The packaging of the product ensures that the product isnt wasted and also makes the usage simple and non messy.




My Experience:
Garnier Essentials Makeup Remover Milk is my secondary makeup remover,
Garnier Essentials Makeup Remover Milk is a thick, creamy makeup remover. It is one of those makeup removers which can easily help you get rid of the makeup whilst cleaning up your skin too.
It doesn’t have a strong scent which will affect the sensitive noses. It has a very subtle and rosy scent.
The texture of the remover is thick and rich creamy, I usually apply it onto my face and massage in it, and wipe it off with a cotton dab.
I use this too get off the whole day face slap. It removes my lipstick, mascara, kohl, base makeup and everything that needs to be off my face before going to bed with equal grace and efficiency.
Not just this it also makes my skin feel clean and supple and not dry and stretchy which is a trait of a lot of makeup removers usually.
It gets off the waterproof mascara and kohl easily too, without stinging the eye.

What’s to LOVE :

• Scent
• Price & quantity

• Doesn’t make the skin feel stretchy
• Removes all kind of makeup easily and gracefully

OLAY Natural White Healthy Fairness Night Cream - Review



Hello Sweets!

Hope you all are doing great?today I am reviewing Olay Natural White Healthy Fairness Night Cream today.






Ingredients & Texture:


• Olay triple efficacy whitening formula
• Vitamin E
• Milky whitening essence
• Olay moisturizing factor

Olay Natural White Cream contains no chemical bleaches – its purely natural ingredients make your skin look milky, translucent white in just 4 weeks. It is ideal to cover up dark spots, freckles and sun spots and also acts as a base for make-up.
Use Natural White Fluid for oily / combination skin.





 The texture of the Olay Natural White Healthy Fairness Day Cream is thick and creamy as it looks in the pictures .


Packaging:

Let’s start from square one; the packaging of the Olay Natural White Healthy Fairness Night Cream is extremely simple and easy, a Beautiful sturdy jar , with an extra lid inside to save product from harmful bacteria's , so packaging is hygienic I prefer my regular moisturizers in the tub/jar form, since they make me feel casual and at ease.





My Experience :

Basically this is one of those initial creams which I started using on regular basis.
it has a very soothing floral sweet yet refreshing scent. The cream smells extremely delightful (I am seriously bad at describing scents and colors) :P . 
The next thing which counts as the USP of this cream which I completely love is the “paraben free” ingredient list.  It has vitamin E. 
However on application the cream goes easy and becomes emollient. It absorbs into the skin provided you massage it well, if you don’t it may leave a light white film on the skin(so as their day cream).
It makes the skin feel soft and supple and hydrated .It does make the skin feel good and refreshed, but the “fairness” factor is not that true. I mean it does even out the skin but nothing more than that.

I have a combination skin so this works just more than fine for me,it doesn’t even make my skin feel greasy or oily..  I feel a bit stretch in my skin around the mouth and around the nose after washing my face. ( I hope you are getting what I mean). It didn’t cause any irritation or break outs on my face, even it helps to reduce this factor of my skin & sooth'em.
In a Nutshell it does a tad better job and stays up to its claims better than their day cream from this range.


My Rating: 4/5






Price:550 - 600 Pkr /-

Hope it helps !

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks in Raspberry - Review & Swatches



Hello Lovelies!!


Today I am reviewing a  HOTTIE from Bobbi Brown, the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks in Raspberry.its a 2 in 1 product .
After reading people RAVE and RAVE and only RAVE about this product, I finally made my mind to get hold of it.


so lets begin with Review...



Shades Available :

I was all confused and perplexed with which shade to pick and go with. I mean all the shades of the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks are beyond GORGEOUS.It comes in 10 shades, you would get a shade from all colors & i'd picked in Raspberry.Its a gorgeous deep mauvy pink, but it looks super bright on my cheeks and lips, i use it on daily basis to add some pop .
It is the kind of color which shall suit almost all skintones and types. 








Swatches:






Packaging :
Previously Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks used to come into this glass pots, and now it retails in a compact case, which looks like this.
It has a mirror too unlike the previous one.





My Experience:

The pigmentation of the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks in Raspberry is superb, it does not look like a lip tint or doesn’t have a sheer finish, it has a strict and intense pigmentation. One swipe can easily cover up pigmented lips and even on the cheeks you just need a single dab.

Its texture is super creamy and smooth, it glides over the lips like magic. whether applied with Brush or finger. I know it’s unhygienic and all that jazz but chill it, I am the solo user for this product anyways. For my cheeks to I use my fingers to dab the product onto my cheeks or else I use my regular blush brush to achieve the desired results.
It blends easily and also has a mild fragrance, which is not that tough on the sensitive noses.

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks in Raspberry has a semi matte finish,
Even the oily skinned ladies need not fright away from this product since it is cream product. The staying power of this product is amazing, on my lips it survives for about 4-5 hours even with meals and drinks. It does fade after a certain time but then it doesn’t go off completely, it fades gracefully, both on the lips and cheeks.
It doesn’t settle into the fine lines of the lips neither does it melt away.
It is superbly hydrating and moisturizing. My lips do not feel dehydrated or moisture ridden with its use. When applied on the cheeks, it gives soft dewy color to my cheeks which looks uber natural and soft.

Let me summarize it for you all


What’s to LOVE  :

• Packaging. Compact, also has a mirror
• Pigmentation
• Staying power
• Hydrating properties
• Multi purpose
• Shade range
• Finish
• Texture

What’s to HATE :

• Nothing only i wish it had a little brush

Final Verdict :
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks in Raspberry is a great multipurpose product. Atleast one from this range is worth a try.


My Rating: 5/5




Price[.13 oz/ 3.8 ml ] : $25


Stay Beautiful!

MAC MSF in Petticoat - Review & Swatches


Hey Beauties!

Today i'm gonna review another M.A.C beauty & this time its M.A.C skinfinish in Petticoat.
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


stay beautiful!

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 (:

stay beautiful

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
xoxo
