Club Clio Global Haul

 I made my first purchase at the Club Clio website a few weeks back and the experience was actually pretty good

They have a lot of products on discounted price and you can get tons of free samples with your purchase. I paid around 50$ ( that includes shipping ). You can get free shipping if your order exceed the 60$ value but them you can't use any discount code with it 

All the items of my order were securely wrapped in bubble wrap packaging. Even though a few of my items were in liquid form . 

I will start off with the most expensive item of my haul. Since my acne is all over the place I decided to buy a BB cream specifically for acne prone skin. The Dermatory Pro Trouble Acne BB cream has a really travel friendly packaging. I haven't opened it yet but I will be sharing my thoughts once I do . The ingredients list contains Salicylic acid and Centella Asiatica 

Next off we have the PeriPera Double cover cushion. You know I enjoyed the previous ( bright pink Peripera Cushion a lot so I have high hopes for this one as well ) overall the packaging is thin and sleek

I also bought the Peripera Oil Capture Cover Powder. It is often out of stock on the Club Clio website so figured that it must be a best seller at the website . The hexagonal puff is actually pretty cute 

Ssin voted the Peripera Longwear Cover Concealer as best of 2020 . So I was pretty curious about the performance of this one. In the packaging this looks very pigmented lets see how this works for my flaky skin type

I added the Peripera Lip and Eye remover because it was just 3$ on the website. It is a biphasic makeup remover. Hopefully it will be non irritating for my sensitive eyes 

I am not a big fan of peachy/orangy blushes . I picked this peripera pure blushed sunshine cheek one for my sister the color is actually more of a muted dried rose shade. Can't really figure out why it came out so Orangy in pictures 

I am running low on makeup setting spray. So I added this Ink Setting All Day makeup fixer by Peripera to my cart. The spray nozzle is pretty good and distributes the product evenly on the face

The final product from Peripera that I bought is the Milk Blur Rosy Toneup Cream. You all might know that by now that I am a big fan of tone up creams this one has more of a skin tint. I hope this works with my skin color . 

I bought a cute tiny Quad from Twinkle Pop Pearl Flex Glitter Eye Palette is a sister brand of peripera. The glitter in this palette are pretty sparkly. I plan to share a very detailed review of this next on my blog so keep your eyes peeled for that 

And lastly we have this cute travel size handcream set from Healing Bird. I have a self diagnosed OCD or maybe it is the virus which has turned me into this hand washing maniac. But this trio have some really lovely scents so I added it to the cart without any second thought. 

This wraps up my haul. Club Clio gave me samples too with the order but I gave them away to my brother . Out of all these products which interests you the most ?

One Brand Makeup Look: Holika Holika

My Entry For Holika Holika Fanstasy Makeup Contest. This look is created using all the products from the brand Holika Holika.

I plan to post detailed reviews of all the products in the future so if you are interested about any product in general . Please let me know in the comment section below.

For Face Makeup.

Since my skin was in a really bad state at that time. I needed a lot of coverage and this 

HOLIKA HOLIKA - Hard Cover Complete Conceal Palette  was very handy for that. I got to color correct and also cover the zits. 

I primed my face really well with a balm moisturizer but because of tretinoin my face was still dry . ( hence the flaky /patchy skin near my nose and mouth )

I also used HOLIKA HOLIKA - Hard Cover Glow Stick Foundation along with the HOLIKA HOLIKA - Hard Cover Glow Cushion Peko Edition and it was really easy to blend. 

For Eye Makeup I was really spoilt for choice. There were too many color options. I really think that Holika Holika point makeup deserves a lot more love because it is pigmented and stays put for long too

I was totally blown away by the intense foil effect of these pot eyeshadows. 

HOLIKA HOLIKA Piece Matching Shadow  (FOIL) 02 Champagne Flesh and HOLIKA HOLIKA - Foil Shock Shadow #Burnt Cherry   Even though these are glittery . The product didn't get all over the place

I am still holding on to Aeyegosal trend and I don't plan to let go of it anytime soon .. this HOLIKA HOLIKA Jewel Light Under Eye Maker made the whole process thousand time easier and fun with its dual tip to add sparkle and shadow

For that special kpop bling effect I added HOLIKA HOLIKA - Eye Spanglitter Mirror Ball parts to my lower lid. 

I used HOLIKA HOLIKA - Jellime Highlighter on my cheeks. The jelly texture was a bit tricky to use but looked really beautiful

I used this HOLIKA HOLIKA - Wonder Lasting Survive Cream Shadow 03 #Bubble Gun as primer on my eyelid. This drys down semi matte and looks so pretty on its own 

This is one of the best selling eyeshadow palette of 2020. And I don't disagree. All the colors in the HOLIKA HOLIKA - Terrazzo Shadow Palette 02 #Dusty are arranged in manner that it can be used for both day and night ocaasion

For brows I used HOLIKA HOLIKA Wonder Drawing Skinny Eyebrow which was a bit hard but after a few swipes it worked well for my brows. I also liked the creamy HOLIKA HOLIKA Wonder Drawing Skinny Eyeliner. It was very pigmented and drew a really thin line 

I usually avoid korean mascara because thet are so hard to remove but this HOLIKA HOLIKA - Lash Correcting Mascara Special Set 01 #Hyper Curling came with a eye makeup remover so I took the risk. I liked the curl effect this gave to my lashes

The Star products of the look are these two Lip products

HOLIKA HOLIKA  HeartCrush Glow Tint Air Bae and Hush. As you can see the packaging is really cute moreover the finish leans toward the glossy/ moisturizing lip tint side so it makes the lips plump and juicy.

My makeup look was inspired from Pony Makeup. I used Nail decoration to add the bling effect and used dark maroon shadow from the tezarro palette as blush

[REVIEW] Peripera Airy Ink Velvet in Heart Grapefruit

Peri pera is one brand that is known in the asian beauty community for its  popular ink lip tints . These ink lip tints come in 3 kind of different finishes ( velvet, airy ink velevet and cloudy )

 I am reviewing the Airy Ink Velvet one today
The packaging is in line with the name it literally looks like an ink bottle ( so cute ) the bottle is frosted but you can still easily see the color of the tint
The wands on these are small for a regular liptint ( its a little uneasy to hold the top cap sometimes) and have a  doe foot applicator.

To the best of my knowledge there are 5 shades in the airy ink velvet line I chose this particular shade because I dont a own a shade like this in my collection
Compared to the korean liptints I have tried out in the past this is strongly  pigmented, feels lightweight and has a silky smooth finish ( it sometimes feel powder like ). Moreover it applies evenly without accentuating dry patches on the lips. I have detected a bit of a paint like scent to it

My favourite way of applying this liptint is placing a little dot of tint in the centre of my lips then dabbling the color with my finger to get that water color effect. Unlike the Etude House Dear Darling Tint I didnt felt the need to apply a lipbalm prior to application as its very moisturizing on its own.

To me the shade Heart Grapefruit looks a like an orange based red color.
In terms of longevity this lasts for 8hrs and more. This leaves a stain on the lips
The price of the tint can vary ( ranging from 6$- 11$) depends which store you are purchasing from
I really liked this lip tint and would definitely purchase more shades from the Peri Pera  Ink line in future

Chateau Labiotte wine lip tint mini RD01 SHIRAZ RED

The lip product I am going to review today on the blog is no stranger in beauty world. This cute wine bottle shaped lip tint totally took the beauty world by storm last year. everyone was talking about it. It was featured in a lot of Korean dramas, online magazines, vlogs and blogs so naturally this caught my attention too. This Lip tint comes in both full size and deluxe size packaging. The reason i chose deluxe size was that i currently own over 30+ lip products ( may not seem a lot to you but for me that's way too many lip products) sitting inn my makeup stash waiting to be used up. So I decided to buy something I will easily finish off before it goes bad. Enough with my rant lets get onto the review

Packaging:
Even though its a deluxe product I have to laud the brand for placing it into a small cardboard box ( makes it look specially ). The liptint as you can see has a wine bottle packaging its so cute and tiny. the lid does not pop off like a champagne cork but us like any lip tint with a doe foot applicator 😊
Each liptint has a different color lid. The lid kind of represents the color of the tint inside
I love how this tiny tube holds 3ml of product and is tiny enough to be carried even in a coin 👝.

There are lot of shades in the range(pink, orange, burgundy, red, peach etc)
About the product
This contains alcohol/wine by products so once you apply it onto the lips it gives a cooling feel ( alcohol evaporation =cooling)
The color is a beautiful neutral red. Unlike the dear darling tint i tried by etude house this has a very opaque coverage so this tint works more like a lipstick. The lasting power is great it lasts pretty well onto my lips. The application is not patchy at all. What I love about this tint is that it  applies evenly and wears off evenly too. But one thing bad about this is that it can be drying on the lips. I fix this problem by fist applying a layer of Lip. Balm n my lips amd then following a layer of lip tint of top that way i get sheer to medium coverage of the tint on my lips ( it looks pretty wearable during the day) and my lips font get cracked or look like dried up prunes by the end of the day. Since the tint sets up/ dries up pretty fast I suggest you to be extra careful when applying this liptint.

Overall I love this tint would definitely purchase more shades from the range
This mini/deluxe tint is priced at 3-4$ while a full size of this lip tint coats around 9-12$ depends on the store
Have you guys checked out my Instagram Feed I post reviews and updates on last skincare and makeup products there 😊

[Review] Elizavecca Milky piggy BB cream

Today I am reviewing this BB cream by Elizavecca. The packaging is really cute and vibrant. This contains 50ml of product and the tube is slightly bigger than an average bb cream.

Its comes in an identical cardboard box which has this original seal for quality and authenticity assurance

Whats best about this Bb cream is that it contains SPF 50+ PA+++ so this not only covers blemishes and evens out skin but also provides protection from the sun
This Bb cream comes in only one shade so those who have warmer skin tone this might not be for you.

This has a thick texture and its coverage is pretty good ( medium-full). But don't worry this can be sheered out if you want. ( used a damp beauty blender to apply this for sheer coverage)
Even though its thick this has a satin - moist finish so for those of you who have acne and dry skin this is the best  formula. Gals with oily skin can just dust a bit of loose powder for that matte finish

On first application this might look a bit chalky ( the bb cream has a bit of grey undertone) but after few minutes the shade kinds of adjusts so it looks natural. I also detected some kind of scent but I can figure out what it smells like exactly
All in one this bb cream is great because it brightens complexion, provides hydration, hides blemishes, evens out skin tone, gives
glow to the skin and protects from sun
This retails for dollars and can be purchase at yesstyle for 9-12 $

[Review] Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

Ever since I have started following Korean makeup trends. My craze off having super matte skin has finally died down. Now I look for formulas which can help me achieve that subtle glow.

still that does not means that I don't use powder makeup products

I purchases this cult favorite loose powder by Innisfree called the No Sebum powder X Emoji edition ( its a limited edition)

ABOUT THE PACKAGING

As you can already see the packaging is super adorable. There are a lot of options I choose the blushing emoji. The container is sturdy and is small m it contains about 5gm of powder which initially looks quite less but trust me I have been using this for months and its still looks barely used at all. There is a cute yellow puff included with it m inside the is a plastic guard with small square holes punched to allow small amount of powder to come through

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

I love how finely milled this powder is. It has a faint very refreshing mint scent which lingers for few minutes. This product does not leave a white cast what so ever on the face but be warned that it flashes back on flash photography

I like to dust this all over my fave during summer time because that's when my T-zone produces the oil most and thanks to super humid and hot summers that we get in Pakistan I set my makeup with this to prevent it from melting and smudging.

in winters I like to dust this only on my nose and forehead for that soft matte look.

I can clearly see why this powder is popular all over Asian beauty community. This powder is affordable and easily available at many reputable online stores.

there are a lot of fake look alike copies of this powder circulating on internet and stores so be careful before making a purchase

I purchase mine from the skin maskeurade

PURITO Snail Clearing BB Cream SPF38/PA++ 30ml

When it comes to asian bb cushion and bb creams I have heard many people often complain that the shade of the base makeup was too light/grey/ashy for their skin color or that Asian bb creams don't have much variety in shade range ( specifically those of you who have lovely dusky skin or their skin color ranges from NC/NW 20-40 ) I am reviewing an Asian bb cream which comes in shades #21 #23 and #27 so those who love Asian cosmetics but cant find  a good match for your skin color this one is for you.

This BB cream has a standard squeeze tube packaging which I find very convenient and hygienic. It contains 30 ml of product. It has a  screw top which is quite secure and keeps the bb cream fresh.
This bb cream contains snail mucin filtrate and 10 free formulation meaning its free from paraben, ethanol, benzophenol, animal fat, BHT,paraffin talc, phthalate, formaldehyde, bemzophenone and triethanolamine which is super cool considering the fact that snail mucin has great skin rejuvenating and healing properties. Also the 10 ingredients mentioned above are one of the major culprits of causing acne, clogged pores and irritation so this is perfect if you have problematic acne prone skin.

The texture of this bb cream is very easy to spread and blend-able +layerable moreover its light weight. This gives a semi glowy finish. The coverage is medium which can be either sheered out or build to full coverage (depends on your preference) I like how this does not feel heavily or greasy on my skin.
This blemish balms targets three skin problems  at a time
1. It gives sun protection SPF 38 PA++
2. It acts a natural looking base for your skin so hides imperfections
3. Anti wrinkle

I used this in flash photography and was so happy that I didn't get a flash back even though it contains spf 38. So this is great for taking photos 🙆
My bb cream is in shade 27 which is quite dark for me ( I have fair skin) but I am happy that I discovered a great product even though the shade didn't match me.

5/5 ❤❤❤❤❤

[REVIEW] Leejeeham life sun cushion spf 50 pa++++

Sunscreen are a crucial when it come to protecting your skin from premature aging and wrinkles. I seriously regret all those times when I never wore sunscreen and thought my skin was better-off without.  I could have saved my skin from so much damage and hyper pigmentation. Sigh!! So girls don't make the same skincare mistake I did.
This might shock some of you but according to some dermatologists (source: Google) you are suppose to re-apply sunscreen every 2 hrs as sun screen wears off with time.Now I don't know if its a marketing hoax (to make more sales) or a legit fact but for those of you who do re apply sunscreen after every few hours here is product to make things easier without ruining your makeup

I have been a huge fan of cushion foundations/ bb creams ever since they have been launched. the concept of them is so travel friendly and vintage. Do you know it was once considered every fashionable to apply powder or lipstick in public 😄
But I was so surprised and intrigued when i found out that now you can even have your sunscreen in a cushion compact packaging. Who would have though of such a cool idea?
 Leejeeham life sun cushion spf 50 pa++++ is a cushion sunscreen which delivers a beautiful semi matte glow to the face and gives it maximum sun protection from both UVA & UVB radiations.

It has avery chic looking white compact which a matte plastic casing. Inside these is a beautiful pink air cell puff and a mirror

Like all cushion compacts this is sealed to maintain the freshness and prevent the product from drying out. Once I peeled off the plastic cover I was greeted with a pleasant scent. It mild and doesn't lingers for long onto the skin

The sunscreen looks pink in the cushion compact but once applied onto the face this light weight sunscreen turns close to translucent so a slight pink hue/white cast. The air cell puff makes it handy it to apply the sunscreen over makeup. You can wear this under makeup too. It gives a lit from within glow.
Though I am guilty of not reapplying my sunscreen through out the day I definitely find it very handy to use early in the morning some days especially Sundays when I feel too lazy to pit on makeup I usually apply this over my face and go out to pick groceries with my mother at the bazaar. This just keeps my face safe from sun damage and makes my skin look toned up so I look put together with minimal effort 😊
 This cushion sunscreen is admittedly on the pricier side but the convenient chic white packaging, flash back free formula and minimum white cast, SPF 50 with PA++++ makes this a winner.The cushion can be popped out and replaced with a refill so this also environmental friendly and it comes with a mirror too 4/5 💎💎💎💎💎
☀ In my opinion Asian sunscreens are definitely worth splurging, as the formulation is suitable for sensitive,oily and acne prone skin
