LEEGEEHAM GROW HYAL B5 CREAM

Leegeeham recently launched the GROW HYAL B5 CREAM
ABOUT THE BRAND
Leegeeham is a Korean cosmetics brand designed by a team of dermatologists, so their products are a combination of pharmaceutical and cosmetics. Each product is  well researched and delivers what It promises
This cream Is a combination of vitamin B5 and Hyaluronic acid and has the tendency to provide more moisture and hydration than water


The reason why I don't have picture of its box is that my package ended up in a mail ( accident which resulted in damage to the packaging thankfully the container is intact)

The two main ingredients are B5 and hyaluronic acid.
B5 provides hydration, it prevents aging and acne and maintains skin elasticity
While hyaluronic acid revitalizes skin. makes it  softer and smooth, also reduces fine lines and wrinkles
About the Packaging:
A very practical chic white container which is perfect for traveling . There is a protective lid inside to maintain the freshness of the cream
Quantity: 50ml
About the product:
The texture is very interesting even though it says cream, it feels more like a gel. There is a nice scent to it . To my nose it smells like custard but my sister thinks it smells spicy
The product spreads easily onto the skin and takes about 3-5 minutes to absorb into the skin . I don't usually don't pat my creams into the skin ( that's some it have reserved for my serum and essence). Combined with the ampoule this makes a  perfect duo something which  does not requires more skincare steps.
The wow factor: My skin its feels so bouncy, I asked my mother to try this out. For reference she has mature dry skin. On her skin the results where more pronounced. The wrinkles and fine lines on her skin were smoothed out. All the dryness was gone.To explain it more thoroughly its best to say that this cream hydrates parched , dry and dehydrated skin so the lines created due to dehydration are reduced when moisture barrier goes back to normal. 

MY OPINIONI have worn this cream on its own, used it with the leegeeham Hyal B5 ampoule and even used it in combination with vitamin C . So far no adverse reaction encountered.
My mom loved this cream so much that i had no choice but to give it to her 😁
(This cream has got my mothers stamp of approval) My mom has decided to add this to  her night time skin care routine as it makes her skin feels so much soft and smooth every morning. Plus she wants the B5 and Hyaluronic acid to work their magic while she is asleep.
I think is perfect for winter but is it suitable for summers too? Only change of season will tell
This cream has got my mothers stamp of approval.

[Review] Purito Vitamin C serum 60 ml

Been eyeballing skincare products containing Vitamin C serum ever since I started taking interest in skincare but the high price tag always kept me from making a purchase. So i gave my skin the dose of Vitamin C it deserved by applying diluted lemon juice mixed with glycerin onto my face once every week (This DIY leaves skin soft and bright it also lightens hyper pigmentation) But some weeks ago I had an opportunity to try this Purito Vitamin C serum and now i wish i had tried this sooner. This smells like vitamin supplements 😆 (gross right ) but the results which you get afterwards are really worth all the trouble and bad smell 😅

ABOUT THE PACKAGING
The serum is cased in a sturdy tinted plastic bottle( vitamin C tends to oxidize pretty fast so tinted bottles prevent them from un necessary light exposure) with a pump(very convenient and handy) and contains 60 ml of serum in it. The pump dispenses product quite generously so 1 pump is enough to cover the whole face

ABOUT THE PRODUCT
This serum has a light straw color  and has a water like texture which is not greasy or slippery. On application it stings slightly (its bearable) I have noticed that the sting vanishes once the serum dries down and is absorbed. My skin feels super smooth every time I use this.

 Long term effects: Reduced hyper pigmentation and lighter acne scars 👍. Since Vitamin C/ ascorbic acid  content is 10% I have decided to use this once every week as I don't want to damage my skin with too much acids and exfoliation. Sometimes I mix this serum with my regular face cream and apply this onto the face. This serum is a must have if you are starting out with skincare and want to incorporate some skin vitalising/ collagen boosting product to your routine 🙆. This can be purchased at eopen market

[Review] SAAT INSIGHT KONSTANTE ELEGANZ FIXER

I have been eye makeup fixers for the longest time as the idea of my makeup lasting longer on my oily face sounds so tempting but there are very few makeup fixers that fall in my budget and deliver a matte finish
I was genuinely surprised and super happy when my blog selected by JOLSE to review this product

About the brand


Saat Insight  is a Korean makeup brand which manufacture luxury cosmetic products.


About the product:


Quantity: 100ml also available in 50ml

Price : 25 USD $


Packaging: The spray bottle is packed in a very beautiful pink and green marbled cardboard box inside the box there is a sturdy  white plastic bottle which has a black secure cap.the bottle has a very practical design its is  travel friendly, spill proof and shatter proof. The nozzle is good its dispenses the product evenly onto the face

My thoughts:


This makeup fixer has mild scent which disappears on  application. It's  clear  like
water and has a non tacky finish. I apply about 3-4 spritz of this on my face to set my makeup. What I have noticed that this makes my whole makeup look come together ( gives it a flawless finish) It also forms a light film which gives glow to the skin plus it reduces makeup from transferring onto other surfaces. I pressed a tissue paper only fave and was surprised to see that only a little amount of makeup / foundation transferred onto the tissue paper.
This makeup fixer does not have oil controlling properties thought nor does it claim to do so
I cant figure out the ingredients and its placement on CosDna website because the ingredients list is in Hangul (Korean) but from my experience this didn't break my skin out.
This retails for 25 $ on Jolse website link here

I rate this product 4/5 ❤


Thankyou Jolse for providing this product for review

Winter Clothing Essentials for Ladies in Pakistan

Today I am doing a fashion related post. I am sure many of you might be a bit overwhelmed/ bored with my usual skin care reviews.

With September 22 comes equinox meaning that summer is officially over and autumn has begin. Though to be honest I haven't noticed much of a difference in temperature (in Islamabad) right now but I hope it will become  colder soon. Here is a guide on how to keep your self Up-to-date with latest fashion trends this winter and keep those toes toasty warm while looking fabulous at the same time.


Cotton Shrugs

Cotton shrugs are one of the versatile article of clothing that can be worn over shirt. Not only do they look chic, they also do a fantastic job of keeping cold away. Shrugs are also suitable for layering over clothes. For those chilly autumn morning or evening walks shrugs are definitely one of the wisest  choice. Who says you have stick to the same old boring black shrug. you can find so much variety in design and color when choosing a cotton shrug these days. I even saw a shrug top , what a genius idea!


Fleece Hoodies


Fleece denotes authority. Remember the Greek mythology of Jason and the golden fleece? Jason was given the impossible task to retrieve a golden to reclaim his throne anyways since you don't have a throne to reclaim, you can definitely claim the tittle of being  well dressed by wearing a fleece hoodie and it comes in a lot more colors than golden 😆. You can choose between a pull over or a zip up design (what ever suits your taste and is convenient for you).

Hoodies are one of those clothes in your wardrobe that can be worn on a casual day or you can pair them with some fancy pants and rock them at a party.


Linen Dresses


Get you hands on the beautiful linen dresses and look your best this autumn and winter season. While lawn suits rule the pakistani fashion market all summer long. Linen is definitely the fabric for autumn and winters.
Pick dresses in shade of burgundy, deep blue, maroon and dark green for that winter feel. Having trouble finding an online shop from where you can get good quality linen stitched and unstitched dresses try Pakstyle.pk you wont be disappointed. They sell all the designer brands under one roof. The options are unlimited ( they have printed , embroidered, digital printed formal amd informal dresses available ) and the prices quoted are unbeatable and pocket friendly.
If you are still unsure about your wardrobe for winters try to search online for some inspiration ( instagram or pintrest) that way you will be able to narrow down the clothes that you want to wear the coming season.

Winter clothes for women include Linen suits ( gotta have at least 4 linen dresses),  fleece hoodies ( who says only men can can wear it ) warm shrugs, sweaters and coats. what is winter without a coat?? Try to mix and match and layer them in a way that keep the cold away and you look stylish at the same time.
So go ahead shop online for your winter apparel and be prepared to welcome winter with a warm heart, a hot mug of chocolate and a cute attire.

Maybelline baby lips in berry crush

Lip balms are a staple in every women's purse  even if  you wear minimal makeup I am sure you own a lip balm. For me Lip balm remains a product that is constantly repurchased through out the year.

Not all Lip balms are made equal . Some provide hydration , some provide color , some have both hydration and pigment and then there are some meh lip balms that have fancy price tag and cute to look at packaging but the lip balm inside is something that makes you look more chapped and dry like dry prunes

Maybelline baby lip balm has been making popularity rounds in the beauty blogging world for some time now. It has been getting both rare-views and hate-views too.  So when I ran out of lip balm I decided to plunge into the deep waters and purchase this lip balm
The packaging is cute  2$ or 249 PKr

Packaging:

The packaging is cute and quite eye-catching I must admit. The tube is a small enough to be grown into a small clutch or purse. The cap is secure . This lip Balm has a twist up mechanism so this makes it hygienic. I absolutely hate those products where you have to dip your fingers in .

About the product:

This smells like berries, the scent is so delicious.Now as you can see this looks os vibrant and red in the tube but on application it imparts  a sheer wash of color which Is not too much buildable on multiple swipes. There are specks of gold glitter in this lip balm  but don't panic they are too small to be visible or feel gritty on the lips.  it  applies evenly on the lips and after hrs( without drinking and eating) it disappears leaving the lips smooth and moisturized. One of the best part in my opinion is that this Lipbalm has spf 20 so not does it makes the lips soft it also protects them form the damaging  rays

Beware guys there are a lot fakes circulating online and in the market so make sure you are safe from the counterfeit products as they can pose hazard to your skin
