#Review - #EvelineCosmetics #Skin360 #Normalising #Mattifying #Tonic #3in1

Ladies, using a toner has never been my priority. Although I have been a regular cleansing routine follower since many years but all I did was to cleanse my skin and apply my night cream afterwards. Sometimes I did use rose water in place of a toner but using a specific toner was something I never actually gave much thought to.
When Keune Pakistan & Eveline Cosmetics sent me their goodie bag as a part of their marketing campaign for the launch of Elysian Beauty Salon in Islamabad; I found #EvelineCosmetics #Skin360 #Normalising #Mattifying #Tonic #3in1 as a part of the lovely stuff I received. Since I had to review it obviously I started using the product for an honest & fair review. Read on to find out what difference did it bring to my skin & skincare routine!

#DIY #Makeup #Cleansing #Wipes

Hi girls, we have all been lazy on certain days where it seems too much to cleanse your makeup and we just want to hit the bed right after a hectic day. For such days I always keep a set of makeup cleansing wipes with me so that I can get away with the detailed cleansing routine and cleanse the makeup right on my bed.
I normally use Pure Cleansing wipes and you can read their review here. I have used many other brands as well but personally find these best suiting to my skin. However, for a pack of about 25 wipes, it costs around 140-150 Rs. on different stores and on some stores even more than that. Anyhow I didnt consider this too much of an amount until I discovered that I can make my own cleansing wipes at a fraction of the cost. Plus those are mostly organic and use much of the natural products so the face is happier and cleaner without using much chemicals :) Isn't this amazing???

So lets get started. Here is what you need for these DIY makeup wipes:

Items Required for your DIY Homemade Makeup Cleansing Wipes

Clean Makeup Brushes–Quick & Easy

Hi Girls, admit it … we all have been lazy to clean our makeup brushes according to the recommended routine … yes yes we all are busy in our routines and cleaning brushes becomes a hassle as you have to wait for your brushes to get dry and that means you wont be able to use them until then.

You either have to buy expensive makeup brush cleaners to do the job or you can make your own diy  brush cleaner which I will share in another post for the more elaborate cleaners  : ) but here I am going to share a quick and easy way to clean your makeup brushes and guess what, the brushes don’t take any longer to dry as well.

This simple trick uses only one item; a simple hand sanitizer. You just have to put a drop on the brush you want to clean, and start rubbing the brush on a clean paper towel or a cloth towel. Keep doing it until your  brush rubs clean. This usually doesn’t take any more than two drops. Since hand sanitizer has rubbing alcohol in it which evaporates quickly your brush is dry earlier. Also due to the antibacterial nature of almost all the hand sanitizers, your brushes are automatically cleaned from all the germs and dirt.

My video here shows this whole process. Do check it out and share if you like it. Watch in HD for the best results.

Biggest Skincare Sins

Skincare is a tricky business. You try and try and try millions of expensive and costly  products while the secret of glowing skin lies in simple and less costly ways. There are some ways which are really cost effective YET very beneficial for your skin. You can make a daily routine to follow some basic and simple steps and your skin will feel better in a matter of days. Following are some of the skincare sins I have personally learnt through my own experience; thought you might be interested in knowing what my experience says:

1. Skipping a sunblock: By far the most crucial thing for your skin is a proper sunblock. I personally never considered it something useful until I just visited a dermatologist for a few spots on my face and she told me that my skin was heavily sun damaged (I used to think my skin is quite better than the others till then :P, however she proved me wrong). I started feeling better with my skin in two days of starting the sunblock. If you are not sure which sunblock you should use, try going to a dermatologist and ask him/her which sunblock would suit your skin type. Please note that using the wrong sunblock for your skin might lead to adverse effects on your skin instead of positive. So its a quite critical decision on which sunblock to choose. I have noticed myself that whenever i skip my sunblock for a number of days my skin starts deteriorating. In fact I myself skipped the sunblock for about a month being lazy and noticed my skin was getting worse and worse. I was not sure what was causing the problem and was thinking of taking an appointment with a skin doctor. I just started my sunblock out of nowhere the same days and noticed improvement in my skin in 3-4 days. Then I realized that the whole problem with my skin was due to inapplication of the sunblock. I can go on and on about the usefulness of a sunblock but I guess this is enough :p
2. Drinking Less Water: Water makes up 70% of your body and is an essential requirement of your body tissues. You should at least be drinking 8 glasses of water per day. My own skin has started feeling much better ever since i have improved my water intake. In absence of proper water intake, your skin is dry, your face and eyes might feel puffy and swollen due to the increased mineral ratio in your body and lesser water. Make at least 6-8 glasses of water a part of your daily life and see how your skin glows.
3. No Cleansing: Another skincare sin will be NOT cleansing your skin. Experts suggest that you should be cleansing twice a day everyday but I personally cleanse once a day so I would recommend that. You can use any Good Quality cleanser and cleanse before you go to sleep as night is the time when your skin repairs and rejuvenates itself.

So what do you think girls, do you want to add to my list of skincare sins? Please share your thoughts...

Review–Garnier Skin Naturals Essentials Grape Water Make up Remover Milk

Hey there, cleansing is one of our most important aspects of daily beauty regime. If you girls do not cleanse your skin every night before sleeping, I personally think you are doing really bad to your skin. Cleansing removes dirt, dead cells and effects of pollution on your skin, so it should be a part of your daily health and beauty routine.

Today I am going to review “Garnier Skin Naturals Essentials Grape Water Makeup Remover Milk”. I have used many cleansers throughout my life and it was just a chance I picked up this one when I was switching from Prevense Cleanser. I have never been a real fan of the company Garnier, as the Garnier skin naturals Skin  lightening cream didn’t do anything good for me. However, I thank my lucky stars that I DID try this product from Garnier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Packaging:

The packaging is almost transparent grapewhite milky bottle which shows you how much of the cleanser you have consumed. The cleanser itself is white in color and as the name suggests its more of cleansing milk sort of a lotion.

 

The Pricing:

The price of this bottle is PKR 450 and you can get it from any cosmetic and medical store. I bought mine first from D. Watson and now I can find it almost in any big departmental store and chemist shop.

The Results:

The results of this product have simply amazed me like no other cleanser. I didn’t expect this one to work so well. It removes water proof eye makeup in just one swipe, its so mild on the skin and on the eyes that I don’t even feel I m putting something in my eyes. I normally apply it on a cotton round or swab and then use the cotton swab to cleanse my skin and eyes. Normally it takes two to three cotton rounds to cleanse my skin thoroughly when I have light makeup on. By far this is one of the best cleansers I have ever tried and since then I have been using it continuously. this is the cleanser which I have used the most in my life and I am very happy with this product and its results. After cleansing it leaves your skin refreshed, cool and cleansed and you feel a visible difference on your skin if you continue using it. The cost benefit ratio is great and I would definitely recommend it to all  of you out there.

Review–“PURE” 3 in 1 Cleansing wipes

Today I am going to review “Pure 3 in 1 makeup cleansing wipes”. Cleansing wipes are a great thing in my opinion. Sometimes you are not really free to  grab a cotton swab and do your complete cleansing routine, this is where cleansing wipes come into use. Just take a cleansing wipe and do quick cleansing – remove your makeup and you are done. This is good for lazy days when you are not in the mood of following the whole cleansing process or when you don’t have enough time.

However, you still need to choose the right type of cleansing wipes for yourself, I have tried Loreal, Clearasil, and some other brands but seriously by far the best cleansing wipes I have used are “Pure”. These are less expensive than many other leading brands and personally I have experienced the best results with these instead of any other brand.

 

The Packaging:

Pure cleansing wipes come in different varieties; 3-in-1 cleansing wipes, exfoliating wipes, deep cleansing are some of them. I have used deep cleansing and 3 in 1 and found them to be wonderful for my skin. It is packaged in a plastic packet with a sticker opening to take out a wipe at the time of use. Its quite handy and easy to carry in bag. I personally carry this in my hand bag everyday.

 

The Pricing:

I would say these are the most inexpensive and result oriented wipes I have ever used. there are 25 cleansing wipes in a pack and it costs 125 PKR. I have used other expensive cleansing wipes but seriously havent been much satisfied with their results.

 

The Results:

The results are very good. It’s a very light cleansing solution which is used in these wipes yet it is very powerful. It cleanses waterproof mascara also very easily and doesn’t irritate the eyes as well. The wipe cloth is also very soft and really feels good on the skin. My skin feels very refreshed after using these wipes. Usually one wipe is enough to clean your daily makeup but on occasions when you have heavy makeup on you might need to use more than one of them. Overall it’s a very good purchase and I always prefer to buy Pure cleansing wipes instead of all the big brands out there.

 

The Good Things:

• Very light and refreshing on the face
• Quick makeup cleanser
• Also removes water proof makeup easily and quickly
• Very well priced

The Bad Things:

• I don’t dislike anything about these wipes …

Have any of u used these wipes, please share what you think about them.
