Bathroom Organization Tips!!


Ever walk into your own bathroom and wonder why does it not look as organized as your bedroom or due to less storage/space you were not able to organize it as well?

Well hopefully there 5 tips will help you and make it easier for you to organize (:

1) Declutter! first and foremost thing i recommend is to declutter. All those miles of makeup, bath and shower products in your bathroom takes up a lot of your space. Throw out all expired and old items and anything you haven't used in a while because chances are you will not use it again.

2) Get some organizers! Honestly you don't need to go all out and get several small organizers. Just get one small cabinet or shelf somewhere in your bathroom. Chances are you already have one. I have one right above my toilet and its honestly a life saver.

3) Organize according to your face, bath and shower products. This helps a lot as you know what to open up when you are reaching for a certain product. I keep all my face products (face wash, exfoliator, mask, serum etc) in the one thats most easily reachable since i need these products the most.

4) If you have some space at the bottom of your vanity, getting some boxes and organizing your cleaning supplies underneath is helpful so when you clean your bathroom everything is available at one place and all these cleaning products are away from your face/body products.

5) This is optional but gives a really nice look to your bathroom. If you have a mirror without a border (some bathrooms do) Get a flower garland or fairy lights or anything you want and put it around it, it will give a nice touch to your bathroom.

Hope you lovelies liked it, see you soon! <3

Favourite fall/winter lipsticks!


Salam lovelies! hope you are all doing well. Although its late, today I decided to do a post about some of my favourite lipsticks for fall and winter. So lets get into it <3


                                             left to right: Bordeaux, matte glam, berry rich
So top three of my favorites are:
  1. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in  #124, Bordeaux: This one is such a gorgeous dark maroon-burgundy-ish color that looks absolutely amazing if you are going for an edgy look. It normally retails for $6.99 in Canada.


    2. Milani Lipstick in #65 Matte Glam: Normally i would not go for a purple lipstick, but THIS              right here is BAE <3 It is such a pretty and rich purple that it absulutely changed my opinion              on purple lipsticks. I personally think it would look great on a glow-tanned summer skin. It                 normally retails for $6.99 in Canada.

    3. Rimmel Moisture Renew  in #450 Berry Rich: Another gorgeous color! I absolutely love this           color but more than that I love its creamy texture that is so moisturing. In winter when my lips             get so dry and most lipsticks magnify the cracks in your lips, this one covers them nicely and               provides moisture. Price: $5.99 in Canada.

Favourite Bath and Body Works Products!

Salam lovelies <3 Today as I was thinking about some blog posts ideas, my hands felt dried so I reached for my dresser and picked up a lotion to moisturize my dry hands and an idea came to me right then: MY FAVOURITE BATH & BODY WORKS PRODUCTS!! LOL

You can find their products in store or here

So as most of us already know bath and body works is a popular brand that carries a range of body and bath related products such as lotions, shower gels, scrubs, perfumes, mists with a GAZILLION different scents! Its a store where you enter and you feel like you just drowned (in a good way lol)  in amazing scents and do not want to leave the store lol

So here are some of my absolute favs. Let me know which ones are your favourite products.

A Thousand Wishes fragrance mist

This is definitely a frangrance mist that I reach for everytime I want some good scent  on myself lol. It smells like a nice women perfume but not too strong. Something that people can associate with you if you wear it alot.

sweet summer kiss cooling gel lotion

This is a product that i absulutely love in the summer time but sadly I think they discontinued it :/ I got in summer in the year 2014 and did not see it in the summer of 2015. Which is so sad! It smells fresh like a cool summer day. The scent is a mixture of blushing jasmine, apricot nectar and driftwood musk as it says on the tube. It also gives you a nice cooling sensation.

Cucumber melon body lotion

Talk about something you want to reach for every time after taking a shower. This body lotion is just that. It smells of fresh cucumber and melon and is perfect to moisturize your body with after taking a shower.

fresh sparkling snow hand cream

This is such a good moisturizing hand cream for winter. My hands dry out so much during winter and this is just the hand cream for me. Along with its moisturizing amazing-ness (lol) it smells AHH-MAZING too! it smells of fresh snow, vanilla and pine needles.

Winter candy apple body mist and lotion

Saving the best and my most favourite scent till the end. Say hello to my baby scent! 

Winter candy apple is from their winter collection that i first saw in 2014 and thankfully they had it again in 2015. This smells amazing and I use it the most out of all the products. It smells of a sweet candy apple and this stuff is my holy grail. If anything I would really want you guys to get your hands on or at least try is this winter candy apple scent from bath and body works.

All of these products vary in prices. Ranging from $10 - $18 in Canadian Currency.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you guys liked it!

Christine Lipsticks Review and Swatches!




Salam Ladies, today I decided to do a mini review and swatches on these lipsticks by Christine Cosmetics. IF any of you are from Pakistan, you know what I am talking about ;) This is a brand which is not easily available in Canada or USA (sad eh) . However, it is a very popular cosmetic line available in Pakistan (like MAC in Canada or USA). Every time my mom visits Pakistan I may forget other things, but I always tell her to get me cosmetics from this brand. And since my mom just made a trip back home.....well you know it lol! Today I am only going to review their lipsticks only! just a heads up that one of the lipsticks do not have a label and thats why I have forgotten the colour number :/ sorry about that!

So they all range from 100Rs/ to 150Rs/ which equals about $1-$2 Canadian Dollars (WOW right!) They have a wide range of colors to choose from. Their pigmentation is great and although matte, they are not drying on the lips! I will show you all the swatches on lips and hand below.




Top to Bottom: #503, #151, (its a dar pink without a number), #106

#151, a gorgeous brown nude

#106, a berry shad


the pink one

Mini Review: The Selection Series By Kiera Cass


Salam Ladies! Today I decided to do a mini review on one of the most popular book series by Kiera Cass, "The Selection Series". If you guys are book hoarders like me and basically survive on books than you know what I am talking about. 

So a bit of a synopsis. This is a dystopian novel, set in the future in a fictional country called Illea (futuristic America) with several states and the royalty residing in the capital called "Angeles". There is a cast system, 1 (royalty) and 8th (almost homeless) (basically assigning people to a specific cast randomly and assigning a specific profession to each cast). The Selection is a competition and a way to find the future queen of the country. Basically a random selection of common girls to enter in the selection of the future queen as the queen will be one of the commoners living in Illea. 35 girls are chosen to compete for Prince Maxon's heart and become the Queen. While all girls are praying to be selected, America Singer (female protagonist) have to participate against her will because she is already in love.

I am absolutely in love with this series. Firstly because it is totally my type with all the pretty dresses,  royalty, castles and a handsome prince (omg Maxon :') ). And Secondly because it is beautifully written. There are some parts to the book that will just stay because they are worded so beautifully that they just make you go Awwwwhhh! Such as this:


 How beautifully written <3! The story line is amazing but somewhat predicting. However, there re several twists and turns that are completely unexpected. It is like most dystopian novels where most of the population is poor and the rich capital has its own evil darkness (nothing too huge) which people are not really aware of. Overall a great read, with gorgeous dresses!

Favourite drugstore blushed/nude Lipsticks!


Salam Ladies! As my first blog post, I wanted to do a small review and swatches of my favourtie drugstore blushed/nude lipsticks. All of these lipsticks and gorgeous and definitely my most reached products when I want a blushed nude color on my lips. So here they are:


Kate Moss by Rimmel London in number 17, Maybelline matte lipstick in lust for blush, Rimmel creamy lipstick in nude in the city, Rimmel Airy Fairy and Nyx Liquid Suede in tea and cookies.



Top to Bottom: Rimmel nude in the city, Rimmel Airy Fairy, Kate Moss by Rimmel in number 17, Nyx Liquid Suede and Maybelline Matte Lipstick in lust for blush.

Rimmel Nude in the City ($6.49): This Lipstick in such a beautiful nude shade with a rich creamy texture and good pigmentation. I absolutely love this lipstick line by rimmel because of its creamy satin texture. This color looks absolutely beautiful on lips. However, it is a bit lighter than what it looks like in this picture.

Rimmel Airy Fairy ($6.49): This lipstick as some of you may have already heard, a dupe for MAC creme cup lipstick. It is such a gorgeous colour and perfect to use if you have a smokey eye makeup. 

Kate Moss by Rimmel #17 ($7): I love both lipstick lines by kate moss (red and black). This lipstick is part of the black packaging line and it has been my everyday lipstick since the day I got it. It is also a color suitable for so many skin tones. Its creamy so its drying for the lips either.

NYX Liquid Suede in tea and cookies ($10): Since NYX cosmetics opened up a store in Square one mall in Canada, I have been dying to get my hands on these. Online nyx store was out of stock for so long and I personally wanted to see them before i buy them. This liquid lipstick is so amazing on the lips. This liquid suede lipsticks made me fall in love with liquid lipsticks in general. It is nicely pigmented and does not dry out too quickly, allowing you time to work with it on your lips. It dries down to a matte finish and I am definitely a sucker for matte lipsticks.

Maybelline Lust for Blush ($8): I got this lipstick on sale for $6 but its original price is CAN$8. It a beautiful rosy pink color that is completely matte and highly pigmented. It is another color that is going to look gorgeous on many different skin tones.

So this is all lovelies, hope you liked it and it gave you some idea about how these lipsticks are. Thanks for stopping by.

Love, Urooba <3
