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

"Foundation Routine" for Dry Skin

Hi everyone I hope you guys are well
And I know I'm posting after ages because of my study and stuff but let's start again

So if you guys know me you would know that I suffer from extreme dry skin problems and obviously it is even harder to do your foundation/base with such skin problems but now i do have a routine which can make your skin look beautiful personally and in pictures as well So let's get started

Please note that I will only be discussing the foundation portion but if you guys want to know what primers I use or what skin care steps I take please feel free to ask

My Foundation Routine:

First things first I like to take my Makeup Revolution Strobe cream then I mix equal amount of Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in the strobe cream and dot it on my face
now I would like to mention here that I know that if you have textured or pigmented skin then you would have to mix more foundation as you go

Once I'm done with the mixing and applying I like to take either REAL TECHNIQUES buffing brush or SIGMA F80 flat top kabuki or BEAUTIFY BY AMNA Foundation brush depends on which one is clean that day but honestly I love them all but still if I would have to choose then hands down I will be choosing the SIGMA one

Just before buffing my foundation I like to spray my brush with some of Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Illuminating Spray to further make my foundation look more illuminating and natural at the same time and then I buff my foundation away then just after that I like to set the face with my Essence Cosmetics Strobing Highlight powder which is a satin finish powder and will not cakey at all

Trust me my foundation does look beautiful and I have received a fair share of compliments because of this trick which I have been using since 7 8 months on every special occasion

So if you have dry skin please do try this and let me know your thoughts

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

October Monthly Favorites

Hi Beauties!!
I hope you are all doing well

So for today I have my monthly favorites for you guys ,So let's get started

First things First I wanted tell you guys that because October is the start of winters and my skin start becoming super dry so to prevent that I used a lot of skin care-y stuff so for this time I'm going to break my favorites into 2 sections

Skin care

The Body Shop "Vitamin E face mist" 

So if you guys follow me on my Instagram You would have already known that this one is coming. In every single mention of my #lotd this was in the picture and I'm not even guilty that I paid a little bit extra for this from Alfatah Lahore as compare to the actual body shop outlets because it is so amazing and I'm pretty much using it every single day and night this seriously have taken away my love for Mario Badesco aloe rosewater and people do think that they are dupe for each other

VASELINE body lotion Intensive care "Deep restore"

Now I'm such a huge fan of Vaseline products and this stuff is no exception I use this in the morning and just before going to bed and I seriously can see my skin breathing and my cuticles healing plus the mild smell of it doesn't irritate me at all because its not chemically or anything

Garnier Micellar Water

This is the makeup remover I always reach for since june whenever I have to take my makeup off because this stuff is super gentle on the skin this doesn't irritate or it's not clingy on my dry sensitive skin plus it doesn't dry me out what so ever

Makeup Stuff

Betty Lou-manizer 

It is the most beautiful gorgeous glowy bronzer which can be used for an overall glow or just to give a little bit warmth to the face and yes it is highly pigmented and I can surely say that this is my favorite of all the manizer sisters

Luscious highlight "Star light"

This is the most beautiful the most gorgeous and the most affordable highlight in my opinion I'm such a huge fan of this highlight it is beautiful in each and every way for example it can be as blingy or as natural you want it to be it can even be a brow bone highlight plus an eye shadow topper the color itself is super gorgeous and flattering on most of the skin tones it is the best highlight be it drugstore or high-end but sad part is that it is so underrated

Essence silky touch blush "Indian summer"

Now it took me at least 2 years to actually buy this shade in particular because I use to think it is such a basic nude but it's actually not it is such a glowy peachy nude color which is super flattering on the skin to give the cheeks a glowy pretty and healthy flush of color whenever you are too glam on the eyes and lips you can combine this blush with you look

Clazona beauty liquid lipsticks

Now I cannot tell you guys so much about these because I will be reviewing them soon but right now I can just say that these are the most comfortable and non drying lipsticks that I have came across till date

So that's pretty much it for this monthly favorites and I want to say SORRY for not uploading much this month because I was busy in some personal stuff but THANK YOU for all of the love and support that you guys give me

Until Next time:-

STAY POSITIVE!!!

My go to nail options for the Fall/Winter

Hi everyone welcome back and I hope you guys are all well

As you guys know that I haven't posted anything this week that is just because my WiFi was not working but now I'm posting finally
So today I'm going to share my 4 go to fall/winter nail color/ the colors I mostly reach in winters, So let's get into it and some tips and tricks regarding nail polishes

Number 1 Genny "315"
This is a darker red color kind of an Ox red which is super fall appropriate because it just gives an amazing fall vibe instead of the bright red color (this polish is a little bit dry so in the picture its not looking that pretty)

Number 2 Essence "52 Amazed by you"

So it's a darker mauvy purple which is a definite must have for the fall because as you guys know mauve and burgundy colors are so on trend every fall and because this polish is a gel formula it is super easy to apply

Number 3 Golden Rose "137" We all know how much everyone loves a black nail polish but this one is not just an ordinary black but It"s a black with some finely milled grey silver glitter in it which just gives it super pretty affect and to be honest this is my favorite color in all of the colors I'm mentioning and it's coming from a girl who doesn't like to wear black color

Number 4 Maybelline color show "150 Mauve kiss"
Just as the name suggest it is a very pretty mauve color but it is a muted mauve mixed with some brown tones and it is perfect for those days when you don't really want dark nails or don't feel like going full glam with the nails this is the PERFECT color

Tips and tricks
Now on to some tips and tricks on how to apply the polish:-

1~ First thing thing is when you will be opening your nail polish/color you need to make sure that there is no Fan or AC on this will make sure that your nail polish bottle will last you longer and doesn't dry out plus it will also make the application process smooth

2~ Instead of applying your color placing your nails on the opposite side of your face you need to place your nails inwards to your face if I make any sense LOL The other way I can tell you guys is the way i bend my fingers in all the pictures do that it will make it super easy

3~ try to give your nails some time like use a buffer before applying the nail polish it will look super pretty

4~ If you want a perfect smooth nail color you want to make sure that you apply at least 2 coats but after applying 1 THIN coat try to wait for about 5 minutes to make it completely dry then apply the other coat this will help to apply smoothly and with a more opaque color rather then applying the 2nd coat before the first coat is dry and mess up the whole nail

5~ For long lasting results which will last you a week try to apply a top coat after the 2 layers

So that's it for today's blog I hope you guys enjoyed as much as I did writing it for you guys

Now my nails need some rest because they are dying after facing so many nail colors just in 1 day

Until Next time

STAY GORGEOUS!!!

Fall/winter lipsticks option (mauve, berry and plum) inspired

Hi beautiful ladies welcome back to my channel

So if you guys are following me on Instagram then you will already know that this blog is coming. As we all know fall is coming and its all about that dark lip trend not only the reds but also some intense mauves and plums which I enjoy a lot so I have decided to show you guys some options which you can totally rock starting from the lip liner to the liquid lipsticks in today's post I'm trying to cover each and every lip category for you guys so I hope you will find at least 1 for yourself

Let's get started

Lip liners

Essence long lasting lip liner (10 berry on my mind)

It is a very wearable color for the people who In case don't like to go full on glam but still wants something to make their lips fall appropriate this lip liner is perfect for them. This color has a mauve undertone with more pink to it

Femina Long lasting lip liner (F-411 Cherry Red)

With this lip liner I will completely disagree with the name because this one has a perfect blend of maroon and plum which is so perfect for fall. you can flaunt this lip liner all on it's own or else you can wear it underneath or on top of a lipstick as well. it is so perfect yet so affordable. Now I myself have wore this lip liner when I wanted to do DEEPIKA PADUKONE 2014 Iifa inspired look for a function in my family with 2 other lipsticks on top

Essence Lip liner (Satin Mauve) 

So I know this liner has been discontinued by Essence but still I got my hands on it in September after searching so much and If you guys can still buy it then I'll definitely say that It is worth buying, So as the the name suggest satin mauve yeah it is. This is perfect for those who want hint of nude with mauve as their everyday lip color

LIP BALM

Maybelline Baby Lips (Pink Shock)

I wanted to include a lip balm in the options for those of you who are just starting makeup or for those who don't like the dark lip trend or going out full glam, The maybelline baby lips is a perfect option for you Now I know it is pink but still it has a fun purple element going on. so it has 2 benefits the lip protection + lip color

Lipsticks in a pencil form

Rivaj UK lipstick pencil (024 Brown sugar)

This color is very muted tone of mauve. it is like hidden mauve in a very cool tone brown which makes it wearable but a little bit glam at the same time

Essence Glossy stick (Brilliant burgundy)

So this shade is a glossy finish for those who don't or can't wear matte lipsticks in general this stuff has plum undertones which makes it super fall appropriate

Lipsticks in bullet form
Clinique lipstick (A Different Grape)

Now this lipstick is super creamy/easy to apply and the color is very wearable for fall time during some simple outdoor lunches this will look perfect. It is a perfect blend of brown and plum in one which is a rare shade

Rimmel moisture RENEW lipstick (380 Dark Night Waterl-oops)

As you guys can see the Berry tone lipstick is perfect when you want to go a little bit xtra glam without having to worry about the dryness because this is super moisturizing and it does go on super smoothly just in 1 swipe

Essence lipstick (Barely there)

This lipstick is a perfect dark nude with the mauve under tone so this will be perfect on the normal days or for those people who doesn't like the dark lip

Flormar Lipstick (525)

This lipstick for me discribes the perfect plum color which is super moisturizing non drying and literally this can stay put for 8 hours at least which for a moisturizing lipstick is insane

Lip Gloss

Essence XXXL Long lasting lip gloss (Berry cream 10)

This is a lip gloss with a velvet matte finish for those who don't like to wear liquid lipstick but still want a matte affect. It doesn't dry down so you can still feel the lip cream instead of feeling the dry lips

Liquid Lipsticks

Beauty Uk Lip MATTER (07 Mauve your body)

As the name says mauve I myself feel like it is the best pure mauve color here and it dries down complete matte plus doesn't make your lips dry

Color pop (lumeire 2)

Now i will be honest with you guys that I was planning to do this whole fall lipstick inspiration from a month but actually was waiting for this color, Now this color is a mixture of plum and mauve plus so much of cool tone but still it is very drying 

So now that's pretty much it. I hope you guys found it helpful because honestly this was too tough
Comment down below and tell me which one is your type and

Until Next time
STAY HAPPY AND FALL READY!!!
