Another day, another review and yet another lipstick ;)
i know i have already confessed my love for lipsticks numerous times but i just cant get tired of saying this! i LOVE lipsticks!!

and this time what lipstick did i get to try out? Jordana Lipstick in Raspberry.
Berry shades are my jam they are like my thing yo! and i can not stop choosing cherry redish type shades every time i have to pick a lipstick.

Naturally i was glad i got this shade when i found it in my goodie bag. i was one happy bee.

Jordana Lipstick is contained in black and silver packaging with Jordana labelled on it. The transparent lid closes with a click securing the bullet inside but to be honest it does not look very sturdy and you should be careful when handling it.


Raspberry is a beautiful cherry red shade that Asian skins can pull off easily. Its the sort of color that looks fabulous on mehndis. I dont know why the shade reminds me of mayons and mehndis hehe. Probably because the last season every makeup artist was using this shade for mehndi brides. Pair this lipstick with subtle gold and brown eye looks, the lip shade being the center of attention will pop and look absolutely gorgeous. I already have a look in mind for this which i will try out soon in sha Allah.


The texture of the lipstick is glossy and buttery. I prefer using such lipsticks because i have super dry lips and matte lipsticks and i arent really very good friends =p
The lipstick keeps my lips hydrated and stays for good long hours. Of course touch up is required if you eat and stuff but i think its fine since i always like to retouch my lipstick after some time. The lipstick glides smoothly and doesnt get in your fine lines making your lips appear fuller and yummier ;)

The Verdict

A few weeks ago i revealed to you guys the goodie bag Jordana Pakistan and J4G were generous enough to give us. The one from Jordana also contained an eyeliner which we shall be reviewing today. Click here to find out what else was in the goodie bags (yes there was more than one hehe).

I absolutely love testing eyeliners cuz i feel it enhances our desi eyes so well. One product that every single girl. whether she is into makeup or not, definitely has in her vanity is an eyeliner so yeah this is an important review people!

I always test the products myself but this time i decided to add a little twist. I gave the eyeliner to my sister to test out since she has been looking for a good eyeliner lately. I discussed it with her and she said she was up for it.

So i asked her the problems she faces with her current eyeliner and why she wants to switch.
She told me she ordered a much raved and hyped about eyeliner pencil in hopes that this will be THE ONE but failed miserably since all it did was make her look like a racoon. She complained that it never stayed on and was not the very blackest black that she wanted.

I told her to switch to Jordana Color Xtend Eyeliner in Black Out, use it for some time and let me know what she thought of it.


A few days later she messaged me saying that she absolutely loved it.
According to her Jordana Color Xtend Eyeliner does not smudge on her smudge prone eyes and did not make her look like a panda. Mission Accomplished!

Now let me tell you guys what i thought of the product.

The Verdict

14th August isnt complete with a little makeup look. Am i right?! Who doesnt love going all green on this very special day that us Pakistanis absolutely love to celebrate.

This is a review for a product that according to me is the most essential item in my makeup stash; Lipstick!
That is right! i absolutely love lipsticks. Beautifully made bullets with amazing colors *sigh* just so yum! Lipsticks are one thing that i consistently use daily. So naturally you would understand my excitement when i found out that Odho Cosmetics has sent me, not one or two but FIVE different shades of lipsticks to try out.

Packaged in gold and maroon bullets these babies look gorgeous at first sight and entice you to try out the shades.

Odho Cosmetics was one of the pioneers to come up with locally made cosmetics in Pakistan. You can find their makeup stocked up at many supermarkets and retail makeup stores. They have come up with wide range of colors and items in their collections and are ready to expand their line even more.

Coming to the item in question at the moment.
All of these lipsticks are matte but somehow i feel they all have very different textures. Here are the shades i received.


Rapture:

Rapture is an amazing maroon shade and i instantly fell in love with it. Perfectly matte and gives you a gorgeous red pout. It did become a little flaky after a few hours and i had to scrub it off and retouch it. Although it is matte and i dont usually go for matte lipsticks but i love using this lipstick solely for its gorgeous shade.

Peaceful:

Peaceful is a purplish shade. The shade is not very appealing to me perhaps if it would have been a tad bit darker i would have liked it. i dont like the texture either it settles in the fine lines of my lips and makes my lips look super dry and flaky, Also the lipstick broke off from its umm fixture? i dot know what its called any ways its not sturdy at all so you better be careful when handling it.

Obnoxious:

Obnoxious is a copperish shade with bits of shimmer which i never thought i would ever like but its my favorite after Rapture. Although, like the shade peaceful it settles in your fine lines (use some vaseline or lip balm before applying the shade) but it doesnt dry out too much and looks really pretty. The shimmer doesnt show up very much but makes your lips look lustrous so that makes it worth the use.

Pleasure: 

Pleasure is a pinkish nude shade with a ton of chunky glitter in it. The shade is really pretty but the glitter ughh the glitter ruins everything. I am not a fan of chunky glitter at all and this shade has loads of it which seriously sucks. Its super drying and flaky as well. Unless you are one to go for glittery stuff then help yourself but i would suggest you skip it if you are like me and dont like glitter.

Bashful:

Bashful is a dirty brown matte shade which is not very wearable to be honest and that is the reason i reviewed it the last. You can countour with it though because the shade is perfect for that So if ever Odho Cosmetics decides to come up with a contouring kit they know which shade to go for haha. Anyways, the formula is like Rapture and doesnt settle in your fine lines. Perhaps you can try it for different looks for cosplay or maybe when you are trying to go for a gothic look.

Have a look at all the swatches

*Pleasure was wrongly labeled as Paradise

Verdict:

So finally after almost half a year i have decided to get back to blogging. I have been procrastinating for ages now and was semi active on my Instagram account sharing looks and a few events i attended over these months. Now that i am back i plan to give more time to my blog and invest my time in writing something worthwhile for you folks!

Ana's Special Tip

On October 25th Color Studio Pro invited some of the bloggers to their first ever Blogger Meet and Greet at Cafe Forty4.

I was very excited since this was going to be my first interaction with the company and my first visit to the cafe as well.

Nida from Nida's Beauty Bag and i hitched a ride together and upon arrival we met Marium Fahad, Rakshanda Khan, Bakhtawar, and Shumaila.
Shumaila, Nida, Bakhtawar and I had a whole session of photography in the smoking area. Since nobody was there we just took over the space and there were clicks everywhere hehe. Sana Nabi, who has become my selfie partner at all these events (i have a selfie with Sana from every event we have been to together =p) joined us in our photography shenanigans. Thanks to Bakhtawar of Jeebee's Glam World for bringing her dslr ;)

As we all got together we headed towards the room where CSP had arranged a set up for the Meet and Greet

The dim lights created a cosy atmosphere. Since it was also a soft launch of the new "Kohl Addict" the room was decorated in purple and black colors . There were balloons, a cake that looked like the "Kohl Addict" Black Kajal's packaging and they even had a beautiful frame made specially for us to take pics. *sigh* CSP understands us so well =p

So we talked about CSP, their makeup, what we want to see in the future. After going over what we as makeup enthusiasts look for in an eyeliner or a mascara we discussed CSP's new launches; Kohl Addict Black Kajal, Hypnotic Curve and Volume Mascara, Obsession Lash Voluptuous Volume Mascara Hypno Eyes Felt Tip Eyeliner and Eye Stylist Brush Tip Eyeliner
The products look really good. The eyeliners arrived at a great time since i have been looking for a good one.
These products are designed, keeping in mind what the customers want from each one of them. There is something for everyone in that little box of happiness CSP gave us.
They had a cute little buffet arranged for us. I especially loved the bread pudding and gonna give it a try myself soon.

Oh and how can i forget the cake. It was made especially for the occasion from Pie in the Sky.  The cake was deeelicious!!

The team was very hospitable and told us about all these products in detail. They even offered us to try them out right there and then but hey we are beauty bloggers we were all dolled up already =p And of course it is always fun meeting amazing fellow bloggers. All of us left feeling happy, goody bags in our hands, bellies filled and excited to try out the new products.

A detailed post will be up soon after i try the products. You are gonna have to wait a bit this time since i am having some kind of allergy on my eyelids =( *sniff sniff* I was really excited to try out the products. All of them look so good but not to worry i am gonna think of something ;)

Till then check out these images..




Have you tried CSP products before? Did you like them? Which one is your fav makeup item ? Voice it below =)

A lipstick or as my my sister and i like to call it "Lippie" is my favorite product out of all the makeup items. When you need to go out and dont feel like doing any makeup, just put on some kajal and lipstick and you are all set to go. It is amazing how a different shade of lipstick can completely change the overall look. Pair a nude lipstick with a dark smokey eye and you create a classic. Swipe on some red lipstick with the same eye makeup and you become a daring diva.
