A Collective Haul !

Hello Beautiful!

I get so excited every time I receive something in my mail. You too? *High-Five*, Over the past two months I got to cross off things on my Wish-List (you can see them here), re-purchased the staples and received some as gifts and so I decided to combine them all in to a collective haul. 

1) Wallet from HOBO By HUB. This was sent to me by HOBO By HUB, such a kind gesture! I love love it.The quality is as expected from HOBO By HUB -amazing!

2) Freeman Facial Polishing Mask - Charcoal and Black Sugar. This is a repurchase. By far the best scrub i have used. Ordered from Glamshop.pk

3) Zoeva - Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette. I finallyyyy ticked this off my Wish-List Yay! This was in my Wish-List for December'15 and January'16! I ordered it from my favorite - Zensky!!

4) L'OREAL Hydra Total 5 Moisturizer. This is a repurchase, it's the only moisturizer I use and love! I purchase it from Naheed Super Market.

5) Nivea Men Post Shave Balm - Sensitive. I'm sure if you are a makeup lover and YouTube addict then you already know what this product is used for (apart from a post shave balm). You're right! A primer! This "trend/practice" was started by Nikkietutorials (Youtuber). I ordered it from Zensky.

6) Color Studio Professional - Kohl Addict - Black Kajal. I purchased it from the Color Studio Kiosk in Naheed Super Market. I have read good reviews for it so decided to give it a try.

7) Color Studio Professional - Pure Matte Lipstick - Predator. I've been looking for another Red Lipstick - we can't have enough Red Lipsticks right? A red that was more like the classic Ruby Woo and so purchased this from Naheed Super Market on Rabiyah's recommendation.

8) Color Studio Professional - Color Play Lipstick - Firecrackers. Color Studio recently launched a new line of Lipsticks called Color Play and I had to try it. Purchased this from Naheed Super Market. It was in my January Wish-List.

9) NYX - Matte Lipstick - Alabama. This was sent to me by Pakistan Beauty Society. I actually won their Halloween Competition (with this look) and this was sent to me as a prize.

10) ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick - Trap.  I finally jumped on the Liquid Lipstick specially ColourPop Ultra Matte bandwagon. This color in particular is such a unique and in-trend shade so I ordered it from Zensky. Finally ticked it off my February Wish-List.

11) ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick - Lumiere 2. This is exactly what made me hop on the ultra-matte-bandwagon! Ya'll know how much I love Kathleen Light (YouTuber) so I knew I had to get it as soon as she came out with this. I have reviewed her first ColourPop Lippie Stix in Lumiere. Lumiere 2 is said to be it's Liquid Lipstick version.I ordered it from Zensky. It was in my February Wish-List.

12) Essence - Longlasting Lip Liner - Sweetheart 02. I recently started investing in lip liners and learned that they help a lot for a neat and precise application. Also they provide a good base for Liquid Lipsticks. I didn't have any pink lip liner so chose this and I ordered these from Beauty Bar. It was included in my January Wish-List.

13) Essence - Longlasting Lip Liner - Lovely Frappuccino 05. One can never have enough nude lip pencils, right? This is the my nude lip pencil and I have yet to try it. I ordered this from Beauty Bar. This was in my January Wish-List.

14) Milani - Baked Blush - Berry Amore. Ever since I got and fell in love with Luminoso I had to get another shade from this amazing range and this is the second shade I picked up. I ordered this from Zensky. 

15) Jordana - Blush Powder - Coral Radiance. This is my first blush-purchase from Jordana and I came across them through Kathleen Lights and immediately placed an order when she shared a different shade in her Makeup Stash - Drugstore video (watch here). This color, as bright as it is, caught my eyes first. I ordered this from Beauty Bar. This was in my January Wish-List.

16) Jordana - Blush Powder - Touch Of Pink. With Coral Radiance I went ahead and ordered this shade too because I love these kind of shades for blushers. I ordered this from Beauty Bar. It was also in my January Wish-List.

17) Essence - Silky Touch Blush - Baby Doll. This purchase again is inspired by Kathleen XD I need to do a YouTube Made Me Buy This post, don't I? It was shared by her in her Makeup Stash - Drugstore Blush video which I have linked above. I ordered it from Beauty Bar.

18) INGLOT Cosmetics - Freedom System Eyeshadow - 504. I received this in a Goody Bag, along with the one-eyeshadow palette, by Walnut Communication on the Launch of INGLOT Cosmetics in Dolmen City Mall. The color is a pretty Turquoise shade.

I had fun writing this collective haul, i hope you feel the same reading it, if you did, let me know also if you want review on any of these first and I'll be glad to oblige.

So that concludes my Collective Haul Post. I did a makeup look recently that was so appreciated by everyone (Thank you x), you can check it here.

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

October Favorites!

Hello beautiful!

Just two months to 2015 -let that sink in! Just two months! Where did the time go?
As we start with the dry and cool November, it's time to share my favorites from October. I did not get to play with makeup so much except for when I did the Halloween Looks! I was the Half Skull, The Thirsty Vampire and Stitched Up Insanity. After all the crazy Halloween Makeup I had to give my skin the much needed care and rest.
To try to keep it minimal, here's what I used the most and loved!

1. ColourPop Super Shock Shadow - Fairfax

          Colour Pop eyeshadows have a texture of their own, wet and mousse-y to touch but has a powdery finish. Fairfax is a dark dark dark brown. It's described as a black brown on the website. I have been using it as a smudged eyeliner at the top lash line and it looks so cool! That is mostly what I did every time I wore makeup in October.

2. Nivea Body Lotion - Sensual Musk
          The only time I use lotions for my body is in Autumn and Winter. I bought this back in July solely for its fragrance. I love love how it smells, I'm into musky fragrances. This not only smells good but kept my skin hydrated without feeling greasy -and that's all I want from a moisturizer, hydrating without being greasy. I have used it all through October and keeping it near throughout Autumn and Winter.

3. Amarante - One Last Time
          I first came across this in a Kathleen Light's video and the music just stuck to my mind. There was something so soothing about it. When I finally found it on soundcloud, that's all I listened to. Amarante has such a beautiful variety of songs and there is some depth to each one of em -their lyrics and the music. This one in particular is my favorite!! I can't stop listening to it!! You must listen to it here and tell me if you liked it.

4. L'oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Cream
          I use this religiously every night in Fall and Winter. In Summer, I use it on alternate days. I also like to use this under my foundation. This hydrates my skin so well without leaving it greasy. This gets rid of all the dry patches and leave my skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated. I'll do a full review on this for sure!

5. Kryolan Cake Eyeliner - Black
          I used this a lot for my Halloween looks (see them here) and did all my winged eyeliners with it. I found it so easy to use. just a little water to make it creamy and it glides on so smoothly. I was able to create some really precise winged lines with this amazing product!

6. Real Techniques - Miracle Complexion Sponge
          This has to be my favorite for every month because this is what I use mostly for my foundation and blending the concealers! It blends so flawlessly giving that airbrushed look to the skin! It definitely is a steal for its price and the closest possible dupe for Beauty Blender. In fact according to Kathleen Lights and Jaclyn Hill, it performs exactly like the Beauty Blender! It's a staple in my makeup kit!

I wanted to do dome Fall looks but after the Halloween makeup my skin just couldn't take more makeup so I'll definitely do a Fall makeup look this month. Let me know if you want to see any specific makeup look, I am not a makeup artist but will try my best (:

Let me know what were your favorites for the month of October? You know I love hearing from you guys <3

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!
