Review : Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Healthy Naturals Concealer in Beige

hey girls , please forgive me for being disappeared from this world of blog , i was extremely busy and there was so much to do in my personal life. Lets move on , good news is that i have got some new stuff and i will be sharing these with you in a couple of days , so stay tuned !!

Today i am going to review Maybelline clear smooth minerals healthy naturals concealer. I got this accidently , as my fiancee was on a business trip to Thailand, i asked him, to buy me foundation of this range of maybelline products but by mistake he bought this concealer from watson's Thailand. But i am glad that he made this mistake , want to know why ? just read it below :

Packaging :

The packaging of this concealer is really compact , it is smaller than a tube of lip gloss and you can easily carry it along with you and use it on the go. It come with a duo fiber bent applicator , just like any other lip gloss applicator , which makes it easy to use only where it is needed, you can apply it in dots and blend it with your fingers and it does not go wasted at all.

My experience :

As i said earlier in this post that i wanted to get a foundation of this range but i accidently got this . But i am using it now every day and do not leave home without this . I apply it under my eyes and to hide my acne scars etc. It has a thick consistency , which made it easy to apply and it does not run down. It also blends easily and gives medium to full coverage. It is a mineral concealer , that means it does not clog my pores . It gives me a healthy look and wakes me up when i applies it under my eyes. After using this , i had to apply only a little amount of loose mineral foundation and i am good to go on my work everyday .

It is available in six natural shades. I have got shade medium beige. 

Here is a swatch of this on my hand :

blended :

Price & Availibility :
This product is available at all the leading stores . I got mine from watson's Thailand for around 150 baht. ( correct me if i am wrong , as i forgot the actual price)

Let me know what do think of this concealer if you have used this ? What do you expect from your concealer ?

Review : Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel liner

Hey my sugar plums :),

Today's post is very close to my heart. Its about a product which is very close to my heart.As you all know that i am a big fan of kohls and eyeliners,  its Maybelline Lasting Drama gel liner in black , which is raved about many bloggers and girls and now. I am now addicted to it too.

What does Maybelline claims ? :

Now gel reinvents liner:            
• Oil-free formula holds highly concentrated pigments in a clear gel base
• Smudge-proof and waterwproof for 24 hours
• Most intense line for lasting drama                                                  
• Safe for sensitive eyes and ophthalmologist-tested

• Contact lens safe

Packaging :

Maybelline Lasting drama gel liner comes in a black box which has a glass pot filled with gel liner in it and a flat tip eyeliner brush with plastic cap. Glass pot looks very elegant with a screw open silver cap. The  cap itself does not feels of good quality. The amount of product present in glass pot is 2.8 g. But i know it will last longer as only a tiny amount of product is needed to line my eyes. It comes in three shades , black , brown and plum , I have it in black shade. 

My thoughts :

This gel liner is very pigmented.  I only have to dip it once in the pot. and the brush carries the right amount to line my eyes. The brush given is of good quality.It glides smoothly and gives great results .It takes a few minutes to dry but once it is dried It is waterproof, rear proof and does not smudge at all.It dries on a matte finish , which gives a very soft look to the eyes. I swatched it on my hand and then put my hand under running  water but it did not smudge at all. after several hours a little fading can be seen but thats okay. I am wearing it daily to line my eyes and getting compliments . Even the hot and humid weather of Karachi , it stay put on my so oily eyelids for several hours without any smudging or Panda eyes ... Thats a great plus for me .

As it is a gel liner , i tightly close its lid after using otherwise it will dry sooner. I have also washed the brush given with water and its still in good shape. The cap given with the brush prevents it from any damage. Here you can see how pigmented and creamy is this gel liner :

Here is a swatch on my hand :

Jumping towards pros and cons :

Pros :

• Waterproof, tear proof
• smudge proof
• brush provided is of good quality
• packaging is compact
• color intensity is great
• blackest eyeliner i have ever seen
• stays put on my eyes for several hours

Cons :

• Not easily available in Pakistan
• May be Pricey ( 850 pkr ) from some girls.

Review : Pure Beauty Jasmine Water BB Cream

Hey my sweeties , today i am going to review my latest addiction , Pure Beauty Jasmine Water BB cream .. Now i guess most of you did not know much about a bb cream .. a bb cream ( blemish balm cream ) is very famous among Asian ladies these days . Why ?? because it helps to sooth skin and regenerate skin , in the meanwhile it acts as a sunscreen , moisturizer , gives coverage like a foundation. If you want more information about bb creams go here .

I read many reviews about bb creams and feel that every blogger is talking about it . Thats why i decided to get my hands on a bb cream . I asked my fiance ( who was on a tour to Thailand ) to bring me a good bb cream. He bought me Pure beauty Jasmine Water bb cream . At first i just wanted to try it , but now i feel like wearing it every day when going out . I would call it a miracle cream. Why ? find it below :

Packaging : 

The packaging is very cute and classy. It is lilac and have flower patterns all over. It comes in a 30 ml squeeze tube with a silver twist cap. It is easy to carry around and put in your travel bag. The tube is not fully filled with the product . What i feel that there is just 70% of the cream is present in the tube.

On the back side product description , usage , caution and storage information is given . It is readable in the below picture so i do not feel like writing it again .

My thoughts :


Pure beauty Jasmine water bb cream is a  triple action cream, It protects my skin with 30 spf , moisturizes and gives coverage of a foundation..
This is my first bb cream so i can not make any comparisons , I can just give my opinion about this particular cream. I do not have blemishes on my face ( Thank God ) just one of two acne scars and discoloration. This product makes my life easy. Now i just pour a tiny amount of product and apply it with my fingers all over. After that i blend it my Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush. and what i get a flawless skin. It gives medium coverage , and a moist look. It feels very light on skin and i feel like wearing no makeup on my skin ( Hurray for that ).
 It dries quickly so you have to work faster otherwise you will get a whitish mask like thing on your face. At first i just wanted to give it a try , but now i feel like wearing it everyday when going out.
I am using this product for a week now on daily basis , it did not break me out till now. It does not give oily look. My skin feels smoother and great after using this. Pure beauty jasmine water bb cream is only available in one shade , which is one notch lighter than my original skin but when blended properly it does not feel lighter. Here is a swatch of this bb cream :

only a drop is enough to cover the whole face

Here i spread it on my hand  :

blended with fingers : with flash

blended : without flash

Jumping towards Pros and Cons :

Pros : 

• Cute packaging
• afforable as compare to other bb creams 
• Blendable
• medium coverage
• 30 SPF
• does not makes my face shiny 
• makes skin softer

Cons : 

•  available in only one shade ( tanned people would have problem with this )
• Not available in Pakistan
• should have come with flip open cap instead of twist open cap.

Price and Availability :

Pure Beauty Jasmine water BB cream is easily available at all watson's store for around 400 Bahts ( around 1200 Pkr )

My recommendation :

Yes , if you want to skip layers of sun block , moisturizer , foundation from your daily makeup routine and wear only one product.
