2012 has been a great year, seriously an amazing one, what
with me getting married and moving to Germany. As far as my blog is concerned I
gained a lot of genuine readers and experimented with many different beauty
products. So, after trying all that and more, it’s time for that post that
reveals my BEST OF 2012.
Review & Swatches: Catrice Lip Tint in Are You Red-y 030
CATRICE CLAIMS
Thanks to its ultra-light, water-based formula, you hardly feel the Liquid Lip Tint on your lips – it’s cool and refreshing and has a real wow-effect, too: the more you apply it, the more intense the results! Also ideal for application underneath lipstick or lipgloss. Available in three wonderful red shades.
PRICE & AVAILABILITY
€3.99 / PKR 750 (approx.)
Catrice Cosmetics are available at Beauty Arena, Just4girls and some leading superstores of Pakistan. In Germany, you can buy them from Galeria Kaufhof, DM and Rossmann.
THE BASICS
Catrice Lip Tint comes in a 5ml glass-like tube with a doe-foot applicator. It is available in three shades of red. I bought the shade Are You Red-y.

Glossybox December 2012 - Bejeweled Edition
For this Christmas month, Glossybox has come with this silver boxed Bejeweled Edition. I am totally loving the glamorous packaging. I decided to go ahead with a 3-month subscription of Glossybox.de to see whether it's worth the money or not. There are many who are very happy with their subscription and then there are more who are not so happy. I thought I'd give it a try myself.

France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden,
Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. Glossybox Germany is available for €15 per month.

Review: Firmoo Ivory Sunglasses & Giveaway

Firmoo,
Review,
Sunglasses
When I first ordered this pair of sunglasses, I wasn’t
even sure I would like them this madly. I am very particular about my
sunglasses because there are very seldom that suit my face shape. I make a
point to try them out before buying. Ordering sunglasses online is just not my
thing, doesn't tell you the make, the finish or the suitability of the shades. But while ordering on Firmoo, their Virtual Try-On System is a real life-saver. It helps put your choice of shades on different models or you can try it on on your own picture.
Weekly Highlight: Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia

Giorgio Armani,
Perfume,
Weekly Highlight
Perfume is the last thing I can
review. I am so bad with describing smells but still I sum this perfume in
three words: fresh, aquatic and seductive. I don’t know if it is the bottle or
the aquatic smell, it does remind me of ocean. The scent is not overpowering. I
actually find it very unique, not similar to any other. I have been wearing it a lot this week and I totally lovee how it makes me feel, so glam. The fragrance surprisingly
lasts a long time on me. The notes found in its fragrance are of mint, brown sugar,
lemon, jasmine, peony, pink pepper, cedar wood and labdanum.
3.4oz bottle is available for $82.00
on Sephora and Giorgio Armani Beauty.
Have you tried this perfume?

Basic Makeup Kit for Brides-to-be

The Top List
Going through that all recently,
I know how nerve-wracking all the wedding preps can be. And makeup is one of
those things we all spend days deciding upon. We want to look perfect an all
the post-wedding parties, a glowing new bride and yet don’t want to spend all
on makeup when there’s lots of other stuff to do.
Also many of us who have recently
stepped into the makeup world tend to get lost amongst the endless
possibilities. We want everything but still wonder do we really need it.
I have been thinking about doing
this post ever since I got over my wedding and settling craziness. Being a
beauty blogger it was easy for me to decide what to invest in and what to wear.
But for everybody it isn’t as it wasn’t for me in the beginning.
So I am bringing you this very
simple guide of products that should be in every bride’s basic makeup kit. This makeup kit guide will work for any beginner too who is confused over what to buy.
