Hi Beauties!

This month has been very busy with so many meetups and events taking place in Lahore. One important meetup for which I have waited for years since I have started blogging would be Oriflame's. It makes me ecstatic to see that Oriflame has finally decided to collaborate with beauty bloggers and for this, they held a very high profile meetup session at Flatties Hotel. In my today's post I shall be sharing my meet and greet experience and the basket full of goodies I received as their kind gesture.

When you receive a beautiful invitation along with such heart felt generosity, it simply raises your expectations and excitement level. This is how I was invited for Oriflame's bloggers meetup. Who can refuse this?

Hi all!

Today another subscription service is under review for which I recently opted. This happens to be my first experience with this online store that too off Instagram. Without further ado lets see how this subscription service fares in comparison to others locally available. Is it really worth your money? 

I paid up for this service in September and I received the items in October. As such its September Boxy Glam which I received in October as the shipment came in this month. 

The items came in a black zipper bag. The bag is by Makeup Gallery and is made of smooth silk polyester fabric with the tag intact. I am considering the makeup bag as an additional items since most local services do not provide sturdy pouches. Inside the bag there was full sized Batiste dry shampoo in cherry, Tea tree cleanser and toner, Simple cleansing wipes, Primark lipstick in coral, Aromatherapy shower cap, Makeup revolution blush in old packaging and Super drug's fruit sorbet antioxidant peel off mask.  

It makes me so happy to see my own people progressing, especially, when someone from my own country comes up with a new business idea and it flourishes into something big. The famous Facebook shop owner by the name of The Brand Hub, sometime back launched her own makeup and skin care line by the name of Belle Peau. If you are a part of one of her Whatsapp group, then you would know all about the step by step developments of her line and the test and trial stages of her products. I am few of the lucky ones who got to try one of her face masks. Its Rahassoul Moroccan lava clay mask and product for review today.
