Drugstore and Skindinavia Haul!

Hello Beautiful!

I hope you haven't gotten sick of my million haul posts lately! I'm sure though you like reading Haul posts as much as I love Hauling them ;) If you remember my Wish-List for November you'll remember most of the products in this Haul. They were listed in my November Wish-List and I was able to get all of them!! Yes! I got to cross off every item in my Wishlist and let me confess, it was the most amazing feeling!! Check out the Wish-List (here) before you continue reading this so that we can get excited together! Also so that you can understand why I wanted each of these. 

I got the chance to shop directly from www.drugstore.com and www.skindinavia.com and here is...

What I Hauled:

a) Real Techniques - Miracle Complaxion Sponge- 2 Pack.

b) Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray - Oil Control.

c) Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray - Bridal.

d) Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray - Travel Size.

e) Skindinavia The Makeup Primer Spray - Travel Size.

f) Jesse's Girl Cosmetics - Liquid Eyeliner-Black.

g) Maybelline -Lash Sensational Mascara.

h) L'oreal Paris - Voluminous Miss Manga Rock - Mascara.

i) CoverGirl - The Super Sizer by LashBlast Mascara.

j) Milani - Baked Blush - Berry Amore.

As you might notice, I'm in a Mascara Phase nowadays! I love my Real Technique's Sponge, so I got back ups and now that I have used one for an year I am ready to do an in depth review. I have been on a hunt for a good Finishing Sprays and after skimming through endless options I finally decided on Skindinavia. I got the Bridal one for my friend.

I LOVE the formula of Milani Baked Blusher so after getting Luminoso, I picked up Berry Amore for Winters.

As mentioned before, got all these from www.drugstore.com and www.skindinavia.com mostly on discounted prices as there were sales going on. www.drugstore.com usually has sales so check that.

I was sooo excited for these to arrive! Needed a Finishing Spray for all the weddings this season! I am so glad I ordered all these and crossed them off my Wish-List finally! Let me know if you want me to review anything first from this Haul, I'd love to oblige!

WishList - November

Hello Beautiful!

I haven't gone this long (8 days since my last post) without posting, have I? I have been busy attending the Master-Class (Makeup Boot Camp) by Kiran Khan, which was amazing and I'll dedicate an entire post to my experience! After that, my Flu surprised me again and since then I've been feeling so crappy from a sore throat, flu and fever! Ugh!! ):
Well, I had my Wish-List for November ready in the first week of this month but I only got around to post this today! If you read my first ever Wish-List post (read it here) you know I share only some products out of my extensive wishlist, products I really really want and hope to buy that month and cross off my list. 

Sooo here's my Wish-List for November!

1. CoverGirl - The Super Sizer by LashBlast Mascara,

          I have to have it after I saw the review by Emily Noel (YouTuber). The wand looks good enough to get all the lashes specially the lower ones. I find those big wands difficult to coat my lower lashes without getting the product on my skin!

2. L'OREAL Paris - Voluminous Miss Manga Rock Mascara.

          I'm sure I have seen this before but it caught my attention when I saw Kaushal (YouTuber) using this in conjunction with Maybelline Lash Sensational and it made such a huge difference, really made her lashes 'voluminous'! As I do not wear fake lashes, I'm always on a hunt for good mascaras.

3. Maybelline - Lash Sensational Mascara.

          As mentioned earlier, this caught my attention after Kaushal used this and raved about it. Also it really lengthened her lashes and since then I've been wanting to get my hands on it so this month I have included it here so I finally get it and try it myself.

4. Wet n Wild Fergie Shimmer Palette - Hollywood Boulevard:

          Oh I have been hooked to highlighters!! After Kathleen shared it and then the beautiful Maliha Asif, a fellow member of Pakistan Beauty Society swatched and reviewed it on her Snapchat, you must follow her on her Snapchat which is thatglowlife, she does awesome reviews, I just have to include it in my Wish-List!! This highlighter is beautiful!!! *-*

5. SKINDINAVIA - The Makeup Finishing Spray:

          I have never tried a finishing/setting spray. The only time I got it sprayed on my face was for the makeup done for my Engagement and it really made my makeup last the entire event, well until I washed it off. I was really impressed and since then I have been wanting to purchase a really good setting spray and when I found out that the Urban Decay ones are made with Skindinavia I want to try the real deal!

6. Jesse's Girl Cosmetics - Liquid Eyeliner:

          I love cake and gel eye liners and I have more grip and control over a brush. I have always practiced wing liners with a brush but just a few weeks back I tried this eyeliner in pen form (review coming soon) and I decided to invest in another from some other brand because I felt that pens are really quick and travel friendly. I don't have to go through the hassle of getting the brush wet (although I don't mind that but while I'm traveling it's a big NO). I have seen this being used by Kathleen a lot of times and she recommended it hence it made its way to my wishlist!

So there finally is my WishList for November. I don't know why but I'm going through a mascara phase which you clearly can see from this post. I recently went through a highlighter phase -_- Can somebody relate to this? I hope I'm not the only one!!

Don't forget to share your wishlist with me!! i can't wait to get better and get into my routine. Stay safe and healthy you guys! I feel we need to take extra care this season. I wish you all good health <3

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Hello beautiful!

As Fall has officially started for me I decided to say farewell to summers with a Makeup Look! I wanted to do a bright makeup look with a colored eye-liner and a bright pink pout and this is what I came up with. It's really easy with the warm eye makeup and colored liner and a bright pink pout. I am in loveee with the results and I hope you'd love it too! Oh! If you decide to recreate this look, don't forget to share it with me by using the hash-tag #gulezehrasblog. I would LOVE to see your take on it (:

Lips:

• NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Zurich. (Reviewed here.)

Steps:

Eyes:

1. After priming my eyes and setting them with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder just so the other shades can blend easily, I started with Morphe Caramelized in my crease and blended it well.
2. With an e.l.f shader brush I packed Toasted on my entire eye lid. With a little Caramelized on the blending brush I blended my crease so that both the lid color and crease color can blend in.
3. On an angled blending brush I packed Creme Brule on the outer corners of my eyes and blended it into the lid color. I also took it a little into the crease.
4. With a clean blending brush I blended my crease well again so that there are no harsh lines and it all looks well blended.
5. With the Sweet Touch eye-liner pencil I lined my upper lashes and created a soft wing.
6. On an angled liner brush I packed the B.A.M eye shadow onto the liner I applied with the pencil to make the green color more vibrant.
7. I finished the eye makeup with two coats of mascara and NYX Milk in my waterline.

Face:

1. After moisturizing my face with L'oreal Hydrating Gel, I applied the foundation with the Miracle Complexion Sponge. I love love this sponge! It blends the foundation like a dream!
2. For my under eye concealer I used Maybelline Fit Me concealer, drawing it in a V shape under my eyes to highlight and conceal. With the sponge I blended it well.
3. I set the concealer with Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder on e.l.f tapered brush.
4. Using the Contour shade from the Sleek Contour Palette, I contoured my face ever so lightly with Real Techniques Contour Brush.
5. For blush I used my Holy Grail Shell Bronze with Real Techniques blush brush and highlighted the high-points such as the tops of my cheeks, the bridge of my nose, cupid's bow and chin with e.l.f blush gems with e.l.f studio blush brush.
6. I set my entire face and blended everything with Rimmel Pressed Powder on Real Techniques Powder Brush.
7. At the end I applied Rimmel Lipstick and topped it with NYX Zurich.

I loved the final look and how it turned out. The green paired up beautifully with the bright pink lips. I would love to hear your feedback and don't forget to use the hash-tag #gulezehrasblog if you do re-create this look! I would love to see <3

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

WishList - October

Hello Beautiful!

As decided, I'm here with my Wish-List for the month of October. As I explained in my 'September WishList' I'll be sharing maximum 5 things that I really really want and intend to cross off my actual HUGE Wish List (we all know our Wishlists keep growing). I was able to cross three products off the September WishList (YAY! Haul coming soon!), so I hope I get to cross off some in this one too!

Here's what I really want to get this month!

1. MAC 210 Precise Eye Liner Brush:

A friend recommended this brush for an easy and perfect application of winged eye liner (I love winged eye liners as you can see here). I started reading reviews and the more I read the more I want it. It looks like the perfect tool for creating the perfect winged eye liner!

2. Makeup Geek Foiled Eye Shadows:
I know I know it's old news but I still haven't tried them and I really really want to! The swatches online are killing me! Okay maybe not really killing but I need to get these beautiful, foiled, metallic,shiny, incredibly pigmented babies!!! <3_<3

3. L'oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara:
This mascara gives some really good lashes! I have never worn fake lashes myself (except for one time when a Makeup Artist applied them to my eyes for a big event) so I am always on a hunt for a mascara that'll give me length and volume and this one is really good on the length part specially.

4. Too Faced Love Flush Blush - Your Love Is King:
Look at the blush, just look at it! Its beautiful right?! It is! I am in love with the pretty embossed picture and the packaging! This shade in particular is beautiful too and I'm sure would look great on my NC 25 skin tone. All the right reasons to get my hands on this beauty!

5. e.l.f Studio Baked Blush - Pinktastic:
This is of course not a blush but a gorgeous highlighter! I was introduced to this by Kathleen Lights (YouTuber) and of course I want it just for that reason alone haha. I like my highlighters to give more of a sheen than being glittery and this one does just that. Being a baked product it's very buttery and gives a strong sheen. I can't wait to add this to my Highlighter Collection!

I really hope I get to get at least some of these this month! What do you intend to purchase this month makeup and fashion wise? Don't forget to share your Wish-Lists with me, you know I love to hear from you muffins! xo

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

September Favorites!

Hello there!

It has to be the most used cliche ever but, Time flies so fast! As we start with the month of Halloween and my official start to Fall, it's time to share what I have been loving in the month of September!

1. Freeman Facial Polishing Mask- Charcoal & Black Sugar:
          It is by far the most amazing exfoliating mask I've used! I apply it to my entire face and neck and leave it on for 2 minutes, for the charcoal in it to work and then gently scrub before rinsing it off. I scrub in circular motion until the sugar in it dissolves. It takes off all the impurities from my skin and leave it thoroughly cleaned, exfoliated, smooth and supple! It even get rids of the blackheads on my nose. I LOVE IT!!

2. Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer - In The Nude:
          For a more natural look, I love using this in my waterline. I have always used NYX Milk for that wide awake look but after trying this, it's all I have been using the past month for my minimal eye-makeups.

3. e.l.f Studio Cream Eyeliner - Black:
          This glides on so smoothly and is so pigmented aaand is so effortless. I have been using it for almost all my eye-makeups. It sets down nicely and is quite black.You can see it in action here.

4. e.l.f Studio Eyeshadow Primer - Sheer:
           This the only primer I have been using and loving for the past couple of month! This is what I react out for most of my eye makeup looks, subtle or dramatic. It makes the eyeshadows last longer without creasing and also makes the color vibrant and stand out more, I do set it with a powder though for the shadows to blend easily. You can see how it makes the eye shadow look here.

5. Victoria Garden Secret Charm Body Wash - HoneySuckle and Jasmine:
          Oh how I have been adoring the fresh scent and how it moisturizes my body! It smells like fresh honeysuckle with a touch of jasmine. Although the scent is not long lasting at all or strong either but it makes me feel so fresh, light and moisturized. I guess the honeysuckle has a calming effect on me. I love the fragrance and I highly recommend if you like soft and fresh fragrances.

I can't wait to to try more in my collection and update you guys. Also, what were your favorites for the month of September? Anything you wanna recommend that I might like? I'd love to know! I love to hear from you all <3

I have a lot of posts under my belt for this month so keep an eye out for those ;) I'm sure you're gonna love them! Oh and if you want me to do any post for my Fall series, anything you'd like to know, I'd love to do it for you!

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!
