Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner

I have always made it a point to include a toner in my skin care routine.But the results have been sort of borderline at best. All the toners that i have been able to try out have been from the western brands (with loads of alcohol) and there was a time i stopped using them completely , simply because they were drying my combination skin to an extent that it started to flake .Not a good look when you have to contend with acne as well.
I got a sample of this toner with my first innisfree purchase and decided to give it a try.

Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask - Review

This mask is one of those products that i have been coveting from afar for a very long time , with no way to get my hands on it ( as innisfree is not available in Pakistan).Well .... long story short , dad's trip to Malaysia provided me with the opportunity to get my hands on a few products from the brand , including this much anticipated clay mask.

Lemon power

Winter weather brings with it dry flaky skin and rough hands , feet.Even as a teenager i never had as much issue with skin care in summer as i had in winter.All of my skin care regimen suddenly stopped doing its job and i never knew how to handle this problem.Until i discovered the power of this natural jewel.

Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 instant Soothing serum

When i tried the Olay total effects cream last year i got a sample size of this serum along with it.I tried it and was pretty impressed with the results.But for some reason i never got around to buying the full sized product till now.

 

This is supposed to be anti aging instant smoothing serum.I use it under my night cream / moisturizer.The plastic pump bottle contains 50 ml of product , which theoretically should last up to a month with daily use.

Boots essential cucumber eye gel

 

This is another eye gel that we have been trying for the last few weeks.It is a pretty straight forward product in my opinion so i think i have got the hang of what it is all about even though i still have to finish the whole tube.

Clinian's eye and lip intensive balm

 

Clinians is not a brand i was familiar  with before trying this eye cream. But i decided to get my self two of its eye creams just to see how my skin reacted to the products and if i should replace my current eye cream.

Freeman's Facial Clay Mask "Chocolate & Strawberry"

  Freeman Facial Clay Mask 
                       with  
     "Chocolate & Strawberry"


I am a regular user of the Freeman facial mask range but i usually go for the cucumber one .This time i decided to go for something a little different and try the clay mask with chocolate and strawberry.

Garnier Skin Naturals Fairness Facewash

 

Since Garnier has become available locally in Pakistan , a wide range of its products have flooded the market.The most prominent ones being from the "fairness" range .We got to try this face wash purely by luck because we got this one instead when we ran out of our regular Clean & clear.

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion

Vaseline is a brand that is very readily available in Karachi (as well as the rest of Pakistan). Vaseline petroleum jelly is a house hold necessity in my opinion.The brand has quite an extensive body lotion range as well.Every time i go to the mall i see a new one.This one i got a few weeks back to combat the dryness of the weather.

St.Ives "Timeless skin" Apricot Scrub

 

I wont be exaggerating when i say that i have been using this forever.I have tried a few other brand but i have always come back to St Ives Apricot scrub.

Clean and Clear Fruit Essentials Facial Cleanser

Facial cleansers are a dime a dozen in the market these days.Hardly anyone i know uses soap to wash their face.Clean and Clear has been the go to brand when it comes to my family , in terms of cleansers.I usually buy myself the original one and i am pretty satisfied with it so i have not tried anything new in a while.Why mess with a good thing ....Right? But i have read a few reviews from fellow bloggers on these cleansers by Clean & Clear and the pink color looked so tempting on the shelf while browsing the cosmetics floor at Naheed , that i couldn't stop myself from buying it;)

GARNIER SKIN NATURALS WRINKLE LIFT A

Garnier Wrinkle lift A is a day cream that claims to keep your skin moisturized , toned and cleansed as well as keep your premature wrinkles at bay with the help of activated vitamin A.It took me a while to form an opinion about this one.I am rather biased when it comes to Garnier as a brand because the products just don't suit my skin , so i didn't want to write a review based on a rash first impression.

Tip of the week

"Multani mitti (clay) is good for oily skin"

My experience:
When i was a teenager , i had really REALLY oily skin.A problem made worst by the fact , that i had no idea how to take care of my particular skin type.Therefore i became the prime example of how acne can make life miserable :(
