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.

Revlon colorstay vs Revlon colorstay

I have been meaning to do this comparison post for quite a while now.But it got postponed for one reason or another:)Lets just begin by saying that i am very taken with Revlon's colorstay line.Especially the foundations.In Pakistan Revlon products are not available in open market.You may sometime find a few shades of foundation here & there or lipsticks / lip glosses but not in an official capacity(correct me if i am wrong). For the longest time i wanted to get my hands on Revlon colorstay foundation with softflex so when i found one at my local cosmetic counter (even though it was totally the wrong color for me) i immediately bought it.What i failed to notice at the time was that the bottle didn't exactly say it had softflex in it.So i ended up(in my haste) not only buying the wrong shade but also the wrong formula :( But i tried it any how, just to satisfy my curiosity about it.Than i got my hands on this other colorstay foundation (Active light makeup). This time the color matched perfectly. But both the formulas/packaging is so different from each other that i thought a comparison post was in order :)

Golden Rose Liquid Concealer in "02"

For the make up enthusiasts in Pakistan "Golden Rose" is not a new name.For a long time i thought that the lipsticks were the only thing available in the market but a few months back when i was on the look out for an affordable concealer for my sister,i encountered their counters with the full range of the brand at multiple places.So i decided to give their concealer a try.The color that i chose was "02" which has yellow undertones, suitable to my sisters complexion.
