'According to a latest research conducted by  McKinseyon from  Periscope in 2018, about 70 percent  people out of 2,500 subjects shoeedr preference to shopping for consumer packaged goods (like clothing, cosmetics etc) online' . Due to easy access to huge range of items many people prefer shopping online. Infact many people prefer shopping for items online than visting retail stores in person. If you Look back a decade, very few people were familiar with online shopping in Pakistan. The concept of ordering goods online was unknown and there was a lot of distrust and uncertainty among the mases. The whole concept of online shopping was changed for good in 2012 after the birth of Daraz.pk

Today Daraz.pk is one of the biggest online shopping site in Pakistan. Though it intially started off as a sole provider of original goods daraz.pk later expanded the store's horizon and added over 25,000 sellers along with various local and foreign brands to its online platform.  Today Daraz.pk boasts of serving 5 million customers. Daraz offers vast assortment of products ranging from  electronics to household goods, fashion apparel, cosmetics and even groceries. Customers can avail multiple payment methods like cash-on-delivery, Jazz cash,  Telenor Easy paisa and even credit card transaction option.

Another notable store which has revolutionized the online shopping picture in Pakistan is Pakstyle.pk  .This all in one store offers everything from women fashion, men fashion, cosmetics, to Jewelry and watches. There is also a special section dedicated to Home goods. Pakstyle offers free shipping with every order. Due to reasonably priced items and prompt delivery. This is one of the popular online stores in Pakistan. This online store unlike walk in stores is open 24/7 . Pakstyles offers bundle deals which offer lowest price on common use items. Moreover Pakstyle has various discount deals on their store from time to time . They offer nationwide delivery service be it Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad or Sialkot.

Growing Trend of e-commerce is reshaping the future of  online shopping in Pakistan . More and more people prefer shopping online as compared to visiting a physical store these days. One of the biggest reason why online shopping is becoming popular in Pakistan is Infinite choice that shopping online provides. You can find various good with just a click. Moreover you can easily find  consumer reviews and get various discounts/cash back rewards with your purchase. Online shopping also makes price comparison easier. For working people this is very convenient as they can spare a few minutes in their busy schedule to make an order online.

Online shopping is time saving. It also saves one from being stuck in a crowd or traffic jam. You can make decision without feeling pressurized . You can also send your loved one gifts with just a click . You can also keep track of your purchase and keep an online record.  Many stores offer pre lauch offers and pre booking option online so this saves time and standing at long queue.

As they everything has it Pros and Cons but when it comes to online shopping the Pros out weight the Cons so it has more benefits than disadvantages.

Latest Women's Lawn Collections 2018 Online

So I am back with another fashion related post. Since the weather has changed a lot in past week I feel that now is the right time to discuss Lawn trends.
Honestly speaking summers is my least favourite season of the year. Please Winters Stay a little longer 😢
What makes the terribly hot weather a little more bearable is a glass of cool refreshing drink and a well stitched, good quality lawn dress.
Since many designer brands have already started launching their Lawn Collection for this year, I am going to shed some light on VS Lawn 2018

As always the collection is beautiful. A lot of bright colors are used in contrast to create stunning, feminine Lawn dress. What pleases me the most is that every piece in the collection has its own unique print design and have you checked out the price of these???
Its so affordable and easy on the pocket.
I am glad that digital prints have gone out of style ( not my favourite trend of 2017).
The current Lawn design look way more flattering plus the striking color selection os very pleasing on the eyes.
If wearing bright colors not your styles and you prefer muted pastel colors then I suggest you give Star Lawn 2018 collection a look, I promise you wont be disappointed at all.
This collection is suitable for older age women. The patterns are delicate and look sophisticated. This too is very affordable. Something  under 2000 Pkr.
 I am glad that with passing time more and more brands are coming up with very practical looking lawn collection. The designs are elegant and perfect for college and working women. Unlike many  main stream brands who release expensive  Lawn collections, Vs Lawn and Star Lawn have great  lawn suits which fit every budget. One of my favourite ways to shop is online shopping. If you are short on time and don't have the patience to walk through multiple shops to find the lawn dress you want, try online shopping you would be surprised to the see more variety in lawn brands, prints and designs. Best part you can shop from the comfort of your house and receive what you have purchase at your doorstep too.
Pakstyle has just update their store with new launches , Now you can purchase Latest Lawn Collection 2018 at there store. So grab your favourite pieces before they are gone

Happy spring season !!

[REVIEW] Natural Pacific Fresh Green Tea Seed Serum







 if you ask me about my favourite skincare ingredient right now I am going to choose green tea 🍵 Can't stress enough how beneficial green tea is for oily skin. It soothes and calms the skin, prevents breakouts, and brightens skin.You might have noticed by looking through my instagram feed that i don't have stable skincare routine as i am always trying out new sheet mask or essence but one thing that i have achieved during my Korean skincare journey is that my skin looks so much healthier and glowy than before 

I have been using this Natural Pacific  Fresh Green Tea Seed Serum for sometime now and I am seriously sold by its performance.this serum contains 84% Camellia Sinesis Leaf Water and a whole bunch of oils. you can see the picture if you want to  know more about the ingredient list


 The vial is made out of matte glass and has a dropper cap. packaging wise this is bit of a nuisance as a single accident/ incident of dropping can smash the vial to pieces :( so this is only suited for our vanity table or skincare basket

The texture is thin and water like and smells so nice( this healed the cystic acne on my chin and hairline) It absorbs into the skin like a dream. My skin feels hydrated without that oily /greasy feel. I haven't noticed much brightening yet but this works great in terms of calming and moisturizing skin.

though it looks light green in the vial it imparts no color whatsoever onto the skin 

I usually use 6 drops of this on my face and use this (every night i am not testing a new product)  before going to bed. My skin texture has definitely improved with this serum.


This retails for 27.10 $ on @stylekorean_global website


**PRODUCT SENT FOR REVIEWS ALL OPINION SHARED IS HONEST AND MY OWN**

Jessup 7pcs Basic Eye brushes set

I have been watching Michelle Phan for ages but no matter how many times i tried to re create her easy makeup looks they sadly never turned out the way they should have until i tried out this professional 7pcs Basic Eye brushes set by Jessup and understood the real difference a good makeup brush set can make when creating an eye makeup

the 7 brushes in this set are versatile they in my opinion can be used not just on eyes but on lips and cheeks too 



1.Eye Liner brush

Brush Length :15cm
Brush hair:Synthetic hair
Create smooth and even lines. Use with gel or liquid liners. 



as you can see the brush is a little on thicker side but you can easily create an winged eyeliner or my personal favorite the droopy puppy eyeliner look with it .the bristle are firm yet soft to create the perfect line. i think this can also be used to apply lipstick on the lips as its small and precise



2.Pencil brush 



Brush Length :16.2cm
Brush hair:animal hair
Soften and smoke out lines. Soften pencil liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes, or use to highlight inner corner of the eyes. 


this white goat hair brush is perfect to smudge eyeshadow under the eyes or to deepen the color in the crease, the hair on this are soft and maintain their shape even after washing. really love how you can use this  to create complex eye looks with this



3.Blending brush

Brush Length :17.5cm
Brush hair:animal hair
Blending Soft blended crease. Using just the tips to apply color, sweep back and forth through the crease for a diffused and blended finish.

 



an eye look is never complete unless its blended uniformly and this big fluffy brush is perfect for it . its soft black bristles are soft and sweep so well across the eyelid to blend all the harsh lines of eyeshadows. i have also used this to apply highlighter on the highest point of my cheeks and boy this is perfect


4.Eye Shading brush small

Brush Length :16.3cm
Brush hair:animal hair
Even application of color. Place color across the whole lid for an even and strong application of product. 



the shape of this brush is perfect to pack color on the lid. the bristles are soft and pick the pigments quite well. i also like to use this to place  eyeshadow under my eyes when doing an smoky eye look as its super soft and gentle





5.Large Shader brush 


Brush Length :16.6cm
Brush hair:Synthetic hair
Uniformly cover the whole lid with product. Apply cream shadow base or cream shadow for quick and even coverage.


i originally decided to use this as a concealer brush because the bristles are firm and rally help to place the concealer under the eyes but now i think this is also good at placing eyeshadow on the eyelid specially eye glitter and heavy metallic pigments


6.Small Angle brush 


Brush Length :15.2cm
Brush hair:Synthetic hair
Create precise lining. Moves fluidly and easily across the upper and lower lash lines. Use with gel, cream or powder products. 



wow the angle of this brush is perfect to create that sharp crisp cat eye or winged eyeliner look. the bristles are strong and upright and hold their position. moreover they can  also be used as an eyebrow brush



7.Medium Angled Shading:

Brush Length :16cm
Brush hair:animal hair
Soft application of color. Use for brow highlighting or to blend the crease.


this brush is perfect for placing highlighter under the brow or for that  nose contour. the bristles are soft and blend the powder products pretty well also the angled shape makes it easy to trace the outline of nose bridge 

final thoughts 

the ferrules of all these brushes is well and does not feel too heavy or too light. the handles are well made and very comfortable to hold and use. i particularly like this black and gold combination its so classy and chic. its advised to wash the brushes with mild shampoo to remove the smell but surprisingly i didn't detected any kind of harsh smell when using these brushes, i gave these brushes a wash and was surprised how they  the maintained their shade after drying. the bristles didn't shed at all  nor did they release any kind of color.

super pleased with  these. i think the quality of these brushes beats that of many high end brands not only are they super affordable but they are also well made. highly recommend you to try Jessup brushes i promise you wont regret your purchase 

can be purchased at the jessup website here for $11.98

IUNIK Vitamin Vitalising Hyaluronic acid toner

So I watched this video on youtube by gothamista and glow recipe where they shared a secret to glowing akin aka  The 7sin method. What is seven skin you ask? Well its a new toner application technique to get that glowing skin where you are suppose to apply seven layers of a hydrating toner  one later over another ( it does has to be 7 you can start with 3  and take it up to 5  depends on your preference. This technique is specially beneficial for dehydrated and oily skin.
The toner must be free from alcohol and actives
I have only two toners in my skin stash and only one of them was fit for this skin routine
Its IUNIK Vitamin Vitalising Hyaluronic acid toner
The bottle is well made and sturdy and there is a stopper with a small hole through which you can dispense the product

Initially when I looked at the viscosity of the toner I was under the impression that its going to be a thick tacky toner which is going to take ages to absorb but I was so surprised when I placed a few drops of this on my palm. The texture though viscous absorbed so easily into my skin and my skin felt soft and hydrated. There is  mild scent which disappears within a minute or so . its safe to say that this toner is suitable for all skin types ( yes this includes oily skin )
The star ingredients in this toner
Are Hyaluronic Acid intensive hydrating and smoothing fine lines and
Hippophae Rhamnoides  (Sea Buckthorn) fruit extracts which posses potent antioxidant qualities and 0% alcohol

As for the seven skin method I did enjoy trying it out but I wont be incorporating this method to my skin care routine because
1. This methods makes such huge dents in the product in a single day
2. What should I do with the all the hydrating face creams that I have in my stash
3. I feel too lazy to apply more skin care products to my skin after this method so my other skin treatments get neglected
In short this  IUNIK toner is perfect all year round toner and the price is pretty good considering the amount you get
I would highly recommend you all to try out this toner I promise you wont regret it
Retails for around 16-17$ and can be purchased here at IUNIK website
