Its been quite long that I have not done any OMG or WTF posts. So here is one for you. In case you have forgotten what OMG posts are, let me remind you. OMG is the abbreviation for Oh My God! and these posts signify a product I am really fond of, so much that when I use it I have these awestruck expressions of OMG :o

I also mentioned this product in my July Favorites as this has been something I am repeatedly using these days. So lets get on with the review.

I am sure you must all be aware of Livon and Mrs. Marino shine and detangling serums. Garnier style glistening drops is the exact same product, only better, in my humble opinion. Garnier glistening drops like most of the Garnier products comes in green packaging. Its a light green colored transparent plastic bottle with a pump spray. Infact it is the bottle of the prodcut that actually attracted me to it.

I only use one spray of the pump for my hair and it serves the purpose. What I do is, I pump out a small quantity on my hand and rub my palms together so that it spreads all over my hands and brush my hands through damp hair especially the strands and the front. It smoothes out the hair, detangles then amd leaves a shine in the hair. Brushing/combing hair gets really easy and tangle free. When the hair dry out I can feel them to be real soft and smooth to touch, they actually feel like silk and the shine is amazing. This product also has a scent of cherries to it so your hair not only shine they smell nice too. Garnier Fructis style brilliantine glistening shine drops can be used on both damp and dry hair though I would recommend using it on damp hair after baths.

There are variants of this product available just like hair gels and sprays with light, medium, strong and extra strong holds. Mine one is strong. I can feel the effects of this serum till my next shower. Once you have used it on your wet hair you can feel its effects untill you wash your hair next time. So I would say it has long lasting effects.

What I would recommend here is to use one to two pump sprays only. Over doing it will make your hair look greasy and oily. Livon and Mrs. Marino both are excellent products and they do their job well. The reason I admire Garnier is because of the pump spray. It lets you have a control over the product. Unlike Livon once you pour out even a tiniest bit of more quantity it makes your hair go greasy. I find Livon a little thick in consistency and hence more greasy whereas Garnier is real light and less greasy. So if you are a regular Livon user I would recommend you giving Garnier a try once you finish up your Livon.

I am sure I need not rate this product since OMG says it all. This product cost me Rs. 450 and I purchased it from Roop Singhar Liberty Markert. It is available at all stores selling Garnier products. Hope you liked my review. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

This is my first monthly favorites post. Hope you would enjoy it. Here are the items that topped to my favorites list this month.

 

  

 

 

Fashion and cosmetic industry sure has revolutionized with the passage of time. They have evolved to bring comfort and practicality for people. Some products are just so practical and convenient to use that the moment you see them for the first time you know instantly that you ought to get them. Same happened to me when I saw and read reviews about Travalo atomizer all over the internet. All over the blogoshpere I have read excellent reviews about it. Luckily I also got the chance to try it out.

Travalo basically has three main products, one is the essential travalo, the othe is excel travalo and third is the roll on one. Mine you see above is the excel Travalo that has the ability of 65 sprays. The difference between essential and excel travalo is of the sprays, where essential travalo has the capibility for 50 sprays, excel goes upto 65 sprays.

My Travalo came in a neat bubble wrapped parcel. Even the product itself is sealed and has a floral design crystal case to avoid any dust and scratches over the Travalo. Travalo Excel atomizer comes in the range of 10 different colors. You can get yourself different colors for different perfumes according to your choice and preferrence. I got a bright blue one and I am loving it :)

This is how the Travalo itself looks like. It has a capped spray nozel so that the perfume does not leak or anything while carrying around. Travalo measures upto approximately 8 cm in length and weighs about 20 gms, lighter than most of the things in the handbag :) It even has a level indicator window to see how much of the perfume is left in the bottle so that you never run out of it on the go. ANother good thing is that the indicator window is shatter proof. So even you drop it or anything it won't break.

This is the rear view of the Travalo. Its made up of rubber and the small hole you see is the valve from where the prefume enters into the Travalo.

Now comes the critical part, that is filling up the Travalo. Its real easy peasy, no rocket sciene. All what is required is a little caution on your part. What you have to do is remove the nozel head of your perfume bottle, place the Travalo's bottom over the nozel of the bottle and repeatedly press up and down. The indicator window will show you the level of the perfume in the bottle. Just do not over fill it.

Recently the online shopping trend has boomed alot in Pakistan. We see online stores openeing up every other day now. Most of them are operating on Facebook. Girls and women are earning money at home which I would say is a very positive change. Women are contributing to earning household income and its a very very positive sign. Enough with the Economics talk I have built up the opening lines so lets get to the point now :p Recently I saw a post on Sara Hassan's blog where she did a review on a product from a new Facebook page that sells international branded items in Pakistan. I quickly went to that page and liked it and even ordered some available items.

My order arrived within a few days and I was so anxious to open it up that I took the picture of the box from my phone in the office and tore it apart. So greedy I am :(

My items were neatly bubble wrapped so they dont get damaged. I ordered Opia neon ring set and necklace.

Here is a new addition into the blog, OOTD posts. I have been getting requests for quite some time now to include OOTD posts in my blog and finally I have acted upon them. Read the post further and let me know of your feedback as to what improvements can be made in the OOTD posts.

Ramazan Mubarak to all my lovely ladies. This is my first post after the beginning of the holy month of Ramzan. I am finding it so hard to manage time for blogging between work and Ramzan. Got loads of work pressure at job too these days. However here I am, finally back on my blog (just can't stay away from you beauties). Few days back I reviewed Rimmel 1000 kisses long lasting lip tint and balm in stay very berry (read review here). Today I am reviewing the same product however, in a different shade.

I am so obsessed with lipsticks these days. Wherever I see a good lipstick I just grab it. My lipstick box is out of space and I now have to get a bigger box to store them :x Anyhow a new addition to my collection is my very first Palladio lipstick in Paris Pink. Read further to discover my new beauty product :)

For the first time I took time to take a look at Palladio lipsticks. They have quite a variety of colors but as always I went for a nude shade. I wonder how many nude lipsticks I have accumulated till now 0_o

 

The color I purchased is Paris pink. The sales rep for her convenience has simply numbered it 57 though I see quite a long number printed over the shade. These lipsticks come in a silvered color packing and are quite sturdy. The butt of the lipstick is shaded to represent the lipstick shade.

 

Paris pink is a nice nude pink shade that has a beige undertone. The outlook of the color is quite pink but it does give a hint of nude brown color in the undertones. I wonder why the lipstick looks so orangy brown in the picture though its not like that :o

 

We all know our very own brand has come up with yet another new product. Luscious sparkling face shimmer is the new launch which is all the rage these days in the Pakistani blogosphere and I must say the hype is well deserved. I, also after a long time have got my hands on another Luscious product because the packaging was just so cute and irrestible. See for yourself!

See what I mean? The packaging of sparkling face shimmers is cute and very elegant. Its so different from all other previous Luscious products that it just tempts you to try it out. I personally was intrigued after a long time for a Lucsious product. Before this, the twilight palette was the apple of my eyes and now this product has caught my attention.

Luscious sparkling face shimmer comes in a 12 gms transparent plastic jar with a silver lid and Luscious logo inscribed on the lid.

Inside the jar there is a plastic lid with holes on it. The purpose of these holes is to get a reasonable amount of powder on the powder brush without over dabbing the brush with excessive shimmer and becoming a glittered clown. So a very limited amount of powder comes on the surafce of the lid and one can dab the blush/podwer brush and brush it on the face.

My experience with this shimmer is great. This has recently become my everyday use product. Sometimes I apply it alone to get a nice glow on my face and sometimes I use it on the apple of my cheeks and blend it with a pink blush. Its a mutli purpose product. You can use it as a highlighter and also as a blush. The shimmer is blended to a fine perfection. Unlike some other brands that have these shimmers Luscious shimmer does not have a cakey appearance. The shimmer blends very well into the skin and does not settle into a blotch on one spot. A tip tp my readers: When applying the shimmer do not touch the brush on one place and start blending it. Lightly tap and drag the brush all over the are you want to cover then blend. When you tap it at one spot only and start to blend the area gets a blotch. That looks real ugly. Tap the brudh slowly across the area and then blend to get a smooth even finish.

For the packaging and quality I would rate this product 4.5/5 and would definitely recommend you all to try it. Other than Fairy Dust sparkling face shimmer is available in 4 other colors. Get yourself the one that suits you best. The sparkling face shimmer is priced at Rs. 595 and is available all across Pakistan in various departmental stores. You can also order online through their website by clicking here. Hope you liked my review. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care! 

Here is another post on lingerie. So far you girls have been really very supportive and encouraging by appreciating these posts. Thankyou so much. Recently when I went to Raja Sahib I casually went for a stroll in their lingerie section with the mind of not purchasing anything at all. A good thing about Raja Sahib's lingerie section is that its a separate room with female sales representatives. Though its a small area but one can conveniently buy lingerie and even try it out without men making funny faces and giving out weird vibes. So coming back to the point I was taking a look at their new stock and there was this lady buying a cute pink bra. I asked the sales rep to show me the bra just like the one held in that lady's hand. That was a Triumph bra and read further to find out my experience with it.

So Triumph bras come neatly packed in a cardboard box which has their label at one side and a model on the other. Inside the box the bra is nicely packed in a transparent plastic wrapper.

 

Its a very basic simple under wired bra with lace on just the upper corners and bow in the middle of the cups.

 

Here is the inner view of the bra. Here you can notice that its just an under wired bra and not a padded bra. Some people even the sales rep we have at the counters selling these bras name them as padded bras though it has no pads just an under wire. The bra is made of polyamide, polyester and elastene.  

 

Another best feature about this bra for me is thats its a thin strap bra. It has a single hook with tripple options of hooking. I personally do not prefer thick back straps so this is a huge plus for me.
