MAKEUP:PAL DAY TIME 4 STEPS NATURAL SKINCARE










Being enrolled in medicine comes with its own perks, you can never have enough time because very spare time that you get is either spent catching up on the sleep that was lost due to studying or is spent catching up on the chores that need to be done.
being the skincare addict that i have become i want my skin to look flawless at all times but what to do when i have an evening/morning rotation and cant afford the luxury of skin pampering

i was super excited when i received this cool MAKEUP;PAL simplified skincare sample sized foils in my mail .which BTW carries all basic skincare products one would need in a hurry
*A round of Applause for the brand to come up with such a brilliant idea*




there are a total of 4 foils. each contains a separate product in it .


Step 1: Toner brightening balance


this is a slightly opaque toner which has little to no scent. ( I detected a faint floral scent but almost negligible) . It spreads easily and absorbs immediately into the skin. This restores the moisture balance of the skin which was lost after cleansing


Step 2 : Lotion Brightening


this smells mildly of roses( the scent is not artificial). The texture is very light and liquid-y so this absorbs into the skin after a few pats I have noticed that this brightens the complexion after




Step 3 : Cream white tone up


this has to be the  best brightening cream I have ever used. Firstly this smells of farangipani ( my favorite flower btw) secondly this just blurs out the pores, smooths out all imperfections on the skin and makes the skin instantly bright. I can totally skip wearing foundation / bb cream after wearing this cream. Its spreads evenly on the skin and leaves semi matte finish. If Makeup:pal ever decided to sell this cream separately I am going go be their one loyal customer 😉


Step 4 : Sunblock


the sunblock is a little on the heavier side and gives luminous glowy complexion. This does bot leave white cast nor does it has any scent so this is perfect for flash photography. This contains maximum sun protection SPF PA+++




Altogether I totally love this new skincare concept by MAKEUP:PAL . Its super convenient for people who have tough work routines
the packaging is cute and slim so this fits easily into purse or pocket moreover if you are going on a short 2-3 dats trip you can take this along with you. Not to mention this follows the airplane safety guidelines so this perfect to take it along with you on a flight


Each foil contains 1.5 ml of product which is good enough to be used twice 😍.


this comes in box of 10 and retails for 20$ each. Totally good value for your money particularly when you have four skin care products in one leaf

[REVIEW] CHIK'O Masktone Invisible Sheet Masks



So my quest for the perfect sheetmaks fro oily skin continues and on my way i have found these amazing CHIK'O BEAUTY Sheet masks that retails for 80$ TW, these masks delivery all theclaims made on the box and i am super impressed by the their quality

they are very honest with the Ingredients list and have some really cool stuff added in these mask serum formula which really boost up complexion and hydrate skin


I will start with the CHIKO MASKTONE ENERGIZING & MOISTURIZING INVISIBLE SHEET MASK 

see how cute and brilliant the packaging looks. i love how they came up with this fun pantone look alike packaging idea its so different from all the sheetmask available in the market plus I am pretty sure they are going to add more sheet masks to there  collection pretty soon

this sheetmask has a scent less serum which is like water (with added moisture and hydration benefits) the sheet mask is packed carefully in a plastic cover as the fibers of the mask are fragile and can be deformed easily if one is careless

the serum is in the packet is generous and absorbs pretty quickly into the skin , i love these kind of masks for oily skin as they are fuss free and one can totally jump onto the next skincare step. there is no tacky feel of the left over serum. unlike the other mask in range this only provides moirure to the skin no brightening effect,

this mask is best suited for all skin types

i know i look kind of creepy with this on but my skin looked so good afterwards

 CHIK'O Masktone Whitening & Brightening Invisible Sheet Mask

This must be match made in heaven for my oily skin ❤  I tried out this CHIK'O Masktone Whitening & Brightening Invisible Sheet Mask and this is seriously one of the best sheet mask i have tried in a while

 




just like the previous mask the packaging  of this mask has its own unique design inspired from Pantone color 🃏. Inside the foil the sheetmask is placed next to a plastic cover. The material of the mask  must be silk or tencel (be careful when pulling out the mask, its delicate and very stretchable I almost destroyed the mask) Even though it says 25ml the sheet is totally dripping. I squeezed off the excess for later use hehe 😁

The fit of the mask is good. The cut outs for eyes nose and mouth are of appropriate dimension. This masks clings onto the face like second skin( feels really good) compared to cotton/cellulose sheet masks this is definitely close to invisible (you can see my face 😉) The serum/essence is colorless, non tacky and absorbs into the skin straight away leaving behind matte finish to the face. Tranexamic acid,Vitamin C , papaya and 🍍 enzymes are the chief ingredients ( collagen boosting and exfoliating ) there is slight medicinal smell to the mask but its not strong and disappears after a fee minutes. I left this mask on my face until the sides of the sheet began to dry out i.e 45mins

💃 Results:
my face looked fairer than my neck 😅 ( The brightening effect of this mask is very noticeable ) and the effect last through out the day 🙌  minus skin irritation and breakouts





 5/5 💎💎💎💎💎
 This  in box of 5 sheetmask. These make are a steal for the 💵 

**PRODUCT SENT FOR REVIEWS ALL OPION SHARED IS HONEST AND MY OWN**

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??

[Review] Natural Pacific Fresh Herb Origin Serum


Today I am going to share my thoughts on the popular scream serum by Natural pacific. Now if your skin is damaged this stings a lot but on my skin this surprisingly  didn't stung at all ( does that mean my skin is healthy 👀)


Today I am going to share my thoughts on the popular scream serum by Natural pacific. Now if your skin is damaged this stings a lot but on my skin this surprisingly  didn't stung at all ( does that mean my skin is healthy 👀)

Quantity: 50 ml
Price : 27.10$

Packaging: Frosted glass bottle/ vial with a glass dropper. The lid is secure so no fear of it being spilled but this bottle is not travel friendly because its made out of glass



About the product:

This serum has a strong zesty/ citrusy scent. Its a biphasic serum meaning it has two layers the upper is oil based while the bottom layer is water based. To get the best of the worlds shaking the bottle prior to use is recommended.


 The serum is amber colored and has a very runny texture. It spreads easily onto the skin. I place 5 drops of the serum on to my palm spread it evenly and then pat it onto my face. I have been using this for quite sometime and have noticed how my skin texture has improved over time



The pores on my skin have reduced to some extent and I have noticed slight glow too. What I love about this serum is that this does not feel greasy even though it has oil in it nor does it cause breakout.  It takes about 20-30 minutes for the serum to absorb immediately into the skin.

i really recommend this serum as it its suitable for all skin types
you can purchase this style Korean website here

Garnier skinactive tissue mask hydra bomb

It wouldn't be wrong to say that western skincare is lacking when  compared to the Asian skincare.  The technology and the ingredients used in Asian skincare are quite effective in treating various skincare problems. With that being said I am very happy when I see brands come up with products that are affordable and give satisfactory results
Garnier recently came out with these tissue masks aka the sheet masks which don't claim to do a lot many things another than give skin a boost of  hydration




I was sent two masks by Lotus Pr from the range to try out .
I will start with the super hydrating replenishing mask



This mask has pomegranate extracts and hyaluronic acid. It is suitable for sensitive skin type
According to the direction this mask should be applied to the face for 15 minutes after which one will notice rehydrated , smooth and radiant skin. Using this mask Continuously  for one week will reduce fine lines and give plumper skin

As soon as I tore open the foil I was met with a pleasant scent now be warned that the scent is strong and lingers through out the duration the mask is applied. In the beginning it smelled nice but then after some time it began to smell like alcohol. The mask has two sheets. One is blue scratchy cover like thing which you are supposed to discard and the other is a soft tissue like white mask. In my opinion the blue cover is just a nuisance so just get rid of it as soon as you open the mask because it makes it so hard to settle the actual tissue mask on your face ( i wasted a good 10 minutes trying to understand that stupid thing and finally took the wise decision and threw it)




This mask literally just clings onto the face without much effort. I seriously just roamed around the house with this on and wasn't afraid of it falling off ( some thing I haven't experienced with Korean sheetmasks) it just sticks to the face like second skin. The sheet is generously drenched with serum .( almost dripping). But the fit is terrible . The cut out  for the eyes is small and placed a bit high so when I applied it onto my face it was almost invading the margins of my lower lid. The cut out for the lip is not comfortable either.  The size of the mask is good though( I have a small face so I tucked out the ends under my chin )
I left this mask on for more than 15 minutes because I tried my best to take a presentable selfie but no matter how many poses I tried I still looked like psycho killer.😅


After removing the mask I tried my best to tolerate the tacky feel of serum but it was just too much for my oily skin and eventually I had no choice but to wash my face. My skin even after washing felt soft and plump. This surprising brightened my complexion which is new as it didn't claimed to do so. I waited for the dreaded pimples to pop up the next day but they didn't.  Altogether for the price this mask is great for people with dry to combination skin. For oily skin beauties it would be best to use this in winter or try out the variant designed for oily skin. This is also great when you want to have a fun pampering skincare session with friends or you want to prep you skin for some special occasion ( Eid or wedding maybe  😏)
