Maybelline all in one clear smooth powder to go





Now who does like cosmetics which come in cute small packaging? Everyone right 

I already own the full size version of Maybelline clear smooth all in one pressed powder (and love it) but when I saw this at the pharmacy I had to purchase its so cute



Quantity 3.7 g

Price 250 Pkr




Packaging

It’s a small round light pink compact, very sturdy comes with a little makeup sponge  and mirror

About the product

It’s pretty much the same as the full size version (read review here) gives medium coverage is light weigh does not looks cakey the good thing is that you can keep it in your purse as its small in size and does not takes much space


 



You can try out this deluxe version for yourself to see if it works out for your skin as it’s not too pricey

Maybelline is available at just4girls.pk beauty arena.pk and daraz.pk online while it can also be purchased at Maybelline counters present in your city

Essence glossy lip balm in cherry brownie





I love winters I really do, it may feel dull and boring for some but for me winters means snuggling in warm quilts and blankets, munching a lot of delicious dry fruits. Sipping Ovaltine from a mug not to mention the  Pink flushed  cheeks and  red nose from the cold  but one thing which sours the mood a little is chapped dry lips ugh hate them 

And that my friend is the reason lip balms were created. 

Essence cosmetics has a wide range of sweet yummylicious scented lip balms, this one in cherry brownies smelled heavenly to me 

Quantity: 8ml

Price: 230 Pkr 



Packaging:

It’s a cute small red squeeze tube with a nozzle like end



About the product

It’s quite moisturizing and has no glitter specks in it
Gives a light red tint to my lips while smoothing and hydrating them at the same time
The formula is not too sticky or oily it’s more like a gloss
I like to keep this in my college bag for everyday use it’s a good product to try out . you can  either use it alone or top it on a lipstick for some glossy effect

Makeup revolution: the matte effect foundation





Shade; ivory

Quantity:25ml

Price: 350 pkr

Its quite a task to find a perfect match for your skin when purchasing a pressed powder concealer or foundation and even more hard when purchasing it from an online store because sometimes they don’t have the swatch available or the lightening is terrible I am sure some of you might have bought a product which is either too light for your skin or too dark ( I went through this experience one)

So I was a bit doubtful when purchasing this foundation since it had too options for fair skin one in Cool ivory and the other in shade ivory

After a long mental debate I trusted my instincts and bough this shade (ivory) and was quite happy when it matched my skin color (see always trust your instinct)
This should have been named as a tinted moisturizer or a cc cream due to its hydrating properties and sheer coverage



About the packaging;

There is nothing much to tell about it. The small rectangular tube is squeezable has a somewhat secure black cap at the end. The product comes out from a tiny nozzle





About the product



Let me clear one thing this foundation is not matte at all its quite sheer and gives a dewy finish
The formula is quite light in weight and is buildable it does not has any shimmer particles in it

My opinion

I don’t wear heavy coverage foundations or pressed powder mainly due to the reason that I have oily skin so I look out for products which allow my skin to breathe plus I don t have many pimples or acne so sheer to medium coverage  works best for me plus I do have concealer to  cover my dark circles

I wore this on my skin for a good 8 hrs. when I was traveling from one city to another. My skin did got shiny after 4 hrs. which I blotted with a tissue. Surprisingly the product did not transfer on the tissue which is a good thing. I also didn’t experience any break outs



This may not be a good foundation for oily skin due to its dewy finish but  is pretty good for dry skin my mom wears this every day to give herself an even skin tone

You might like it:

You might not like it

You have oily skin
You wear heavy/medium coverage foundation

I rate this product 3.5 out of 5
