WET N WILD COLOR ICON GLITTER SINGLE

 Wet and wild has these glitter eye shadows for a long a time. They have a variety of yummy shades such as spiked (silvery), groupie (purple), distortion (blue). I got a pretty golden shade named (Brass). I had seen a lot of girls with glittery shadows and I think it would be a great look for a mehndi or any night time event.Read on....

HOW TO SHAPE YOUR BROWS

Hola peaches,
Today my post is actually a tutorial on brows.Eyebrows play a vital role in facial beauty.Properly groomed and shaped brows frame your eyes to make them appear more beautiful.I am blessed with thick brows, but recently I have started noticing that shaping the brows and filling them in gives the face a youthful look while bringing out elegance.So I have started filling my eye brows as many of you noticed ^_^ Shaping eyebrows is fairly simple but some find it hard for the fear of going overboard.Therefore I am publishing this tutorial to explain all the steps.

I am using SIGMA BROW EXPERT KIT for this tutorial.

I start with tweezing excess hair and shaping my brows the way I like them.The inner ends of brows need to be trimmed a bit to bring them in line neatly.For this purpose I use "Expert Tweeze".I prefer thicker eyebrows because they are in fashion and they make one look younger too.

Anyways behold what I got when I went shopping last month(a long time ago *sighs* ) ...A cute pinkish nude nail lacquer named "Teddy Bear".Height of cuteness eh.

HOURGLASS MINERAL VEIL PRIMER

Hi Peaches,

As you all already know deluxe size products are a blessing for people like me who are always hunting for the best options.A few months ago I came to know about Hourglass makeup.The mineral veil primerwas recommended multiple times by Wayne Goss of Goss makeup Artist channel (Youtube) and is loved by many others too.Its price is $52 and deluxe was the only way I could know if it was worth it.So needless to say I tried the deluxe size Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer a few months ago.So did it convince to buy the full size one?Read on to know

MOST RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS FOR SUMMERS

Hi all peaches :)

The regular readers are well aware that I have very oily skin. In fact I have the oiliest skin of all the people  I know :).Anyways every summer I struggle with patchy skin,open pores,and melting makeup.So I did a few things to improve it and thanks to a few favorite products of mine I managed to get through summers without a pimple or a bad foundation day :) I wear makeup to work daily so this post included hours of research and staring at my skin :p

BIODERMA MICELLE WATER:

If you have oily skin or suffered from sensitivity to cleansers this one is for you.It takes out every last bit of makeup from your very pores and skin although squeaky clean is not dry.

NEUTROGENA DEEPCLEAN FACE WASH:

My HG facewash.It works great for oily skin and acne prone skin.

SKINDINAVIA NO MORE SHINE MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY

 Hi my sweet sunny peaches,

Hope you all are managing fine in these hot,no-electricity,back-to-old-hand-held-Chinese-fans summers :p .I am just waiting for the Monsons to arrive.The rain spell adds so much romance and freshness to summers every year.In the meanwhile, I fan myself at workplace and thank my stars I managed to land this bottle of makeup spray before summer time.Why???Read on to know :)

When it comes to skin types I am hopelessly oily.This category is right next to horribly oily on the oil range for skin.My skin is oily,has open pores and sweats profusely.I have tried so many products which claim to mattify and control oil that I am just weary of those tall claims now.I have splurged fat dollars on tons of oil controlling products.So when I came across this one,I was highly skeptical.I was so ready to not to be impressed at all.So did I like it?Was it average or good?Was it good,but not too good for the price?Lets see..

First,lets start with a few shots of this beauty :)

 I got this 8oz NO MORE SHINE bottle and a small 2oz REGULAR one for 38$ from the website.A very dear friend, (yeah the same Umreeka wali :p ) ,got it for me. Skindinavia currently has a better promotion going on.They are giving a primer,a regular and a no more shine spray for 38$.Subscribe to the newsletter to know and a few FB pages in Pakistan can get you those in a good price.By good I mean about 1000-2000 pkr for a 4 oz version.

I really like the packaging.Its handy,easy to use and travel friendly.Its not very high end-ish, but it is a love.The spray is equipped with a transparent cap. Nozzle dispenses the product in a beautiful fine mist.I used the REGULAR type too.However,the nozzle does not make such a fine mist in that one.Might be a one time thing.As compared to URBAN DECAY DESLICK,(which is the regular version manufactured by skindinavia for UD) even that mist is fine and evenly dispensed.So,you don't have to worry about big splotches of liquid running down your face after using it.

The spray is parfume free and transparent.

After your makeup,you need to spray it from 8 inches distance 2-4 times.You should make a 'X' and a 'T' formation,but I can never manage it :p Klutzy me.So,after shaking it well I just do a few short spritz on both sides of face.A little pssht on nose specially.You need to do this before mascara application otherwise your mascara might decide to never come off :)

Since there is not much to tell.Let me declare the final verdict.

IT WORKS.

I mean not like..."MY-FAV-BEAUTY-GURU-SAID-IT-WORKS-SO-I-THINK-IT-DOES."It really does its F****** job so well.Excuse my language,but I have every reason to be excited.I mean here I am.A girl with very oily skin.No foundation can keep me matte.The mattest ones fail on me.They take longer then others,but oil always shows.Always.I wold not mind the oil so much if my makeup would stay put, but sadly it disintegrates and looks ugly.Then is the problem of my pores.When I wear foundation I used to wish for something that would make my the powdery look on my pores go away.you can imagine how bad it must look.The powder and the matte makeup was my requirement,but instead of giving me a flawless look it gave me a caked up look.However,when I use this spray over my makeup it  bonds with the powder and makes a satin layer which stays for 7-8hours.Oil still peeps through at 5-6 hours,but makeup stays.The pores are not highlighted and my makeup looks fresh and natural all day.

After 7 hours.See the mild oil buildup on my  face.Normally my makeup dissolves by 7 hours.

I have been using it for 3 months now.I have tested it in all conditions and with all my makeup.Here are a few observations:

1)-Primers might reduce the result quality.I use HOURGLASS primer and even though its the best in the world I feel as if I don't look that good at the end of my day when I pair primer with spray.

2)-Spray works best with powder foundation,mineral makeup and over makeup setting powders.I use it over my Diana of London two way pancake to cover pores and get an even natural look for a good 8 hours.

3)-2-4 sprays are just a guideline.You need to work out how much you need.in the start of the heat spell I felt as if the efficiency of my spray was reduced,but when I increase the number of sprays things went back to normal.At the same time you should bear in mind that excess can react with makeup formula too.So use it wisely.

4)-If you are very oily you still need a long staying, matt foundation.The spray will extend wear time,but it can not do magic with a foundation formula that is wrong for your skin type.

GOOD POINTS:

1)-Effective

2)-Locks makeup in.

3)-Controls oil.It obviously does not control sweat so you still need blotting sheets.

4)-Does not cause break outs.Good for acne prone skin.

5)-Does not cause dryness.dryness. In fact its hydrating.

BAD POINTS:

1)-Availability.

2)-Price

RATING:

Drum roll...

It gets a super heart ,(no surprises) and it has made it in my "Most Recommended" list.To see other recommendations click HERE.

TARTE AMAZONIAN CLAY 12 HOUR FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATION

Hello Sugar peaches <3

I hope summers are treating you as well as they have been treating us Lahorites or Lahories :p.The weather this whole week has been charmant.

Well today's post is the most requested post by all friends.Its a high end foundation which is for oily skin and claims 12 hour of full coverage.Its vegan and famous too.Yes you guessed it.Its Tarte Amazonian clay 12 hour full coverage foundation.I will be reviewing shade Light Medium Sand.So lets check out if this baby makes a good second skin.

SLEEK CONTOUR PALETTE In MEDIUM

Contouring is a very important part of makeup.This art can help you bring out that X factor in your face which simple makeup can not achieve.High cheek bones and a shapely forehead with a beautiful prominent chin is not only popular in west ,but even Asians favor them while looking at over all beauty aspects.When I learned to give contouring its long due importance, my eye shadow kit failed to provide me with the true rich brown required to chisel and contour face without making me look orangish.So,I got this palette by sleek.It comes in three shades:Light,Medium and Dark.I got medium.

Was it a good decision?Was the shade "Medium" a good match for me?Read to know:

URBAN DECAY DE SLICK OIL CONTROL MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY + AFTER PHOTO

Hi,

In the hot days of Pakistani summers when everyone's makeup(if they are brave enough to put it on) is melting you often wish for a sealant or a product that would lock your makeup in place.The idea of a makeup fixing spray is not very new.Makeup Artists heavily rely on sprays to keep the bridal or model makeup intact.Now these sprays have made it to the regular customers too.I got the chance to try a makeup setting spray by Urban Decay too.Basically UD has two to three types of sprays ..Deslick,All nighter and Chill.I have come to know that De slick works best for oily skin so I got that one obviously.

How was it?Read to know:

ELF STUDIO BLUSH In TICKLED PINK

Greetings my lovely pink peaches :) 

If you,like me, are a an unable-to-blush-no matter-what type of person then you must have an idea of how useful blushes can prove to be on occasions **winks**.A pretty pinky glow on cheeks definitely adds tons to a girl's beauty.

I am a big fan of power blushes for being very easy to use.Today's post is on a powder blush with a pretty name.Its E.L.F powder blush in "Tickled Pink".I prefer to try more ELF blushes now because they are carmine free and halal.

Was it any good?Read post to know.

HOW TO PUT YOUR MELT-PROOF SUMMER FACE ON

Hello Peaches,

Well that is one weird title for a post.My imagination might be running a little wild, but lets be honest... every girl wants this figurative "SUMMER PROOF MAKEUP FACE".So after years and years of "research",trials and tests I have finally found a few things that really work in the heat of June and the humidity of Mon son.So,ladies the next time you go shopping be sure to take along this list of "Summer Arsenal" for some reference.

FACE WASH

The day starts with washing our pretty faces.In summers a lot of responsibility relies on the shoulders nozzle of your face wash.A good face wash will not only clean your skin to pores,but prevent the dryness and rebound oiliness.My favorites are:

1)-Neutrogena Deep Clean Face wash

2)-Clean n Clear morning burst Face Wash

3)-Cetaphil Gentle Face Wash

I like to spritz my face with Rose water for extra hydration and a little matt look.It keep my skin fresh and prevents rebound oiliness.

MOISTURIZER:

1)-St  Ives collagen elastin moisturizer

 

2)-Clean and Clear moisturizer

3)-Boscia Oil Free Moisturizer
