We are seeing beautiful lehenga cholis everywhere lately and this dress captures the essence of tradition and style at the same time.
SABYASACHI Udaipur collection is ethereal

Aishwarya Rai Bachan wore a heavily embellished lehenga for a wedding, probably not a good choice to wear at someone's wedding because it was too heavy and too distracting but that lehenga fit perfectly for a Pakistani baraat bride

This Indian gold and red lehenga is beautiful

W7 LIP PAINT, THE ART OF GLOSS PERFECTION AND GIRLIE REVIEW AND SWATCHES

April 19, 2017 Maya 3 Comments

Hi girlies, today's post is about lip paints by W7 cosmetics. I love W7 cosmetics for being extremely affordable and this brand has extensive range of cosmetics. The lip paint i am talking about today is less known by W7, I saw this lip paints on ebay only , in Pakistan I saw these on emporium cosmetics website. I was really curious to try this lip paint so I ordered two shades named girlie and perfection from said website.
The packaging:
these lip paints come in small chubby plastic tubes with black twist up caps, i really love the packaging which is quite cool and fun. The color of the tube matches the lip gloss inside. these lip glosses have a pointed soft applicator which is very handy to apply the gloss.
My views:
I ordered two shades from the range , named Perfection and girlie. I saw online swatches before ordering and both shades look different from each other but on my medium wheat-ish skin , both shade look almost the same. The formula of this lip gloss is very thick , its a little sticky and smells like menthol, I don't know why they added such a strong fragrance but I don't like the strong feeling of menthol drops when I apply this lip gloss. These lip glosses are highly pigmented, and ultra glossy. These lip glosses have brilliant color payoff and shine and look very funky and cool on lips. I am not a lip gloss fan but these blew me away, apart from tasting like cough drops , these lip glosses are simply amazing.




Price and availability:
price is 380 rupees each and you can order online from emporium cosmetics. They have an easter sale going on right now with 40 % discount and free shipping all over Pakistan. And I love their super fast shipping and customer handling service.

benefit makeup review,

Benefit highbeam review

April 16, 2017 Maya 1 Comments

Hi girls, Today I am talking about a liquid highlighter by benefit cosmetics, which is named high beam. I bought the deluxe one to try, about a year ago and I love using it on my cheek bones and brow bone.
Let's see what the company says about this highlighter :
What it is: 
A satiny-pink, liquid highlighter to add a subtle glow. 

What it does: 

Create a radiant, dewy complexion for an ethereal glow that is perfectly alluring on all skin tones with this iconic, high beam highlighter. Use it as a spot highlighter over makeup or wear it underneath makeup for subtle luminescence. 

Beauty tip: 

High beam is the ultimate go-to product for strobing. Dot and blend high beam where light would naturally hit your face (the cheekbones, browbones, down your nose, and on your cupid's bow) for a beautiful, glowing complexion.
Packaging:
It comes in a small plastic container and its applicator is similar to a  nail polish applicator .The cap can be safely twisted back to close.
The product:
High beam is a very light pink highlighter and has a medium liquid consistency, it is neither runny nor very thick, it almost feels like whipped cream. It applies smooth on skin with fingers, or a beauty blender. High beam is basically a very subtle highlighter. Do not expect it to be extremely glowing as the name would suggest. It's really very subtle and gives a very soft & natural shine to areas of face . It is probably the lightest and subtlest highlighter I ever came across. Overall it's a super cute and adorable highlighter which is very easy to apply and carry around.

The goods:
  • travel friendly
  • has no odor 
  • nice subtle shine
  • blendable
The bads:
  • expensive
  • less quantity
  • too subtle

Price & Availability:
I paid 800 rupees for this teeny tiny tube, the big size is available in 10 ml packaging, for 26 $ at sephora

the body shop liquid lipstick review

April 10, 2017 Maya 2 Comments

Hi peeps, hope you are all doing great. In this post I am sharing my views on the body shop liquid lipstick. These liquid lipstcks just came out when I ordered one shade from body shop UK website because these lipsticks were not available in Pakistan at that time.
These liquid lipsticks are available in 12 beautiful shades



The company says :
Introducing this season's hottest lip-color trend, Matte Lip Liquid. Specially formulated to glide on effortlessly like a gloss and set with the rich creamy color and velvety touch of matte lipstick. Available in 12 shades, our new liquid lipstick is long-lasting, lightweight and lusciously soft. And like all our cruelty-free make-up, it's vegetarian too.

  • Long-lasting Matte Lip Liquid with a velvety finish
  • Available in 12 intensely rich shades
  • 100% vegetarian
  • No gluten
  • No carmine

My Views:
 I wanted to try this lipstick because the body shop products are made from natural ingredients and do not contain harmful chemicals and toxins. I picked shade 07 which is named Mauritius dahlia . Its a very dark reddish maroon shade which I really like. The formula is creamy , almost like a mousse, to be honest it is a very different texture from any other liquid lipstick I have ever tried. This lipstick has a slight candy like sweet smell . This lipstick is not my usual liquid lipstick , you 'll have to apply three coats at least  to get opaque finish. It feels very very light weight on lips and it doesn't dry out the lips or accentuate lines as a typical liquid lipstick would . It takes longer than a normal lipstick to dry , about 8 to 10 minutes at least and after drying it still is not transfer proof.




The goods:

  • no harmful chemicals added
  • good shade range available from light to dark
  • feels very light on lips
  • doesn't dry out lips
  • smells nice
  • cruelty free & vegan


The bads:

  • takes longer time to dry completely
  • is not transfer proof even after drying completely

Price and availability:
price is 6 £ for each lipstick on the body shop uk
These lipsticks are now available on daraz.pk  where it is avilable for 1490 pkr.

How to get younger looking flawless skin naturally

April 08, 2017 Maya 0 Comments

We all spend so much money on skin care products and cosmetics to look younger and have beautiful flawless skin, besides the expensive spa treatments and creams, let us talk about getting the youthful flawless looking skin naturally.

1.Remove makeup: 
It is important to remove your makeup before going to bed , never ever try to sleep with makeup on because it will break out your skin immediately. You can use makeup removing wipes or any miceller water to remove makeup and cleanse the skin at the same time.

2.Exfoliate:
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and makes skin more youthful and soft if done correctly, you can gently rub a scrub on your face and neck at least one a week .

3.Get that natural glow:
Everyone wants to have a naturally glowy skin, skip the highlighters and six layers of makeup today by applying some natural ingredients from your kitchen, 
Tomato contains Lycopene which gives tomatoes its red color, lycopene protects DNA and makes skin youthful if consumed or applied on face, You can make fresh tomato juice or pureed tomato paste and apply on skin, It will give your skin instant brightening and natural glow. Oatmeal, sugar scrub , honey , turmeric, lemon juice , bananas and cucumbers and many more kitchen ingredients can be applied as masks or scrubs on skin for naturally radiant skin.

4.Sleep:
Lack of sleep makes your skin look tired and aged very quickly, try switching off your laptop and phone and going to bed early , with good sleeping habits you can avoid dark circles and tired looking skin very easily. Ease sleep deprivation by having chamomile tea at night and popping some lavender leaves under your pillow at night or put some lavender essential oil in a diffuser at night to get a relaxed sleep at night.

Eat healthy:
Probably you are tired of listening to all the healthy eating rants your mom gave you all your life but the truth is that it was all true, Eating a healthy and balanced diet will not only effect your health , it will make your skin look many years younger and flawless naturally. Eat good portions of fruits and veggies and lean meat to get that flawless looking skin you longedfor all your life.


5.Think positive:
Negative emotions like jealousy hatred or envy effect  our bodies and our skin can look tired and aged all the time. Stay positive by having good friends, enjoying small blessings of life, being thankful and content with what you have, it will make you feel like a different person, being positive is anti aging , you can trust me on this one I promise.

6.Don't stress:
Stress is the biggest reason behind failing health and major sicknesses like hypertension, heart disease and many more. Taking stress will not solve your problems but will make you look older in no time, people suffering from stress have grey hair and fine lines on skin at a very young age, we all know that. Try breathing exercises and yoga to relieve stress , try gardening, dancing, swimming or any other thing which makes you happy to kick that stress out of your life for good resulting in a younger looking skin.

7.Excercise:
Last thing I cannot stress more is exercise, staying physically active balances hormones aiding in getting flawless and better skin at any age.
