Best Beauty buys under Rs.100

Sunday, May 15, 2011
Hey girls , yesterday i was re arranging my make up stuff , and there i got an idea of this post. I have so many things that are good and budget friendly too, why should not i share these with my readers ??? I know that many of Pakistani girls still cannot afford to buy expensive products . I dedicate this post to my Pakistani girls out there :)
 i have selected some products for you  i like them most and you can buy them without any hassle. Prices are all under Rs. 100. And you can find them easily at any cosmetic store nearby. Have a look :



1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARe - Rs. 75
2. Aqua Nail color in 775 - Rs. 75 ( Read review )
3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry flavor - Rs. 95
4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color - Rs. 99 ( Read review )
5. Marlin Nail Colors - Rs. 80
6. Christine Glitter eye pencil in emarald green - Rs. 55
7. Davis glitter pencil in green - Rs. 90
8. Becute Lipstick - Rs. 95
9. Femina Lip Pencil - Rs. 60

Now take a closer  look at these :

1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARE :






 I bought this facewash when i was on a trip and realized that i forgot to put any facewash in my bag . I bought it as i am familiar with its brand Skin care . I used it for few days and i think it is a great substitute for soap . So girls stop using soap to wash your face and try this economical facewash . It has neem extracts and gives a very fresh feeling after washing. Keeps you under control , but i am in doubt of its acne care part , as i did not use it that much anyhow I like this !!

 what i do not like :  there is no ingredients list on it. They should include the ingredients list.

2. Aqua Nail Color in 775 :






I have done a NOTD post with this nail color earlier , you can read that here. In short, its packaging is cute, color intensity is great, just one coat needed and it goes opaque. No chipping for three days . The color itself is best for the summers. It is my most favorite nail color this summer. I bought mine from Millenium mall, Karachi

3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry Flavor. 


I bought this lip balm in winter season . It sooths your lips and keeps them moisturzed with a sweet flavor of cherry. its very sheer , just gives a hint of pink color on your lips . Smells delicious but the smell does not stays longer.  I use it before applying liquid lipsticks which can cause dryness on lips. It was available in Mango , Strawberry and other flavors too.

4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color :




I love glittery sparrkling nail colors , they looks really festive on nails . Sweet touch cosmetics has a very good quality sparkling nail colors . I have reviewed one in my earlier NOTD post . You can check it out here . They are easy to apply , needs three coats to achieve the opaque look. and does not chips off for three days.
What i donot like : hard to remove just like any other glittery nail colors.

6. Marlin Nail Colors :


i applied two coats here


Marlin cosmetics is a relatively new brand in Pakistan , I have tried two of their nail colors and lipsticks . I like their nail colors . They offers great shades, from pinks to corals , and from reds to blues. Each shade has a number specified to it. The consistency is quit thin , normally i apply three coats of it . The formula is not long wearing on nails so it starts chipping after on or two days.


6. Christine Glitter Eyepencil :




Christine cosmetics offers some very good quality products to its costumers. I have its glitter pencil in green emarald color . And its super creamy , easily glides on eyes and stays put on. It has glitters in it , that is why it looks really glamorous . Available in various colors . I am in love with this pencil. It really makes my brown eyes looks interesting . I also use it sometimes on my waterline just to gives a hint of green and it also stay there .

7. Davis Glitter Eyeshadow Pencils :


These Davis glitter pencils are easily available in the market, These are jumbo size pencils which have glitters in it . They are available in vareity of colors. Use it as a eyeshadow or use it just as an eyeliner , it looks good on eyes. I do not like the amount of glitter present in these pencils . The glitter is hard to remove from the eyes even after washing with soap or any makeup remover.

8. Becute Lipsticks :


Becute cosmetics is very popular brand among Pakistani girls , It offers some great lippies .Their lippies are available for Rs. 95 at Chase departmental store, Karachi. I have few of them , they are creamy in texture, longlasting and have some gorgeous shades. What i do not like about these lipsticks is their smells . It smells like some bees wax or something like plastics .

9. Femina Lip Pencil :

Femina lip pencils are easy to apply and have some gorgeous shades to choose from. THey are creamy and longlasting too.I like them alot , Unfortunately i forgot to take its solo picture , i will upload it later, you can see it in my first pic ( in the most left corner )

Beware Of Fake Cosmetics !!

Hey girls ,

I hope that you all are doing well . Today i am going to share some of my shopping experiences with you !! . I went to buy kryolan tv paint stick as my first one was finished. I stepped into a cosmetic store of Millenium Mall, Karachi . Its a very famous and big mall , you all know it very well. The shopkeeper showed me a kryolan tv stick and the price he told me was just Rs. 400. I was shocked as the original tv paint stick is available for Rs. 750 pkr. Being suspicious , i asked him thatis it an original or fake one ? He kept insisting on that it is an original one and he is selling me just because he wants to make me a regular costumer . ( makes no sense !!! ).
I stepped out of the shop and looked into another shop for the same product. That shopkeeper was an honest one. He told me that there are three versions of Kryolan tv stick is available in the market , their prices are as :

  • Kryolan tv paint stick : original - Rs.750
  • Kryolan tv paint stick : thailand made - Rs. 400
  • Kryolan tv paint stick : local - Rs. 250
I was really shocked, then just for getting information , I asked him the prices of different original and dupes products that are available in the Pakistani market. I concluded that Pakistani markets are flooded with fake or locally made products . Here are some prices of original and fake products , just for your knowledge :
(These pictures are taken from web )

Maybelline dream mousse blush : 

original is available for Rs. 750 to Rs.800 , fake one : Rs. 350

Maybelline dream mousse foundation :

original is available for Rs. 1500 , fake one is available for Rs. 600

Etude Compact twin cake : 





original one : Rs. 700 , fake one : Rs. 350 to Rs. 400

Kryolan Aqua Cake eye liner : 





Original one : Rs : 400 to Rs 450 , Fake one is available for Rs. 75 ( locally made )

I saw another shopkeeper selling Mac and Bobbi Brown gel liners just for Rs. 1000 pkr. I asked him are they original or thailand made , after a long debate he finally admitted these are thailand made but are of great quality. My advice for all of you that do not run over big brand names , Instead of wasting money over these fake products and dupes, Buy cosmetics of Pakistani brands like Luscious , DMGM , Diana of London, Christine , They are a better option.
This is just a small list , to save you girls from being cheated . Always use cosmetics and skin care products . from trusted cosmetics stores. Be safe and secure !!

Have you ever experienced buying any fake product ? Share with me :)

Yours

[NOTD] : Aqua Nail Color

Monday, April 18, 2011
Hey girls,


 I love to paint my nails , i love colors that are vibrant and funky. Thats why i bought this Aqua nail color in number 775. I bought this Aqua Nail color just for Rs. 75 Pkr from a cosmetic shop located at Millenium Mall , Karachi . I was surprised that this brand has some different and dare to wear colors in their nail color range. Like Citrus Orange and Mango Yellow, and Blood Red  were also available ,  i would like to try more colors in a couple of days. I like its packaging, its comes in a cute 15 ml bottle which is diamond shaped.




It is a gorgeous Blue ferozi color , which looks superb and classy on my nails. I applied just one coat of this nail color and surprisingly its consistency is just amazing . It goes opaque in just one coat without streaks or any other flaws.The applicator is also good. I did not apply any top coat but it looks super shiny on my nails :) 


I am really glad that i bought this . This nail color is very vibrant and looks great during summers. The only flaw that i noticed in this nail color is that it is not long lasting and easily chips off after two days.


I would recommend you to apply a base coat first as dark color leaves stains on the nails .


Have any one tried this nail color brand ? What do you think of this review ? Share your views and experiences with me :)
