[REVIEW] Stageline Professional X-FIX Lips

The liquid lipstick craze has taken over the makeup world, every brand nowadays whether its high-end or drugstore are releasing their own version of the liquid to matte formula. Stageline Professional is no exception, these recently launched in the market with a total of 6 shades. These are available at Just4Girls.pk if you are interested in purchasing them online. 
Introducing new longer stay lipstick range with matt finish, "X-Fix Lips" which fixates on your lips for upto 12+ hours without letting its actual color fade away.

  • Shade 03 - Cherry - Medium Pink
  • Shade 05 - Chesnut - True Brown


Swatches:
I had to swatch these on my lips with a lip balm (my lips look like the Sahara Desert otherwise), my lips generally have a lot of fine lines that becomes more prominent with liquid matte lipsticks. You can notice on my hand swatch that the thin formula sinks into every little texture on the skin so that doesn't translate well on my lips. The way I wear these comfortably is by layering it on top of a creamy lipstick just so there is a barrier between my lips and the liquid formula. 

03 Cherry is a beautiful medium pink, it swatches really bold on my hand but when mixed with a lip balm it does look a little lighter. It's a classic pink that everyone should have. 
05 Chesnut is a true brown with a peachy tone, this is LOVE. I hate nudes that wash out my complexion so this is ideal for ladies with medium to deep skintones. Its that perfect brown without any rose tone. 
Review:
These remind me so much of the ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick formula, it's thin watery consistency dries very quickly. The formula is VERY opaque, I just needed one swipe to achieve full on color, it applies evenly and really beautifully. The flat wand allows you to define your lip line easily. The formula does dry down and sinks into fine lines on the lips, with the flat matte texture I did need to wear it with a lip balm just to make my lips look nice.

 These have a fantastic wear time. Even when applied over lipstick it doesn't budge or flake off. I do recommend exfoliating your lips and using a lip balm if you have textured lips like mine. I've worn these out to dinner and it barely broke down with eating and drinking. Both shades do slightly stain the lips. 

 Overall I absolutely love these to wear on top of lipsticks to make it last all day. I will definitely be picking up another shade from the range. 

Price: Rs. 995

Jordana Cosmetics Haul + Swatches

When a really affordable brand launches in Pakistan, you have to try out most of the top rated products. The first product that I ever tried from Jordana was the Best Lash Extreme Mascara (the cult favorite) and I absolutely love it! When I placed this order the mascara was out of stock but I definitely need to get my hands on it again. I ended up hauling a few of their 12hr Made To Last Eyeshadow Pencils and a Blush in Blushing Rose.
12hr Made To Last Eyeshadow Pencils
I've tried the eyeliner version of this long-lasting formula and I loved it! Very smooth and creamy and dries to a budge-proof formula! The Eyeshadow Pencils come in 8 shades and are very similar to the Milani ones but so much cheaper! Milani and Jordana are made from the same factory in the states so the formula is almost the same. These make a great base for shadows as well as liner for the inner waterline.

  • Endless Emerald is a forest green with a shimmer finish.
  • Prolong Purple is a royal purple with a shimmer finish.
  • Stay-On Black is a pitch black with a matte finish.

Price: 442rs
Endless Emerald, Stay-On Black, Prolong Purple Swatch.
Powder Blush
I've been wanting a plummy rose toned blush for ages, Blushing Rose is now one of my most reached for blushes. Its smooth and very pigmented but is easily blended onto the cheeks. Since I have oily skin most blushes don't last that long on me without a setting spray, this one stays put for a good 6 hours!

 Price: 561rs.

Haul:
As everyone knows who's been to the Inglot store at Ocean Mall, their gel liners and Duraline are always always out of stock. Needless to say these items were on my wishlist for a long time! I picked up the Black Gel Liner in #77 and the Teal Gel Liner in #87. The gel liners are priced at 1300rs and the Duraline is for 950rs. I have to say, the bright shades from the liners are a MUST have. Very pigmented and shows up really bright on the eyes.

Style Brunch with Tangle Teezer + InvisiBobble!

I know I'm not the only one who's the worst at making hair styles! So when Tangle Teezer and Invisibobble host an event, one has to attend it. The event was held at Amethyst by Roohi Salon, Shumaila from Beauty Redefine and Jee Bee from The Glam World attended the event with me! I had never heard of Invisibobble before the event so seeing the demo on how to make a hair style using ONLY the Invisibobble was very informative. 

 The girl's doing the demo were all trained by the InvisiBobble team from Germany via Skype, so all of the hairstyles had a unique flair to them that can suit medium to longer length hair.

Dolls for Demo

The oh-so-pretty Shumaila modeling for a medium-length hairstyle using the Invisibobble. Since her hair was already curled, the hair style turned out really cute!

And lastly since I was the only one in the audience with longer length hair, the hair stylist made a cute high pony using only the InvisiBobbbl! It's amazing how using only 1 InvisiBobble made the hair style stay in place without sliding down as regular hair bands do!


I had an absolute wonderful time at the event! I learned a lot about using InvisiBobble and easy hairstyles to use with it. Of course the lovely team at Super Brands International gave us bloggers a goodie bag filled with Tangle Teezers, InvisiBobble and my favorite Yankee Candle!

All of the products are available at Amethyst by Roohi Salon! For more information on InvisiBobble and Tangle Teezer Pakistan check out their Facebook Pages!

Gem Stone Jewlery Pieces from OMG Jewelz

If you're looking for quality jewelry pieces without breaking the bank, I've found just the place! As an online shopping junkie, it's hard to figure out which stores really are worth spending money over. 

 OMG Jewelz is a relatively new online shop dedicated to trendy jewelry pieces that came under my radar recently. I was a bit hesitant to review jewlery since as many of you know I frequently shop from AliExpress for inexpensive jewelry, but once I got these in the mail I don't think I will ever buy cheap jewlery again! Let's take a closer look these pieces.

STONE LION HEAD NECKLACE
I'm not huge with necklaces but I must say, this piece is stunning! I wish there was a way to SHOW how heavy this chain is. It's not flimsy at all, I can really compare this to branded pieces since the finishing is smooth and very shiny. Since the chain is quite heavy in weight, the hooks are just as sturdy. The pendant paired with the multicolored gems and stones really makes a trendy piece. This definitely calls for a minimal outfit when wearing this out!

Price: Rs. 1,050.00

CONTRACTED GEM BRACELET
I'm in love with this bracelet, just like the necklace this piece has a stunning high quality finish and weight to it. I really like the color combo in this piece since turquoise, green and blue just looks classy. The hook on this bracelet is sturdy and isn't bendable at all. Even the gems are secured so there isn't a chance of them falling out. There is a matching Gem necklace that goes with the bracelet which is just as classy.

Price Rs. 750.00
After trying out these 2 pieces I'm definitely going to be placing an order with them soon! The site is very easy to browse around and there are multiple photos of each item. If you're planning on ordering, rest assure that all of the pieces will be packaged securely in bubble wrap. 

If you're going to purchase something from OMG Jewelz, you can save 5% off your order using the code "sidran" upon checkout to save a little money. The site does provide free cash on delivery across Pakistan and they ship worldwide at a flat rate shipping charge of $5.
