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

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
disclaimer i didnt wear this lip product for that long but one of my friend did went to sleep with this on and it was still on her lips in the morning , no smudging , minimal flaking

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
Shade # 507 is orange brown shade

Tip: to remove it from the lips use a lotion on a cotton ball or tissue

here is a pic of the clazona stand I saw

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
