Essence stay all day 16hr foundation in 03 soft porcelain

hello girls how do you do?

after a use of an year and a half i finally ran out of my makeup revolution matte effect foundation so i purchased this foundation by essence on a whim from beautybar.pk

the stay all day 16hr foundation range has been around for a fairly long time but unfortunately none of the shades in the range matched my skin color they all very too dark and orang-y so when they introduced a new shade to the range i was hopeful that it might match my skin color this time
 but to when i opened my order and swatched it on the back of my hand it was a little darkk and pink for my skin

in the beginning i was very disappointed but on a suggestion of a friend i decided to mix it with a lighter foundation and  now i love it

Quantity ; 30 ml

Price 690 Pkr

Packaging : sturdy plastic  bottle with a dispenser, vert hygienic and travel friendly, cap is secure whole packaging is not bulky

about the product;

this is not a matte foundation . it has a moisturizing formula which is like creamy easy to apply and blends quite well too, in trem of coverage it provides medium coverage, my acne scars a still visible after application the shade 03 porcelain leans on the pink-ier side .
its long lasting but now upto 16hrs . starts to fade after 8hrs
it doesz not controls oil and and neither claims to do so

if you have dry or normal skin this foundation is for you or if you wear a different foundation in winter then you should definitely check this out

Clazona 24 hr matte lipgloss

Every one has been going crazy over the launch of Kylie Jenner lip kits,  i have seen so many rave views that now i am also curious to try out the product and see what the hype is all about but firstly my financial conditions do not allow me to dish out so many dollars for the lipstick secondly its so hard to get a authentic makeup product in Pakistan . i have seen a lot of shady Facebook pages popping up lately claiming that they sell original branded makeup 

so to ease the empty feeling in my heart i decided to order color pop but before i could place my order i discovered this gem of a product manufactured by a local Pakistani brand,

Clazona a pakistani makeup brand is bringing out quality makeup products in the market for a long time and these matte lipgloss are no exceptions

they do exactly what it says on the tube, stay on the lips for 24+ hrs

Quantity: 6 g

Price: 150- 200 Pkr

Packaging :

just a like an ordinary lipgloss with a doe foot application , tube closes securely so no leakage

About the product: 

its a opaque lipgloss which  drys to a matte finish, has a faint chemical scent, does not budge or smudge , totally water proof , not drying or uncomfortable on the lips , a very thin layer is suitable for flawless applications
drys off quite fast so you have to be very quick when applying it which also means that its very hard to correct mistakes 

do  exfoliate your lips befire applying else its going to look like like your lips are flaking off

survives after meals , very long lasting 

i have this lipgloss in two shade
one in shade # 504 qnd the other in shade #507

Shade #504 is a dusty nude shade looks beautiful and natural on the lips

Revlon colorsilk hairdye in shade deep burgundy

i dyed my hair for the first time this year, i was unsure which brand to try so after alot of reseach andr reading a lot of reviews i decided to purchase Revlon color silk hair dye in two different shades,

 50 Light ash brown

and  34 Deep Burgundy

 read on to know more about my experience

the box come with a developer bottle which has nozzle, another bottle which contains dye , a sheet of instructions, a pair of gloves and a sachet of conditioner 

the instructions are very easy to follow

hair should be clean but not freshly washed

they should be dry not wet

no hair product or conditions should be in the hair

According to the instructions i mixed the contents in the ratio 1:1 in a plastic bowl and applied to my hair using a brush

according to the instructions dye should be left on for 25-30 minutes but i left it on my head for about 40 minutes

then i washed my hair thoroughly with a little amount of shampoo until water ran clear

then i applied the conditioner provided in the box and let me just say it this condition is amazing, it made my hair so shiny and soft

firstly i dyed my hair with light ash brown shade to lighten my hair color . i have fine dark brown hair so this dye turned my hair light brown, saved me from the damaging effects using bleach on my hair

P.s: sorry i cant find the picture of my light brown hair

after a break of 3 months i dyed my hair again this time using the deep burgundy shade .

sadly it didnt turned out to be the shade i wanted which was a deep purple reddish hue as featured on the model on the box but some how i like this shade too

i took these photographs in daylight

red dye tend to wash  off quite fast and bleed a lot too, my hair dont look like this any more because they color has lightened  a lot

have you ever dyed your hair, would you recommend me any hair dye?

Makeup pencils review by Sweet Touch, Manhattan , Christine

i had a lot of pencils in makeup stash that i felt were good enough to be reviewed  so here it is a picture heavy makeup pencils review

sorry for not wiping my pencils before taking pictures, but hey i was trying to add reality to the blog post. lets be honest , our makeup pencils do look like this after use? right ? yes ?no?

i have three lip/eyeliner pencils from Christine local brand one from Manhattan , one lipliner from sweet touch and black eyeliner also from Sweet touch

the first one is a pink liner by Sweet touch  its called mars i believe, the shade is a everyday pink color, very pigmented only negative point is that the pencil is a bit hard and sometimes drags on the lips, i apply it underneath my lipstick to make the lipstick last longer

the second pencil is by Manhattan cosmetics i use this to liner the lower rim of my eyes, it makes me look awake and gives a larger appearance to the eyes, the color of this eyeliner is a nude  gray, very pigmented and very soft , does not irritated the eyes at all , moreover it does not has any scent

the third pencil is an eyeliner by sweet touch, i really love this eyeliner, its very soft and gentle on the yes and very pigmented, i didnt tried it on my water line as i dont like to wear dark colors on my lower lash line
it is water proof so once its set , it does not smudge through out the day

these pencils are by christine, these are very soft and pigmented but they dont stay for  long on  water line or the lid, smudge easily and disappear after 2hrs, i like to use these a base underneath my eyeshadow

priced at about 20-60 pkr these are great for trying out various makeup looks 

SWATCHES 

Thats all

Trendy Watches for Men in Pakistan

Today I am doing a fashion/ trend post and a with  little references to the past i.e history 

do you know clocks have been around since the beginning of time , Egyptians had them, so did Romans and Greeks they became a room decor in the form of a wall clock in early 16th century and were worn as wrist watches and pocket watches by gentle men in early 19th century , and since that time they have now become an essential and fashion statement for men 

wrist watches specifically reflect a person taste so when purchasing one, one should be very sure whether he likes the design and color moreover you shouldn't invest you money in a fake, because this just questions one credibility and overall ruins the whole impression 

here is what you should consider when looking for a watch 

bezel design round, square any other shape 

color of the watch , jewel toned, metallic, neon etc 

type of straps and the material used  leather, metal, beads, wood , plastic

its mechanic either its digital or a mechanical one 

there are some great luxury brand out there that makeup some stellar watches 

i will be discussing some in this blog post 

Casio Beside WR50M

who does not know about Casio? it such a popular Japanese brand that has been launching some very exquisite watches for a fairy long time 

one particular watch that caught my attention is the Casio bedside WR50M, the design is very elegant, it has leather straps  and the bezel is silver in color, it come s\in with three dials for telling time day and date, the whole concept is very classy and perfect for  pairing it with your work out fit, Pakistani dress and even a casual tee 
 

Rolex Skeleton Watch 

skeleton watch is what is an accessory a true minimalist would own , the design shows all the mechanics of a watch with all the unnecessary metal and details removed, the design is beautiful and mesmerizing 
Rolex skeleton watch comes with a beautiful gold casing and a leather strap,moreover the back is transparent so its really cool to see the complete working of a wrist watch with your own eyes 

 Rolex Skeleton Watch Price in Pakistan is 1750 rs on modashop , ah i am just dazzled by this  beauty,its absolute perfection

  Rolex Submariner Watch

another notable mention is Rolex submariner which is  a waterproof watch so if you are a very sporty person or sweat frightfully a lot or are like me and forget to take of your watch before going into shower this watch is definitely for you , available in gold and black tones , this is  designed for the younger generation

for more info on Rolex Submariner Watch Price in Pakistan , check this website they have very affordable prices 

Android Smartwatch

keeping in mind the current age of cool gadgets and advance technology this is is must have if you are a geek or technology savvy,  because this is the coolest watch around  it has the ability to record  call , comes with aphone book , bluetooth , message reminder , call reminder etc which saves one from keeping their cellphone with them all time.

Android Smartwatch Price in Pakistan is only 2750 rs, so hurry and grab yours before its out of stock

Men's Watches in Pakistan

its not easy to buy original watches in Pakistan easily with a suitable/ affordable price tag most of the time there a lot of fake/duplicate watches circulating in the market,

if you have decided to invest in a watch be sure about your taste and style, because there is no point in purchasing a watch which you are never going to wear, watches have sentimental value so always dedicate some time to invest in a watch .

as a Pakistani you should also keep in mind your dressing preference, do you wear shalwar kameez or wear a suit or like to spend you r day in  a casual t shirt . 

give a lot of though in the type of straps you like your watch to have, the color and most importantly the design and the bezel 

thats all  i hope after reading this post you find your signature watch

Clazona Beauty Nail Polis in shade 269

hello

hi are you all doing, i am very excited about today's post because today i am sharing a review on my dream nail enamel color . yup that's right i have searching for this shade for fairly long time and imagine my delight when i found it at a local cosmetic store for a a very nominal price !!

price: 90 pkr

Quantity : 10ml

this cute and affordable nail enamel is available all across Pakistan, Clazona Beauty is a local Pakistani brand which have some very impressive makeup products, these Matte gloss is just amazing . the staying power is unbelievable  ,

ahem back to the review, the vial is made of glass and holds 10ml of enamel in it, the brush is pretty good and applies the polish well, no streaky lines thankfully,

the polish dries within 60 secs, i applied two coats for full opacity but one is sufficent to cover the color of your nails 

the nail paint does not chips fast, it lasted on my nails for a good four days which is great in my opinion 

as you can see in the pictures this is a beautiful nude color, cool nude to be more precise with hints of gray in in

clazona has a very large collection nail paints, more than 50+ if i am not wrong, so do visit the clazona makeup counter and grab your self a shade

Haul post

hello I am back with another haul post, this time I will showing  both beauty and some stationary stuff i purchased 

I bought another bottle of timotei shampoo because this shampoo is so gentle on the hair and it smells amazing 

I also purchased tiny travel size soda white toothpaste, hope it turns my yellow teeth a tiniest bit white

I have heard a lot of great thinks about the Revlon colorsilk hair dye line so I decided to purchase one in the shade deep burgundy. This one was approximately 320 rs

And I have finally managed to finish my freeman dead sea mineral mask (takes a sigh of relief), been trying to finish one tube for two years . I really liked using the dead sea mineral mask but was so tired of using the same mask over and over again so  I decide to purchase the avocado and oatmeal one . I hope its as good as the dead sea mineral one

i found these cute eyebrow razors to shape my brows 

I also purchase a small fan brush,again I don’t own a highlighter yet so this was purchased on a whim

Guilty confession I know this is very childish of me to share food in this post but i felt like sharing my go to unhealthy food when I am binge watching Korean dramas

Choco pops, plum chutney and knorr noodles ( Korean dramas did this to me ever since I have started watching Korean soaps. I love eating noodles or ramen as they call it when watching Korean soaps

Now on to the stationary and some random stuff

I know I am too old to buy cute pens and those fancy erasers but  a recent trip to the mall with my friend changed it all.i told my self repeatedly that I was past the age where I bought dog shaped erasers and Barbie pencil case but  3o minutes later I was walking out of the store with a big hero 6 pen , an ostrich shaped pencil ,a watch shaped eraser,  and these tiny cute stickers

I also purchased this pouch for storing my makeup and found this very cute and colorful  hairbrush,

Also so you guys know that clazona has such a vast variety of nail paints its just mind boggling

I bought this dream nude shade which I always wanted

That’s all for my haul post !!

Would you like to see a review on any of the products??
