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

Essence I love extreme volume mascara

I have long thin lashes so for the past few months I have been on a hunt for a good volumizing mascara. Since mascara has a very short shelf life I did not wanted to buy something too expensive.

 This mascara caught my eye when I stopped by the essence makeup stand so I purchased this cutie praying it would live up to all that it claims on the packaging

Price: pkr 590

Quantity: 12ml

Packaging:

It has such a fun purple color fat tube. I really like how it stands out in my makeup bag

The wand is long and has a fat brush with tiny rubber bristles

One thing which I disliked about the essence products is that they are not sealed which means anyone can just open it swatch it, well hello bacteria and dried out product!!!

About the product:

The formula is dry unlike the Maybelline mascara which is quite wet. This mascara is not waterproof and can be removed easily with soap and water it has a faint scent (which I can’t detect) which vanishes after application 

The short bristles grab each lash and dump decent  amount of product on them however too many coats of this mascara can make the eyelashes look clumpy

My opinion:

it adheres to the lashes well and gives them volume and dramatic length when I wore this to a family occasion everyone thought I was wearing false eyelashes lol. For the price this is a great volumizing and lengthening mascara

I did not experienced any smudging nor flaking for 8hrs while wearing this mascara

You might like it;

If you have short sparse eyelashes

You like dramatic eyelashes look

You are looking for cute and affordable mascara

You might not like it

If you are looking for a waterproof mascara
