Bioderma Sebium Skincare Review.

Honest review.

This package arrived few days back and I kept bioderma on hold for the review as I wanted to try out the products myself before reccomending it to my followers.

The package included a 

Gel Moussant:

This cleansing foaming gel is a combination of formula that is perfect for normal/oily skin type.This has now become part of my morning beauty regime where previously I had an issue with my skin becoming all oily especially onto my T zone area/This product really reduce sebum,soothes and perfectly cleanses and does not dries out the skin.And most importantly it purifies and regulates seborrhea.


Purifying Cleansing Micelle Solution:

This product is a must buy for all the makeup fanatics out there,packed in a small bottle is this wonder solution that magically wipes all the grime and  dirt from the face leaving behind a clean and clear skin.Have not had a satisfactory experience with Garniers "Micelle Water" but this product is definitely going to be a part of my repurchase items.


Pore Minimizer:

Although I do not have large pores,but if a pea-sized portion of this corrective care pore refiner is applied prior to  makeup then it really helps minimize the pores,keeps the oil at bay and creates a smooth canvas for makeup application.

"Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant" An Absolute must have product in your skin care regime.



A long awaited review is finally up on one of my fave products by "Dermalogica" ie  one of Americas cult fave skincare brand.
Dermalogica "Daily Microfoliant" is truely a unique rice based enzyme powder that sloughs off dead skin cells  and instantly brighten up and smoothens the skin.
The grainy white powder activates upon contact with water and the active ingredients like papain, salicylic acid and rice powder accelerate the skin renewal process.It does not have artificial colorants or fragrances which in my opinion is the best thing a skincare product can have.I simply vouch for this product as one can see a noticeable effect after just one time use.Although the product is towards a bit pricey end but this holy grail product is worth each penny.
It comes in two sizes.A travel size(0.5oz) and a full size (2.6oz) bottles which retails at $10 and &55 respectively.

Price:$10-$55

Beauty Blender:Is it really worth all the "Hype"?



You could apply the most expensive makeup in the world,but if you're not applying it right you will never get that smooth,flawless and desired results. "Beauty Blender" a revolutionary makeup sponge slash applicator has become a cult favourite and a staple in every makeup bag. BB a seven time award winner of the annual "Best of Beauty Awards" is no ordinary sponge .Every other person is raving about this egg shaped tool but since I don't wear a foundation and stick to solid concealers, I never felt like I had any use for this thing. But oh boi I was badly mistaken, this tool is equally good for blending solids as for foundations,liquid concealers,cream blushes and much more.



Review:

The beauty blender is renowned for its egg shaped design and bright pink colour (it comes in other colours as well,but the original is bright pink).The difference between the beauty blender and other beauty applicators is the apparent difference that you see as soon as you first pick it up.So lets get straight to its Pros and Cons without any further delay.


Pros:

As it is a reusable sponge it lasts a few months, as long as you keep it clean and take care of it.The texture of the sponge is so soft that even a slight touch causes it to indent.Where other applicators can have a splotchy or streaky application,the BB's coverage looks surprisingly natural and uniform but there's a certain way to use this tool that is by dampening the sponge prior to the application.It's latex free and non-allergic plus you can blend in hard to reach areas.

Cons:

The tool isn't cheap and retails at $20. You have to be very vigilant about keeping it clean .The sponge holds stains and should probably be cleaned every time you use it and not cleaning it can result in accumulation of fungus on the sponge.It doesn't really work with BB creams or light coverage foundations as it soaks up most of the product.

WEIGHTLESS HEALING DRY OIL by OGX.

Todays product review is going to be different from the previous posts as it is not a makeup product but a hair care item, .Before I finish my second bottle I thought to write my opinion and tell to all my peeps out there, this product is actually Bomb. Now you must be wondering what that product is.Sorry to keep you waiting :P

 The product is  RENEWING ARGAN OIL OF MORROCCO WEIGHTLESS HEALING DRY OIL by OGX.
SO before I start I would like to mention that I have very dry hair and I always look for products which are Hydrating & Moisturizing.This product was not a Random pick,was purchased after reading and hearing great reviews.Struggling with dry & damaged hair has always been a great issue  due to which I have given my first preference to organic oil as their effect is somewhat lasting and  they penetrate deep into the hair shaft.

OGX has 2 main product lines.One for the hair and the other for the body.This dry oil is from their hair care range.
 PACKAGING & PRODUCT DETAILS:

The packagaing of this product is sooper dooper convinient.It comes in a plastic bottle with a spray pump.The spray pump helps in evenly distributing the product all over the hair.This dry oil as it says is actually dry..By this I mean that it does not have a sticky or greasy feel to it.I always research ingredient lists before buying a product and it has my favourite ingredient  which is the ARGAN OIL.....argan oil has numerous benefits (promotes hair growth,can be used as a heat protectant ,makes hair long strong & lustrous etc)You can apply it on both Wet & Dry  hair..I use this oil on my damp hair and as a heat protectant too before using heat tools.

It has a very fresh &  pleasant scent to it which I LOVE.Is good for all types of hair and textures .Gives my hair a very soft and smooth feel .
It is also very good for colour treated hair and makes hair shiny & healthy plus I have also seen a visible reduction in my split ends.It is a regular part of my hair care regime.

It comes in a 118ml bottle and product is to be used within 24 month after manufacturing.(mine finishes before that lol)
Availibilty:I ordered it online  through Amor https://www.facebook.com/amor.products/?fref=ts as it is an American brand they hardly stock it in pakistani stores.It retails at $5.74 and i purchased for Rs 1500.

Overall experience: very good.

Summer Skin Regime with PONDS


Hello Beauties....today i will discuss about this cute little pouch which was sent to me by Ponds Pakistan in collaboration with Vaseline (both are Unilever brands).  Since my childhood I have been using Ponds moisturizing cream and it was a part of  our daily skincare regime.All my family members use ponds moisturizing cream no matter what weather .The main ingredient being the BEESWAX works like a charm on my extra dry skin.

Today's review is not about their moisture cream but the products from their whitening and lightening range.Although I have never been fond of skin lightening but a big chunk of  the Asians especially ladies likes to be Fair and light skin toned.
so lets get to the point...

This plastic zip lock pouch had three product samples.Two from the ponds white beauty range and the other was a Vaseline lotion.

DETAILS OF THE PRODUCTS.:

1)PONDS WHITE BEAUTY DAILY ANTI-SPOT FAIRNESS CREAM 
 So I am going to start off with the Daily Anti-spot fairness cream first The packaging is very sleek and it came in a tube but originally it comes in a 35 gms pot with a pink lid.It has a very beautiful floral scent .The texture is a little thick .and takes 3-4 secs to absorb into the skin.The good thing was it didn't leave a white cast like other whitening /brightening/lightening creams .It protects the skin from UVA &UVB  rays so is a good alternate to sunblock/sunscreen lotions.The thing which put me off that it has  a very drying formula ...It made my skin a little more dry so i would recommend this for people with oily to combination skin type.

2)PONDS WHITE BEAUTY DAILY SPOT-LESS LIGHTENING FACIAL FOAM
The facial foam has somewhat a similar fragrance like that of the fairness cream.It has white creamy texture and creates lather when applied to wet face.But again this too is not recommended for Dry Skin.The results are not whitening as the product claims.

3)VASELINE HEALTHY -WHITE LIGHTENING FAIRNESS LOTION
Out of the 3 products the Vaseline lotion has won my heart due to its cute little packaging ,silky,smooth & soft texture and a very nice baby like scent .This lotion contains skin illuminating minerals with vitamin B3 and provides a triple sunscreen action.
Shelf life:All the products are to be used within 2 yrs /24 months after manufacturing

Final verdict:will repurchase the Vaseline lotion.

THE BALM MARY-LOU-MANIZER REVIEW


So today i'll be reviewing one of the BEST SELLERS of the BALM COSMETICS.Let me tell you a little bit about The Balm.It is an American brand which was founded  in 2004 by Marissa  Shipman and the brand is now recognized world wide.

So the product is a highlighter/shimmer /eye-shadow which has a very unique name called MARY-LOU-MANIZER.
This product is one of the best highlighters  i have tried so far.It has a very beautiful shimmery champagne colour with a slight hue of gold,it suits people with all skin tones and types.The product is GORGEOUS....when i say gorgeous i really mean it,its beautiful.

The packaging is a treat to the eyes with a Marilyn Monroe look alike on its cover...it comes in a silverish gray pan with a big round mirror and is very convenient to use.The texture of the highlighter is so smooth and does not look patchy when applied..It is blendable and stays on for a good 5-6 hours without a need to retouch.The pan has a reasonable size and will last longer.
I purchased this product online when all the YOUTUBE gurus were raving about this highlighter and YASSS!!! this is actually worth the hype.
It is perfect for a day time look as it gives a subtle glow but to intensify the look at night time,apply makeup setting spray on to the brush first then swirl the brush over the pan and apply onto the highest points of your face...you will achieve that perfect HOLLYWOOD GLOW .Do try this trick and you'll thank me later.

Net Weight: 8.5g/0.3 oz
It retails at $24 and can be purchased from https://thebalm.com/
I got it from an online page AMOR  https://www.facebook.com/amor.products/?fref=ts
