hello girls.. 2016 is about to end and everyone is sharing their favs, as u know that i started my blog this year that is why in 2015 i had alot of favs too. and i kept on using them in 2016 as well... but as i didnt have a blog then so i couldnt share my favs right? so u might think that this girl has a lot of favs so yes i do! i really like these products and i definitely love will repurchase them somewhere in the future though these might not be available now but i want to include them so lets get started. for a good makeup look u need a flawless skin as well, so lets start with the skin care first; skincare: facewash; this is the ponds facewash i love this the texture is very nice it foams up really well and it removes all the dirt and gunk of your face very well. check my complete review on this for complete details moisturizer; as u all may know that this moisturizer is my favourite i have recommended it to alot of people. this smells very good and is very light...

Ponds cold cream cleanser

Image
Hello girls so i have an early sunday morning review today on this skin care product it is supposed to be used as a makeup remover.. So i was on hunt for a good makeup remover as i have a very lil tiny bit of blemishes so i am very very careful about my skin. I got this one after hearing alot about it. The directions are to wet your face first then use this product and massage it onto your face then remove it using a wet cloth or towel. So, i have used it three times and let me tell you the oily residue will remain on your face until and unless u remove it using a wet cloth so that is a must. It removes all of the face makeup and even the waterproof mascara. It does not stung my eye and it is very gentle on the skin. And it makes my face squeaky clean. This is a very good product and is very affordable. It is retailed for different prices at different stores. I got mine for around 300pkr. Do i recommend? Yess, i do. Will i repurchase? Yess ofcourse! But i also want to try the ga...

Life amour body lotion by body luxuries.

Image
Finished this body lotion the past month. I love the body splashes from this brand so i got very excited when i saw the lotions and i had to pick one up. So i got it. It last me a year this thing was not thick well it was a lotion so.. But it was really hard to get it absorbed into my skin.. I didn't like it. I like thicker ones. So i am not gonna get it again i prefer the dove ones. It was cheap but i don't like soapy body lotions (lol, that's so weird) PRICE: it retailed for 190pkr. DO I RECOMMEND. I don't know everyone has different skin types. But it is cheap so you should give it a try. WILL I REPURCHASE? Nope... I wont.

Kiss beauty foundation illuminating primer.

Image
There are not much primers from pakistani brands i got this in august i was looking for a matte one as i have oily skin but couldn't find one.. So i got this one. It is very illuminating so u just need a lil bit of it. And just a slight touch of it in the t-zone.. It definitely makes your foundation last longer. I have found a better option and that's the sweet face matte primer. I want to get that next. So yeah i know the review is short but that's all i have to say about this.. Price: It was for 375pkr Do i recommend ? Yes, it is nice. Will i repurchase? Nope. It is not bad but u need a very lil bit of primer.. So even this thing will last me for ages so i want to try others

POND'S WHITE BEAUTY BB CREAM.

Image
Another thing which i got after hearing so much about it on youtube.. Shreya jane from sjlovesjewellery raves about this she is an indian youtuber so i had to get this.. This bb cream comes in only one shade the packaging is very sleek... This shade is ver orange for me. It says that it adjusts to your skin shade but that did not happen for me. I can use it as a corrector but whenever i wear it on its own it makes me look cakey and powdery. The texture is very good but i wish if they would come out with more shades. PRICE: it retailed for 300pkr DO I RECOMMEND? yes for darker skin tones. WILL I REPURCHASE? Nope, until and unless they come out with lighter shades.

Batiste dry shampoo

Image
I was on a hunt for a dry shampoo and surprisingly no one here at the stores even knew what a dry shampoo was. I would ask every person at the store if they had any dry shampoo but nope no one had it. I got this in october from d.watson they also had the herbal essences ones. They were larger in size and this one is a travel size both had the same prices but i got this one because i have heard about this one alot. I really like it the scent is not my fav but i don't hate it. But you need quiet a bit of it because my scalp is really oily so my hair gets very very oily and i need quiet a bit of it. It leaves a white caste but it is very easy to brush out although i have black hair. But i think that the price is a bit much for what u get. And i am always afraid to use it thinking that i will run out of it too quickly but i want to give a try to the herbal essences ones too so yup. Price: It was for 450pkr Do i recommend? Yes! I do! Will i repurchase Yes i may purchase this trav...

Herbal essences shampoo

Image
Okay, so lets talk about a fail product. This is the worst thing that i have used in years got it because everyone raved about it on youtube. So, as u all know i really like trying out new stuff and i really hate sticking to the same thing. We have used the clear shampoo for years and i was kinda getting bored so i got this one first of all my sister was very angry but i told her that it will be good because of all the created hype. We both got so much dandruff within a week. And scalps would itch so badly. Secondly, our hair would be oily the second day. A lesson learnt that never get a thing just because it is so much popular and stuff it might work for me but not for u. Everyone has their own skin types hair types and everything. The only thing that i like about this shampoo is the packaging but who cares about the packaging if the product is crap inside. Price: It was for 400pkr Do i recommend. Nope, i wont recommend it to anyone

Freeman feeling beautiful facial clay mask mint and lemon

Image
Hello i dont know if its already winter or not but no matter what taking care of your skin is an important thing. Masks are not meant to be used in summers only but u can use them anytime of the year that u like. I got this mask in oct and as u can see i have used quite a bit of it. Okay, so there was quiet a nice variety of the masks but i picked this one up because it says that it has mint and lemon and both of them are very refreshing ingredients.. The packaging is also very beautiful i really like how it looks. The texture is clay-like not too soft not too hard it is easy to spread it on your face but u will need quiet a bit of it for your whole face. It says that it clears breakouts. Well that might be true. Whenever my skin is in the worst conditions i use this and it makes it better. It makes my skin feel very tight which some of u might not like but it is not that bad. It is not too refreshing but it is alright. The smell is mild however it just smells a lil like lemons only so...

BASE: so this is what i wear for my base,, firstly i like priming my face with this mustela stelatopia cream. they sent it to me actually a while back so i like wearing that as it is a bit sticky so its nice for holding the makeup in place and i love it for that.. after that i wear this beauty cream by dove it is actually very nice i have also made a review on it if u wanna check but it makes my skin very smooth and it is very light weight and it is not sticky EYES: after my base is done i like going in with...

battle of the lipliners i own!

Image
hello girls, i m so sorry for not posting here.. i am literally so busy with my exams.. going to try to post as much as i can! today, i am going to write about the lipliners that i own! so, first of all i hate lining my lips so i don't use these lip liners for lining my lips,there are many other ways of using a lipliner! i fill my lips with the liner first and then i go with the lip product on top. it makes a huge difference in making the lipstick last loner. also i like having 5 at a time... cause most of them look similar.. i own all in pink shades. i recently go rid of a red one cause i couldn't reach for it as much as i reach for the nude pink shades! lipliners are too cheappp! SOPHIA ASLEY LIPLINER: so lets start off with the one i love the most.. it is this one by sophia asley.. these are literally so creamy they dont dry out your lips like others do.. they have a little fragrance but thats not bothering at all.. they are not those kind of perfume-i scents.. it w...

Clean and clear essentials oil control toner.

Image
Hey there, done with my exams free to review for a few days now. If u live in pakistan, then u will probably know that we thought that summer is almost over but now, uhh i cant explain how hot it is where i live. Okay, so i really sweat alot. I used this toner up. I must say that i am very lazy when it comes to using toners. I never use them. I finished this one up recently. Well, i must say it works really well. It would made my skin squeaky clean. I would use it first and then use rose water after. I am really looking forward to get another one. But, i have one problem when i use this it makes my skin feel nice and clean but after sometime it makes my t.zone oily even faster again. But anyways, i will get it. PROS: -makes skin clean -affordable. CONS: -not for lazy people PRICE: U can get it for different prices. I got this one for 450. But i can see that it is for 250 now, so that's super great!

Pond's pure white active carbon foaming facewash

Image
Ok so here comes the review of my holy grail product which i am currently using. First of all, the packaging is so beautiful it looks so elegant. Also, u have to use even little than a pea size amount. And it lathers up so nicely. I have oily skin and it removes all the gunk from my face and makes it squeaky clean. It feels so gentle on the skin, i must say this is my holy grail foaming facewash and i will continue using it. I recommend it to everyone out there. PROS: -very gentle. -very little amount is required for the full face. -makes the face squeaky clean CONS: I don't see any cons because this thing is my holy grail! PRICE: it was for 230pkr and that is extremely cheaaaaap! Go and grab it.. Asap!

Enchanter charming roll on deodorant

Image
Hello guys.. Can u people believe that this is my 3 bottle of this deodorant...okay, so lets talk about it now.. I have been using this for 3 years.. This things smells so good.. I love how it smells. It comes in a glass packaging...i liked it but now i think that once the product is half way gone it is alot harder to take the product out.. But i m a bit bored of the scent now, I just wanna take a break i wanna use some other stuff now...i won't repurchase it because i just realized that this thing does not prevent the odour of your body but it just has its own strong scent..the soap ones work alot better... PROS: -nice scent CONS: -hard to dispense... -does not prevent the bad odour. PRICE: it retailed for around 300 i guess. WOULD I REPURCHASE IT? Nope, i m not gonna repurchase any of the liquid ones again..

Glamorous face u.s.a mineral Taracotta blush and eyeshadow powder

Image
Hey guys i have been very bad in posting because of the net problems. But, hey. I m back! Okay so lets talk about a complete fail makeup product. I bought this thing back in june for eid. I thought it would make a perfect highlight. Ughh, it looks so pretty. Well, it swatches so beautifully. But, it is just full of shimmer. The only thing good about it is its packaging. I love its packaging. The product itself is not my favourite. It is a baked product. Well i myself hated baked product first. I have heard that baked products are good in pigmentation and so is this. It has two colours pink and gold. It has golden shimmer. The glitter appears alot on the place u apply it. It didn't work as a highlighter i could only see shimmer on my cheek bones. And yeah if u are wondering It swatches pink! I wear it on top of my matte eyeshadows.. But this is a huge product and i think that it will take me a decay to finish this entire thing. But lets hope for the best! PRICE: I bought it for ...

GARNIER SKIN NATURALS (LIGHT) FAIRNESS FACEWASH!

Image
hello peeps! So continuing with the skin care products. This was also one of the products mentioned in my empties. Well, lets talk about how big this thing is. It really took me like 3 months to finish it! Face Washes never last me that long. But yeah, this thing did! Okay, so it turns into a foam while u are lathering it in your hands. Foaming face washes are my favourite! They are so gentle. And they go on so smoothly on the Skin. This thing really works. It makes my face clean. It removes makeup well! I have tried removing my waterproof mascara with it and it works. But, i don't know whats the thing as i said it works well. But still its not my favourite. But the great perk is that it is hell cheappp! Yes, we gotta go for cheap products because saving money for stuff as a teenager is not easy! Go for it and buy it. PROS: - lasts long -foaming face wash -gentle -extremely cheap CONS: -don't see much about fairness -u may get bored PRICE: it was for 280pkr. Extreme...

Clean and clear morning energy skin brightening daily facia scrub

Image
Heyyy lovelies! I m sure you have seen my empties posts on insta.. This was one of the products that i finished last month.. Well, when i was starting up with skincare neutrogena was the first brand i ever used. But after that, as i had to save money for my own stuff it was a lil difficult for me to continue on that as it was expensive. I moved towards the cheaper ones. And then, i saw clean and clear. I really like clean and clear because it is not that expensive and can be afforded by teenagers easily. Well i think i have tried most of the clean and clear products available in the market. But i really don't like the exfoliating beads ones. So i try to stay away from them. Well, this one was purchased by my sis.. And she bought another one so it was just lying around i asked her if i could try it and she gave it to me. So, this product has exfoliating/scrubbing beads in there.. Well i don't know if its just me. But, umm it was not that good on my skin. Like when i used to app...

GARNIER AMBRE SOLAIRE.. SUNBLOCK.

Image
Hey.. As it is so hot outside. So lets talk about some sun protection. The weather is extremely humid and it is too hot. We have to protect our selves from the direct heat of the sun. I have tried many sunblock. This is one of them. It is an okay sun block. The problem with me is that no matter what kind of sunblock i try it will make my face sweaty in summers. I hate it. This one is also the same. It is very oily makes my face sweaty. I really don't think that there will be a sunblock which is affordable and does not make my skin sweaty. I really don't think that i can point out any pros and cons because i don't like it. PRICE: It was for 350 or 400 i dont remember.

GARNIER FRUCTIS ULTRA STRONG HOLD HAIRSPRAY

Image
I never take care of my hair the way i do of my skin. The only thing i do for my hair is using coconut oil in my hair. I got this hairspray for eid ul fitr 2015. I wanted to make curls but it was too damn hot that i didn't. Well, i just spray it on my hair when i use some hot tool on my hair. I had one before this which was also from garnier... But it went bad and i threw it away.. Then i picked this one up. I hate the smell of garnier's hairsprays... It holds the hairstyle well. But i hate the smell. However, i m just not gonna repurchase this because of its smell. I have recently discovered one by L'Oréal and i will go for that. But i really don't need a hairspray. PROS: -holds on hairstyle for well -affordable. CONS: -strong smell. PRICE: It was for 350pkr...

KRYOLAN TV PAINT STICK FOUNDATION.

Image
Hey guys... The weather is extremely hot. The only things girls are upto nowadays is just skin care well i am! no, girl can wear makeup in this humid weather. But there is nothing wrong in writing review about makeup right? Atleast we can do that yay... So today i am going to write my review on the kryolan tv paint stick its a foundation great for people with oily skin. Lets start off with the packaging. It is a grey tube. The tube is very chubby so thats good because u are getting what u r paying for. The foundation is thick and is not suitable for people with dry skin. However, it a great option for people with oily skin. I,love it. Some people also use it as foundation and that works great as well. But i haven't tried it as a concealer because i think that it is a bit too thick for that purpose. But it gives extremely full coverage. And stays on for long too. PROS: -good for oily skin -full coverage -alot of product CONS: -not suitable for dry skin PRICE: I really don...

PONDS MOISTURIZING COLD CREAM.

Image
hey, today i m gonna be reviewing something related to skincare. This is the pond's moisturizing cold cream. This is a very thick moisturizing cream. Which u really have to work with to make sure that it gets absorb into your skin. As the consistency is so thick so its not good for oily ppl. Because the oil will make it more difficult for u to make the skin absorb it. I can say that it is a product for ppl with drt skin. But its sticky as well. I myself personally support ponds i have used its facewash and other creams and some of them are my favs but i don't like this product. Not gonna purchase it again even if it was cheap. U can save um the lil Pennys and go for products which u will actually use. Plus it is a cold cream so it is meant to be used in winters. PROS: • cheap •maybe good for dry skin i m not sure. CONS: • thick consistency •sticky •not for oily skin PRICE: I bought this product a while back i dont exactly remember the price but i ...

SWEET TOUCH YOUNG SKIN FOUNDATION

Image
Hey there, i m here with another review. So, as we all know that the weather is extremely humid, and we cannot put on makeup. No matter whatever your wear underneath your makeup primers anything but your makeup will always end up melting off. But we can wear makeup when summers are over so, Today i m gonna be reviewing the sweet touch foundation this shade is extremely light. I don't prefer face products in liquid form i prefer the ones in stick forms. So i never wear it. Maybe i have tried it twice and that's it. Now this foundation comes in a glass tube the pump is not good for dispensing out makeup. Sometime it will pop out alot more than u actually need the foundation is kinda good provides nice coverage. I cant tell anything much because i never wore it. It was a bit on the expensive side. But this one is in the old packaging they recently change the packaging and reformulated it. I m not gonna try the new one because its a liquid product. It was for 1200 i think? Not su...

Christine compact powder - fair 904

Image
This is the first compact powder that i have ever bought. I always need a setting powder, i have oily skin duh, the worst thing but hopefully we can find good cheap products at our local stores. First my mom got it and she asked me to try it. I did, and i loved the way it felt. The next time i also bought it. Cause i thought that i need a separate one for myself! The shade and everything is just amazing on me. PACKAGING: It is a black case i m not a great fan of its packaging. The writing wore off within 5 days. PRODUCT: The product however is very nice, provides a lil bit of coverage, has an spf of 30. Perfect for the summers. It is very smooth as well. Comes with a nice cusion applicator. PRODUCTS: -provides coverage -has spf -makes the makeup stay longer -absorbs any kind of oil CONS: - packaging maybe? PRICE: It retailed for 270-300 i think. I dont remember the exact price. I like this product, maybe u dont like it? My reviews are on my opinions. I think there are no ...

Essence single eyeshadow! Metallic effect (77 - sandy says hello)

Image
Hey there! Sorry i have been busy in eid preparation. Have to post two reviews frequently so as to balance with my insta blog. Okay, so u may have heard of essence. It is available at the store from where i do most of my makeup shoppings so i have got quite a bit of essence products! So, this is the first product ever that i bought from the store as well it was my first essence product. Now, coming to the packaging, it is a clear packaged eyeshadow i guess i can say? hahaha. Well i really like the packaging coz u can see whats the shade if u have alot! The pan is very big for an eyeshadow. I was very much disappointed from this thing like seriously? When i saw this shade i was like i have to buy it. I swatched it and iw as in love. But i didnt know that it would be a fail. When i came home and started experimenting with it the top part was coming off. Sadly, it was just a sprayed glitter layer that came off. The pigmentation is till good as u can see from the swatch but what was that?...
