Hi there!

Probably with the increasing number of mascaras in my stash, I am becoming more frequent in using them. I barely have a set of eye lashes and I try my best to avoid using mascaras fearing my barely there lashes might disappear too. Sometime back, I got the opportunity to try Oriflame's 5 in 1 wonder lash mascara and below is my take on it. 

Hi Beautiful!

Back in July 2016 I had the displeasure of ordering the Ignite Box. What is an Ignite Box? Ignite Box is another subscription service that has sadly popped up in Pakistan. The owner happens to live in England and ships stuff to Pakistan. Along with running an online shop for custom orders, she started a sub service as well. To be honest I liked the contents of the box but the customer service is downright shitty, which is why I have never opted for this box again. To know more about my experience with Ignite Box, read my post. 

Hi Beautiful!

Before I start of reviewing this book, I must mention, this book took me by surprise. I was expecting a book much similar to "Mrs. Funnybones" but fortunately, "The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad" turned out pretty different. This book comes out as a much better read and makes the author shine as a writer. It is in no way outstanding compared to the standard I had set for Mrs. Funnybones, however Twinkle's second book comes off as a whiff of fresh air. 

A collection of utterly magical stories that will leave you crying, laughing and wholly enchanted.

A gangly young girl transforms her village with a revolutionary idea. Sixty-eight-year-old Noni Appa finds herself drawn to a married man – ‘Why do people have to define relationships, underline each word till the paper gives way beneath,’ she wonders. Bablu Kewat becomes obsessed with sanitary napkins much to his family’s horror, and a young woman keeps checking the weather forecast as she meticulously plans each of her five weddings. Funny, observant and wise, this is storytelling at its most irresistible.

The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad

Good morning, it’s 6 a.m. and I am wide awake because the man of the house has decided that he needs to perform a series of complex manoeuvres that involve him balancing on his left elbow. When I fell asleep last night, there was a baby lying next to me. Her smelly diaper is still wedged on my head but aside from this rather damp clue, I can't seem to find her anywhere. I could ask my mother-in-law if she has seen the baby, but she may just tell me that I need to fast on alternate Mondays, and God will deliver the baby back to me . . . Full of wit and delicious observations, Mrs Funnybones captures the life of the modern Indian woman—a woman who organizes dinner each evening, even as she goes to work all day, who runs her own life but has to listen to her Mummyji, who worries about her weight and the state of the country. Based on Twinkle Khanna’s super-hit column, Mrs Funnybones marks the debut of one of our funniest, most original voices.

Hello Beautiful!

Since I am on a roll, so here I am with another Subscription service post. Read further to find my take on March's Glowybox.

Hello Beautiful!

Continuing my love for the subscription services, I came across February's Ipsy Glam Bag being sold at a Facebook store. I am not a die hard fan of Ipsy but I do believe that it provides access to brands which are not very known in Pakistan. The reason I opted for this month's Ipsy was solely the pouch. I love anything that is denim and this pouch being denim was something I wanted to get. Hence I ordered it and to know what came inside this bag, read my post further.
