Hi girls … today I m going to share a few easy tips with you regarding your nail care. I don’t want to share too complex tips which would consume your time and u end up ignoring them.
So without much further a do… lets see what the tips are:
These were few of the easy tips to take care of your nails, I have tried my best to make sure these are not very difficult to do so that every one of you can try them out. Do let me know if you have other easy tips.
Oriflame VeryMe Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow
My favorite Oriflame product. Works as a tinted moisturizer.
Very nice fragrance
Good Coverage - well enough for daily use
Pigmented
Has luminous particles which tend to sparkle in light & reflect light
Smooth Finish
Small Tube
No SPF
Oh yes!! this was my third tube.
Masks are really good for your skin if applied correctly and with regular intervals; many of my favorite masks are basically homemade but some of the market based masks are also very good. I personally prefer masks with natural ingredients so the skin gets some natural food and I guess natural/herbal masks add life and glow to your skin.
I purchased this Soft Touch Skin Clarifying Mineral Mask (75g) for PKR 125 from Pehchan Mall Sialkot Cantt. It claims the following:
Inside its white creamy paste which smells refreshing. This is a thick paste which you can apply using any mask brush. When you apply it to your face you feel a cool menthol kind of feeling and skin feels refreshed on the application.
As per the directions you have to wait for the mask to dry in 10 minutes and wipe off with a wet sponge. Well I washed my face after waiting for about 15 minutes.
The results were very good and impressive I must say. My skin actually felt very refreshed with the very cool feeling on the skin and the pores were actually clarified. Skin felt clearer and cleaned when I wiped the mask off before washing the face with plain water. I am surely going to buy this product once again after it finishes and definitely recommend it to everyone out there.
However, please notice that different skin products may work differently on different skin types, so one product that might work very well on me might not be as good on your skin. Nevertheless, I personally find this product to do what it says and I consider it a good value for money. If you ask me I ll buy it again, YES I will !!
There is no frequency of usage mentioned on the jar but I think this mask can be used about once/twice a week.
Have you guys ever used this mask? If yes, how was your experience? Do share with us…
Tinted moisturizers are something I always yearned for, but never got a chance to use one myself. Foundation & Moisturizer in one – its like a blessing for all those girls like me who are always running out of time when getting ready. Hehe! To My rescue, ELF cosmetics introduced their tinted moisturizers in Pakistan. Let me review one of them for you and tell you my comments about this wonderful product.
The packaging is quite nice. It’s a card backed transparent pack in which the tinted moisturizer is set up. The tube has a pointed nozzle which allows you to take out only as much of the tinted mo as required. The tube is transparent (I think – mine is quite new so not very sure though) to show you the color inside. it’s a small tube which is very easy to carry in ur bag and even your wallet.
The pricing, yet again is very impressive, it costs 170 PKR only. I purchased it online from their website. I am not sure if these products are available in the market or not however, I just learnt that Just4girls.pk also sell their products now. I have ordered from the ELF Cosmetics Pakistan website two times and I am really happy with all the products I ordered. However, the shipping usually takes about 2 weeks which is something they need to improve. I am now planning to order ELF products from Just4girls.pk to see how their shipping service is, because Just4girls.pk usually deliver order on time as per my experience.
The results are very good. It gives your face a smooth and even finish which lasts for the whole day (7-8 hours). Just set it up with a good face powder and you are good to go. It is SPF 15 so you can even use it instead of sun block on “not too sunny” days. It does not require a lot of amount to be applied and contains both the goodness of a moisturizer and the radiance of foundation. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone out there especially because of its good results and wonderful cost benefit ratio. Your skin looks fresh and even toned after you apply it. Though you can apply face powder after this tinted moisturizer application but even if you don’t, the skin looks good enough. I will definitely buy this product again.
Have you guys used this tinted moisturizer? Share your experiences if you have.
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.
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.
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 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.
…Have any of u used these wipes, please share what you think about them.

This acid is known for it’s ability to help with not only acne, but also a revolutionary product for its many anti aging benefits.5 Reasons why Glycolic Cleanser is an Effective Skin Treatment?
1. Deep Penetration: The reason why a glycolic cleanser is effective skin care treatments are for a variety of different factors. The first factor is that since it belongs to the valuable AHA family it is able to penetrate the skin. This action is what makes it such a beneficial skin treatment. In order to effectively treat the skin a product needs to be able to be absorbed into the skin.
2. Natural: This ingredient is a natural exfoliate and an effective moisturizer, therefore not only does it penetrate the skin, it gets beneath not only the top layer of the skin but below the skin surface where many of the damage skin cells are found. It can help to repair the past damage caused by the sun and other environmental factors to reveal fresher newer skin.
3. Exfoliation: A glycolic cleanser is able to break up the adhesiveness of the skin that binds the dead skin cells together and keeps newer skin from making it’s way to the surface. Therefore, it is a catalyst in the production of regeneration of the skin.
4. Less Side Effects: Since it is derived from nature there are many people who wouldn’t ordinarily be able to use this product. It has been known to have less side effect on some people with sensitive skin. Therefore practically everyone with different skin types can use this product.
5. Skin Toner: A glycolic cleanser prevents the skin from solidifying and prepares the skin to be subjected to other skin treatments.
There are many different types to chose from and many people tend to favor the foaming glycolic cleanser products. These in the beginning of use have been known to produce a tingling sensation on the skin. After your skin gets used to it many people experience the tingling subside. If this continues you can try limiting the use to once a day until your skin becomes used to it.
People with acne have become accustomed to the use of a glycolic cleanser because they are a safer way to try a product with less irritation because there is less of this key ingredient within the product. Therefore, this cleansing form would be ideal for anyone just starting out to try it.
It can also be used in combination with other glycolic skin care products, which makes it an ideal choice for everyone. Avid users of glycolic cleansers state that their skin feels, refreshed, soft and revitalized.
