The Body Shop Strawberry Lip Balm - Review & Swatches

Hello My Beauty Geeks!

Our today's topic for review is "TBS Born Lippy Balm in Strawberry" ,

scroll down to know more about it ...

This Strawberry Lip Balm  comes in a tiny cute little pot and the pink color balm suits the theme Strawberry. 

My Experience:

I fell so much in love with this .Gives glossy lips  & very light pink hint to lips when applied,

When I tried it for the first time I did lick some of the balm and left my lips dry as it was hard to resist :p

 The smell of strawberry lingers around for some time and if you are a strawberry lover I am sure you will love this lip balm.

The lip balm Moisturises the lip really well though you have to keep reapplying the balm now and then, especially if you want the glossiness to stay on for a while. 

At start i felt some heavy/oiliness  in my throat but after using some product it gets normal.(may be this happens to me only bco'z i experienced so with many lipiez too)

Tiny and weight less and the lid is very intact. Hence can be carried along with in your purse.

What to Love:

•  Smells yummy and no one can resist licking it .... :p
•  It moisturises the lips pretty well.
•  Leaves a light pink tint to the lips.
•  does not leave my lips dry.

Cons :

• Glossiness stays for hardly 30 mins.
• Staying power is very less and that is a major con.
• The color vanishes pretty quickly, Re-applying needs frequently.

My Rating -4/5

Price: Pkr 650/- (10ml)

Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent - Review & Swatches

Hello Dolls!

Today, I’m gonna share with you Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder,
& i think i'm the last one on earth who's gonna review it .... hehe :p

Packaging & Swatches:

I'd picked it in 001 Transparent , which works absolutely well for me .

The packaging is so bad!! The lid is very loose, which makes it impossible to carry around in a purse. The top part doesn’t stay close for some reason, but honestly, for this price, you can’t really complain. 

color - 001 Transparent

My Experience:

I've combination skin & i use face powder for my T-zone esp in summers,

I have to say that Rimmel's STAY MATTE really makes my T-zone MATTE for upto 5 hrs . I believe the longest my T-zone didn’t shine was for 7 hours, THAT IS AMAZING!!! No shine for 7 hours!! Anyway, back to the product.

It does have some downfalls though, which I am going to talk about in a little bit.

This powder doesn’t come with a brush or sponge, but I have bought a puff and I love how it makes my face look. It doesn’t make you look “cakey” at all. It makes your face look so smooth.

It gets rid of all the shine on my T-zone which is amazing and so far, it hasn’t been breaking me out.  But I’m not sure if its comparable to a high-end product for price the quality they provide one can't complain/judge it.

I adore that it is a transparent powder and it does everything it says, gives minimal coverage & shine free T-zone .

Overall this is a really nice powder with a nice texture. If you have dry skin, stay away from areas where you tend to get dry/flaky patches and use it very lightly only where you really need it.

What to Love:

• My face stays matte for at least 5 hours.
• Dermatologically tested.
• Good pigmentation
• Minimize pores (temporarily)

Cons: 

• The packaging is weak.
• Doesn’t come with a sponge.

My Rating:4.5/5

Nivea Visage Indulging Cleansing Milk - Review & Swatches

Halo Beauties ,

so after about a week i'm here with a promised post :)

Lets scroll down to know more about today's product !!!

NIVEA VISAGE Indulging Cleansing Milk cleanses dry and sensitive skin gently yet effectively.

HOW IT WORKS

Its gentle formula effectively removes make-up and skin impurities, while respecting the skin’s natural moisture balance.

• Enriched with Calendula Extract and Almond Extracts, this silky texture smoothes and moisturizes your skin.
• Purified and moisturized, your facial skin feels smooth and supple.

 SWATCHES:

My Experience:

Usually a cleansing milk for the face wont be safe for use around the eyes, but this one does (considering the affordable price), & light fresh smell. The Nivea Visage Indulging cleansing milk gives the skin a wonderful clean feeling without the dryness. It cleans makeup base, foundation, lipstick, mascara and eyeliners too. When using heavy (means really heavy)makeup one cleansing step wont be enough, after wiping with a cotton, I'll massage some of the cleansing milk again for the second time until the cotton pick up no more makeup. Then followed by a foaming facial wash and toner. 

Overall, NIVEA Visage Indulgign Cleansing Milk cleans the facial skin without over drying and feels friendly on the skin overall (including the skin around the eyes). Suitable for daily use and as a makeup remover too. 

lemme summarize it for you all

What to Love:

• Skin compatibility dermatologically and opthamologically proven.
• It lives up to its claims. Does the job pretty well.
• It didn’t cause me to break out unlike many other cleansers, even when I didn’t wash it after removing it with cotton.
• The quantity for the price is awesome. Will last two or three months if used daily and some 5-6 months if used not so often.

Cons:

• it does create irritation in my eyes when penetrated.
• As it says it is for normal or mixed skin, oilies might not like it.

No more cons as such. It is a nice product, worth a try !

My Rating: 3.8/5

Price: Pkr 545/-

MAYBELLINE the COLOSSAL KAJAL- Review - swatches

I wanna try this twist-up pencil after reading so much good about it.

Before this beauty arrived to me i got another Black kajal pencil from DMGM review is yet to be post.

My Experience:

The product is extremely well pigmented,smudge resistant & claims to stay put for 6 hours. I actually put it to test & its still in place after good 3.5/4 hours

The best part about this Maybelline’s colossal kajal is that it can work well as an eye liner, for this simple reason that it won’t chip or flake off, or smudge or fade away before 4 hours.  So you can roam around wearing it on your upper lid as an eyeliner, or inner rim, water line yet not feel itchy or irritated!!

The ingredients used in it are natural and caring like olive oil, vitamin E and a few others not mentioned

What to Love:

• intensity
• water+smudge proof
• long wearing
• itch-less 
• attractive yellow packaging

Cons:

• lesser amount of product
• availability

MY Rating:4/5

MAC Melon Pigment- Review & swatches

Hello Lovelies 

Today you're with me to know about MAC Pigment & its Melon ,

so lets scroll down to know more :)

Yesterday i was digging my stash & found this product , a long time ago when it entered into it & now its here for review ....

I love multi purpose products & MAC pigments are one of'em !

MAC has quite a large variety of pigments which are very popular too, as its a multi purpose product for me so i use it in different ways for a variety of different things Sometimes i like to use mixing mediums to create strong opaque and sometimes metallic look sometimes just like to apply it as it is & it still look just as good!

MAC Melon Pigment is a very popular shade. That was the reason why I've got it 

The color of MAC Melon Pigment is a beautiful peachy gold & its absolutely gorgeous!

If you have tried the "Rabenesque" paint pot by MAC  you'll notice how similar the shades are.

SWATCHE:

MY EXPERIENCE:

This pigment applies like a dream & blends evenly & well too, as its a lose powder form brush picks product very well , but on the downside it can be messy sometimes so you need to be very careful when you are putting your brush in the pot or you could get it every where , happened with me in start :s
The pigment in the picture is from the older packaging and MAC have since released their new packaging which is identical to their nail polish bottles. This though, means that there is less product in the pots although to be honest, it would be very difficult to use up a whole pigment, you just get so much product!
At the end is it worth it? Most definitely, if you use products like this regularly. If not, then it might just sit there gathering dust, which probably is not a good thing either.



What to Love :

-You get a lot of product
-Well pigmented
-Blends well
-Beautiful colour

What are Cons:

-Pricey

-Now only the smaller pot is available

-a bit tricky to apply

MY RATING:5/5

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils 15 Year Anniversary Collection Review & Swatches

Hello My Beauty Geeks !


Today i'm gonna share with you all my most desired product by URBAN DECAY
This was on Top of my UD  wish list about right after its release 

After watching colors & reading reviews about this beauty , all the time i was dreaming about it (but can't get it here in Pakistan) so in result long time wait for it  ..!!

(Thanx to my dear one who bought it for me & keep protected for months & now its all mine yeeeyyyyyy..!!!)
as now i own it so i'm super excited & wanna share it with you all Beauties ,

so lets Begin with Review of this tremendous Palette ....
Packaging:

The box comes with a clear plastic sleeve. On the back, you’ll find the ingredients as well as the Urban Decay story.

When you slide out the box, it’s so flashy! The box has the Urban Decay logo tiled all over in various colors, and the background is a highly-reflective silver that made photographing it well a bit difficult.

Inside, you have the product shrink-wrapped.  The 15 pencils are lined up nicely on their display ‘bed’ that has a faux-velvet texture. You’ll also find the Urban Decay Grind House pencil sharpener on the bottom left.

The pencils and sharpener say “UD15″ to pay tribute to Urban Decay’s 15th anniversary.

  15 gorgeous pencils & one double barrel sharpener !

For ingredients visit Urban Decay's website ..!

My Experience:

Urban Decay 24-7 eyeliners I consider them must-haves for any make-up lover’s collection.

This collection carries eyeliners in all the colors of the rainbow & i really Love it , who don't ???

The Colors are super creamy & glide on easily & stays put (smudge-proof), Powerful, vibrant color,
Can be blended (within 30 seconds of application) & they are waterproof , i mean WATERPROOF ,When I was swatching it on my arm, I tested out the lasting power by rubbing my fingers over the swatches probably 20 times hard and fast. As long as you wait 30 seconds after application, these babies barely smudge. Really impressed!


They apply smoothly and don’t tug on your lid at all. You also don’t need to go over the same section multiple times to get vivid color with most of the hues.

To my surprise, they looked almost as if I had just put it on, and the colors were still vibrant after 12 hours , makes me bawl eyes out like O_O 

You can pull off any look from sweet and natural to fierce by these cuties!

Some people were complaining about its weird smell , I also noticed a distinctive smell that wasn’t pleasant, but it also wasn’t unpleasant. It was just unusual because usually eyeliners don’t smell like anything , i just put my pencils in an open  jar & after a week smell was gone!

If wearing eyeliner is part of your everyday makeup routine, you need this! Even if you can’t get your hands on the limited-edition anniversary collection, I urge you to try any of the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on pencils.

Lemme summarize it for you all,

What to Love:

• Contains 6 new shades
• Includes a lot of ‘everyday-suitable’ colors & a couple of ‘bright & fun’ colors
• Eyeliners are highly waterproof & smudge-proof
• Crease proof
• Most colors are highly pigmented
• Creamy consistency
• Collectible packaging

What to Hate:

• Expensive when you drop this much all at once (but it’s a great value)
• My set had a weird smell initially (aired it out & it’s okay now), many else claimed so too .
• Limited-edition set (once it’s gone, it’s gone…as now its not available anymore :s but you can buy some of the colors individually )

Price: $92 

 15 eyeliners (1.2 g each / 0.04 US oz. each) + 1 sharpener 

My Rating:5/5

Hope You All Like It ,
