J. by Junaid Jamshed launched NOTE cosmetics under their roof on 24th june,2016. NOTE cosmetics is a Turkish brand, probably J. has got the distribution rights to sell in Pakistan.

Review UNZE London Embellished Flat Sandals

Accessories always are an important part of one's style statement. I think If you accessorize yourself in a trendy way, even in your simplest Lawn Jora or PJs anyone can rock the whole look. I recently came across a brand which is originally from U.K London UNZE London. I am glad they have recently established their flagship store in Lahore and along with that on their website they have started online sales as well.

Review~TARTE Dual Ended Slenderize Bamboo Brush (dupe)

Tarte brushes are a love in terms of beauty and technology. But there are a lot of people who would hesitate purchasing a brush with such a high price tag. Where each brush costs from $15-$34 which is way too expensive for a single brush.

Recently I was in search of a good foundation brush which can help me apply my liquid and mousse foundations flawlessly. I was looking for some cheap alternative of a high end brush on Aliexpress and was amazed to see there were almost every good brand's replica available on the site. As I was exploring I hit upon this beauty with a price tag of $8 approximately.

Website Review & Haul Reforma.Pk

In Pakistan, online shopping websites are mushrooming day by day, doing successful businesses. These websites have made our lives easy in a way, no need to hassle in rushy stores when you can sit back at in a comfy couch with a hot cup of coffee with a lappy and your required website just click and wait Ur order to arrive :).  Recently, I came across this website Reforma.pk.

Review & Swatches Becute Mousse Foundation

Pakistan's most prevailing weather Summer,which means hot and humid circumstances welcoming loads of sebum production, sweat drenched faces,pimples, acne and other skin problems ( I Know it sounds GROSS :P) which is certainly a turn off for people with oily skin type(s).
Unfortunately I am one of them but thank God I am not a grease ball because of my combination skin. My t-zone produces sebum but cheeks remain normal. The worst part is nose which no matter what I use and apply it remains immune to the counter attacks lol!.
Choosing a foundation for a combo/oily skin is always no less than a challenge to counter. And I think most of you will be agreed, The best foundation hunt would never lead to an end. In a splurge-y mood I was checking out some local stuff and found this mousse foundation.

Review MM Makeup - The Launch Event (part-1)

The journey starts from, when I got an invitation from MM Makeup team. the launch event previously happened in Karachi landed this time in Lahore. Well to keep it short,  I drove right from my Piya ka Ghar (Faislabad) to attend this amazing Launch eve.I reached SANTE beauty salon an hour before the event started, which was a plus as I comfortably roamed and got myself familiar with the beautiful ladies over there. Ma'am Musarrat Misbah herself received and greeted me and my mom. ( I took my mom too btw she rarely goes anywhere, U know moms' traumas). 
that was an awww moment for me.

Facial Hair Removal Laser Treatment + Shopping Experience from Maujan.pk

Being a shopaholic I always keep an eye on salon deals and other beauty deals on different online shopping websites. A clear trend of online shopping is gradually elevating day by day. A few years back there were no such websites which provide discounted vouchers and deals of salons, products, restaurants and other services ( or may be I am new to these), but these days I found many websites offering tempting deals.
Recently, I was going through one of the websites, maujan.pk there I found a deal of Facial hair removal laser treatment voucher on 50% discount by HALCYON health clinic.

I ordered my 3 vouchers in order to avail maximum discount on each sitting. The vouchers reached me in no time the next day, really quick service.

Laser treatment  :
I have never heard of Halcyon health clinic before, so I was a bit skeptical about the services and quality. Anyways I accepted it as a challenge and took appointment.
To cut it short, here is the pic before my full face laser treatment.

Before

  You can see the hair on my side buns and chin area even I have applied the  foundation and compact too but they aren't concealed enough. I had gross hair but not the thicker ones. I was using facial epilator I never dared to wax in routine I think years back in my teenage once I had which gave me severe breakouts so I decided to go for a full face hair removal treatment. Although, I don't have thick men like beard but I thought if its on a deal why not go for full face and get rid of permanently.

halcyon clinic

I went to the clinic it was all clean and seemed hygienic (lol). The receptionist greeted me sweetly, staff was really friendly. I reached on the given time and then an assistant came to greet me and gave me a form to fill before going through my laser. I literally got scared of all the things mentioned on it , like my family history was asked on it with all my medical history and if I am allergic to something or sensitive etc. In the end I had to sign that if something goes wrong I would be responsible because with all the information provided treatment would be done accordingly etc. Anyways the assistant was enjoying my panic stricken face she amiably came and said " yaar kuch nahi hoga it is just a formality"  
She lead me to a separate room. It was a clean small room with a big mechanical chair, walls were full of posters related surgery or laser hair removal and a big painting on the back.  No horrible ambiance was  created there with open surgical tools or anything else. A big laser machine was placed at the back of the chair in order to relax the client about something giant. I asked if she or some doctor will treat me, she replied me friendly that she's doctor's assistant and the doctor is in Dubai, I gulped and became skeptical that she might not be pro or something ( Pta nahi kya karegi, Allah Allah kro bs ab to Aamal sahiba). She wore surgical gloves and now I again gulped (lol) she came up with feminine hair removing razor to shave my face and I got scared if it would give me a beard then.  She calmed me down that nothing is going to happen like this for treatment we have to shave first to get a direct contact with hair follicle which is to be destroyed. So I took a sigh! of relief and  she shove my whole face. I got a facial around 25 days back about which she said bleached hair are less effected by the laser so avoid bleach during all ur sittings. She did some adjustments to the big machine after examining my skin. Then brought a gun probe near me something like this

GOOGLED  IMAGE FOR PROBE

She place the small ring around and like a gunshot she fired the lase beam on my side bun. It was a spark of light which hurt me like something suddenly bit me or burned me but with a gush of chilled water or some compressed air. It all happens in a glimpse of an eye. She placed the ring all over my face and during that we chit chatted a lot, I must she's so friendly and a good natured person, I have seen many assistants and subordinates who are so rude like if they are someone out of the world, But this lady I must say is adorable.I forgot to mention she gave me eye goggles to prevent any damage to the sensitive parts of eyes. Later the lady gave me ( I forgot her name, might be Neelam ,I guess) an ice pack and asked me to rub it all over my face in order to soothe the skin for 15 mins. It was all a hardly 10 mins process and then you can leave with an ice pack to cool down the skin as it reddens (may be in my case).

before & after- 1st sitting

My skin felt smooth and soft I finally got rid those filthy side buns ( I used to hate always). All I can see was a beautiful clean skin. No reactions, No breakouts nothing horrible happened. I was satisfied and happy. But to mention I got severe itching all over my face but as it was mentioned on their form it can occur, its natural so I didn't worry and It finished within two days.I was given appointment after a month. So I was free to enjoy my new clean face (lol) . I observed within the month only tiny weak hair appeared on some aeas of my face like upper lips forehead and side buns but they are not noticeable, only if I place a caressing hand then I could feel tiny hair otherwise they weren't visible at all. But as I have told to come back after a month I rushed with the below shown hair growth.

before-2nd sitting

Again I reached the clinic on time. The assistant came greeted me and started shaving me. This time I was feeling more relaxed and (experienced). She started treating me and we chatted lively than I was given an ice pack again after cooling ,calming and soothing. The lady gave me sunscreen to apply before leaving. And here are the results ...

after-2nd sitting

I was again called after a month for my 3rd sitting. During the month I didn't feel anything itchy like I had in my first one. Again tiny fine hair growth all I could observe with no more thick hair on chin and clustered hairy side buns.

th

Before-3rd sitting

This time I reached the clinic on time but a client was given time before me ( which I didn't mind ,exceptions are everywhere). I waited for about an hour in the waiting lounge and chit chatted with ladies sitting next to me who visited first time and asked me for reviews and obviously I am happy client of Halcyon I guided them, and they came happy too from the room after treatment.
My treatment started again with same process. This was my Last voucher hence last chance of availing discount (lol).  Now I have not been given any time frame for appointment. The assistant told me I can come whenever I feel hair growth is visible, I was advised Elfogen cream for hair growth reduction.

after- 3rd sitting

Points To Keep In Mind:

*If  You are going through laser treatment, DON'T ever dare to go for waxing or threading otherwise hair would grow back with similar intensity. 

*Apply Eflogen after treatment.

*Sunblock is a MUST ( preferably with spf 40+)

*Avoid bleaching hair before and after going through the treatment.

* Use Ice Pack after treatment

My Experience:
 Overall it was an amazing experience. No horible stories to brag about. Maujan.Pk is a good reliable website with tempting deals and quick service. Whereas, Halcyon (though infamous) is an excellent option for all Lahori ladies to get there laser done. I recommend it for the ladies having similar facial hair problem. I won't say that it will completely vanish the hair like **poof!!** but it will certainly lower the intensity of hair growth. I paid around rs.8000/- for three vouchers on 50% off deal. It means single sitting is for rs.5000/- :) 
For any futher queries leave me a comment or you are welcome to email me as well at amie_ch1@yahoo.com.

***DISCLAIMER*** this post is no way sponsored or endorsed by the clinic or the website. Each voucher was purchased by me with my own money.

I hope you enjoyed reading my experience post.

These were mine goodies sent by Wajiha Shakeel Ahmed, though we have to keep our identities anonymous but Wajiha innocently wrote her name with address so it was no surprise for me.

The parcel was beautifully decorated with glitter hearts and inside the box, it was all filled with colorful glittery rubber strands.

Review & Swatches BH cosmetics Forever Glam Palette

 Awesomeness is when you receive ur giveaway winnings. 

Yup! This time I won this beautiful little treasure in a fun activity organised by our lively pbbc member Marium shahjahan...

First of all I am pretty impressed with its elegant packaging, I can't resist to appreciate Mariam's skills.

I am loving the size of the palette, esp. the big sized mirror so you can see your whole face clearly. The sleek matte black casing looks gorgeous .
To be honest I might have seen bh cosmetics Forever Glam palette on their website, but it was a random look. As I am having it, I think it's a complete little package perfect for a person like me who travels a lot. Carrying highlighter, blushers, lipglosses, eye shadows is a big headache for travelers. I think after having this palette I have earned loads of space in luggage *well I think that's a bit exaggerating*.
There are 6 eye shadows, one highlighter, 2 blushers and 2 lipbalms.

Here are the swatches for eye shadows. They are finely pigmented but not do dense in pigmentation. The dusky blue is the most poorly pigmented though it is the most tempting shade. Coral and other frosty shades are good in pigmentation. I love the frosty champagne n coral. The color selection is good, a combination of day time and night time looks eye shadows.

Highlighter is frosty white, good in pigmentation . There's no need of building it up. A slight sweep can be enough to pay off the product finely. 

Blushers are also 50-50 in pigmentation, the coral pink with glitter one on the left is most poorly pigmented.I got only chunky glitter and no color on application. Even u can notice its silver glitter in swatch with no visible undertone. Pink is more of a bubble gum pink a cute girly shade. Again it is picked in order to achieve day or night look.

Lip balms or lipstick pans are good in pigmentation. No peculiar scent or anything . It feels buttery on lips. Nice and quite long lasting .

Positive points: 
*travel friendly
*all in one makeup kit
*lipsticks are nicely pigmented

Negative points:
*eye shadows are moderately pigmented
*peach blush has gritty glitter
*no brush/applicator

My thoughts:
Overall a complete package in a not so small kit. Beautiful colour selection. Pigmentation is just fine,not over the top. You can buy it from bh cosmetics website or online Facebook pages selling it.

Thanx for reading,
I would love to read ur comments below.

Classics Lipstick-203 Review & Swatches

Classics is a Turkish brand under the surveillance of Golden Rose cosmetics. Although, Classics is not a popular brand and I am not sure about its availability too. I found a lipstick by this brand in a local store.

I was pretty impressed by the shades variety. But mostly it consisted mute and nude tones of pink,peach,brown and mauve. I selected Classics lipstick in 203. The lipstick has a transparent lid and and gray base, which looks very classy.

The color I selected is a light pink, but not a frosty pink, with coral undertones. Its quite a girly, bubbly and a young pink **I don't know how to define this gorgeous shade**.

As u can see in the swatches its a moisturizing lipstick with no frost or sheen but a semi matte finish. The bullet seems dry n matte but in application its slightly glossy. The only issue with this baby is its pigmentation, the consistency seems uneven when applied **I wonder why?? **. I builded the product a couple of times to show its consistency. But when applied on lips it tints the lips,its more of a nude gorgeous pink. Its staying power is average like other lippies. I have a bad habit of smacking lips so I avoid writing about durability. After I remove it, my lips are not left dry or chapped like most of the lipsticks do with my lips. In the image below i topped it with a nude pink gloss

Plus Points:
* Beautiful shade range
* Perfect for daily usage
* Moisturizing
* Moderately pigmented
* Affordable

Negative Points:
* Availability can be an issue
* Scent and powdery taste can be an issue ( like medora)

My Thoughts:
Overall a beautiful lipstick with classy tone. Moisturizing and without any frost ***I don't like frosty lipsticks***. I bought it for rs.350/- from ENEM liberty store.It might be available on other places or eBay as well.

i hope u like reading it.
