MY HOOP EARRINGS COLLECTION (JEWEL SERIES PART 2)

Hi my lovelies How are you guys

Today we are going to witness my hoop collection and what I have in my mind while buying it so let's get started

HEXAGON HOOPS

The hexagon loops are from limelight and I got them as a gift for my birthday last year in December and since then I'm really hooked up to them

Like if I need to make sure my plain outfit is looking party appropriate then I just pop these on and I'm good to go

DIFFERENT TAKE ON HOOPS

First of all can you see how pretty these are

Pretty stylish classic all in one are best for both ethnic or Western dresses but you definitely need an occasion to wear them

LAYERED HOOPS

These are the one I got from fotress square 2 or 3 years back I really like these and especially because I chose them in white and gold instead of the black and gold ones because this is something which is not easily acceptable and people do ask you where you got these from

SILVER HOOPS WITH RHINESTONES 

This particular one are the basic classic loops with rhinestones on them perfect for a Sunday brunch or when you can't decide which one to wear.                                                                         

GRAPHITE TWISTED HOOPS 

Okay so I can clearly tell you guys that these graphite texture loops are my favorite

I mean I can wear them all the time whether it's a special event or a normal day in University 

I love the color the texture the size everything about them and the best part is I got them from barket market for RS 300 only

As you guys can clearly see I make sure I only buy different types of loops and not make them repetitive 

I hope you enjoyed a little sneak peek from my jewellery collection
UNTIL NEXT TIME

Review "Botanical Wonders Almond Scrub"

Hi everybody I hope you are doing well 

Today I am here with review I know it has been so long since I have done a proper old school style review but today we are here for that so today I will be reviewing the botanical wonders almond scrub

If you guys have been following me on my Instagram you would have known that I have spoken about this product time and time again but today it's time for me to review it properly and also to convince you guys to grab it because this is amazing for your skin

REVIEW 

For me this thing is a two in one thing it is a scrub as well as a mask

I'm a girl who has extremely sensitive skin and someone who doesn't believe that scrubs and mask help your skin too much but after using this I have a completely different opinion

It is extremely refreshing you just need to apply it for 15 minutes or until it's completely dry although you don't need to keep it for long. what I do is basically use it twice a week or before an important event or a function which it gives me a healthy glow and it really hydrates my skin

The best part is that it's not itchy at all 

It only hydrates and moisturize the skin

For all dry skin girls I would like to mention that after using this you will not have any dry patches or dryness on the skin and for the oily skin girls this scrub takes away the unwanted oil from your skin keeping it soft and beautiful

One thing I definitely want to mention here is that this scrub does help you with your acne which they have already listed but I thought it was just a gimmick but it does help you with your acne and it is also helpful for your acne scars. it makes sure that every time you use this scrub your acne scars will be lighter

This smells like pure almonds. I like to use it with a little bit of rose water mixed in with this scrub
Trust me this product is something you definitely need to have because this is perfect for your skin + it has the natural benefits of almond and so many other organic ingredients

I recommend this scrub to each one of you

PRICE AND FINAL VERDICT

It is nicely priced at rs 700 and you can use it more than 20 times which tells you how affordable this product is

Lastly I urge you guys to buy the botanical wonders almond scrub if you are suffering from any of the skin problems mentioned above or you want a healthy looking skin

Do I recommend it : definitely yes
My rating: 5/5 
You can order it from their website

Until next time:

Stay happy Stay healthy Stay real 

Thank you

DIY ACNE CURING GLOWING MASK

HI  Everyone and Welcome back to my blog 

So today I am going to share a mask which not only helps you fight your acne and acne scars but can also help you to achieve a good glowing Brighten face

So let's get started shall we

Now first if you have read the last log you would have known that I have talked about acne a lot in that blog but I wanted to give it a little more mention with the twist of having a glowing skin

So the best part of this mask is that every single skin type can use this depending on the concoction that suits you 

It's a readily available ingredient mask it not only gives you the glow but also moisturizers your face as all the ingredients are proven to make sure that you have less acne you have a good skin + obviously it is extremely cost-effective because all of the products are mostly in your kitchen or in the garden

So I know how it feels to have acne because I had it from the past whole year I have been facing it but now I am extremely better with the help of this d i y mask with the help of my d i y toner and also with the help of Saafi that I have mentioned in my January favorites 

I am going to teach you guys through the ingredients and at the end of it I am going to show you a picture of the mask

I definitely want to keep it sweet and simple for you to make it and to use it  

Ingredients are :

~ Aloe vera gel (natural)
~ Neem leaves
~ Honey
~ A little bit of lemon

So this is the mask that you can make however much you want to and you have to keep it in your fridge in a jar that is covered and you only take out how much you require which I believe is only a spoon is required

If you have extreme amount of acne you can use it every single day for me I used to use it every single day but now as my acne has come down I use it twice or thrice a week I recommend that you just need to apply this mask for 15 minutes or until it's completely dry you need to then wash it off with cold water remember you need to use cold water and you just need to rub your fingers into circular motion no soap use is allowed afterwards you are not supposed to apply any moisturizer any soap or anything for at least two hours so this mask work

Lastly I definitely hope that I could help you and you can also use this Mask before a function for glowing moisturized skin lf you don't have any acne you can use it even because it is extremely harmless

So that's all you guys I really hope you like the idea and I really really hope that you can try it and you get rid of your problems and it also helps lightens dark area of the face 

Hope you enjoy it

Until next time:

Stay yourself because you are beautiful

January Monthly favourites 2019

Assalamualaikum and welcome everyone I hope you are doing well

So today we have our monthly favourites now keep in mind that I will not be doing this every month but only the months I feel like

So let's get started

RIMMEL MATCH PERFECTION CONCEALER

Just as the name suggest this concealer is really perfection I really love the light coverage effects and also that it makes your under eyes look airbrushed from my dryyyy skin it really helps brightning and it doesn't sink into creases but if you are a full coverage concealer kind of a girl then you might not like this product so definitely keep that in mind but for me as I said this is perfect

RIMMEL LIPSTICK IN 700 TREND SETTER

 

Ok so this was an impulse purchase which I was watching a what's in my bag of a youtuber named Rachel Lee and I love her so I was watching her what's in my bag and I saw that she has this lipstick in her hand bag and I was just going to get some groceries that day then I just got this lipstick and I am so in love with this
It is a comfort matte formula it doesn't dry out your lips it doesn't feel heavy or anything and the best part is it is a bullet lipstick but it doesn't transfer so bad like most bullet lipsticks do so I love it and it is always in my handbag and I have been constantly using it in the month of January like every two three times in a week

STEEL COSMETICS BLUSH

This is a brand which I have never heard of I just went to a drug store and I really wanted some light peach colour but then I saw this and I was like I need to get this it is so light it doesn't make you look like oh my god you have so much blush on or anything it really looks natural it looks like you are actually flushing the color and this is super pigmented you if you want you can definitely increase the pigment but I really like keeping it light in beautiful and ever since I have got my hands on this I haven't stopped using it

MAKEUP REVOLUTION HIGHLIGHTER STICK "HYPNOTIC"

So this is the cream highlighter which I think I never have shown you guys but I have been using it for more than 6 months and I am in love I really like this cream highlight I really like how you can keep it subtle you can build it up if you want now I know personally that I am kind of a girl that like barely there kinda makeup but if you want that glow like the beaming one every single day you can actually achieve it with this highlight and only this I am seriously in love I most of the times don't even put a powder highlight on top of it because it is so beautiful itself  looks like meshed into your skin and I am seriously obsessed

ZARA RED VANILLA PERFUME

This is the perfume that I got a small size of in December because if I like it I would go and purchase the bigger size when this will be finished but I seriously love it this is my everyday fragrance it always stays in my handbag I really like the notes I really like the  suble vanilla added to it it's not extremely fruity it's not extremely sweet it's in the middle of a little musky and a slight girly just how I like my fragrance to be it is super long lasting as well and I have got so many compliments after wearing this on every day or on a night out

LUSCIOUS SMOOTHIE CLEAN

I have got this clean smoothie makeup remover on 1st of January and ever since I have got my hands on it I haven't touched the regular chemical remover and honestly the procedure is super super easy you just have to put it under the water and you can just massage it to your face to remove your makeup even waterproof makeup and you can afterwards wash it with an antibacterial hand wash now I have felt a difference in my skin  I have felt that I am not getting as much acne as I used to before when I was using the normal micellar water or wipes and I think I am never going back to them this is a little exfoliating it is super super super soft I love the colour I love how it works and removes every single particle of your makeup easily and lastly one thing added to it is you can use it up to 1000 times which means more than 2 years which is crazy it is extremely pocket friendly with this you just have to get it once and then you have to forget about anything for more than 2 years and it doesn't take any space and it is chemical free so that's why it is beneficial for your skin as well so I think if you are going to buy any product after reading this favorites blog I think you should definitely pick this one and ditch the chemical makeup remover

HAMDARD SAAFI

This stuff is a definite life saver I know it is extremely bitter but is worth it it cleanse blood in your body system which doesn't make you break out as often if you are suffering from acne and plus it does gives you a glowing skin now I seriously found so much difference after incorporating this into my life and I would definitely suggest if you are suffering from acne because I know how negative it can be because there's so many people commenting on your skin and you are also feeling so bad because you always think that's why this is happening to me and so on just trust me and just have it and you are definitely going to feel a lot of difference

DIY TONER

So around the month of February last year or I believe it's a last year in January I started having extreme acne on my face and which got worst in June July and even till November it was not calming down and I got so many pimples I've never had so many pimples in my whole entire life but now I was suffering from it I was suffering from acne and suffering from depression because there's so many people who say so many hard things who might even not know what you are going through but they feel the need to comment on it they feel the need to ask you the questions like why you have acne how come you have any when did you get this and how are you supposed to have acne and things like that which are really some ridiculous questions needless to say and I have faced all of it I was really really depressed I was really not in my zone it was hard for me to go out without makeup or even if I have to go out without makeup I could see the eyes of different people judging me which was definitely really uncomfortable then in December and January I started getting better with my skin I got extremely better with the help of the Saafi and with the help of this toner because saafi prevents from having pimples and this toner prevents me for having Scars for longer I definitely Highly erge you guys to try this diy toner out if you want a acne free skin a better confident skin or even if you want a glowing skin because it is definitely really important so I have a tutorial of this toner on my blog on my Instagram stories but if you want me to do it here officially on the blog definitely DM me and definitely let me know so I can help because I know having acne or having any type of insecurity is definitely not a good thing and I have been there
Now I am definitely not saying that it will work its magic in like a day or two it will definitely take time I am definitely getting better I have got 80% of my acne prevented and I am looking at my face and definitely seeing that how my scars have lighten up right now so definitely keep that in mind that patientce is the key

LO'REAL KERATIN SMOOTH OIL REPLACEMENT

I have been religiously using this after my shampoo instead of a conditional and it is a great hack to save you a lot of time it does make your hair super manageable less frizzy and also I think shiny as well so I really like it how it saves me a lot of time and it is something that you can use even if you don't have your hair damped and it is a multipurpose products that's why I love it

HEXAGON EARRINGS FROM LIMELIGHT

These earrings are a great thing to make your outfit a little more dressy and are very lightweight I really like this shape this style the Bling I love everything about these I got this as a gift on my birthday last year in December so if I have to go on somewhat not so casual but casual something like a Sunday brunch or a tea party you can call it I really like wearing this and I definitely can see that is a different take on a hoop earrings and I can make good use out of them because they are not heavy at all

ANKLET

So I have been really thinking about getting a anklet from a long time but I never got it ever just because I think that it is something different it is something that is not expected from a girl to wear but I always really wanted it and ever since I got it I haven't kept it down I have been wearing it every single day I love the colour I love how it is not Golden not silver not completely black it is the gunmetal type of a colour which I really like and I think it is edgy i think I got this on 6th 7th January and I haven't taken it off since then I have been really enjoying it I think it is giving me a sense that I am a little bit rebellious and I am also liberal which is a funny thing to say but I definitely think of it as that and I am really happy that I got this and I got it in this colour and I love wearing it

So that's all you guys I will really hope you enjoy it that I kept every single thing in this favorites I really hope that you also enjoyed how I kept it extremely real and how I told you guys my real story and I wanted to this year keep myself extremely real on social media not perfect but real I wanted my pictures to say about me about how how good or how bad I am but just to say the reality of what I do what I have and I really hope that I could convey something positive for this blog and for suggestions please please please do let me know if you want to see anything or everything I will try to do more and more blog but I can't promise anything because in the field of fashion designing you get extremely busy but I will definitely 100% try my best to stay positive stay connected and stay real

Until next time

Makeup kit for beginners under 5000 PKR

Hi everyone and welcome back to the blog so today I am here to help out those girls who have just started their college or maybe starting and have no clue about makeup (quality products) and are also on a budget

So I have arranged the mentions that are suitable for all skin types because when you are starting off you actually are not super sure about your skin type

And also all these products are used and repurchasd by me so many times so don't worry all the products are tried and tested

So let's get started

Garnier BB cream
795 PKR

If we have to wear makeup most of the days in the week why not keep it light and let our skin breath as well
For that I will go for a light BB cream instead of a foundation and I will lightly apply it on to the face and even if it's not covering completely please remember it is letting your skin breath and this Garnier BB cream is the best out there as it has Vitamin C as well as blemish controlling ingredients in here but make sure you get the oil free one it works best on all skin type

Rimmel Stay Matte powder
825 PKR

So I use to be super scared by the word "Matte" but once I tried it I haven't been able to put it down as it it the most airbrushed flawless powder which doesn't feel heavy or cakey at all and it prevents the oil and sweat coming on the face
My favorite way is to use it with a big fluffy brush and 1 thing is I never forget my eyelids which most people tend to

Makeup Revolution contour kit in C01 fair
650 PKR

This palette has all the 3 items you need to put on the face to give the color back to it

Bronzer
The cool and warm tones are perfectly mixed in this bronzer makes it super wearable on an everyday basis
Now this is the first thing in the trio I hit pan on

Blush
The pink coral color mixed with the golden hue makes it a perfect glowy blush  which makes you look like you are having a good day

Highlight
This highlight is the perfect shade to begin with not too golden not too peach and not too pink perfect for ones starting out
However you can make it sutle or intense according to your liking

Essence make me brow in 02 dark
495 PKR

Now this is a tinted mascara gel for your brows because it has the power of keeping your brows intact all day long plus the tint makes it easier for you as you just have to run it through your brows  without worrying of filling the brows in

Maybelline collosal kajal
350 PKR

If you are a kajal person you need this in your life it stays put and looks beautiful however you can use it as an eyeliner because it will be tough to start with other liner forms or you can just use it on the upper lashline giving it the appearance of Fuller lashes

Maybelline great lash
499 PKR

Now I'm sure everyone is familiar with this mascara as this is the mascara which get sold every 4 seconds and as you can see the years this has been awarded I don't think we need to know anything else to be sure

This is the best mascara for every day use you can keep it super natural as well as super volumizing and lengthning and let me tell you 1 bottle can last you a pretty long time

Essence Matt Matt Matt lipstick
420 PKR

This range of lipstick as a whole is amazing as it is Matte but unlike other Matte lipsticks this applies smoothly and it is creamy enough to make you feel comfortable also not to mention it is Long lasting unless you eat something extremely oily

Our total now is 4024 PKR

I almost skipped 1000 for you to maybe include a concealer or have variety of lip products

DISCLAIMER : I have taken all the pictures from the web just to follow a certain theme but you can see on my Instagram that I have featured the products in numerous pictures

Entice Cosmetics "Lush Matte lipstick" Review/Swatches

Hi everybody I hope you are doing well so today I'm actually here to review the liquid lipsticks that Entice Cosmetics were kind enough to send me along side some other products which I did review on my Instagram in case if you are interested to see but let's start with this one

Lush matte lipstick in Skinny Dip:

For a Normal Pakistani skin tone which is sort of light to medium this color is really nice however on my skin tone it is a little bit too fair to pull this color off that's why I really love using it as a bloated lip or mixed in with a more nudie shade however I would really like if they bring a more nude shade because the formula is amazing

Lush matte lipstick in Mocktail:

Sad that this color is getting discontinued because it is a very beautiful experimental color because with this type of a bright color you don't have to make much effort like apply it with a little bit of bronzer and mascara and you are good to go. It is definitely a nice edition to your summer lip collection however I like to use it as a slight blush and natural lip colour I just like to apply a dot on my lower lip and spread it all along it is so pigmented that it's enough for both the upper and lower lip


As for all the lipcolors are super super pigmented they last all day long no matter how much water you drink and whatever you eat this will last through it however the formula is little drying given the long lasting circumstances but just moisturise your lips well and you are good to go

I will give the lipsticks a 7.5/10
However I would love a more nude shade coming from them
And for the question that I have been getting is if I ever get a chance to work with them again I will definitely like to do so


Until Next Time:
STAY GORGEOUS

Mid Year Favorites

Hi everybody welcome back to the blog

I hope you guys are doing well and your eid went amazingly

So today I'm here to tell you guys about the things I'm currently loving and you guys have voted for the title on my Instagram poll so let's get started

Garnier Bb (Skin Active) cream 

So this is the bb cream I'm really loving as a foundation for my makeup for an everyday makeup and also for normal get togethers
I love the coverage because it's medium to builable plus I know they do suggest it for normal to oily skin but honestly I love this on my dry skin. It doesn't break me out which is definitely what I need
1 thing I want to mention here that the skin active bb cream is better than their skin naturals bb cream which is in the same tube but more yellowy and matte

Soph X Revolution eyeshadow palette 

This eyeshadow palette is definitely a win win it has all the neutrals as well as the pop of colors which you may need this palette is extremely versatile and this is the only palette you will need to create so many different eye looks because it does have a black in here which most of the drugstore palettes are lacking and all the matte and shimmer shades are nicely pigmented and buildable honestly she has done a great job with this palette

Luscious cosmetics Blush Remix palette 

So if you guys have been following me for a while you would have known that I'm not a blush person at all but ever since I got it I haven't been able to put it down luscious cosmetics is the only brand I use to get blushes from when I first started makeup because I know how pretty they are and my all time favourite blush is truly madly deeply from their basic blush line so you can understand how much important it was to get my hands on this blush palette and I'm not regretting my decision at all because I use every single color in here and I love mixing them as well

If you live in Pakistan and want a useable blush palette in your collection you need to get your hands on this plus I can see that it can be a staple in any MUAs collection

Entice cosmetics flat kabuki brush

Brushes are my favourite way to apply my foundation and this is a must have for me it is not as densly packed but gives your face the right amount of coverage without making any foundation heavy plus it is super affordable and I think it is a must have

J. Note Pencil in milk 2

By now you all may know that taupe and bronze are my favourite eyeshadow colors to use because it makes my Colored eyes pop so this is one of the reason I like this eyeshadow stick plus it is so easy to use because it is super creamy and once you apply it it automatically sets and doesn't budge I really like it on its own on the eye lid as well as an eyeshadow base

Makeup revolution shimmer brick in bronze 

I love this thing just to highlight my face I honestly only use the top 2 shades in this pan but I think this thing is totally worth it because of the highlight shade because although this is a Powder highlight but it looks like you have applied a glowy liquid Illuminater on the skin the powder is undetectable plus the mixture of the colors makes it look super pretty now this stuff is super pigmented but you can tone it down. My favourite way of using it is with the help of a fan brush

Mac lipstick 

I have heard people saying that mac lipsticks dry the lips out and doesn't stay on the lips for a long time but in my case it is completely different A) it lasts ages and even if I have eaten something very messy a subtle stain is still left B)  I feel that this is the most comfortable matte and I think it is so good even for being a lipstick in a bullet form

The shades shown are velvet teddy and mehr

Nyx soft matte lip cream

I'm sure you guys are definitely fed up of me raving about the Nyx soft matte lip cream but the formula is so good and buttery that I can't stop using it
It is so comfortable that you can't even tell if you have something on your lips

The shade is Abu Dhabi in particular because it's a MLBB for me but I also really like Sao Paulo as a bloated lip

Color studio lipstick in fury

This is a beautiful shade which honestly I used as a blush as well the a lipstick all the winters but even if I want a pop of color these days this is my choice

It is completely  matte and comfortable and what I love most is that it is not scented as my amma really gets irritated by scented lipsticks and she love using it as well and I'm definitely proud that it is a Pakistan based brand

Outdoor girl cosmetics lip liner

 Last but not the least is the OG cosmetics lip liner from their nudes with attitude range in the shade Mocha brown

This is my perfect nude lip liner which I use it before every lip color and even on its own it is so subtle and pretty and is so pigmented and soft to the lips I just picked up from alfatah 3 months ago not knowing about the brand and it turned out to be so good and is super affordable I definitely love it

That's all you guys let me know if you want to see a part 2 because I skipped so many products or you want to see one as the accessories or skin care edition I would love to do that plus do let me know if you want a full depth review regarding any of the products mentioned above

Until next time

Stay Gorgeous
