Review- Maybelline Electro Baby Lips

Hey Beauties & lovely readers!
Hope you're all well and safe. :) Today I am going to give you a short review on my favourite Lip Balms. Hope you would like it as Lips Balms are the best substitute for those who are not very much into lipsticks, who prefer just a hint of colour on their lips and specially for teenagers, this is the best they can have instead of putting on lipsticks and look older than their age.

Brand: Maybelline NewYork
Products: Baby Lips Electro in Strike A Rose & Pink Shock Lip Balms
Price: 350/- Pkr
Available: Just4girls.pk, Naheed Super Market

These electro baby lips available in three shades named; Oh Orange, Strike A Rose, and Pink Shock.
I'm in love with with these balms, they are super moisturizing with a beautiful hint of colour, give you those luscious baby lips that are dream of every girl. I'm using since long and I'll keep buying it. Packaging is super cute, easy to carry in your clutch/bag, lasts easily for two to three months if you use twice a day. These balms have some sweet candy like smell. Easily last till two hours if you don't eat or drink anything in that time. These balms also got some little sparkle that shines on your lips.
Strike A Rose is a light pink colour or I better say baby lip colour, perfect for day time. ;)
Pink Shock is kind of fuschia colour, a little darker than StrikeARose perfect for evenings and night.
Swatches are attached so you beauties could have an idea.

Pros: 
*Super Moisturizing
*Colours are simply beautiful
*Gives you those baby lips
*Best substitute of lipsticks
*Easy to carry
*Non Irritated

Cons:
*Available only three colours
*If you don't like smell or sparkle on your lips
*You're not very much into lip balms

Its a must try ladies. ;)



Have a good day ahead! :)

Review- The Body Shop, Madagascan Vanilla Flower ( Eau De Toilette, Body Lotion)

Hey Beauties, I thought to give you a short review on a "Gift Set" from one of my favourite brand "The Body Shop", I got it as a gift last days. ;)

I would like to share one of my favourite quote with you before getting ahead; " A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting. ” - Christian Dior.
Yes, yes, You all guessed it write, I'm going to review my favourite scent today, talking about "Madagascan Vanilla Flower (EAU DE TOILETTE)" and "Madagascan Vanilla Flower (BODY LOTION)".I am a big big fan of good fragrances and always in search of that could touch my heart & soothes my soul.
And this gift came in a beautiful packaging of yellow/gold box or I better say a book that not only got a perfect cover but also the story inside is way capturing. ;)

Madagascan Vanilla Flower Scent inspired by a sunny day on the tropical island of Madasgar, I think that's the reason they give it this name, this warm, sensual, and delicious scent, I'm using these days, I do not like very sharp scents, always prefer something floral, flavoured and this scent is my best match this summer as no one wants to smell sharp scents in this hot weather of karachi. This has got some vanilla touch and when I use it I think whether to smell it or eat it, that's too delicious seriously and attracts others much . :D If you want to create your own fragrance, you can even blend two scents from their collection to build your own ( that's mentioned on their website) though I have never ever tried, I prefer to have it as it is. It came in 50 ml in a beautiful glass bottle, easy to pour it out. If you love something warm, light and delicious scent, you will definitely like it. It has some beautiful flowers print on it and a background of some island, that's pretty nice.

Now come to Madagascan Vanilla Flower Body Lotion, this is a skin softening body lotion, I used it and found moisturizing, it didn't leave my skin sticky or greasy, absorbed quickly in skin and left it with a touch of beautiful fragrance. It came in 250 ml bottle , that's pretty nice and its a plastic one.

Price: As I got it as a gift so I don't know but you may check on their website and Yes I got it from abroad, not from Pakistan.

Pros:
*Light, sensual, and warming scent.
*Not sticky body lotion.
*If you like floral scents so you will prefer it.

Cons:
*If you're not very much into warm scents.
*You do not like vanilla flavour or floral scents.




That's all based on my personal experience or observation, hope you like it and yes do not forget to wear good scents. ;)

Have a good sunday! :)

Review- St.Ives Apricot Scrub

Hello Beauties, hope you're doing well. As you all know summer has started and its scorching hot these days in Karachi but do not forget to hydrate yourself taking loads of H20, eat cucumbers and fresh vegetables to keep your skin healthy & hydrated all summer.

This award-winningh Apricot Scrub with 100% Natural Exfoliants deep cleans, instantly leaving skin smooth and glowing."

Now come to my experience, I must say I'm all happy keeping my loyalty with St.Ives. It leaves my skin smooth, glowing, and radiant, remove all impurities and specially white-heads, its oil-free formula perfectly suitable to our country's hot and humid weather. Its microbeads work wonders, slowly exfoliate your rough skin, and leaves your skin fresh and all clean. Its best for all skin type because at my home, my sister who got sensitive skin including me with normal skin type using it since time and thankful we haven't had to encounter with any side-effect.

And its necessary to exfoliate your skin at least twice in a week but before, moisten your face with water and dispense product on your fingertips and massage gently over your face, at least do this for 10 minutes with moist hands, after washing it with water or any facewash you use, you'll definitely see a good change. :)

Review- The Body Shop Coconut Range


Hello beauties, hope you're doing well though its a monday today. ;) I was planning to write a review since I got my hands on "The Body Shop" coconut range.

I always loved "The Body Shop"  a lot and I feel this international brand needs no introduction as the name speaks for itself; becauae of its huge range, worthy results, & of course those fragrances that tempt you to even taste it a bit (just kidding, I can't resist though but frankly I have never ever tasted) ;).

Now come to the review, I got this beautiful "The Body Shop Coconut Set" last days as a prize. This beautiful set came in a lovely mesh bag, included with shower cream (60 ml), body scrub (49 g), body butter (48 g) and loofah.
As you all know its a coconut range so everything smells like a coconut or I better say I was dreaming about beach with loads coconut trees around & enjoying spa and fresh air of sea. :D

I used body scrub and I must say, it left my skin smooth and visibly silky with a hint of coconut smell, consistency of scrub is good as you can see, neither thick nor a fluid one, but I better recommend you girls to use it on wet skin as its all get dried quickly.
After scrubbing, I washed it off using shower cream, it left my skin radiant and glowing.
Its always necessary to moisturize your skin, doesn't matter if its may or december, and its best to use a good moisturizer or anything that suits your skin, I'm using body butter these days, as my skin is very dry in comparison of my face, I can see change, its giving me good result, I can see my skin's need of hydration getting fulfilled but it never meant you stop drinking at least 12 glass of water in a day, that's the worst mistake we do. And come to the mesh bag, you can even keep your on the go makeup products in it, that's what I'm going to do in future with it. ;)
I would definitely recommend "The Body Shop" range to my readers according to my experience. You can shop it online at Just4Girls.pk or you may visit Naheed Super Market, The Forum, The Ocean Mall, or The Dolmen Malls in Karachi.






Pros:
*Leaving skin hydrated, smooth, radiant, and glowing.
*The smell of coconut (if you like).
*Easily available.
*Trusted brand.

Cons:
*If you don't like coconut smell. :P
*If your skin is very very sensitive.
*You may feel itching.

Price: I got it as a gift. :)

Do post your comments and suggestions below, I'll appreciate much. :)

Have a great day!
