Nice n Easy Beauty Tips

Okay, I have been thinking for a long time to write a blog post like this. Every girl wants to make the most out of her hand bag. This blog post is mainly for working girls like me who have to spend more of their day at office or somewhere outside their home so a handbag is more or less all they have during the day. it should have all the required items that someone might need during the day. So I am not here to, you know ask you to follow the exact same things but definitely I will tell  you what s inside my handbag for work and why I think it’s a necessary item. I would also want all of you to share what’s inside your hand bag so that maybe someone can get an idea … isnt that great…

Hmm … I personally prefer my handbag for work to be a bit HUGE … I want it to hold so many of the things I would be needing during the day. so the size if you are working from 9 to 5 or 9 to 6 should be big enough to hold important items. the items inside my bag always include the following:

• My wallet –> Definitely you need a wallet when you go out to keep your money and cards etc in it.

• My beauty pouch –> Well, for every girl there HAS to be a beauty pouch in the bag. while some girls want to put their stuff right in the bag; I prefer organizing things as much as possible. So I keep a small pouch and put all the beauty related items in there. Here is its picture, It contains the following basic beauty items:
• Sun block
• Tinted Moisturizer
• Face powder
• Blushers (two of them – one is shimmery and one is matte)
• Lip gloss – one that is a shimmery glossy pink matching my natural lips with a sheen
• One eye liner
• One lip pencil
• a hand sanitizer
• a small mirror
• a kajal stick

• My techie stuff –> well this is for the girlies who are more tech savvy like myself … I put all this stuff in another pouch and here is whats included in this one:
• My cell phone charger
• my tablet charger
• my flash drives
• my mobile data cable

• A pack of facial wipes
• a pack of tissues
• a wide toothed comb
• some instant pain killers and quick medicines
• some safety pins
• a moisturizer

I have been looking for a neonic green color since ages and finally Flormar was the solution to my much long awaited search. So I am not going to keep it to myself and make you all aware of the wonderful product this is.

The Packaging:

It’s a beautiful packing with 11 ml liquid nail polish.

The Pricing:

It can be bought from any big cosmetic store in Rawalpindi/Islamabad. I purchased it for PKR 170 from Al jannat mall Commercial Market Rawalpindi. I think with the size of the bottle and its quality the value for money is good.

The Results:

Results are truly neonic. Its like this flourescent green color which looks amazing on the hands; and especially when your dress is matching, the effects are mind blowing … However, the first coat is a bit transparent, so if you want darker color you definitely need to apply a few more coats. In the pictures I have shared there are three coats of the nail color applied on my nails.

Okay, so who doesn’t hate pimples, of course we all do … and what if it pops up right before a wonderful event or party you had been preparing for since days and days in advance… obviously it’s the worst at such a time … so what should we do when such a situation comes up. we try to apply all kind of quick fixes to get rid of the pimple … which sometimes work and sometimes they worsen the condition  …

However, I found a product that really works … at least for me … lets discuss in detail the product and its results. Its Garnier Naturals Pure Pimple control pen.

The Packaging:

It is packaged in a cute small tube, which has a nozzle appropriate for application directly from the tube. the product itself is in a gel based formula which is transparent. it has a good fragrance which is a plus point and does not make u feel like you  have applied some medicine etc on your face.

The Pricing:

I got it for 295 PKR from Shaheen Chemist F-6 SUper market Islamabad.

The Results:

I would say I was impressed with the results. I just bought this thing out of curiosity to see how it works … for a long time when I bought this I didn’t get any pimple to see the results of this product but when I did I was so excited to finally check out my new product lol I know its funny … anyhow … I applied this product on my pimple every 3 hours … and that pimple zapped out the next day … it was almost completely dry the next day and by the evening it was gone … there was no black or dirty mark left after that even which is definitely a plus point. Another time when I got two pimples on my face they took almost two days with application of this product after every 5-6 hours during the day. All in all I think this product is a must have for you as it dries out the pimple very nicely and treats your skin well. It also prevents you from touching your pimple again and again.

Have you guys tried this product? if yes, what are your experiences; do share with me here.

Tinted moisturizers are something I always yearned for, but never got a chance to use one myself. Foundation & Moisturizer in one – its like a blessing for all those girls like me who are always running out of time when getting ready. Hehe! To My rescue, ELF cosmetics introduced their tinted moisturizers in Pakistan. Let me review one of them for you and tell you my comments about this wonderful product.

The Packaging:

The packaging is quite nice. It’s a card backed transparent pack in which the tinted moisturizer is set up. The tube has a pointed nozzle which allows you to take out only as much of the tinted mo as required. The tube is transparent (I think – mine is quite new so not very sure though) to show you the color inside. it’s a small tube which is very easy to carry in ur bag and even your wallet.

The Pricing:

The pricing, yet again is very impressive, it costs 170 PKR only. I purchased it online from their website. I am not sure if these products are available in the market or not however, I just learnt that Just4girls.pk also sell their products now. I have ordered from the ELF Cosmetics Pakistan website two times and I am really happy with all the products I ordered. However, the shipping usually takes about 2 weeks which is something they need to improve. I am now planning to order ELF products from Just4girls.pk to see how their shipping service is, because Just4girls.pk usually deliver order on time as per my experience.

The Results:

The results are very good. It gives your face a smooth and even finish which lasts for the whole day (7-8 hours). Just set  it up with a good face powder and you are good to go. It is SPF 15 so you can even use it instead of sun block on “not too sunny” days. It does not require a lot of amount to be applied and contains both the goodness of a moisturizer and the radiance of foundation. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone out there especially because of its good results and wonderful cost benefit ratio. Your skin looks fresh and even toned after you apply it. Though you can apply face powder after this tinted moisturizer application but even if you don’t, the skin looks good enough. I will definitely buy this product again.

Hey there, cleansing is one of our most important aspects of daily beauty regime. If you girls do not cleanse your skin every night before sleeping, I personally think you are doing really bad to your skin. Cleansing removes dirt, dead cells and effects of pollution on your skin, so it should be a part of your daily health and beauty routine.

Today I am going to review “Garnier Skin Naturals Essentials Grape Water Makeup Remover Milk”. I have used many cleansers throughout my life and it was just a chance I picked up this one when I was switching from Prevense Cleanser. I have never been a real fan of the company Garnier, as the Garnier skin naturals Skin  lightening cream didn’t do anything good for me. However, I thank my lucky stars that I DID try this product from Garnier.

The Packaging:

The packaging is almost transparent grapewhite milky bottle which shows you how much of the cleanser you have consumed. The cleanser itself is white in color and as the name suggests its more of cleansing milk sort of a lotion.

The Pricing:

The price of this bottle is PKR 450 and you can get it from any cosmetic and medical store. I bought mine first from D. Watson and now I can find it almost in any big departmental store and chemist shop.

The Results:

The results of this product have simply amazed me like no other cleanser. I didn’t expect this one to work so well. It removes water proof eye makeup in just one swipe, its so mild on the skin and on the eyes that I don’t even feel I m putting something in my eyes. I normally apply it on a cotton round or swab and then use the cotton swab to cleanse my skin and eyes. Normally it takes two to three cotton rounds to cleanse my skin thoroughly when I have light makeup on. By far this is one of the best cleansers I have ever tried and since then I have been using it continuously. this is the cleanser which I have used the most in my life and I am very happy with this product and its results. After cleansing it leaves your skin refreshed, cool and cleansed and you feel a visible difference on your skin if you continue using it. The cost benefit ratio is great and I would definitely recommend it to all  of you out there.

I love nail colors of all kinds. Today I am going to review Luscious nail color in No. 7 – Peach Fuzz

The Packaging:

Its packaged in a beautiful clear bottle which shows the nail color and a stylish black top which has a big enough brush to cover your nail with nail polish in one to two good swipes. The bottle is bigger than many other nail polishes from other brands and personally I think it’s a bit stronger also (didn’t test it by throwing it on the floor but it just looks more exquisite ). The nail color looks very classy from inside the bottle and the quality is very flowy yet thick enough to stay put on the nails

The Pricing:

It can be bought from any big cosmetic store in Rawalpindi/Islamabad. I purchased it online from their website here for PKR 225 only. They ship nationwide and that too for free . I think with the size of the bottle and its quality the value for money is good.

The Results:

Results are very good when you consider the beautiful sheen in your nails after applying the nail color. It has a pearly effect and gives your nails a light glossy effect. It is a peachy or coral shade and looks amazing on your fingers. However I don’t think if you are looking for a nude shade this is a right choice for you. It stays non chipped for sometime, in my pictures I have it on for 2 days (without any base coat or top coat). Overall I consider it a good shade and nice addition to my collection.

Have you guys used this shade or any other nail color from Luscious Cosmetics? Share your experiences if you have.

I am one of the people who are really not much into lip glosses, I personally prefer lipsticks and lip liners which are matte finished. But this offer from Al jannat Mall Commercial Market Rawalpindi persuaded me to purchase Loreal lip glosses and try them out. The offer said you can buy 3 lip glosses in the price of 1. It was my first experience with Loreal lip glosses, though I had heard a lot of praise for them but because of my low interest in lip glosses I never thought to try them out.

Not only did I buy Loreal lip glosses as a result of this wonderful offer, but I actually liked them so much that I have decided to write a review on one of them.

So, today I am going to review Loreal Paris Glam Shine Gloss Brilliance Lip Gloss in 106 – Forever Young; okay girls so lets get started …

The Packaging:

The lip gloss is packaged in a beautiful clear jar with a silver cap. The color of the lip gloss shows through the transparent jar and the brush of the lip gloss is big enough to color your lips in one swipe.

The Pricing:

Since I got this one as a result of a promotional offer, I got three lip glosses for 1200 PKR. The actual price of the lip gloss ranges from 1200 – 1500 PKR though.

The Results:

The results are pretty good, and I must say I am really impressed by this lip gloss range. They claim that the lip gloss stays on for 6 hours and believe me it actually does. Even at the end of the day I have some bits of traces of its glitter on my lips and its staying power is super. it is somewhat a transparent gloss and you can use it above any of your lipsticks too. it’s a soft pink shimmery color which brings vibrance to your face all of a sudden and freshens up your whole look. In the pictures I have shared below I have used it on my nude lips, please excuse the skin on my lip corners as I suffered from a lip allergy sometime back and my skin got irritated due to that.

In the following picture I am using it over a lipstick,

The Good Things:

• Lasting power is super
• Looks good both on nude lips and over a lipstick
• the finish is ultra glossy

The Bad Things:

• A bit pricey as compared to the rest of the lip glosses
• sometimes tends to be sticky when u apply too much of it

Have you used this lip gloss, please share your comments of how did you find it.
