My Five Top Pink/Pinkish Lipsticks

Pink is such a versatile makeup color, and most used. It's pretty much a safe bet with most makeup looks.

The Tarte of Giving Pure Delights Lipsurgence Set

Now I realize that writing a review on a limited edition item is pretty pointless because if you like it, you will probably not be able to get your hands on it, but the point of this post is to give you my opinion on the lipsurgence liptints by Tarte. Now all eight of these shades (4 glossy and 4 matte) are also limited edition but at least you'll know what they do for you and then it's just a matter of shade selection from the permanent line.

Lorac Pro Palette

I love my neutrals and Lorac Pro Palette is absolute eye candy for all you neutral makeup lovers out there. Though I love shimmers but they can be a bit over the top while getting ready for day time parties or small get togethers. Therefore, I was on a hunt for a good palette with matte shades. And when I saw the Lorac Pro Palette with 8 matte and 8 shimmery shadows and that too in the neutral colors spectrum, it was love at first sight. Really!! :)


Rimmel Stay Blushed Liquid Cheek Tint

Blush is so in these days and companies left and right are coming out with new formulas and innovative new products to add that extra bit of color to your cheeks. And adding blush is the best way to look more refreshed and adds that bit of health to your face. I am such a cheek product fanatic so I had to pick up one of these to review for you all.

Shade 002 Touch of Berry
There were only four shades available of which 2 were more coral and peach toned and the other 2 were pink tones. I picked up the darker of the 2 pinks since I did not really want a coral and the lighter of the pinks just did a vanishing act on me.

The Body Shop Oil Free Balancing Foundation

This is one of the very first foundations I used. I remember using it on my engagement day and I remember getting plenty of comments. To this day I love this foundation and the few that I have actually repurchased. The reason is that the climate back home is quite humid and even the a pretty dry skinned girl can end up with unflattering oily skin.

I'm in the shade 03

Most Frequently Asked Makeup Related Questions

I always enjoy reading posts on the personal preferences of different makeup junkies which prompted my co-author and I to do a collab on these most frequently asked questions. It was a lot of fun doing this post. So read on and enjoy:


1. What cosmetic brand have you always wanted to try but still haven't?
Rahima: This is going to sound crazy but I still haven't tried Makeup Forever. I'd like to give their famous foundation and flash palette a go, not to mention their lipsticks.
Mahwish: Ohh there are many. Giorgio Armani particularly their foundations, Illamasqua and Hourglass are a few of them.

2. What was your first higher end makeup item?
Rahima: The first real high end makeup product I ever tried was the Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation. Still love it, but sadly it has been discontinued.
Mahwish: It was Lancome Teint Idol Foundation and Blush. My awesome SIL, Rahima, introduced me to the world of higher end makeup and from that day there was no looking back.
