Review: Pond's White Beauty BB+ Cream

My Thoughts:

I just bought on the go when I last visited Chase Up store. When I opened its cardboard packaging I was very disappointed to see that a very sleek and smaller tube comes out. which looks like a sample or travel size product. I expected something bigger as I paid Rs. 255 for it. Regardless, its weight which is only 18 gms , the overall packaging is very sleek, girly and eye catching. it looks very similar to other products offered in the range of Pond's White Beauty.

I was also hesitant to buy this because it only comes in one shade. I was afraid first then bought it just to try it for once. But I am glad that I bought it. It does not have any fragrance at all. The formula Is very good. It is non sticky, very light weight, absorbs quickly and instantly brightens up my face. It provides medium coverage. It means I can easily skip my concealer for under eye circles and small scars while using this. It blends very well into the skin and provides flawless skin within minutes. The formula is very good for my combination to oily skin. It does not break me out. Needless to say , moisturize first, if you have dry skin. It also have SPF 30 which protects skin from harmful sun rays. It comes in one shade only , but it suits very well to my skin shade.

Fairness claim is not true as it just brightens up my complexion. I have been using it continuously for more than two weeks now and did not notice any improvement in my complexion. However , scars seems to fade away a little bit. Here is the list of ingredients for those who are curious about it:

Beauty on a budget : Best buys under 500 Rs.

Hi dear, few years back I did a post on few products that could be bought under Rs. 100 and believe me I got many compliments and appreciation from my readers. I know this fact that we live in a country where most of the girls still cannot spend much on beauty and make up accessories. I also kept this fact in mind that online shopping is still out of reach for masses here in Pakistan.  Keeping all this in mind I have gathered few products again that are my favorites and some are included in my holy grail products yet these are affordable and available easily nationwide.

Lets have a look at these :

• Loreal Nutri Gloss Mirror Shine Shampoo and Conditioner - I have been using these two for more than three years now and no looking back since then. Price Around Rs. 220 each

• Pond's Pimple Clear Face Wash - A multi action face wash that I have repurchased twice. Also mentioned it in my summer essentials price is Rs.250 -  Read Review HERE

• MUA eyeshadow primer - a very good primer yet affordable Price 250 Rs. 

• Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me - my go to lip balm when I do not feel like doing make up.  I love how it makes my lips soft and kissable. Price Rs. 350

• Garnier BB Creams - for normal skin the other one is for oily skin - I mix both of them to achieve flawless skin with an healthy glow. Price Rs. 400  Read Review HERE

• Christine Coloured eyeliners in teal - funky colors eyeliners for brighten up your everyday look- Price Rs. 150 . Review Coming Soon

• Rivaaj Uk lipstick - it is very moisturizing , creamy and stay put for good 3 hours. Could not find more shades in it , but love it. Price 150 Rs. -

• Essence All About Matt Transculant Loose Powder - It is a transparent loose powder which can be used as a make up fixer and blending powder. I love how it keeps my make up fresh for hours. Price 550 Rs. Review Coming Soon

• Essence Kohl Pencil in Black - It is creamy , black , does not tug eyes while applying, the only problem is its staying power. It does not stay put for longer hours or if you have got oily lids. I use it with dusting a little bit black eyeshadow on top of it to make it stay longer. Price Rs. 175 Review coming soon

• Sweet Touch Sparkling Dust - Its a multi purpose shimmering powder - I use it as eyeshadow pigment , some times as highlighter on top of my blusher. Price Rs. 250 - Read Review HERE

• Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss in coral delight , Bought it recently and loves how yummy it smells like vanilla cupcakes , its a sheer lipgloss with fine gold shimmers which looks beautiful and reflects light. Price 495 - Review coming soon

• Miss Rose Cake Eye Liner - its an inexpensive alternative to the infamous Karyolan aqua cake liner . it is not the blackest black but does it job well. Rs. 200

While I am writing this post , several other products are keep coming to my mind which I forgot to capture in the above picture. I guess I would have to write another blog post as a sequal to this one. If you have any product in your favorites list , please do share with me and my readers.

Review : Pond's Pimple Clear White Multi Action Face Wash

Life is getting busier day by day. Gone are the days when we carry many different gadgets with us to perform various tasks. Now its all about Hitting two birds by one stone. Today in the spotlight is Pond's Pimple-clear White Multi action face wash. Lets see what does it claims:



Review : Pond's Pimple Clear White Multi Action Face Wash

 

 

My thoughts:

I have been using Pond's Pure White Beauty face wash (review) religiously in summers and love it for sure. On a recent visit to supermarket I spotted new range of Pond's face washes. It was also available in Acne-clear and  anotherone with scrub. I picked up this because I do not have serious acne breakouts rather just one or two occasional pimples. I started using it two weeks back when one pimple appeared near my chin. After first wash, my face instantly felt thoroughly cleansed, toned, brighten up and oil free. I also noticed that my complexion looks even out. It reduced the swollen around pimple area and it disappeared in a two or three days. But I also noticed that it is not much effective in clearing up acne scars but it did heal it really well. I had a few whiteheads and on regular use I noticed that they are also gone away.

The smell is almost identical to Pond's Pure White Beauty Facial Foam which is mild and kind of herbal. The face wash lathers up well and a pea size amount is enough to clean your face and neck efficiently. This is my new love from Pond's range of face washes. Here are the ingredients :

 

Ingredients : Pond's Pimple Clear White Multi Action Face Wash

 To sum it up, I would say that its a effective face wash for oily skin, makes skin firmer, toner and brighter. It is a good product if you have few pimples and wants to get rid of them without digging any hole in your pocket.

Pond's Pure White Beauty Deep Cleansing Facial Foam with Activated Carbon : Review

Hey girls , have you ever think of using carbon on your face ??? I did not think about it until i came to know about Pond's new pure white beauty range products . Activated carbon is their key ingredient which is proven to remove dirt from pores .



 After reading so many positive feedbacks from valuable costumers around the world , i decided to try one of their product. I bought Pond's Pure beauty deep cleansing facial foam ( with activated carbon ) .

Product Information :
Pond's introduces a new skin cleansing philosophy, black attracts black. New Pond's Pure White Facial Foam is formulated with activated carbon. The black activated carbon is known to easily absorb and lift away black dirt and impurities from the skin surface and deep within pores.
Pond's website claims that :

Introducing Pond's Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam. This revolutionary product contains Activated Carbon proven to lift black impurities for purer, whiter skin.

Key features : 

• Activated carbon
• Vitamin B3
• Reveals your natural pure white looking skin
• Reduces blemishes
• 100 grams

What is activated carbon ?

I was so curious to know about this ingredient so i google it and look what i read about it  :

Activated charcoal powder is an amazing substance and there are many benefits of activated charcoal. It adsorbs more poisons than any other substance known to mankind.Physicians primarily use activated charcoal powder for eight different purposes. Here they are:1 – To treat poisonous bites from snakes, spiders, and insects (38).
2 – To treat poisonings in general, as well as overdoses of aspirin, Tylenol, and other drugs.
3 – To treat some forms of dysentery, diarrhea, dyspepsia, and foot-and-mouth disease.
4 – To disinfect and deodorize wounds.
5 – To eliminate toxic by-products that cause anemia in cancer patients.
6 – To filter toxins from the blood in liver and kidney diseases
7 – To purify blood in transfusions.
Because of its super-absorptive abilities, activated charcoal has been used to clean wounds on the skin. Individuals have also tried using it to absorb snake venoms, viruses, bacteria, and harmful materials excreted by bacteria or fungi. activated charcoal probably won’t harm you. It’s been used for centuries, and has relatively few documented side effects. The worst of these is the seemingly innocuous bout of constipation or stomach ache, and that’s only if you ingest it. And activated charcoal could be effective in deep cleaning your pores. (source)

My thoughts : 
Pond's pure white deep cleansing facial foam comes in a sleek and super sexy black easy to squeeze tube. I paid Rs. 325 Pkr for this 100g tube . It has a plastic lid to open which is tightly closed. It is handy and you can easily put this in your travel bag too. It has the mildest scent i have ever felt in any facial wash , which is a plus point for me .  I do not like products with stronger scents. Product is pearly grey in color. I thought it would be jet black from inside too ( but thank God it is not ).The face wash is very creamy and you only have to squeeze a pea size amount on your palm. It lathers well , and does it job very impressively.
From the very first wash , my facial skin feels instantly cleaner , brighter than before . It also did not dry my skin like other face washes. It makes my skin soft , radiant and supple and oil free with out drying it.
I also washed my face after makeup , and surprisingly it also cleaned it away . Even it removed marks of my most stubborn kohl pencils too.

Jumping towards Pros and Cons :

Pros :

• Removes dirt and make up
• affordable price
• eye catching packaging
• contains vitamin B3
• gives a brighter complexion
• very mild scent , almost fragrance free

Cons:

• I did not find any cons yet.

Over all , it is a great product to use everyday .
I am thinking to buy some other products of this range too.

My recommendation :


yes , I would 100 % recommend product !! planning to buy some other products from this range.

What do you think of this review ? have you ever tried this ? feel free to comment below !!

Yours truly,
