MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW 20 - Review

Battling dark circles and having a brighter under eye has become my makeup goal and while I should be concentrating on fixing this problem by eating better and sleeping like a normal person, I'd rather use the weapons of makeup to try and fix this. Ever since I discovered the power of a concealer, there is rarely a day that I go without it and I have quite a variety of concealers in my collection from high-end to drugstore. After reading rave reviews on the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, I decided that I needed to get my hands on this asap. I landed at Al Fatah at Lahore only to discover that they did not have NC 20 available. But of course the makeup craving got the better of me and 10 minutes later I walked out with NW 25.

Colorpop Lippie Stix - Review

Who doesn't appreciate a good lipstick, and that too at a budget-friendly price? Colourpop Lippiestix have met all these requirements and presented us with great quality, affordable lipsticks in a huge variety of colours and finishes, that is actually becomes hard to choose which one to pick! I picked out 3 matte Lippiestix initially (all those who follow my blog regularly know that I am strictly a matte lip person) and then ordered another one from their Fall 2015 Collection, which is why it is not pictured. So currently I own Brink, I <3 This, LBB and Dazed, all with matte finishes.

MAC Retro Matte Lipsticks - Review

I have always stopped myself from jumping on the MAC bandwagon in fear that I will get addicted. And needless to say, my fears were justified because I ended up buying not one, but two MAC lipsticks within a week. I was searching for MAC lipstick shades for my sister, whose birthday was coming up and when I saw All Fired Up, I couldn't help but go crazy. It was such a beautiful and wearable shade and I planned to get my hands on it as soon as possible. And with that, All Fired up entered my life. But that was not the stop for me and on my next trip to Al-Fatah, I ended up buying Relentlessly Red after which I became broke, else I am pretty sure I would have bought another lipstick and as I write this review, the craving for another Mac Lipstick is kicking in and I am contemplating getting Taupe or Kinda Sexy. Ufff, there is no stopping me! *hits head in wall* I think before I start googling more shades, I should move onto the review.

Sephora Cream Lipstain in 03 Strawberry Kissed - Review

Lipstains, especially matte ones are the rage these days. The formula is a little drying, but a matte lip lover like myself, is prepared to overlook that and in all honesty, a matte lip, no matter how drying doesn't bother me in the least bit. I was casually surfing the internet one day when I came across this Sephora Lipstain in the shade Strawberry Kissed and it took one look for me to fall in love with the color. Hot Pink is my total fave as far as lip colors are concerned! Unfortunately, I was not prepared to wait for it to come, so I asked my cousin coming from Canada to get it for me and needless to say I was super happy and excited with my purchase! Read on for a review on this delicious delight!

the Balm Bahama Mama - Review

The most important thing that I learned from Wafa Khan’s 3-day Master class was that contouring is always done using a cool-toned brown powder or cream.

Luckily for me Ethnic Village was having its clearance sale and I ended up practically stealing this.

NARS Blush in 413BLKR - Review

No blush lover's collection is complete without a NARS Blush and given the wide range of color choices available it is extremely hard when you want to narrow it down to a single blush.

Party Makeup by Madeeha's - Review

Madeeha's is one of the leading salons in Lahore with a line of bridal makeups to suit every pocket. When my Mamu's (uncle) wedding was decided, I was given the task to decide and book a makeup artist for the valima function (ofcourse :p) Even though I am very much capable of doing my own makeup, I thought that this is a good opportunity to try out one of the leading salons for party makeup and see what they do differently.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick in Peach Club - Review

Bourjois products have never really tempted me but when my sister bought this lipstick in the shade Ole Flamingo, I immediately fell in love with the product. The packaging, the lipstick and the fact that it was matte made me fall head over heels in love with it. However, it turned out that, like me, everyone else loved them too and therefore, these were out of stock everywhere in Islamabad.
