Pink Obsession- OOTD and LOTD


Hi
    Just a quick post to share my OOTD and LOTD.
I wore this to a party with my friends. I just love this lip color in fact I am obsessed with it.
This turquoise shirt was paired with a bright magenta dupatta and turquoise trousers. I loved the 'kaam' on this shirt.
                       





For hairdo I straightened my hair and teased from the center  I tied the teased hair used a small clip and left the front loose.

On my eyes I used my UD Ammo Palette.
LOTD:

On my lips I wore Karaja Rouge Matte in 57. (Available at Beauty Arena )
Its a matte deep fuchsia  pink. To add a bit of sheen to it I topped it with Smashbox photo finish lipstick in Glamorous.

Your thoughts are most welcome.

TBS Colourglide Lip colour

Hey
       I am going to do a lipstick review today. This lipstick is called Colourglide Lip Colour by The Body Shop. I have it in shade 06- Clover Pink. Its a very muted soft pink which kind of applies nude. It does not have any shimmer but has a semi-matte effect. An amazing colour you can use everyday!



The packaging is very sturdy. Its metallic silver with the TBS logo on the top of the cap. The rest of the packaging is shiny and plain. They have written the shade number at the bottom. The funny thing is it does not have any name on the lipstick itself but you can find the names along with numbers on the website.

The lipstick itself is very smooth to apply. It does not tug at your lips rather it glides on without a difficulty.
It does claim to have moisturizing abilities and I would agree to a certain extent. It does keep my lips from drying out.

It claims to be long lasting. Well it didn't last very long on me. It started to fade in the fourth hour but that could be my fault. Most lipsticks don't last long on me :)

It needs to be built to get a good colour pay off. You have to do a couple of swipes for the colour to really show on your lips. A good exfoliation of lips might help though. It appears more pink in swatches but applies kind of nude on lips.

It has a slight vanilla scent to it which is not at all over powering. The scent disappears soon after you apply the lipstick.

Swatch in yellow light


See, nude on the lips


Price & Availability: It is available on The Body Shop UK Website. It costs 10 GBP. Some Facebook pages do provide stuff from TBS's website.

My Final Verdict: Its a decent product for everyday use.You should give these a try

Mac Blush Mocha


Hello Readers!!!
                          Here I am with my first ever product review and the product I have chosen is my absolute favorite MAC Blush!!!!!!!

                         Mac has been a cult favorite,the Holy Grail of makeup and has stood its ground through all these years and who doesn't love a good blush?


      So lets start.
MAC Blush Mocha
Mocha: Matte soft plum-pink
             This blush is called Mocha and on the Mac website its described as a soft plum-pink (Matte). It is indeed a very soft pink and has very smooth texture. The best thing about it : Does not feel powdery or chalky at all. I have seen some matte blushes to feel powdery and crumbly but not this one. It has no fall out in fact on me it glides like a cream. I can't stop praising it. I just love the colour and the texture.
           
However all is not good about it. It is light on pigmentation so you have to apply a couple of times and it does not show very well on medium to dark skin tones. It would look really nice on people with fair and fair to medium tones. You can build it up but to a certain extent only.

Another plus point is it's blending power. It blends very nicely with no harsh lines. So you don't have to worry about that artificial flushed look. It glides on seamlessly. Yayy!!!

As regards to the staying power, over a foundation it should last for 6 hours or so.

Availability and price:

$21 and in Pakistan you can get it for around Rs. 2500
Since you get 6g of product this should last you a long time so no worries there. Get it from Shopaholic page on facebook. Also available on MAC Addict and leading cosmetics stores like Al-Fatah Lahore and Agha's in Khi.

My Final Verdict:

Go for it. You won't regret it!!! But if your skin tone is too dark leave this one and look for more pigmented shades.

This is how it looks on me
       
You have to build it up :(
