Review–Makeup Academy Extreme Metallics Eyeshadow Quad in GO GETTER

Eyeshade trios and quads are easy to carry and you get multiple looks using one trio and quad. I have been using complete eyeshadow kits till now and MUA Extreme Metallics Go Getter was my first quad.

I had never used MUA products before so I was not sure if I will like it or not. However, I think MUA is a good choice if you want to save money and get good makeup in your stash. Its not so expensive and you can get it at PKR 500/- only from Just4girls.pk 

The shades are neutral earthy tones and I personally chose this one because I think this can be used with any dress and can be a part of casual and semi formal makeup. Even formal makeup can be done using this quad very easily. Its just how you play with all the colors.

The eye shadow quad claims the following:

Following is a swatch of the metallic shades on my hand (I have traces of Mehndi on my hands that’s why I have shared two pics so that you can see the colors better in any of them):

What I think:

What I think about this product; I think it’s a good value for money, it gives you many choices of eye makeup using just this set of four shades. another good thing is that all these shades can be used with a  ny colors of your dress and in case you are in a hurry or you have only this quad with you you can create lovely eyes giving yourself casual, semi formal & formal looks. You can use it either way you like but here is a guideline from what I think:

• First two shades (1 & 2) can be used as highlighters and highlighting the inner corners of the eyes
• Second two shades (2 & 3) can be used on lid
• Shade 3 can be used on crease as well
• Shade 4 is also for crease and outer corner

The above are just my preferred ways of using the quad however you guys can use these differently and share all the different ways you can use this quad.

I hope I have done a good review for you guys … Have you used this quad? Share your experiences if you have below

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.
