Review & Swatches : Christine Liner EYstyle Water Proof

My Thoughts :

I bought this eyeliner few months back from local market, when I was going crazy after color eyeliners. I swatched it on Christine counter and instantly fallen in love with its gorgeous turquoise color. It also has a tiny shimmers in it which looks very beautiful when dries up. The applicator brush is very thin and draws a neat line around eyes. The consistency of this product is a but thin that is why it needs to layer it twice or thrice to get opaque line. It has a mild fragrance too which is like rose water. It does not smudge or transfer once dried.

This eyeliner claims to be water proof and hypoallergenic. The water proof claim is not true but I don't care about it as I got a gorgeous eyeliner to add a pop of color in my eyes in a steal price of Rs. 200 . What could you ask more for Rs. 200 , seriously ?

I have been using it a lot lately as with a toddler around I cannot spend much time on my eye makeup as I previously used to do. So a colored liner is a brilliant way to make up your eyes beautiful without spending more time infront of mirror. Just a swipe of this colored liner on my eyelids, some kohl in my eyes, my favorite coral lippie and I am good to go on shopping , outing and any where else.

What you would like :

• cheap price
• easily available
• gorgeous color
• shimmery eyeliner
• fragrance
• comes off easily with water
• does not smudge

What you wont like :

• does not live up to its water proof claim

My Ratings:

3.5 out of 5

Price & Availability:

I bought it for Rs. 200 from local market, available nationwide

So tell me girls, what do you think of today's post ? what eyeliner is your favorite ?

Beauty on a budget : Best buys under 500 Rs.

Hi dear, few years back I did a post on few products that could be bought under Rs. 100 and believe me I got many compliments and appreciation from my readers. I know this fact that we live in a country where most of the girls still cannot spend much on beauty and make up accessories. I also kept this fact in mind that online shopping is still out of reach for masses here in Pakistan.  Keeping all this in mind I have gathered few products again that are my favorites and some are included in my holy grail products yet these are affordable and available easily nationwide.

Lets have a look at these :

• Loreal Nutri Gloss Mirror Shine Shampoo and Conditioner - I have been using these two for more than three years now and no looking back since then. Price Around Rs. 220 each

• Pond's Pimple Clear Face Wash - A multi action face wash that I have repurchased twice. Also mentioned it in my summer essentials price is Rs.250 -  Read Review HERE

• MUA eyeshadow primer - a very good primer yet affordable Price 250 Rs. 

• Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me - my go to lip balm when I do not feel like doing make up.  I love how it makes my lips soft and kissable. Price Rs. 350

• Garnier BB Creams - for normal skin the other one is for oily skin - I mix both of them to achieve flawless skin with an healthy glow. Price Rs. 400  Read Review HERE

• Christine Coloured eyeliners in teal - funky colors eyeliners for brighten up your everyday look- Price Rs. 150 . Review Coming Soon

• Rivaaj Uk lipstick - it is very moisturizing , creamy and stay put for good 3 hours. Could not find more shades in it , but love it. Price 150 Rs. -

• Medora London Lipstick - a variety of colors are available - It is matte lipstick in Full Fuschia .Price Rs. 120 - Read Review HERE

• Essence All About Matt Transculant Loose Powder - It is a transparent loose powder which can be used as a make up fixer and blending powder. I love how it keeps my make up fresh for hours. Price 550 Rs. Review Coming Soon

• Essence Kohl Pencil in Black - It is creamy , black , does not tug eyes while applying, the only problem is its staying power. It does not stay put for longer hours or if you have got oily lids. I use it with dusting a little bit black eyeshadow on top of it to make it stay longer. Price Rs. 175 Review coming soon

• Sweet Touch Sparkling Dust - Its a multi purpose shimmering powder - I use it as eyeshadow pigment , some times as highlighter on top of my blusher. Price Rs. 250 - Read Review HERE

• Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss in coral delight , Bought it recently and loves how yummy it smells like vanilla cupcakes , its a sheer lipgloss with fine gold shimmers which looks beautiful and reflects light. Price 495 - Review coming soon

• Miss Rose Cake Eye Liner - its an inexpensive alternative to the infamous Karyolan aqua cake liner . it is not the blackest black but does it job well. Rs. 200

While I am writing this post , several other products are keep coming to my mind which I forgot to capture in the above picture. I guess I would have to write another blog post as a sequal to this one. If you have any product in your favorites list , please do share with me and my readers.

NOTD: Christine nail polish

Hey girls , today i am wearing a christine nail polish on my nails. I have this nail colour in my stash for past few months and i am in love with it.

Its a duo chrome burnt purple and have red and bronze specks in it. It looks beautiful in day lights. The colour is very hard to capture with my silly camera . The picture below is taken in sun light , you can see how beautiful it looks. I have applied two coats here , without any top or base coat.

The shade number is doubtful as i have lost its label which had the shade number on it. But it was 96 or 94 number , this is what i could remember.

This particular shade is very classy and elegent. Its a mysterious kind of colour which looks different in certain lights.

Christine Cosmetics are very popular among Pakistani girls due to their affordable prices. I personally like their nail lacquers because they have a variety of colours and have a decent quality too.
Price & Availability :
Christine Nail colours are available nationwide for Rs. 60 - 80 (less than 1$ )

What are you wearing on your nails right now ? Do you own christine nail colours , what do you like about these ? Share your thoughts with me :)

Christine Single color eyeshade: Review & EOTD

Hey girls this is a mini review of one of my favorite eyeshadow. I am in love with Khaki eye shades or eye pencils and christine eyeshadow is the most cheapest and affordable eyeshadow i have in Khaki shade.

Christine Cosmetics is a Pakistani brand and this is very popular among Pakistani girls because of their affordable range of products. I love their nail colors alot.

Christine eye shades are available in a variety of colors . I bought mine from Imtiaz Super Store for just 50 Rs. ( less than a Dollar ) . It has a velvet finish and looks great when applied wet.

I would not claim that it is the best eye shade . But it is worth the money you have paid for it. If you are looking for an affordable eyeshadow to just throw in your travel bag to carry around this is the one . It has a transparent plastic lid which is flip open. This is shade C-023

On the back the ingredients are mentioned. It is always good to know whats inside your product. 

I applied this eye shade in the following picture, I applied christine eyeshade wet. The color is not so long lasting but it can be increased if you apply it wet or on a good eyeshadow base.

Do you like this post ? Have you tried this Christine eyeshades ? Kindly do comment below and leave your opinion .

Yours truly,

• Diana of london super long wear eyeliner in blackest black - Rs. 360

I was looking for a everyday blush and at rimmel counter i swatched different blushers on my cheeks and found this one the most natural looking blush. 

loved the rimmel logo embossed on it

I also swatched a few christine eyeshadows there . I was looking for a satin finish Khaki eyeshadow to wear on my eyes . Thats why i bought this :

It does not contain any sparkles or glitter in it . And when applied wet it lasted on my eyes for good 4 to 5 hours. its cheap too only 50 Rs.

Best Beauty buys under Rs.100

Hey girls , yesterday i was re arranging my make up stuff , and there i got an idea of this post. I have so many things that are good and budget friendly too, why should not i share these with my readers ??? I know that many of Pakistani girls still cannot afford to buy expensive products . I dedicate this post to my Pakistani girls out there :)
 i have selected some products for you  i like them most and you can buy them without any hassle. Prices are all under Rs. 100. And you can find them easily at any cosmetic store nearby. Have a look :

1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARe - Rs. 75
2. Aqua Nail color in 775 - Rs. 75 ( Read review )
3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry flavor - Rs. 95
4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color - Rs. 99 ( Read review )
5. Marlin Nail Colors - Rs. 80
6. Christine Glitter eye pencil in emarald green - Rs. 55
7. Davis glitter pencil in green - Rs. 90
8. Becute Lipstick - Rs. 95
9. Femina Lip Pencil - Rs. 60

Now take a closer  look at these :

1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARE :

 I bought this facewash when i was on a trip and realized that i forgot to put any facewash in my bag . I bought it as i am familiar with its brand Skin care . I used it for few days and i think it is a great substitute for soap . So girls stop using soap to wash your face and try this economical facewash . It has neem extracts and gives a very fresh feeling after washing. Keeps you under control , but i am in doubt of its acne care part , as i did not use it that much anyhow I like this !!

 what i do not like :  there is no ingredients list on it. They should include the ingredients list.

2. Aqua Nail Color in 775 :

I have done a NOTD post with this nail color earlier , you can read that here. In short, its packaging is cute, color intensity is great, just one coat needed and it goes opaque. No chipping for three days . The color itself is best for the summers. It is my most favorite nail color this summer. I bought mine from Millenium mall, Karachi

3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry Flavor. 

I bought this lip balm in winter season . It sooths your lips and keeps them moisturzed with a sweet flavor of cherry. its very sheer , just gives a hint of pink color on your lips . Smells delicious but the smell does not stays longer.  I use it before applying liquid lipsticks which can cause dryness on lips. It was available in Mango , Strawberry and other flavors too.

4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color :

I love glittery sparrkling nail colors , they looks really festive on nails . Sweet touch cosmetics has a very good quality sparkling nail colors . I have reviewed one in my earlier NOTD post . You can check it out here . They are easy to apply , needs three coats to achieve the opaque look. and does not chips off for three days.
What i donot like : hard to remove just like any other glittery nail colors.

6. Marlin Nail Colors :

i applied two coats here

Marlin cosmetics is a relatively new brand in Pakistan , I have tried two of their nail colors and lipsticks . I like their nail colors . They offers great shades, from pinks to corals , and from reds to blues. Each shade has a number specified to it. The consistency is quit thin , normally i apply three coats of it . The formula is not long wearing on nails so it starts chipping after on or two days.


6. Christine Glitter Eyepencil :

Christine cosmetics offers some very good quality products to its costumers. I have its glitter pencil in green emarald color . And its super creamy , easily glides on eyes and stays put on. It has glitters in it , that is why it looks really glamorous . Available in various colors . I am in love with this pencil. It really makes my brown eyes looks interesting . I also use it sometimes on my waterline just to gives a hint of green and it also stay there .

7. Davis Glitter Eyeshadow Pencils :

These Davis glitter pencils are easily available in the market, These are jumbo size pencils which have glitters in it . They are available in vareity of colors. Use it as a eyeshadow or use it just as an eyeliner , it looks good on eyes. I do not like the amount of glitter present in these pencils . The glitter is hard to remove from the eyes even after washing with soap or any makeup remover.

8. Becute Lipsticks :

Becute cosmetics is very popular brand among Pakistani girls , It offers some great lippies .Their lippies are available for Rs. 95 at Chase departmental store, Karachi. I have few of them , they are creamy in texture, longlasting and have some gorgeous shades. What i do not like about these lipsticks is their smells . It smells like some bees wax or something like plastics .

9. Femina Lip Pencil :

Femina lip pencils are easy to apply and have some gorgeous shades to choose from. THey are creamy and longlasting too.I like them alot , Unfortunately i forgot to take its solo picture , i will upload it later, you can see it in my first pic ( in the most left corner )

What are your favorite budget friendly products ? Share your favorites with me , I love reading your comments :)

Review : Christine Cake Eye Liner in Dark Brown

Hey lovely girls , i would like you to know that i am obssessed with eye makeup products, specially liners and kohl pencils. I admit that i just love to collect eye liners . Mostly i prefer cake and pencil eyeliners just because they are easy to apply and gives a very natural and soft look. For day time makeup and everyday look, i prefer Brown color eye liner , as it looks natural and gives a very soft look to your whole makeup.

I was searching for a good brown color cake liner and then i purchased Christine cake eye liner. Christine is a famous brand in Pakistan, I have seen their products using in most of the leading beauty parlors of Karachi. Their  products are quit economical and gives good results too. Here you can visit their website for more information about their products.

CHristine cake eye liner is available in upto 20 wide range of colors. I have it in shade Brown. This particular shade is a dark chocolate brown shade. i like the packaging , its comes with a rounded plastic case with a seperate cover. . It does not come with any applicator or brush . You have to buy it separately.

To use this cake eye liner , just dip your liner brush into water and then into cake liner pot, pick up some colour and use accordingly your need and choice, you can build up the color according to your need .Heres a swatch,

This cake liner has good staying power , i regularly use this liner in my everyday routine makeup , and it doesnt smudge or fades easily , until you remove it with water or with any makeup remover. This little pot will last forever as a very little quantity is required .

I am quite happy with its result, its affordable too , i bought my cake liner for 200 Pkr.

Share your experiences with this cakeliner ??? Feel free to write your views on it.
