NOTD : Stamping over Sweet Touch Nail Lacquer in Deep Turquoise

Hi girls ,I did this mani on valentine's day but had no time to write a blog post as i was extremely busy with my studies and final project work Finally i am done with it and now back to blogosphere .

I know it is an unusual mani , mostly girls wear pink or red nail colours on valentine's day . but colour blocking is a fever these days. That is why i decided to wear turquoise shade on my nails.
 . Sweet Touch cosmetics is a popular brand in Pakistan. I love this brand for their nail lacquers . These are affordable and have variety of colours in nail lacquers. I bought this particular shade a while ago . I love wearing bright colours in Spring . Do you too ?

I applied two coats here with a top coat here. It is a beautiful shimmer polish and contains beautiful teal and gold shimmer in it. It is available easily across Pakistan for Rs. 90 .

I stamped it using konad stamping plate and stamping kit sent by meliney.com

These are original konad plates and gives best results with stamping kit.

Please let me know if you like this nail art post and what is your favourite nail colour this spring season ?

Yours ,
Jeeya

 These are all mineral cosmetics , lets see what did she send to me ..

Package contains :

• Mineral Blush/eye color
• Mineral Eye color
• Mineral Lip glaze

Mineral Eye / Blush Color :
I got one eye color in Royal violets . And One eye/blush color in Sienna Sunrise. The names of the shade is written with pen on the back of the little jars. As you can see , the jar of mineral eye color is smaller than the eye/blush one. But both of the jars are filled with lots of the loose pigments. I am surprised to see that they did not include full ingredients list on the label of mineral eye color jar.

The colors she sent me are beautiful. The mineral eye pigment is a violet blue shade with lots of shimmers inside. And the blush color is a beautiful pink shade with gold sheen . It looks very pretty when applied. They does not contain gritty glitter particles . The sifter jars are sealed with a protecting layer to avoide wastage of product. As you can see in the below picture.

I am glad to see that these pigments are not at all chalky but applies smoothly and the color pay off is excellent.  These are long lasting too and does not fade away easily unlike other mineral eye pigments i have tried so far.
Here is a swatch of both of these on my hand :

Over all these pigments are good enough to work with . These are easily blendable , well pigmented , shimmery and most important thing is that they stay put on eyelids for a long period of time. These are full sized sample sifter jars. You can buy this product here.

Mineral Lip Gloss / glaze :
I was sent a full size sample of lip glaze in shade ROSE Garden. Its a shimmery lip glaze . The

Product Description: 

Is it a gloss? Or is it a glaze? It's a combination of both. Moisturizing to the lips and light weight. 

Ingredients: Certified Organic Jojoba Oil, Castor Seed Oil, 100% Pure Vegetable Glycerin, Lecithin (Vegetable Source), Natural Vitamin E, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Allantoin, Titanium Dioxide, Mica and Iron Oxide.

My thoughts : 
This is a combination of lip gloss and lip glaze. What i love most about this that the color suits me alot. it is a beige brown  shade with a hint of copper and lots of shimmers. I love the fact that it is moisturizing but totally non-sticky. The pigmentation is good. And it looks like a great product with all the mineral goodness. This product is taste less and odour less . I wish if she good add any flavour to it. Here is a swatch of this on my lips :

You can see that the color in the tube matches with the color on my lips . It means this glaze not at all sheer and gives a good coverage. The lip gloss lasts on my lips for a good 2 3 hours then gradually fades away.
You can buy this product here.

Availability :
You can get these products HERE

Review : Nivea Extra Cell Repair Pore Minimizer Night Cream

Hi girls , Sorry for being absent from my blog , i was really busy in my personal life for past few days . Now everything is back to normal. Today i am going to review Nivea Extra Cell Repair Pore Minimizer Night Cream. I am using it regularly for more than two weeks now . And i am really impressed by its performance , lets find out what do i think about this night cream.

Packaging :
This night cream comes in a jar . Its a smaller jar as compare to the size of its outer box. I guess you can put another jar of same size inside the packaging. After using it for upto 2 weeks now , it is still alot of cream present in the jar , i think once jar will last upto one month . The card board packaging contains all the essential information about the product , but alas !! everything except its name is written in thai language , which i absolutely do not understand at all.

I wish if someone could translate it for me , i really love reading package instructions and other useful information , Only list of ingredients is given in english , which is mentioned on the bottom side.

My thoughts :
It smells  exactly the same as Extra cell repair face wash ( read review here ) . The smell is refreshing and floral. It absorbs really faster and sinks in the skin within no time. It does not leave any residue or white cast behind it . I also did not find my face oily in the morning , which is a plus point for me. I started using this night cream because i had a few stubborn acne scars on my face and i am glad to see that after using this night cream , they started to lighten after a week. It makes my skin tone brighter , or i would say it lightens it a bit , but do not expect for a miracle . It just brightens my skin tone. As far as its pore minimizing abilities are concerned , i did not have too many open pores or visible open pores on my face , but i feels that it makes my skin firmer , smoother and younger looking. It did not break me out , i love this fact.

Here you can see the cream is thick in consistency but sinks completely by the skin within a minute :

Over all , it is a great product for oily or problem skin . I would really like to recommend it to those who wants to get rid of scars and a brighter complexion .

You may like this product if ..

• You want to reduce dark spots
• You want a non oily night cream
• you want to improve your skin complexion
• you have oily skin

You may not like this product if ..

• You expect to do any miracle for your complexion
• It is not easily available 

I got this product from Watson's bangkok  for 350 bahts .
Please share your opinions if you have tried this product ?

Love,
Jeeya

Soft Matte Lipstick in Canada by Vasanti Cosmetics [Review & Swatches]

Hey girls , I was sent few Vasanti cosmetics products for review purpose . Vasanti Cosmetics is a canadian brand and i am really impressed by their range of cosmetics. I am very much pleased to see that these products are packaged beautifully and has a high end brand feel to them . Today i am going to review soft matte lipstick in shade Canada !!

Packaging :
I am a great fan of good packaging . And It is really nicely packaged in a blue box with nicely written beauty in some international languages and information about weight and shade name. The silver metallic body of this lipstick gives a high end look to it .

Product Information :


Vasanti cosmetics claims that :

Lipsticks with a beautiful matte formula that is hydrating and will not dry out your lips. Leaves the lips with an incredibly soft finish with long wear properties. Loaded with great ingredients that have hydrating, light diffusing and anti-oxidants properties so your lips are taken care of while you wear colour

• A dreamy non-drying matte formula that protects with anti-oxidants

• Long lasting with a suede-like finish

• Provides long lasting hydration

• Has light diffusing properties for fuller looking lips

• Formulated WITHOUT: mineral oil & petrolatum, sulfates, GMO's, Triclosan 
• Not tested on animals

My thoughts :


What i find unique about these lipsticks that their names are given after country names.I selected shade Canada for my consideration . I thought that it would be a special shade because this brand also belongs to Canada. And i was right. This particular shade is a beige brown color with mauve undertones which really compliments my wheatish skin tone .I also feel that it is a universally flattering shade which will looks great on most skin tones. I find these lipstick really moisturizing and the best thing , it stays put on the lips for a good 3 to 4 hours even after a meal. The texture of this lipstick is creamy and matte. It gives a opaque coverage to the lips which i truly love.
I love the fact that this lipstick is formulated without harmful ingredients which makes it really healthy .
here is a swatch of Canada on my hand :

On my lips :

Over all , i really like the color and pigmentation of this lipstick . Despite the fact that it is a matte lipstick , it does not make my lips dry at all , but keeps them hydrated. I will highly recommend this to those who are looking for a long lasting velvet finish matte lipstick !!


Price And Availability :


You can buy this lipstick online here , and at selected stores in USA , UK and Canada for 15 $.
