As the mercury is rising day by day, every woman is indulging in shopping of latest lawn designs. We also jumped on the band wagon as soon as we started searching chic designs for summer wardrobe.

Our search for a decent lawn ended when we came across a trusted clothing brand Bashir Ahmad Textiles. For us, it was an unfamiliar name because we never used anything clothing from it. 

Honestly speaking its designs, prints and color combinations instantly attracted us. So, today's review is all about BAT brand and we are really thankful to this lovely brand for those beautiful prints.

First of all, let's see what the brand has to offer to its customers.

The Brand Claims:

Having an experience of 55 years in textile industry, the brand Bashir Ahmad aims to have a vibrant and energetic bond with their esteemed clients by offering them the sagacious trends, competitive niche and product perfection quality.

Sensational Designs:

Going through the whole album of 60 sensational designs and stylish looks of Azra Lawn Collection by Bashir Ahmad, it would be really difficult for any woman to select few printed suits, as all designs are unique and in good color combinations.

The Black and White 

This suit is from Azra Lawn Volume 1 - 2016 collection. It is a printed three piece suit in classy black and white color combo. The over all unstitched fabric is 8 Meter which includes 3 Meter shirt, 2.5 Meter Trouser and 2.5 Meter Dupatta. 

It has a plain trouser paired with a printed shirt and dupatta. The sleeves are in black color with white border, where as the dupatta has a whitish background with a similar border.

We briefed our tailor to stitch it as per the brand's style. However to enhance the overall look, we added a red lace to the both ends of dupatta. It really complimented the red neckline design.

The Bright Red

This unstitched red suit is also from Azra Lawn volume 1 - 2016 and includes 3 Meter shirt, 2.5 Meter Trouser and 2.5 Meter Dupatta. The color combination of red with light yellowish tone is very refreshing.

 The overall look further enhanced by its greenish printed border. The neckline is already designed in complimentary printed colors which has an embroidered look. So, it doesn't need to be further decorated with any lace.

The Decent Grey

Just like others, it is also a three piece suit of 7.5 Meters fabric which includes 2.5 Meter shirt, 2.5 Meter trouser, 2.5 Meter Dupatta.

It has a dark grey trouser with a printed shirt piece and dupatta. The shirt piece has no printed neckline or border. You can design it as per your own style and comfort.

Verdict:

At the end of the day, we loved the fabric quality we got for this price range. Moreover, the fast color is another plus point. There were no bad results after shrinking the fabric.

In our case, there was no difference in original fabric color and online photographs. Each suit was nicely packed in a transparent plastic bag with a design photo for styling and stitching purpose.

We ordered our lawn suits online via brand's official website and received them in 3 - 4 days; means very efficient service by the brand.

So, from now onwards, we have included this Faisalabad based brand "Bashir Ahmad Textiles" in our list of favorite trusted brands for its super fabric quality and reasonable price.

Price Range:

A single unstitched suit is priced at Rs 1250 and Rs 1175. All lawn suits are comprised of a shirt, trouser and dupatta.


Rating

We would love to rate it straight 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Review - Make Up Academy MUA LOLLY Blush

.

Photo: Oh, Lady Mania!

Hello everyone, how are things at your end? 

We (both sisters) are really obsessed with MUA cosmetics these days and frankly speaking, in next few weeks we will definitely share more product reviews of this brand with you all. 

Few days ago, we shared a review of MUA Candy floss blush with you beauties. Today, we will again writing a new review about Make Up Academy blush.

This time, we have selected the MUA blusher LOLLY.  So, without wasting any further time, let's see how this shade differs from other blushers.

Photo: Oh, Lady Mania!

The Brand Claims:

Make Up Academy (MUA) Blusher is easy to use. Just apply across the apples of the cheek and up to the brow bone to create a soft beautiful contour.

Ingredients:

It contains more or less six different ingredients such as Mica, Talc, Paraffinum Liquidum, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol. 

Photo: Oh, Lady Mania!

Packaging:

The Lolly blush also comes in a small sleek compact with a flip top transparent lid that protects the inner rectangular pan completely. Its 2.4g pressed powder is smartly packed in a single small pack. 

The tidy packaging is pretty easy to carry it in your small clutch or handbag. This is surely a positive thing about it. 

My Verdict:

The MUA Lolly blush is in soft orangish peach shade. It has a slight touch of shimmer in it which is not very visible. So, if you don't like to wear a shiny shimmery thing on your cheeks, you don't have to worry about it, because this blusher is pretty wearable for its light subtle tone and the shimmer is almost negligible in its appearance.

Photo: Oh, Lady Mania!

The best thing about Lolly is its property of staying natural without giving too much artificial pigmented look to your cheeks. It easily matches and blends with any kind of foundation to give you a very fresh look during both day and night.

Due to its super smooth texture, lolly gives you a fine satin appearance with a little bit dash of shimmer without showing the fine lines. The blush is for everyone who wants to wear a peachy shade as it nearly suits all skin tones.

Photo: Oh, Lady Mania!

It stays on for straight 3 to 4 hours. The staying power is not very favorable but again the amount you have paid for it is enough to give you a nice textured blush that will make you happy at the end of the day.

My Rating:

We would love to buy it again for its best results and affordable price. So the rating of MUA blush will be 4/5 stars. 

Availability:

MUA blusher is easily available in Pakistan.

We bought MUA products from Just4Girls.

Well, all you (woman) need is just a single weapon to defeat enemy and conquer the whole world. That most dangerous sword is none other than..... 

Let's put it in these words;

"Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world.."

Now a days this sword of women comes in different shades, shapes and varieties to make it more lethal - for instance from nudes to sparkling colors and from matt to gloss. 

What will be your pick from lot of lipstick varieties to conquer the world? :D

Hello everyone, hope all of you are in good health :)

Today there will be something about makeup. We both sisters were looking for a pinkish shade blusher. We checked from highly priced to low priced blusher; some were reasonably priced but the pigment was not satisfactory for us. During the blush-search we came across a very economical and attractive shade, it was by none other than Make Up Academy (MUA).

So, today we are going to share our experience of Make Up Academy MUA Blusher Candyfloss with all of you. 

Let's check out what are our thoughts about it.

The Brand Claims:

Available in different pigmented shades, Make Up Academy MUA Blusher is easy to use. Just apply across the apples of the cheek and up to the brow bone to create a soft beautiful contour.

Ingredients:

It contains more or less six different ingredients such as Mica, Talc, Paraffinum Liquidum, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol.

Packaging:

The Candyfloss blusher comes in a small sleek compact. The flip top transparent lid secures the rectangular pan compactly. It contains nearly 2.4g pressed powder in a single pack. Due to fine slim small packaging, it is very easy to carry MUA blusher in your regular handbag or a small vanity bag.

My Verdict:

The MUA Candyfloss blush is a rose-pink shade with splashes of shimmer. Although the word shimmer alerts many women who are fan of matt finish, but the shimmer in this blusher does not make cheeks go all shiny. Like its name, it only adds tints of pinkish color with some dashes of light shimmer. 

When applied over a matt finished foundation, it gives a soft and lustrous look. It blends pretty smoothly due to its velvety and non-streaky texture.  It means MUA blusher is a perfect choice during high humidity summer time.

The blusher’s staying power is nearly 3 to 5 hours. Considering the staying power and the fine finish, Candyfloss is a wonderful choice for not only day time but also for evening parties. 

The rosy pinkish Candyfloss compliments all skin tones. The intensity of pigment totally depends on your soft and hard sweeps.

International Women's Day 2016

.

Photo: Web

The eighth day of March has been acknowledged as International Women’s Day globally. This day echoes women’s development in all walks of life all the way through history.

Throughout the World, women are playing their part for the progress of social, economic, cultural and political attainments. We, as women of modern age, have ample reasons to celebrate this Women’s Day. However, the improvement regarding gender equality has decelerated in many areas in recent times.

In 2014, The World Economic Forum anticipated it would take until 2095 to attain worldwide gender equality. In 2015, it was estimated that an obstruction in the contemptuous stride of improvement meant the gender gap wouldn't be achieved completely until 2133. Its pretty alarming for all of us. 

Now the question is how we can celebrate International Women's Day this year?

The answer is very simple. Let’s stand for gender equality by "Pledging For Parity!"

Every person including all men and women can vow to take a solid step to support gender equality/parity speedily. Just do a simple thing - support women and young girls to accomplish their goals, raise your voice for women’s respect and value in every walk of life, cultivate more wide-ranging and accommodating values, eradicate gender based workplace unfairness and low pays.

Last but not least, lets talk about domestic violence and women trafficking. Stand together against every discrimination.

With such mind-set we can easily speed up the gender parity.

 Happy International ‪‎Women's Day‬ To All OF YOU!
