Hello Beautiful!

Time to unbox the February Boxycharm box. Man the dollar rates are killing me and so is the love for makeup, skin care and beauty items. Anyhow here is what I received in my February box. 

Hello Beautiful!

There was a time when I used to skip primer application. But now it has become a religious ritual for me every time while doing my makeup. I have quite a collection of primers, ranging from drugstore to high end. Beautify by Amna is a Pakistani brand. They stepped into the market some 2 years back and have been going strong. Reason for this is, their commitment and dedication towards delivery quality products which perform at high standards. I am all in support of local brands. Infact, I believe that we need more of our own brands. Who would understand our needs better than our own people. I am reviewing their porfade foundation primer today. Let's see how it has performed.

Hello Beautiful!

Today I bring you the unboxing of January's Boxycharm. My laziness knows no bounds and I am actually feeling shame to be posting this in the last month of this year. However, I can not say it enough times that I am obsessed with Boxycharm. Its a super value for money subscription box for a makeup junkie like me. I am so psyched to be subscribed to these.

Primers have become very popular in the beauty industry. There was a time when the term primer was unheard of but now makeup application can not begin without the use of a primer. Many among us still do not know the usability of primer or how it affects the overall makeup application. I tend to explain in detail how useful a primer can be in today's post. 

I have been using primers for some time now. I have had my fair share of good and worthless primers and I believe primers prove to be of great assistance in makeup application. Recently I had the opportunity to try out w7's prime magic camera ready face primer, one of the variants out of its primer range. For further details on the primer read the full post.
