again this products is from M.A.C's limited edition Mineralize Skinfinishes  (:

wanna know more about this awesome product ?

 keep reading ...

MAC’s Limited Edition Mineralize Skinfinishes are probably one of their most coveted items, they are sold out in a matter of minutes!
‘Petticoat’ is one of those which was widely loved and sought after.
It is limited edition which means it probably will only come out once every few years but when something is that special, you will throw caution to the wind and just get it!

Packaging:

 It comes in the usual MSF packaging .The mineralize products are dome shaped which means you get even more product than you would normally in a pot this size.
 Although mineralize skinfinishes are expensive, it is very unlikely you would ever need to buy more than one so it is definitely worth getting.

Swatches:

My Experience:

  MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Petticoat is a raspberry sort of shade with a plum kind of shimmer.

The consistency of the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Petticoat is very smooth and it is easily blendable too. This is pretty shimmery but that is why I feel you do not need too much product.

Upon application, I liked the longevity of it. It stayed on for the whole day and gave my skin a beautiful glow. I really enjoy wearing this as an all in one blush/highlight.

Pro’s :

-Beautiful shade
-blends well
-very flattering on most skin tones

Con’s:

-Pricey( Again though, if something is just really good, you won’t hesitate to purchase it.)

-Some may not like the shimmer


My Rating:

Price:£21.50

MAC Mineralize Blush in Nuance - Review & Swatches

Hey Beauty Geeks!

Today i'm come up with a high end brand  MAC
its M.A.C Mineralize Blush in Nuance. its a super lush blush , 

its from M.A.C's limited edition mineralize blushes & luckily i grab it & now its all mine (:

wanna know more about it ?

 keep reading ....

As you are probably aware, MAC come out with collections regularly and sometimes, a product will stand out against all others like the MAC Mineralize Blush in Nuance.

It is a peach shade with gold shimmer. It is shimmery and, I love how it looks!

Swatch:

My Experience:

It gives a gorgeous sunkissed glow to the skin and it would be perfect to use in a hurry because as it is a shimmer, you would not need to apply a highlight on your cheekbones after this! 

The pigmentation is good, it is not too bright and so you could wear it every day.  There are many other blushes out there similar in shade to this. It is smooth and easy to apply, not chalky at all so that is a definite advantage. With a medium skin tone this blush looks so beautiful! 

The fact that it is buildable definitely makes it a product to buy! Most popular limited edition products are released every few years. This has been released twice and it probably will come out again at some point. MAC mineralize blushes retail at £19 which is quite expensive! However, if you find something as being a staple product, it is well worth it.

Pros:

-Beautiful shade
-Buildable
-Smooth, not chalky
-Beautiful fine shimmer

Cons :

-Limited Edition

My Rating:5/5

Price: £19

i'd grabbed  some other M.A.C goodies too

so keep in touch for reviews (:

How to Goodbye CAKEY Makeup - ( Tips )

Hi Beauties!


Today i'm gonna share with you some Beauty tips about  avoiding cakey makeup which i got by a great makeup guru & i thought why not to share it with other luvlies too
so here they are .....

As You know we’ve all at one time or another applied too much foundation or concealer and ended up with what I like to call “Cakey Face”.  This is a common dilemma when it comes to makeup, so here’s few easy steps in how to get more natural looking skin!

1.   Apply a face primer

This step helps prime your skin just as paint primer preps your walls before applying paint:  it smooths out the surface filling in pores and making the surface smoother for the foundation. 

2.  Don’t apply too much foundation

Now I realize that if you want full coverage or have many blemishes you’d like to cover, the first thing you think is to apply a fair amount of foundation.  This will cover the blemishes BUT will also risk the chance of piling up and looking very mask like.  The better option is to apply a thin layer just to even out your overall skin, then go over with concealer on just the blemished areas.  sponge is better option to apply  foundation because it applies a thin layer and makes it easier to melt the foundation into the skin.  It is best used damp as the wet sponge thins the foundation slightly.

3.   Apply powder only to oily areas

This is the key step!  ONLY apply powder to the areas on your face that tend to get oily- usually the “T zone”.   If you have dry skin, you may even be able to skip powder altogether.  The trick is to also apply powder in a thin layer- I find the best way to do this is to use a thin, flat sponge.

4.   Mist setting spray

This step is optional- I just do this step if my skin looks a bit dry after applying powder.  My absolutely favorite product of all time is MAC’s Fix Plus spray- simply mist it all over your face after your makeup is done.  It will give a subtle glow to the skin and help “melt” the powder into your foundation.   If your skin is oily, I would skip this step as it can make it look more oily at the end of the day…

ALWAYS remember to apply makeup in thin layers at a time- you can always add more, but it’s very difficult to take away.   I really hope this helps you all in your quest of getting flawless looking skin!

Stay Blessed!
much love

OLAY Natural White(Healthy fairness face wash) - Review

What does the product claim: 

"Olay Natural White Face wash effectively cleans your skin & takes you closer to fairer healthy glowing skin.
1-Produces rich foam to help clear your impurities.
2-its rich cleansing formula takes you closer to fairer looking skin."

Usage Guidance:
Use morning and evening .Apply to wet face and gently massage with Finger tips, wash off with warm water.

My Experience :

I have tried a lot of facial washes , this time I was looking for a new product and I came across Olay Natural White (Healthy Fairness Cleansing) Face Wash. I bought it and started using it…..what I noticed about the Olay Natural white Face Wash is the Smell and the creamy soft feel (while applying on face). It smells really nice.
I had been using it since last month and I have noticed that there has been change in the appearance of my skin. My skin looks good but as i've combination skin it breakouts my dry areas but I can say there’s a little improvement in my skin tone.

-It has pretty balanced consistency. It is neither too thick nor too runny (i would say it creamy thick) and just perfect. It can be easily squeezed off the Tube .
-You only need small quantity to cover your face and neck. I take pea sized amount of the product and it is enough for my face.

BUT one thing isn't present in it as per OLAY's claim , it doesn't leathers as like any other creamy texture face-wash, while massaging you feel it more like a cleanser , but it works well.

Overall verdict: 
This is really one of the best face wash that I have ever tried .

My Rating:3.5/5

Price( 100g ): 400-450 Pkr 
(varies from place to place)

Luscious Single Eye shadow - Review & Swatches

Hey Beautiful Geeks!


Today i'm gonna share with you about one of Luscious Beauty "Luscious's Single Eye Shadows"

so keep reading .... (:


i'd picked four colors out of their 12 tremendous options, all colors are so attractive & one can build various looks by'em from smokey to pastels, from dark to light .

What Luscious says about'em?

Are you sick of eye shadows that fade after you apply them? We've got the perfect solution! Luscious Eye shadows are luxuriously creamy, rich, and blend-able  They are packed with intense color that will never crease or fade. Enhance your eyes with delicate shimmer and a plush, velvety finish.

so here is the Beauty itself ...

Packaging is beautiful with a decent & sturdy casing  . 

(L-R >Misty , Deep forest , Moon-beem , Thunder)

MY EXPERIENCE:

I totally agree with what Luscious say about their eye shadows. They are pigmented, rich, creamy and easy to blend, as they have shimmer in'em they looks pretty and rich when applied.

i use Moonbeem on the browbone & thunder as highlighter as well & both works best.

moonbeem can be used as a base for a cream eyeshadow.

i swatched all of'em on bare skin(without any base/primer) so one can get an idea how pigmented they are .

on me they give an upto 4 hour average without creasing.

The shades are easily wearable and are very pretty , i love these Luscious beauties ,

& definitely get more shades .

My Rating:4/5

Price: Rs.325/- each

Luscious Plumping Lip-gloss ! Review & Swatches

Hey  Luvlies!

Today I'm gonna review 

Luscious Sparkling Strawberry plumping lip-gloss!

It's a Peachy pink with gold shimmer ....

Luscious says:

"With the hydrating benefits of sweet almond oil and vitamins, our non-sticky formula will drench your lips in luxurious, high voltage shine. Natural mint extracts make your lips tingle and enhance them to create a fuller, plumper pout.

Luscious Plumping Lip Gloss is a must-have for instant glamour! "

                     

My Experience:

Luscious plumping lip gloss were relaunched a year before last, they added 5 more colors in plumping gloss range & now they are available in 10 beautiful shades with a hint of shimmer in'em.

as per Luscious claim it gives me high voltage shine. Natural mint extracts make my lips tingle and enhance them to create a fuller, plumper pout BUT it has a sticky formula & i feel it heavy on my lips. 

(may be its only in my case but i experienced it...)

on bare lips it stays good one hour on me

with lip liner its gives me 1 & a half hour 

the best thing in luscious lip products is that

 *They are alcohol free and free of animal ingredients so i prefer to buy Luscious lip products .

Luscious HD Mineral Foundation - REVIEW & SWATCHES

Hi Beauties !

Today i'm gonna review Luscious HD mineral foundation , so stay with me ...

What is HD makeup?

High-def cameras expose any crease, wrinkle, or blemish. But thick, unnatural pancake makeup is also obvious through an HD lens.

To avoid the cakey texture of standard TV makeup, high-definition makeups are sheerer while still hiding uneven skin texture and other un-telegenic flaws, By HD-friendly makeup can be seen the skin through the makeup, but the makeup creates a softer focus.

In other words, these cosmetics simultaneously camouflage imperfections, cover blemishes, and still manage to appear invisible. The pigments and formulas are designed to blend seamlessly with the skin.

(info courtesy : webmd.com)

What Luscious says About it:

its a silky, lightweight foundation made from pure minerals with all the benefits of a skincare treatment. The soft-matte formula is infused with minerals, vitamins and deep sea water. Glides onto your skin for perfect coverage, and evens out your complexion while allowing your skin to breathe. Continued use will make your skin smoother and clearer, even when you're not wearing foundation!

This foundation has been specially formulated to provide all the benefits of mineral makeup without compromising on coverage or staying power, and minimizes pores and imperfections for a high definition finish.

Contains 0% Oil, 0% Talc and 0% Fragrance
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Dermatologist tested.

MY EXPERIENCE:

Product is liquid in type & sheer in coverage .
its invisible on my skin (: i love this factor)

it gives my skin a dewy finish & my skin looks flawless without looking cakey...
 its light on skin & long lasting too , it won't clog my prose as well...

 if you want/like matte finish you could set it up with a matte pressed powder.

it contains real minerals in it i.e Pearls powder, silicone &  deep sea water these ingredients enhance skin's texture actually.


Packaging is totally hygienic as it has a pump nosal so amount of product is in your control as formula is liquid so pump helps you to control access of product  & you are safe from harmful bacterias as well. 

In nutshell its a great product, which won't break you out, i'm using it now a days(winters) its working perfect for my combination skin type.

it comes in 7 different shades , one can get her perfect skin match .

One more Best thing about Luscious Cosmetics is that their products are best for south Asian skins (:

MY RATING:4/5

PRICE:1,175Pkr
