Review | Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Collection

Having this beautiful palette in my hands, I'm feeling so excited. Got this from Amor( a facebook cosmetic store). Before letting you know my opinion let's have a look on what "Too Faced Cosmetics" claim.

What Company says;
The Chocolate Bar experience begins as soon as you open the palette and the smell of sweet chocolate envelops you. The eye shadows are pigmented with pure, antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and includes 16 matte and shimmer shades of natural browns, delicate pinks and luscious plums. Includes our signature how-to Glamour Guide with three looks to get you started. 
Where They Got The Inspiration :
This collection was designed in the result of inspiration.Too Faced Co-Founder and Creative Director Jerrod Blandino was inspired to combine the power of antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and makeup while having a chocolate facial and learning about the benefits of cocoa at a Hawaiian spa. 
I Just come to know this so thought to share with you all beauties




My Opinion;
This is the most delicious palette I have ever came accross , oops I meant deliciously fragrant. I am all sold. Very nicely blend-able texture. All colours are highly pigmented. 


Sixteen sweet chocolatey fragrant eye shadow powders are equally wonderful while applying as they smell. Cocoa powder is used as a main ingredient , due to which skin remains healthy.
This yummy gummy chocolate menu includes shades as follows;
Glided Ganache:

Salted Caramel:
Hazelnut:
Marzipan:
Creme Brulee:
Semi Sweet:
Haute Chocolate:
Milk Chocolate:
Strawberry Bon Bon:
Cherry Cordial:
Black Forest Truffle:
Candid Violet:
Triple Fudge:
Amaretto:
White Chocolate:
Champagne Truffle:
These were the pictures and swatches of beautiful colors of this collection. A variety of looks can be created.
One can easily acquire the results according to her own mood such as dramatic gothic look to a soft subtle look. There is a variety of colors from shimmery to sheen, matte to gold. Mix and match for creating unique styles or use individually.

Glamour Guide:


Also includes a "how to glamour guide" inside the box , in which they reveals the yummiest recipes for chocolatey eye looks.
Bottom line is that , I'm holy souly stupefied in love of this amazing palette.
Price and Availibility :
Can be purchased by any online store. The price shown on there site is $ 42 , where as I got mine for pkr 6000 from online Facebook page Amor.
Have you tried this chocolate mania.

Review| Victoria's Secret Bombshell Bronze Makeup Kit

Hello pretties! 
My today's review is over Victoria's Secret  bombshell makeup kit in bronze.
It came to me as a gift from USA along with lots of other stuff. Yes the source is as usual the same , my sister in law.
So let's come towards review.

According to Victoria's Secrets;

The perfect palette of sexy bronze shades and dramatic brights for summertime looks, all in one expandable, mirrored mini-kit with a mirror. This limited-edition bronze-toned set contains 8 shadows, 4 glossy lipsticks, and one blush all in a compact and portable palette.

Includes:
  • 8 eye shadows, 9 g/.03 oz each
  • 4 lipsticks, .5 g/.017 oz each
  • 1 blush, 4.2 g/.14 oz

My Veiws;
A small pocket friendly packaging , contains a mirror, eight eye colours , four glossy lip colours and a bronzer. Let me explain every thing separately below.
Eye shadows;
Beautiful eight colours with very nice pigmentation. Easily applicable and can be blend so nicely.
                     Eye shadows

Consisting two beautiful shades of blues, one brown shade, two shades of gold, one coral and one vanilla shade ( which I often uses as a hilighter). Now a days I'm in love with these shades.
Swatches;

Lip Colours;
Includes four glossy lip colors.

               
     Lip colours


After trying them many times I could not say that I am a fan of these four colors .
As a Lip glosses they are nice to some extent but do not work as lip colors up to the mark. The staying power is really very short. Contains sheer shine. All in all I'm not comfortable with these four colours.
Swatches;



Bronzer;
This is really a nice colour for using as a contourer or for the crease of an eye.
Nice staying power with buildable property.
                         Bronzer

Bottom line , I am impressed by the eye colours and bronzer where as lip colours are not my cup of tea.
Swatch;


Packaging;
The container is of good quality plastic which is black in color. Having a mirror inner side of the flip. Two sliding portions, one contains lip colours and the other have pressed bronzing powder.
Price And Availibility;
I got mine as a gift, which was bought from VS Store in Austin , Texas USA for $15. Can be ordered from any reliable online cosmetic store.
Please share your Veiws below if you have also used the same kit.
Love

Wanted To Share The Joy Of Surpassing Experience

Hi girls!
I know I am going so irregular for posting the reviews but what to do, I was really very bussy with some chores but now promising to be on track InShaAllah!
Ok girls so today i am not going to review any product. I will let u know about my experience with an extra ordinary make-up artist "Wafa khan" at Academy of Asthetics and all about I learned from her.
She is so humble and friendly towards her students. Always appreciate questions. Wether one interrupts in between the lecture , she totally satisfies the student by giving the logical answers so sweetly and encourage us to ask in middle of her presentation.
It was a three days "Intensive Course" covering all basics to advance techniques. Which all the other MUAs never let you know in such a short course ( sorry but I had that bad experience periviously). 

From the basic starting rules to preparing and priming of skin according to the skin type , foundation application, concealing, contouring , highlighting, several eye make-up techniques, lip colour application on different shapes of lips and how to remove make-up with proper products according to the skin type.
This is not done , she also teaches us the proper way of cleaning of brushes and applicators.
She came up with lots of tips which I have never received by any other MUA.
These tips and techniques r really very helpful.
Where as the staff of Academy of Asthetics and their friendly attitude was cherry on the top.
All the make-up products were provided by the academy for our practice. You don't need to carry a bag full of products. Even a pencil and a note book ( a manual written and designed by Wafa khan) was also provided by the academy. 



                   Our class room


    Three winged Arabian eye by Wafa



All in all , a great experience with the best people. Had learned a lot better. Highly recommended for the beginners as well as professional learners.
And yes I have made lots of new friend too.

Love

Bloom In The Summer


The summers are in the mid now and heat of the sun is over the heads. There are many ways to minimize the effects of summer. The one which produce striking imperession is cool floral prints in  clothes , accessories and shoes.



Floral affairs are very in this summer in full bloom. Flaunt your feminine side with fabulous floral.



Most of the high end brands launched theirs dresses and accessories in the light of floral or tropical touches. 
Givenchy is on top of this game at the moment with urban take on the floral trend.
Some accessories, bags, sandles and clutches are by Edie Parker and Tory Burch as well

              Bag by Tory Burch

            Clutches by Edie Parker

This trend really gives a cool breeze during this hot weather.
You can have according to your preference and choice, either Eastern wear or western style.
Give yourself a lift by picking a dress with a stylish splashing of floral embellishment. Brightly coloured  floral motifs also can be attached on both  clothes and jewellery.
You can also give a statement by wearing  chunky necklace or team with floral sandels for more casual affairs.

Review And Swatches | NARS NARSissist Cheek Kit

Having my eyes on for so long , finally I had my hands down on this beauty.
Buying source as usual Facebook online store Amor. The two ladies at Amor are really wonderful and now a good friends of mine.
Now let's come towards the review and swatches.




             NARS NARSissist cheek kit


It contains three shades in a kit,a highlighter, blush and a bronzer accompanied by a blush brush #2-N20.6, perfect trio for contouring as if used altogether or can be used individually.
This palm sized palette is too smaller than your expectations.





               Back view of product





DVOTEE ( Hi-LIGHTER )

                    
 Devotee

With a tinge of pink ,shimmery shade good for hi lighting. It is so soft and blends so easily.
Light weight with powdery texture. Gives intense shimmer.


ORGASM (BLUSH)

                    Orgasm

It is peachy pink with golden shimmer. It had good colour pay off. Easily applicable and blends smoothly with Nice buildup. As blended over the cheek leaves a beautiful golden sheen. Light in weight with powdery texture. Stay for good six hours.


LAGUNA (BRONZER)


       
              Laguna

Diffused brown powder with golden shimmer. Light weight and blends so nicely. Texture is powdery. Blends so easily. Can work well on fair to medium complexions. Staying power is too strong as for six hours and more if applied over primer . Highly pigmented. But I don't opted to use as a contourer due to orangish undertone and shimmer.

SWATCHES;



Packaging;
Three of them are housed in a high quality black plastic case having mirror under the lid.
An angled brush came with it , which I found just ok. 
Net weight 2.5 g.

Price And Availibility;
Can be available on any Facebook online store on placing order.
I got mine for  Pkr 6000 from my favourite online store "Amor".
Rating;
I will rate this product as 4.5/5
