Eid-E-Ghadir Mubarik -18th Zilhajj

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Wednesday, November 24, 2010 11 comments
I dont know if i have any shia readers but i always do a post about eids, new years and anything and everything so this is the time when  I wish heartedly congrats to all momineen and mominaat on this blissful occasion.  

The 18th of Dhul-hijjah is a very important day in the calendar of the followers of the Ahlul-Bayt, (A.S.).








If you want to know what is eid Ghadder, read below

On 18th Zilhijjah of the year 10 A.H. (10 March 632 CE) ,after completing the last pilgrimage ,the Holy Prophet(pbuh) along with around 100,000 Muslims reached a place called 'Ghadir-e-khumm' near Mecca. The following verse was revealed :Quran 5:67] O Messenger! deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving people.
On receiving the above verse, the Holy Prophet stopped at that very place & delivered a speech an extract of which is :-[....It seems the time has approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call. I am leaving for you two precious things and if you adhere to them both, you will never go astray after me. They are the Book of Allah and my Progeny, that is my Ahlul Bayt. The two shall never separate from each other until they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise)." Then the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in an attempt to remind Muslims of his own authority over them said: " Do I not have more right over the believers than what they have over themselves? " Muslims answered unanimously " Yes, O' Messenger of God ". This served as a stepping stone for the announcement of his hier and vicegerent. The Holy Prophet(pbuh) held out the hand of Ali(as) and said: " For whoever I am his Leader (mawla), 'Ali is his Leader (mawla)." The Holy Prophet then continued to say: " O' God, love those who love him, and be hostile to those who are hostile to him."] ..Click here for Complete Ghadir Sermon(Khutba)
This day is also known as 'Ahad e-Mahood' in the heavens & as 'Meethaq-e-Maakoodh' on the earth

 L’Oréal Paris, the world leaders in cosmetics, extends its expertise within their acclaimed make-up portfolio by introducing their latest innovation in volumizing mascara,

New Volume Million Lashes Mascara – Black.



New Volume Million Lashes Mascara is worn by various top international celebrities which includes the likes of Evangeline Lilly of the award-winning television series LOST and Eva Longoria who plays the role of Gabrielle Solis in the comedy-drama series, Desperate Housewives, which is one of my favorite dramas.

The elastomeric applicator is ultra flexible with both long and short bristles to coat each lash evenly from root to tip. While the excess wiper removes excess mascara and leaves the brush coated with just the right amount of formula to achieve maxed up volume with no overload and no clumps.


Speaking about the launch of the New Volume Million Lashes Mascara, Brand Manager for L’Oréal Paris in Pakistan, Zainab Pasha has said, “Eyes are expressive and it’s an important feature of female beauty. New Volume Million Lashes Mascara gives women a chance to really play up their eyes and makes them feel like a millionaire of lashes”.

Where to buy : L’Oréal Paris New Volume Million Lashes Mascara is now available at all L’Oréal Paris counters across the country.

Eid -Ul -Adha is one of the special festivals celebrated by Muslims irrespective of the fact, that wherever a Muslim person is, the festival of Eid -Ul -Adha is celebrated with lot of enthusiasm. This year it is falling on 17th November, 2010.


Muslims celebrate the festival of Eid -Ul –Adha in remembrance of prophet Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his son Ishmael to God. On Eid -Ul –Adha Muslims sacrifice their domestic animals, like goat, sheep, cow, camel etc. This sacrifice of animals is made by Muslims to pay a tribute to prophet Abraham, as he was ready to sacrifice his son but God gave him a Sheep to sacrifice.

Eid -Ul –Adha celebrations occur after the Hajj and the festival of Eid -Ul –Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of the last month of Islamic year, Duhl- Hijja. Eid -Ul –Adha is known through several names across the world and this festival of sacrifice is celebrated for several days in some areas of the country. It is seen that Muslims celebrate this festival with great excitement no matter where they are.

Escada - Absolutely Me perfume for women

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Monday, November 08, 2010 5 comments
I got a sample of this perfume today , I’ve never really used Escada perfumes so i was kinda excited and nervous BUT i am so loving this right now that i want to get a full size.I usually never  review a perfume . But i love buying them and always on hunt for the perfect"me" scent. I guess every girl in this world loves a perfume.
I will check out Alfatah lahore, and see if its available there otherwise i will ask "someone" to bring it for from abroad. Its a new addition to my never ending perfume wish list.


 Escada Absolutely Me is inspired by Rose macaron blended with a smooth raspberry sauce, to create a scent that is intensely fresh and addictively edible.

  
Top: Raspberry, Fruit Accords
Middle: Pink Rose Macaron
Bottom: Vanilla

Absolutely Me opens with fresh fruit accords and raspberries. The heart is filed with delicate aroma of pink Rose Macaron, followed by soft vanilla in the base. 
The bottle was created as its predecessors with the logo of 2 letters E facing each other, decorated with crystals. The bottle is transparent and the liquid color is delicate purple. 

The outer packaging is a dark, also decorated with glittering crystals. The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 75ml EDT, accompanied by body care collection. 

I love this perfume, its definatly sweet but not overly sweet which usually gets me nausea-istic . I usually like woody fragrances.


Absolutely Me... the line-up:
  • EDP   30ml
  • EDP   50ml
  • EDP   75ml
  • Deo spray         150ml
  • Shower Gel       200ml

This new edition will arrive in a glittering 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette. Matching scent body products include shower gel and body lotion
An alluring and vibrant scent inspired by the spirit of today's joyful, spontaneous and fabulous woman who lives out her glamorous fantasies and makes them irresistibly real. Whether dancing barefoot at a party or walking her dog in the park in a couture dress, whatever she does, she does it in style.

Make a Statement with a Red Pout - Ellis Faas Milky Lips L201

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Thursday, November 04, 2010 11 comments
Fair skinned girls and those that are 'cold tones', try a bright red with just a touch of blue, while those with olive or yellow undertones and 'warm tones' should try red lip color with just a hint of orange or gold. Darker blood reds and brick tones work for those with a deeper complexion and reds with a touch of berry is flattering for all. 
A red, red lipstick also makes teeth appear whiter and smiles brighter. Smoothing over the red with a shiny gloss, or lining your lips with a perfect match lip liner makes your red pout perfect and kissable. 
Ready to give this bold beauty trend a try? Check out Ellis Faas Milky lips Lips in L 201


 
  
For ELLIS RED - L201, Ellis was able to reproduce the colour that Snow White's mother wished for the lips of her child: blood-red.

Ellis Faas Milky lips & creamy lips

For a more fluid and translucent appearance, try Milky Lips. For a subtle look
with just a trace of colour, either apply a feather-light layer all over the lips or
apply Milky Lips to the middle of the lips and fade it with the fingertips.
ELLIS RED can be used to achieve a classic image, a sexy look or any number of styles.


 The applicator is a brush and is most suitable for this texture, for ease of applying and creating the best effect.

Givenchy Spring 2011 Collection: Naivement Couture

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Wednesday, November 03, 2010 1 comments





If the world’s first woman were to be born today in the primeval garden, she would no doubt have a different vision of paradise. Nature would be tamed, its energy restrained, creating an ambiance in which she would more likely cut down the Tree of Knowledge than water it. But springtime always manages to awaken desires and dispel gloomy ideas. The impulse to seek gratification is driven by a sixth sense, making us eager for any and all sorts of sensations. A breath of pure air to be discovered or devised. The Must-Have, Blush Gelée, is a rich elixir of youth, illuminating a self-assured candour with fresh energy. NAÏVEMENT COUTURE (“naively couture”) is an autosuggestion of happiness.
