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.

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.

ieyrahm.blogspot.com

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

My Take On Christine Sparkling Dust

Are you a makeup fanatic? If yes then you all must be aware of the fact that a sparkle to the eye makeup adds an extra OOMPH and if not then you definitely need to try these dazzling "CHRISTINE SPARKLING" dusts as they add an exotic touch to the eyes.

Product or store intro:

The Christine Sparkling dust is finely milled and they barely fall out when applying to the lids.The glitter dust comes in a wide variety of shades.I bought these in three different shades which are below with swatches.

1)Peach
Colour Code:165

2)Brown Sugar
Colour Code:169

3)Burgundy
Colour Code:170

Over all Experience:

The sparkling dust has a very smooth and fine formula.They can be compared to the high-end glitter dusts like Mac or Kryolan.They are super affordable and stay on for a good 5-6 hours.Have an extremely good quality and can be used by both beginners and professionals.Peach and Brown Sugar are my favourite colours as they are more wearable whereas burgundy is a bit bold to carry.

Cost &Availibility:

This products retails at 160 PKR and can be easily purchased from Christine cosmetics kiosk at all leading stores in Pakistan.In addition the products are available at Naheed super store,Bin hashim,Chase value,Chase omega,Imitiaz super market and many more.I got mine from Imtiaz Super Store Karachi.

DISCLAIMER: THESE PRODUCTS WERE NOT SENT TO ME BY THE COMPANY,I PURCHASED IT ON MY OWN AND FORMED MY OPINION.

LOREAL PARIS REVITALIFT GIFT HAMPER REVIEW

OLA my fellow readers!!

This just dropped into my mail a few days back,you wanna know how?.

Well to be honest i just got lucky. I won a contest through instagram which was in collaboration with L'OREAL PAKISTAN.

Wondering what this beauty box contained?

1- 2 L'Oreal Revitalift night creams (one was suppose to be a day cream according to the contest,but everyone makes mistakes you know)

2-  A L'Oreal  Revitalift milky cleansing foam

3- A L'Oreal pouch to keep the products in

So i thought to review these amazing skin care products :D

REVITALIFT MOISTURIZING CREAM (NIGHT)

This night cream is a must invest for ladies between 30-80 years of age as it provides intensive care to the dull and old growing skin with it rejuvenating properties.I would really recommend this for younger and healthier looking skin,as it is also now a part of my moms night time regime.

REVITALIFT MILKY CLEANSING FOAM

Next up is this baby!! i honestly hated using facewash and facial foams due to the dryness which each left behind as i have an extra dry skin,but after using  L'Oreal milky cleasing foam my skin has never felt better.This cleasing foam has won my heart due to its moisturizing properties which are a result of glycerin that has been added to it.


L'OREAL BLACK POUCH

And last up this this comfy and sexy looking pouch which was definitely a part of the hamper to allow your products to rest in  :)

PHYSIOGEL DAILY MOISTURE THERAPY CREAM REVIEW

www.physiogel.com

Dry skin and skin sensitivity is common to many of us. To some, outbreaks are a regular and upsetting occurrence, to others, an occasional inconvenience.Similar is the case  with me.I always had the problem of choosing the right kind of product  for my overly dry and dull skin .After alot of trial & error and spending heaps of of my monthly expenditure on skin care products i came across this NOT SO FANCY brand called PHYSIOGEL.
Its packaging is not as appealing or  eye catching  like any other skin care products but as they say DO NOT JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER.

I randomly picked  up their Daily moisture therapy cream for dry and sensitive skin from my local drugstore and upon using it for a couple of times i was literally  amazed by the results which this cream had to offer.
Physiogel has basically two main product lines:

1) the Daily Moisture Therapy cream, lotion and body wash for dry, sensitive skin
2) the Calming Relief cream and lotion for dry, irritated and sensitive skin.

Physiogel  moisturising  creams  & lotions contain Physiogel BioMimic Technology, a science that works to soothe, help repair and restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier

Physiogel products have no perservatives,no perfumes ,no colorants and NO SILICONES.Yes you read it right....unlike many moisturizing creams this product does not contain silicones (which instantly makes your skin smooth ) but can really damage the skin in the long run.It  contains glycerin and other emollients which works as an effective moisturiser for softening and smoothening the skin.

Needless to say ,this product is HYPOALLERGENIC,NON COMEDOGENIC & is recommended for people having eczema and dermatitis plus it is also suitable for babies and children 

I use the daily moisture therapy cream as my everyday moisturizer and for prepping my skin before foundation .The texture is so light , non greasy and absorbs into the skin. Honestly,this product actually does what it claims.
This product is availble in 75ml a&150ml tube.I got it from my local drugstore Farids Pharmacy for PKR 1500.

Dove Intensive Repair Therapy Shampoo & Conditioner Review

www.dove.pk

Finally its time to review my all time favourite hair care brand "Dove".It has been satisfying its consumers since 1955 with the Moto of  "Be your beautiful self".Since its inception it has been very successful in producing a wide range of hair care products which have been greatly appreciated by masses throughout the world. Dove is not only used, infact it is also manufactured in Pakistan, so i would like to Thank Dove Pakistan for sending in this beautiful box of goodies which contained :

1) Dove Hair Therapy  Intense Repair Shampoo

2) Dove Hair Therapy Intense Repair Conditioner

Lets start off with the shampoo 'Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo' with keratin actives immediately repairs the hair surface, while progressively nourishing the core of each strand. Hair is reconstructed from within and is healthier with every wash. Try using Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner together for deeply nourished hair that’s free of damage, day after day.
Dove's shampoos have neutral a pH balance of 5-7 and all of them are moisturizing!
So i finally found a perfect match for my dull ,dry and brittle hair.

So next comes the 'Dove Intensive Care Hair Therapy Conditioner' which i recieved in a 180ml tube.In my opinion it is by far the most amazing conditioner which the market has to offer as it is extremely good for colour treated and dry hair.The packaging is very convenient and this too is infused with keratin active compounds which adds to its goodness.

Pros:

• Pleasant fragrance
• Makes hair soft and lustrous
• Affordable
• Convinient packaging.

CONS:

• Contains sulfates and parabens
• Overuse may dry out the scalp
• Does not prevents split ends.                                                                                                                                                                                                Ratings:7/10
