This has to be my favorite among all of Cellnique products i received. I normally use it after cleansing , and using serum,
i take two drop with the help of droplets , as 2 drops are sufficient for my entire face. I apply it on my cheeks, chin and forehead first, and smooth the leftover essence over the rest of my face. 5 minutes is more than enough for my skin to absorb it completely. Its leaves my skin radiant , smooth , soft and makes it look bright. When applied on skin , it looks oily at first but it absorbs completely after 3-5 mins . I would recommend it to those girls who want a bright , smooth skin.
Over all I wouldnt say it was out of this world product but it helped my skin a bit when i needed it most

For the past few weeks I've been using Cellnique  Oxygen Regenerating Cream .I really like the texture of this cream Plus this product is lightweight even at full strength.I love this stuff! Unfortunately, I have no evidence that this is correcting/preventing any pigmentation or skin discoloration but i can say that it moisturizes my skin well.I love it! It's super soft and creamy, without making my skin greasy (that is very important because i don't like oily feeling on my face in summers). 
Now in the end my face after few weeks of usage , i know you might not feel a much difference but , i know my skin is less blotchy , thirsty , patchy . I am keeping my fingers crossed for better continuous results in coming weeks as i have still lots of Cellnique products lefts in jar and bottle to use.
What do you use for a radiant skin?
If you've tried this product, or any others of Cellnique , please leave a comment!

Illamasqua Powder Blusher- Expose Review ,Photos & Swatch

I discovered Illamasqua a few months ago  , when i started blogging , it is Cult favourite of so many bloggers .

I am such a blusher freak these days, that i can look at my blusher collection whole day, i Love blushes, because they bring such a powerful change to any look. I was so excited to see Illamasqua Powder Blusher Expose in my package,


What it is?

Illuminate, radiate, make your face come alive with the colour and drama of Illamasqua Powder Blusher. Colour-intense and highly pigmented, use it to shade, brighten, enhance and define the shape of your face. Be bold, be daring, be the centre of attention.

Shade: Soft terracotta, matt finish

 Price: £16.00
Texture:Texture is really nice, It is very finely milled and silky,its the smoothest ,pigmented blush i have ever used with No sheen/shimmer, completely matte. 
I am loving Corals and peaches this summer, i bought coral lipsticks and blushes in last few months.Expose is such a beautiful coral shade(although illamasqua described it as terracotta), It brings gorgeous warmth to the face.
This blush is highly pigmented. so a little goes a long way.The color is really intense.While applying,you just  need a light hand applying with this , what i do is , just swirl mt blush brush lightly around in the pan and then tap off the excess, otherwise it picks up excess powder. The best thing is it lasts all day, which is very important to me as my make up hardly stays in this scrooching hot summer.
 Expose just gives this beautiful radiance, glow  to my face:))) 
I am not a big fan of shimmer in blushers , but still i own mostly blushes with shimmer in them, so Expose is quite a nice change to my blusher stash with No shimmer, Its completely matte.It build able, you can wear it sheer , or built a bold look by layering it.
For  £16.00 , some might think that its tad bit expensive but i don't think this way , for this price we are getting such a high quality pigmented blush, with such nice wide pan so its easy to handle a medium/large brush. 
 Over all, perfect shade for summers, you can pair it up neutral eyes during daytime or make it dramatic for a night out .

You can order Illamasqua through Sephora website in the US or illamasqua online store 
 
 I love Illamasqua blushes! I'm sure i will be slowly building my collection .
Do you have any favorite Illamasqua blusher?
Comment below and share with me :)

Hi Fi Shadows Review with EOTD

 I am overdue with this review, i took swatches like 2 months ago when i was sent these samples to try and give my feedback by veronica,and i  was all caught up in traveling and life , until i was storing my newly bought makeup and i found these samples, I knew i had to do a look with them 

Hi-Fi Cosmetics is creation of Veronica, and she creates the most unique, handmade, and highly pigmented mineral cosmetics with lots of sparkle and huge color payoff. This etsy shop is quite popular among many blogger , and mineral makeup lovers.


 (Shadows swatched without any base or primer)

 DIRTY WORD WITCHCRAFT is a sheer black with color-shifting iridescence! Dark and mysterious
PARENTAL ADVISORY is a screaming fuschia with tons of pink sparkle!
STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL is a shimmering royal blue.
PSYCHO MIND is a very dark and complex asylum of color-shifting magic!


I am wowed by the gorgeous colors, Seriously , look at Dirty word witchcraft, stunning NO? Its so Beautiful with mostly sea green , blue shimmer,My favorite, Psycho Mind is mind blowing, It's metallic, and mostly comprised of sparkles, which makes it  to create the  beautiful holographic effect you can imagine. I loved the texture, and pigmentation of the shadows.  They blend beautifully and The colors adhere to the skin quite nicely and a little goes a long way. Beat part is that They do blend the minerals themselves, these aren't the repackaged pigments. 

Her Etsy shop is very easy to navigate and full of information.  Each product is swatched beautifully. She not only sells shadows, gel blushes, and few other beautiful products .I loved her gel blush in Amore so much that i am planning to order a full size( Once Paypal makes it to Pakistan).





*I have used hificosmetics's Psycho Mind and Struggle for control in above look.*

You can follow/ fan  hificosmetics so you never miss any update, and (she releases new shades quite regularly!)


Deal Alert:From now until June 30th, you can take 25% off any order of $40 or more!!! That's right, a minimum of $10 in savings! Just make sure to mention coupon code 25OFF40 in the message section at checkout, and DO NOT CHECK OUT USING PAYPAL until you receive a revised invoice!!! :)

Shipping:
Veronica(hificosmetics) ship internationally ,hipping cost is the same for domestic and international orders.My packagearrived in plastic baggies via bubble mailers safely

 Over all , i loved the Hi Fi Shadows as much as i loved the gel blush in Amore.

Homemade Tinted Moisturizer- Easy

Living in Pakistan , sometimes means, not having some of the  World's famous brands, Their L.E Collections, loads of Fake Chanel, M.A.C, Anna sui and so on.
So while i was in Lahore last week ,and i went to look for a tinted moisturizer, which sadly i didnt find,Usually S.A will try and convince me to buy their foundations but i politely told them i already have like 10 foundations at home( yes! i have a problem)
Anyways i will share some easy homemade tinted moisturizer methods for my fellow Pakistani girls and who ever want to try it, which i have been using for quite a sometime.
I always try to wear a very natural and even looking skin tone when i go out.

What is tinted moisturizer? 


Tinted moisturizer combines the benefits of skin care and a light foundation for a natural, luminous complexion. 

Advantages:
  • Light coverage, not a heavy look
  • Most provide SPF protection
  • Provides a moisturizer and cosmetic in one application
  • Easy and quick to apply
  • Most last all day
  • Available in varying shades to match every skin tone
  • 2 products in 1 is less expensive
  • A tinted moisturizer is made by most cosmetic companies which means a wide selection to choose from
Disadvantages:
  • Won't cover blemishes as well as traditional foundation
  • May give shiny appearance to skin
  • May not offer enough coverage for some women

Glossicious favorite method for making your own tinted moisturizer at home is to use your favorite moisturizer and mix it with mineral makeup. High quality mineral makeup almost seems to dissolve when mixed with moisturizer and when you apply this homemade tinted moisturizer to your face, it creates light, even coverage as well as the soft glow characteristic of mineral makeup .
You should not have trouble incorporating your mineral foundation with your moisturizer. If you find that your mineral makeup is difficult to dissolve in the moisturizer, you probably bought a poor quality mineral makeup. Consider trying another brand if this occurs.
Not into minerals?
New York Color makeup artist Mathew Nigara says that a great way to make tinted moisturizer is to create a mixture of one-third foundation to two-thirds moisturizer in the palm of your hand. Then apply to face with a damp sponge. Gently push the mixture into the skin, focusing mostly on the center of the face and the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin)
Regular liquid foundations also work great as tinted moisturizers when mixed with your face moisturizer .
My combination is usually two parts moisturizer plus one part foundation , then I swirled and mix them both together in palm of my hand with my finger and then apply all over my face.
Another advantage to mixing your own tinted moisturizer is that you can easily adjust the color. If you need more coverage, add more foundation. Want a tinted moisturizer to match and enhance your tanned, summer glow? Just mix in a little powdered bronzer into your homemade tinted moisturizer.
Quick Tip: I have found that one of the easist and least messy ways to mix your own tinted moisturizer is to use a mini plastic cosmetics spatula (available at most beauty supply stores). These little spatulas make scooping out powdered mineral makeup and mixing it into the moisturizer a snap and they’re also great for scraping that last bit of product from the bottom of a cosmetics jar.

Tips :Add a bit of powdered bronzer to your tinted moisturizer during the summer to make your skin look like it's been in the sun.

You may need to use concealer with your mineral tinted moisturizer to cover imperfections. 

I wish to try
  •  Laura Mercier oil free Tinted Moisturizer  ,  
  • Korres Watermelon Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 ,
  • Aveda Inner Light Tinted Moisture SPF 15,
  • Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer With Sunscreen SPF 20
  •  Estee Lauder DayWear Plus Multi Protection Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15

Whats on your Tinted moisturizer wish list?
Have you tried Homemade tinted moisturizer Ever before?
Which is your favorite Tinted Moisturizer

BlackHead Removal: Home Made Remedies

*This Post is for you Alvira*
Who says, having a clean and clear skin is a costly affair? If you do not want to spend your hard earned money on expensive scrubs, gels, creams, strips and extractors to remove blackheads, here come the best home remedies to cure your blackheads.
Whether you are removing blackheads with a special blackhead remover or with a simple cotton ball, one thing is for certain...they can be easily removed as long as you know what you are doing. Just remember to not apply too much pressure, and properly clean and soften the face before attempting to remove the blackhead. Whatever you do, do not pick at your blackhead, this will only create more of a problem.


  Fenugreek (Methi in Urdu and Hindi)
Fenugreek is a powerful anti-blackhead herb. To cure your blackheads crush some fenugreek leaves and make a paste with water. Apply this on the affected area, say face, for about 10 minutes. And rise with lukewarm water. This will curtail blackhead growth. For clear skin, free from blackheads, apply this paste every night before bed.

    Curd
Mix 1 teaspoon of curd and rice flour to make a paste. Apply it on the blackhead affected area. And wash your face with cold water.

Baking Soda & Water
a) This is a blackhead extraction method. By mixing equal amounts of baking soda and water, make a solution and rub it for few minutes. Now wash off with luke warm water and some of your blackheads would be removed.
 
Honey
Honey is really good for your skin. If you apply warm honey on the affected area and wash it after 10 minutes, you will benefit a lot. Honey will act as a natural peel to your blackhead affected skin. Besides, removing blackheads, it will also improve your skin.

Honey and cinnamon powder
Make a paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder in a bowl. Apply this paste on the blackheads before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. Repeating this for two weeks will remove blackheads 

Fuller's earth(multani mutti),, glycerin soap and almond powder
Put in the exact ratio of 1:2:4, fuller's earth, glycerin soap, and almond powder in warm water to make a smooth paste. Now put it over your blackheads. Keep it for some time and then wash of.

Or instead, mix a pinch of glycerin soap with table salt and apply it on your blackheads. Within a week, you will notice the good results.
   Lemon Juice
a) Lemon is another gift from nature to have an ever shiny skin. Squeeze a piece of lemon to get its juice, and put it directly on the affected areas. Repeat this twice-thrice a day. It will clear your skin of blackheads by tightening your pores.

Potatoes
This one works against your pimples, wrinkles, whiteheads and blackheads! Just grate one potato and apply it directly on the problem area. It is that simple!

Tomato 

Put a rub of tomato pulp on pimple, spot or blackhead, before going to bed. Leave on until the morning, then wash face. It will be dreid up at tomato has a natural antiseptic property within it.

 Blackhead removal Strips
Blackhead removal strips are readily available and are easy to use.Some of the blackhead removal products works to remove your black head,although it's not 100 % percent effective.  I have used Ponds and Rivaj Nose Pore Cleansing Strips , Ponds wae useless but i loved the Rivaj Nose Pore Cleansing Strips .I read good things about biore strips too.
*Read My Rivaj Nose Pore Cleansing Strips review

Steaming 
Steaming is also beneficial as it opens and softens the pores for easy removal of blackheads. 

Green Tea Scrub
To loosen the blackheads use a face scrub of Green Tea.Some people use green tea as an exfoliator that can help get rid of blackheads

Blackheads often appear on the nose, under the eyes or on cheeks, and they can make a seemingly even complexion look flawed. They’re the result of clogged pores, so it’s important to keep your face clean and moisturized, but you can get rid of blackheads if you already have them.

Korres Abyssinia Oil Volumizing Mascara -Brown





What it is:
A dramatically volumizing mascara that delivers a fantastically fuller set of lashes.

What it does:
Korres Abyssinia Oil Volumizing Mascara is enriched with Abyssinia oil, a conditioning botanical that builds volume and length for lush, gorgeous, natural-looking lashes you will love.

Shade:
Black
Brown
Blue /cobalt blue

Texture:
The texture is good balance between wet and creamy and actually evenly coated my lashes.


It's very hydrating and very lengthening, but volume? Not so mush.
I also liked the brush, it was slender which makes it easy to handle and makes the application a breeze  even at the tightest corner without making a mess. The bristles are good in term of separating my lashes and keeping them curl,it coats my lashes all the way to to tips.I have naturally very dark lashes, you brown was more of golden brown on my lashes whenever light reflected

Overall, a really good mascara for natural and neural , non-dramatic look ,  - Korres always surprises me with their products (their shadows are great, too.Review here). 


Have you ever used brown mascara?
