The Classy Pouch by Sheer Class | Unboxing & First Impression |


Hello Beautiful!

I'm so excited about this post! If you saw the recent pictures and activity on my Instagram and Facebook (which you should *wink*) you must know what The Classy Pouch is and why exactly I'm excited about this post. So I received my first Classy Pouch from Sheer Class yesterday and want to share the unboxing and first impressions of it with all of you. Before that let me fill you in about what exactly The Classy Pouch is.




The Classy Pouch is a subscription service by Sheer Class. where you get a bunch of accessories which values for Rs. 2000+ but the pouch is priced at Rs. 1000 (You can get it for Rs.850 by using GULZ15). The contents of the pouch are a surprise but one can customize the pouch at time of placing the order. The Classy Pouch is a great way to get a variety of accessory in such an amazing price.

Unboxing and First Impression:



The Classy Pouch reached me the very next day after it was dispatched so I was super impressed with the delivery. It came packed in a box which assured me of the safe transit. Let's get to the unboxing part which is really exciting for me.

The Pouch is in Green color as it was launched on 23rd March i.e. Pakistan Day. Sheer Class Tag and a little hand written card by Saadiah (which I found very sweet) was attached to the pouch. 

Inside the pouch the contents were all wrapped up in Plastic which was covered in Crepe Paper and Ribbon. 



Now to the fun part -unwrapping the surprises.

1- Platinum Coated Rings Set.



The first thing I unwrapped was this beautiful set of Rings which included Midi Rings! I have been into Midi Rings lately and I'm so glad I received this. The rings are exactly how I prefer, not over the top but delicate and a little edgy. They set perfectly around my fingers, I mostly don't find rings my size in the markets as they stock them sized 16 and up and me being a 14.5 never find a good match. These rings were an exception and fit me well. I'll definitely be wearing them a lot.
These are available separately for Rs. 599.




2- Statement Square Pendant:


It's a beautiful golden long-chained Hollow Square Pendant, filled with crystals. I absolutely loveeee this pendant!!! I love love bold and boho-chic statement necklaces as much as I love delicate pieces and this pendant here is both delicate in terms of the long chain and a 3D Hollowed Square Pendant which is definitely a statement piece. I love this one so much and will be pairing it up with my plain colored tops and shirts -it'll look so cool!



3- Nail Art Self-Adhesive Decals.



I have always wanted to try these because they are so effortless, just paint your nails, stick some of these on and layer on a top coat to seal everything and viola, perfectly decorated nails! I like the theme on this set, it's cute and pretty with flowers and bows and the Eiffel Tower!! *_*  I wore two of these immediately and loved it! They are still going strong without a Top Coat and even survived a shower! Yes they stick pretty good, not even a part of it came off! Also it's so affordable that you can stock them up.
Nail Art Self-Adhesive Decals is available for Rs. 60.






4- Statement Metal Bracelet.



Now this is what you call a Bold Statement Piece. This would look perfect with an all Black attire. I was specially impressed with the good quality clasp on this one. It's unlike those cheap loose clasps, this one shuts securely. There's nothing in it which might not be comfortable. I love the look and feel of it. 
On The Edge Turquoise Metal Clasp Bracelet is available separately for Rs. 650.




All of these accessories sum up to Rs. 2358 as you can see in the invoice but The Classy Pouch is priced at Rs. 1000 ( Rs. 850 by using GULZ15 as coupon code), so you are getting a pretty good deal here.



Over all I am very happy with everything in The Classy Pouch. My favorite out of the bunch is the Necklace and the Ring Set.
Each and every piece is of high quality and this pouch is an awesome deal but if you liked any of the accessories included in the pouch then you can purchase them separately from Sheer Class and get a 15% discount on your purchase by using the code GULZ15.
Don't forget to visit Sheer Class and check out the beautiful variety of accessories.


I'll post pictures showing how I paired them up with my outfit on my social media in the coming weeks, so make sure you are following me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Also don't forget to follow Sheer Class on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated.

I'm also thinking to do a Giveaway with something from The Classy Pouch by Sheer Class as my Facebook just recently reached 1000 likes and I want to thank all of you lovely ladies for all the support and love you've given me. Let me know what you liked the best in The Classy Pouch.

Until next time, Good Luck & Ciao!

Update Your Spring/Summer'16 Wardrobe With HOBO By HUB!


Hello Beautiful!

HOBO By HUB does it again! Whether it's the dark and bold Winter or the colorful and fun Spring, HOBO brings out the best of every season in terms of fashion and their Spring/Summer Collection is no exception. The entire collection reflects the true spirit of Spring and Summer and the latest trends of this season.

Being an avid follower of New York Fashion Week I could spot a lot of trends included in the Spring/Summer Collection with HOBO's own signature style. Let's see what are the trends (as seen in NYFW) of this season and how you can update your wardrobe according to them from HOBO BY HUB Spring/Summer Collection!

1) Bright & Vibrant Bags:
The runway at NYFW witnessed models sporting Bags of bright and vibrant colors, mostly one solid color which not only gave an oomph to the whole attire but also reflected the bright Spring colors. Marni, Fendi, Proenza Schouler, Prada and Christian Dior all showcased Bags of vibrant colors in the collection.

HOBO, being always on trend has the most beautiful collection of bright and vibrant bags!





2) Slouchy Bags:
The kind of bags that adds an element of comfort and looks laid back. These were showcased by Michael Kors, Celine, Narciso Rodriguez, Stella McCartney and Acne Studios. HOBO has their own style to this trend.



3) Floral Fantasy:
How can one mention Spring and not include flowers? Dolce & Gabbana, Vetements, Alexander McQueen Chanel, Gucci and Prada had their collection loaded with petals and flowers. This piece from HOBO, paired up with any pastel outfit will scream Spring!



4) Fringe Is Here To Stay!:
Good news folks! The top fashion trend of Fall'15/Winter'16 has been carried to Spring/Summer'16! Yes, Fringe was once again displayed in clothing and accessories. Derek Lam, Edun, Boss, Anna Sui and Prabal Gurung all proved that Fringe is here to stay! HOBO, as always, kept up with the trend with their amazing bags!




5) Pointed Toe Footwear:
Not as pointed as were shown by Givenchy, Proenza Schouler, Salvatore Perragamo and Celine but HOBO made them achievable and wearable by these designs here.




6) Flat & Fabulous:
As much as Heels are adored by many, some still adore, wear and prefer Flats, me included. Trademark, Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham and Edun proved how versatile and trendy Flats can be and HOBO By HUB is no exception! Their Flats collection is drool-worthy!






7) White -Just Right:
White is classy. White is timeless. Maison Margiela, Christian Dior, Balenciaga and Victoria Beckham included White footwear in their collection proving just how versatile this color can be. Here are some of my picks from The Spring/Summer Collection by HOBO.




8) Statement Heels:
It's a wonder what a statement heel can do to the entire look, just the right way to amp up your outfit to make it look edgy and chic. Gucci, Tory Burch, Miu Miu and Dolce & Gabbana had some very edgy and classic statement heels in their collection and HOBO gave it's own wearable twist to this trend and hence becoming one of the most amazing shoe design in their collection!



9) Oxford Flats:
The New York Fashion Week had seen the most amazing and trendy Oxford Flats this Spring/Summer 2016. Louis Vuitton Simone Rocha and Junya Watanabe had their models rock the Oxford Flats. HOBO has one of the best collection of Oxford Flats, right from the Runways to your Shoe Wardrobe!



You do agree now how you can bring the NYFW fashion right in to your life with HOBO By HUB. Their collection has always amazed me offering the best in everything, whether it is the footwear, bags and other accessories. Their quality is one of the best I've come across with full value for money. So don't waste a single minute and visit your nearest outlet now or order from their online space, and shop for your favorite trends now.

Just like my Fall Series, I have started The Spring/Summer Series on my Blog with "My Favorite Blushers for Spring'16" being the first post and this one the second. What kind of posts would you like to see in this series? Don't forget to let me know in the comments.

My Favorite Blushers For Spring'16 | Colors Of Spring Tag|


Hello Beautiful!

What is the first thing that comes to your mind upon hearing the word Spring? For me it's Colors and a field full of lush green grass and beautiful flowers in all the different colors; birds chirping on the branches of thick trees surrounding the area! How calming and energizing. I love Spring as much as I love Fall, because it's neither too hot nor too cold and there's something beautiful about the bared trees as much as the branches loaded with flowers.

I'm so glad to be a part of yet another amazing platform supporting Bloggers, called Bloggers Squad PK, hash-tagged BSPK. They announce a tag  post every month and this month it is The Colors Of Spring and obviously we can have our own twist on the tag. So I decided to share My Favorite Blushers For Spring 2016.

When it comes to Blushers, I gravitate more towards Peaches and Apricots. But for Spring specially I love a good Coral. Here are the Blushers I'll be using all through Spring 2016.






As you can clearly notice, I have more Peach Blushers in this selection with a bright Coral, Pink and Orange. That's exactly what I like for Spring.



Blushers For Spring 2016:

In no particular order, let's get down to each Blusher, shall we?




a) Color Studio Professional - Audacious Orange.
          This is a straight up Orange which might look scary in the pan but gives the most healthy and natural looking splash of color to the cheeks. You have to keep a light-hand with this as it can easily make you look clownish if you apply it heavily. I blend it ever so lightly on my cheeks and it stays on for a good amount of time.

b) Milani- Baked Blush - Luminoso.
          This a cult favorite and for good reasons. It's a peach with a golden sheen that gives a beautiful peach color with a natural glow to the cheeks. It blends flawlessly on the face and you don't have to be too careful with it as it applies beautifully. I have used it here.

c) Makeup Revolution - Powder Blush - HOT!
          It is a beautiful bright Pink that gives the prettiest Blushed-Pink look to the cheeks. You have to be light-handed with this one as I'm sure you don't wanna look like a clown, but if you do, then you do you boo! The formula is amazing which blends seamlessly.

d) Jordana - Coral Radiance.
          Now this is such a beautiful bright Coral that might look "too much" in the pan but gives a beautiful wash of Coral on the cheeks. Coral Radiance is matte and can be topped with a highlighter for a more glowy look. But sometimes i like to keep my Blush Matte with my cheek-bones highlighted.

Here I have swatched them. 




Top to Bottom: Audacious Orange, Luminoso, HOT!, Coral Radiance.

Left to Right: Coral Radiance, HOT!, Luminoso, Audacious Orange.



e) The Balm Cosmetics - Hot Mama.
          This is supposedly a dupe for the notorious Orgasm by NARS. I don't own Orgasm so can't really compare but Hot Mama here is beautiful itself! It is a Peach Blusher with tiny golden flecks that translates onto the cheeks as a beautiful healthy sheen. I also like to use it as Blush Topper for my Matte Blushers.

f) The Balm Cosmetics - INSTAIN Long Wearing Powder Blush - Swiss Dot.
          Look at how tiny and cute this is! I received it from The Balm Cosmetics - Pakistan along with some other goodies at The Launch Event (read all about it here). It is an Orange Peach and is rich in pigmentation. I plan to buy the full size when I'm done with this sample.

g) Makeup Revolution - Powder Blush - Treat.
          This -again, is a peach, are you surprised? Coz I'm not! XD It has tiny gold flecks in it which gives a subtle glow with the peachy flush to the cheeks. You can layer it up and it'll blend seamlessly without looking patchy at all.

Here I have swatched them.



          

These are the Blushers that I love for Spring and will be using through out this season. I use Real Techniques Blush Brush to apply and blend the Blush and it does a great job!

What are your favorite Blushers for Spring? Don't forget to share them in the comments so that I can have a look at them.

Oh Spring also reminds me of this Blog Post where Elizabeth shared stunning wallpapers for Spring and all the beauty that comes with it. The pictures are breath-taking! Don't forget to see them here!

Until next time Good Luck and Ciao!
