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!)

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

The Next Big Thing!

Powder Lipstick

Yes, powder lipstick is a thing now, and it's amazing! And as far as i'm guessing, it'll be taking over the world in no time!
L'Oreal Paris introduced this amazing powder lipstick AKA Tint Caresse in Asia (only in Malaysia, i guess) a while back and it's a complete hit! Now, L'Oreal will be launching it in the west and other countries pretty soon (hopefully in Pakistan as well), and i can't wait to get my hands on one. It is the FIRST ever powder lipstick in the world.
I haven't used it yet, since it's not available in Pakistan just yet, but in this post i'll be telling you guys about the lipstick and the reviews it's getting.


L'Oreal Paris promises that this lipstick is super blendable and feels like you have nothing on your lips, and believe it or not, this lipstick won't be drying your lips like other matte lipsticks and glosses. Also, it's Kiss-proof!! The color range it had was amazing! and since it's still yet to come in the west, i'm clueless about the colors available there. 


Here are the colors the product is available in Korea and their swatches! I'm so excited for this, seriously! Specially because of it's non-drying and kiss-proof feature. Other matte lipsticks just dries and gives you lip flakes. And if this lipstick is a solution for all your questions, then i'm pretty sure it'll be ruling over the makeup world and will be the new holy grail of makeup artists all over the world, i just can't wait to get my hands on this and try for myself, and when i do, i will be updating on the review for you guys, with its pros and cons. But for you, this is all. I love you all and if you too are excited for this, share it and leave your comments, xoxo.

Starry Night Eyes

Makeup Tutorial.
First of all, Happy New Years ya'll!! This look that i'm doing in this post is inspired by the new year's eve makeup look, it's glittery and perfect for a party. New Years may be gone, but hey, it'll be a year full of events and parties! hope for the best, always.


Things i used: 
for eyes:
- bh cosmetic 88 shimmer eye shadow palette 
- red brown shade from kryolan for my crease
- Rimmel london Wonder'full mascara
- essence white eye pencil
for face:
- Luscious cosmetics contour palette
- Nivea hydration lotion
- body shop primer
- Rimmel lasting finish foundation 
- Rimmel liquid concealer
lips:
- maybeline lipstick in honey beige 

Directions:
This post is mainly about the eyes, so i skipped taking pictures of me doing my face, lips and eyebrows.
You know the drill of applying foundation, i moisturize my skin and applied primer before applying my foundation, because i have extra dry skin and i get patches and fine lines if my skin is not moisturized and primed properly, specially in winters.


So once i'm done with my face, i started with applying the red brown matte eyeshadow on my crease and blending it well towards the outside. I'm using naked 2's blending brush (i guess its naked 1's, i'm not sure) but the bigger the blending brush, the better. Bh cosmetic Sculpt and contour brush set has some good brushes as well that can be used for blending the eye shadow.


Next, you cover the entire eye lid with the blueist shade from your bh cosmetic palette, blending it with the red brown shade on the crease area. Blend it well till you get the smokey effect. Here i'm using a small blending brush.


Apply the blue shade under your eye and blend it using the red brown shade, i'm using a small eye shadow brush for this. also, towards the inner eye, apply pearl shade or silver shade from the bh cosmetic palette. And on your inner eye lid, apply essence eye pencil in white.


Apply glitter fixative over your eye lid and press on the blue glitter. (i'm using a normal glitter that comes in a tiny glass bottle without any brand name, can be found easily at any arts and craft shop)
Apply all over the apple of your eye.


Finish your eyes by applying mascara and fake lashes if looking for a heavier look. 
And there you have it. This look is easy, bold and beautiful. :) I hope you guys like it, and if you do, follow me on insta @ayeshatmua for more makeup pictures and 15 sec video tutorials! I love you all. xoxo

Hair Care

Keratin Hair Care.
Dikson's Keratin Action, Shampoo and cream.

I know i'm late on my blog post (always am) but you know i always wait for something worth posting and something that is informative and helpful to you guys! So here it is, Hair care product review. This one's for Keratin treated hair, and also for damaged, dry, rough ones.


My hair are not Keratin treated, but i got these anyway. I wanted to try something new, I'm always trying something new, you guys know that, but when it comes to my hair, i like to stick to my favourite old shampoo (Finesse that is). But this time, i really wanted to buy these and try, and let's be honest, the expensive-looking sleek bottles made me go for it, lol. What's the worst that can happen, right? So anyway, i've been using them and i have to say, i like the results. My hair are not rough, they are more manageable, and healthier. So this was a good decision to get them. But, yes there's a but. They are expensive! each bottle is like PKR 1000 something. (can't remember the exact price, but if someone wanna know message me and i'll check and hit back)


Okay, tell you what, i'm thinking of getting or doing myself a keratin hair treatment, that is if i get the right material, i have been looking for it everywhere but couldn't find it! but i will, and once i get it done, i will be continuing using these two and will be updating you guys on how it works on kertain treated hair. Because so far, i'm very much satisfied with the result. 


The shampoo won't get much foamy or leathery, but they smell as expensive as they are. Unlike other shampoos, it doesn't dry your hair at all, and i may not recommend it for people with oily hair. As my hair are super dry, and frizzy, this shampoo and cream are my two new best friends! People with dry hair can totally trust Dikson's Keratin Action due. Tried and tested, you guys should give this a try! I don't think i have anything else to say, expect that i love you guys and i'm hope you find this review worth reading! xoxo
