MAC Select SPF 15 Moistureblend Foundation - Review
What it is:
Its a creamy compact foundation blending a radiant natural-satin medium-to-build able coverage with a silky feel. Skin pampering and conditioning: delivers moisture, provides everyday UVA/UVB and anti-oxidant protection, while micro-fine light-diffusing filters soften the appearance of fine lines. Provides dry skins with a smooth, high-comfort, moisture finish: original M·A·C fans will love it.
How to use: Apply with 190 Foundation Brush or Sponge.
Info source

Price: 3200-3500 rs approx/-
Yonno , i got dry skin ? no? then i am sure you haven't browsed through my previous posts. Its full of rants. :)
I bought this foundation, when i read on MAC , that M·A·C Select Moisture blend SPF 15 Foundation Provides dry skins with a smooth, high-comfort, moisture finish.
I repeat , its more suitable for dry skin because this is a hydrating, thick, moisturizing foundation.The main ingredients in this mu is sunflower seed oil, so it does smell a little like it. Nothing annoying, in fact i like the smell.
I have it in shade NC30.
M·A·C Select Moisture blend SPF 15 Foundation is very smooth and looks dewy on the face.
The foundation compact can be divided in to three sections
1-comes with a mirror
2-Foundation
3-and separate compartment for the sponge underneath
I prefer using my ELF powder brush when i am using this foundation,sometimes i use my coastal scents foundation brush, I avoid sponge because it just swipes the foundation off the face and i am not very good with the sponge application.I first purchased it in winters , when i asked my brother to get it fro me from London. I love it because it provides medium coverage and won't extenuate patches and dryness on my face. I used it in winters all the time.It was my HG foundation.
Is M·A·C Select Moisture blend SPF 15 Foundation being discontinued? I am not sure as i only saw one shade on http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk website and couldn't find it on http://www.maccosmetics.comI was so glad when i found that its now available in Pakistan too. So i had to repurchase it.
It also has the SPF 15, better than nothing when your in a hurry or lazy bum like me ;)
When i first started using it i felt that it kind of feels like you have a sticky layer on your face. But with time 1- either i got the trick of applying it correctly
or 2- my face got used to it.
Over all It tends to get greasy a bit so if you have oily skin or hate greasy feeling ,or needs more coverage , it might not be your piece of cake.
For me,M·A·C Select Moisture blend SPF 15 Foundation is light and comfortable, even while it gives good light to medium coverage.
Do you have any favorite M.A.C Foundation?

Artdeco Camouflage Cream-Review
ArtDeco is a German brand,They have wide variety of colors, eyeshadows and blushers which can be bought alone or combined in refillable beauty boxes.
Artdeco Camouflage Cream
Information taken from Artdeco site
What it is:
Waterproof cover cream for every skin type to cover red veins, pigmented moles, port-wine stains, tattoos, etc.
What does it do:
Camouflage Cream covers flaws in the skin perfectly and reliably and is ideal for special occasions, like photographic- or bridal make-up. All colors can be mixed with each other which means the skin color can be matched exactly. The Camouflage Cream is also an ideal long-term make-up and lasts well even if the surrounding temperature is high. The cover can be light or heavy – depending on the amount applied and gets waterproof after fixing powder has been applied. It is very practical because Camouflage Creams are available separately, can be combined individually in the refillable magnetic box and those that have been used up can be replaced.
How to Use:
After moisturizing, remove a little Camouflage with a spatula, mix or soften on the back of the hand. Then apply thinly and evenly, using a slightly moistened latex sponge, and blend in at edges. You neutralize redness with green Camouflage and lighten dark areas and bluish shadows with yellow shades. If necessary, mix two color shades together.
Shades:
Okay this review is all gonna be rave ! rave ! and rave. Why? because what an awesome creamy concealer this is? AHAMMAZING.
I love this concealer. It gives excellent coverage, Its waterproof , its creamy and it does stays put,not at all cakey, non-irritating for my sensitive skin, comes in a wide range of colors and is only Rs 600/- Yes youheard read it correctly

There are only one thing though that people might not like about the Art deco Camouflage Cream Concealer. It’s small,Really tiny, almost size of my thumb . But this isn’t a huge problem since as a little goes a long way.So you would need a little for perfect coverage.
But again this con , could be a plus point as it small and so easy to carry around :)
I bought it from Alfatah DHA, Lahore, which had this last piece. But when next day i visited ENEM store liberty market Lahore, they had more shade options. So do check it out.
Glossicious highly recommends this Concealer.
A big shout out to Stavroula Plag from http://drugstoreandbargainlover.blogspot.com for introducing me to Artdeco Camouflage Cream. It was her blog where i first saw the reviews on it.
I will buy the magnet Box next time ,
You buy an empty box palette, then add the eyeshadows, blushers, concealers, foundation of your own choice. I will get few eyeshadows and blush. I have my eyes on golden rusty brown,pearly smokey golden olive, aubergine ,matt smokey red mauve ,glam beige rose , and a raspberry blush.
Art deco Blush cosst around RS 750 and eyeshadow single costs like rs 450/-

I am gonna share my experience with three of Liz Earle products i received almost a month ago.
First is cult favorite
What It is?
The original, multi award-winning, concentrated cleanser. Used with the pure muslin cloth, it quickly removes everyday grime and make-up, including stubborn mascara, to leave all skin types soft and smooth. Radiance boosting and packed with naturally active ingredients, try this best-selling cult classic today.

Texture:
Its thick white cream , but applies to the face with ease, it also smells amazing.
I was sent this by the Liz Earle, along with the Instant Skin Boost Tonic from the range, so I’ve been using both products together,This product feels amazing on the skin and makes cleansing and removing make up super easy.
I also liked the muslin cloth, i used it couple of times, washed it and later i bought pure muslon cloth from market and i use that instead , it felt weird using same muslin cloth over and over again.Overall the cleanser cleans well and leaves your skin soft and radiant. Since this is a cream cleanser, it leaves my skin soft and hydrated,which is big plus for my dry skin. I like it better with the muslin cloth , because it exfoliate as i wash away the creamy cleanser. Together, Match made in heaven.
I Follow my cleansing with the Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Your favorite Liz Earle moisturizing cream which is so far my favourite. It smells so clean and fresh.
What it is?
Rich in natural actives including borage (a potent source of the skin conditioning fatty acid GLA), avocado plus echinacea and antioxidant natural source vitamin E to help replace lost moisture in dry/sensitive skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
What does it do?
Avocado oil, borage oil and echinacea help strengthen and natural-source vitamin E help protect to ensure total daily care for your skin.
Carefully balanced for dry/sensitive skin types to both hydrate and protect face and neck, day and night.Use after cleansing and toning to create the perfect base for make up.
How to Use?
Gently massage Skin Repair Moisturiser into face and neck morning and night after Instant Boost Skin Tonic.
Texture:
Thick and very creamy
Okay have you ever used Mustard Oil (Urdu /Hindi sarson ka tel) ???, that's what this cream smells of after 10-15 mins of application,it doesn't have a strong scent at all but its still there. It does make your skin hydrated , bit greasy and soft to the touch. I am really happy with the result and now i am thinking of saving this cream for winter months when my skin can get very dry .
You can get this product in 2 types - Normal/Combination or Dry/Sensitive
What it is:?
A highly concentrated clay and botanical mask that draws out impurities and excess oil, leaving your skin looking clean and clear. Specially formulated for combination, oily or problem skin. Not suitable for sensitive skin.

How to use:
Apply after cleansing skin.
Smooth a generous layer of the mask over face and neck, avoiding eyes, lips and hairline. Leave on for 5 - 10 minutes.Wipe away residue with thoroughly rinsed sponges. Splash face with cool water. Use as often as needed: either as an all over face treatment, or to target specific blemishes or problem areas.For best results follow with Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Skin Repair moisturizer.

Texture:
A dark grey-ish brown colour,Creamy yet light, bit runny.
This is a good mask for problem skin.I have dry skin , but it gets oily(esp T zone) in summers,so its a good mask for me in this case. I get breakouts or pimples sometimes, nothing major , so i use this mask once in ten days or week, its quite runny ,i apply it all over my face , let it dry for 10-15 mins and rinse off. I noticed the difference right away , as skin was more fresh and felt so clean.Thought i felt tingling sensation for few seconds every time i applied.
Over all , i am imprresed with all the products i have used, I'm seeing an improvement day on day and am confident that things will continue to improve over time.
You can purchase these and other Liz Earle products from http://uk.lizearle.com/
Have you used any of these products?
I would love to know :)

Photoshop gone bad- and Gollum Quot
My eyes ! My eyes !

This is one of Mahin Hussain's Bag collection's photo, I do like the clutch BUT
instead of concentrating on bag , why i am staring at the small body , big head, giant hands and tiny arms?
Don't they remind you of someone?
Why i feel scared? it reminds me of Gollum Quot from Lord Of The Rings
see hands and arms below
And i don't understand why she is hanging in the air OR sitting in the air?? Really?!

Coastal Scents Gel Liner- True Black Review
Coastal Scents Gel Liner- True Black
Shades Available : 25 rich in color Gel Liners are now available at Coastal Scents.
Price: $6.95
So i read this liner worked exactly the same as MAC’s Blacktrack fluidline except it is an even truer black. I don't own MAC version so i really cant compare.
It goes on very smoothly and a little goes a long way.Its quite Pigmented with Matte finish .:) I usually wait a little while for the first layer of liner to dry and then apply the second one, other wise you can streak or smudge the first layer and easy to remove with make-up remove.The staying power of Coastal Scents gel liner true black is as good as my other gel liners.It does not smudge . Its not the creamiest gel liner i have used.
I don't know its me or does this gel liner flakes a little?However, it does flake a little more compared to my ELF cream liner and Pop beauty hot pot liner( Review coming soon) .
I love using it as makeup base and it is really amazing as a base.
When it came it was all creamy , but now i feel its drying. really like gel liner, but unfortunately coastal scents true black dried up quickly. I dont know if my gel liner post was faulty or Coastal Scents Gel Liner is supposed to be this way?
Comparison between Elf cream liner and Coastal Scents Gel Liner
Do you see the dry flakes in Coastal Scents Gel Liner?
Overall, I think this gel liner is great! I'd definitely get more colors in future for eyeshadow base purposes But not as eye liner as i like my other black gel eyeliners better.
You can buy Coastal Scents gel liners from Coastal Scents website and also its available at Makeup Mix shop for discounted price these days $5.91( original $6.95 )
For Pakistani Readers:Pakistani girls you can buy it from Coastal Scents website as they deliver to Pakistan among other shipping options , this is the cheapest one :only pay USPS First-Class Mail International - $2.23
Which one of Coastal Scents Gel Liner shade is your favorite? Have you tried any already? what are your thoughts?

Korres Colour Mandarin Lip Butter Sticks SPF 15 Review , Photos & Swatches
You must be aware of my love for Korres Lip butters , i am having a love affair with my korres lip butterand i knew nothing could come between us
*UNTIL*
Korres Colour Mandarin Lip Butter Sticks SPF 15 came into my life.
Korres Colour Mandarin Lip Butter Sticks SPF 15 are one of Korres's newly launched products. You can imagine my joy and surprise when i saw them in mail few days earlier.
*Cuteness*
Lip butter that instantly hydrates and softens the lips. Shea butter and Sunflower wax deeply nourish and offer long-lasting care, while Mandarin oil conditions dry lips. Ideal for chapped lips.
Moisturising lip butter stick by Korres contains shea butter and sunflower wax with SPF 15
Ingredients :
mandarin oil: refreshing, soothing shea butter wax: moisturising sunflower wax: anti-oxidant castor oil: nourishing, emolient vitamin e:anti-oxidant.
Shades/Color : New Korres Colour Mandarin Lip Butter come in 6 different colours
- Peach,
- Pink,
- Purple,
- Rose ,
- colorless with SPF 15
- and lastly colorless.
I have them in Rose and Colorless with SPF 15
As you can see , that colorless is not quite colorless, it tends to leave a white caste on the lips, makes sort of frosty looking lips.so its recommended to use a little and then spread it well using finger or lip brush or any method you fancy ( i use fingers) before applying more.This way it leaves a hint of nude / bare lips instead of ghostly white ones.If you don't apply it carefully as i already warned you , you can shock your friends or family , in my case my brother was speechless for 2 mins and then he started making fun of me.Boys?, eh!
But on the contrary , Rose is a uber pretty color, I have swatched it lightly , its bit darker in real.It smells so beautiful and looks stunning .
Korres Colour Mandarin Lip Butter Sticks are so soft to be applied smoothly on the lips and Oh so smooth. They are indeed moisturizing more moisturizing than my favorite lip butter, and they give healthy shiny finish, not glossy.
Best part that it's a hard lip butter stick , because when i got it i was delighted to see , that it didn't melt in the tube, Remember my Illasmaqua products melt down tragedy, i am still recovering from that. So if you can tolerate Pakistan's heat , you are Glossicious approved.
Smell: Not quite Mandarin( Kinno in Urdu) which is more of citrus-y but Rose one has pretty sweet floral smell with hint of shea butter, and colorless one surprisingly smells more of shea butter /cocoa butter though both have only little hint of smell, nothing strong.
Packaging: sturdy, the twisting mechanism works fine with out any hassle.Nothing fancy but minimal decor.You can buy Korres Colour Mandarin Lip Butter Sticks from Korres website and Asos
Price: £6.50 /7.50 Euro
Please let me know if you've tried any :)
Disclaimer: Products were provided by the Company /PR and I am not paid to endorse this product.My opinion are honest as always.
