the packaging is cute, reminds of those interactive games I used to play on my Windows 98 computer a decade ago , lol memories
 This comes in a squeeze tube packaging, the nozzle sides is sealed so rest assured that the product is brand new. Elizavecca has started adding originality seal to its products so you can know scratch the code to check whether your product is original or counterfeit

This primer comes in 30 ml  formulation. The salmon color does a perfect job of blending with the skin color. This feels like silicone but   gives ton of hydration and moisture to skin.

This helps the makeup to blend quite easily. It helps the foyndation to adhere better to the skin.
It blurs out pores and imperfections to some extent. But it does not completely hide them or fill them.
A little goes a long way, you dont need a lot of product. Just a little more than pea size amount is enough for the whole face
The formula is very hydrating so for summer season this is better suited for normal to dry skin. But I would definitely wear this under my bb cream in winter season

One important thing to note is that this didnt cause any type of breakouts or clog my pores. The formula is very light weight and removes easily with micellar water

Elizavecca Donkey Piggy Donkey Creamy Cleansing Melting Cream Review

The name of the product is quite a mouth full admittedly but the performance of the product is quite impressive so I can easily over look the long name 🙂
This product is designed to dissolve makeup remove sebum and  dead skin

Two main star ingredients are Donkey oil and Camellia oil. Now many of you might be supporting raised eyebrows in alarm or perhaps scrunched up you face in horror but you are going to be surprised to learn that Donkey oil has excellent moisture retaining properties combined with Camellia oil,the balm not only soothes the skin but also prevents aging and moisturizes

I have something close to a phobia when it comes to glass container and this cleansing cream is store in a glass jar with a metal lid.

There is a protective plastic lid inside to prevent spillage because in hot weather the cream changes is consistency to that of an oil. Its slighly opague with a mild scent and has vaseline like balm consistency.

I have previously used a balm cleanser so my expectations naturally where a bit high, surprisingly this turned out to be as good as I hoped

• • LogIts pretty easy to use just scoop out a medium sized dollop of balm from the jar with the help of spatula (included in the box) warm it in the palm of your hands and massage it onto the face in circular motion with  bit of water. The balm turns milky and your will see the makeup emusifying with the balm. Once I am thoroughly satisfied that all the makeup has dissolved. I wash my face with water and follow up with a foaming cleanser to get rid of the balm and makeup.

Pixi Beauty Lash & Line Love Review

Pixi Beauty never fails to surprise me, not only do they excel in creating amazing skincare products, their makeup products are equally impressive

I received a box called Lash & line love which contains 9 products to help you Ace up the eyemakeup look
Endless Silky Eye Pen ($12)
my favourite product in the collection. These are a perfect dupe for  Urban Decay 24/7s eye pencils. Each pencil is color coded so it makes it super easy to reach out for them when in a hurry. There are about 22 shades in the  range so there is color for every one.

 These feel so creamy and buttery and glide on the eyelids without dragging or tugging.  The best part is that these take about a minute to set  so you can easily smoke out the line or blend it. Once set this does not smudge at all.  The formula is 100% waterproof and requires micellar water or oil cleanser for removal.

 Velvet Violet: a dusty purple color perfect for a light all over wash of color on the lid or to brighten up the lower lash line.

Rose Glow: this is a beautiful bronze color which has a metallic shift to it. I have used it to highlight my inner corner and used it as a mono color all over my lid. The metallic shift gives this color a duo chrome quality.

 Black Blue: cobalt blue color. I am really enjoying this shade its perfect for that pop of color in summer

 Matte Mulberry : burgundy brown shade. This is so beautiful. I have used this to line my upper lash line and this really makes the brown in my eyes pop

Eye Bright Liner ($12)  

pinkish nude colour to line the waterline. Placing nude colored liner on the water line really brightens the eyes and makes them look bigger.

Prior to this I used to line my waterline with a white eyeliner and it looked very unnatural. But this color is perfect becauss its not staight up white. This has a very thin tip and is retractable so no sharpening is required

Eye Define Waterline ($14)
  this looks similar to  Eye Bright liner in terms of packaging. It has the same retractable mechanism. The color is very deep black. It takes some time to set but once it dries down it budgeproof.

 I dont like to line my waterline with black liner because it makes my eyes appear even more smaller so I have been using this to as a pencil liner for my upper lash line

Lash Line Ink ($14) 
This felt tip liner initially felt dry and I was bummed out but then I saw this great tip on Pixi Beauty page about flipping the tip with a tweezer and wow I was so surprised by the intense pigmentation.

The tip is soft and can be used to create both thick and thin lines. To keep the ink from flowing smoothly I keep my pen in upside position. This is not waterproof but it holds well on my oily eyeliner


Large Lash Mascara ($16) 
this mascara is designed for volume. The brush is quite fat like maybelline mascara's

 The formula feels very wet. I like quite voluminoius thick lashes so for me this mascara didnt give me the drama I desired but I like this for everyday wear. The bristles do an excellent job of separating lashes and defining them

Black Lacquer Lash Primer ($15)  

A 3-in-1 primer. The shape of the brush is pretty interesting it has short spiky rubber bristles. Unlike many lash primers in the market this is black in color. The fotmula is on the drier side.

 I like to prime my lashes with this and follow up with my favourite mascara. After using this multiple times I have noticed that the brush lifts up the lashes to give extra curl

I am very impressed by the quality and affordability of these products. GOOD JOB Pixi Beauty

All of the products can be purchased individually from pixi beauty website

Activated Charcoal scrub by Marjaan Botanicals Review

I said goodbye to bar soap a long time ago when I suspected it to be as one of the culprits for causing acne on my face so when i picked up this Activated Charcoal scrub by @marjaanbotanicals my heart thumped in a painful way and all those memories of bad skin days flashed before my eyes, lol I have to stop being so over dramatic.

I have beeb using this handmade bar scrub three times a week on my face for 1 month so here are my final thoughts. This contains some notable ingredients like activated charcoal, fullers earth, neem, turmeric powder, extra virgin olive oil
Packaging: wrapped quite beautifully in  paper (in my excitement I unwrapped the paper and then realized I was supppse to take a picture for a blog) and then placed in a hand made cotton pouch I love the presentation of the product

The bar weights 120 gms and fits the palm of the hand quite well. There are visible charcoal particles ( in variable size) running through out the bar. Unlike many bar soaps this maintains its shape and does not become mushy in water. I have used this in shower on my back and it retained it shape and hardness.there is a mild herbal scent to it.
This is a foaming scrub. To get the foam you have to rub this several times across the palm with water to get lather but if you use the bar directly on the skin like it did there will be less foam. The charcoal particles do a fantastic job of removing dead skin cells. My skin feels soft and smooth every time after I use this. I get a lot of break outs on my back in summer so I decided to test this on my back to find out if it helps with acne and I was surprised how this reduced the pimple on my back.

This bar scrub has restored my trust in bar soap 💞😂. If you have sensitive skin or problematic acne skin I suggest you give this a try because its cruelty free, hand made, natural, paraben free, sls free,triclosan free and fragrance free
