| June 2023 Empties |
Hey there, lovely readers! It's that time of the month again when I've used up some fantastic beauty products. From haircare heroes to skincare essentials, let's dive into my monthly empties and see what worked wonders for me.
I started this in November, posting about my empties each month to get a sense of achievement and also to monitor my product usage and practice impulsive shopping control. My aim is to clear my previous stash before opting to buy new products and hoarding stuff. I feel so far my progress has been slow given my laziness. However the deadline to post something every month provides me the required motivation to actually use stuff, rather than letting it sit and rot.
Here are a few products I finished in December.

| Empties for December 2020 |
I have been meaning to do this for a while now, wanting to post my empties every month. Last month I realized that I need to utilize products from my existing stash before cluttering further as I have run out of space. So here are a few products which I finished in the month of November 2020.
1. Khaadi pure intentions purifying coffee souffle scrub
I have already reviewed this product here. I really liked this scrub in terms or performance and quality.
2. Mana Beauty Clarity Cream
I have been using this cream as body cream and loved its fragrance. It smells strongly of rose extracts and if you are allergic to fragrant products or prefer odorless products then I suggest you skip buying it. Otherwise, its a really good body cream for moderate weather providing necessary hydration.
3. Essence honey care hand cream
Hand creams are a must have product in my beauty regimen. I use them a lot on daily basis. Thanks to COVID and excessive use of hand sanitizers, resulting in super dry hands. The Winters haven't also been any easy right from the start. This hand cream by essence turned out to be a gem. Bought on a whim from just4girls.pk and turned out to be s great choice.
4. Soap and Glory hand cream
I have had hard luck with this particular product by Soap and Glory. I have tried three of these hand creams and all turned out to be foul smelling, cream and water separated like a foul curd. I forcefully used this one assuming that probably this is how this product is. Every time before usage, I used to shake the tube well to combine the separated water and cream mixture and then apply on my hands. No doubt it was a great hand cream minus the foul smell and a dud formula.
5. Gillette satin care sensitive skin shave gel
I have been having a hard time shaving my body lately as I have totally given up on waxing for 3 years now. Thanks to my laser technician who suggested using shaving gels for smooth shaving. Since then Gillette shaving gel has become a life saver. Its an affordable product ranging around Rs. 650 that's lasted me around 5 to 6 full body shaves.
6. Vintage cosmetics Smokey eye pencil
I received this pencil in my Boxycharm subscription box and it instantly became my favorite. It has minimum fall out and is super pigmented. I believe its by an indie makeup brand and not a main stream one but performance wise it is above many commercial brands.
I hope you liked my post. I have decided to do my empties post on a monthly basis to keep track of products that I have to use and dispose off before they go bad or expire. Its also one of my ways to control excessive, unnecessary purchasing. Lets see how much progress I make with this new project. Stay healthy and beautiful. xoxo!!!
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:

Hi Love!
This new trend of holding makeup exhibitions is becoming quite popular day by day and more and more online stores are engaging into this practice. It has to be popular because of the fact that most of the international brands are not available in Pakistan and these exhibitions allow us a real time experience of getting to touch and pick and choose the items of our liking. Makeup for you, right after 3 months of holding their first exhibition held another one on March 26, 2016 and showcased some of the best and most sought after items. It also happens to be the first store to conduct back to back exhibitions in such short span of time. In case you missed out on their first exhibition, no worries, you can read all about it in my post by clicking on this link.
Makeup 4 U created great hype for this event and really pumped up the exceptions of their customers by posting teasers of products tempting us not to miss this event. Were they able to meet these expectations and live up to the hype they had created? Read my post further to know more about the event.
Hi Beauties!
Remember the frenzy when Soap & Glory had sale on their products some time back? Facebook was bombarded with pictures of Soap & Glory items and online stores were offering very competitive prices. Much of the hustle bustle was about the Next big thing set which had loads of full size items. I also fell victim to all the craze around the big sale and bought something, its tiny though compared to the next big thing but nonetheless I love it. I have always been in love with Soap and glory products. Hence to satisfy my yen, I ordered the Think Pamper set. Read further to see what items the set contains.

Hi Beauties!
The toughest post I find to blog about is writing about a perfume or some mist. Its because we all have different preferences when it comes to fragrances and to explain a smell in words is injustice to it. Plus its really hard to grab on to a concept of smell unless one has actually inhaled that smell. Liking and disliking is another matter entirely. I personally love Soap & Glory brand. Sometimes, I find it even better than The Body Shop. But then again thats my own liking. Today I am reviewing Soap & Glory's scent-sationalism set. Read further to find out more about this set.

Hi Beauties!
I see every other blogger posting their monthly favorites regularly every month. Am I the only one with a lazy bum? I guess so. Well I am making an attempt today to share my monthly favorites for the month of July. Half of August has already passed, hope its not too late. Better late than never. So here is what I have been using in the month of July over and over.

Hi Beauties!
Few days back I stumbled upon a Facebook page by the name of Beauty Box. I really liked the products this page is offering and the prices were so economical, less than any other page I have witnessed. Browsing through the albums I wanted to buy so many things but settled upon a few only. Here is what I purchased.
