Coastal Scents 88 Mirage Palette-Review,Photos+Look

Coastal Scents 88 Mirage Palette

Result: The word "Mirage" is French and means "to look at or to wonder at". The Coastal Scents 88 Mirage Palette was launched in February 2011. The palette since then has not been a lot in the lime light but it is a successful CS product. The only reason it is not well known, perhaps, is the success ratio of other Coastal Scents 88 palettes, especially, the 88 warm and shimmer palette. But when i was shopping for a palette for myself I wanted something that suits my complexion and different textures.

Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette- Review,Photos

Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette

Result: I discovered Coastal Scents a few years ago, while googling about eye makeup and I was really impressed with their makeup line, especially the eye shadows. The only problem was that I did not have a credit card to place an order, secondly, I've heard a lot about their hefty shipping prices that can really burn a whole in your pocket, so I backed out. 

Rivaj UK Color Fusion Nail Enamel 20, 59 and 42-Review, Photos, Swatches

Result: So I go to my regular store one day and find Rivaj UK nail colors. I was like, o.k cool. Then I see this dazzling electric blue shade that i have been after for some time now. I just rush to the counter, grabbed it, applied it and i loved it. So i picked 2 more shades and yes, I'm happy that I did.

Rivaj UK holds a good reputation in the cosmetic industry. It is not as well known as MAC or other top brands but there's no doubt the brand offers super quality makeup at great prices. Let's jump into details.

Classic Smokey Eye

This look is inspired by Christine of Temptalia.com In her tutorial she's used everything mac, but I'm going to do the look using some basic cosmetics that are available in almost all major cities throughout Pakistan. My tutorial is limited to the eye makeup only. You can accompany it with your choice of lips and cheeks. Do try it out and let me know how it came out.

Luscious Cosmetics Twilight Kit-Review, Photos, Swatches

 

Result: The Luscious Cosmetics Twilight Kit was a block buster hit just like the movie. What added more to its success was the Twilight Contest, that promised its winners a beautiful original Twilight necklace as a prize. And I was one of the lucky winners.

Femina Nail Polish F-1320 and 90-Review, Photos, Swatches

Femina Nail Colors 90 and F-1320

Result: I really think you all should try these. These are nail polishes by Femina (I heard somewhere this brand belongs to Kryolan of Germany but on the bottle it says Made in UK). I’m sure a lot of you haven’t heard about this brand, but I found this locally. I have two shades from them. One is the F-1320 and the other one is 90 . This brand is basically my current favorite, but this stuff is not widely available.

Luscious Cosmetics HD Mineral Foundation 02 Medium Beige-Review, Photos, Swatch

Luscious Cosmetics HD Mineral Foundation 02 Medium Beige

Result: I was so reluctant to buying foundation because I've had a very bad experience with this stuff. I think it’s been like; around 2 years since I wore foundation, because of all the previous brands I tried were awful. I tried the Etude water base foundation, which was no good. I even tried that “as seen on tv” stuff and oh my God, those were like the worst things on earth. Before them I used the Maybelline Shine Control foundation stick which I loved, but they discontinued it later on. And since it’s not easy to find authentic makeup products in Pakistan (until now) I had just given up. I just thought I’d never buy one, because I didn't want to play with my skin anymore.
