“Free makeup? No thank you.” said no girl ever. Unless she wasn’t really into makeup and stereotypes drove her crazy. Which I, with my extremely basic makeup knowledge and annoyance with being pigeonholed into conventional roles, can totally understand. But I would still say yes to the free makeup ’cause I’m a hoarder. Um, yeah. Anyhow, before I…
Let’s be real for a second – Most of us Pakistani girls grow up thinking innerwear is meant to be beige, ugly and only to be talked about in hushed tones. Not to forget that you’re in a constant competition for the Best Kept Secret Award so one accidental display of a bra strap and you’re out. The competition…
So, I have this new theory – maybe all the pimples and inexplicable redness and other stuff that we keep having to deal with are just cries for help by our skin. It’s trying to tell us we’re doing something wrong. Except I can never really figure out what I’m doing wrong (apart from the fact that…
Hiii. I’ve missed you guys the last few days! Slowly getting super attached to this blog, in case you couldn’t tell. Oh, and I secretly hope you’ve missed me too c: Today, we’re talkin’ about this really easy hairstyle I discovered over the weekend. I’ve always had a thing for half-up hairdos. I feel like…
Hello there. Have I mentioned to you guys how I’m the world’s biggest coward when it comes to trying out new things? I don’t mean new things like food or travel. I’d be first in line if things like those were on offer. I mean things like starting a blog or doing a hairstyle video. Both…
Hey you. I know what you were thinking when you woke up this morning, “Today is the day I will discover a super awesome facial cleanser that will magically solve all of my skin problems.” Okay, so maybe not exactly that but admit it, I’m close c: Even if you weren’t and you’ve somehow stumbled…
I don’t know about you guys but the thought of forking over PKR 2000 or more for a lipstick makes me a bit dizzy. It also makes me question my life choices but that’s a story for another time. Not that I haven’t been tempted to, of course. I’ve spent hours drooling over lipsticks at MAC…
Update: Girls, some of you had written to me saying that these might contain high lead content. While I love the fact that they’re cheap, nothing is more important than your health. There are ways of testing lip colours for lead content at home such as this. I’ve also heard about a gold ring test but that apparently is just a…
Raise your hand if you like your skin feeling as soft as a particular anatomical part of an infant (y’know what I’m talkin’ about). What if I told you you could get silky smooth skin like that without paying exorbitant amounts for those insanely expensive branded scrubs?! It may sound too good to be true but it…
Lush is one of my favourite beauty brands. Who doesn’t love the idea of fresh, handmade cosmetics that smell so good you wanna eat ‘em up?! But, there are two major problems I have with it: It’s not available in Pakistan. So that means you’ll find yourself begging distant relatives or friends or anyone you…
