Essence Cosmetics In Pakistan.

I went to Naheed super market and discovered they have essence products..wow!!! I have never ever tired any of their stuff but came across alot of rave reviews about their products and I was glad to see that essence display has full collection of products,I don't think any item is missing(except skincare and latest editions).Prices are so affordable.They wont rob you of money like some other international brands in Pakistan.
UPDATE: skincare items are now available.

I swatched some of the products and tried to take the pictures but the lighting was too bad and the swatches showed up quite ugly.so if you are thinking of building your makeup collection and you don't have a lot of money, don't forget to visit essence.

essence products price ranges between Rs.150 to 700...and I've already decided o try a couple of items like french manicures tip guide,color&go quick drying nail polishes (these tiny funky colors are only for RS.200) and the smokey eye kit....I am so glad that there are now more affordable products in Pakistan for everyone to enjoy cosmetics.

Have you tried any of essence cosmetics...I bought a mascara  for the giveaway! you can zoom in the pictures to check out the prices.

MAC Blush In Desert Rose (swatch&review)

Hey everyone:) So this time its about a blush.....a pretty rosy pink blush from Mac.I really wanted to try a matte blush so I picked up this because its a prefect matte and only Mac makes perfectly matte blushes.I went to EBCO Karachi....well they only have a few blushes so had to order this one from www.just4girls.pk

Packaging: As is all MAC packaging this blush also comes in a black plastic pot with a clear lid and it contains 6g of product.

Texture,Coverage: Desert Rose is a Powder blush "Matte",very pigmented and smooth but not as smooth as sheertone blushes from Mac.Its in the permanent collection.
Price,Availability: Rs.3650 from  just for girls.pk HERE (for Pakistan)
                                  USD.20 check out the MAC website HERE
                                  UK.17.50 check out the MAC UK website HERE
prices mentioned above are approximate,it may vary depending where you live and buy this product.
My Thoughts:Desert Rose is a warm toned rosy pink color and it will suit almost any skin tone.A lot of you might think its a mauve color,apparently Mac is the only one who describe it as a soft reddish burgundy!! Desert rose is a medium pink incredibly pigmented blush,I just slightly dab my brush once and thats enough for both cheeks.... its a great every day color for all seasons and the warm tone of this blush adds a little bit of contour to my cheeks.this blush doesn't require retouching through out the day which is awesome and makes it perfect for office going ladies and anyone with oily skin.
I know MAC blushes are too pricey in Pakistan,and if you're wondering if its worth investing...Yes I definitely think its worth it!! The quality and pigmentation of all MAC blushes are amazing.I love them mostly because they are not overloaded with glitters and shimmer like most of the drugstore and high end blushes.  
I'd definitely repurchase this blush (probably after years because I have used this alot and it still looks untouched) and I'd recommend this.


I hope you enjoyed reading this review;) everyone has a MAC fav blush...whats your favorite?
