 Juicy Couture Spray Pen Set- Spray Pen Set  at Sephora




 Spray Pen Set ($48 Value) for $35
Once upon a time, in a land some call La La, there were two nice girls named Pam and Gela who discovered the Juicy Couture world of fashion and fun, fun, fun. They took a deep breath and realized this is how The Juicy Girls smell the world! Mix these light and luscious fragrances with love and make the world smell good.


This set contains:
- 3 x 0.33 oz Eau de Parfum Sprays in Juicy Couture, Viva La Juicy, Couture Couture


This is so tempting  !! I am going through a perfume phase , and i haven't tried Juicy Couture yet so this could be a prefect set for trying these fragrances before indulging in to full size product .

E.L.F Studio Blush Review - Mellow Mauve



What it is:
The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!

sorry i couldnt find my camera cable so i am stuck with phone's camera hence crappy pics.

 The packaging of the blushes are similar to that of NARS blushes.Mellow Mauve blush is a mauve with brown undertones, not really true to name. The colour is a cool toned berry colour.


 The color payoff isn't bad, but it's not overly pigmented. In fact i was bit disappointed when i swatched this blush , i had high hopes for this product. Mellow Mauve also looks pretty in the pan but when swatched, brush barely picks up any color. 

Below swatches are good 3 swipes , you can get the idea what i am talking about  regarding pigmentation






Maybe i will use some othet brush. I was using elf lush brush before I need a couple of strokes on my brush before getting any color payoff. 


This is the only con i have for this product.Maybe it could a pro for some who prefers a sheer blush.
What i liked in ELF blushes is that how subtle the shimmers are in them.Texture wise , ELF blushes have a silky smooth feel and blend easily onto skin.

ELF blushes are affordable and Anyone looking for a nice, subtle blush , this would be a great addition to your collection.

You can buy this from  eyeslipsface.com
for $ 3, do watch out for frequent promotions and discount codes.


Do you own any ELF studio blush? any favourites?

L’Oréal Paris New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream - Review

Water is essential for not only providing hydration to our internal organs, but also for maintaining skin hydration. It is important to keep skin moisturized because the sun’s UV rays and pollution tend to damage the collagen structure that supports the skin, making it duller and more prone to losing its youthfulness if not properly moisturized. That is why it is important to protect the skin barrier.

New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream and Facewash is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid & Lipidure Lock-In Captors, a L’Oréal Paris Patented Technology and pure SPA water which helps to repair and strengthen the skin surface cellular armor to block moisture evaporation. Directly extracted from the French Vosges Mountain, this natural water is incredibly pure and rich in essential minerals: Copper [Cu++] known for its skin-healing and anti-inflammatory properties, Manganese [Mn++] known for its skin-healing and anti-oxidant properties, Calcium [Ca++] known to stimulate skin cohesion and Magnesium [Mg++] to help restore the skin barriers function.
This first of its kind formula also includes Vitamins B5, for its soothing and repairing properties making skin smoother and more luminous and Cg and E for their antioxidant properties.


 Okay first , the packaging of Loreal Hydrafresh moisturize !!,It comes  in a frosted hollow jar with a content of 50ml and sealed in a carton box. The packaging is "Pink" in color and so is the cream inside, which is a light baby pink color with subtle smell. I love the smell of this cream. Its very refreshing and light.


To be honest i like my moisturizer to be rich in texture like my good old Korres wild rose moisturizer . The texture of  New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream OH-so light, its a combination of a gel/creme type .It even feels so great on skin, cobination of smell and texture makes the whole procedure refreshing .I use L’Oréal Paris New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream on  those days when my skin is feeling thirsty rather than dry. I consider it a summer cream rather than a winter one. I think it would be good for summer. New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream doesnt make my skin greasy or oily :)


Almost after a year of mentioning that i have dry skin , i think my skin is now combination , you know what i mean ? You know dry on the cheeks and oily on T zone,which also gets shiny toward the end of the day. I dont know what else i have to go through regarding my skin.
I have been using Hydrafresh cream for more than 2 weeks and i haven't noticed any huge difference in my skin. But i am glad that if it didn't bring any changes to my dull skin , then it didn't even give me break outs

If you have a skin which needs constant hydration like mine, and if you are looking for a moisturizer which isn't heavy on skin and refreshing then try L’Oréal Paris New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream.

L’Oréal Paris New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream and Facewash is appropriate and advisable for women of all ages and is ideally used daily on a cleansed face. Priced at PKR 550 and PKR 375 respectively, the New Hydrafresh Aqua Cream and Face Wash is now available at all L’Oréal Paris counters across the country.

NOTD & Review - Eyeko Chi Chi Polish




Eyeko Chi Chi Polish NEW 
For instant embellishment layer up Eyeko Chi Chi Polish for intense glitter coverage. Pink glitters suspended in baby pink polish make for the ultimate girlie nail shade.



A while ago , Eyeko added two more fun polishes to their line: Punk Polish and Chi Chi Polish.
Eyeko Chi Chi Polish is nail polish with lots of pink glitters that are suspended in a baby pink polish as a base. I find it quite sheer but is definitely build-able.
One coat was bit sheer for my taste to be honest so i layered CHICHI  over few other pink nail colors i owned.



1 - Maxfactor disco pink
2- Rimmel Speed Dating
3-Sleek Makeup Nailed polish in Pastel Pink 
and
4- Luscious Caramel

It looked gorgeous on Sleek Makeup Nailed polish in Pastel Pink  and i shall post a full NOTD.

Glitter nail polish can be particularly hard to remove , I always use basecoat or removal procedure will take longer.
I Press the cotton ball on a fingernail and i  count till 20. I don't move the cotton ball at all while pressing on it.
Slowly pull the cotton ball off the edge of the fingernail. Most if not all of the glitter polish should adhere to the cotton ball. If there is any left, wipe gently but firmly again.Take a new cotton pad and repeat on the rest of your nails.

Price : £3.50
You can buy this from : Eyeko Chi Chi Polish



Have you tried eyeko polishes? do you like glitter nail polishes?

Review & Lip Swatch- Lip Gloss by Niki Faith


Lip Gloss by Niki Faith in Cat fight & Make a wish
NikiFaith has designed a lip gloss that has quickly become Everyone's Favorite!  NikiFaith lip glosses are infused with Vitamin E and Green Tea to pamper lips and provide high shine. Brilliant and translucent, these glosses can be worn alone for sheer color shine or layered on top of a lipstick for a beautiful lacquered effect.



Make a wish - barely-there sheer pink with gold  shimmer
Cat Fight - sheer berry with shimmer
 
I really like the consistency of these lip glosses. They aren't sticky and they dont have any kind of smell, which is a huge Plus point in my books.
They have a number of different shades to choose from..I got two shades for review, Make a wish - barely-there sheer pink with gold  shimmer and , Cat Fight - sheer berry with shimmer.

 Over all Although these lip glosses are sheer in natural, they do show up on my lips bit barely , just not as much as other lip glosses. I like my lip glosses to be bit opaque so i will mostly using them over some lipsticks.
Price: $14.00
You can buy these at : aestheticartistry.com
