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


WHAT'S YOUR FAVROT KAJAL /KOHAL PENCIL ?

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




Price:$21

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 !

Swatches:




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 ,

Dove Hair Therapy Style & Care Strength & Shine Hairspray Extra Hold






Hello Beauties

Today subject of my post is Dove Hairspray, & post may help those who are into hair sprays , if you din't tried it yet than read this post & know about this product...!



OVERVIEW By Dove:

"Hair therapy. With Nutri-Style Complex. All day hold and enhanced luminosity. Better style though better care. Love your hair. At Dove we know better style comes through better care. Dove Style + Care with Nutri-Style Complex provides long lasting style by nourishing and protecting hair to prevent hair issues such as frizz, fly-aways and dry/split ends that get in the way of a great style.
 Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray Strengthens your hair style by providing strong hold while enhancing luminosity. Its fast drying formula fights frizz and fly-aways while adding body and volume. Enjoy extra hold without all the stiffness, for shiny hair with natural movement all day long."

Warnings:

My Experience:

I really don't like Dove's new hairsprays Because of its stiffness and flaking, but I'll have to say that's the smell of the hairspray is repugnant to me, it stays whole day .
it totally overpowers any perfume/cologne that may have light smell . 

It is inferior compared to the old  Dove blue bottle spray I have been using  had just the right amount of hold  It gave movable hold with no smell ,The old formula was PERFECT..!!

The new formula is such a downgrade. This new formula is absolutely terrible and leaves my hair dry and crunchy with awful smell >:( 

I will not buy this product again.



MY RATING:2.5/5




Price: 140 PKR/- (50ml)
