[REVIEW] ✨ Leegeeham Hyal B5 Moisture Mask✨

Hyaluronic acid is not one of my favourite ingredients when it comes to sheetmasks because It often leaves my skin feeling tacky but This one sheet mask changed my whole perspective on hyaluronic acid.


About the brand:
Leegeeham combines cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to achieve a healthy complexion
About the product
The packaging is just like any other sheet mask its an aluminium foil with a matte texture. The instruction and ingredients list is stated in both Korean and English
Made with 100% pure cotton this mask feels so much refined and better than all the sheet masks I have tried previously. The sheet is well made, the texture is smooth and though its thin, its quite absorbent so its totally drenched with hyaluronic acid and B5 without any residual serum/essence unless you squeeze the serum out with your own hands.




This mask has protective plastic back cover to keep it from tearing or damage.
Now I don't have anything against hyaluronic acid containing sheets masks but I have noticed that often these kind of masks are high in glycerin content hence the tacky feel but the serum of this by leegeeham feels different. Its light weight and very viscous at the same time. This absorbs completely into the skin leaving behind a soft matte finish. I also noticed that this brightened my complexion. I wore this for 25-30mins approx because the sheet began to dry up on certain areas like my nose, chin and sides of my face.

Though its suggested to wear this sheet mask after applying toner I wore it on its own and it performed great. My skin felt so soft and smooth throughout the day. My skin didn't produce much oil because it wad hydrated and well moisturizer nor did I felt like slapping on amy face cream.the effect lasted all day long even though I washed my face twice after this mask application
I'm thoroughly impressed with this mask and would give it 5/5 💎💎💎💎💎

Black Friday Shopping Haul 2017


November calls for warm jackets, delicious chicken corn soup, great sales and big shopping events yup you have guessed it right . I am indeed talking about BLACK FRIDAY
In case you have been living under the rock for the past few years and don't know what's Black Friday I am going shed some light on the topic for you. According to google Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in United states where many retailers and stores offer big discounts. For the past few years this has been followed by many stores situated out side the US and has now become a global phenomenon. To know more check out this cool article at BLACK FRIDAY WIKI
Pakistan too has caught up with this shopping trend and for the last two or maybe three years . Many online stores have been offering black Friday discounts.
I managed to grab a lot of great items from the rack and online stores during the Black Friday sales last year. So I have decided to share some of my shopping secrets for Black Friday Deals to help you guys cross out more products from your wish list this year.
1. Make a list if things you need .its easy to end up buying a bunch of useless items that you buy only because they are on sale. To stay focused make a list and stick to it.
2. Design a budget: one of the major mistakes I made last year was not outlining a budget for myself.  So I ended up spending a lot then I should have
3. Research before hand: Its best to check various stores for price differences and the discounts they will be offering before making the actual purchase.  Its also better to see if the particular item ( lets say clothes or makeup) suits you? See swatches reviews of products online so that you know your are purchasing the right product
4.  Use the coupons. You would be surprised to know but many stores have special coupons which can be added to your purchase hence help you save up more money. Search online for  coupons print them or save them on your phone so that you can use them on Black friday
5.Place combined order to save up on shipping, one of my best tricks on saving money on black Friday is placing a big order
Many online stores offer free shipping when you place an order of certain amount.
So when is Black Friday 2017 in Pakistan?
This year it is on 24th November 2017. Its actually the last Friday of the month November. So the date varies every year.
Black Friday Deals 2017
Many stores have already announced the various deals offered at their store. To know all about the deals and discounts its best to subscribe to the newsletter so that all the details are directly emailed you and you don't miss out on any thing .
One particular store whose Black Friday deals stood out to me most is Pakstyle.pk just like last year they are offering crazy discounts and. Special deals on almost every item on their store.

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

PURITO Snail Clearing BB Cream SPF38/PA++ 30ml

When it comes to asian bb cushion and bb creams I have heard many people often complain that the shade of the base makeup was too light/grey/ashy for their skin color or that Asian bb creams don't have much variety in shade range ( specifically those of you who have lovely dusky skin or their skin color ranges from NC/NW 20-40 ) I am reviewing an Asian bb cream which comes in shades #21 #23 and #27 so those who love Asian cosmetics but cant find  a good match for your skin color this one is for you.
This BB cream has a standard squeeze tube packaging which I find very convenient and hygienic. It contains 30 ml of product. It has a  screw top which is quite secure and keeps the bb cream fresh.
This bb cream contains snail mucin filtrate and 10 free formulation meaning its free from paraben, ethanol, benzophenol, animal fat, BHT,paraffin talc, phthalate, formaldehyde, bemzophenone and triethanolamine which is super cool considering the fact that snail mucin has great skin rejuvenating and healing properties. Also the 10 ingredients mentioned above are one of the major culprits of causing acne, clogged pores and irritation so this is perfect if you have problematic acne prone skin.
The texture of this bb cream is very easy to spread and blend-able +layerable moreover its light weight. This gives a semi glowy finish. The coverage is medium which can be either sheered out or build to full coverage (depends on your preference) I like how this does not feel heavily or greasy on my skin.
This blemish balms targets three skin problems  at a time
1. It gives sun protection SPF 38 PA++
2. It acts a natural looking base for your skin so hides imperfections
3. Anti wrinkle
I used this in flash photography and was so happy that I didn't get a flash back even though it contains spf 38. So this is great for taking photos 🙆
My bb cream is in shade 27 which is quite dark for me ( I have fair skin) but I am happy that I discovered a great product even though the shade didn't match me.

5/5 ❤❤❤❤❤
