HAULS:

• Mostly I was sharing on my Social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
• Sometimes the packaging of purchase or the delay in getting order frustrated me so much that I dropped the idea of doing a full post
• Last year, and still, I am so much busy with family and personal life that even many of my scheduled posts are waiting in the que, and in this situation I mostly over-looked Haul posts and did some important post instead

Jan 2014:ELF makeup mist n set and Real Techniques Sam's Picks

 I started off the year by getting my hands on the much raved Sam's picks set by Real Techniques. It was out of stock and few FB stores were charging a heck of price for this. In all this fuss Beauty Hub, offered me a good price (PKR 4500/-)for it,I added long wanted ELF mist & set too. The sad part was that my order came in a plastic packet, glad nothing happened to my set but still it kinda broke my heart, as after spending approx 5000/- with a store one doesn't expect the things to be sent in just a plastic packet (which was torn during transition). Still no complains.

Feb 2014: MikyajyAnahilwa Lipstick #14 TARUT

In Feb last year I was blessed to visit the Holy city of Madina (during my Umrah) I didn't do much of makeup purchases due to time shortage, just visited MAC in Makkah Tower once. In Madinah I took a plunge between two prayer times and purchased this beauty Anahilwa Lipstick by Mikyajy in shade#14 TARUT for 19/- S.R.

Feb 2014: Bourjois Happy Light foundation

Last year I was on the look for finding my best and favourite foundations (the reason you'll see atleast 3 foundations in this post). I swatched this one in Scentsation, Islamabad,was quite impressed, then after reading quite a raving reviews I bought it from Shaheen Cosmetics F-6 Islamabad. Bourjois Happy Light Foundation in Rose Vanilla #51, for PKR 2350/-. It was good but unfortunately not for me, something was wrong either the undertone or setting it on, I gave it away!
