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

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
