BTW Pakistan

BY THE WAY.
A new clothing brand, recently opened at MM Alam road, Lahore, has three things that got my full attention, Creativity and Chic designs, and not to forget, the quality of their clothes. It was on my longer than river Nile list to visit and see BTW Pakistan, and i finally got the chance to do it. And i have all the great thing to tell you guys about the trending brand. But first, Here's the kurta i bought.


You guys know how much i love bright and bold, playful designs, so when my eyes laid on this Kurta, i bought it, but obviously after i checked the lawn quality, which is almost the same as sapphire, almost. Sapphire lawn is my all time favorite!! I paired this kurta with Forever 21 diamond drop earrings and VS secret charm body mist, both of these things i got from ENEM liberty. THEY HAVE FOREVER 21 NOW!! And i will be doing a complete blog post on it but need to tell you guys that their accessories are AMAZING, and i got this pack of three earrings (the ones in the picture above) in PKR 860. It's wayyy better than Accessorize here. 
Anyway, back to the Kurta, i wore it to Islamabad to visit my Sister and my one and only niece, and i loved it, and they loved it too. So it's a win. You guys, go check it out, NOW, and as far as the price rang, i got this one for PKR 2200. So it's not that expensive.

The next thing i like about BTW is their scarf rang.


There's like a huge wall of scarfs all over it, and i matched this one with my kurta. The scarfs are big, so they can be used as a dopata with Kurtas, which i used it as. Wasn't going to, but my mom, you know? And it looked chic! I could've taken a picture of my outfit, but i forget in such a rush to get ready and hit the road. But i did take selfies LOL. I'll post one on my instagram @ayeshatmua.


I heart fashion, yes is do. I'm a shoppoholic, yes i am. And i find BTW another weakness for me now. Yes i do. 

Sign, i do have to collect money too you know for a new Ipod, i'm done with my old one, it's super slow and i've dropped it way too many times now. Typical me. But these brands are draining me out. I need to take a break, which is what i'm planning now, It's 45 degrees C out there today, Holy Cow, so i'm going to go Hibernate now, see you guys soon, and if you found this heplful, please share it and/or comment on my Instagram picture of this kurta to let me know! xoxo

Ali Xeeshan with Warda

The Great Collab 
Ali Xeeshan working with Warda and coming up with the designs of a lifetime is what i'm impatiently looking forward to. The collection will be available in the market to grab from 26th march 2016 and i promise you'll find me there standing in front of the store before it's even open. Ali's fashion speaks for itself, every design every pattern is bold and beautiful. His use of bright and bold colors in this collection is impossible to put in words. I'm most impressed by his vibrant color palette here, the lemon yellow, the black, the sky blue, everything is on point. Here are some of the designs Neha Rajput is rocking in.


Do i need to say more? The gorgeous Neha in the gorgeous designs of the king of fashion. What else do you want in your wardrobe this summers?




I love the way Ali's playing so confidently with colors as bright as these and coming up with patterns so different from the basic market that is so busy in following the same trend everyone is wearing now. Ali's work is different, it's edge and bright, and not many brands can keep up with a bold signature style like Ali does. His work can been seen from across the room. His work has a personality, i know i know, but somehow, it does. It's just simply stunning, and i can't wait to get my hands on one. 



I'm not sure about the price rang and other details at the moment but once i get on my hands on some of these, i'll be updating you guys about everything else that matters. For now, this is all i can update you, I'm warning you guys, the trend is about to change, and Ali will be leading us to it. So you might as well just stop buying the basic kurtas that every other brand has on their racks and wait for the new trend, the change. 

Also, you guys, stay tuned for more details to come, for now this is it. xoxo

Saira Rizwan

Spring Summer Lawn 2016
Saira Rizwan is one of those brands that have a different style and edge. If we look at the trend these days, the prints and style, most of the brands are copying each other and it's getting harder and harder to guess the signature style of every brand. Saira Rizwan is different. It have a boldness and a richness in it's prints and style. And it's new spring summer lawn collection speaks for itself.

ROSE QUARTZ-LAWN



ROSE QUARTZ is from their unstitched rang. This floral printed kurta with silk dopatta and cotton pants comes with embroidered hem and sleeves. And is available in the market for PKR 6,350. You need to have at least one of these in your wardrobe this summer. What else will you want to wear on a fancy lunch with friends? Jeans? I don't think so. 

TROPICAL-LAWN




TROPICAL unstitched lawn suit is a mixture of bold prints and patterns. It comes with silk dopatta and cotton pants. It has embroidered front, hem and sleeves. And it's available in the market for PKR 6,350. I would prefer wearing this one at some casual family dinner, yup, that's the plan. Oh, and a nude make up with it! I want a dinner now. 

SORBET-LAWN




SORBET, just looking at this dress makes me picture myself in it, enjoying the wind in my hair at some sexy ass location in Italy. I'm sorry, but i can't help it, IT'S GORGEOUS!! Tell me you feel the same? This drop dead gorgeous set includes a 2.5m silk dopatta (that can dance with the wind when i'm in Italy wearing this, yup), cotton pants and embroidered front, hem and sleeves. And is available in the market to grab for PKR 6,350. 

GREEN FOREST-LAWN




The name says it all. Green, warn pink and gold, all coming together here, making the most beautiful of all patterns in the market to date. This one is my most favorite of all Saira Rizwan designs. The dopatta is a classic printed silk and pants are cotton. It have an embroidered neckline, hem and sleeves. This one is also unstitched. Can't wait to have this beauty in my wardrobe. There are so many other designs Saira Rizwan have in stock, and some are already out of stock, so y'all need to hurry and grab one while you can. These four are the ones i found most beautiful in their collection. I go for bold prints and bright colours and these are just to die for. 

I will be posting more lawn reviews and brands to buy from real soon, if you guys find my reviews helpful, do pin and share! for now, take care and have a happy summer ahead. xoxo

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.

Here's the link of where i got mine from: https://www.facebook.com/cosmeticplanetpk
