Writer's Front- The perfect place for writers.

Hello

          I have a different post today for you. I would like to share this amazing platform with all of the people who have the talent and skill for writing. Many of us have a thing for creative writing but unfortunate for us, no outlet to show off our talent. Well writer's front is the perfect place for you. So all of you free lance talented writers this post is for you.
                                                                       

What the company says:

                                      Writer's Front offers you flexible working hours and an opportunity to pursue your passion for writing. With interesting articles and exciting research work you can expand your knowledge and get paid for it.

Writer's Front

                           The best thing about writer's front is that you get paid. Yes they don't expect hard labour without the monetary incentive unlike other online writers' platforms. Everyone gets paid for the hard work.
So basically its easy money without the work being too taxing. Another positive is that writers are guaranteed a payment on monthly basis and can also expect increments at regular intervals. I think its a great way to encourage writers to bring forth their best. Moreover the writers get monthly bonuses on performance basis.

They offer the writers freedom to use their own creativity and revisions are rare. Almost 99.9% of all articles get approved regardless of what Writer’s Front’s clients say so writers almost always get paid for their work. Even in case an article is 100% plagiarized they will give you chance to re-do your work. 2nd chances are very rare in professional fields but the people at Writer's Front are very accommodating.

They also give the writers freedom to hand in any number of articles they want to daily. There is no limitation so the work flows out regularly and in bulk. All this means more money for you.

All these amazing incentives and flexible work hours seem so unreal but this platform is made specially for the awesome writers out there. In my opinion this is a golden opportunity to do what you are passionate about and get paid for it. What more could one ask for. So what are you waiting for? Head over the page, get your creative juices flowing and write, write, write.

Victoria's Secret Elegant Clutch

       Recently I got the chance to shop from an online store Platinum.pk. The store has a good range of wallets,clutches and handbags. What surprised me was the brands they were offering. They even have stuff from Kardashian Kollection which I haven't really seen anywhere else in Pakistan.
 I ordered this clutch from them. It has a vibrant purple colour and the glittery surface really catches your eye.
                 

                     

Website Images

           
It is perfect for me while I travel with makeup. I know it is a clutch but personally I would use it as a makeup pouch.

The thing that I liked most about it was the zipper. It is so elegant.
             

The inside is all black with no logo of any kind on it.
                       

What I don't like about it is the black leather strap it has on the outside. I think its faux-leather and could have been a tad better looking.

               

As far as the service is concerned it was good. I placed my order in the evening I got a call the next day and two days later my clutch was delivered. They offer free delivery with COD which is a major plus in my opinion.

Now coming onto the burning issue of originality. I cannot comment on that as I am not technically equipped to judge. If the stuff is original that is good and if it is a replica it is a fine one I have to say(apart from the faux-leather it is very good looking).
              

Price: It costs Rs. 2500.

Final Verdict: The range of products being offered is good but I wish they would lower their prices a little bit.
I am happy with my purchase.

Great News for my readers.

Olivia Kajal

Hello

     I have a review for a local brand Olivia. Very recently they came up with their latest offering. A Kajal. It is a lot like Hashmi's blue/red tubed version.
                      

     The packaging is a shiny black plastic with the name written in gold. I would prefer the red/blue packaging since it is easier to spot.
                    

Before I tell you about my experience of the kajal I should tell you that my eye lids are really dry and sometimes its hard to apply liners and stuff because it tugs.

This kajal didn't perform well when I applied it on my upper eye lids. It hardly stayed for an hour or two without primer. It fairs slightly better when I prep and prime my eyes.

On my waterline it did better. It stayed for a good 4+ hours. So if you are looking for something to tightline your eyes with this is is for you.

It isn't difficult to apply but the the fat tip can make things difficult for beginners who aren't expert at eye liner application.
                     

The pigmentation is average. Its not the blackest black thing out there. You have to do a couple swipes to get the desired colour.
                   

Price & Availability: Its available for RS. 50 only at almost all general and cosmetic stores.


Final Verdict: The price is so good you can definitely give it a whirl but don't expect it to blow you away.

Red/Green Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

So I posted a photo of the Green Velvet Cake recently on my facebook page.

                   

                     
I have made this cake thrice already. Once in green and twice in red. Every time I have got great praises for it. Its taste and texture is different from normal cakes we bake at home. It is really soft and not very overpoweringly sweet. I make this cake for special occasions only.

                     

Google Image: This is how a red velvet looks like. I don't however add the center layer of cream.

Now I am sharing my recipe with you guys. I found it online but since I  have tried it already you guys can trust this one :) There are a million recipes online but you cant be sure whether they'll work or fail.

>Vinegar         1 tsp
>Vanilla Essence 1 tsp
> Salt   Tiny Pinch (optional)

***(This quantity depends on which type of colours you are using. Good gel colours are sufficient in little amounts like one or two teaspoons but the ones available in Pakistan are not that good.)
>Apple Sauce     3/4 cups
***(Apple sauce recipe: Take two apples peel them and remove the seeds. Now blend them with 3 Tbsp water and make a paste)***
>Butter Milk     1 Cup
***(Butter Milk: You can make it yourself. Put one Tbsp fresh lemon juice in a cup and add normal milk to it and let it stand for 10 minutes. It changes its consistency and that's when you get your butter milk)***

Castor sugar   1 1/2 cups
Flour          2 1/2 cups

3. Now add the eggs one at a time.
4. Keep on beating and now add the vanilla essence, salt  and vinegar.

5. Now put the half of dry mixture A in bowl of Mixture B.
6. Using a spatula fold it in slowly.
7. Now put the rest of Mixture A and fold it too.
8. Add the butter milk and start beating again on normal speed.
9. Add your food colour and beat for a minute or two on fast speed. 




Pour your mixture in the cake pan and bake at 180 C for 30 minutes.

Himalaya Herbals Nourishing Skin Cream

Winters are finally here and for girls with extremely dry skin that is never a welcoming news. I wanted to be prepared for the winters. I was looking for a cream that came in a large packaging preferably a tub or a jar with SPF 30 or higher. Well I couldn't get the SPF part but at least I got a big jar of moisturizer.
                       

                      

Google Image

It comes in a plastic tub pack with a green cap. It was sealed with a foil. The packaging is really basic stuff. Nothing fancy going on here! Mine is 150ml tub with 33% extra so 200ml.
                

                      
This cream is meant for the whole body so feel free to moisturize your arms and legs.
The cream is not runny at all and has a thick consistency. It is very absorbent. I love the non-greasy formula. It does not sit heavily on the skin. It absorbs fairly quickly making it an ideal moisturizer.
The all day moisturizer claim did not work for me since my skin gets very dry in winters. I re apply the cream after 6-8 hours.

I does not give out a strong odour. It has a soft smell to it if you observe closely.

Its main ingredients are Aloe Vera, Winter Cherry and Indian Kino Tree."
                   

Some people may dislike the jar packaging but I like it. It makes it travel friendly.

I can't speak for the oily skinned girls but for girls with dry skin it works good. It hasn't caused any breakouts so far.
                      

Consistency Check

I wish they would do something about the SPF part :(

Price & Availability:  It can be found at most general and cosmetic stores. Its also available online at Beauty Arena for Rs 240.
For more updates check out facebook page for Himalaya Herbals Pakistan.

Final Verdict: You get a great amount of product for the price and it works really well in winters specially if you have dry skin.
