Hello dear readers,

Today I am talking about a foundation by forever 52. It's a brand which is available in many malls in United Arab Emirates, I bought mine from Safeer Mall's cosmetic candy kiosk. This brand has an impressive range of eye shadows, long lasting lipsticks and many other things. As far as I know, forever 52 is a German brand and its quite popular in the middle east also.

I bought their high definition liquid foundation from their premium line, so let's see how it turned out.

The packaging:
First of all the packaging is quite sleek, and the design of bottle is quite similar to makeup forever high definition foundation. This foundation is available in many shades and I successfully found my perfect shade with the help of the S.A .

My thoughts:
This foundation is actually very good, its very light weight and stayed on my face in Dubai outdoors for many hours. Its not oily or thick and it has that light coverage I like in foundations. Overall I am very pleased at this random purchase of mine, the only drawback is that you have to shake it up before applying because the ingredients get kind of separated while not in use for longer time.
Price and availability:
Around 50 dhs ,available in U.A.E very easily,or you can visit forever52 website for more information.

Hello girls,hope you are all doing great, in today's post I am sharing my experience with a very famous products by Nyx cosmetics. We all love Nyx Cosmetics for their high quality and budget friendly products. Their Jumbo pencils are a favorite product of makeup lovers all around the world. It is a chubby pencil which is available in so many shades. I use the black one which is named 'Black Bean'.

What they say about the product:

A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly - no pulling, tugging or fading - and come in a range of vivid hues. Our most voluptuous pencil yet!

My views:
The color is a dark black shade and you can increase the intensity of the color also while applying. This pencil is no doubt very creamy so it doesn't pull or tug skin in application, it glides smoothly on skin and the its application is effortless. This pencil is highly pigmented and I believe its best use is as an eye shadow base for smokey eye makeup. It cannot be used as an eyeliner if you want to do a precise line on eyes because of its chunky tip but it can be applied as a smudged eyeliner very well.
In eyes, be it tight-lining or applying on waterline, the staying power is not that great, it fades quickly from the waterline and this is kind of disappointing for me.
The goods:
~highly pigmented
~smooth application
~very affordable
~easily removes
~a great eye shadow base
~available in 28 shades
~doesn't irritate eyes
The bads:
~not good for use as a precise eyeliner
~fades quickly from waterline
~cap is fragile
Price :
4.50 $ on Nyx cosmetics website,in Pakistan it is available in around 750 to 850 rupees.
Final verdict:
Overall its a multipurpose product and its very affordable so its a thumbs up for me.
Thanks for reading,bye bye!!

Hello lovelies,
Today I am sharing my thoughts on three exciting new deodorants by Olor Pakistan which have just been launched in the market. Antiperspirants are very important part of one's personal hygiene, deodorant sprays are supposed to keep perspiration at minimum and keep one 's underarms dry and fragrant the whole day, antiperspirant deodorants are a must buy especially in summers.
Olor deodorant sprays have three new flavors, Rosy Raspberry, Vibrant Violet and Glamorous Gold. Let's see if these worked out for me or not:

1. Rosy Raspberry:
Main notes: Raspberry and vanilla

My views:
A fruity burst of Raspberry and Vanilla brings you an exclusive fragrance that will leave you enchanted.
On initial spray I can clearly smell raspberry note which is very strong, a vanillic sweetness kicks in after a few seconds, this deodorant spray is very strong and sharp and stays on for a long time, if you like fruity berry like smells mixed with a lot of freshness ,this one is definitely for you.

2.Glamorous Gold:
This deodorant spray has prominent notes of Lilac and Amber.

My views:
This one has a gold bottle and the name suggests it to be a glamorous fragrance. It is a very sharp smell probably because of amber, which is a little heavy and masculine . If you like heavy ambric perfumes, this one may work for you.

3.Vibrant Violet:
main notes:
Iris and black current

My views:

This deodorant has a cute violet can and this is my favorite from the rest. This spray is a little sweet and fresh and to my nose its quite pleasant and floral. The good thing about these deodorant sprays is that these are long lasting in fragrance and freshness and will keep
you fresh smelling throughout the day.
Availability:
Olor deodorant sprays are available on all big department and cosmetic stores. For more information you can visit Olor facebook page or visit their website olor.no
