Looking for an affordable, black, matte eyeliner? Here it is.


About three months back, when I finally decided that I need to change my eyeliner, I rushed to the market to get one for me. I have been a fond of eyeliner, and like every other girl, I want my wing to be on fleek.
I had never tried a gel eyeliner before, so wanted to stick to liquid eyeliner because I had enough practice with liquid ones and I thought they are more easier (no, it's not like that. I'll tell you how I got to know that when I'll review Rimmel Londen Waterproof Gel Eyeliner). Usually liquid eyeliners are not completely matte. I used to use Oriflame The One Liquid Eyeliner (the purple tube) and it was an amazing black, matte eyeliner but wasn't water proof and I wanted to get myself a waterproof eyeliner.
On trying different eyeliners, there! I found it. Essence waterproof liquid ink eyeliner. It was blackest black (okay 2 or 3 coats make it blackest black), matte YESSS! and waterproof. And yes, quite economical too.
I bought it from D.Watson for Rs. 550/- and that is quite affordable specially when your previous eyeliners cost around 1000 pkr. Buying it was a pretty nice decision because it was good in all ways. The eyeliner tip was also thin and helped in creating a nice wing.
Overall, I would recommend it to everyone who is a fond of eyeliners.

Pros:


  • It is matte
  • Waterproof
  • Blackest black
  • Budget friendly
  • Has a nice tip


Cons:

Not any, I'd rate it 10/10 :)
I hope you liked the review. Do try and let me know how you liked it. :)

Here's a swatch of the eyeliner. (Don't mind how my hands look, it isn't dryness. I tested a foundation here first :p )

REVIEW: FRUITIEN JUICES

Detailed review:


A few days back, I got Fruitien Juices in my mail. I received juices in 6 different flavors. They were mango, apple, grapes, orange, peach and 10 fruits juice.
First of all, the packaging of the parcel was too good. There were two small boxes containing 3 packs of juice each, packed in a big box along with a few certificates that showed how the juices are halal and hygienic too.
I was really impressed with the company's act of sending certificates along. This ensures that not only they are halal, but totally healthy and hygienic too.
Then, talking about the taste, it kind of resembles Nestlé's Fruitavitals that's an international brand and is liked by many people. The best ones I found were chaunsa nectar and grape juice. Unlike many other Pakistani juice brands, the taste was quite balanced and wasn't extra sweet.
Not only taste, these juices can be a perfect, healthy addition to your breakfast and diet as they have a good amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.  Fruitien offers a wide range of flavors that are all equally healthy and equally delicious.

Why should you try Fruitien Juices? 

  • They are healthy and hygienic. 
  • Wide range of flavors. 
  • 100% halal. 
  • Perfect, balanced taste. 
  • Rich in nutrients. 
  • Affordable

Take care 😊

Best acne treatment products that you need to try


Acne has always been a problem for people with oily skin. Although I have a normal to combination skin type but I do have seasonal acne breakouts. Reasons include stress, over thinking, less water intake, improper diet or menstrual cycle. I've tried so many products for this problem including pond's, garnier, himalaya but the best ones so far are from Oriflame Pure Skin Range.
I tried their facewash, toner and blackheads clearing mask.
The entire Pure Skin Range has salicylic acid in it that is known to treat acne. 
Here's what I have to say about the products:

Pure skin facewash:

The facewash is gel like in consistency. It gives a refreshing feel on the skin and has a fresh fragrance. It makes skin oil free for a long period unlike other facewashes that I have tried that drive the oil away but the skin gets oily after an hour or two. 
Another great thing about it is that it doesn't over dry the skin. That's great for people like normal to combination skin. 

Pure skin toner:

The toner helps a lot with closing pores and drying the pimples so they can go away easily. It also prevents the skin from getting dirty.  
Trust me toning is necessary, you shouldn't skip this step. 

Blackheads clearing mask:

Okay, this mask is not meant for blackheads only. This helps with whiteheads too. I have never had blackheads issue but I bought it for a few whiteheads on my nose. I use this twice a week and it works great. 

Tip:

It's better to use these three products together, I have been using the facewash and toner in the morning and at night everyday. The mask can be used daily or after one day if you have serious blackheads problem but I used it twice a week. 

Pros:

  • Very effective
  • Results start showing in a month
  • Products don't over dry the skin
  • Mattify the skin
  • Skin feels clearer
  • Tightens the pores and prevent further breakouts
  • Good amount of product. 

Cons:

Not any. These are my holy grail products. 

Overall, these are the best products that I have tried so far. Price may seem high but the quantity is good so they can be used for 2, 3 months. You should definitely give the products a try. 
Do try and tell me how you liked them :)

Great products for new born babies and their mommies

Hi guys. Hope you all are doing well. I was a little busy last week so couldn't write a blog about Mustela pk products for new born babies and their mothers. They sent me a few samples to review and I wanted to write a post earlier but couldn't find time to do so. I gave these samples to my cousin for her baby and I'm going to share her experience with the products.


So, here are the products that they sent me:

  • Vitamin Barrier Cream:

This is a nappy rash cream for delicate skin that helps with early signs of diaper rash. This is quite gentle to skin and it isn't necessary to use it on rashes, but can be used daily while changing diaper to prevent the redness and irritation that results in nappy rash. 

  • Hydra Be`be` Body Lotion:
 This lotion is an amazing lotion, specially formulated for delicate skin. It gets absorbed quickly and keeps the skin hydrated. In my opinion, even grown ups with sensitive skin can use this lotion to keep their skin hydrated.


  • Facial Cream:

The facial cream contains jojoba oil and shea butter in it and leaves the skin super hydrated, soft and silky. It protects the baby's skin and leaves it moisturized. It is free of harmful chemicals and harsh smell.
  • Emollient Cream:
This cream is formulated for eczema prone skin or very dry skin in new born babies. It replenishes the skin's lipids, nourishes the surface and soothes irritation and itching. I have not personally used this nor has my cousin used it on her baby but according to some other reviews, this is an amazing cream to fight eczema in babies.

Overall Experience:

My overall experience with the products say that these are worth a try. Do try them for your babies and yourselves. They are available at Graco Baby Shops :)
