Essence Nail color in Skyscrapper

Hi Beauties!

I showed you some Essence products in my previous haul posts. At first I only found Essence at Al Fatah Lahore but recently The Enem Store went through some major up gradation and renovations and they have brought in a lot of new stuff. This new stuff also includes the complete range of Essence. So I got myself a few Essence products (haul post is in the pipeline). Today I'll be sharing my nail color experience with you from their Urban Messages collection.

The Urban Messages collection by Essence has nail colors, lipstick in red and peachy orange, eye shadow chalks and a few other things. I got myself nail color in number 02, color, Skyscrapper.

Its a 10ml/0.33 fl.oz bottle with a medium sized applicator which gives a fine and smooth application over the nails. The applicator handle provides a good grip as it is perfectly sized. Skyscrapper is a lovely creamy grey mushroom shade with very fine glitter in blue. The glitter particles are really fine and small barely noticeable but provide a really good effect over the nails.

This is the effect I achieved after three coats. Personally I think the color should have built up and the nails should not have been visible after three applications but still you can see the nails. The formula for this nail color is a little sheer and will remain like this even after three coats.

The nail color has a thin formula and is a little runny so you need to be a little careful while applying, not to pick up a huge amount on the brush. Anyhow I really like the color. Its super great.

I got this nail color for Rs. 280. I plan on buying more Essence products and will soon be sharing them with you. I simply love Essence. I would recommend you to check out Enem, their new stock is really amazing. They have got Marks & Spencer winter clothes like sweaters, coats, mufflers, caps, gloves, lingerie, thermals and what not. Hope you liked my nail color. Do comment and let me know. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

In Hand care,

Nail Tip Cutter by M & S Nail Art

Hi Beauties!

Square nails have been in vogue for quite sometime now. Some naturally have a square shape and do not require much hard work to shape their nails. On the other hand there are people like me who have round shaped nails and no matter how hard they try they fail to achieve a perfect square look. I have tried million times before and always ended up ruining my nails till this miraculous product arrived.

Its a nail tip cutter which gives a square shape to the nails.

It looks just like pliers and works in the same way as well. It has a plastic body with a matte finish and is very smooth with good finishing. Its available in different colors like orange, pink, lilac, mustard and black. I liked the one in black. The head which does all the magic is in the picture below:

All you need to do is put your nail in the curvy hollow part right in the middle and squeeze the handles. Voila! there you have your perfect square shaped nail. Its so easy to use and is so convenient. I am so glad I made this purchase. The only thing which I observed one needs to be cautious about is the placement of the nail. It should not be right next to your skin, I am sure you do not intend to get a squared skin :p and secondly the nail should be placed in such a manner that its exactly in the middle of the curvy hollow so that you do not get a nail shape slanting more towards left or either right.

So above is the result I got in my first attempt. I know it isn't perfect but isn't bad either. With a little practice I'll be a pro in no time.

And here is the final look:

I am thoroughly satisfied with this product. It does the job and does what it claims. I ordered it online on M & S Nail Art's Facebook page. Here is the link to her page. Check out her page she has got fabulous stuff for nail art and a wide variety of nail accessories and that too at very reasonable and affordable prices. This nail tip cutter cost me Rs. 350. You can transfer the amount via a bank transfer or easy paisa. The day I made the transfer, it arrived the very next day within 24 hours. Currently there is a promotion going on her page, till New year there are no delivery charges. Avail this offer and enjoy your shopping with no extra delivery charges.

Hope you liked my review. Share in your views with me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

In Foot Care, Oriflame

Oriflame Feet up Soothing foot cream

Hi Beauties!

I am back with another review on Oriflame product that is their soothing foot cream. Just as its important to take care of our face, hands and body it is equally important to care for our feet too. Since feet are the ones which have maximum exposure to dust when we walk. There is dust on the ground, then bacteria and what not..... So foot care can not be ignored, but unfortunately I have observed that people often neglect their feet. Women would spend hours on their face trying to perfect it with make up and using creams and lotions worth thousands but when you look at their feet, they are dirty with cracked heels, un cut broken nails and chipped off nail polish.

So here is a quality product that you can use on daily basis and care for your feet without spending hours.

Oriflame claims that this product soothes and soften even the hardest working feet. Moisturising wheat germ oil and soothing orange blossom are combined in this rich, quickly absorbed cream. Use anytime for lasting hydration with a bright fragrance. "Happy feet from toes to heels"

Oriflame Feet up soothing foot cream comes in a plastic tube of 75 ml. Its a soft white colored tube with contents written on the back side. Remove the cap and it has a blue green colored mouth for the cream to come out.

The texture of the cream is smooth and white and consistency is normal, neither its real thick like a body butter and nor its runny. Its just like a normal cream should be. The picture below shows the amount of cream I use for my each foot. Since it absorbs quickly and I tend to have a very dry skin so I use it in a little more quantity but you may require less depending upon your skin type.

I have been using this cream for a while now and my experience of this cream is quite OK. The best part about this cream is it absorbs really fast in the skin which means feet don't feel greasy or oily. Its really important for a foot cream to be a quick absorbent, if not, dust and grime will stick to the feet more fast making feet look more dirt and grimy. Plus greasy feet may trouble in walking in open chappels as the feet may tend to slip. So this is a real plus for this cream. It really hydrates and nourishes the feet. My feet feel really soft and smooth after its application and it has a mild minty frnagrance like a pepper mint. So nice smelling feet is also a plus. I usually apply it in the morning before going to work but works best if applied at night.

You may not find this cream useful if you are looking for a healer for cracked heels or other foot problems. I got this cream from Oriflame office located in Main Boulevard Lahore for Rs. 279. Since its going to last for some time and does the job too so its reasonably priced but could have been priced a little less for a 75ml tube.

Overall my expereince of this cream has been fine and when it finishes I might buy it again if I do not find anything better than this. I totally recommend giving this cream a try. Hope you like my review. Let me know of your feedback. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!
