REVIEW

This is a gorgeous bright red color with a very creamy texture. The consistency is pretty amazing considering the price and I love the fruity scent of it. It tastes like a combo of strawberries and cherries *yum*. The gloss easily lasts for around 3 hours which is pretty good considering I usually eat up my glosses :P it is not super shiny or sticky which is another plus. The packaging is handy though I could do away with the annoying cap, it always ends up ruining up the gloss while putting the cap on. Honestly I love this shade.


Pros

Pigmented and creamy
Fruity scent
Is not sticky
Lasts for 3 hrs
Cheap

Cons

Packaging could be better
Wont like it if you are not in to scented gloss
Wont like it if you are not a bright shade person

NOTD: Medora of London nail enamel in 434

This poor thing had been lying in my closet since ages so i decided to put it out of its misery and do a nail post for a change. I will be reviewing Medora of London in 434 today. So lets see what its all about.

ABOUT

With brands “Medora”, “Delycia” and “Diplomat” being one of the best sellers in their respective categories, Medora of London has become a household name today.

Having a network of more than 200 distributors, the company is able to serve its consumers all over Pakistan.

REVIEW





The shade that I have applied is 434 of 16ml, its a very girly pink colour with a very decent consistency. I applied double coats although the color is fairly well enough so that you can make do with one single coat as well. It mostly depends upon your personal preference of how much you want to build up the color. The nail enamel dries pretty quick, I applied on one hand and when I came back to re do my fingers, the enamel had dried. Pretty quick I must say. I had this on for two days and there was no chipping off either. The applicator is decent and there is no staining. The only thing that bothered me was the strong smell but that is only temporary so not much of a big deal. Lastly it is priced less than a dollar so its super cheap considering the quality of it. 

Pros

No chipping
Dries fast
No stain
Lareg variety to choose from
Easily available
Super cheap
Easy to remove

Cons

Strong smell

Book Review: The Six Sacred Stones

I will be burning this book right after Im done writing this review. As long as I can remember, it never took me this long to finish any book but this one did it for me, I would open this book, read a page and then snap it shut because it required an intellectual level of a teaspoon for someone to have to actually comprehend what Matthew Reilly is trying to explain to his readers. SO much God Damned repetition of the same stuff,over and over and over again. Not to forget the absurdity of the nicknames that you will come across in this book for instance who names someone Pooh bear, Princess, Wizard, Huntsman. In a particular scene where these so called heroes are going o rescue Wizard, the only image that kept popping in my head was a bunch of puppies going to rescue a guy named Wizard who evidently cant perform magic to save his life. To top it off, exclamation like Wham, boom, blast, whiff, whoosh, what the hell am I reading, a comic strip? There are twins who instantly give u an impression of the Weasleys twins(Harry Potter reference). this book could have been finished in around 200 pages but I have to give it to Matthew Reilly, this guy has a talent, Oh yeah, how to unnecessary prolong a book. The hero who has been out of action since 18 months can be seen fleeing from life threatening situations without even a single scratch. I get it, its fiction but seriously What the hell am I reading? never thats all I have to say, never am I going to pick up anything with Matthew Reilly written on it.
