Around three weeks ago MimoByM surprised all of the Skincare enthusiasts by dropping the ''Bright Like A Star'' skincare line . I have been testing all of the four products for 2 weeks now ( the minimum time suggested by brand to see visible difference) . So I think it is the right time to pen down ( read type) my final thoughts.
Now it is not that often that you see me review Pakistani skincare brands on my blog because:
1. Most of the brands are not honest about their ingredients list and the use of term 'natural /herbal' just makes it more shady and untrustable
2. The quality is often so poor that the product disintegrates within a few weeks.
So I was genuinely very curious to try the first ever korean inspired skincare range from a very reliable online store. I totally appreciate how the brand is 100% transparent with the ingredients list.
The first thing that made my heart race was seeing the line ' A Product of Mimo By M Pakistan' printed on the box. So proud of you MimoByM. I also liked how the brand went along with the soft feminine packaging, Looks so aesthetic . All the products are ''VEGAN. CRUELTY FREE. ALCOHOL FREE. ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE FREE''. The mild citrus scent is from Lemon Peel Oil ( very minute quantity )
The Bright Like A Star line consists of :
Bright Like A Star Clarifying & Refreshing Glow Gel Cleanser (150 ml) Retails: 1900
Bright Like A Star Clarifying & Soothing Comfort Toner (150 ml) Retails: 1900
Bright Like A Star Complexion & Texture Enhancing Brightening Serum (30ml)
Bright Like A Star Skin Refining & Regenerating Moisturizer (50g)
Before I begin, allow me to introduce you all to my skin type. I have oily/dehydrated skin , acne prone with some visible crater likes pores on the nose and cheeks. For the past few weeks my skin has been acting out because of the mask and now I have a lot of PIH and closed comedones on my cheeks. I am in my twenties and try my best to take good care of my skin. Now onto the review.
Bright Like A Star Clarifying & Refreshing Glow Gel Cleanser
The Mimo By M Bright Like A Star gel cleanser thoroughly removes dirt and dead skin cells, making your skin feel fresh and clean. It is a gentle cleanser which effectively removes impurities, including makeup and sunblock, and can be used day and night
I have been using this cleanser three times a day and it is the best I have ever tried. It looks slightly peachy in the bottle but comes out clear gel. The scent is very mild and refreshing. It lather a little bit and washes off easily without any oily residue. This is really good at removing sebum, dust and light layer of makeup ( I couldn't get waterproof mascara off with this ). I personally prefer double cleanse method for removing makeup+ sunscreen but this one is pretty good and can emulsify your foundation, blush, lipstick easily. This is suitable for all skin types because it does not dry out skin. Really happy with this moisturizing cleanser
Bright Like A Star Clarifying & Soothing Comfort Toner (150 ml)
The Mimo By M Bright Like A Star toner has an intensive soothing and brightening formula that helps keep your skin smooth and clear. It helps fight redness and sensitivity, and helps you achieve a smoother skin texture and a more toned and brighter complexion.
The small plastic lid on the bottle to close the product after use is actually a very smart detail that brand added to the toner bottle. The texture is like water but it is hydrating and refreshing. I usually pat this onto the skin once. Some days I douse a cotton pad with this toner for extra boost of hydration. This contains witch hazel ( astringent ) and calming ingredients like calendula, centella asiatica . There is also arbutin for brightening.
Before you clutch your face in horror let me clarify you that Witch hazel is actually beneficial when diluted with other skincare ingredients. Dr Dray on YouTube tackles this topic in detail. Witch hazel is a really good astringent and also calms down redness. It drys out skin when used in higher concentration.
I really enjoyed the light weight texture. It absorbed easily without feeling heavy or sticky. Moreover it kept my skin happy and controlled sebum production. Would recommend this for Humid weather and all skin types
Bright Like A Star Complexion & Texture Enhancing Brightening Serum
The Mimo By M Bright Like A Star serum helps improve the overall quality of your skin, making it look smoother and brighter. Packed with abundant natural brightening, soothing and anti-aging ingredients, this serum will help fade out dark spots, even out skin tone and brighten your complexion
''The Star'' of the Bright Like A Star line. This is the catalyst which makes the magic happen . Loaded with arbutin this is what lightened my PIH ( post inflammatory hyper pigmentation aka the black pesky marks you get after acne ) . This has a very light texture and has hint of straw color tinge to it. It is not greasy or tacky, very easy to spread and absorbs completely within a few minutes. It wears well under sunscreen and foundation. I had some really bad PIH and discoloration near my mouth and nice. With consistent use this my skin tone even, lightened my acne scar and hydrated my skin . The results have pleased me immensely I will continue to use this. I recommend this to all skin types specially to thoese people who have uneven skin toner abd PIH
MIMO BY M Bright Like A Star Skin Refining & Regenerating Moisturizer
Bring out your inner star with our first ever moisturizer! The Mimo By M Bright Like A Star gel moisturizer will keep your skin hydrated and radiant. Formulated with natural brightening, anti-aging and skin enhancing ingredients, this moisturizer works to increase cell turnover for a brighter, smoother and clearer-looking skin.
Of there is one thing that I am very picky about it is face cream/mosturizer. I CANNOT STAND A HEAVY, GREASY THICK MOISTURIZER . My skin breaks out immediately moreover the blockheads multiple rapidly. But this cream just subsided all of my fears. It has a pale pink color and a really cool gel/emulsion like formul. Application feels like a dream. It absorbs instantly and does not leave any sticky residue. I mainly used this during nighttime as a last step because the weather is hot during the day . This contains interesting ingredients like licorice, cactus, arbutin and niacinamide. This one is for all of you who can't stand moisturizers. Please give this one chance I promise you won't be disappointed.
So this wraps up my very detailed, super long skincare review. I hope my review helps you with your purchase. You can purchase these at 20% off discounted price on MimobyM website
