Bourjeon Potter's Patronus Pendant | Detailed Review |

Hello Beautiful!

So I love necklaces and ear-rings/studs the most when it comes to jewelry. I prefer watches over bracelets and other wrist accessories. Also I am very particular about accessorizing, it's either ear-studs or necklace that I'll wear at a time, if I'm wearing necklace then no ear-studs/rings and if an ear accessory then no necklace! I know I know, but I'm weird like that! Any of you who does the same? I can't be the only one XD

A while back I came across this accessory brand called BOURJEON on Instagram and boy oh boy! Their collection is amazing and this one particular piece just caught my eye and I knew I had to get it. The Potterhead in me couldn't pass up on it! It was this beautiful Potter's Patronus Pendant and so I placed an order right away. Here's my experience with Bourjeon and the necklace.

Order Placing and Packaging: The order placing process was quite smooth and the product was delivered to me the very next day which was pretty impressive. It was delivered in a box which ensured safe transit. The necklace itself was enclosed in a plastic wrap which was secured in this black velvet pouch. I love the over all packaging and that Bourjeon ensures a safe transition.





Potter's Patronus Pendant: The necklace itself is love at first sight! It's beautiful. I love the color of the rhinestone - Mint Green is one of my favorite color to wear. The quality is superb. The rhinestones, Mint Green and the tiny ones on the ears sets firmly. Oh and another thing that impressed me is that they included two spare rhinestones secured in a clear plastic wrap. These are the gestures that show a company's dedication towards providing their customers with the best.




The extra rhinestones.

This will look amazing paired up with almost every outfit, specially solid colors and even button-up shirts, with the chain hidden beneath the collar - that will look so cool if the shirt is in a neutral color!

Overall, my experience with BOURJEON has been great and I can't wait to place my next order!

Good news: You can now avail a discount of 10% on orders Rs.1500 or above with the code gulezehra10



Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

A Jewelry Haul & Review | Sheer Class|

Hello Beautiful!

I remember the time I wasn't into accessories at all except for those little butterfly catchers/clips, I'm sure all the 90s peeps here remember, I finally started out with a watch and ear-studs and now that I am into accessories I'm really in!! From bold statement pieces to delicate and dainty jewelry, but I am picky about what I wear. You wont find me all oohs and aahs over everything, I only talk about with passion what I really really like and believe in. Like I have nothing to say about Fawwad Khan or Hamza Ali Abbasi, I don't find myself going gaga over them -now please don't kill me over that, I have nothing against them haha! :D

Coming back to the topic, I am here to review an accessory brand called Sheer Class which has made it's good name within a very short amount of time and after trying their accessories from their Classy Pouch- April (read review here) I had to place an order from their drool-worthy collection! Let's see what I have to say about each of the pieces I got in my haul. This is a haul and review, combined in one post.

What I Hauled and My Thoughts:




1) 18K Gold Plated Faux Pearl & Cubic Zirconia Exquisite Pendant Set.

This set is a class on it own! I love how beautiful and unique the pendant and ear-studs are, how the pearl is set in midst of the gorgeous band! I absolutely love love pearls and this one is so unique. One can either wear the whole set to a party or a wedding or like me can wear either of the pendant or studs to accessorize without going overboard, I specially like to wear the pendant for lunch-outs and ear-studs for dinner. I'm also very very impressed with the high quality of this.

Price: Rs. 1499.



2) 18 K gold Plated Tear Drop Cubic Zirconia Jumbo Solitaire Pendant Set.

I am in love with this set!!!! Oh my! High quality and so so beautiful! I actually wore the studs for two days straight! Yes I love these so much, I also wore the pendant for the whole day and it looks so pretty without looking 'too much'. It's pretty, delicate and perfect for daily wear. I wore this on a lunch and got a lot of compliments.
Despite of the long wear, I didn't experience any oxidizing although jewelry oxidizes on me very fast. I also have a little trick up my sleeve to avoid that which I'll let you all know at the end of this post. If there is one thing you want to get from Sheer Class, it's this, it's a MUST HAVE for good reasons!

Price: Rs. 999.





3) 18 K gold Plated Ring with center Faux Pearl studded with Cubic Zirconia Double Band.

I ordered this for my Mom as she loves wearing rings and she loved this one so much that she kept it in her rings-for-big-events stash! She has all her favorite and classy rings in that set. That says a lot about how much she liked it. 
It has a beautiful big pearl in center of two Zirconia studded bands and a beautifully carved ring band. I'm going to post a picture on my social media as soon as my mom wears it for an upcoming event. 
I'm very happy with the high quality of this beautiful ring.

Price: Rs. 599





4) 18K Gold Plated Bracelet with Cubic Zirconia.

I hardly wear anything around my wrists other than my wrist watch but this bracelet changed that, Not that it has replaced my watch but I now like to wear it along with the watch and as it's so delicate it pairs up beautifully with other wrist accessories. I love how delicate and high quality this is.

Price: Rs. 499




Over all I'm very very happy with my purchase. right from the quality to the pricing. Sheer Class is so on point with their jewelry collections and variety of both statement and delicate pieces. If you love to wear jewelry then you must give them a go, I'm sure you'd love it. Also I'm very happy with the customer service provided as Saadiah - the Owner, takes care of your order herself and make sure you have a smooth experience.  




You can view Sheer Class collection and order from their Facebook Page and use the code GULZ15 for 15% discount on the whole collection.

Safety Tip: Paint/coat your jewelry with a clear Nail Top Coat, let it dry completely before using. It provides a barrier between your skin and the alloy/paint to avoid any blackening or oxidizing. As the Top Coat is clear it doesn't alter the color and shine of the jewelry.

In case you're wondering, I haven't coated any of these so that you can see pictures of them after I have used them.

Have you bought anything from Sheer Class? How was your experience? Don't forget to share your favorites from Sheer Class with me.

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

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!

Luscious Cosmetics - Super Moisturizing Lipstick - Daisy Pink.


Hello Beautiful!

I'm here with another lipstick review. I reviewed Masarrat Misbah Makeup Lip Varnish in Lust previously. This time it's Luscious Cosmetics Super Moisturizing Lipstick in Daisy Pink. You must have seen this lipstick popping up on my Instagram from time to time and I also used it in a couple of Makeup Looks which I will link at the end of this post. 

What Luscious Cosmetics says?



Luscious Cosmetics offers 23 beautiful shades that range from nudes to vibrant colors in the Super Moisturizing line.



My Thoughts:

Packaging: It comes in a black card-board packaging. I love the sleek silver expensive-looking cylindrical lipstick bullet. The lipstick doesn't feel cheap or plastic-y at all and the cap clasps shut with a click. The shade name is mentioned on a sticker at the bottom. It's travel friendly for sure.




Color: It is described as a "delicate nude pink". On my lips, it's a beautiful mauve-y pink. The shade is perfect for everyday wear. It looks so sophisticated for office and work use and gives just the perfect pink color to the lips. The color pairs up perfectly with subtle and dramatic eye makeup.

Scent: There is no distinct or strong smell. It just slightly slightlyyyy smells plastic-y but that is very very subtle and dissipates after application. 

Formula & Application: It's exactly what it's called, a super moisturizing lipstick with amazing pigmentation that goes on opaque in one swipe! I pretty much summed up the formula and application, didn't I? 
It is a creamy and moisturizing formula that has a satin finish and feels so comfortable on the lips, doesn't emphasize the dry patches and settle much into the fine lines. One swipe is all you need for opaqueness although I like to go over my lips twice and it glides on smoothly. It doesn't get patchy at all no matter how many layers I put. The pigmentation is incredible!

Lasting Power: This lipstick has lasted for 3 hours on me after which it faded somewhat evenly with it getting lightest on the inner rim. It disappears from my lips if I eat but that's what mostly happens with most my lipsticks. Creamy and moisturizing formulas usually don't last that long and I don't mind re-applying it as I just love how much the color compliments me!



Here you can see it applied to my lips and more swatches! Do you guys prefer Lip Swatches or Hand Swatches? Let me know in the comments.


                         Natural Lips                                                               Applied








Weight: 0.12 oz / 3.5 g

Price: Rs. 645 (PKR)

Availability: Website, Scentsation, Naheed Supermarket (Khi).

I would rate this 5 on 5 because this has become my absolute favorite really fast and I have been wearing it almost every day the past two months! I have found my favorite pink with this lipstick!







Here are the makeup looks I did in which I've used Daisy Pink:
Valentines Makeup Look. (Option 2)
Silver Glittery Winter Glam.
New Year's Glam.

I got it from Luscious Cosmetic's website www.iloveluscious.com for Rs. 645. I'm definitely definitely going to get more shades from the Super Moisturizing line because I'm really impressed with the formula and pigmentation! Would I re-purchase if I run out of it? Ohhhh yes! What are your favorite pink lipsticks?

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Lip Varnish - Lust


Hello Beautiful!

I finally got around to review Masarrat Makeup Lip Varnish in Lust. I have had a lot of time to wear and test it since I last bought it, you can see the haul here. Lip Varnish offers 10 beautiful shades.


What Masarrat Misbah Makeup says?

Available in Matte and Shimmer shades, this smoothing Lip color provides opulence with light-weight luxurious color. Infused with Shea Butter and Vitamin E.

My Thoughts:

Packaging: Lip Varnishes are in a Matte Black cuboid packaging with MM Makeup logo and the shade name is mentioned on the bottom on a sticker. The tube inside is Gold in color. The packaging is somewhat sturdy, don't think it'll be safe for traveling though because the cap on the lipstick doesn't close with a click (how satisfying is that click!).



Color: Lust is a beautiful mauve-purple. It goes on opaque

Formula & Application: It has a creamy-semi-matte finish. The pigmentation is amazing! You don't need to apply it twice for the intense color. I suggest applying with a brush for a more sheer wash of color. Also the lipstick is very soft and creamy, thus it glides on smoothly. 

Lasting Power: The Lipstick lasted for 4 hours on me without a need to touch up. I had a snack in between. 

Scent: It has a sweet smell that I feel most inexpensive lipsticks have, plastic-y and cosmetic-y but it's not over-powering although it lingers for some time after the application.

Here you can see it swatched on my wrist and applied to my lips.




I would rate this 4 on 5. Love how creamy and pigmented it is. Don't really find the packaging sturdy enough or the scent good enough.






Have you tried any lipsticks from Masarrat Misbah Makeup? How was your experience? Let me know.

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!
