October Haul!!!

Throughout the summers I have been using powder foundations to keep my skin matte, though without much success. But now winters are around the corner and for me it is time to switch to liquid foundations. Since long I had been thinking to buy a flat top kabuki brush for the flawless application of liquid foundations, but hefty price tags kept me from doing so. Finally, I made my mind to invest some money in theses beauty essentials. I searched through several online stores for this purpose and, to my surprise, during this search I came across some awesome brushes by color studio professional. I never knew about them before. These brushes saved me enough money that resulted in the recent haul :)
I got all this stuff from beautyarena.pk. I really appreciate the variety of products being offered at beautyarena.pk.
Here is what I got:


  1. Color Studio Professional Taklon Dome Powder Blush for 1050 PKR.
  2. Color Studio Professional Flat Top Kabuki Brush for 1250 PKR.
  3. Color Studio Professional Blush in 'Pixie Pink' for 750 PKR.
  4. Essence Quattro Eye Shadow in 'To die for 05' for 530 PKR.
  5. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm Electro in 'Oh Orange!' for 350 PKR.
Hope you like the haul. Please show some love by commenting below and by following my blog and my facebook page i.e. www.facebook.com/beautyepisodes

Milani Shadow Eyez12 Hr Wear Eyeshadow in '02 Brown Deluxe' Review, swatches & EOTD :)

Milani Shadow Eyez 12 Hr Wear Eyeshadow Pencils are available in 12 pretty colors. Below is how Milani describes this product:

One pencil, multiple eye-catching ways to use it. A shadow, liner and highlighter in one, it’s water-resistant and crease-proof – two stellar qualities in an eye makeup product! Sharpened to a fine point, it defines. Softly smudged, it adds color – 12 shades in all, from neutrals to brights. Swept under the brow bone in one of the paler hues, it catches the light. Clearly, this pencil is as versatile as it is beautiful.  

Today I will review Mialni Shadow Eyez 12 Hr Wear Eyeshadow in 'Brown Deluxe'.

The product description by Milani is so apt that I don't feel the need to add any more. 'Brown Deluxe' is a beautiful shimmery copper brown shade. This neutral shade can be used to create a variety of day as well as party looks. Stroke it simply as an eyeliner on the upper and the lower lid of the eye or use it as an eyeshadow, it looks great both ways....all depends upon your creativity. If you want to use it as an eyeshadow, smudge it onto the eyelid immediately after application as it tends to get firm on drying. It is crease-proof. Milani claims it to be water-resistant....yes, it is water-resistant but to some extent. The colour is not stubborn and goes off easily when washed. The formula is highly-pigmented and long-lasting too. I have tried to create two looks using this pencil. Here they are:

Look 1

Look 1

Look 2

Look 2
These eyeshadow pencils are easily available on just4girls.pk and beautyarena.pk for 950 PKR. You may also get it from www.milanicosmetics.com.pk.

Overall, there is nothing that I dislike about this product. It gets a 4/5.
