Club Clio Global Haul

 I made my first purchase at the Club Clio website a few weeks back and the experience was actually pretty good

They have a lot of products on discounted price and you can get tons of free samples with your purchase. I paid around 50$ ( that includes shipping ). You can get free shipping if your order exceed the 60$ value but them you can't use any discount code with it 

All the items of my order were securely wrapped in bubble wrap packaging. Even though a few of my items were in liquid form . 

I will start off with the most expensive item of my haul. Since my acne is all over the place I decided to buy a BB cream specifically for acne prone skin. The Dermatory Pro Trouble Acne BB cream has a really travel friendly packaging. I haven't opened it yet but I will be sharing my thoughts once I do . The ingredients list contains Salicylic acid and Centella Asiatica 

Next off we have the PeriPera Double cover cushion. You know I enjoyed the previous ( bright pink Peripera Cushion a lot so I have high hopes for this one as well ) overall the packaging is thin and sleek

I also bought the Peripera Oil Capture Cover Powder. It is often out of stock on the Club Clio website so figured that it must be a best seller at the website . The hexagonal puff is actually pretty cute 

Ssin voted the Peripera Longwear Cover Concealer as best of 2020 . So I was pretty curious about the performance of this one. In the packaging this looks very pigmented lets see how this works for my flaky skin type

I added the Peripera Lip and Eye remover because it was just 3$ on the website. It is a biphasic makeup remover. Hopefully it will be non irritating for my sensitive eyes 

I am not a big fan of peachy/orangy blushes . I picked this peripera pure blushed sunshine cheek one for my sister the color is actually more of a muted dried rose shade. Can't really figure out why it came out so Orangy in pictures 

I am running low on makeup setting spray. So I added this Ink Setting All Day makeup fixer by Peripera to my cart. The spray nozzle is pretty good and distributes the product evenly on the face

The final product from Peripera that I bought is the Milk Blur Rosy Toneup Cream. You all might know that by now that I am a big fan of tone up creams this one has more of a skin tint. I hope this works with my skin color . 

I bought a cute tiny Quad from Twinkle Pop Pearl Flex Glitter Eye Palette is a sister brand of peripera. The glitter in this palette are pretty sparkly. I plan to share a very detailed review of this next on my blog so keep your eyes peeled for that 

And lastly we have this cute travel size handcream set from Healing Bird. I have a self diagnosed OCD or maybe it is the virus which has turned me into this hand washing maniac. But this trio have some really lovely scents so I added it to the cart without any second thought. 

This wraps up my haul. Club Clio gave me samples too with the order but I gave them away to my brother . Out of all these products which interests you the most ?

Korean Makeup Haul

I am so excited to share the products I bough recently. If you follow my blog on instagram then you must be already aware about the product I am going to show you guys. I purchased these from Beauty joint.com and The Skinmaskuarade

Firstly I purchase  this cute Innisfree LE X Emoji No sebum powder. This is one of the most hyped up loose powder in the Korean beauty world . Pretty much every blogger swear buys this product. Since I have a Skin as oily as an oil slick.  This sounded like a dream product for my skin. I have used this product for almost a months and soon I will be sharing my thoughts on this powder so if you are curious keep watching this space.

Next up is also a cult favourite product the Misha M Magic Cushion in shade #21. My first ever cushion foundation. I have used this only once and so far I am totally amazed by the finish it provides .i will continue to use this product for some time and then give your guys my honest opinion
I loved watching a Korean drama featuring Ji Chang Wook and Yoona called The K2 and that's how i was  first introduced to this cute wine lip tint by chateau labiotte after scanning many online stores and reading numerous reviews I finally saw the minis on beauty joint for 3.25 $ and that when I added this to my cart. The tube is so tiny and so cute  😍
Its skin is one of the lesser known Korean brand which makes a lot of great products. I have sallow skin so decided to invest in a color correcting base to neutralize my skin tone. Cute isn't it??

Garnier Skinactive Micellar cleansing water review

The review of this product has been pushed off  for quite some time. I apologise for the delay but I wanted to try this cleanser properly to analyze all the properties (the goods and the bads) and to see for myself if all the hype which surrounds this cleanser was true.

Even though I totally love my Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar water, I wanted to know if there was a less expensive alternative available in the market. I purchased the 125ml version of this cleanser. This also comes in a big 400ml bottle too which retails for 500 Pkr
About the packaging:
This has a very chic looking bottle which is transparent and has a pink cap. The cap is secure( I haven't noticed any spillage so far) on the bottle it claims that you can get about 60 uses from a single bottle which is amazing. Because this 125 ml cost about 200 pkr and to me 60 uses translates as 2 months of usage,very cosy effective👍

About the product:
This is just like water,transparent clear and has no scent. Upon shaking the bottle some bubbles are formed. The cleanser dispenses out from the bottle quite easily without making a mess. I used this by soaking my makeup removing cotton pad with micellar water and then gentle wiping my face with it. This removed the foundation from my face with one swipe. I had to go over my lips twice to remove the matte lipstick. It removed the eyeliner and eyeshadow without much effort but for mascara I had to hold the cotton pad on my lashes for a minute to loosen up the mascara

  I am quite impressed with its performance. I have heard a lot people complain that this made their skin breakout luckily I haven't experience any skin irritation or pimples while using this product so far. One thing though this leaves a slightly moist residual feel to the skin. I usually follow this up with a face cleanser so its not much of a problem for me but for those who want their skin to feel dry . You might have to consider trying out some other makeup remover.
Are you curious to know how this compares to Bioderma sensibio H2O Micellar water?? Stay tuned to my blog to see an unbiased comparison post coming up soon
Until next time
Bye

Nature republic aloe cleansing gel cream

Hello
My skin has thankful gone back to normal and luckily the scars have reduced considerably. So I am now back to. Using cleansers which reduce oil production. One of the products which is still a part of my skincare routine is this gel cleanser by nature republic. If you look through my cabinet you might be very amused to see the number of cleansers/makeup removers I currently own Its insane .I think I don't have to buy another cleanser for next two years now 😊

Back to the review, I purchased this cleanser from the skinmaskaurade exhibition. I feel like kicking myself now for not purchasing more things from the exhibition( major regrets) this cleanser comes in a mint green squeezable tube which holds about 150ml of product inside. The nozzle was sealed when I purchased this. This has a green cap which does not close properly.( I think I got one with faulty lid)

Now onto the real deal which is inside the tube. Nature republic markets this product as a makeup remover which hydrates and moisturizes skin. When I removed the seal I was met with a very pleasant fresh scent of the cleanser. On squeezing the tube gel came out . The gel is clear and has a watery feel to it. It doesn't lather up at all and has a bitter taste to it. After using this the scent remained on my face for sometime.
 Now Nature republic recommends to massage this gel  onto the face to remove makeup and impurities and then wipe it off with a tissue and then follow it with a foam cleanser. I improvised on the instructions a bit and after massaging this on my face I removed it with water. Here's what I noticed this didn't completely remove my makeup. The base makeup was definitely gone but traces of eyeliner, mascara and liquid lipstick were still there for reference I use non water proof mascara.

Since makeup removing properties are not on par with my Garnier and Bioderma Micellar water I have decided to use this as a regular face wash and I am very pleased to tell you guys that this has helped my skin so much. It removes the oil from my face so well moreover my sebaceous glands have started behaving themselves. This does hydrate and moisture the skin unlike many of face washes I have tried in the past this does not leaves my skin overly dry and flaky.

As a makeup cleanser this product has some deficiencies but as a face wash / face cleanser I think this is a good product
This retails for 6$ on nature republic's official website and can be purchased in Pakistan for about 900 Pkr.
Have you tried anything by nature republic? Would you recommend any product by this brand to me??

Haul post

salam

I have been a smart shopper lately so every time I go out I think twice when purchasing something. And I am happy to report that for the past couple of months I haven't bought any makeup/skincare item on a whim.

Since I am a contact lens user I switched from optiplus contact lens cleaner to Renu contact lens cleaning solution lets see how this works for both my eyes and contact lens
After trying out the bioderma sensibio h2o micellar water I have been quite curious about the performance of garnier micellar water so I bought a small bottle of it to test out. I will post a detailed review on it soon also I might do a comparison post on the two.
Moving on I bought another cleanser from the skin maskeurade exhibition. First impressions: This smells so good . I also got some samples so lets see if I like them or not

I also purchased Maybelline baby lips lip balm a staple for every purse. And since summer is here I picked out a fun green colored nail enamel . And a pen eyeliner. Some nail enamel removing pads and the color changing lip oil. Rhinestone Bobby pins and a garnier sample size face wash that I got with a purchase of a hair dye .
That's all guys. Are you a smart shopper or do you purchase things on a whim. Do let me know in comments section down below
