120 Eye Shadow Palette by rosewholesale : Review & Swatches

Hey girls,

If you are following me on Facebook you must already know that last month I won a giveaway contest sponsored by Rosewholesale at fellow blogger Rabias Beauty Diary and got 20$ to spend on their site. I selected following items,

 

. My package arrived within two weeks. Loved everything as it was exactly the same as shown on their website. In case you missed it out , read my review on concealor palette HERE. 

Packaging:
120 eye shadow palette comes in a black cardboard package and then sealed with this thin plastic wraps to avoid any mess. Few eyeshades were broken during shipment but it prevents them to create a mess and locks everything inside.

These are divided into two palettes which are stacks on each other in a matte black case which is sturdy and looks good.  The red ribbon is there to easily pull out palettes. There is no applicator brush or mirror is present. The palette is travel friendly.

My Thoughts:

The palette consists of a variety of matte , shimmer , frosty and satin finishes. The colors varies from neutrals to darks, to earthy tones to vibrant blues, greens, gold, reds and yellows. Every possible color is present in this palette. The eyeshades are vibrant and easy to blend. But I noticed that the some of the eyeshades falls out badly. Majority of eyeshades are very pigmented and others lacks them. I think the shimmer ones are the most vibrant, stay puts for longer and blends easily while the matte ones need a good primer underneath to achieve the desire vibrancy and longevity.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector For Normal Skin vs Oily Skin : Comparison & Swatches

When I mentioned Garnier BB cream for oily skin in my summer essentials post last month, few of my readers asked me on facebook how different it is from the original Garnier BB cream. So I thought it would be beneficial for all my readers if I compare it on my blog.

Garnier BB cream miracle skin perfector : original vs oil free

Packaging:
Both versions comes in squeeze tubes. The difference is in their appearance. The oil free one is slimmer and taller than the original one. Also I noticed that original have 50 ml of product in it, and oil free has 40 ml product. The original comes with a flip open cap where oil free has a twist open cap which creates more mess as the product inside is runny and sometimes it just pour out of it on its own.

Formula:
Garnier BB cream for oily skin has a thin, runny and more watery formula. It blends completely in a jiffy so you have to be quick otherwise it leaves certain patches on skin. It does not feel sticky on skin. On the other hand , the other one has a creamy consistency and looks more like a cream foundation to me. It gives a dewy finish which I love. I set it off by applying a matte transculant powder on it.

Coverage:
 Both have SPF in it. Both provides light to medium coverage and conceals uneven skin tone, scars etc partially. If you want more coverage you can set it off with your favorite compact powder.


I first bought the oil free one in shade MEDIUM , but it is darker than my skin tone. It has peach undertones. The shade LIGHT is perfect for my skin tone. I sometimes mix  both of them to achieve a semi matte finish or use the bb cream for normal skin alone and set it off with makeup fixing powder. Both of them looks very natural and does not gives you a made up look. Here are the swatches. The top one is oil free and bottom one is for normal skin.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector For Normal Skin vs Oily Skin

blended well : garnier bb cream for normal and oily skin

garnier miracle skin perfector for normal skin vs oily skin

My Favorite ?
I have oily skin but I love the medium coverage that I get from Garnier BB cream for normal skin. It gives such a healthy glow or you say dewy finish. I use makeup setting powder on it and it stay put on me for whole day. I just need to re touch my oily T zone area few times. I guess I love it more than the oily free formula.

My ratings :
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector For Oily Skin : 4.5 out of 5
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector For Normal Skin 3.5 out of 5

Both are available nationwide for price range 399 to 425

FoodPanda Shouts Out To Girl Fans

        

"You are what you eat, so don't be Fast, Easy, Cheap or Fake"

I have always wrote about my make up cravings and experiences. Today I am going to talk about my another passion and that is good food. Yes, I am a food junkie and love all kind of tasty, yummy food I used to be a careless eater before reading aboce quote. It comes as an eye opener to me. And I started taking care of my eating habits. And let me tell you it does make all the difference. You can control the way you look, your skin appearance, your body and all by limiting yourself to healthy food. But why compromise on taste?
Just change a few things or substitute certain products with another and maintain an healthy life.

 

Following is a research done by foodpanda on calorie counts of famous fast food items that inhibit most of us from eating due to concerns of gaining weight. If eaten in moderation, these fast food items do not impose negative health impacts. Cutting down on order size and a few ingredients in your meal is a smart thing to do if you’re watching out for your weight and planning to keep a healthy body.

1.    Chicken is an essential part of our meals. When ordering chicken items opt for grilled and avoid fried. Grilled chicken cooks in its own seeping fat. Frying the chicken takes up on extra calorie counts. If you wish to go for fried chicken, skip French fries and dips.

To eat: Grilled chicken burgers, Grilled chicken with vegetables on sidelines. Two fried KFC chicken pieces with salad. Avoid carbonated drinks, choose mineral water. Instead of French fries, pick potato wedges as they are baked.

Calorie count: 1 KFC Chicken thigh piece contains 290 calories in full with 21g of fat. 

 

2.    Veggie burgers are a good substitute for beef burgers. But if you wish to go for beef burgers, drop either cheese or mayo. In general, without the two your veggie burger will carry 7gms of fat and with them, 20gms. Similarly, calorie count will increase too if you add both of them.

To eat: Veggie bun kebabs, variants of chicken wraps.

Calorie count: 1 potato patty contains 135 calories with 8.3g of fat. Chicken Tikka wrap contains 230 calories in total. Veggie wrap contains 186 calories.

 

3.    Be careful about your choice of ingredients in sandwiches. Avoid sweet sauces and extra toppings of ketchup and cheese. Ketchup and other dips like BBQ or Sour Cream are boosted with artificial sugar variants. Again, go with grilled chicken and avoid grilled beef. If you’re tempted to try grilled beef, skip mayonnaise and cheese. Substitute diet cokes with water. Diet cokes contain sugar but in lesser amount.  

To eat: Fajita sandwich without extra sauces, Tuna Salad.

Calorie count: One 6” Chicken Fajita sandwich contains 447 calories with 20g of fat. 1 serving of Tuna salad contains 310 calories.

 

         4.    Next time someone tells you pizza is healthy, take their word for it!  Always  have thin crust pizzas.

To eat: Veggie feast pizza, tandoori chicken pizza.

Calorie count: 1 slice of 12” medium hand-tossed Veggie feast contains 240 calories.

15 Color Face Concealer Palette : Review & Swatches

Hi lovelies :) ,

I am finally free after all the hustle and bustle of eid festivities and parties. I really enjoy eid festival as I have to do my makeup everyday which I  love doing.  Lately I am practicing the art of contouring as I learned that it really makes a difference in your whole makeup look. I was looking for an inexpensive palette for contouring and concealing and just came across this at rosewholesale.

Today I want to share my thoughts about this inexpensive face concealer palette. Lets see what I have to say about it.

 

 What rosewholesale says about it :

 

The beautiful popular cosmetic concealer set is attractive to every girl. With the cosmetic accessory your cheeks will glow with a natural

sun-kissed look. Wearing the cosmetic concealer you will be distinctive and pretty enough among the public. It will be your best friends
for you.

My Thoughts:

This palette comes in a matte black case which is very travel friendly and does not look flimsy or cheap at all. It does not contain any mirror or application brush. It is consists of 15 colors which varies from highlighter shades, corrector shades and concealer shades from light to dark. Each shade is creamy and blends easily except the first shade of first row which is more like a gloss. They covered all my blemishes and dark circles and stay put for good hours. Colors are pigmented though But you have to be careful while using the darker shades as one can easily over do it. The trick is to apply these with light hands and then blend. You can also apply darker shades as a base for your eyeshadows. I used one in my smokey look and it gave fabulous results.This palette will equally suitable for every kind of skin tone. I have not used all shades yet , just a few corrector shades and concealer ones. but I am really pleased with its results.

I wish if they also included any green or red corrector shades in it too. Over all its a great addition in my stash. It will be equally beneficial for beginners and PRO.
You can buy it HERE for 5.44$.

That's all for today. Weather is awesome in my part of the world. Its drizzling here and I love it. What about you girls ?

Review: St.Ives Make Up Remover & Facial Cleanser




On a recent trip to local market, i brought it home with other stuff. I have been st.ives facial scrub since forever now and decided to give this a try as i was running short of my other cleanser. But let me confess , it did not win my heart. Let me tell you why ..

What does it claims ?

Review: St.Ives Make Up Remover & Facial Cleanser

My thoughts:
The moment i open it i knew that i am not going to like it. The fragrance is kind of medicinal. The texture is so greasy and sticky. I tried to massage it on my moist face but it got worse. It did not remove any single traces of makeup. Keeping it in mind that i was not wearing waterproof make up that day. Just a bit of bb cream, kohl and lipstick. It smears kohl everywhere and sticks on my face like i have applied glue or something like that. It was very difficult to remove makeup then.
I don't know why they name it as a make up remover when it is not capable of doing so. It is not worth buying at all, not even as an everyday cleanser. It is so greasy and creamy that i am afraid that it might break me out. I stopped using it after two failed attempts. I lost hope.
In my opinion, this product is not meant for oily or combination skin, may be somebody with very dry skin may find it suitable. But for me its a big no no.

My ratings:
1 out of 5

Price:
350 Rs. bought from Chase Up store.

Lovelyshoes.net sent me a gift card to spend on their website and I selected two pair of shoes. Lets see what I have to say about my experience with them

 

1. Zebra Print Flats Cute Bowknot Flats :
 I love animal prints and keep buying things in leopard , tiger or zebra prints. How can I ignore these flats in gorgeous red color and leopard print. The have written here zebra print but in real it is a sexy leopard print. I guess a typo mistake. The shoes are matches the stock picture provided on their website. Here Is the stock picture:

Shoes are same like stock picture provided. I love this red bowknot details and leopard print on it.

The material is suede and it is well made. I selected size 39 Chinese which is equal to size 38 UK. The shoes fits me well and comfortable to walk in. Some loose threads are visible though.

Sole of shoes are also made neatly and does not slips while walking. You can see in these pictures the quality is good and worth the price you pay for it.You can buy it here for $12.16

My ratings:
4 out of 5

2. Fashion Black Wedges Bowknot stitching Sandals :

These wedge sandals are light weight and very comfortable. They sent me size 37 instead of 39 which is a bit smaller on me but I still can wear these and walk in comfortably. I love these shoes. These are made with suede material and well stitched. The buckles fastens easily and bowknot looks very cute.

 

You can buy this pair here for $14.05.

My ratings:
4.5 out of 5

Lovelyshoes.net is an online wholesaler and retailer of fashion accessories. Yes, they do sell dresses, shoes, bags and accessories. They are china based and ships internationally. They have a wide variety of all fashion items. The website is easy to navigate and you can search and browse it according to your specific needs. Customer service is pretty decent and you get response within 24 hours.

Shipping Cost:
The shipping cost is calculated according to weight. Sometimes it is equal to the shoes price or more expensive than the shoes itself. I bought these two pairs for $26.21 and paid $24.00 as shipping charges. They sent me shoes via EMS which took 5 working days to reach here in Pakistan. I also paid customs duty $11 (1100 Rs. Pkr).

Review: ORGLOW Instant Organic Face Brightening Mask

Today i am going to review the much talked about product of the local blogosphere ... yes you guessed it right .. Its Orglow Instant Organic Face Brightening Mask. Lets see what is my opinion about this product.

ORGLOW Instant Organic Face Brightening Mask

Packaging: 

Packaging is nothing fancy but very basic and simple. It comes in a cheap plastic jar which has a twist open cap and a inner seal to protect product from the effects of environment. The jar is huge in size and not so travel friendly. I wish if they could put a little more effort into their packaging and labels. What i felt missing is a ingredients list. I wish if they could include ingredients list to satisfy curious customers .. like me :(. They have mentioned expiry date so you have to use it within six months after opening.

ORGLOW Instant Organic Face Brightening Mask

My Thoughts:
I was sent this product two weeks back for my consideration. Like other products i used it on alternate days for two weeks and now i am able to share my findings with my readers. My skin was dull and got a summer tan before i started using it.
Its a herbal grounded mixture which has to be mixed with yogurt and rose water (as i have oily skin). The scent of this product when mixed with yogurt is a put off for me. The granules or beads in it can be a little harsh for your facial skin so be gentle when rubbing it off. I applied it on my whole face and neck and left for twenty minutes and then rinse. I felt instant glow in my complexion which i honestly speaking did not expected as it is a herbal product without fancy packaging. My skin felt smoother, baby soft and supple. It removes all the dead skin and white heads efficiently. The next day i got compliments from my fellows if i had some skin treatment. After using it for two weeks i feel that my summer tan is gone, skin is healthier and toned. Only few stubborn blackheads are left behind. The whitening claim is not true but it helps in removing tan and making complexion better.
The only put off for me is its scent, otherwise its a decent products which does what it claims.

You may like this product if:

• you wants instant results.
• you are happy with the results.
• You like organic products
• The smell does not bothers you
• looking for a solution for your dull skin
• Its a Pakistani product and you feel proud using it.

You may not like this if:

• you are into fancy floral smelling products
• ingredients list is not there
• packaging is very basic
• price tag bothers you

My Rating:
4 out of 5

Price:
850 Rs. You can buy it HERE. Join their Facebook page for more information.
