L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara Review

L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara Review

L’Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes -Black Mascara : Review, Photos

L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara  '(PKR 2000)is one of products which made it to my weekly favorites.It took me sometime to fall in love with the mascara but Boy ! i am 60% sure that it can be my HG mascara #2, first one being Bourjous volume clubbing mascara.


The Millionizer Brush has a multitude of bristles which separate lashes for a fanned-out effect. The elastomer applicator is ultra flexible with both long and short bristles to coat lashes. The Excess Wiper removes excess mascara: no overload, no clumps. It leaves the brush coated with just the right amount of formula to achieve a volumized appearance with no overload and no clumps.
L’Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes -Black Mascara : Review, Photos

If you are like me, then probably packaging was the first thing you will notice.It comes in a flashy gold and black tube. I have thin sparse lashes, the brush works great,The excess wiper allows it picks up right amount of product and manages to separate them nicely.The bristles are short and made of plastic and coats lashes well.What i love about this mascara is the when i am wearing it , it looks so natural. My go to look is, for face is use bourjois healthy mix foundation,I curl my lashes,Apply loads of L’Oreal volume million lashes mascara , apply essence Miami roller girl blush , and finish off with Revlon color burst balm 210 unapologetic , and i am good to go.It gives my barely there lashes , bit of volume ,curl and makes them appear naturally thick, If used with an eyelash curler, the pairing could result in beautiful looking lashes, One con though , if you aren’t careful , it can clump the lashes. 
The shade is black, REAL black, you can guess from the photos that it manages to make my lashes stand out. It feels so light weight, doesnt weigh down the lashes at all and it isnt waterproof but manages to last more than 8 hours on me in this heat.The removal is pretty easy, i use bioderma makeup remover but any eyemakeup remover will get the job done.Only con i could find is that it is ridiculously expensive.

Tip of the day - Home remedies for treating oily skin


Tip of the day - Home remedies for treating oily skin:

1-Mix honey with some lemon juice. Apply the paste evenly on face, neck and back. Leave it on for at least 5-10 minutes. This also acts as natural skin bleach and controls oil production to some extent.
Other than this, 
2-you can apply aloe vera on your face as it has
excellent skin healing properties.

Current Favorite Makeup Products - June(weekly)


Hello my sunshine! Can you believe it’s already June, 2014 is flying and so far this year has been amazing and I got to try new makeup products but my main focus is on using the products I already have because it hurts real bad when something barely used expires or worse your butter fingers manage to shatter not one but 2 of beloved blushes(I am looking at my Tarte exposed and wet n wild blush).
So my aim for coming months was to dig into existing makeup stash and I am here today with some of products I rediscovered and some new bits I used more than any others in last week or ten days. And  in next week I will review products shown below .

My go to look was mostly wear either Bourjois healthy mix or Korres tinited moisturser , apply loads of L’Oreal volume million lashes mascara , apply essence Miami roller girl blush , and finish off with Revlon color burst balm 210 unapologetic


Let’s talk about Revlon color burst balm, have you tried these? If not then you are really missing out something. They are creamy, feels minty and so pigmented. I can’t get enough of these. I am obsessed with Revlon color burst balm 210 unapologetic .Its a bright almost neon coral with pink undertone. It screams summer to me.  When I wasn’t wearing Revlon unapologetic, I was wearing Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipsticks #105. It is mid tone neutral brown, which is a MLLB shade on me.  It has a slight fruity scent and have medium coverage color. The finish is creamy and matte but with bit of sheen which can be controlled with a light blot.
After such a long time rediscovered Bourjois Healthy mix foundation, I loved it then and I remember why ? It has a semi-matte dewy finish. It makes skin feel radiant, supple and soft but it has tendency to get a bit shiny/oily on combination and/or oily skin.When i am in hurry and i needed a fool proof face makeup, i used  KorresWatermelon Lightweight Tinted Moisturiser  is is very light , and it spreads easily and evenly ,leaving a dewy finish.The Coverage is of course sheer but i wont call it too sheer. It did cover my small imperfections. 
 L’Oreal volume million lashes mascara in black was a gift, I love the beautiful flashy gold packaging and I can say , I didn’t like it when I started using it but it sort grew on me, It gives my barely there lashes , bit of volume ,curl and makes them appear naturally thick, If used with an eyelash curler, the pairing could result in beautiful looking lashes, One con though , if you aren’t careful , it can clump the lashes. Essence Miami roller girl blush – dates on the skates is one of the pretty looking blush I own. The beautiful ombre going on is hard to miss and it sold out in a jiffy when it was launched on just4girls.pk and in stores. But it is now available at just4girls.pk in a different packaging so I insist you to grab it before its gone. The blush is LOVE,  the shade are gradient from orange, peach coral and pink. You can wear them on their own or mix them all together to get a oft coral shade which I believe complements desi skin tones. For nails I pretty much wore Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Pacific blue. It’s a vibrant periwinkle blue with crème formula. The color is beautiful and the formula is effortless. Real technique blush brush is one hell of a blush brush, its pink, its soft and its a perfect size for my face. It doesnt shed, dries quickly and looks pretty :D Rimmel London Exaggerate Liquid Eye Liner - waterproof is intense black and real does last long, The applicator is so easy to use and create beautiful winged eyeliner. This eyeliner deserve a review on its own , so stay tuned.
