Haul post

salam

I have been a smart shopper lately so every time I go out I think twice when purchasing something. And I am happy to report that for the past couple of months I haven't bought any makeup/skincare item on a whim.

Since I am a contact lens user I switched from optiplus contact lens cleaner to Renu contact lens cleaning solution lets see how this works for both my eyes and contact lens
After trying out the bioderma sensibio h2o micellar water I have been quite curious about the performance of garnier micellar water so I bought a small bottle of it to test out. I will post a detailed review on it soon also I might do a comparison post on the two.
Moving on I bought another cleanser from the skin maskeurade exhibition. First impressions: This smells so good . I also got some samples so lets see if I like them or not

I also purchased Maybelline baby lips lip balm a staple for every purse. And since summer is here I picked out a fun green colored nail enamel . And a pen eyeliner. Some nail enamel removing pads and the color changing lip oil. Rhinestone Bobby pins and a garnier sample size face wash that I got with a purchase of a hair dye .
That's all guys. Are you a smart shopper or do you purchase things on a whim. Do let me know in comments section down below

Essence Dip Eyeliner

i dont wear eyeliner on day to day  basis i sometimes use a brown pencil to add dimension to my eyes but on special occasion i do like to wear a winged eyeliner.

essence makes some great eyeliners, this one is a new launch its called the dip eyeliner ,and it has felt tip for an applicator which is so much better than a brush in my opinion

Price : 390 Pkr

Quantity : 4ml

Packaging : 

small cute tube with a gray cap and a felt tip applicator which is non scratchy and easy to use.

About the product:

 its a quick drying liquid eyeliner  which drys to a some what matte finish , the felt tip is very gentle on the eyelids does not scratch or drag the eyelids , lts very pigmented and can also be applied over glitter or metallic eye shadow easily 

the bottle has a rubber stopper which prevents the  eyeliner from drying which a plus point because my mascara and eyeliner tend to dry way earlier than their expiry date

the only problem with this eyeliner is that its hard to dry a thin line with the felt tip.

this formula does not flakes off or smudges thought out the day and its  very easy to remove , just soap and water would do the job perfectly


overall i really like this formula and once i run out of this i am going to repurchase

Makeup pencils review by Sweet Touch, Manhattan , Christine

i had a lot of pencils in makeup stash that i felt were good enough to be reviewed  so here it is a picture heavy makeup pencils review

sorry for not wiping my pencils before taking pictures, but hey i was trying to add reality to the blog post. lets be honest , our makeup pencils do look like this after use? right ? yes ?no?

i have three lip/eyeliner pencils from Christine local brand one from Manhattan , one lipliner from sweet touch and black eyeliner also from Sweet touch

the first one is a pink liner by Sweet touch  its called mars i believe, the shade is a everyday pink color, very pigmented only negative point is that the pencil is a bit hard and sometimes drags on the lips, i apply it underneath my lipstick to make the lipstick last longer

the second pencil is by Manhattan cosmetics i use this to liner the lower rim of my eyes, it makes me look awake and gives a larger appearance to the eyes, the color of this eyeliner is a nude  gray, very pigmented and very soft , does not irritated the eyes at all , moreover it does not has any scent

the third pencil is an eyeliner by sweet touch, i really love this eyeliner, its very soft and gentle on the yes and very pigmented, i didnt tried it on my water line as i dont like to wear dark colors on my lower lash line
it is water proof so once its set , it does not smudge through out the day

these pencils are by christine, these are very soft and pigmented but they dont stay for  long on  water line or the lid, smudge easily and disappear after 2hrs, i like to use these a base underneath my eyeshadow

priced at about 20-60 pkr these are great for trying out various makeup looks 

SWATCHES 

Thats all

bye

Life Update post 04: makeup organization haul shopping …….

Hello.

I am so excited about the holy month of Ramadan, love all the parts of the holy month ranging from sehri to aftar and long taraweeh nights ,  and then finally shopping for Eid

I hauled a few items , tried out the timotei shampoo on a recommendation of a beauty blogger . I will admit it. This shampoo smells amazing and leaves my hair soft and shiny too

Nivea is a household name so I clearly don’t need to elaborate more about the cream except for the fact that I found a mini size jar and thought it would be very handy to throw it my college bag 

I also purchased another product from the brand oriflame and this time it’s a skin lotion I will be posting a review on this lotion soon 

Can’t get enough of Mua intense kisses lipgloss so just went ahead and ordered my third shade from the range this one is called kiss and makeup

I am running low on my current foundation so bought essence foundation in advance( review already lined up to be posted }. Purchased dip eyeliner on a whim because everyone was raving about it, so far so good

I went shopping with my friends a few days back and came across a lot of local brands who have wide range of makeup products in every color

Picked out some random nail colors

Purchased these Christine eyeliner/lipliners for RS 60 /- each , man they are so soft and pigmented

I don’t have much interest in cooking or baking but these kitchen related stuff looked so cute that I had to take a picture

That’s all for  today’s post

Makeup revolution water proof liquid eyeliner

There used to be a time when I used to love liquid eyeliners but then I developed infection on the lids due to sharing my makeup . note to self never share makeup products which have a creamy or liquid-y texture as it spreads infection, from that day on ward I have been using pencil eyeliners as it can be sharpened before every application reducing changes of getting an infection but recently I have been yearning to try the winged eyeliner trend blame taylor swift here . so I purchased a liquid eyeliner

Quantity: 3ml

Price: 300 pkr

Packaging

  I was very disappointing by the small size of the tube    ( I am used to holding long thick eyeliner tubes by essence) but comforted myself by the fact it will be quite handy to carry in a clutch . black plastic somewhat conical shape

My thoughts:

This is the most disappointing product I have used by makeup revolution so far. A liquid Eyeliner must have two things 

1.    A good workable formula

2.    A good firm applicator

This eyeliner lacks both of the properties it is by no mean waterproof the formula does not dries fast and the applicator is a transition between a brush and felt tip. its terrible, hard and scratchy. I had to use an angled brush to apply it on my eyes

You might like it:

If you don’t have any other choice

You might not like it:

It hurts the eye

The applicator is hard

The formula is not waterproof

         Will I repurchase it ??

Never there are better  liquid eyeliners in the  market

 My rating :

I rate this 1 out of 5

Essence kajal pencil in Teddy 08 and lipliner In the nude 11

When going for a natural makeup look black eyeliner can look harsh sometimes so using brown eyeliner is a good option. I have very sensitive eyes and eyelids as Essence manufactures dermatological tested makeup so for me this brand is best

I like my lip liner to be soft and creamy so when I saw this gorgeous nude lip liner by essence I decided to try it

Quantity: 1 g

Price 195 pkr each

Packaging: both pencils are just like a regular pencil and have a silver plastic cap on it. 

About the kajal pencil in teddy 08

the shade i chose is teddy (08) I expected it to be a matte brown color but imagine my surprise when I swatched it on my hand it was metallic copper-brown shade

This pencil is neither water proof nor smudge proof but it does not stings the eyes when applied on the waterline. It does not transfer on the upper part of my eyelids when I open my eyes so that’s a positive point

This pencil I feel can be used as an eye shadow (in the crease)

 

L-R essnece lipliner In the nude 11 and essnece kajal pencil in teddy 08
