Mica Bella Cosmetics - Mini Splurge

Hello fellow make up lovers,

I bought a few Mica Bella eyeshadow shimmer pots. As I mentioned in my previous Mica Bella post, these are multipurpose pots, you can even use them with clear mascara for coloured mascara and clear nail polish for coloured nail polish.
I got colours that I thought would be great for bridal looks, a gold, silver, maroon and a gorgeous shimmery pink (Shade #'s 10 (Tango), 102 (Sunrise), 49 (Sunshine), 24 (Tahiti) - Check the swatches below.

Style Stalker: The Pond's Bloggers/Journo's Event

Here are two outfits that really stood out for me at the Pond's event:

Asima Haq from Unilever is wearing a kameez by Saara & Natasha. I love these funky ethnic prints. This had little truck art rickshaws screen printed all over. I want one!! Check their facebook page for more pictures and for order enquiries: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Saara-Natasha/226351464145602

 Hani Taha - Fashion and Lifestyle journalist for The Express Tribune and blogger (http://hanitaha.wordpress.com/)  wore a very chic outfit. Charles and Keith pumps, Aldo faux snakeskin clutch, necklace and rings from stores in Manilla. Top/Dress: One by Ensemble.
Firsty, I love the white/black combo - it can never be done too many times over, and I love the leopard print detailing inside. Hani told me, nothing she was wearing cost over Rs. 2,500.. She certainly makes the outfit look like a million bucks though.

Event: Ponds Face Wash Launch/Bloggers/Journos Meet Up - PICS!!

Hello Readers,

Below are the long overdue images from the Pond's meet up!! What a fabulous event. The Pond's team arranged for cars to come pick us up and take us to Cafe Aylanto where we had a special menu for lunch. We then proceeded to the Ponds Beauty Centre to experience Pond's as a brand. I got a 'Red Velvet' facial, which I would highy recommend to everyone, and an eye treatment as well (since my eyes are so prone to bags). The specialists at Pond's examine your skin type prior to giving you a facial, and tell you what to do to maintain a fresh healthy look, and what Pond's products to use as well. I will definitely be going back for more facials and the eye treatment of course, which one has to go back every 2 weeks for. We then got our hair and make up done from Tony and Guy. My facial took ages so I didn't really get a chance to get my make up done... The evening concluded with personalized gift bags with a USB full of all the pictures the photographers had taken from the event (What a great idea!).

What I loved about this event was the attention to detail, every aspect was planned so well, and what tremendous product knowledge everyone had!! Such events are always such a pleasure to attend. Thank you Team Pond's!!

 Shahida Zia (Pond's Cosmetologist) had the most fabulous skin and excellent product knowledge.

What I wore: Camel coloured Zara zippered leggings, Forever 21 shirt, scarf from a market in Malaysia. Was feeling so fluish, I dragged myself to the event and I'm so glad I did.

Mica Bella Cosmetics

I met with the brand ambassador of Mica Bella Cosmetics in Pakistan. She was kind enough to bring over all the tester products to our make up class. Mica Bella Cosmetics are all mineral and are multipurpose products. The powder leaves a flawless effect on the skin and stays on despite washing the face. I also adored the eyeshadows, the pigments were shiny and perfect for bridal make up. I also loved the special edition brushes with the Ed Hardy-esque look.

I had 15 minutes to use the products and create a look.. check out the pictures below.
