Makeup Support Skin Perfecting System Try Me Tote - Review

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Friday, October 29, 2010 3 comments

I received a rather lovely package from Aesthetic Artistry. It was a Starting over tote . 
Create a perfect canvas for beautiful makeup every time - an ultra-smooth, poreless surface for makeup that stays fresh throughout the day. This simple system preps and perfects your skin in just seconds, delivering an ultra-smooth, seemingly poreless com

The kit contains ,
Cleanse :
  • Instant Eye makeup dissolving Fluid
Prep :
  • Equalizing Serum
  • AHA/vitamin C eye cremeGel
  • Perfect skin line diffusing emulsion
Set and Revive :
  • Herbal vitamin mist
I have been using some of the products and i think i am ready to share my thoughts.



Purlieu2 Instant Eye Makeup Dissolving Fluid
 

What it is
Gently wipe away every trace of eye makeup in seconds with this fast-acting, oil-free formula strengthened with natural cleansers from the succulent desert Yucca tree. Hydrating Algae and calming Plant extracts soothe the sensitive eye area, leaving it comfortably hydrated without an oily afterfeel. 

This formula does not contain oils, sulfates, synthetic colorants, synthetic fragrance or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives

 This is such a good makeup remover. I usually shake the bottle, open the lid and soak the cotton ball in it, and it removes eye makeup so easily. It doesn't give me panda eyes and No rubbing hard.
It won't leave a greasy feeling behind, and what i loved most is that it doesn't irritate or sting my very sensitive skin and eyes. I like my eye makeup removers to be gentle and with no weird chemical smell , i am a faithful user of  Rimmel Gentle Eye Make Up Remover. But i have started to like this baby too.

Benefits:
  • Dissolves even the most stubborn eye makeup in seconds
  • Gentle enough for sensitive skin
  • Won’t leave eye area feeling oily
  • Can apply makeup immediately after cleansing eye area
  • Fragrance-Free. Oil-Free. Ophthalmologist-Approved. Safe with contact lenses.
      
    Purlieu2 AHA Vitamin C Eye CremeGel
The hyberation of a gel, the luxurious richness of a cream, this advanced cremeGel formula delivers both. Plus Vitamin C & E and AHAs in cell-targeted liposomes.Diminishes the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and discourages formation if lines in future .Green tea and licorice soothe.
It is suitable For Dry, Mature, Sun Damaged, AHA-Treated Skin Types.
What it does: Neutralizes the aging effects of sun and the environment. Diminishes appearance of fine lines around eyes and discourages the formation of lines in the future. 

Its an Oil free, fragrance free and sensitivity tested.Its Ophthalmologist approved for use around eyes

I am in my late 20s and i think its the right time to start with Anti aging products  ,Anti aging are everywhere nowadays.I believe one should absolutely think about taking measures to prevent wrinkles when you're in your 20s.One of the first areas to show signs of aging, the skin around the eyes needs extra hydration even if the rest of your face doesn't.
I have sensitive and dry skin when i started using this, so i has to be careful , i started slow. It didnt stink or irritate my skin infact ut has this pleasant cooling effect.. Refreshing. It has a light texture which absorbs quickly. I dont use it daily , but i use this 2-3 times a week
however, effects of each anti-wrinkle cream vary,for some people it even takes more than 1 year or few weeks to see effects. I am still using it so i will let you know if i see any results.

AHA Vitamin C Eye CremeGel has quite alot of benefits including few below

  • Visibly smoothes fine lines and other signs of sun damage
  • Helps re-firm aging skin above and below eyes
  • Instantly hydrates to reduce crepiness due to dryness
  • Helps prevent new lines from forming, slows loss of firmness
  • Begins working immediately - effects improve dail
Purlieu2 Perfect skin line diffusing emulsion

What it is ? Instantly perfect skin's texture, visibly often the edges of harsh lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, and mute reddened skin tones (even the redness of rosacea), with this fast acting, age-hiding formula.

What does it do ?Revolutionary soft-light diffusion technology makes it possible: Three Dimensional Holographic Molecules reflect light away from skin, giving a radiant smoothness to even the roughest surface; optic micro-lenses soften harsh skin tones, visibly muting uneven color, redness and other discolorations. Skin looks as if it is being viewed through a camera's soft-focus lens.

So if i have summon it in one word, i would go for "Primer(?)". I got the Travel Size Squeeze Bottle, which is perfect for someone like me who is traveling like every month , and you only need a little.You only need a medium size pearl over moisturizer and sunscreen. I usually moisturize my face and apply it all over and wait for few mins to let it sink in , before applying foundation.If you want ultra-smoothness, apply over Equalizing Serum (allow serum to absorb before applying Perfect Skin Line-Diffusing Dmulsion).

Tip: Mix one pearl of Perfect Skin Line-Diffusing Emulsion into sunscreen to reduce shine


Purlieu2 Herbal vitamin mist

I've wanted a facial mist from quite some time, we dont have  MAC's Fix+ available in pakistan but wanted a cheaper alternative, so when I was sent this Purlieu2 Herbal vitamin mist , i was quite delighted.

Benefits of Purlieu2 Herbal vitamin mist:
  • Refreshes and cools instantly
  • Comforts dry skin on contact
  • Reactivates moisturizers within seconds
  • Hydrates dry hair; revitalizes natural curl
  • Sets and revives makeup throughout the day
  • Take anywhere dryness is a problem: sports, travel, in the car, in the office
Pakistani weather is mostly hot and humid for 8-9 month out of 12. Sometimes its good to have a Vitamin mist in handy for quick touch ups. Its doesnt only works for makeup but also works well with hair .Sometimes when i was in hurry and i wanted a extra boost after applying foundation , l, I just spray it on and it makes it look so much more natural and fresh.
 Suggested Use:                                                        
Close eyes. Press mist pump firmly 1-3 times over face or hair.
Facial Procedure: Spray Herbal Vitamin Mist over skin after cleansing, extraction and masque removal.
Makeup Procedure: Spray evenly over skin, whenever dry, flaky patches and signs of uneven makeup application are visible. Sets make up – mist over makeup to revive color throughout the day.
For Dry Hair: Spray to refresh and moisturize dry hair and revive natural curl.

I also experimented it with my eyeshadow , I sprayed it on  my makeup brushes and it gives eyeshadow a beautiful foiled look.I kept it in my fridge as it still quite warm in Pakistan.
It smells herb-ally , which is quite refreshing  and the mist is super fine.

Over all i am very pleased with the products i have tried so far. They were unique and effective. Excellent for all skin types, however, particularly recommended for people with the following skin care challenges: puffy eyes, large pores, dry/mature skin, red uneven tone, dehydrated skin.
Try me tote includes:
(1) - 1 fl oz - Instant Eye Makeup Dissolving Fluid;
(1) - 0.25 fl oz - Equalizing Serum;
(1) - 0.25 fl oz - Perfect Skin Line Diffusing Emulsion;
(1) - 1 fl oz - Herbal Vitamin Mist;

The wedding season is in full swing with all its excitement, beauty tips and pleasure. Girls got so much indulged in the midst of all the marriage related activities that they hardly give time to adopt important beauty tips and beneficial bridal beauty tips that can do wonders in their bridal look. If you really want to look good and fresh on your wedding day, these bridal beauty tips are essential for you.
When it comes to bride and bridal beauty tips, most of us only focus on the Wedding and Walima day, when we thought makeup and beauty tips will cover all our spots, dark circles and dull skin. However, girls forget the importance of early marriage days, when these beauty tips will actually work for them to make their skin look fresh and healthy.
Wedding day is not the only day when you have to look beautiful by using these beauty tips. In fact, by these easy beauty tips you will feel difference in your skin texture and freshness. The most important amongst all bridal beauty tips is to drink a lot of water minimum before two months before your wedding. By following this beauty tips, you will maintain the hydration of your skin, keeping it supple and soft.
Drinking minimum 10 glasses of water every day is among best beauty tips to control your stress level that you will be experiencing as the wedding date will be coming near. No beauty tips and treatment will work for you if your skin is not hydrated properly.
To attain a healthy glowing skin on your wedding, the best amongst the bridal beauty tips is the three steps procedure, which all of the girls can easy follow. These three steps are:
  • Cleansing
  • Toning
  • Moisturizing

Cleansing is the most important and vital among the beauty tips, as without cleansing any expensive cream or mask will do no good to your skin. Before 2 months of your wedding, try these easy beauty tips to make it a routine to cleanse your face with a non-alcoholic cleanser every morning and before going to bed. By adopting our beauty tips you will definitely feel the difference in your face and skin, as cleansing will remove all the dirt and excessive oils that are harmful for your skin.
Toning is the next step to attain the benefits of our bridal beauty tips. After cleaning your face, dip a cotton ball in a non-alcoholic toner and apply it all over your face and neck. If you cannot buy toner to follow these beauty tips, you can achieve same effects by using rose water.
After toning, the third part of our beauty tips is to moisturize your skin with some good brand crème that suits your skin type.
Along with these bridal beauty tips, always wear sunblock SPF 15 or SPF 30, 20 mins before going out for shopping. You will find these little and easy beauty tips
more than beneficial from expensive beauty salons treatments.

Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo and Conditioner- Review

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Thursday, October 21, 2010 2 comments
I have been experimenting with my hair care products since so many years, I had really long hair ,when i say long , i mean Black, thick , naturally straight long hair , But as soon as i was in college i got them chopped i was so impressed with rani mukeerjee's hair style in kuch kuch hota hai, Not that they didnt suit me, i looked nice but i still regret getting them so short . Big mistake ! I was in living in my college dorm house, 10 hours drive away from my mom, so i didnt take care of them as much as i should had,i dyed them crazily , i got highlights, sometimes low lights, sometimes dyed them red, sometimes purple, i went crazy
Result : Thin , weak hair
I have now long hair, i guess they reach my waist, They are still shiny, silky and straight but not as thick as they used to be. I have has hair fall problem last year so i am very carefull with my hair products now. meaning no straighteners , no harsh chemicals and no more experimenting. 




I was really excited when i got  Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo  and Botanical Shine Conditionerfor dry or damaged hair   in mail a month ago.

If you read a lot of beauty blogs, you'll have probably have read reviews on the new Liz Earle Botanical Shine shampoo and conditioners.As most of you know I am a fan of Liz Earle skin care range so was very excited to try her new haircare range. 



So shall we start with the review?


First the Packaging - Liz Earle hair care range comes in big squeeze-y  tubes , which contain (200ml of product in each) . These tubes are easy to user when you are taking a shower or bath ,  and the amount of product which comes from the tube is appropriate, but as i have bit long hair so i have to squeeze at least twice to get desired amount.

Both of these products have very unique and beautiful smell, & I do love the scent 
The smell can be described as authentically herbal, The shampoo has bit more of smell then  the conditioner , it has refreshing scent of Orange Citrus. if i have to describe the smell in one word, it is : comforting

 now the texture , the shampoo has a clear gel  consistency , which lathers well keeping in mind that it is SLS/SLES-free / silicone-free . and conditioner is more like a thick cream.

Final say : I have to admit that i love Botanical Shine Conditionerfor dry or damaged hair more than the shampoo, i feel that shampoo used alone made my hair bit dry , and but when these two are used together , than this gives the most perfect shiny , straight dangle free hair ever + smell great together. They give my hair a fresh smell, leaves my hair clean, soft, shiny.The range has one shampoo that should suit everyone and then three conditioners, for Normal, dry and oily hair.I am impressed with the amount of lather considering it is SLS and SLES free product.
So i would  for sure recommend the duo , yes duo. Because i would re purchase the duo if possible.


Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo costs a surprisingly reasonable £7.50 for 200ml, from the Liz Earle online shop or other stockists.


Will you be trying the Liz Earle haircare range?

Spa skincare brand Bliss has launched Bliss Eau de Toilette, The  scent as an “uplifting, unique floral” with
  • top notes: bergamot, dewy greens, cucumber
  • mid notes: lily, ylang ylang
  • base note: violet
 Here are a few more details .
This “in-spa-rational” fragrance captures the essence of Bliss spas: the best possible feeling in the world. It’s a mood-boosting fragrance with a vibe that’s fresh, hip, and modern. This scent is light enough to spritz every day for a signature fragrance—but exceptional enough to wear on special occasions.
Bliss Spa began with a simple mission: to deliver the best possible feeling in the world. This signature ‘scent’-iment—which literally permeates our spas—inspired our eponymous eau de toilette. A fresh, mood-boosting medley of vibrant bergamot, dewy cucumber, and bright florals like lily, ylang ylang and violet, this unique blend is light enough to be your signature spritz—but exceptional enough to wear on special occasions. In simple speak, it’s our spa in a bottle.

L’Oréal True Match foundation - Review

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Sunday, October 17, 2010 11 comments


 In true-to-skin shades across warm, cool and neutral tones, True Match liquid foundation perfectly matches the colour and texture of your skin, hiding imperfections with its micro-fine, creamy texture.

The result: natural looking, skin-true colour, outstanding coverage with no caking.


I first  bought L’Oréal True Match foundation almost 3 year ago, i was using Revlon color stay back then but i hated it and threw it away , when all i knew about makeup was foundation and lipstick. I had no idea that foundation can have different types of formulas or coverages.I always thought foundation only comes in few shades,until i was roaming around in HKB ,dha one day and i was looking for a foundation because i had to go to an afternoon wedding straight from work. I swatched it ,( i wasn't even aware of word"swatching":) and i was like "wow" the shade is perfect. I was sold. I bought shade Nude Beige.
I loved the shade, it was shade made in heaven for me.But one of cousin was getting married and she loved it so much ,she asked me get one bottle for her but when i visited HKB after 6-8 months to purchase same foundation for me as i gave away mine to my cousin as she loved it so much, there was NO L’Oréal products available. This foundation wasn't even available at Alfatah. I was shocked.
But i got shade Rose Amber from color collection DHA few months ago, it was tad bit darker but i got it for myself .

I was reading Skin Deco's Post on same foundation and i came across this info that L'Oreal has shade-matching system for various skin tones where G (Gold) is for warm, R (Rose) is for cool, and N (Neutral) is for neither warm or cool. 

Swatch -Rose Amber
 Loreal True Match Foundation doesn’t feel heavy unlike other liquid foundations. The coverage is light - medium but its build able and to be honest it loved the coverage back then. My skin wasn't suffering so much and all i needed was 1 or 2 pumps and i used my hands for applying it. My foundation routine was done in 2 mins. I  would highly recommend you  to apply Loreal True Match Foundation with your clean fingers.I need only the smallest amount and applying this on the face.



I read somewhere that people had problems with it , as it dries quickly but to be honest it had no such problem. I seriously love the way this LOreal True Match foundation glides on smoothly without taking too much of time.It gives a little dewy finish but not too much. One thing i noticed that when layered too much , this foundation can look grayish, so i keep it light.
It comes with a pump so its a plus point , i broke the cap , i still have it but i didnt want to photograph it :P
The foundation comes ins glass container with a plastic, silver pump to release the liquid and a clear plastic lid to cover.


Over all , I think it is good value for money , i bought it for like 800-1000 rs or something , sorry cant remember ,and this foundation will last a long, long time. The range of shades is good, if a little confusing but i hope you got the idea If you are looking for a natural looking skin that looks great then you should check it out.


Do you remember your first ever foundation purchasing experience?
Which was your first foundation?
