ColourPop Lippie Stix

Review of Sundays in Silverlake
Lippie Stix came out a while back, and they were a hit! With everyone loving them and their amazing colour range, and Matte, satin, Creme and glossy finish, they are never going to get old. ColourPop cosmetics aren't really a popular brand here in Pakistan, well mostly because it's only available online and Pakistanis aren't really a fan of online shopping. I never really shopped online myself till i came across a makeup page that offers cash on delivery, so i decided to give it a chance and i placed an order with Sana of Cosmetic Candy. And i have to say, she's the sweetest person, and i can totally trust her. She gives the best makeup advice as well and helps you out deciding what to buy. I have to alert you guys here too about pages that are selling fake makeup items, look out for them! I'll post the link of Cosmetic Candy page at the end of this post, for my review and swatches, keep reading!


So here it is, ColourPop lippie Stix that i'm totally obsessed with. I was looking for different shades of lip colours and this bow of heaven is everything. The name is Sundays in silverlake. And there are 6 different shades, Cougar, Thirsty, Pasties, Chella, Parker and Ace. Cougar, Parker and Thirsty are in Matte finish! My absolute favourite is Parker, it's the colour i wear the most and on everyday basis, it's natural and fresh. thirsty and cougar are sexy af! they are my choice for special occasions ;) 


This is cougar, this baby is a fresh red colour in Matte finish that i loveeeeeeeeeee. 


This set is actually amazing because it has different colours and the price is affordable as well. I got mine for 4400. It's not much for 6 amazing lippies. So this is a great deal. I actually prefer buying sets instead of buying one by one. The only two shades i don't like in this set are Ace and Chella. Ace is nude, kind of, it's veryyyy light and doesn't look good on its own, so i used it as a lighter shade of the ombre look on my lips, using stage line cosmetics lip pencil in dark coffee shade for the dark shade. 


This is how the Ombre lip turned out, not bad huh?

The next shade which i'm not really a fan of is Chella, it's orange. I like orange lipcolours, they are fresh and looks good on me but this one is a bit weird (lol). I did try it on, and instantly removed it, the colour looks like some cheap orange lipstick that comes with Barbie doll sets for kids, yeah lol. 


Thirsty is nice, it's warm pink and matte, LOVE! I didn't get a chance to do a makeup look for all the shades, i will do it very soon though. For now, here are the swatches down in the picture.


See the orange one? yeah that's what i mean when i referred to the lipsticks in barbie sets. Except that, every colour is amazing!! The link to the page is at the end of the post, and i don't think i have anything else to say except that i love you all and thanks you reading my blog! please don't forget to share and pin! love you loads xoxo

MARCH MUST HAVE - Face Care

Clearasil
Acne Be Gone!



THE SCIENCE OF LOOKING FLAWLESS!

Looking flawless is no accident. It takes times and the right products. 
We've all been through that awkward stage of pimples and acne breakouts. And it's fair to say that it's not something we enjoy having on our skin. Ever had an important event coming up which you're all excited about and than waking up the morning of the event to find a huge zit on your forehead? yup, we've all been there. 
Pimples can give a very unhygienic and impure look to our skin. And when they finally go away they leave that dirty black marks which seem impossible to get rid off. But don't worry there are a few products that can get rid of our unwanted friends with the right use and some patient. 
I came across this amazing product for acne a month ago and i couldn't help but share it with you guys. Not only does it get rid of the pimples with time but it also reduces the marks and spots left behind. This product is a must have for those going through acne or trying to get rid of some unwanted spots. 
I picked mine up from Al-fatah, though I believe you can find it anywhere. 
I started getting breakouts and soon my forehead and right cheek were infused with tiny pimples. Every morning i would wake up with a new blob on my face. Clearasil helped me get rid of them big time!! And it also made my skin shinier, clearer and of course flawless. I always believed that for flawless makeup you first need  flawless skin. Not only will you be using waaayy less makeup on your face, you'll also feel a lot more excited about trying out different products and looks. 
Okay, enough blabbing, lets get to the deets!!
Okay so, No one wants to read difficult names of acids and chemicals found in this product. I never liked that part of a review so let's skip that, yeah?
However there are a few pointers you might want to know about the face wash. It is perhaps a very strong formula, it will strip your skin of all the oil and dry it out. This is a big win for people with extra oily skin. However if your skin is sensitive and dry like mine, you'll experience dry patches around the T zone of your face, but don't freak out, its nothing a little moisturizer can't fix. I suggest all of you to try it out and see how it suits you before you start using it daily.
The formula is a very creamy light blue colored mixture. You need a very small amount of it and it's enough to cover your face and neck. Dab some in your palm and using your finger apply it to your face just like you would do with a normal mask. Keep it away from your eye area! Since the formula is very strong, the stink will burn your eyes a little at first, but it's nothing to worry about unless you're not getting is anywhere near your eyes. You can use this product both ways. As a mask or as a wash;

Directions of use

  • As a wash, wet face, and squeeze a small amount into hands
  • Massage gently onto face avoiding the delicate eye area
  • Rinse
  • As a mask apply on to wet face
  • Leave on for 1 minute and rinse 
Use as a wash 2-3 times daily and as a mask use it twice or thrice in a week. You'll start to see difference in about 5 days. 
I really hope this helps all you girlies get rid of your unwanted guests, and if they ever reappear..You know now how to kick them out!!
