MUA Make Up Academy EyeShadow Palette- Dusk Till Dawn Review

A few weeks ago, my brother's wedding was coming up and I was confused about which makeup look should I go for. Desi weddings call for flashy super shimmery makeup and I didn't have any good quality shimmery eyeshadow in my stash.That got me involved in the hunt of cheap but good eyeshadow palette that can get me through the wedding season. After a lot of search, I found this palette named "Dusk Till Dawn by MUA (Makeup Academy Professional). I must say, I wasn't much from it as it is pretty cheap. It cost me about $7 in Pakistan.  Color pigmentation:  I'm not an expert of shimmery makeup, but I really like the amount of shimmer this product contains. The pigmentation is good.The best thing about this product is that its shimmer doesn't fall all over my face(It's my biggest pet peeve).I've swatched the shades on my arms, so you can see clearly, how they look on the skin. How long do they last: Without using an eye primer, the eye shad...

Essense Pure Nude Make-up Foundation Review

 So today I'm going to review Essense Pure Nude Foundation.I was very attracted to this foundation because of it's low price and amazing reviews. So let's see if it lives upto its expectations. Price: The best part about this product is its price. You get a lot of product in a nominal price of $8 .  Consistency: Its consistency is runny but the foundation is very smooth to apply.  Coverage: So as you can see in the pictures below, I tried to cover my pen made mark with the amount of foundation shown in the above picture. And the results aren't good.What a shame.It hardly covered anything . Staying Power:  It doesn't stay put very long. The very hot weather could be the reason why it doesn't stay even as long as 2 hours.  Conclusive Rating: Although it doesn't get patchy or dry, I don't love this foundation.A foundation is supposed to make your skin look better, but it just doesn't work its part. The only thing ...

This might be the best foundation ever

 Bourjois healthy mix foundation has been a popular choice among many beauty bloggers and beauty geeks.So Let's see what this hype is all about and is it worth all the hype or not?   Price:  Price is the most important factor when you're as cheap as me. It cost me almost $24 in Pakistan for 30 ml, which isn't a bad deal for me to be honest. Consistency:  As you can see in the picture, it's texture is thick but still smooth and a little liquid. I absolutely love its texture.It applies very smoothly so I'd give it a 5/5 in terms of consistency. Coverage: I did a little test on my hand to demonstrate its coverage. I put on a pen mark on my arm and tried to cover it with the amount of foundation I have in above picture. It's coverage was good, not perfect, but very good.You can hardly see the mark visible after applying the foundation.   Staying power: And here comes the bummer. I only used it in extra hot weather, so it could...

I've been using kids shampoo for 2 years and the results are amazing.

We all get dazzled by the shiny hair advertised in the beauty commercials and are forced to buy the expensive fancy looking bottles of hair products because we assume that this is the only way.I used to think just the same way.Before we start let me remind you all that I'm a 20 year old adult woman.  I used pantene's shampoos and conditioners most of my life. Don't get me wrong, my hair used to look great after using that. I would condition my hair after every wash. My hair were shiny and super silky. But every time I  would forget using conditioner,my hair would look very weird (some of my hair had really curly almost wrinkly texture). I also got a lot of grey hair in the result.                        That got me worried so I started researching the issue. Turns out, most of the shampoos and conditioners contain silicon which coats your hair, makes them look like they're very silky and smooth but doesn't help the...

Get rid of acne by cutting out "hot foods".

Being born in the age of internet, I always trusted internet more than my grandma.I mean, Who believes in the 100 year old myths when you have science?  Well I was wrong to do so. I've been suffering from acne since i was 17 years old(Now 20). Sometimes they are hardly noticeable, While on others , I can't bear to look at my face. I've tried everything from cutting out dairy items, switching between piles of face-washes, and of course the anti-acne creams.But all to vain.                                                         I look at my skin that had all these privileges and then I look at my mother's. How did she keep her skin looking so soft and glowy without all these equipments we have access to nowadays. She says she has never applied any skin care product other than a hand soap to her face.*narrows eyes*         ...
