The thing that I was most excited about in university, in my first semester, was food. I have pallet open to international food, since I grew up eating Italian, French, Mexican or Saudi cuisine, so my expectations from continental food were high, since I am aware of what most of the foods taste like. I don’t usually get time to eat at IoBM, since I have continuous classes, these are few food I tried this semester and thought to review them. 1. Cardamom Tea If I would want an ultimate life time supply of anything, it would be lipsticks and tea. Tea for me is what coffee is like to any foreign student, I consume three to four cups of tea, daily, to function properly. Although, I am choosy when it comes to the flavor of tea. I love that mild sweet, milky flavor, if the tea is too bitter or too strong it’s a big no for me.

What’s the best part of living in Pakistan, you get a copy for every high-end brand. In use, colourpop is cheap and adored by every youtuber and person, since it’s cheap, vibrant, smooth, and has amazing and unique range of colors. In Pakistan, with all the shipping tax colourpop lipsticks are expensive, each cost around 1000 rupees, that is $10.

I decided to give try to first copy of colourpop. The colours I ordered were Sundae and bad habit, and both cost me around 500 rupees.

This elixir keeps skin young and helps makeup stay on for long. This serum treats dark circles, pimples, wrinkles and doesn’t leaves skin refreshed and smooth. Not a single beauty blogger or YouTuber has reviewed negative opinions or comments about Farsa Ali’s elixir. This serum is like a solution for all skin problems as it acts in the dermis layer nourishing it, while the moisturizers and cream only nourishes the epidermis layer which is above the dermis layer. After reading all the positive reviews and the numerous benefits about it, I was convinced to buy the elixir. But after looking at the official website, the serum costs around 54 dollars, and the worst part is that it isn’t easily available in Pakistan. As a broke student, one would get disheartened looking at the price and walk away, I did the same. After few days, I got an idea
