Finally, 2016 passed by and I felt this year seemed a bit of a drag and included many events that were a great agony for me and obviously, for the entire nation. We lost some of the most precious people of our country and suffered other subsequent losses as well. I don’t want to sketch out each fragment of 2016 because discussing in detail feels too depressing. So, let’s pray and hope that 2017 has better and nicer prospects awaiting for us all. As for New Year resolutions, Nope! Nada… I am not going to chitchat about that because they are better achieved quietly than being boasted about the entire year. (If that remark makes sense.) :-P

Hiya Girls,
Who doesn’t love attending wedding ceremonies and especially if your close cousins are getting married? Family weddings are really joyous get-togethers for the entire family and the never-ending celebrations make them so very beautiful. Well, two of my cousins got married recently and my preparations began from early December as both the ceremonies were to be held from 24th to 26th December 2016. I had been persuading my mother for shopping ever since November, simply because I was over-enthusiastic and finally we bought everything we needed after a long and strenuous shopping haul with “Winter Eve” of “I Dare Again.” You can read about our shopping spree here.

I’ve been stalling for the past five days but nothing captivating took my fancy to post about on my blog until I came upon a company calledsposadress. I can’t tell for how long I stayed on that website but I guess my time spent there was seriously enthralling. Sposadress have some of the most precious dresses available that I’ve ever laid my peepers upon.

I
am a great fan of hair care products but I seldom buy and use them, since I am
seriously crap at keeping up with a routine, whether it be related to beauty or
anything else. I’ve tried numerous conditioners and still keep exploring for
the best one. You might remember that I did a post on jewelry and mentioned
about the surprise I received from one of my aunts. Well, this conditioner was
also included in that package. I’ve tried this conditioner before as well
but today, I decided to review it. The inclusion of Argan Oil in this
conditioner really attracted me, let’s see whether it was advantageous or not!

Hello
lovely readers,
Thankfully,
I’ve learned my lesson and been really staying faithfully glued to my blog
schedule. Now, you will begin to see more content uploading on my blog and I
already have lots of ideas piling in my head. Also, I want to thank my readers
who, despite my flailing blogging attempt, come to comment on my posts on a
regular basis. Please bear with me, I am trying to improve my blog portal.
Oh
God! It’s been seriously a long while since I’ve had enough time to sit down
and properly put up a nice, blogger appropriate post. This time, I am earnestly
thinking of creating a blog timetable and sticking to it, no matter what. A few
days back, I received a rather large present from one of my aunts and was
extremely pleased to behold numerous unique jewelry bits and bobs contained
there. I got some other hair care stuff as well but that will be revealed in
another blog post, hopefully.

Online
boutiques have certainly modernized our shopping era today, since we can get
beautiful dresses with reasonable price tags, just like in a marketplace.
However, online shopping tends to be more comfortable as the item is just a
click away and you have the opportunity to set up a mental budget in your mind,
whereas traditional shopping is too hectic for people like us who don’t get
time to shift the heads off their desks.

Hello Everybody,
Mascara
probably is my least favorite item when it approaches to cosmetics. However, I
do have my eyes out for good ones to wear on special occasions and I’ve been meaning
to try the No7 brand since Lisa Eldridge praised it in one of her videos. This mascara wasn’t a standout product for
me, though I do like certain aspects of it. Read my review below to conclude
how the mascara sounds to you.

Okay,
I confess I completely had my heart set on getting the Nars Creamy Concealer as
its praises were enough to inspire me and get me on the path to buy this
product. However, Nars seemed like a far-fetched dream because I didn’t have
the guts to put in so much dosh in one single product and that too, “A
CONCEALER!!!”

Hiya
gals,
With
the influx of liquid lipsticks in the market, it’s no wonder females are
drooling over them, myself included. Seriously, I can’t seem to get enough of
them and my obsession with old lipsticks is dying out pretty quickly. I adore
this newer version of liquid lipsticks that not only don’t budge but provide
ultra-matte and smooth finish.
With
Essence, I have experienced all kinds of highs and lows but I must commend
Essence for their good quality mascaras and lip liners. This is a fairly new
product by Essence and I want to quickly come to the nitty-gritty of this
product, I am not going into details here.
When it comes to
concealers, it feels like I haven’t explored much, though I have a clear
mindset when it comes to what I expect from a concealer. A concealer helps to
seal those problematic areas and offer that nice, fine-tuned appearance to the
skin, right? But the Rimmel Lasting Finish concealer proved to be a weirdly
appalling product. I expected a lot from it and bought it without even giving a
second thought to how a cream based concealer might behave against my
dry/normal skin tone.
I
hate talking about one lipstick but that’s the way it’s going to be, since I
just purchased one Essence lipstick after the hype was created over its
emergence in the market. I previously bought one Essence lipstick about 3 years
ago and it was a complete disappointment. After that experience, I hesitated
this time too but then decided against it, despite my instincts warning me not
to trust Essence lipstick again.
Jumpsuits
never look awry, rather they can turn out to be an impeccable selection when
you are heading to a snazzy party or hooking up with your friends for a night
out. I myself have worn jumpsuit once but I absolutely loved the way it
accentuated my figure and if you really want to bring out your height, grabbing
a pair of jumpsuit is a staple in my opinion.
First,
a belated Eid Mubarak to all the Muslims and I know I’ve gotten a bit late in
writing this post but as it goes, there were a number of tasks that required urgent
completion, plus a very special guest stayed over for a few days. So you can guess
my hands were full. Now as I see, you do remember my promise of doing a post on
Eid and here it is for all of you.
Stylish
people are actually in the know-how of how to use the same clothes in different
ways. Today, I’d like to stress on how you can transform your outfit looks,
according to different seasons and this will help you understand that there are a
million things you can do with same kind of clothes. Rehashing same clothes in
newer fashionable ways do not only let you to make the most out of your
wardrobe, rather you get in the grips of doubling your wardrobe and that too
for FREE!.
We
are very close to Eid-ul-Fitr now and of course excited too, despite the heat
and humidity. Not to worry though, as I’ve brought before you two really good
and cost effective face washes that’ll blow your socks off! However, do grab
them before the socks go too far!
The
beauty industry is constantly changing according to the needs and wishes of its
customers, which is exactly why numerous trends come, stay for a while, and
disappear like they have never existed before. However, there are trends that
are truly timeless – they have been popular for decades now, but it seems that
they are even more popular today. Stay with us and find out something more
about five of them.
Another
review, and this time it’s a powder blush. I know we girls love blushes a lot,
even though it is not used as much as a lipstick perhaps. However, the colored
compact powders make us drool over them. I haven’t bought many blushes in a
long time and still thinking of purchasing some touted ones, like Luminoso and
Happy Booster, maybe because, it gets really difficult to decide what to go
for, when it comes to makeup shopping. The list is always endless, and funds always
short (specifically for makeup), plus new products keep emerging at a pace that
it gets difficult to stay shoulder to shoulder.
Surprise,
surprise! I’m back with you beauties, to share another product, which was
bought by me during the marriage of my cousin, this past April. The story
behind this purchase is quite interesting. My brother knew about my motives,
before we went for shopping. He specifically asked my mother not to spend a
penny on my whims because we had a quarrel earlier on. But my sweet mom bought
it, because I had spotted the orange cap after 2 years of thorough search and
she understands my obsession.
I know I’m going to come up with another excuse
for being so late but honestly, this heat is to blame for. It kept me immobilized
and dizzy and the fatigue never seemed to go away. Anyhow, tonight the wind is
cool and I’m feeling refreshed after a long time. Then I had the guilty feeling
of not updating my blog too, so here I am, with couple of lippies from no other
than Rimmel. The Apocalips entered the market about 4 years ago and were among
the most raved about products.
ColourPop
cosmetics need no introduction. We all have been in awe ever since its launch
and girls have by now made a handsome collection of the entire range of its
products available. The quality along with reasonable pricing has indeed taken
the females by storm and then they keep emerging with more and more of such
fanciful and lucrative shades that one simply can’t remain unstirred by the utter
beauty of ColorPop inventions. They are making a huge investment now by
creating Kylie Jenner Lip Kit too.
As
promised, I’m here with the post on Dessata Detangling Brush and I mentioned in
my earlier post how I had been after this for a long time. So, naturally my
enthusiasm knew no bounds when I was able to get it in my possession finally.
Before buying it, I had also watched Saadiah Khawaja’s video on this detangler
that had clearly created an excitement in me. Before heading further with the
review, if you haven’t watched Saadiah’s video, let me tell you that she
reviewed the special edition of this detangler, whereas mine is the same
company’s regular one.
It
has become unbearably hot now and I wait for the sun to set, by sleeping
through the entire day. Once, the heat waves start dying down with the
diminishing scorching sunlight, my eyes open up as well and I get ready for the
working hours ahead. Yep, my work is such that it usually involves night
schedule and now that it is summer, this schedule suits me more, as the extreme
heat in daytime dulls the mind and body, although, I wouldn’t recommend such an
unnatural regimen to any other soul, because it really upsets everything,
including your health and other everyday chores.
[Karachi: 27th April,
2016]: Servis Tyres, the market leaders in motorcycle
tyres in Pakistan, has recently launched its new campaign with a star studded
commercial.
Long
time, no see and that’s because I was so busy. It rhymes! Believe you me, I was
getting desperate to get on my blog but due to much work pressure, I had to sit
tight and wait for the right moment and finally tonight, I did manage to pull
out some hours for blogging about this gorgeous looking highlighter. The Wet n
Wild Fergie Highlighter Hollywood Boulevard is quite famous; more so because of
Kathleen Lights and the girls following Kathleen know what I’m talking about.
That girl is insane when it comes to makeup.
No
matter whether you are planning on a summer vacation somewhere exotic, or maybe
a road trip with your best friends – you should know that there is an optimal
amount of clothes and other necessities you need to bring. Here is a useful
guide on how to avoid rookie mistakes and pack with style, so check out our
tips and plan on your next vacation carelessly.
Instead
of melting down in misery and having your wedding preparations go down in a
poor slump, it is better that you make a timetable of the things that need to
be done and tick them as they are fulfilled. This post of mine isn’t about
compelling you to take control of yourself in these topsy-turvy wedding
preparations, it is about rousing you to take a firm hold on yourself and get
involved in the most diaphanous and striking looking designer wedding dresses
that Cocomelody has to offer you.
So,
dearies, here I am with the promised post of the wedding ceremony I attended on
10 and 11 April of my lovely cousin who was looking stunning in her heavily
embellished bridal dress of lenghas on both the Barat (wedding ceremony) and
Walima (day after wedding ceremony.) One picture of her henna clad hands is
here. I also must include, I am right now so exhausted yet over-thrilled by the
beauty of the entire ceremony that I wanted to put up this post before sleeping
and now, it’s exactly 5:00 am and just a few hours earlier, I returned home
from the Walima formality.
You
can’t judge the height of my euphoria gals because I’m going to be attending
the wedding ceremony of my cousin and I simply can’t contain myself. Ever since
a month, I’ve been eating my mom’s ears to buy clothes and stuff in order to
get equipped for
the wedding, due this 10th of April. Just a few
days are left now and I’m almost prepared, well a few things like foundation
and concealer are left still, but I’ll be getting those soon too, and as for my
dress and shoes, they are pretty much on their way.
So,
girls it was my birthday on 24th March and sadly I’ve to update you
that now officially I’ve left my teens. This growing up part really bothers me
because I hate growing up, perhaps because I am scared of embracing responsibilities.
However this grief has nothing to do with the celebration of birthdays and I
love receiving presents, rather, that’s the best part and then it is worthy to
not let fear overshadow your stance.
I
believe I must take inspiration from this quote: “As long as I am breathing, in
my eyes, I am just beginning.”
Yesterday,
my khalas (maternal-aunts) were over at my place and there was a discussion on
makeup, naturally. My khalas are into beauty related issues too, quite keenly
as a matter of fact, but there’s always a clash on the budget. They openly tell
me that I’m a spendthrift regarding makeup items and after hearing about my
latest splurges, they advised on the productivity of spending money on clothes,
rather than cosmetics. I believe many of the beauty bloggers face similar
issues, and then the guilt gushes overspill our minds. Don’t they?
Though
February is long gone, yet after today’s cold and overcast day, I thought over this
skipped post and here I am. Sometimes life gets so busy that even writing down
a few lines feels so hectic. Don’t think I’m fed up of this blog. No! The
matter is my job as a freelancer and after so much writing, another piece of
writing appears like fetching stars from the sky itself.
Hoarding
and going on a spree for every month’s grocery is real fun. Besides, I spend
whole month anticipating this moment. Pleasure is all mine, as I get my hands
on things already enlisted in my mind. In fact every month’s grocery list is
set by me. This month we proceeded to Al-Fatah, a reputable shopping place,
though I would love to shop in Green Valley someday. Plus I believe Hyperstar
is a much better option too. Metro chain is just average in my opinion, however
they do have some awesome deals, but still I’ve never liked the atmosphere in
there.
Dry
hair and skin is indeed a big issue for me and finding the right product that
can tame my parched frizzy tresses is no joke. I’ve always loved hair care
products, maybe because I don’t consider my hair to be gorgeously lovely like
my mother’s and that is enough to dishearten me. The matter at hand in the
beginning was actually my mother, as she has never faced any hair problems and
is a strictly against hair care products. So, it took a while for her to comprehend
my genuine pleas. Anyway after reading much about hair care and then receiving
the consent of my mother too, I actually started investing in conditioners.

Hiya,
After being into makeup
and beauty blogging for quite some time now, I’ve come upon the assessment that
lip colors are the basic and most used products in cosmetics. I mean a woman
not intent on makeup at all; will for sure be the owner of at least 2-3
lipsticks, for they are the game changers. So much so that a mere lip color
alone or along with mascara perhaps, can alter your whole appearance in a
jiffy. That’s why I’ve started investing in lipsticks more and trying hard to
ignore other makeup additions. Besides, eye-shadows aren’t my cup of tea
either.
The concept of tinting
or staining lips with color has always been fascinating, as it gives a natural
lip color, without looking cake-y or unusually overpowering, especially
suitable for young girls. I’ve been trying to get hold of lip stains for quite
a while now, and after watching a video on the usage of lip tattoos, I couldn’t
resist the urge to buy them at once. One does tend to think why buy these lip
tattoos, why not go straight for a proper lip stain but you can’t ignore these
buddies now, can you?

Everything about
weddings needs to be preplanned, be it your dress, your ring or the place where
the event will be held. However, wedding dresses take much time in deciding and
when one is in a mood to just stop fussing about them, it is better to take a
simpler approach and buy them online.

I
am valiantly trying to build up my lipstick collection because it’s even too
small for words. I have always been a huge fan of lip products and base
products. I am really into buying foundations but rarely use them on my face.
This
post has been long overdue and I always ended up cramming my newly bought items
in the corner of my vanity, totally being lazy in not taking a snap of them and
putting them on my blog as soon as possible. The thought of blogging about
these items brought an excitement in me when I finally tried out my freshly
purchased “Peel off lip stains.”

Hello People
I’m here again with the
review of Ponds BB cream. I’m still too lazy to come up with the best beauty
products 2015 posts right now because quite frankly, I’m pretty busy. However,
I will try to be regular with my blog posts.
I hope you all are well
and catching upon a new life. I didn’t set any particular New Year resolutions
because I’m quite laid-back on that. But I’m excited to announce that I did set
an one month project for myself and that is drinking almost 8 glasses of water
every day. So far, I’ve been sticking to my routine pretty well and the changes
are already starting to show on my skin.
