5 Product Face

I have read so many posts about peoples 5 product face and always thought I could never do it because I am a product junkie, I thought I could never just be with five products. 

So I tried and accomplished my 5 product face. It is a very simple everyday makeup face and looks good too.

So my 5 products include:

1. Mac Strobe Cream- it works as a moisturiser and illuminator, my love since 3 years, I have finished so many tubes.

2. Studio Fix Foundation- I love how it's coverage can be buildable for troubled areas, and sheer for areas that don't need much coverage, I use beauty blender and RT powder brush to apply.

3. Chanel Creme Blush in Intonation- it's a recent pick, but I wonder how I was living all this time without it, it is such a pretty colour, and the finish is amazing too, it gives a gorgeous glow to face.

4. Dior Iconic Mascara- my holy grail mascara since 2 years.

5. Guerlain Automatique in Chamade- a recent pick, but a gorgeous summer colour, works with all looks.

What are your picks for  5 product-face?

Hey, Why You Loafin' Around?

A few months back I was going around the mall looking for some everyday wear, flat and comfortable shoes and I came across loafers, and since then there is no turning back. I have always loved ballet pumps, but its just too much of them now, I have been wearing them since years, and now shoe companies have even stopped being innovative with them, they are just releasing same old styles and colours. Whereas loafers, not that new, but still they have huge variety to choose from.

My current favourites are Tod's. The ones in blue, and the ones in red, oh-am-gee, they are gorgeous. Also saw Chiara Ferragni from The Blonde Salad featuring the blue ones the other day on her insta, I got similar ones from dolmen so yayiee, they are trendy and casual, thus can be worn everyday =)

Let me show you my loafers collection. Do share what's your style?

How To Wear Perfume For A Long Lasting Fragrance

TIPS TO PROPERLY APPLY PERFUME

1. Wear perfume right after you shower, after towel dry.

2. Spray directly on your skin, skin retains perfume better then clothes.

3. Apply unscented lotion before you apply perfume, sources say, hydrated skin retains smell better.

4. Do not clash smells, use minimum scented or unscented body wash soap, or if you are layering then use same fragrance to enhance the effect.

5. Apply perfume on pressure points like wrist or neck, which radiate more heat then rest of body, thus helping to diffuse perfume more.

6. Do not rub wrists together to transfer perfume, the friction actually makes the smell go bad or changes it.

My favourite scents are:

• Guerlain Champs Elysees
• Miss Dior
• Dolce&Gabbana The One
• Gucci Guilty
• Gucci Premiere
• Coco Chanel
• Chanel Mademoiselle
• Versace Vanitas

Hair-Styling at Ireen's Signature Salon.

About Ireen's Signature Salon: This is a Karachi, Pakistan based salon. Located in the D.H.A. area of Karachi. For more information, please visit their Facebook page here.

REVIEW:

I went to Ireen's for hair-styling yesterday. Took an appointment before since they don't entertain walk-ins most of the times. I was supposed to be there by 4.30pm but I got late and reached around 5.40pm  that's pretty late I know. But, they were generous enough to still take me in (since they close by 7.30pm). 
So moving forward, I showed their hairstylist this picture and asked her to do the same thing with my hair and strictly asked her not to put a lot of spray, since stiff hair is a MAJOR turn off for me. And she listened to EVERYTHING I told her!  
I wanted a fish-tail braid starting with a loose braid from above. I don't remember her name but she did an amazing job! The picture here doesn't do much justice so you might not be able to appreciate the hair-style much. Also this picture was taken around 12 at night. So my hair stayed amazing through-out (considering this weather & humidity). Oh and all their styles are worth 1000Pkr.

Over-all I had an amazing experience with them! :D

Current Favourites!

(Picture Credits: Google)

Hey there gorgeous readers! I decided to do a different blog post this time and that is when this idea clicked me, where I can briefly review multiple products. The products shown in the picture above are my current-to-go products!

MUA Power Pout, Irreplaceable: This a gorgeous Pink lip tint. Honestly I have it for a few months now but it is only recently that I started using it excessively and totally love it! The best part about this power pout/lip tint is that after a few hours when the glossy look is gone, the color/tint still stays there. Unlike lipsticks, which when wear off they look kinda ugly because some part of the lip has the color while the other part doesn't, this power pout leaves the entire lip tinted uniformly. So even after hours when the power pout wears off my lips are still tinted pink and that looks amazing! 

Worth: 500Pkr.

You can buy this online from Just4Girls.pk

Color Studio Pro-Luminous Foundation: This is my HG foundation! Totally love it. I don't know what'd I do without it. It is liquid in consistency. Has an amazing finish. I have used this in winters and am currently using this in this terribly hot weather and it just works as good as anything! Blends in easily. Does not at all feel heavy. Let's my skin breathe. I apply this using my Real Techniques Buffing brush or my MUA stippling brush and it just gives an amazing finish! I use this in shade "Natural Skin". Comes in 4 different shades. 

Worth: 750Pkr

You can buy this from local drug-stores across the nation. If you live in Karachi you can get this from Naheed, Dolmen City Mall, Ebco at The Forum. You can buy this online too from Color Studio or from Just4Girls.pk.

MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter: highlighters are my favourite! I'm a highlighter person. It's like my new-found-love, hehe! Okay I got this highlighter a month back and have been using since then & it is great for the price that it comes in. It has this silvery-pink sheen which glows amazingly! The design and the packaging are really good, 5/5 for that! Although the glow doesn't show up in just one swipe and I have to use multiple swipes to get the actual glow but that's okay, doesn't really bother me. Can be used as a daily highlighter. Plus the product quantity is sufficient enough to last me for a life-time! 

Worth: 500Pkr

You can buy this online from Just4Girls.pk.

Luscious Blush, Peach Melba: Bought this blush lately and it-is-to-die-for! it's a gorgeous peach with slight gold sheen in it! How cool is that? I am NC25-30 and it compliments my skin amazingly! Can be used as a daily blusher. I prefer using it during evening parties, dinners and wedding parties. When paired with a smoky eye it just shows up beautifully! You'd not want to miss out on this one. 

Worth: 675Pkr

You can buy this online from Luscious Cosmetics or if you live in Karachi, can buy it from local drug stores like Aghas, Scentsation at Dolmen City, Ebco at The Forum, Naheed. 

ELF Makeup Mist & Set: I bough this product last year and honestly, initially it kept lying in my makeup stash unsed, untouched & unloved. It is only a few days back that I learnt how to use it properly and since then it has been my HG makeup setting spray! Cannot imagine my life without it. In this hot summers, this mist is one thing which keeps my makeup all day long in place  and also, it gives a dewy glow to my foundation base! Totally recommend this. Keeps my makeup in place for a good six hours during the day time when it is very very hot. 

Worth: 650Pkr

I bought this online from Lush Grooming Bargains.
