INGREDIENTS
Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Kaolin, Calamine, Glycerin, Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether, Methyl Perfluoroisobutyl Ether, Glyceryl Stearate, Bentonite, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Stearic Acid, Sorbitan Stearate, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Dimethicone, Allantoin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Butylene Glycol, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Water, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, CI 77491, Fragrance
Packaging : A very sturdy plastic tub with a protective lid to prevent the mask from oxidizing. The tub contains 80ml of product
The name speaks for it self, this is a bubble mask which means that it will foam/bubble up within few minutes once it mixes with air
Lol this gives an illusion of ice cream once you open a fresh tub ( tutti fruti anyone?)
For hygienic reasons I used a spatula to scoop out the product. This has a semi solid texture but once you rub it onto the skin it feels so creamy  The creamy texture transforms into foam within few minutes.
Here is a tip, screw back the lid as soon as you scoop out the desired amount of mask from the tub, this prevents the mask from foaming up and wasting
I feel like this mask does brighten the complexion considerably a lot. Though the bubbles tickle the skin a little bit ( its nothing uncomfortable ) I feel like my skin feels a lot more cleaner and matte
this retails for 22.4$ and can be purchased at kolse website here

Latest Women's Lawn Collections 2018 Online

So I am back with another fashion related post. Since the weather has changed a lot in past week I feel that now is the right time to discuss Lawn trends.
Honestly speaking summers is my least favourite season of the year. Please Winters Stay a little longer 😢
What makes the terribly hot weather a little more bearable is a glass of cool refreshing drink and a well stitched, good quality lawn dress.
Since many designer brands have already started launching their Lawn Collection for this year, I am going to shed some light on VS Lawn 2018

As always the collection is beautiful. A lot of bright colors are used in contrast to create stunning, feminine Lawn dress. What pleases me the most is that every piece in the collection has its own unique print design and have you checked out the price of these???
Its so affordable and easy on the pocket.
I am glad that digital prints have gone out of style ( not my favourite trend of 2017).
The current Lawn design look way more flattering plus the striking color selection os very pleasing on the eyes.
If wearing bright colors not your styles and you prefer muted pastel colors then I suggest you give Star Lawn 2018 collection a look, I promise you wont be disappointed at all.
This collection is suitable for older age women. The patterns are delicate and look sophisticated. This too is very affordable. Something  under 2000 Pkr.
 I am glad that with passing time more and more brands are coming up with very practical looking lawn collection. The designs are elegant and perfect for college and working women. Unlike many  main stream brands who release expensive  Lawn collections, Vs Lawn and Star Lawn have great  lawn suits which fit every budget. One of my favourite ways to shop is online shopping. If you are short on time and don't have the patience to walk through multiple shops to find the lawn dress you want, try online shopping you would be surprised to the see more variety in lawn brands, prints and designs. Best part you can shop from the comfort of your house and receive what you have purchase at your doorstep too.
Pakstyle has just update their store with new launches , Now you can purchase Latest Lawn Collection 2018 at there store. So grab your favourite pieces before they are gone

Happy spring season !!

[REVIEW] Natural Pacific Fresh Green Tea Seed Serum







 if you ask me about my favourite skincare ingredient right now I am going to choose green tea 🍵 Can't stress enough how beneficial green tea is for oily skin. It soothes and calms the skin, prevents breakouts, and brightens skin.You might have noticed by looking through my instagram feed that i don't have stable skincare routine as i am always trying out new sheet mask or essence but one thing that i have achieved during my Korean skincare journey is that my skin looks so much healthier and glowy than before 

I have been using this Natural Pacific  Fresh Green Tea Seed Serum for sometime now and I am seriously sold by its performance.this serum contains 84% Camellia Sinesis Leaf Water and a whole bunch of oils. you can see the picture if you want to  know more about the ingredient list


 The vial is made out of matte glass and has a dropper cap. packaging wise this is bit of a nuisance as a single accident/ incident of dropping can smash the vial to pieces :( so this is only suited for our vanity table or skincare basket

The texture is thin and water like and smells so nice( this healed the cystic acne on my chin and hairline) It absorbs into the skin like a dream. My skin feels hydrated without that oily /greasy feel. I haven't noticed much brightening yet but this works great in terms of calming and moisturizing skin.

though it looks light green in the vial it imparts no color whatsoever onto the skin 

I usually use 6 drops of this on my face and use this (every night i am not testing a new product)  before going to bed. My skin texture has definitely improved with this serum.


This retails for 27.10 $ on @stylekorean_global website


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

PURITO Centella Green Level Buffet Serum [Review]

Have you ever used a skincare product which has made you feel special??
Purito puts in a lot of effort in creating their skincare product. Take this serum for example the core ingredient (Centella Asiatica) is hand picked.
Ever since I have started incorporating Centella Asiatic in my skincare I have noticed some drastic changes in my skin texture.
This serum by Purito is one of a kind unlike many skincare products this contains 49% pure centella asiatica extracts (many brands use centella water)
Packaging:
A beautiful green bottle with a pump mechanism this holds 60ml of product in it ( quite generous for a serum). Purito has recently revamped their packaging and I like the new design of the containers. The recycled  cardboard box has a full detailed ingredient list, instructions and illustrations  in both Korean and English
ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
This serum has a gel like texture and smells like herbs ( centella asiactica ) Initially when spreading the gel on the face it feels a little sticky but after 2-3 minutes once its fully absorbed the tackiness is gone. This is a very hydrating serum and layers well with other products
Results:
Other then maintaining skin moisture barrier, this soothes the skin and reduces redness. This calms does irritation and also prevents acne. Overall I am quite pleased with this serum and think this is suitable for all skin types due to its light weight gel like texture
this retails for 17$ at Purito website

My 1 month Hair Growth Journey with Cocoa Locks Hair Growth Program

All those of you who know me in person or have been reading my blog post for a long time must be aware, that i have been struggling with hair loss for a very long time ( almost 6 yrs )
I have tried out multiple hair growth tonics and hair supplements ans honestly I haven't experienced any noticeable difference so when I saw Cocoa locks One Month Hair Growth Program  i decided to give it a go
The brands motto is "Hair growth never tasted so good.”
And i agree them 100% this Growth Program comes in two formulation/flavours :the Cocoa Locks Hot Chocolate and the Cocoa Locks Shake,
I chose to try out the hot chocolate one because its one my most favourite beverage for winters
A little about my hair:
I have color treated, fine wavy hair which i have been wearing in  a bob haircut for 3 yrs. Long hair require lot of care and i don't have mich time to take proper care of my hair so chopping them short makes it more manageable.

I have been drinking this hot chocolate for almost one month and I am not lying, but this seriously made my hair grow. My short bob has now transformed into a lob ( long bob) moreover i have noticed a lot of baby hairs on my scalp
What I love about this hair growth hot chocolate is that the brand is very honest about their ingredients. There are lot of hair friendly ingredients like iron, vitamins etc to improve hair growth
This is gluten-free gluten me and cruelty free and each serving = 32 calories
Directions in making hot chocloate:
Take 1 or  2 teaspoons of Cocoa LoclsHot Chocolate in water, then add milk with sugar as desired to it ( that's how i make one  for me. On its own this tastes bland so i prepared to drink it with milk and sugar
Though this hasn't improved the volume of my hair ( I still have bald patches on my scalp)this has definitely increased the length of my hair.
The main question will I continue to drink this ? Yes absolutely, I am very please with the results. I haven't noticed any kind of side effects while using this plus I have a feeling that with continuous consumption this will increase the texture and thickness of my hair
you can purchase your very Cocoa Locks Hair Growth Drink here

Tiam My Signature A+ cream Review

Formerly known as O.S.T, Tiam is a Korean skincare brand popular in the skincare world for its Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum ( review of the serum will be posted soon). This cream is actually a rebranded version of 9-5 vitamin crema by O.S.T

An intensive hydrating cream that not only moisturizes but brightens skin.
 Recharge and renew your skin for a radiant, energized look every day.
 
[How to use]
Apply evenly and pat over face avoiding eye area to be fully absorbed.
 Use morning and night.
 Applying cream after My Signature C Source is highly-recommended
 to boost the effectiveness of both items.

Packaging:
Tinted glass jar containing 50ml of cream is enclosed in a red cardboard box.( no spatula provided so don't look for one)
Ingredients:
Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Mineral Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Arbutin, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Cyclomethicone, Beta-Glucan, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Stearate, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate,
The cream has a gel like texture, it spreads easily on the skin and has a citrusy scent. Though its light weight it takes a little time to absorb into the skin (1-2 mins).Once the cream is fully absorbed into the skin it does not leave a tacky/ oily residue behind.its suggested to use the cream with the serum.I have personally have noticed that the cream  absorbs a lot quicker into the skin when used with the vitamin C serum.
I have reserved this cream for night time skincare routine due to its highly moisturising nature, also I use my vitamin C serum at night. And I feel that the cream delivers maximum benefits when it remains on my skin for longer duration.
Results:  Soft skin which looks relatively brighter and glowy. It refreshes and refines the skin texture and makes the skin look less dull. While the cream has not made much of a difference on my acne scars, it thankfully prevented more acne and pimples from appearing. I personally like this cream and would recommend it for all skin types. Just a little word of advice. If you have oily skin I suggest you use this in small amount and add more if your skin requires as it takes time to absorbs and initially might feel a little heavy on the skin. Would I repurchase?? Yes because I have seen a lot of serums containing vitamin C but not many creams which have Vitamin C as a main ingredient.

[Review] The Wisely Garden Skin Water A by Bom

Many of you might be familiar with A by Bom, they make those fantastic and visually attractive flower and leave sheet masks that have been trending on internet lasts year ( I unfortunately haven't tried their sheet masks yet but they are on my wishlist)
Anyways you would be very surprised to know ( I know I was) that A by Bom manufactures a lot more skincare products other than just sheet masks
The Wisely Garden Skin Water is a first step skin toner containing seven plant ingredients with hydrating superpowers including Cactus Flower, Prickly Pear, and Resurrection Plant extracts. This is a gentle yet intensely hydrating toner that improves skin texture and replenishes fragile skin barrier.  It is formulated scent-free, alcohol free, and color-free ( source ~ bemused Korea website)
this is basically a first step toner which  is applied immediately after washing the face, it gives instant hydration to the skin and maintains the moisture and PH balance
This particular toner has a very unique ingredients list
Water, Propanediol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Citrate, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract, Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract, Adansonia Digitata Pulp Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Cereus Grandiflorus (Cactus) Flower Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Maltodextrin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
Cactus flower prevents loss of moisture from the surface of  skin  it also acts as an antioxidant
Another cactus-derived  ingredient prickly pear nourishes and rejuvenates the skin
I can also spot some other great ingredients like aloe, coconut and lacto bacillus ferment in this toner

Packaging:
This toner is packed in a  cardboard box with an illustration of a cute doll on the top. Inside there is a standard plastic bottle which holds 235ml of product. I found the nozzle like mechanism very practical to dispense out the product.

About the product:
The Wisely Garden Skin Water has a very liquidy, non sticky texture. It just feels like water but once you apply it to the skin it provides extraordinary hydration to the skin .
The claims mass by the brand are true, it is truly fragrance, alcohol and color free
I have been using this for almost two weeks now I love how soft this makes my skin feel. Its perfect for 7 skin method. I know many people apply toners with a cotton square but I don't like wasting my skincare products so I take a generous amount of this toner in the  palm of my hands and then gently pat it on my face
I have oily skin which turns dry in winters and I am totally amazed how easily this reduces the flakiness
In my opinion this is a very versatile product and suitable for all skin types
this retails.for 27$ at bemused korea website

Standard squeeze tube packaging , I love the chic white tube it looks so classy. The lid is transparent and closes pretty well. A single tube contains 150 ml of product in it.
About the products:
This smells heavenly, its mild and very refreshing ( this is one scent I would love to use in the morning as its so crisp and clean)
The texture is sticky gel like. Its transparent in color but there are tiny white colored particles in the cleanser. I used a small amount of product on the palm of my hand and was surprised how much foam this cleanser created by just a little bit of massaging.

My skin feels visibly brighter and clean. This effectively removes all the sebum from the skin surface while maintaining hydration and retaining skin moisture. I am so surprised to see how soft my skin feels after every use.
I once used this to remove makeup and was shocked how well this cleared my skin of all the dust and makeup  
I am very impressed with this cleanser and skincare brand in general because the ingredient list is simple, the packaging is aesthetically pleasing, its parabens free and the PH is perfect.

Swanicoco Shining Luminous Mask Pack - whitening
I was very impressed by the firming mask so I decides to try out rest of the masks u had in my stash by Swanicoco to see if others

Packaging Swanicoco Bio Nature Daily Swan Mask Pack has the same cute medicine jar  packaging only its grey in color
This has the same centella aciatica like scent to it. The essence is clear and water like.
This particular sheetmask has a thick cotton sheet. When I took the mask out of the packaging i noticed that there wasent any left.
The fit if this mask is not suitable for my face, it longer( has an  oval shape horizontally)
This Claims to whiten skin
Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Glycereth-26, Hydrolyzed Collagen, "Polysorbate 20/Sucrose Dilaurate/Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract ", Glutathione, Collagen Amino Acids, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, "Arginine/Alanine/Tyrosine/Histidine/Leucine/Methionine ", Erythritol, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Copper Tripeptide-1, "Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract/Glyceryl Caprylate/Ethylhexylglycerin", Pentapeptide-20, Alpha-Arbutin, "Ethyl hexanediol/Pentylene glycol/1,2-Hexanediol", Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, "Caprylhydroxamic Acid/Propanediol"

so swanicoco sent me a total of 5 masks to try from there skincare range i have already reviewed one of them so i will be reviewing two of them in this post and the other two in next post
Dr. Syul by Swanicoco 2GF Bio Mix Mask Pack. This mask retails for $4.
Major ingredients
 EGF, FGF, amino acid 6 complex, hyaluronic acid
 Bio cellulose high density structure gives perfect fit on skin with nutrition and moisture delivery.
  Combine EGF and FGF 1:1 ration for enhance elasticity and healthy skin care.
Unlike all the swanicoco sheet masks i have tried  this does not smell like centella aciatica the scent is mild and close to rice pudding ( yum yum )
The has a hydrogel material ( the  eye patches type one) , this adheres to the skin so well . The cut out of this mask is perfect. It fit the contours of my face so well.
The mask is sandwiched in a perforated plastic cover and a soft fabric like material.  I wore this one for 30 mins then patted the excess essence on my face ( there was a lot of it left in the foil packaging )
The essence is watery and absorbs very easily into the skin, I didn't notice any clogged pores or pimples after using this mask
This seriously made my skin so soft and bouncy. I really love this mask from swanicoco and would repurchase it
you can purchase this mask here at beauty tap website
SWANICOCO - Overnight Intensive Recharging Hydrogel Mask Pack - wrinkle care and whitening.

I have previously tried out hydrogel masks and I love how intensely hydrating and cooling on the face. Though the current cold weather is not ideal to try out a hydrogel mask ( I catch cold easily) I still wore this mask at night
This has the same signature centella asiatica  scent ( I have noticed that all swanicoco masks smell the same)
This is a 2 piece hydrogel masks which has a beautiful iridescent gold color. mask is sandwiched between two plastic covers and has an embossed honey comb design on one side ( gives the hydrogel adherence so it sticks to the face )
This mask has honey , propolis extract , hydrolyzed collagen , gold , sodium hyaluronate
The fit is good. Its easily adjustable and the cut outs for the eyes nose and mouth is good proportion. The clear essence feels a little heavier than water,

 I wore this mask  for  30 mins and noticed that this brightens complexion and deeply hydrates the skin. ( there was some left over essence in the foil which, i  patted on my arms and face)
Would I repurchase? Yes !!! Absolutely
