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

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.

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
