REVIEW:

These pair of socks come in one color only, that is the one shown in the picture above, light brown/Skin color. The material these socks are made up of is extremely comfortable, made up of 100% silk. Not at all itchy or harsh. These are ankle length socks. 
I have been using these socks for some time now and I totally like them. For me, they are dual function; A. They keep my feet warm in winters and B. They make my feet really soft and hydrated.
How do I use these socks: What I do is, I clean my feet at night before going to the bed, I clean it thoroughly with water and soap and then I let them air dry for a few minutes. Next I apply The Body Shop's Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue on my feet and in the end I wear these socks. You may use any moisturiser or even Vaseline. Keep wearing them over night and then take them off the following morning.
Results: I wake up to soft and hydrated feet. No dry scaly reptile like feet anymore.
Over-all I will totally recommend these socks to all, especially in the winters I think they're a must have.
Wash them after every use to maintain the hygiene level. You can wash them with water and soap.

Price & Availability: I bought these pair of socks from Crabtree & Evelyn at Dolmen City Mall, Clifton, Karachi. I bought these socks during a sale at Crabtree & Evelyn for around PKR 530. I'm not sure about the actual price. You mayvisit the shop and check it out. Or if you're not in Karachi you may visit the Crabtree & Evelyn website for further queries here. 
Visit the Facebook page of Crabtree & Evelyn Pakistan here.

Points in favour:

• The material of the socks is very comfortable. 
• Price on sale was reasonable.
• Can be easily hand washed.
• Makes my feet very soft and smooth.
• People living in Karachi, Pakistan can easily visit the shop and get these socks.

Points not in favour:

• Available in only one color.

What Does Sleek Makeup say about this product?
Our blushers are long lasting and highly pigmented available in a variety of finishes. Each shade glides on smoothly and enables you to create an array of stunning looks. We offer a wide range of shades to complement any skin tone, no matter the occasion.

REVIEW: 

The blush comes in a small, jet black colored plastic pan with an in-built mirror. Contains about 8g of the product. Packaging is sturdy & light weight. 
Sleek Makeup blusher in Pomegranate is a beautiful pink-purple blush with more purple undertones. It is a matte finish blush. Powder in consistency. It is moderately pigmented & I usually have to use multiple strokes of the blush to achieve the desired colour. Fall out of the product in the pan is minimal. Staying power is not very impressive though. Without a primer it hardly stays for an hour or two. With a primer underneath, staying power is extended up to a good five to six hours! It appears as a gorgeous pinkish purple flush on my cheeks. I like to wear this blush with very minimal makeup i.e. nude eyes, flawless base and light pink or light brown lips. 
I apply this blusher using my Real Technique's Blush Brush. Blends in easily. 

Price & Availability: I bought this blush online from a Facebook page Beauty Enhancers, worth PKR 1100. You can also buy this from Sleek Makeup's website here.

Points in favour:

• Travel friendly packaging
• Matte finish.
• Moderately pigmented.
• Produces a gorgeous pinkish-purple flush on the cheeks.
• Minimal fall out in the pan

Points not in favour:

• Not available at local drugstores in Pakistan. Has to be ordered online.
• Price offered by Pakistani cosmetic pages is a bit too steep. 
• Staying power of the blush without a primer is very less.

REVIEW:

Highlighters are my favourite and the most important part of my make-up stash. Although each of these highlighters are going to last for a life time I still got my hands on multiple brands, that's how a highlighter hoarder is, no? :D

Moving on with the review, this post is specifically directed at comparisons between different brands of highlighters, their pros and cons, longevity, which will suit the Asian skin tones the most etc.

• M.A.C MINERALIZE SKINFINISH IN SOFT & GENTLE: 
  M.A.C describes Soft & Gentle as a 'Glided Peach Bronze". Comes in a typical M.A.C packaging without a mirror. However lately, M.A.C has launched this product with a new window packaging. Packaging is not travel friendly in my opinion (as I almost broke the transparent lid while it was in my makeup pouch) so be extra-careful if you have to travel with it. I simply LOVE this product. This was my first highlighter and I bought it around three years back and I still have a lot of product left (haven't even hit the pan yet). So this is going to last you for a life time. It appears as a gorgeous gold-bronze highlighter on my skin tone (Asian Skin, for reference I'm NC 25-30). It has tiny speckles of gold glitter to it which do not really show up as glitter chunks on the face (thank god!) rather appear as an evenly glowy skin. Does not exaggerate my pores or any flaws (provided you keep a light hand while applying). Blends very easily. Pigmentation is pretty good too. I usually like to wear it over heavier makeup/formal events. I believe this is too much for an everyday look.

• The Balm MaryLou Manizer: The Balm describes MaryLou as a "honey-hued Highlighter, Shimmer & Shadow". Comes in a beautifully designed metal pan with an in-built mirror. Packaging is chic & sturdy. MaryLou Manizer has slight silver undertones in my opinion. On my skin it appears as Golden-silver coloured highlighter. One thing about this product; it is insanely pigmented! Over the time one thing that I have noticed about this product is that it is a bit difficult to blend at times because of which it appears concentrated on the skin thus cheeks end up looking more like 100-watt bulb lights :/ Oh and it magnifies my pores into 30 times the actual size, something I totally dislike about this product. I usually wear this product during the day time. 

• MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter in Pink Shimmer: MUA describes this highlighter as "Lightweight baked powder that transforms complexion with luminescence shimmer." As the name says, it is a pink coloured highlighter with slight silver undertones. To be honest, I do not reach out to this highlighter much since it is more pink based. I feel that this is not really made for Asian skin tones and would suit people with paler skin more. It is not very pigmented either. Multiple strokes are needed to bring out the desired glow. Quantity is enough to last us a life time. This highlighter has waves like pattern/design in the pan which makes it appear chic. Comes in a white coloured plastic pan with a transparent lid. No in-built mirror. Packaging is sturdy. 

• ELF Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls: ELF describes this highlighter as "Infused with Vitamin E, Jojoba, Sunflower, Apricot and Grape to nourish and hydrate the skin. The long-lasting baked shimmering color can be applied wet for a vibrant effect or dry for sheer pigmentation." I'm not impressed with the pigmentation of this highlighter much. It blends easily though without much struggle, but multiple strokes are required to bring out the desired glow. This is a light golden coloured highlighter with prominent silver undertones. Is somewhat similar to The Balm MaryLou Manizer in colour but not exactly the same. Comes in a black plastic pan with a transparent lid. No in-built mirror. Packaging is not very travel friendly in my opinion. (For detailed review, pictures & swatches check here).

• KIKO Water Eyeshadow in 208 Light Gold: KIKO describes this as "A mixture of groundbreaking spherical powders for an outstanding colour effect, bringing together extreme coverage, pure luminosity and long lasting." This is basically a water eye shadow and not a highlighter BUT since the colour is said to be a dupe for the MAC Whisper Of Gilt highlighter thus it can be used as a face highlighter. Since I haven't used MAC Whisper Of Gilt, I will not draw a comparison between the two. The pigmentation is pretty impressive. Honestly I wasn't expecting it to be filled with pigmentation since it is originally a water eye shadow.  Comes in a small sized black plastic pan with a small in-built mirror. It is a golden colored highlighter which imparts a gorgeous glow to my skin and lately I have been reaching out to this more & more. It blends like a dream. 

1. Product with the LEAST fall out in the pan: The Balm Marylou Manizer.
2. Product which has an absolute travel friendly packaging: The Balm Marylou Manizer.
3. Product which blends effortlessly: MAC Soft & Gentle & KIKO Water Eye Shadow 208.
4. Product which gives the MOST frosty fake look: The Balm Marylou Manizer.
5. My favourite: MAC Soft & Gentle.
6. Product with the highest price tag: MAC Soft & Gentle.
7. Product with the lowest price tag: ELF Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls

Price & Availability:

• M.A.C Soft & Gentle is worth US$32.00. 
• The Balm Marylou Manizer is worth $24
• ELF Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls is worth $3
• MUA Undress Your Skin highlighter is worth £3.00
• KIKO Water Eye Shadow in 208 is worth GBP 8.90

If you're in Pakistan, you can purchase these highlighters from several different Facebook pages like Rouge,

Hash, Lush Grooming Bargains, Beauty Enhancers. If outside Pakistan, you can purchase these products from

 their respective brand websites.

What does ELF say about this product?
Create a radiant glow with this illuminating powder that highlights the skin with a sheer wash of shimmering color. Infused with Vitamin E, Jojoba, Sunflower, Apricot and Grape to nourish and hydrate the skin. The long-lasting baked shimmering color can be applied wet for a vibrant effect or dry for sheer pigmentation.

REVIEW: 

ELF baked highlighter comes in total three different shades: Moonlight Pearls, Pink Diamonds & Blush Gems. I will be reviewing ELF Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls today. 
This highlighter comes in a small black plastic pan, with a transparent lid on the top which enables the product to be seen. Does not have an in-built mirror. Contains 5g of the product. Packaging is not sturdy.
This is a light golden colored highlighter with prominent silver undertones. I wouldn't say that it is one of the most pigmented highlighters, The pigmentation is fairly moderate. However when used with a wet brush it does enhance the overall look. On my skin (NC 25-30) this highlighter gives more of metallic finish if not blended properly thus blending is the key. When blended properly it imparts a subtle glow to the face. The quantity of the product is enough to last for a very long time.
When compared with The Balm's Marylou Manizer, latter appears more peachy-bronze with gold undertones as compared to the former which has more silver undertones (Picture shown above).
I usually apply this highlighter using Real Technique's Contour Brush.

Price & Availability: I bought this product online from a Facebook page Beauty Enhancers. Worth PKR 500. Can be bought from ELF's Website here worth $3. 

Points in favour:

• Affordable price tag.
• Quantity of the product is enough to last for a very long time.
• Does not enhance facial pores & other flaws much.
• Easily blended.
• Imparts a subtle glow to the face. 

Points not in favour:

• Not very pigmented. Multiple strokes are required to bring out the colour.
• Gives more of a metallic finish if not blended properly.
• Fall out in the pan is too much. 
• Not available at the local drug stores.
• Packaging is not travel friendly.

Jo's Organic Beauty: Turmeric Mix Mask & Whitening & Rejuvenating Soaps.

(Picture Credits: Faryal Pechuho/Curls & Cookies)

What does Jo's Organic Beauty say about their products?

These are natural skincare products that gives you healthy skin & radiant glow from within.Loaded with skin loving nutrients. The ingredients in all our products are finely handpicked & 100% organic.

REVIEW: 

TURMERIC MIX (BRIGHTEN & GLOW PACK)

This Turmeric mix face pack comes in a plastic pouch. It's an off-white coloured mask in the form of powder. Comes with instructions on how to make & use the mask along with brief details about the properties of this turmeric mix mask.
Okay so the first thing is that, I am not very happy with the packaging. And it would have been so much better if it came in a plastic jar/tub instead of a plastic pouch. So the first thing I had to do was to transfer the entire product in to an empty jar. This way it was easier for me to use & work with, without creating a mess.
Preparation of this mask was easy & effortless. It forms in to a smooth paste easily unlike Jo's Organic Clay Mask, with which I had to struggle a lot to make it into a smooth paste. I usually use rose water to make this Turmeric Mix face pack although you can use yogurt or milk too.
The mask has a certain smell to it, it's like a strong turmeric like smell which can put off some although with time it settles down.
Now the results: I wouldn't agree to the claim that this mask/ face pack works as a magic. I have been using it for almost 2 months now and I haven't noticed any magical results on my face. Although I wouldn't say that this product is a complete fail but there is nothing extra-ordinary or magical about this face pack that I have noticed. It works very slowly. So the results will show up on your face gradually. It does impart a glow after regular use but it did not brighten my skin tone as it claims. Good part is that it did not cause me any break outs.

WHITENING & REJUVENATING SOAP

This pair of soap by Jo's Organic is a dark brown coloured soap. The soaps did not work up to their claim of whitening the skin at all. Although I do feel that over the time it softened my facial skin however I did not feel any whitening or brightening affects by this soap. Has a mild scent to it which isn't really bothersome. 

Price & Availability: I bought Turmeric Mix face pack & Whitening & Rejuvenating Soaps online from Jo's Organic Beauty Facebook Page. The Turmeric Mix mask was worth PKR 600. Pair of Whitening & Rejuvenating Soaps were worth PKR 300.

Points in favor:

• The quantity of the Turmeric Mix mask is enough to last you for a good three to four months.
• Price is reasonable.
• Good for all skin types.
• Did not cause any break outs.
• Can be used daily.
• Regular use of turmeric mix mask imparts a natural glow.
• Soaps are cruelty free ( not tested on animals).

Points not in favor:

• Turmeric mix mask doesn't really live up to it's claim of brightening the skin.
• Turmeric mix face pack has a strong turmeric like scent to it which can put off some.
• Whitening & Rejuvenating Soaps did not live up to it's claim of whitening. 
• Packaging of the mask is not good.

Jo's Organic Beauty: Chocolate Face Scrub.

REVIEW:

Jo's Organic Chocolate Face Scrub comes in a plastic tub. Have you ever smelled oven hot, freshly baked chocolate fudge brownies? This scrub is going to smell EXACTLY THE SAME! I have never ever loved smelling a beauty or skin care care product as much as I love smelling this Chocolate Face Scrub. It literally smells like real choco fudge brownies. And it's so tempting that trust me when I say I literally feel like tasting it! haha.
Okay so moving on to the review, I didn't like the packaging of this face scrub much since I believe it is not travel friendly. Plus I prefer tube packagings more because they lessen the amount of product wasted. 

The granules of this face scrub are not very harsh on the skin. The product is enough to last for a good three to four months. The product description says that this product is best for combination skin type which is more on the dry side but since I have combination skin type with more on the oily side I believe it works equally good for my skin too. I use it twice-thrice a week. If you have sensitive skin, do not use it more than twice weekly. 

Now the results: this scrub makes my skin SUPER soft and smooth. So much so that I don't even need to apply a moisturiser after scrubbing my face. Over the time I have noticed it makes my face glow with every use. I wouldn't really agree with the claim that it prevents blemishes and wrinkles, since I haven't noticed any instant results for my blemishes. But then again, every product needs time to work. And so I'll keep using it untill I finish the whole jar. 

I would definitely recommend this scrub to you, if you're struggling with dry flaky skin or oily skin both. This can be a very good winter product as it moisturises skin deeply and effectively. 

Price & Availability: I bought this product online from, Jo's Organic Beauty Facebook Page. Worth PKR 500.

Points in favour: 

• The quantity of the product is enough to last for a good three to four months. 
• Smells heavenly. 
• Granules of the scrub are not very harsh on the skin. 
• Good for dry as well as oily skin type. 
• Makes skin super soft & smooth. 
• Can make an amazing winter product for people struggling with extremely dry and flaky skin. 
• Price is reasonable. 

Points not in favour:

• Packaging is not travel friendly.
• Not available at local drug stores. Can only be bought online.

REVIEW:

This clay mask comes in a plastic pouch, containing about 100gms of the product. It's a gray coloured mask in the form of powder. Comes with instructions on how to make & use the mask along with brief details about the properties of this clay mask.
Okay so the first thing is that, I am not very happy with the packaging. And it would have been so much better if it came in a plastic jar/tub instead of a plastic pouch. So the first thing I had to do was to transfer the entire product in to an empty jar. This way it was easier for me to use & work with, without creating a mess. 
One thing which I have noticed while preparing this mask is that for some unknown reasons the clay mask doesn't blend in to a proper paste like form, no matter how much water quantity I adjust, it always & always ends up with those clay lumps and they are very difficult for me to work with. I usually use Rose water to make this mask but have also used tap water. And in both the cases, it just doesn't make in to a good, thick paste. 
Now the results: I'm extremely amazed by the results of this mask! I honestly never thought it would work much for me as a lot of local masks do not work for me. But this one has to be different definitely. The moment I took off the mask and washed my face, voila! My face looked so bright & clearer than before. It looked very clean. I closely looked for my blackheads and I was shocked to see that it did work to remove them to some extent too. I wouldn't say that all my blackheads were gone but yes it cleared up a lot of them! So this mask basically draws out all the dirt and impurities from the pores thus making my face look cleaner than before. 
I would definitely recommend this mask to you, if you're someone who is struggling with a lot of blackheads & some acne since it does reduce acne over the time too. I get occasional zits & pimples and so far this mask has worked by resolving my acne issue. Although I'm not sure about how good this will work for all-year round acne prone skin. But this definitely is worth a try in my opinion!
I use this mask once weekly. The mask dries up on my face pretty quickly, within ten to fifteen minutes. Easily removed with water.


Price & Availability: I bought this mask online, from Jo's Organic Beauty Facebook Page. Worth PKR 500 for 100gms.

Points in favour:

• The quantity of the clay mask is enough to last you for two to three months.
• The mask works pretty efficiently in clearing out all the dirt & impurities from the pores, making face appear clearer and cleaner than before. 
• Works for my occasional zits & pimples by resolving them. 
• Price is super reasonable.
• Makes a good home based weekly cleansing & detoxifying mask
• Good for all skin types, particularly combination to oily skin type.

Points not in favour:

• Packaging is not at all good.
• Not available at local drug stores. Can only be bought online.
• The mask doesn't blend in to a good thick paste for some reason. And always end up with a few thick clay lumps.

Makeup Revolution: Redemption Palette Iconic 2 (Review+Swatches).

What does Makeup Revolution claim about this product?

THE ultimate 
palettes with ultra high payoff.

A perfect mix of pearl, shimmer & matte shades. Totally collectable and a pure sellout!

REVIEW:

I will start off with a brief introduction to the brand. Makeup Revolution is a newly launched (March, 2014) London, UK cosmetic brand. It is basically a drug store brand which opened it's doors in Pakistan recently. And currently is only available at Just4Girls.Pk. 

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 2 has a total of 12 shades in it as you can appreciate in the picture above. The shades are not named or even numbered.

Comes in a plastic pan with a transparent lid. Packaging is not very sturdy and thus not travel friendly. It comes with a double ended sponge applicator for the purpose of application of the eye shades. 

This palette contains all earthy, neutral colors. From browns to nude to black, all in one palette. Starting off with the pigmentation, the colors are fairly pigmented. I wouldn't really say that they are packed with pigmentation. When applied without an eye primer/base they are fairly pigmented and when applied over an eye primer/base they appear slightly more pigmented. There's not much of the fall out in the pan to be honest. There is some fall out though, but considering the price this palette comes in and the other pros I think I can let that part go.

This palette consists of both matte as well as shimmer shades. Shades 1,5 & 12 (from L to R) are the only matte ones and the rest are all shimmery. This is a bit of a turn off for me since I am not someone who would like to wear shimmery eyes most of the times. So this might not be your to-go palette for a day time look. Although this is my current-to-go palette for an evening, night-out look. 

One thing I would want to mention here is that this palette is said to be the dupe for the famous Urban Decay Naked Palette 2! But since I don't own the latter, I can't really compare the two. 

Price & Availability: 

Currently you can only find Makeup Revolution products online on Just4girls.pk (If you live in Pakistan). If in any other part of the world, you may get the palette online from Makeup Revolution's Website here. This palette is worth PKR 950 or £4.00.

Points in favour:

• Budget friendly. 
• Contains all neutral, earthy colors which can create variety of different eye looks.
• Fairly pigmented. 
• Slightly more pigmented when applied over an eye primer/base.
• Longevity is fairly good when applied with an eye primer.
• Comes with a double-ended sponge applicator.
• Amazing for people who love shimmery eye looks more.

Points not in favour:

• Not available at local drug stores across Pakistan.
• Packaging is not travel friendly in my opinion.
• Has only three matte shades. Rest all are shimmer shades.
• There is moderate amount of fall out in the pan, which can make the pan all messy.
