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:

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

Easy after eid lunches makeup look

Hi everybody I hope you are doing well so today I'm going to take you through a makeup tutorial that can make all the afternoon functions we have after eid and we don't know what to do with our makeup because a. If we apply very less makeup then we look less interested and also not fresh b. If we glam our look it looks that we are ready for something evening based not something for the afternoon but now I actually got your back

I will show you guys how to look effortless and flawless with less makeup so let's get started

Garnier Skin Active BB cream

First things first apply the garnier "Skin Active" bb cream on to the face now you have to apply the skin active one because it is the best to give you a slight dew it is suggested for oily skin but I have super dry skin and I absolutely love this stuff

Now I use to use the skin naturals one but I think this performs better and that one use to be a little darker on my skin but this one is perfect


Set it with the powder you like now I like to apply the Rimmel stay matte but you can apply any of your choice

Bronzer

I really like the look of a bronzer because it makes you look sun-kissed as well as natural at the same time so I apply my favorite these days the Rimmel Shimmer bronzer and trust me that the shimmers doesn't translate on to the skin

Cheek tint 
 Now after bronzing I slightly like to apply the Mana lip and cheek tint to my cheeks just 1 drop to give a healthy flush of the color

Highlighter 

I'm sure no one compromise on the youthful looking skin highlighter gives and I'm no different I like to highlight the relevant places with the help of the makeup revolution products HD Highlighter palette now I always mix and match the shades

Brows are the way to go

They say brows are enough to make a statement and I completely understand that so I just apply my essence brow gel on my brows in upward motion and they look beautiful

Mascara

Obviously no one can ignore the lashes I like to apply 2 coats of my Maybelline Great lash mascara and I'm seriously good to go

Lips

Now obviously we always like to change or mix and match colors so here are some options for the lips that I prefer

Setting spray 

Lastly I like to spray my Makeup revolution illuminating setting spray to give my face a dew as well as to marry everything together

And that's it your super easy and effortless makeup is ready

I hope you guys enjoyed it giving that I have written it in 20 minutes because I really wanted to post it before eid

Review MANA Beauty Spirit "Rose magic"

Hi everyone welcome back to my blog today I'm here to talk about a revolutionary product which is as the tittle suggest MANA BEAUTY SPIRIT "ROSE MAGIC"

So I got this product around 5 days ago and since then I'm loving it

It is infuse with so many amazing natural product that can help your skin look and feel better

THE PRODUCT

Comes in a dropper form the bottle contains 15 ml of product and by 15 ml they actually gives you that not unlike some gimmicky Pakistani brands who always have 50% off on their product but instead of 15 ml half of the bottle is empty but in this case they do provide you the standard 15 ml plus i really like their delivery service it got delivered to me in 3 days

WHAT THEY SAY?

 A natural blend of organic castor oil, floral water and rose absolute essential oil!  This one will get you the perfect rosy lips and cheeks. (taken from their Instagram page) 

WHAT IT IS?

A lip and cheek tint that is enriched with natural ingredients which can help your skin and lips look better and also feel good

HOW TO USE

Cheeks: Apply 1 drop on each check and blend it with your finger or with a brush but avoid beauty blender as it will soak the whole product. For me I think 1 drop each cheek is enough but if you want the color to be more opaque you can apply more

Lips: Apply 1 drop on each upper and lower lip and blend it and if you want the color to be more vibrant then apply as many drops as you like honestly it doesn't feel like anything but the color is lovely

okay for people who maybe are scared to apply it with the finger because they think the rosy flush might end up to their fingers but with this one you can easily wash it up with a little bit of water

swatch with just 1 drop

HOW LONG LASTING IT IS?

As it is a tint based on natural ingredients it will not last if it get contact with water or oil but I don't mind that

PRICE

I got it for 1095 including the delivery charges because they were having a 30% off at that time but good news is they still have 25% off which means you can get it for 1015+150=1165 rupees

You can get their products here

I hope you guys enjoyed the review

My JHUMKA Collection JEWEL SERIES PART 1

Hi everyone I hope you guys are doing well so today I have my jhumkas collection for you all

If you guys are coming from my Instagram you must know that I created A poll asking you guys what you want to see either the shopping haul or my Jhumkas collection and both of them got 50% so that's why I decided to do both so the last post was about my haul which you can check it out but right now lets jump straight to today's topic

THE CAGE
The first one's if you look them closely is like the logo on the sapphire bag and it is a very different take on this kind of jewellery piece, I like wearing this to my college as well as normal days

AMMA ONES

So both the earring are from my amma's collection and I like wearing them once in a while for a function 1 thing I have to add here that both of them are really light weight but they were very pricey

EAR STUD JHUMKA

This is something extremely unique because this is a stud then a jhumka it is really lightweight looks  like good and can go with every formal dress I really like how every time I'm wearing this and someone wonders that what is this

LIGHTWEIGHT GOLD PLATED

Okay so this one is the most light weight out of the more traditional ones it do have a matching choker but I mostly wear both of them separately because I like to balance my look now the earring was initially doubled but we got one part removed and there you have it the lightest of them all

HEAVIEST KUNDAN 

So as we have talked about the lightest it is fair that we also get the heaviest out of the way
I do think that these ones are the prettiest from the traditional lot and I always get questions from where I got them but let me tell you one thing these are the most heaviest to the point that your ear can start paining and these are the most expensive ones but I can't complain because fashion can sometime be a little painful

J. ONES

I know the tittle suggest that these beauties are from J. but they are not I actually got them from my favorite local jewelry shop for 150 PKR but after buying these I one day went to J. and I was looking in the accessories section and I saw the exact same ones for 750 PKR

THE LITTLE TRADITIONAL ONES 

This one is super small but it is traditional at the same time so I like wearing them with a more ethnic outfit for university or to tone down the urban feel to my outfit to tone it down and they are also nice for the casual meet ups

THE FIRST ONE

These are the ones  that I got in 2015 these are my all time favorite because it all actually started with this piece. this one is my first jhumka ever bought

THE DADDY OF THE J. LOOKALIKE 

This one looks pretty similar with the j. look alike one its just that they are a little bigger and the pearls are movable This is perfect to wear with any and every dress because of the color

DIFFERENT TAKE

These are a very different type of jhumkas I do like the style but because of the colors the outfits are restricted however I can wear these to change a dull colored outfit's color palette

ORANGE
This one has a pretty similar style from one the upper ones but I bought these entirely based on the color

That's it you guys I really hope that you have enjoyed the collection
I mainly like to keep more neutral colors in the collection so that I don't get restricted on the outfits to wear with them and to get the more use out of every piece I OWN

PLEASE do let me know what more you guys want to see from the JEWEL SERIES

UNTIL NEXT TIME:
