Masarrat Misbah- Perfect Wear eyeliner

Hi all,

A very long awaited post, of the product I actually bought in very hurry :P, When I heard about Masarrat misbah makeup lounge I was so desperately wanted to try anything from the collection, but as I was full of cosmetics I couldn’t decide what to try. In meanwhile my Yves Saint Laurent eyeliner start drying up and I got an idea to try its eyeliner.

I regularly visit deplix Bahadarabad branch so it was not a hurdle for me to make this purchase.

Lets start with its packaging.

I got the product in paper bag which has MM logo on it nothing else, while the liner have too many text adjusted on a small area 😀 the liner is very small in quantity and its of black plastic packaging which I don’t like.

Apart from the packaging when I open it my first impression was not good, since I was comparing it with my Yves Saint Laurent baby doll eye liner. Later on when I used it I was really amazed by its ease of use and its awesome result. the brush was slightly thick than my other liners but its just too easy to get any look.

I never found winged liner to be that easy to apply 😀

The staying power was amazing, plus how easily it can be use is just make it perfect for everyday use.

Revlon- SUPER LUSTROUS™ LIPSTICK

Hi all,

Today my post is consist of three lipsticks I have from Revlon color Lustrous collection. Before jumping to the details I would like to drag your attention towards the Revlon official site. The site is so amazing for choosing perfect lip color online. It have all skin tones (possibly) wearing the shade you are selecting so you can have a better idea of how the shade will suits you.

As the name defines, the lipsticks are glossy and a bit shimmery. Personally I am matte lover but the shades were so tempting that I cant stopped myself from buying.

It has wide range of colors to choose from. I picked Red Lacquer, Fuchsia fusion, and Love that Pink.

image

Let’s starts with the packaging. The packaging is very attractive for me. The golden and black combination makes it so royal and very eye tempting.

The lid had a glass on the top, so you don’t need to open the lid to see the shade, which is a good point.

The texture of the product is very creamy, easily glides on lips, smooth application and great color pay off. I must say that it keeps my lips hydrating too and I don’t feel chapped lips.

It didn’t settled into the fine lines and gives very smooth look.

image
Red Lacquer

 

The best pick from the collection and which is by the way my every day use product is Red lacquer. When I ordered first two, I was reluctant to buy Red Lacquer, because of the shade it seems in picture, and unfortunately I didn’t check its website and missed this amazing shade. The shade is the best match for my skin tone I have found so far. It is a very safe coral color to start with, in fact more on the orange side. I really love this shade as it brightens my face and my mood too 😀 The color is so refreshing that with minimal makeup and even no makeup I feel so bright.

image
Fuchsia Fusion

Second one in my list is Fuchsia fusion. This shade is bright Fuchsia plum and perfectly suitable for night outs. However the color seems so bright for day time indoor occasions.

The color goes good with almost every skin tone as it is again very safe plum fuchsia. In fact if you are afraid of bright colors this would be a good pick to start with.

With a single coat or little tapped with tissue the colors goes even better for the beginner of bright colors.

image
Love that Pink

The third from the list is Love that pink. This is a very tricky color for my skin tone. It is very bright pink, I must say it is more close to shocking pink. The color looks so vibrant and my face complexion goes dull with it. Personally I am not afraid of bright shades but this shade really makes me look dull if not handles properly.

I used this lip shade with estee lauder tea rose (check review here) and the shade turned out to be perfect for my skin tone.

 

image
Swatches from top to bottom Red Lacquer, Fuchsia fusion, Love that pink

 

My final verdict for the quality is its worth having, the staying power is good, even after 6 hours of application it leaves a tinted shade behind.

Variety of shades available and its economical too.

If you’re a fond of glossy lipsticks then this would be the best to start with.

Good Factor:

  • Beautiful shades
  • Good pigmentation
  • Reasonable price
  • Good staying power of 4-5 hours with eating
  • Creamy texture
  • Nice shimmer
  • Nice packaging

 

Sad Factor:

  • I couldn’t found any

Jo’s Organic Beauty- Turmeric Mix and Whitening and Rejuvenating Soap

Hi beauty bees

Hope you all are enjoying the chilling breeze. My today post is about my newest obsession, Its “Turmeric Mix” by “Jo’s Organic Beauty”.

When I ordered the product I was not sure of how awesome the experience will turn out, the page was new for me and the product as well. I  asked the page owner to suggest me any product for my skin problem and she suggested me this, and this turns out to be my everyday use product 😀

IMG_20141031_074941391

When I received my parcel including Turmeric Mix, Oatmeal and Green tea mask and Whitening and Rejuvenating soap, my first impression was “Gosh!! what I had done with my money”. The products came in shoppers with the card at the back which clearly defines the usage of the product along with its benefits. My disappointment increases as I thought its plain Gram flour “Besan”  mixed with turmeric

IMG_20141031_075102307

 

When I pour out the product I found some red particles in it, proceeding further I add rose water to make a paste BTW milk and yogurt can also be used as mention on the card but my initial try was with rose water, I saw some other ingredients too. Although I can’t judge all of them but it includes saffron along with turmeric and gram flour.

IMG_20141031_075251055

Knowing the fact that it includes other ingredients as well actually reduce my disappointment :D. Application was easy and smooth and when I wash my face after 20 minutes, the results were so awesome, the glow, the softness everything was just so perfect. It gives the perfect radiance to face, leaving skin smooth and clear behind. Its one of the products I am completely satisfied with and keep stocking too 😀 I haven’t ended my one packet and I have 2 more in stock 😀

The second purchase was again on the suggestion of the owner, as per the owner it gives the best result with turmeric mix for a glowing skin.

IMG_20141118_095201877

The soap comes in pair, and its not so appealing to eyes :-/ neither the soap nor the packing 😀 but thats not the point if the product works so great. I ordered it in summers and again the ingredients shown on it make me confuse either to use it or not. Since my skin is prone to acne, I need to keep my skin oil free in summers, and it contains glycerine. I didn’t use it for some time and then thought to give it a try. The foams are of blackish brown color, and it makes fairly good foams which I personally like. When  I wash my face I felt my skin very smooth and soft but didn’t felt any of the oily thing on my skin, which is a plus point. The soap and mask is with me from last 2 months and now the season has changed and its winter, with dryness ofcourse but surprisingly washing my face with this soap keeps my skin hydrated and I don’t feel any sign of dryness.

It was my first experience of purchasing any herbal product online and I must say it turned out so pleasant, for me I simply can’t stop using these two especially.

The turmeric mix cost me PKR-/600 and soap pair cost me PKR-/300

Himalaya Herbals- Almond and Cucumber Peel Off Mask

Hi Beauty Bees

Hope you all are good. Today the product I have for you people is my first pick from the category, I never used any kind of peel off mask before and this was just an accident pick. I went to buy Himalaya neem face pack and ends up with buying this 😀

Well I am always concern about how this peeling effect will leave your skin since it can be very painful if you have hairs on skin like I have. But I decided to try this one.

 

IMG_20141103_175306383

The packaging is quite simple, following the same theme of himalaya herbals. When I open the lid I found the hole is very big, but the product is little sticky so I found it   OK.

IMG_20141103_175411705

 

Now the product, the product have sticky, honey kind of texture which is hard to swipe on face so be careful don’t put so many product at one place thinking to spread it, the product is so sticky and hard to spread.

Well I first apply it on, I can literally figure out the ingredients it have :D, well I don’t find any thing bad about the product except the fact that it is peel off mask and peeling is painful for an hairy girl like me.

The after effect of the mask is good, it leaves the skin soft and fresh. More clear, pores especially nose area seems clearer.

My final verdicts for the product is yes its good to use, but I cant use it since I have facial hairs and it seriously made me cry when I peeled it off.

Happy Factor:

Easily available

Reasonable

Don’t have any odour

Leave skin clearer

Bad Factor:

Peeling is painful

Don’t forget to share your comments with me, which himalaya product you have used and how was your experience !!

 

Nina Lotia- A Visit to Remember

So finding a right place to get pampered from is always my biggest concerns, and I really felt this missing component in beauty blog world. Trying out different salons is cost and time taken activity, so this can be a good idea if one share the experience and other learn from it 😀

So lets start with my experience at Nina Lotia salon and spa.

Lets start with the infrastructure of the building

 

 

IMG_20141030_184759013

The building was nice, and well decorated. There were 4 floors, well actually I liked the idea of distributing floors with respect to different services they offered, the more interesting part was the payment also done on respective floor counters.

 

IMG_20141030_184804683

Ok so now the services I avail from them

  • Regular meni,pedi
  • Nail colour application
  • Hair wash
  • Hair protein treatment
  • Hair cut
  • Face polish  and
  • Waxing

When I entered the premises I was welcomed by the receptionist and was guided ahed towards the first floor. I got hair wash and hair cut from first floor. The hair wash was fairly good and I actually enjoyed but hair cut was a total disaster :(. I actually was concerned about my length and the solution she proposed was total flop, I ended up looking like a cartoon 😦 The front section of my hairs have no connection with the rest of my hairs *sigh*

After having this flop, I moved ahead for the waxing, since I am kinda lazy person, I usually pilled up bunch of services and then go for them at once. Well when I entered the waxing room, I noticed it was very untidy, although she cleaned up the area but I wasn’t satisfied. The gown she gave me to wear was not a fresh piece which also low down my morale. After having my wax done, I Moved for the meni pedi.

The girl was about to start the services and she actually had cut the nails and suddenly a “Regular Customer” came in, and guess what she left me as I was and moved to that lady which was actually very insulting. Any how I waited for some one to attend me but 3 girls were attended that “Regular Customer” and I was in queue, on complaining she immediately arrange a girl for my meni and one for he pedicure.


IMG_20141030_182943671

 

IMG_20141030_182947298

 

The pedicure was really good, I enjoyed the massage, the nail filing, shaping, and nail colour application but again menicure was total opposite. The girl completely destroyed my nails shape, then another girl came to fix the dent which was not fixable for one hand. The menicure was disaster just from the start, the massage was done with very least heart, the nail colour application was also very rough.

 

IMG_20141030_204335948

Then I moved to my face polish, which was actually very good. I enjoyed the service but the noise coming from the outside of room was so disturbing that it didn’t allow me to relax, for me the environment counts as much as the services, and I must say the environment was very noisy. The staff was loud, the customers were loud, I was unable to understand how people relax during facials.

Then the hair protein came, I simply love the hair massage she gave me during that. The shoulder massage was also a plus point. After that I get a blow dry and it was again average.

If I would summarise my whole trip I would say its not a place for a person like me who request to slow down the music right after entering any salon. Well for me a soothing environment counts as much as the services. The services again were not so extra ordinary in fact most of the services were just average or even below average.

Whats your favourite place to get pampered from, do share your thoughts. Your comments means alot to me.

Sephora cream lip stain- Endless Pink

 

Hi everyone,

Hope you all doing good, today post is a pick from my recent hauls. I am kind of a girl who love lip stains and gloss more than lipsticks because of the applicators, but I surely don’t like that gloss all the time. So my search was to have a matte finish with that applicator and luckily it got ended so well when I found this beauty.

It offers good quantity of shades to choose from, I picked up Endless Pink.

The packaging is very simple, elegant yet attractive. I love the product since i saw it.

Its a nice but dark pink shade, more of a fuchsia. The finish is just so satin that I felt in love with it, it glides so smoothly and buttery on lips and feel so light.

It color pay off is amazing a small amount is enough to transfer full coverage colour on my lips and I simply love this factor. The above image is how it looks under a sunlight.

The above image is taken inside the room. Apart from its awesome color pay off, the staying power is also very impressive, I applied it for straight 9 hours with slight eating and drinking and it was pretty much there, even when it fades out it leaves a very nice pink shade behind, and lot of lovely glitter which I actually never noticed when the colour is there.

For the final verdict I would say I am simply in love with this product and surely try more colors from its range. I bought it online from “Amor” for about 1700 PKR. I must say you should visit this awesome page and have some colors for your self too 🙂

Have you tried any shade from Sephora cream lip stain !! any recommendation for my next purchase ??

 

Happy Factor:

Smell nice

Lovely shade

Easy to apply

So smooth

Light on lips

Great staying power

 

Sad Factor:

Not available in local market in Pakistan

Garnier- The Brusher Gel Cleanser Deep Cleansing Formula

Hi All,

After a long time finally I am again with a new product review, its one of its kind lolz. Well I heard about the facial cleanser systems, and wanted to have one that should be affordable and easily available. Unfortunately I didn’t find any product available locally in Pakistan I was about to order Olay face cleansing system when I saw this in the market.

Its not exactly similar to those cleansing systems as its not operate able by any battery or there is no machine fit it, its a manual to use product.

IMG_20140829_222839214

The green colour bottle have the brush head at the top and gel inside. The “how to use” portion written on the bottle explained the usage really well, but I use it little differently.

 

IMG_20140829_222920737

Remove the cap, Place the brush under running water, twist the brush head in the direction mentioned in the bottle, squeeze the bottle and take the needed amount out and then swirl the brush in round motions. The gel will make foams and small amount will make quite well foams, the smell is so pleasant, the brush is so soft that it actually make me feel so relax. The product has amazing immediate results, when I wash my face I found my skin more soft, radiant and clear. I simply in love with this pocket friendly product.

Its oil free and perfect for me in summers especially.

Happy Factor:

Clear Oil and dirt from skin without making it dry

Leave skin smooth

Leave skin soft

Make skin more radiant

Smell so good

Brush is so soft

Easy to use, wash and keep

Sad Factor:

If not properly handle then more than required amount of gel can come out of the bottle

 

Have you used this amazing product, will love to listen from you.

Stay Blessed
