Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Sparkling Palette Blog 36 Comments


After my Grand EIDI HAUL, I was "officially" not in need of anything plus I had a big dent in my wallet. BUT...yes but... who can control the temptations of a makeup addict like me??? I had few purchases in chunks, which I am going to share in this post. Wanna see my Grand Haul for September which made it a complete "Wallet-Suicide"??? To Reveal More Read More!!!
MAKEUP CRAVINGS!!!

On a bright shiny day I went to the D.Watson, Islamabad, cosmetics floor and jumped onto many makeup display counters, swatching and inquiring about prices. Trust me I was not in a mood to buy ANYTHING, just to know the shades of Maybelline's new Colour Sensational Vivid esp the "Shocking Coral". These swatches are a proof of my innocence:
Swatches for color selection
I lost my heart to Maybelline Vivid "Shocking Coral", but decided not to buy in haste. As I was about to leave my heart was crying that I didn't buy "a single thing", so to make my heart feel happy I took few Essence goodies... lolz. Only 3D Eyeshadow (I bought from Medi plus F-6) was on my wishlist the other two are random picks, as I loved the small pouch and wanted to try their lip pencils. Have a look what I got from Essence display counter:

Essence Haul
  • Essence Nail art/polish pouch = Pkr 150/-
  • Essence 3D Eyeshadow in Irresistible Caramel Cream = Pkr 490/-
  • Essence Lip pencil in Satin Mauve = Pkr 180/-
I came back but lost my heart on the Maybelline counter. All the time tried to hush!!! my heart but the pain was becoming unbearable. I looked up at my wallet and sigh!!! I said "sorry" and went to Shaheens at F-6, Islamabad. The price of Maybelline Vivid lipstick vary almost every where, online these are for Pkr 825/-, at D.Watson they are for Pkr 900, at Al-Fatah for Pkr 895/-. First I decided to get them online, but then I though that if I am not going to buy any imported cosmetics alone then what is need of paying courier and all that wait hassle. Decided to check at Shaheens, they have few shades for 895/- and few for 825/-, luckily "Shocking Coral" was for 825/- so picked it up along with my long awaited "MNY ColorShow by Colorama in Midnight Taupe". Have a look of my new lovelies:

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS!!!

Yes September also has a special celebration, it's the month for my Husband's Birthday. I prepared a lunch for Two and half :p my Hubby's Favourite"Home made Pizza" and my first time "Chocolate Brownie cupcakes", for which I copied the recipe of a fello blogger friend Amna Ahsan, they tasted yummy but as I baked them directly in cupcake liners they are a little geometrical in shape, lolz I won't call them shapeless. I ordered a present for him through Daraz.pk. How can it be possible that I don't pick anything for myself while shopping from Daraz.pk??? I picked a flip-flop from sale and back-in-stock OPI Sweet Things, finally got my hands on these lovely hand lotions:) Here is a collage of the birthday lunch and my picks from Daraz.pk, Have a LOOK:

Table for "Two and a half"
Haul from Daraz.pk

  • Fuchsia Flip-flops on Sale = Pkr 175/-
  • O.P.I Sweet Things = Pkr 990/-
  • Fashion Cafe Mix Cotton Shirt = won't mention price as its a gift :) 
SKIN CARE ESSENTIALS!!!

Winters Coming Baby!!! yes I can smell the chill in the air and my skin is also behaving as a bad-boy... lolz I am doing all to take care but yes proper cleansing routine is missing, so all I needed was an oil-based cleanser, a mild-est of the mild scrub, toner and facial puff. Due to my unplanned purchases based on temptations my wallet already committed suicide, so I seek the help of my hubby convincing him that I need all these to make me look fresh otherwise I will rot...lolz. I have Combination skin which tends to dryness in Winters therefor I picked the Cleanser and Toner for dry and sensitive skin, I knew in the changing weather these days it may not suite me but an oil-free scrub will combat that. Have a LOOK:

Skin care Haul
  • Nivea Soothing Toner = Pkr 550/-
  • Facial puff = Pkr 50/-
  • Nivea Cleansing Milk = Pkr 500/-
  • St. Ives Green Tea Scrub = Pkr 390/-
Below are my essential items I need for body cleansing and well being, this all comes along the grocery so NO BILL...lolz. Nair is definitely a company which is winning my heart for hair-removing needs, will review soon.

Monthly essentials and DORA
I know this is all but "not enough". I will shop once again when my wallet lives up soon now I want it to R.I.P for few days after the recent "Wallet-Suicide". I will pass the rest of the days singing...

"Wake me up... when September ends!!!"
