating Bronzer from Palladio Cosmetics in the shade "Atlantic tan" which if you guys are following me on instagram you would have seen this so many times already I love the sheen and the natural glow it gives rather than looking shimmery or anything because I know we usually get illuminating Bronzers with shimmery particles but this one is free from them so I pretty much use it on all the bronzing areas with a big fluffy brush and also on the crease area on my eyes with an eyeshadow blending brush ever since I got this product I seriously can't consider anything else to Bronze Be it drugstore or high end



☆ Mascara time

So then I go ahead and use 1 coat of the "Essence cosmetics false lashes Dramatic volume" I have been obsessed with this mascara ever since I got it I would say that I don't like to use a waterproof mascara for everyday purpose but if you feel comfortable in wearing a water proof mascara then feel free to use one
1 thing I want to clear out that the mascara says Dramatic volume but it doesn't give you enough volume but lengthens the lashes pretty amazingly



☆ Lips

And then I just apply this ESSENCE MAT lipstick in the shade "02 Perfect Match" now 7 times out of 10 no actually 9 times out of 10 I wear this lipstick I'm just obsessed with this color it's the perfect mauve nude that anyone can ask for it is perfect for everyday use nothing too crazy just perfect as the name suggest and it is so comfortable on the lips which is a definite plus




So that's about it I really hope you find it helpful in some ways, this look is so versatile it's not way too much or too less for everyday and you can mix and match this look by say changing a lipcolor or winging the eyes out or using a different coverage foundation and make sure to powder your skin if you are oily I personally don't powder my skin on an everyday bases
So this is my take on using less products and still looking somewhat together and because it's light it is perfect for the summers by keeping it to the point instead of caking it up
