Latest Fashion Boutique for Pakistani Dresses Online

Boutique is defined as "a small store that sells stylish clothing, jewelry, or other usually luxury goods'' Today's post is about Latest Pakistani Dresses you can find online. As you might have noticed fashion is changing at a rapid pace. So to keep up with the current trends it is best to keep in touch with the online world so that one remains up to date regarding all the fashion fads. But due to limited options at walk in store some of fashion items become common and lack luster.


Online shopping is a very convenient way to buy your favorite dresses in a short time.
Despite the fact that more and more people specially younger generation is gravitating  towards western apparel. The demand for eastern attire remains strong till this date.
Keeping up with expanding e-commerce Pakistan has a very favorable e-market at the moment. For many Pakistani women who are doing full time job and juggling a family at the same time, online shopping is the only remedy to look best.  Personally I prefer shopping for Pakistani Clothes Online, as I can easily find all my favorite brands and designer collections in a few clicks, moreover I can receive my purchase within a week time. With the sweltering months of May and June approaching online shopping is the best way to save one self from a heat stroke


Looking at the recent Pakistani fashion shows it seams that both long and short shirts are trending at the moment. Moreover cigarette pants have once again taken over the Pakistani Fashion space. Remember the digital prints which made every one go gaga a few years ago, Well good news !!! They are back , better and more vibrant than before. Dressing up to the nines is the unspoken rule when it comes to Parties. After all everyone wants to look their best on that special day. There is a clear line between wedding and party apparel when it comes to Pakistani Fashion. Too much bling and loads of jewellery means wedding event. Sophisticated dress with chic accessories is reserved for party. These days boutiques and designer wear is.what everyone chooses when it comes to party wear. There is a variety of dress options like Aline frocks, Maxi dress, Gowns and Sarees. You can look up Party Dresses 2019 online


This article is probably going to be incomplete if I didn't mention Lawn dressesn after all they are the only fabric which makes summer more bearable and colourful !! Dont you agree? If party dress is not your cup of tea I am going to shed some light on the Lawn Dresses 2019. The lawn collections this year got a total new revamped look. The prints were fresh , the color scheme was vibrant and each designer flaunted their creative skills. Some of the notable collections which are worth looking are by Maria B,  Zainab Chottani, Khaadi and Eden Robe. The prices were pretty affordable this time and catered to the needs of all age groups . What is impressive about this year's collection is that most designers made luxury affordable for common man by reducing the prices considerably. Some designers like Sana Safinaz introduced an impressive collection of 40 designs this season.

What is your favorite lawn collection this year ?

[Review] SOROCI Fucoidan Peeling & Soothing Pad

SOROCI focuses on letting your skin breathe with the slogan 'Cosmetics that allow your skin to breathe comfortably' and conducts research on cosmetics that improve your skin and life.


I recently got the opportunity to try their  newly launched SOROCI Fucoidan Peeling & Soothing Pad



Fucoidan is an ingredient extracted from seaweeds and acts as a PHA. It is a low-stimulant peeling component , to remove keratin and sebum, and to help smooth out skin texture 



Packaging:  The two pads come in there separate tubs in a single box. Personally I love the slim design and the vibrant blue and pink packaging. To make it more hygienic Soroci also added a pair of plastic tweezers ( I for some reason lost mine and cant find them )


Capacity : 35 sheets / 80ml * 2ea


SOROCI Fucoidan Peeling Pad




SOROCI Fucoidan Peeling pads that contain the fucoidan component & PHA for exfoliation and sebum controls of the skin.



Ingredients

Water, Algae Extract, Cereus Grandiflorus (Cactus) Extract, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Collagen Extract, Glycerin, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Germ Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Extract, Morus Alba bark Extract, Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Propolis Extract, Lycium Chinensis Fruit Extract, Schizandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Poncirus Trifoliata Fruit Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Gluconolactone, Sodium Hyaluronate, Melaleuca Alternifolia Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil

SOROCI Fucoidan Soothing Pad




SOROCI Fucoidan Soothing pads that contain the fucoidan component & propolis extract help to soothe and calm irritated skin.

Ingredients

Water, Propolis Extract, Algae Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Germ Extract, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Glycerin, Panthenol, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Extract, Glyceryl Acrylate / Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Bark Extract, Propolis Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sodium PCA, Sodium Magnesium Silicate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carbomer, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil

The peeling pad has a plain and embossed surface to remove all the texture / dead skin

I find the material to be sturdy. It scrubs all the texture and makes the skin smooth. Moreover the herbal scent is very pleasant

On the other hand the soothing pads are great for hydrating skin ( if used as moisture pads). The toner is enough to cover the whole face. Moreover the pad remains moist after application. This has smooth surface on  both sides and feels thicker than peeling pads

Personally I enjoy both of these steps and prefer using them day and night. These work great in sorts of weather condition and all skin types

You can purchase these at Soroci Website here

[Review] Aromatica Rosemary Haircare

I recently posted on my instagram about this cool Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo. So thought about reviewing the whole range as a whole on my blog. Well the conditioner is missing I know but since conditioner aggravate my sebhoric dermatitis I dont plan on buying the Aromatica Rosemary conditioner anytime soon


I will kick off my review with Aromatica Scalp Scaling Shampoo


Features
Gently remove dead skin cells on your scalp during shampooing. Scalp enhancing complex™ formulated with Rosemary,
Bhringraj and Coriander nourish your hair root while Biotin and Panthenol fortify hair.
Slightly Acid / Silicone Oil and Sulfate Free
Gently exfoliate stubborn dead skin cells from the scalp with low-irritant LHA*
100% natural fragrance (essential oil blend), refreshing herbal scent. Produces abundant foam and effectively cleanses hair and scalp with a small amount.



 A little sample of this shampoo convinced me to get the full size and this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The scent is so fresh (mixture if rosemary and mint). This lathers really well and requires only a small amount to wash hair. I usually shampoo my hair twice in the shower but with this one time was enough to clean my hair. The scent lingers for days (I wash my hair after every 3 days) The special ingredients are Rosemary, Bhringraj and Coriander along with Biotin and Panthenol. This is slightly acidic PH and is Sulfate Free This does not give the cooling sensation on the scalp but it removes the sebum and hair product build-up (dry shampoo) effectively. The 400ml bottle is sturdy and will last me several months


Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scrub

Features
Formulated with the mineral-rich granules of Dead Sea salt from Israel,
Rosemary Scalp Scrub deeply cleanses hair follicles and removes sebum and waste from the scalp. Herbal extract complexes such as rosemary, brinjal, coriander, oregano, and basil, which are directly derived by AROMATICA, help calm and purify the scalp while providing essential nutrients



I have done a detailed review on this here. So I will keep my review short here. This basically is a very efficient scalp scrub which effectively removes product buildup along with dead skin. The squeeze tube is very handy and I use this once a week to clear my scalp. The salt gives enough scrub effect. This also relieves itchy scalp and gives cooling sensation. Works like magic for sebhoric dermatitis and humid weather.  Would repurchase again and again

Aromatica Rosemary Root Enhancer

Features
Rosemary Root Enhancer is a unique scalp essence that contains only nutrients needed for scalp. Rosemary, biotin, Black-Food Complex™ maintain healthy and strong hair.
It makes your hair strong and healthy from the roots.



I have tried a few hair tonics in the past and trust me none of them made any noticeable difference to my hair mainly because the main ingredient used in most of the hair tonics is mineral oil. Now there is a debate going over the effectiveness of mineral oil ( its negative and positive effects on the skin)
While the opinion remainds divided. I personally was intrigued to see that this contained no silicon, mineral oil in the ingredient list. In fact except from alcohol most of the them are plant based extracts and Biotin.


It would be too early to say that I have noticed hair growth with this because it takes over a month or two to figure that out but what I can tell you is that this feels refreshing on the scalp and relieves itch. The spray mechanism helps to evenly distribute on the scalp. I like ro section my hair and them spray it directly on my scalp. The rosemary plus mint scent is noticeable. This gives cooling sensation on the scalpn unlike many hair treatments/tonics/hair oil this does not weight hair down. I spritz this on my freshly washed scalp almost everyday

 Aromatica has toally won over its gentle and effective skincare products. You can purchase all of these at Jolse here

The patches adhere firmly and give instant soothing and cooling sensation. What makes this stand out from the rest is that the patches don't dry out fast.

[Review] MISSHA Fresh Scalp Therapy Cooling Pack

After trying korean shampoos, this cool hair pack by Missha caught my eye particularly because this contains AHA to thoroughly cleanse the scalp


Features
AHA Complex support scalp caring, green clay ingredient helps to remove the dead skin cells, sebum and different aged substances.
The extract of peppermint leaves and peppermint oil gives a fresh cooling effect to scalp. Contains Aloe Vera leaves juice to moisturize hair and form a moisture coating for hair.



How To Use
After shampoo, dispense right amount onto your palm, apply on scalp with your fingertips, and massage.
Rest 2-3 minutes or depending on the condition of the scalp, then wash off with lukewarm water thoroughly.



The packaging is a standard green tub which holds 200ml of product. The lid is sturdy. Overall I think 200 ml is a decent amount for a hair pack


This is specially designed to be applied on scalp. The pack has a smooth creamy texture with a nice herbal/mint scent. I usually scoop a dollop of this with my fingers and massage the product on the scalp/root of the hair


The hair pack gives instant cooling sensation. Despite the fact that this contains AHA in it. This didn't cause any irritation/stinging on the scalp. Moreover the clay helped with the oil production as well ( my scalp didn't become oily as quick as it usually does)


According to directions. It should be left on the scalp for 2-3 minutes. Unlike conditioner this washes off easily. After several uses I have noticed that this does help with the clarifying action. All the product build up and dry shampoo is removed easily.


I am definitely going to get a lot of uses with this hair pack this summer. For the price this is actually a good scalp cleansing pack and I don't regret my purchase at all

I purchased MISSHA Fresh Scalp Therapy Cooling Pack at Jolse

[Review] SIORIS Time Is Running Out Mist

I prefer mists for summer as they are lightweight and give skin the boost of hydration it needs during the day.  So when everyone started raving about a certain mist I was curious


I have mentioned this time and time again that I have oily skin so trying an oil infused mist sounds a bit absurd (like oil on oil) But using rosehip oil for few months gave me courage to dip my toes in the murky depths of water again ( hehe)


( SIORIS Time Is Running Out Mist  an oil based mist toner)


Features
Freshness: The content of the raw material produced in one year.
Organic: Citrus Junos Fruit Water made from the organic seasonal fruit.
pH level: This is a slightly acidic product with a pH of 5.31


As you can see the simple packaging is very beautiful. The plastic bottle is sturdy and has a nice mist mechanism



The Time Is Running Out Mist contains a nice blend of oils mixed in Citrus Junos water. The ingredients are freshly sourced and have a shell life of 6 months. Sioris claims that this mist moisturizes skin in just 3 seconds


This is a biphasic mist ( an oil layer on top , water layer on bottom ) . The oil is somewhat yellow/orange in color and has citrusy scent. Directions state to shake the bottle begore using so that the two layers merge together as one.


The nozzle on this sprays evenly. Its not extremely fine but then the mist does not comes out as spit ( forgive me for saying that ) but some nozzles deposit a lot of heavy droplets on the skin


Due to oil I believed this would feel somewhat heavy on my skin but to my utter relief the texture feels just like any other water based mist. Except for the fact that this feels more moisturizing.


The citrus scent dissipates after few minutes so its not much of a problem if you are sensitive to scents.


The mist not only moisturizes skin it also leaves a beautiful sheen on the skin ( just like  glass skin ). I have used this on its own after washing my face and on top of makeup. On both occasions the mist has made my skin look healthy and beautiful.


Here is what I have noticed. Unlike other face mists I don't have to spray my face again and again as the oil layer locks in the moisture. Moreover the oil mixture does not cause breaks outs or aggravate acne. Its light enough to be used all year round be it spring, summer or winter.

The best part is that Sioris can be purchased now at Jolse here
