alkaram SPRING COLLECTION first look Lawn 2015 REVIEW


Hello Beauties.
this time i have decided to come up with something different. As lawn craze always gets its peak before even summer starts to strike our land. I thought why not to review some Lawn collections. I recently got my hands on two catalogs one by Bonanza and another by alkaram. both of them was a gift I mean I got them free by these brands . Today I am going to Review alkaram collection because seriously it has lot to review about,catalog consist of 305 pages and beautifully captured pics.
before reviewing collection lets have some words on its catalog.
First this year catalog is way to much better then the previous one ( i dont know who gave them idea last year of coming with white mannequins and origami on the head . Last year catalog was boring for me atleast)
Catalog 2014

but this time catalog its self is fantastic apart from huge collection of different themes they have interview with Saniya Mastakiya , event details held by alkaram called "master sahab alkaram" ,tips for cuts and Trends of 2015 spring. Event details of Zoe live in concert and a Style diary. Ina nut shell while going through this catalog you will fell like reading a magazine a fashion magazine instead of some boring catalog. Moreover picture has been fantastically taken with beautiful locations.

So lets start review on its collection
over all they have tremendously gathered contemporary,ethnic,traditional and floral collection together under one umbrella .

ROYAL SILK.
beautiful three piece suits with silk duppata vibrant colors and embroidery ...

CHINKARI.
i guess every women who is updated with latest trend must be aware of this word "chinkari". and i was really amazed to see how nicely alkaram has brought this style into lawn . inspired with traditional chinkari hand embroidery ...
SUMMER PAISLEY
very beautiful bunch of dressed ,totally love.prints embroidery motifs just perfect. they have three piece with lawn or chiffon dupatta plus 2 piece kurta collection.

then they have some floral fantasy ,gold impression and also modern Geo which consist some modern geometric prints.

ETHNIC FUSION.
collection based on traditional motifs . beautifully combined collection.

KAMDANI.
not fancy lawn as its name indicated but they have nicely used kamdani beads in lawn .. two piece collection

DIGITAL.
way better then last year digital collection . very lively and vibrant prints and colors has been compiled in this collection.

overall nice collection to go with this summer. I have already selected 2 for my self .
they have shown all trends in their catalog not just knee length shirt with cigar pants but. coat ,long or short shirts ,ezar/ plazo or straight paints all...

so go grab some for u but before that have a look on its catalog online.

Schwarzkopf Bonacure Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner Review

Hello Beauties.
Its been around 2 months i have not written any blog or review for you guys therefore this time i have come up with something very efficient and affordable to make you hair look beautiful. Being a victim of frizzy hair i wanted a solution that ends up my frizz and dryness from hair. And fortunately i got this spray . this is now my on the Go hair product ...!!!
I visited my salon for haircut and I was suggested this hair spray by my stylist.She even used this product on my hair after hair cut and i was amazed to see quick results .It simply untangled all knots from my hair and made them soft and free of frizz. so I bought this spray and now its part of my hair routine

USAGE:
She told me two ways to use it.
First one was for those lazy girl (hahahha) who does not like to put conditioner on hair because for that they have to towel dry hair and wait for 3 to 4 minutes and then again rinsing. so for them.
"Simply shampoo your hair rinse them and after a towel dry ,shake bottle gently spray this on to your hair concentrating more on lower end and tips,keep moving your finger through hair to distribute the solution evenly.
Second one was for someone like me who is ready to give time for treating her self ( every girl should be like this , taking out time for your self is very important) so for them shampoo your hair and apply conditioner rinse your hair and after this follow above mentioned process .(for better results my hair routine is oiling my hair for at least one hour or max 2 hours , shampoo,conditioner and then moisture spray )

SHAKE IT BEFORE USE IT
Its light weight but intensive 2 phase emulsion spray splits into two kind of liquids which get separate when u place it for some time ,therefore u need to shake it lightly to combine those liquids


SPRAY BOTTLE.
its nozzle is superb that makes it easy to use and distributes the solution evenly onto hair without making hair heavy.  It comes in 400ml and 200ml bottles



PROS.
1.light weight
2.no sticky look after usage
3.inexpensive
4.quick result
5.easy to use
6.every day care product
7.can be used with shampoo and conditioner of different brand

CONS
Does not work for split ends

PRICE
200ML bottle for 850/- PKR

PLUS POINT
Its gives you very shiny hair and protects your hair from heat after blow dryer or straightener.

hope you like the post... do comment

ELF Shimmering Facial Whip



                                      HELLO Beauties..
again its been so long now But now I am done with my Masters Exams and on the blog again.
This time I have come up with a thing every girl wants now a days it their look glowy cheeks or 100 watt skin.
I found my selection accediently actually and that was ELF Shimmering Facial Whip.
Before going into the details of this product let me tell you why i love it ?
cost efficient + good highlighter. you can find so many awsome highlighters but they are expensive it only cost u 1$ and i get it in 350 rs.
so lets begin its review

Size:
This tiny little blockbuster comes in small tube but according to its price it worth it .





Price:
As I previously wrote just 1 Dollar or PKR 350 from facebook page Nobody can so no to that! If you don’t own this yet, you are seriously missing out!


Pros:
A multipurpose, on-the-go whipped highlighter packed with Vitamin E to instantly brighten and soothe skin with no greasy after-feel. Ideal for using on your cheeks, lips, eyelids or anywhere you would like a radiant pop of shimmering color. It is available in five shades lilac petal, pink lemonade, persimmon, golden peach and spotlight. Long lasting. Cheaper then any other good highlighter.Looks very natural


Cons:
Whenever I think of its cons ,it's price clicked me . Well you need to be careful while applying it The consistency is thicker than any of the other options. Blending is bit The consistency is thicker than any of the other options..


Usage:
I'd recommend using a really light touch and blending it thoroughly, otherwise you'll end up with a really shiny-looking face. It's nice, though. It does the job and looks natural if you use it right. I like to use highlighters like this especially when I'm wearing foundation, to bring a little dimension back to my face. I'm not really into contouring with darker products, but highlighting is my jam. Especially on my nose and cheekbones. A very small quantity can work really well. i would not recommend to use it as a mixture with your foundation for all over the face.
remember highlighting is good and in fashion but if you over do it you will end up looking like having so much oily skin.




Swatch:









overall its a perfect and excellent product . one of my favorite thing in my vanity . totally love it

i would rate it 4.5 out of 5

Of course this above pic is describing about this tutorial but let me tell you this is going to be my most preferred hair style or hairstyle like this one , as in this eid it is again going to be hot or a mild weather so tied up hair is what i call "go for it" . And again braided hair styles are so totally on the floor ,totally in.What are you waiting for then read this pictorial tutorial , practise it once because its so simple again and make your self trendy on this eid :) 
I named it FAIRY TALE because i find it so DISNEY :p Frozen, Tangled, Rapunzel hahaha :) i hope you enjoy this tutorial . so lets get started :)

THINGS YOU NEED:
  • Hair pins 
  • rubber band
  • comb
  • Hair spray
  • Artificial or real tiny flowers ( recommended)
If you have natural wavy hair like me then you can start directly but if you have straight hair then curl it or just apply curling mouse to your wet hair let it dry and then start :) this hair style will come out best in wavy hair :) LET THE FAIRY TAIL START NOW:)

STEP 1:

Start with your hair down . leaving your bangs from front take a small strand of hair from side of your head close to the ear.

STEP 2:

Twist that strand and wrap it to the other side and secure it with hair pin.

STEP 3:


Again take small strand of hair from other side and then wrap it to the other side overlapping the previous one.
STEP 4 & 5:





Repeat the same previous process two more times , creating six strands crossing back and forth. 

STEP 6 :

Secure each strand with hair pins.

STEP 7 :

Take rest of your hair.

STEP 8:




Now, create a semi loose simple three strands braid in rest of your hair.( you can even create fish tail braid i need to keep it simple that's why i choose three strand braid) 

STEP 9:


loose it a bit more if you think its not loose enough to create this look

STEP 10:


if you have short bangs then keep them untied but if you have long bangs like me then take them fold them round , place them on your head and secure them :)

STEP 11:


SPRAY your hair , it is not optional but recommended for this look to keep it stay longer.

STEP 12:

Add some Flowers in it and there you go :) with beautiful and easy hair style :) 
suitable for prom look, welcome parties, fairy tale themes and for brides made :)

TREND ALERT... HALF/ MID/ KNUCKLE rings...




Hello ladies :)
Today i Have come up with a trend alert . this trend is not so common in Pakistan till now but Internationally it is and is getting more hype gradually. So What it is ?
       This trend is to make your hands look more pretty and funky  :) wearing thin, small and delicate rings above your knuckles is what we call HALF FINGER RINGS or MID FINGER RINGS. it is also a good way to recycle your old rings or those rings which do not fit to your fingers any more, don't worry wear it above your knuckle and be trendy . Although knuckle rings also have some different kind of looks like wire rings or wrap rings. Talking about my self i love it totally i have not recycled my rings though i specially went to the shop to have some rings to wear as mid finger rings. and the shocking part was that even shop keeper was unaware of this trend and he was like " woh konsi madam" ( what are these madam) :p i grab some of rings which fits on the top part of my fingers . I also had some adjustable rings so that i can wear them as normal and mid finger ring as well. You can try your lil sis rings as well :P this trend is not expensive as well i got them in 150 to 200 PKR each.
Well i have some designs also which i searched from Internet , i try to find those here but failed so now m gonna customised those designs from jewelry makers.and if succeeded then will let you know guys for sure. because on online shopping from other country they are so expensive. although some facebook pages are offering these rings but they are also not same as NYC street fashion as this trend has started from there and from some of the Hollywood rock bands.





THESE are those designs i will customised. because i couldn't get my hands on them here. so wait for it until i get them ready :) so u guys can order too in low prices :) if you want then do lemme know on Facebook page .
NAIL rings also come in this category which is again not so common here .
Sharing some of the pictures i get from internet and of my self too.
