What's In My Bag: Back To School Edition!

Summer Break Is Over!
I understand if you've gotten tan over the summer break and you're worried about going back to school with uneven, dull skin, so am i! So here is a list of makeup items i ALWAYS keep in my makeup bag that make me look fresh and blooming in school.

These are my everyday favorite products. Mostly from the drugstore.

The featured foundation base is my all time favourite CILINQUE SuperBalanced liquid foundation, the coverage is light and feels like skin. And this is why i LOVE it. Now who would want to cake up their face to school? I know I wouldn't. So this one is my best friend.
Market price: $25

Next is my holy grail highlighter from COLOURPOP, in shade "lunch money". Why i love it? Because it's creamy and long lasting. Also, affordable. The shade is pearly and perfect for a fresh look. Paired with a rosey blush on, you bet it can make the dullest, sleepiest face look bright and bloomy.
Market price: $8

Talking about a rosey blush, my bag features this perfect blush from The Balm, in the shade "LACE".
INSTAIN is long-wearing powder staining blush, and that is why i love it.
Market price: $22

Next comes my favourite blush brush to apply my blush on with. And i'm featuring BH Cosmetic's Metallic Pink Blush Brush from their set. Why i love it? Mainly because of how soft and fluffy it is. And oh the metallic pink shade!
market price of the set: $20

Mascara comes next, and my pick is my all time favourite and long lasting Rocket Volume from Maybelline.
Market price: $7.77

CoverGirl lipperfection lipcolour in the shade Rush is my everyday, natural lip shade. It's not really matte and not really glossy. It gives more of a natural finish and that is what i like about it. It may not last all day long, but the shade is what i love about it. Makes my face pop whenever i wear it.
Market price: $6.74
Since it's no longer available on the website, there's new lip color rang "Colorlicious", and the shade similar to Rush is "Sweetheart Blush".

Lastly, how can a bag be good to go without a perfume in it? So my pick for daily wear is the one and only world famous scent, 5th Avenue by Elizabeth Arden. It's very Chic and fresh, and EVER LASTING. Seriously, it lasts the longest. And stays the same.
Market price: $48-$58

Metallic Pink Brushes Review

Bh Cosmetics Brushes 

The New Metallic Pink Brush Set

Metallic pink Brush set is one of the 6 newest brush sets from Bh, that includes the gorgeous gorgeous bh chic (set of 14 brushes that comes in a chic case), Bright white (set of 6 brushes with cosmetic bag), Neon pink (set of 6 brushes with cosmetic bag), Dual Fiber (set of 6 with brush roll) and Double duty (set of 6 fiber brush set). 

Metallic pink brush set is my first from bh cosmetics brush range, i've only tried their eye shadows and highlighters, and because i've heard all the great things about their brushes and was more than satisfied from their eyeshadows and highlighters, here i am giving it a try with this 14 piece set, that have all the essentials. Previously, i have used the bobbi brown wooden brush kit and brushes from Avon, Urban Decay, and Essence. So i know the difference between high end and the normal ones to the very low quality ones. And i will be answering all the questions you wanna know about this set in this post.

Here is the first look of the set and the metallic case it comes with. 

How do they look and how is their quality?: Well, to be very honest, they look amazing. Very high-end. And the bag they comes in is great for travelling, plus because the 14 brush set includes all the essentials, this is a great deal. The quality is satisfying, oh-so-very satisfying. The brushes are SOFT AS F! The texture is great as well. 

What is the price of this set?: Original price: $29.00

Discounted prices: $20.00 (There is 31% off these days on their official site)

I got mine for PKR 2800.

Where did i bought mine from?: I got mine from Cosmetic Planet, Karachi. You can find them on FaceBook as well, i'll be posting the link below. 

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

with each brush.

Powder Brush: Or the blush brush. Also, it can be used for brushing off the baking face powder.

Angled brush: The angles contouring brush. It's great for the jaw line contour and for the hair line contour.

Foundation brush: I actually have never applied my foundation with a thin brush, it's either with a pizza sponge or the buffing brush. I would rather use this one for the under eye concealing. 

Large, medium and rounded shadow brushes: Now these ones are my favorite! They blend so wellllll. The crease blending game strong if you have these, HONEST! 

Pointed, firm crease brush, and blending brush: Again, these ones can be used for blending shadows in the crease area, or for the shadow application. And because there are different brushes, you can feel fry to keep some for the darker shadows and some for the lighter.

Concealer brushes: Big and small concealer brushes, also, can be used for shadow application, but you already got enough of those with this set lol. So this is another good thing about this set.

Lip brush: Do i say more? haha, this brush is an average sized lip brush, great for small and big lips. 

And finally the Brow brushes: That comes in two different sizes. So, what else is this set missing? I think this set is great how it is.

Carli Bybel Palette

Review 
My two favorite things in one! Bh cosmetics and Carli's amazing choice of highlighters and eyeshadows in one palette. And not just that, the shadows are extremely pigmented and the colours are rich! There are 14 eyeshadow colors and 4 highlighter. My favorite are the 2 lighter shades of hoghlighters. In the eyeshadows, purple, taupe and bronze shades are just to die for! And oh, the gold ones!
Have a look at the palette.

The packaging is simple and pretty, and the price of this palette is

reasonable. I got mine for 2200 PKR from Cosmetic Planet, you can find them on facebook and on Instagram, I'll be posting the link down below at the end of the post.

  I've been creating so many looks with this palette, from basic pin up girl look to purple-taupe smokey eyes to bronze and gold smokey eye! and with these amazing highlighters, this new palette is my this months top favorite makeup product! 

Just. Look. At. Them. Highlighters!! And how pigmented they are! I have all the nice things to say about this palette, only that, i think it's missing a dark shade like a blackest black. With that, it would have been a complete package. Well, for me, at least. 

The darkest shade of the highlighter, if you're fair like me, can be used as a bronzer. But a shimmery bronzer? i'm not really a fan of it. So here's a trick, you can use it for your eyes, yes! For creating a bronze-gold smokey eye, it would be amazing for weddings and night functions. I will be posting makeup tutorials using this palette really really soon. 

One more thing i love about the palette is that it comes with both, matte and shimmery eyeshadows. 

My first ever experience with BH cosmetic eyeshadow palettes was when i bought the 88 shimmer eyeshadow palette and i was so impressed. The price paid and the pigments, and colors, everything is satisfying. So, after that, i didn't even think twice before buying this one, i just went for it, and i can happily say, i'm satisfied and impressed just like i was before.  

Heres where i bought mine from: https://www.facebook.com/cosmeticplanetpk/

(the owners name is Uroosa, and she's amazing!)
