Huge ELF Haul!

Hello Girls,

I am so excited to share my e.l.f haul with you all today! A friend of mine was coming from America, so I ordered a bunch of stuff. I am totally amazed with the value for money and quality you get from e.l.f essential and studio lines. So be prepared for a lot of e.l.f reviews =) 

Take a look at the pictures below.

E.O.T.D- Lustrous Dark Eyes

Hello Girls,

The look I have created today is a Lustrous Dark Eye. I have used black gel eye liner to create a strong crease. Then gradually blended it with pale gold eye shadow. I think its quite dramatic yet wearable. Take a look.

UNE All In One Mascara [Review]

UNE All In One Mascara:

"Perfect lash definition

The mascara that maximises your lashes' potential: achieve volume, length, curl and a clump-free finish."

Review:

First off, the packaging of this mascara is really simple. Its clean white with a simple logo on it. I prefer my mascara packaging to be brightly colored but i guess i'm used to the Maybelline and Rimmel ones.
The mascara is made up of all natural ingredients, which I love! I'm obsessed with Mineral makeup, anything which is mineral based, chemical free. This makeup brand is UNE. A 98 -100% all natural makeup range that offers gorgeous colours and a wide range of products and tools. This range is a product of Bourjois but is a stand alone sister company that doesn't reflect the Bourjois brand.

Deepika Padukone Inspired Smokey Eye from Cocktail

Hello Ladies,

Last week I went to watch the latest Hindi movie 'Cocktail'. It was a refreshing movie about friends, love and heartbreak. During the whole movie I was smitten by Deepika Padukone's casual yet trendy look. She sports a lovely hairstyle of highlights and a voluminousness crown area. The makeup was flawlessly done. She had luminous and bronzed skin with smoky eyes and light coral lipstick. 

Today I have created a smoky eye look inspired from the picture above. Take a look:

Jewelry Haul - Accessorize

Hello Girls,
I went to Dolmen City Mall at Clifton today and luckily there was a 70% sale at Accessorize. So obviously I just had to take advantage of it :)  Here are a few things I got. Take a look.

E.O.T.D - Cool Breeze

Hey everyone!
The weather here in Karachi has been pleasant lately and that inspired me to create a look using cool colors, i.e. blue and purple.

I used the old tape method to create a stark line along the outer corner. On the lid and lower lash line I used a bright blue shimmer shadow by Etude and on the crease I used the color "Gossip" from the Sigma Flare palette. Then, I highlighted the inner corner and the brow bone with "Publicize".

I applied some fake eyelashes from Artmatic and two coats of Rimmel Volume Flash mascara and finished off with lining my eyes with Color Studio Knockout Marker.

I think the blue and the purple compliment each other perfectly. I hope you like the look. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below! (:

Take care,
Rida xx

DIY: Thread Wrapped Love Necklace

Recently, I was going through fashion DIY blogs and I found a pretty neat tutorial on how to make this adorable necklace.
This necklace is from Anthropologie and costs $48, but I'm pretty sure you can make one yourself using basic craft supplies!

And here's what I came up with.
I opted for a leaf charm instead of the tussle, i think this looks more cute:
