DIY Be- You- tiful frame.

Hello beauties!
Its been a while since I did a DIY post but I was so lazy in the past few days that I did not want to try anything but then one day during Ramazan I saw a DIY wall frame made with glitter somewhere on pinterest and I was like I need to try this as soon as possible.

I made a few amendments in the original design as I didn't have all the items needed but I liked how the DIY turned out at the end so here I am sharing my tutorial with you.

Things used:

An empty photo frame

Blank white sheet cut according to the size of frame.

Blank sheet (any color of your choice, I used turquoise to match the theme of my room).

UHU all purpose adhesive (or any glue)

Glitter (any color)

Pen with golden ink.

A pair of Scissors to cut the paper.

Pencil

Scale

Method:
I wrote the words Be- You- tiful on a white sheet in the way I wanted them on my frame.

Then I traced the words on the turquoise paper sheet and wrote Be and TIFUL with the gloden pen.

Then I wrote the word YOU with the UHU tube and sprinkled the glitter over it and then let it dry

After its completely dry I put the sheet in the frame and its done.

I hope you like this DIY its super fun and easy to make.

That's it for today I'll be back soon till then take care..

Misslyn Luminous Makeup- Review and Swatches

Hello beauties!

I'm back with another product review and this time it is a foundation.
One day in the last month I had all the time in the world so I started checking out some products from misslyn's counter, I have been seeing this counter at the store for a long time but never bought anything but that day I bought this luminuos makeup foundation and now here i am sharing with you my experience with this product.
Misslyn is a relatively new brand in Pakistan. I have read reviews about its blushes and lipsticks on some blogs but its foundation or other face makeup products are not much talked about so here I am sharing my experience... Read on to find out did this foundation impress me....

Brand's claims:
SILKY FOUNDATION WITH LIGHT-REFLECTING PIGMENTS
THIS SILKY FOUNDATION IS FOSKINPARTICULARLY LUMINOUS COMPLEXION. THE SOFT TEXTURE GLIDES SMOOTHLY OVER THE SKIN, SETTLING ON IT LIKE A DELICATE VEIL OF LIGHT. THANKS TO THE LIGHT-REFLECTING PIGMENTS, THIS PLEASANT-TO-WEAR FOUNDATION PROVIDES THE COMPLEXION WITH INSTANT VITALITY AND MAKES THE SIGNS OF TIREDNESS AND STRESS DISAPPEAR IN MOMENTS. IT IMPROVES THE SKIN’S NATURAL RADIANCE – AND YOUR IRRESISTIBLE ATTRACTION! THE SKIN GLOWS WITH ENERGY AND FRESHNESS, AND LOOKS SMOOTH AND PERFECT. THE VARIABLE COVERAGE MEANS THAT ANY IRREGULARITIES IN THE SKIN TEXTURE CAN RELIABLY BE COVERED. SQUALANE MAINTAINS THE SKIN’S MOISTURE LEVEL AND HAS A SMOOTHING EFFECT. VITAMIN E HELPS TO FIGHT NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES. SKIN COMPATIBILITY DERMATOLOGICALLY APPROVED. SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Starting with the packaging: 
It comes in a light brown color plastic bottle with a nozzle like opening. The cap shuts tightly but with this kind of packaging there's always a risk of squeezing out excess product so I think liquid foundations should come in a bottle with a pump. Also, the bottle can only stand upside down so all the product comes down towards the nozzle and if you are not careful while opening it will create a mess (the opening is small but still there's a risk). 

This foundation is available in 8 different shades. The lady at the counter helped me chose the shade which is shade 4 and is called cream it has neutral undertones neither too pink nor too yellow which is perfect for me.

 Misslyn's luminous makeup is a liquid foundation. Because of the name luminous I was expecting it to be dewy but it has a matte finish. It gives a light to medium coverage and can be built up to an extent but you should not get too far with building up layers else it will start looking cakey. 
When I first applied this foundation on my face I found it a little tacky I don't know how to explain this, I felt like it is getting dry very fast in some areas but in others it is still wet but I loved the finish it gave after it's completely set. I apply it in dots all over my face and then blend one dot at a time in small buffing motion with a kabuki brush.
It gives a matte but slightly luminuos finish at the same time. I do not feel any excess oil around my nose for upto 3-4 hours which is great. It stays intact on my skin for upto 4-5 hours and even longer if I touch it up with a compact powder. Also, this foundation does not feel heavy on the skin so I think it is perfect for everyday wear.

This foundation is not very moisturizing. If I do not use moisturizer underneath, the dry patches around my mouth become even more visible so you need to moisturize your face properly before applying this foundation.
This foundation is available online and on leading makeup stores in karachi for Rs.970/-.
I am using this foundation alot lately and I am quite happy with it. I would recommend this to everyone who is looking for a daily wear foundation. Just make sure that you do not apply a lot of product in one go rather just use a little amount first and then build it up if you need and do not forget to moisturize your face.
That's it for today. 
I'll be back soon till then take care and tell me in the comments if you have used any products from missliyn? what do you think about them?...

DIY Room Decor- Switchboard Decor

Hello beauties!

Today I am going to share with you a switch board décor DIY. A few months back I decided to redecorate my room and at that time all I used to do was searching for room décor ideas. I saw this DIY on Pinterest and immediately decided to do it but then I got busy and all my room renovation plans got delayed. Now this weekend I finally decided to resume my room décor project and started with decorating the switchboards in my room.

 Actually I am sharing not one but two DIY’sJ.

I decorated two switchboards in my room; first with a simple printed card that I cut from an old calendar and the other one with glitter.

First:

Things needed:

For this I just needed an old calendar with a picture or some print and some glue.

Directions:

1-      I measured the board with a scale and cut the old calendar equal to the size of the board.

2-      Then with a blade I made a hole on that calendar sheet equal to the size of switch/button.

3-      Then I Just pasted the sheet on the switch board with the glue.

4-      And the board is ready.

Second:

Things needed:

For this I needed some glitter and glue. I bought these bottles of glitter from a stationery shop years ago for some crafts but never used them and I also had this UHU glue at home.

Directions:

Its better if you remove the board from the wall and put it on a smooth surface but I did not know how to get it off the wall, I tried but the screws were too stubborn so I gave up and started working while the board was still on the wall.

 For details about how I did this DIY read on the steps:

1-      I just took a small amount of glitter out of the bottle and put it on a piece of paper so I do not need to open and close the bottle again and again.

2-      Then I Applied UHU on a small area of the board with one of my fingers.

3-      Then with another clean finger I pressed some glitter lightly over the area on which I applied glue.

4-      I repeat it on the rest of the board till whole board is covered with glitter.

5-      And the board is ready.

Aren’t these DIY’s really simple and easy to do? What do you think about these?

That’s it for today. I hope you liked this post.

I’ll be back soon till then take care.. bubye J
