Hello dolls,

I am reviewing elf contouring blush and bronzer cream in st.Lucia today. I love elf cosmetics because most of their products are of very good quality and are really cheap, thanks to many facebook pages ,we can easily get elf products in Pakistan at very reasonable prices. Lets talk about elf contouring blush and bronzer now.

The packaging,

This comes in a very sleek and simple packaging, the pan is made of very basic black plastic and it comes with a big mirror which I absolutely love.

What the product says:

Ideal for all skin types, this dual cream bronzer and blush creates a sheer, natural wash of color on the skin. The lightweight cream-to-powder formula provides extended wear and allows you to layer for desired intensity. Sculpt eyes, cheeks, lips, body and anywhere you wish to highlight and contour with the rich cream formula.

My views:

to be honest ,I have never felt comfortable using cream blushes or bronzers as I lean more towards powder products, which are easier to apply and blend. This cream blush landed in my makeup stash just because the facebook seller sent it to me instead of st lucia in powder form so I thought to try this unwillingly.

First of all this blush and bronzing cream is highly pigmented ,you use a little product on sponge or brush to apply and then you can blend it out even with fingers .It stays for 4/5 hours on face if its not too hot and it can be set with powder to stay put for more time. The color of the bronzing cream is a very universal brown shade which can suit most complexions easily and the blush shade is a coral orange shade which is very flattering as well as natural.Overall I am satisfied with this bronzing and blush duo,Its very easy to carry around in your bag because its compact is very slim and it will go a long way as it comes in sufficient quantity.

Hello my loves, I hope you are all doing great. Today I am reviewing The Body Shop's chocomania body butter's deluxe edition. In winters our skin becomes dehydrated and dry due to cold weather and its necessary to properly moisturize skin with body lotions and body butters in cold weather.
I have really dry skin even in summer so my skin becomes irritatingly dry in the winters, I have to keep my skin moisturized all the time or it become too flaky and dry to handle. I bought The Body Shop's chocomania body butter deluxe edition a few months back, let us talk about if it helped me or not.

The packaging:
This body butter comes in a dark brown round plastic tub with a twist up cap ,its small in size and easy to carry around while travelling.

My views:

The Body Shop chocomaina body butter has 13 community fair trade ingredients like soya beans, Brazil nut, sugar cane, cocoa beans, coconut, olive, shea nuts and so much more. It is extremely thick in texture and absorbs in skin completely without leaving any greasiness behind. I love the fact that this body butter is excellent for extra dry skin and keeps skin hydrated and soft for the longest hours. This body butter smells like bitter chocolate to my nose and you will find it delicious if you are a chocolate lover. Overall its a great product to keep skin supple and soft in winter season and I'll keep buying Body Shop's body butters for my super dry skin especially for winters.

Pros:

extremely hydrating
buttery smooth texture
not greasy or oily
smells delicious
absorbs quickly

Cons:

may not be suitable in summers
expensive in our country

My views:
I received three goddess pencils from eye of horus cosmetics for review. These pencils are two sided , the sponge tip can be used to smudge the lines if you want to go for a soft look. You have to smudge the color pretty fast after applying or it stays put where it is if it dries completely. It is unbelievable that the color of these pencils is unmovable under running water or in shower but these can be removed easily with a wet wipe or makeup removing wipe.
These pencils are super creamy and highly pigmented. The color payoff is amazing. I am personally in love with these pencil. You can use these pencils as eyeliners or eyeshadows.
Teal and bronze pencils have tiny shimmer particles and I absolutely love the stunning colors. These pencils have to be sharpened with a pencil sharpener which you can buy from eye of horus cosmetics website.

Highly pigmented

creamy formula
paraben free
smudge proof

Hello beauties,Today I am here with a new review. I am talking about a blush from Character cosmetics which is a brand we easily find in U.A.E.

About the brand:

Character Skin ! Character Shade ! Character Attitude !

With over 20 years in the cosmetics industry , Character-Cosmetics have built a loyal customer following around the world.

Character-Cosmetics understand skin tones of women from different countries, nationalities and styles, catering from fair to dark and everyone in between.

My review:

I bought one blush from character cosmetics while shopping in a mall,you can find Character kiosks in many malls in uae. This blush is available in ten shades, I wanted to buy a pink matte blush and I thought to try this blush ,I chose the color but I think the sales person gave me a darker pink shade by mistake which I failed to notice as I was very busy selecting products for my friend also, any ways I have never worn such a bright pink blush before so I was kind of disappointed.

The blush has a round black packaging which is quite sturdy.This blush has almost matte formula and it comes with a small brush and mirror in the below compartment,the size of this blush is quite big and it is intensely pigmented, i just lightly swipe my brush to pick up some product ,if applied heavy it will look clown-like for sure. The staying power of this blush is amazing. I swatched some colored eyeliner pencils from this brand and the pigmentation and longevity is excellent. Overall its a nice blush , stays on the face for many hours, I use it as eyeshadow also and I ll try a lighter shade from this line next time.

price and availabilty:

Price is 40 dhs, available at character counters in U.a.e.

Ratings:
4/5

Pros:

sturdy packaging
big size
matte finish
high color pay off
great staying power
blend able
comes with a mirror

Cons:

brush is average
a little overpriced

Hi dears,
Today I am sharing my views on Rimmel lip balm. This keep calm lip balm range is really cute, it comes in different colors and kind of looks like baby lips lip balm.

The packaging:

The packaging is very colorful and the cap stays in place ,so you can carry it around in your bag.

What they say:
Enriched formula with moisturizing oils that calm, soften and protect lips for hours
Instantly increases lip moisture by 22%*

My Thoughts:
Rimmel keep calm lip balm is available in 5 shades, clear, pink blush,berry blush, rose blush and violet blush. I chose berry blush because its a prominent pink shade and I really like this kind of pinks. Rimmel keep calm and rock lip balm is not only a treat for eyes because of its funky colorful design but its really good too. I have very dry lips and I always keep one lip balm in my bag and one under my pillow and I apply lip balm on my lips like crazy to be honest. So running out of lip balm is a nightmare for me. I usually buy Nivea and Labello lip balms but now I really liked this one by Rimmel.This lip balm is a beautiful pink shade and if you built it up,it almost looks like a lipstick, I love how moisturizing this lip balm is and its non sticky and has very nice berry smell which is really pleasing.It keeps my dry lips soft and hydrated though i have to reapply often. I love this product so much overall and I'll definitely repurchase this. It is very similar maybeline baby lips and you will like it if you are a fan of baby lips.
