Hello Beautiful!
Summers are unthinkable without a quality face cleanser. We all know how harsh and cruel our Summers are. On top of that we now get 2 full months of humid weather. I prefer to keep good 2 to 3 face cleansers at my disposal depending upon the condition of my skin which has a mood of its own as I have a combination skin type. My today's review is on Formula 10.0.6 Best Face Forward Daily foaming cleanser. Lets read further to find out how it fared.

Hello Beautiful!
One of the dilemmas of digitization is, some products get way too much hype and some just really don't. The sad part is, sometimes, well deserving products get left out and the most hyped products turn out to be crap. My today's review focuses on a product which is not very famous but I have come to like it a lot. Soap & Glory's daily youth face wash is something I have been using in Winters and Summers and I have found it to be an all seasons product. Read my detailed review to discover more about it:

Hello Beautiful!
Continuing my love for the subscription services, I came across February's Ipsy Glam Bag being sold at a Facebook store. I am not a die hard fan of Ipsy but I do believe that it provides access to brands which are not very known in Pakistan. The reason I opted for this month's Ipsy was solely the pouch. I love anything that is denim and this pouch being denim was something I wanted to get. Hence I ordered it and to know what came inside this bag, read my post further.

Hello Lovelies!
I am back with another Glowybox post. It happens to be my favorite sub services these days. As mentioned in my previous post, this is one service which matches and can compete at an international level. This time around, Glowybox followed the Valentine's day theme and did things a little different. Read my post to find out.

Hi all!
Today another subscription service is under review for which I recently opted. This happens to be my first experience with this online store that too off Instagram. Without further ado lets see how this subscription service fares in comparison to others locally available. Is it really worth your money?

| Boxy Glam Bag by Brand Empires for September |
I paid up for this service in September and I received the items in October. As such its September Boxy Glam which I received in October as the shipment came in this month.
The items came in a black zipper bag. The bag is by Makeup Gallery and is made of smooth silk polyester fabric with the tag intact. I am considering the makeup bag as an additional items since most local services do not provide sturdy pouches. Inside the bag there was full sized Batiste dry shampoo in cherry, Tea tree cleanser and toner, Simple cleansing wipes, Primark lipstick in coral, Aromatherapy shower cap, Makeup revolution blush in old packaging and Super drug's fruit sorbet antioxidant peel off mask.
Hi Beauties!
With each passing day, as I am getting older, I believe I am also getting wiser. Beauty blogging has matured me in many ways when it comes to taking care of my skin. Nonetheless, I am a human and also a very lazy one. So there are days when I skip my beauty regimen for days, sometimes even weeks due to busy routine. Here is where Bioderma steps in. In today's post I shall only be introducing the brand and my purchases from the brand. Detailed reviews will follow soon.

Hi Beauties!
Last month I got the opportunity to be part of a blogger's meet up for the launch of a new skin care brand by the name of Well-beeing. Lucky for us bloggers, at the end of the event, we were given out a few products to try and give our reviews. So, after careful testing for like over a month now, I am reviewing Well-beeing's Bee-awake facial cleanser. Read further to know my take on this product.

Hi Beauties!
This post was long due and its about time that it must be shared. Recently I got myself a new makeup remover on experimental basis as the bottle caught my eye and I found it to be sleek and stylish. Since I never step out without an eye liner and kohl on my eyes, an eye makeup remover or simply a makeup remover is a must have for me. Washing face directly causes the eye liner to spread all over the face and also it gets into the eyes, so not good for the eyes!
Hi Beauties!
Here is another skin care review. Another one of my favorite product. I featured this on my July Favorites products post as well. Finally I am reviewing it today. Although I do not have a blackhead problem on my skin but I do have some on my nose. They are not huge or stubby but still I find it appropriate to get rid of them. I have been using the nose pore strips and found them effective enough to get rid of these blackheads but when I saw clearasil blackhead removing scrub I wanted to see if something other then nose strips worked for me or not. Read my review further to find out if this product worked for me or not.
Coming to the outlook of the product Clearasil blackhead removing scrub comes in a 150 ml plastic tube with a pop pen lid. Since its a 150 ml tube its quite big and broad and is not travel friendly. However a packing in 50 ml would serve the purpose. I do not know if it comes in a smaller packing or not.
The back of the product has every possible detail they could stuff into the available space starting from the directions and benefits to ingredients and contact details.
The scrub has a creamy texture and has a thick consistency like a cream and isn't runny at all. Its light blue in color while the scrub granules are a darker shade of blue. Although it claims to have micro beads but I disagree. The beads are a bit big and not quite micro in size. The granules are strong and harsh for sensitive or acne prone skin. I have two pimples on my lower cheek these days and it hurts to use this scrub over them. So please do not try this if you have a sensitive skin or acne problems.
Here is what Clearasil says about this product:
Its a gentle exfoliating scrub with natural sea salt, deep cleanses the skin to help clear and prevent blackheads. The exfoliating micro crystal formula deep cleanses the skin to remove blackhead and breakout causing dirt, oil, bacteria and dead skin cells.
Directions:
- Use everyday in the morning and evening
- Wet face and gently massage scrub onto the skin
- Rinse off thoroughly with warm water
My Experience:
Coming to my experience of this product I'll say its a good product in general. Its a thorough cleanser, it surely deep cleans and leaves the sking smooth, fresh and clean. Its a cleanser in my opinion but not a blackhead remover. It surely reduces the visibility of blackheads on my nose but that is it, it does not eliminate them altogether. So someone who has a blackhead problem would not get much benefit out of this product. However if you want to deep clean your face then this surely is the right product. The micro beads are big and strong hence may feel a little harsh on the skin so not the right product for sensitive skins. I wet my face and massage the cleanser onto my face thoroughly and rinse it off with water. Since its a creamy cleanser it might take some time and extra effort to take it off the face. When I am massaging it onto my face I can feel the roughness of the micro beads exfoliating my face and removing the dead skin and dirt and grime on my face. It does not dry out my skin since I have a dry skin, it moisturizes my face and leaves it clean, fresh and glowy. It has a very light scent to it like most clean and clear products and I like fragrant products so I like the smell of it.
Overall I would rate it a 4.5/5 and recommend buying this product if you want a deep cleansing scrub. Its priced at Rs. 365 and available at Enem and Pot Pourri in Lahore and any other stores that stock Clearasil products. Hope you liked my review. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!
Hi Beauties!
Oriflame pure nature Acai and pomegranate antioxidant face wash is something that has been reviewed alot in the blogosphere. I read quite alot good reviews on it. But that is not the reason I purchased this product. Being the shopaholic I am, I just need to see a good bargain in order to grab it even if I use a product or it just keeps on lying in my collection. Did I use this product? What has been my experience of this product? Read further to find out!
What differentiates this face wash from others is that it is an antioxidant face fash. But the question is, what are antioxidants? Antioxidands are comprised of various vitamins, minerals and enzymes that help protect from free radicals what occur in the body as a result of metabolic processes. Antioxidants enhance the body's ability to neutralize free radicals which are the possible cause of ageing. They also reduce inflammation and maintain the flexibility of arteries. Moreover they can help fight the harmful effects of sun on the skin and reduce skin damage and early ageing process. Antioxidants include Vitamin A, C, E, Beta cerotene and lycopene.
Foods that are rich in antioxidants are:
Berries, Grapes, Pomegranates, Oranges. Pineapples, Dates, Apricots, Peanuts, Walnuts and Green Tea.
Acai and pomegranate antioxidant face wash comes in a sturdy palstic bottle of 150 ml with a white cap. The bottle is long and sleek but is travel friendly. The face wash itself is light pink purplish in color and smells great.
Coming to my experience of this product I would say I simply love it. This is an excellent product for people having dry skin. Oriflame claims it to be an antioxidant refreshing face wash that gently removes makeup and impurities from the skin. Although I do not agree with the makeup removing part because I use it daily day and night but it does not wipe off my eye makeup. I have to romove the eye pencil and wash my face again. However I find it an excellent cleanser. After washing my face with it I can actually feel my skin to be light and free of all impurities. It refreshes the skin without drying it. Skin feels fresh, vibrant and glowy. First thing you notice about this product is the strong burst of smell. I love products that have a lovely scent to them, this product is one of them. The instant you pour it on your hand there is a strong aroma of fruity fragrance which is without doubt of pomegranates. No wonder I felt like gulping all of it! Very little quantity is required over the face as it lathers really well which is another plus point as it would last long. I think it would suit oily skins as well since its a real gentle face wash. I definitely recommend this product to all my readers. If you have not tried it yet, go ahead and give it a try!
I would rate this product a 4.7/5 as its not a thorough make up remover. Other than that I did not find any cons in this product. Acai and pomegranate face wash is regularly priced at Rs. 590 but when I purchased it there was a promotion going on this product and I got it for Rs. 343. Amazing price isn't it! You can buy Oriflame products from their consultants having various Facebook pages or visit Oriflame office in Lahore and Karachi to get their products. Hope you liked my review. Drop in your comments and let me know. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!
