Hello dolls, I am sharing my March Favorites in this post today:

Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar body lotion:

I have extremely dry skin so body lotion is a must have in my daily routine. I started using this Bath and Body works body lotion this month, its probably the old packaging, I fell in love with this baby, you seriously fall in love with yourself when you are wearing this lotion because not only it moisturizes skin amazingly but also the fragrance is out of this world, wanna eat myself lolz.

Price is 850/950 rupees for 250 ml

Wet n Wild mega last lipstick in Cherry Picking:

Oh wow, wet n wild mega last lipsticks are amazing, I need more of these beauties in my collection. I have been using Cherry picking this month and its a gorgeous striking pink which suddenly lights up my face when I wear it.

Price 450 rupees.

Clean n Clear Blackhead clearing daily scrub:

I am using this clean n clear blackhead clearing scrub for a while now, not daily to be honest. I haven't noticed my blackheads disappearing or something but my skin feels very clean and soft after using it and its enough for me.

Price is 495 rupees.

Tarte deluxe blush in Classic

this is such a pretty blush by Tarte , I am absolutely in love with it. Its so pretty that I do not want to use it at all, wore it once at a very humid outdoor gathering and it stayed on my face for a whole day, its pure love.

I bought it for 1600 rupees from facebook page trends n brands.

Maybelline Colossal Kajal 12 hour formula:

I never really wore colossal kajal for a whole day, but this month i used Maybelline Colossal Kajal in my waterline and as eyeliner and it amazed me how it didn't make me look like a panda despite all the humidity. Read the review here

I think its priced 295 rupees

Tony & Teena eye-pencil in silver:

Picked it up from a local cosmetic counter and this pencil is really pigmented and cheap, going to add more to my stash soon.

Price is around 100 rupees.

Medora nail polish in Tiffany blue:

Tiffany blue is my favorite color in nail polishes and many things, its crazy when you can buy such a pretty color in Medora Pakistan for a 100 rupees only.

Tarte mascara lights, camera, lashes deluxe:

Lights, camera lashes by Tarte is a beautiful waterproof mascara which separates each n every lash perfectly and gives beautiful length to lashes, I bought this in deluxe size for 750 rupees.

Intimately Beckham David and Victoria Beckham for women

March 26, 2015 Maya 9 Comments

Hi girls,
Today I am writing this post about a celebrity perfume, which is Intimately Beckham. I feel more and more celebrity perfumes are making way into market and probably every star has his or her own fragrance launched. Probably Elizabeth Taylor was the pioneer in starting the trend and even after her passing away, her famous white diamonds tops the list of many.
Now back to David Victoria Beckham perfumes, I think Victoria is a fashion Icon and their perfume line is great, its cheap but I have no complaint about the quality of their perfumes.
Notes:
Top notes: lotus breeze, bergamot and rose petals.
The middle notes: lily from Casablanca, tuberose and neroli
Base notes: powdery vanilla,sandalwood and musk notes.
The packaging:
I love the packaging of Intimately Beckham by David and Victoria Beckham. It comes in a clear square bottle with a clear square cap, I love how they have kept it so simple and basic but still the heavy glass bottle looks expensive and is a pretty thing to adorn one's vanity.
My Thoughts:

I am absolutely in love with this perfume. If you are a fan of white florals ,Rose and musk,you' ll love this fragrance. Intimately Beckham is a sweet, white floral fragrance, which is sexy and captivating. Tuberose is the star of this perfume, and I am a die hard fan of tuberose, the good thing is that the hints of rose and the sweetness kind of tone down the tuberose note because if this flower is heavily used, it can be over powering. Rose in this perfume is very delicate and pretty. Intimately Beckham has almost the similar vibe of CD Pure Poison. It has the same slight sweet moth-ballish white floral quality and as a pure poison fan, I would want to stock up Intimately Beckham as a gem, because its insanely close to Pure Poison and the price is nothing in comparison to Pure poison.

Silage and Longevity:
Intimately Beckham has good silage, its not a skin scent and the staying power is above average, it stays put for 10/12 hours which is insane.I would recommend to lightly spray it as it can induce headache if applied heavily.

Price and availability:
I believe its not in production anymore but still can be bought throughout USA and Uk .The price is around 21 $. In Pakistan I have seen bottles of Intimately Beckham online for 2800/ 3000 rupees.you can buy it online from this fb page here and in USA from perfume.com

Is it a dupe of Pure Poison by Christian Dior?
While Pure Poison is an elegant and timeless creation, Intimately Beckham has similar notes with Pure Poison. It cannot beat the quality & charm of Pure Poison but if you want to save your bucks and are a fan of Pure Poison,you should buy Intimately Beckham. It is absolutely gorgeous.

My Ratings:
5/5

Will I repurchase?
Yes
Thanks for reading.Do comment below I love to read comments by my lovely readers.

Looking for full coverage makeup?Kryolan Tv Paint stick review

March 16, 2015 Maya 18 Comments

Hi girlies,Today I am writing a review of good old Kryolan Tv Paint stick.

Kryolan Tv Paint stick is a cream foundation which comes in form of a stick, I believe that Tv Paint stick by Kryolan is very popular product all over the world. Kryolan Tv paint stick has been used by salon professionals for more than a decade throughout Pakistan, used by girls and women who seek full coverage makeup and for Tv and theater makeup also. I started using mine thirteen years ago to be honest , but I used it very carefully as I would never want to put a lot of foundation on my face.

What the product says:

Successfully proven cream make-up in stick form. The special base of TV Paint Stick allows gentle make-up application that provides effective covering at the same time. The Kryolan assortment of more than 250 color nuances for selection is truly extraordinary - which makes this preparation indispensable for stage, film, TV, video work and more.

Packaging and quantity:

Kryolan tv paint stick comes in twist up stick form,you get 25 g of foundation in this stick.

My thoughts:

I do don't like full coverage makeup personally but Kryolan Tv paint stick has been my vanity friend for years, even if i don't use it,its still there in my makeup box. Its a cream foundation,and I think it is well applied if you moisturize your skin beforehand and apply this stick with a damp sponge. Kryolan Tv stick's coverage is great to hide any acne scars, discoloration or marks on face. I have seen salon beauticians to use Kryolan tv paint stick as correcter ,concealer and contour cream while using its different shades. Kryolan tv paint stick is available in an unbelievable 250 + shades.

Its a great quality product,it doesn't slip from your skin and stays put for hours.In my personal experience, Kryolan tv paint stick becomes really smooth ,natural looking after 2/3 hours of application and becomes a part of your face.That is why salon use Kryolan tv paint stick for bridal makeup as it stays put for the longest time. So if you need full coverage foundation nothing can still beat Kryolan tv paint stick in my opinion.

Shades:

by google images

Kryolan tv paint stick has a huge shade range,for pink undertones,for medium,for Asian skin and for darker skin tone,it can be difficult to find the perfect match in this foundation,sometimes you can mix two tones to get the perfect color for your skin.The color chart shown on the website cannot tell you exactly about the shade,so going to the Kryolan counter and swatch testing it on your face can help you find the perfect match.I use it in Ivory shade which is best suited to Pakistani fair skin with yellow undertones.

Pros:

*excellent for medium to full coverage
*travel friendly packing
*wide range of shades
*lasts for a long time
*can be worn in summers
*it won't slip easily from face
*stays put for the longest
*doesn't oxidize on face
*budget friendly
Cons:
*Choosing a shade can be difficult
*applying needs more concentration and practice
*you'll have to remove it properly with a make up remover or it will clog your pores.
Price and availability:
Kryolan Tv paint stick is priced between 1150/1200 pkr in cosmetics stores throughout Pakistan or you can buy it online from just4girls.pk and saloni.pk
It has now different packaging on Kryolan official website and priced 21.75 $.

Thanks for reading ciao!

A cheap blush that will blow your mind-Makeup Revolution Powder Blush Love Review

March 10, 2015 Maya 17 Comments

Hi girls, Today I am reviewing a product that I fell in love with since I saw it, Makeup Revolution London's powder blush. I love how Makeup Revolution has made it easy for makeup lovers to buy excellent quality products at minimum price and their makeup range is always increasing.I wanted to try their powder blushes because I am not into cream blushes so I ordered one blush from daraz.pk a few days back.

This blush comes in six shades, Treat ,Hot ,love, Wow!, Now, & Sugar.I chose the shade which is named' Love', Its a pale salmon pink color which is really pretty and my favorite shade of blush.

Product Description:

Intense color for the cheeks. The color blends easily and creates a natural glow and will last all day.

My thoughts:

First of all,the packaging it comes in is pretty basic, it has a plain black pan with a transparent lid which clicks back to its place nicely.The blush in itself is of great quality in my opinion, Makeup Revolution Blush in Love is so soft and velvety to touch and blends effortlessly on cheeks. Its a great blush for everyday use, this blush stays for 5 to 6 hours which is great. The color payoff is great and has a matte finish ,it has no shimmer it. I am loving this cute little blush and using it everyday and probably I'll run out of it very soon.

Pros:
*Travel friendly
*soft & velvety texture
*not a lot of fallout
*really affordable
*beautiful shades available
*pigmented
*has really matte finish
*staying power is great
*great for everyday use
Cons:
*contains parabens
Price and availability:
Makeup Revolution powder blushes are available in all shades on daraz.pk and just4girls in 225 rupees and 1£ on Makeup Revolution website.

Gucci

Gucci Premiere perfume for women review

March 03, 2015 Maya 14 Comments

Hi girls, Today I am going talk about Gucci Premiere for women perfume.There is no doubt that the house of Gucci has great perfumes to offer for women,mostly Gucci perfumes are modern and seductive and the quality is great no doubt from the bottle designs to silage and longevity most Gucci perfumes are up to the mark and really really popular around the world.

Now about Gucci Premiere,Gucci Premier comes under the category of Floral Woody Musk,"Inspired by timeless Hollywood glamour and fronted by a modern icon – Blake Lively, this new fragrance is an invitation to embrace one’s own red carpet moment."The new Gucci fragrance Premiere is inspired by the beautiful gowns from the Gucci Premiere couture collection shown at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
Notes

Top: bergamot, orange blossom;vintage champagne.

Heart: white flowers, musk.

Base: leather, wood

My Thoughts
First of all ,I look at the packaging of Gucci premiere ,even the box it comes in is really pretty and glamorous with all the gold color and Gucci written all over it,the bottle is also very pretty ,a very modern bottle with a little thing dangling from its neck,its sure a pretty display at one's vanity.
Gucci Premiere for women opens with a burst of orange blossom and its really prominent in the first few hours,its a pretty feeling of orange blossom and then it shows some more white floral side and the musk is always there,basically what i can sense around me is bouquet of fresh orange blossom with tweaks of other white flowers here & there, and a lot of musk,Gucci Premiere is a well blended fragrance,its not sweet perfume, it has a bitter feeling may be because of bergamot & its floral and musky with very little woody touch to it and a little powdery at times.
Guccci Premier is a grown up scent,its goo d to wear on special occasions,but its not overpowering ,not over the top ,no pow wow,just a tamed but beautiful orange flower perfume,Gucci Premiere has class to it definitely.
Silage and longavity
The silage is medium,not a very loud scent and longevity is about 5 to 6 hours.
Overall feeling
Not too floral,not too sweet but it is a charming,warm & classy scent no doubt. If you want to try something grown up and different from fruity floral compositions,its a great choice.
Price and availability
Gucci Premiere edp is priced at 70 $ for 30 ml in Sephora,in Pakistan you can find it on Scentsation or Al-Fatah store or any big perfume store near your area and expect to pay around 8000 rupees for Gucci Premiere for women.
