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 :)

Review & Swatches : 30 Color Lip Gloss Gel Palette

Hi girls , I guess some products are just meant to make your life easier. Palettes are on of these, whether they consists eye shadows or lip colours they make our lives even more easier. You will agree with me if you travels a lot or a lazy person like me. Lets take a look at 30 Color Lip Gloss Gel Palette sent to me by Born Pretty Store.

Born Pretty Store : 30 Colour Lip Palette

Product Description :
Length: 26cm Width: 16cm (with pacakge)
30 colors lip gel Brand new in retail package with a piece of mirror
Diameter of the small one: 2.8cm
Diameter of the big one: 3.8cm
Suitable for professional use and home use


Packaging : 
First of all , the packaging is very simple and sleek. It is very light weight , which is a plus point for me . You can always carry it around without any hassle. A large mirror is attached inside , so you do not need any other mirror. 

It does not contain any product applicator , but it does not bother me , because i prefer to apply products with my own sigma or luscious brushes.

What makes me happier that the pans are filled with product , here is a closer view of smaller pans and size comparison with a 2 Rs. coin :

My Thoughts :
As it is an inexpensive palette, i was not expecting much from it. But girls !! i was wrong. This lip palette is more than what it claims. If you are a MUA or a traveller , or a beauty junkie who wants to have every colour in their collection , this lip palette is a decent choice. Even i am not a lippie person , but this lip palette made me to do my lips more often. From transparent hues to beiges , from bubblegum pinks to pretty lilacs and from plums to berry reds , and from peaches to copper, this lip palette has all in it. It also contains black , white , blue shades which you would like to try on halloween or cosplays. You can also mix two or several shades to get your desired lipstick colour. Most of the colours are pigmented , creamy in texture and vibrant. They applies smoothly and does not bleeds. Surprisingly, they also stays put on my lips for a good 3 to 4 hours. The quality of these lipsticks are mediocre. But at least you get what you pay for. I wish if they could add a few more bright oranges or purples in this palette. Here are the swatches on my hand :
Swatches - First Row :

Swatches - Second Row :

Swatches - Third Row :

Swatches - Large Pans :

You may like this product if ...

• You are a MUA and need to have every possible colour in your stash
• You are a beginner and need to practice with affordable products
• You need an inexpensive lip palette
• Most of the colours are pigmented and rich.
• Colours are long lasting.

You might not like this product if ...

• You think some of the colours has a weird synthetic smell.
• You just want to stick to your branded lip palettes.

Overall, I would rate this product 3.8 out of 5

NOTD & Review : Golden Rose Nail Lacquer 110

Hi girls , Lets see my nails are painted with which nail lacquer today , Its a nail lacquer by Golden Rose Cosmetics in shade 110. I wish if they could name their polishes..

I wanted a perfect taupe brown nail colour to compliment my skin tone for ages and i am glad that i picked the right one . I love its packaging. Unlike other polishes , it comes in a triangular shape bottle which makes it stands out in your stash.

 It has a cream texture , which goes opaque in just two coats. I have not applied any top coat over it. Because i feel that it does not need any. I have worn it for 5 consecutive days and it slightly wears at the tips only. Amazing isn't it ?
Here are the swatches :

picture taken in room light

The colour itself is really beautiful, sophisticated and wearable . I guess i will be wearing it mostly in day time or during work hours. I will define this colour as a taupe brown shade which has more grey undertones.

Price & Availability:
I bought this nail lacquer from CHASE UP store , Karachi for Rs.150. (Approx. 2$)

Thats it for today , have you tried any Nail lacquer by Golden Rose Cosmetics ? Which one is your favourite colour ? feel free to comment below and share your thoughts .

Review & Swatches: Lioele 3d Enamel Lip gloss in Tangerine Peach

Hi girls, the star of today's post is Liole enamel lip gloss in tangerine peach. What do you expect from a lip gloss ? I want my lip gloss to stay put for 3 to 4 hours at least on my lips , does it fulfils my expectations or not ? Read more to find out..

Packaging :

Yes , i am also a sucker for good packagings . And Liole 3d enamel lip gloss won my heart in the first sight. It has sleek and cute packaging. The tube itself is made of glass and has a black cap with 3d design on it. The shade name and other information is provided on the bottom side.

Applicator:

Unlike other lip glosses , its applicator is very sleek and really helps in precise application. It is really helpful in defining and filling your lips . I am really impressed by its applicator.

My thoughts :

So far i am really impressed by its appearance and applicator. It has a mild scent too but does not contain any kind of flavour. I love the fact that it makes my lips fuller and gives a 3d effect. The formula is non sticky. But i wish it could stay put on my lips a bit longer. I have to re apply it every hour , otherwise it vanishes so fast without eating or drinking. But if re applying does not bothers you , then you can go for it. The shade tangerine peach looks darker, almost orange in the tube but when applied , it transforms into a beautiful peach shade which compliments my skin tone really well.

Here is a swatch of this on my lips :

Over all , it is a good lip gloss for everyday use . Here are the pros and cons :

You may like this because..

• its non sticky
• shade compliments most of the skin tones
• it is moisturizing
• gives full lips 
• sleek packaging

You may not like this because..

• Price tag bothers you
• You want it to stay put longer on your lips
• you may find cheaper alternatives

Price & Availability :

You can buy this lip gloss for 15$ Here , it is available in 4 other shades too at liliesshop.net

What is your favourite lip gloss ? Have you tried any 3d lip gloss yet ? I am feeling too sleepy right now , its around 1:00 am here . Take care girls ..

Review : Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Body Lotion

Hi girls , it rained yesterday and it became too cold over here , i hope that you all enjoyed the winter season , My skin becomes very dry in this winter season and Vaseline is my trusted brand when it comes to body lotions . let me share my winter care magic with you all

What it claims :
"Its triples moisture reserves instantly, then fills tiny gaps in skin to lock moisture in all day, promoting the proper environment dry skin needs to repair itself."

My thoughts :

The packaging is very simple , like other Vaseline body lotions .I have tried and tested many body lotions but nothing worked for my so oily skin which becomes too dry in winter. This is one body lotion which i apply all over after taking bath in winters or whenever i wash my hands. It gives me maximum moisturizing care in winter. I do not need to re apply it again and again. It is fragrance free , which is a plus point for those , who are allergic to certain kind of fragrances. The consistency is not too thick nor too runny . It gets absorbed by the skin quickly and leaves it smooth and soft for hours. 

Here is the list of ingredients ,in case you are concerned :

Over all , Vaseline never disappointed me , it is my trusted brand since childhood. I love their products and I would love to re purchase it in winters next year. 

Price & Availability :

I bought this one for Rs. 250 from Time Medicos , Karachi

Have you ever tried this Body lotion  ? What is your winter care body lotion ? share your thoughts and feel free to leave a comment below !!

Review: Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool

Hi girls , sorry for being disappeared from my blog , i have been very busy with my studies for last one month . Inshallah , i will be relaxed within two weeks and then will be back to normal posts :) .
Today i am going to share my thought and views about Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool , which i got as i am affiliated with Sigma beauty network. I was really keen to try this , as i never used any thing like this before on myself, but there is always a first time , right girls ? Lets see what i have to tell you about this product.

Packaging :
First of all , i am really impressed by its packaging , it comes in a cute rectangular box with pink and white stripes . it looks really feminine 

On the other side , they have mentioned all the necessary information about this product :

Product details :

.
Product Description :
Say goodbye to dull and uneven skin! With the new Sigma Beauty Cleansing and Polishing Tool you can polish your skin to be perfectly smooth and flawless before and after your makeup application.

My Thoughts :

It comes in a handy plastic box in pink and white , which looks absolutely girly . The casing is easy to carry around and store , as it is compact and light weight.

I just said WOW , when i touched the bristles of these brushes, the pink one is really soft . I love the idea how they added white rings to distinguish them from other brushes heads. The brush with one white ring is for body , and the brush with two rings is for feet and body parts like elbows, knees etc.

I have been using this soft brush head on my face for more than one week, and i am really delighted to see that it makes my skin softer , polished and smoother. I make the brush head wet before applying cleanser to it. It helps my cleanser to lather easily. I can really feel the difference. It also removed my black heads from my nose. I think it is a great product for lazy people like me , who cannot spend too much time daily for skin care. It hardly takes one minute to complete the whole process , and you are left with baby soft skin. Isnt it great ??

The other two brushes are pretty good to use on the body parts . It exfoliates dead skin and leaves a softer skin behind. Just apply a generous amount of moisturizer afterwards !!

Over all , it is a great product , at first i was a bit nervous to try this on my face , but the pink SOFT head is not at all harsh. You just have to watch out for the time , and do not exceed it by one minute. Moderation is the key !!

Also do not forget to remove the brush head after each usage and wash it directly under tap water .

Over all , it is a great product , if you want an efficient tool to make your cleansing and polishing process easy.

Price & Availability :

You can buy Sigma cleansing & polishing tool from HERE for 35$.
