Faryal Mehmood says, “Happy Trolling” While Sharing Her Bold and Beautiful Clicks

Pakistanis love moral policing; whether it is on the streets or on the internet. We consider giving our unsolicited opinions to everyone, irrespective of the fact that no one really needs it. Sadly, it is the female actors that mostly become victim of trolling. Just scroll through any female artists’ picture and you will be amazed to see how much filth they get to see on their accounts on daily basis. The latest actor to face bashing online is Faryal Mehmood.

The Aap Ke Liye famed actress is multitalented and loves sharing glimpses of her activities on social media. Whether it is her gym sessions or singing capabilities, Faryal Mehmood makes sure she shares it all with her fans.

Renowned for her acting skills in Laal Ishq, Mehmood is mostly seen on screen as a simple girl. However, in reality, she is a fashionista who is breaking the internet with her stunning looks and transformations. She likes to keep it casual and does not mind going bold with her pictures.

Her latest pictures are from a shoot where Mehmood has beautifully donned a backless top. She posted the pictures with caption, “This is for the social media trolls. Hoping this platform provides you that moment of importance you needed to assure your self-righteousness… Happy Trolling!”

Seems like Faryal was absolutely right about her haters, see the comments here

Though we have entered 2021 but still some people are living in the Stoneage. These are the same people who think it is necessary for them to poke their nose in everything they see. To those people; please, calm down, the world is better off without your unsolicited opinions on others’ lives.

These Skin Care Tips you should Follow during Winter Season

Winter brings with it dull and dry skin as it takes away all the moisture. Thanks to some easy winter care tips that are guaranteed to make your skin look healthy and glowing despite the harsh weather.

Stay Hydrated

Water intake is considerably less in winter due to the cold outside. However, one must remember that our body is still losing water in different ways and we must rehydrate for it to function properly. Low humidity is one of the biggest reasons for dull skin. Try sipping water throughout the day to retain that moisture. You can also use hot beverages and seasonal fruits like berries and cherries to compensate for your water intake.

Quick Showers

Hot showers seem like a blessing in winters but they are extremely damaging for your skin. Not only do they dehydrate the skin, they also deprive it of the natural oils. The best solution is to use lukewarm water and keeping your showers short.

Use Moisturizer

As soon as you wash your face, hands or even take a shower, use an oil-based moisturizer to keep your skin healthy and glowing all day long.

Use Sunscreens

Sunscreens are not for summer only; they are equally important in winter too. When gathering your gears to go out, like cloves, cap and sunglasses, do not, in any case, forget your sunscreen because UV rays are still there

Night Time Routine

When you are about to give your body a good rest for 7-8 hours, remember your skin too. A good moisturizer and essential oils can do wonders. Just do not do it occasionally, make it a habit and you will wake up with soft and supple skin each day.

Your feet and hands, too are part of your body. Please do take care of them and moisturize them along with your face.

What are your favourite skin care tips that you live by?

5 Winter Colours You Will See Everywhere This Season

We are in the middle of a pandemic. The lockdowns are there and so are SOPs that must be followed. However, there is one thing that no one of us can miss out on and that is fashion, specifically colours. They have an impact on our personality and can affect our moods, too.

Here is a roundup of 5 colours that will make you look relatable this winter.

Shimmery Silver

Silver has always been a style statement. To make it look classy and sophisticated, use a shimmery shade with muted tones.

All Shades of Red

Red is undoubtedly one of the most favourite colours for winters because of its warmth. Burgundy, Cherry Red, Wine and Blood Red are some of the shades that look divine however you carry them.

Fresh Celery

Add a touch of freshness to your winter wardrobe with this green-yellowish shade. Wear it with a dress, denim or skirt, it will not disappoint you

Classic Black

Good news for those who love this colour, BLACK is not going anywhere this season, either. Try it out in different shaddes, cuts and designs to look stylish effortlessly.

Holographic Shades

Holographic shades were the highlights of most runways for Autumn/Winter 2020. They were paired with greys, whites and even pastels to give a more of a clean look. Nothing busy or overworked. Create your own style statement by experimenting with these shades.

Winter wardrobes are fun because of the layers you get to wear, unlike summer where you barely want to dress up. Make the most of this season and include some, few or all of these colours in your collection and you will feel like a fashionista every day!

Which is that one colour you feel like your winter wardrobe is incomplete without?
