Life of a broke student.

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. Since a levels, when I used to see teachers sipping tea, I used to wish there was tea or coffee available for students as well. The best part about I

Buying skin care products from Sephora or the body shop can be a little bit too expensive, some people prefer diys or home remedies, while others prefer using products. Most of us are usually confused where to buy products of skin care from in Pakistan, since most of cheap beauty products tend to have a negative impact on skin, especially those related to skin care. Few months back, mom found a shop where all kinds of skin care products are available, at low rates. I decided to give few products a review. This isn’t promotion of Saeed ghani, but an honest daily use or skin care product I got from Saeed ghani.   1.      Facewash with kheera The packaging claims that this face wash will make your skin glow, and also acts as a cleanser, while the shop keeper claimed this face wash also treats acne. This facewash consists of cucumber   Description: The face wash is in green colour with gel like consistency, with a horrible scent of cucumber. After rubbing thoroughly the fa

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. Being a broke student, it’s hard to afford numerous lipsticks of colourpop since you can’t settle for one shade, as all of them are attractive, plus suitable for every skin tone. The way to get all colours you desire, in low price is to buy first copy of colourpop. What we don’t know is most online pages sell copy of colourpop claiming its original. 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.   Packaging: They came in white boxes quite similar to original colourpop, the packaging and details on bottles were exact same. Although, the details

Farsa Ali rose gold elixir is all over internet and is claimed to have numerous uses, from being used as a base for make up with no side effects. 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
