   Color - 07 Clear Raisin

Product Features:

• Sally Hansen 18 Hour Lip Treatment.
• Continual 18 Hour Care.
• Contains 2X Revitalizing Retinol, Grape seed Oil and Mango.
• Time released formula delivers superior moisturization hour after hour.

I am a Sally Hansen loyal. The products actually are what they claim to be! 

I bought it from Souq online in Dubai for Dhs.18 and this is my second tube! The product claims to treat, repair, condition and heal your lips for up to 18 hours and it makes your lips beautifully supple!!! 

It glides on very easily, using a small lip applicator and lasts for quite a long time. Its not sticky on the lips either.

It contains Retinol, Grape seed Oil and Mango, which work together to rehydrate your lips, while Allantoin soothes sore lips.
There is also a time release formula which means that these super ingredients are released slowly over a period of time.

Although it says "clear", when you apply it, it gives you a slight tint of color.

Frequent reapplication is necessary to keep that all day soft and supple feeling, and it's easy to carry in your makeup bag too... A good, well priced lip treatment which keeps your lips soft and kissable!!

So if any of you are suffering from dry cracked lips...this product is for you!

Stay Gorgeous,

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact - Bronze

Remember i told you guys about nagging my husband to buy me the Shimmer Brick Eye Palette and the Shimmer Brick Compact while he was on the plane??? Well as promised here's the review for the compact.

The first Shimmer Brick Compact Palette introduced by Bobbi Brown was this one. And after it became the top rated product in the Bobbi Brown range, a few other, not to forget, even better compact palettes were created. I wish i had them all!!! Check them out HERE.

Now this compact comes in a beautiful palette of five pearly shades, which can be either easily blended together or if you wish can be used as a single color on your face as a blush, bronzer, highlighter or even as an eyeshadow. The best part is, this product comes with an original Bobbi Brown blending/powder brush too.

I and this product have been inseparable since i got it. It's long lasting, does not powder off if worn throughout the day and it gives a soft bronze glow to my NC30 skin. Its not "orange-y" either like most of the bronzers are.

The only negative thing I've heard is a lot of fair skinned people complain about the compact being a bit too much for their skin but otherwise it's awesome for Asian skin tones. Then again do go by with the "less is more" motto with this one. You wouldn't wan to look too bronzed up ;)

So, do you own a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact? If so, which ones? What do you think of them? I would love to hear your opinion...

Stay Gorgeous,

My Recent Haul

On my recent Ramadan cum Eid trip to Lahore i got a few things that i don't regret buying at all! I just love shopping in Lahore, Defence, Liberty, M.M. Alam Road are the places one must visit if you plan on shopping for good stuff.... This haul is from Al Fatah, D.H.A.

1) M.A.C 275 Angled Eyeshadow Brush (Thailand). Its an A+ GRADE replica. Rs.375.

2) Kryolan Professional Eye Contour Brush. Excellent for blending into the crease for the smokey effect. Rs.480.

3)  M.A.C 168 Large Angled Contour Brush (Thailand), (sorry it looks a lil fuzzy, i had washed them and didn't let them dry properly before taking the pictures). Rs.460.

4)M.A.C 187 Stippling/Finishing/Bronzing/Blush Brush. This one is the original M.A.C and its worth Rs.5080. I wish i would have opted for the Thailand replica for this one too!!! It costed Rs.800 and was, as i said an amaaazinggg replica. My sister in law bought that one and it gave the same finish as the original one!

5) D.M.G.M Foundation Brush. Rs.895.

6)Mai Shani Foundation Brush 115. This is an unknown Korean brand. I just bought this brush because it was ultra soft and gave an excellent coverage. Rs.95.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Eye Palette

I nagged my husband to get this palette and the Shimmer Brick Compact for me while he was on the plane from Dubai to Karachi. So he basically got it from the Emirates In-flight Duty Free. Both the palettes cost Dh.204 each(so worth the money) ;)

 

These are basically pearly, pastel hues. From left to right: Sunshine(gold champagne), Glisten(lovely icy white), Iris(two-toned gold lavender), Blush(fresh baby pink), Tangerine(pale peachy orange), Surf(sexy sky blue), Grass(pale gold/pale moss green), Petunia(rosy/tea pink), Bronze(pink tinged bronze), Peachy(self explanatory). 

They are all very shimmery colors  and so sheer that they seem very similar when applied in a light single layer. I normally apply them with a wet applicator to enhance the color. It works wonderfully that way. By the way the Bobbi Brown eyeshadow brush comes along with the palette.

*I've applied these with a wet applicator. I hope it helps you figure out how they would look.

*sorry my camera ain't all that great.

The compact ain't all that big. Its almost the size of  a credit card.

Final Verdict: ME LOVEEE! You can use it for an overall wash on the lid casually or along with other darker colors for formal events. I wish the colors were better pigmented though, but otherwise i suppose they are meant to be used for a single soft color wash!

So do any of you own this palette? Let me know your opinions...

Stay Gorgeous,
Yummy Mummy.
