Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it. Remember today, for every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness. Is it really worth it?

I have a little recipe that isn't hard to make, but you must always start it as soon as you awake.

Take a great big mixing bowl and fill it with a smile,
Mix half a cup of sunshine with good deeds to last a while.
Add a pinch of work and play, a pinch of thoughtfulness and care,
But don't bake it in the oven, just spread it around everywhere.

Nail Art Stamping II

Hi Beauties!

Its been a long time that I have not done any post on nails. So here in one for you. I took a break from applying nail colors so that my nails could breathe and become pink again. So two days back I did some nail art with the new stapming plate that I recently bought from JMC.

This is an XL stamping plate that has I guess 42 different stamping designs. As a complimentary gift I got nail tips. The nail tips are of 3 different styles. These are really helpful for doing a neat and tidy French tips application.Thanks to JMC for sending me this complimentary gift.  

This is a full view of the plate. You can click on the image to view it larger and see the designs clearly.

I also did a look with the new plate ;) and by the way do not forget to remove the blue plastic covering over the plate before using it. My most favorite part is removing the cover and seeing my reflection in the plate. I knw its very childish :p

 

I used Medora nail color for the base and black stamping nail art color for the design.

Here is the final look. I know its not perfect. But what, I am still trying :p







Above, I have circled the design I stamped on my nails. Though it looks completely different on my nails due to my bad application. But seriously this is the one!

I hope you liked my new nail plate. You can buy it from JMC Nail Art Islamabad for Rs 1450 I think.... Check out her Facebook page she has so many other amazing designs as well and that too in stock. So order before she runs out of stock. Hope you liked my post. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Essence my skin moisturizing cream

Hi Beauties!

Its summer and our skin stays overly moisturized with the oil oozing out of the skin more or less like Oil refineries. Still we can not neglect the importance of a moisturizer. In order to keep the skin hydrated and fresh moisturizer plays a vital role. What I use as a moisturizer is, Essence my skin intensively caring cream for normal to dry skin.

Essence my skin moisturizing cream comes in a cardboad box and is very eye catching. I do not have the cardboard packing as I threw it away before taking pictures of it. The cream itself is in a small plastic jar with 50 ml content.

The cream is very light orange in color more like light peach. I don't know what exactly this color is called as I am not good with color naming but for sure its neither pink nor white. As you can see here my cream is nearing the end and it occured to me that I should review it before I completely finish it up.

Here is a swatch of the cream. You may notice its really smooth and creamy. The consistency is good. It isnt runny and neither its very thick. Its just right as it should be for a cream. My experience with this moisturizer has been really great. I use it everyday whenever I wash my face or cleanse it I use this cream afterwards. Its very moisturizing and isn't oily at all. It quickly absorbs into the skin and does not leave a greasy residue over the skin. It moisturises the skin without making it oily or greasy.  It hydrates and nourishes the skin but do not expect it to do any miracles for you. It serves the purpose of a moisturizer, it does not make you fair or makes your acne scars disappear. I would rate it 3.5/5 and since I have already hit the pit I may buy it again. I purchased this from Enem Liberty Market for Rs. 360 I think. Do not remember exactly.

Hope you liked my review. Comment and tell me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

I broke at Breakout :p

Hi Beauties!

Here is another haul post for you. You must be familiar with out local clothing brand, Breakout. Its been 3 or 4 years of their existence in the market. I'd say its a good clothing store where you can buy clothes for men and women plus shoes, bags and other accessories like jewellery items. I just went for a stroll into the store but it proved to be contagious for me and I bought some stuff from there. Here is what I got:

This pretty red bracelet is for Rs. 590.

The leopard print bracelet for Rs. 490.

The ring for Rs. 390.

As for the neon pink yellow shoes I do not exactly recall the price but I think they were for Rs. 1400. Not sure exactly.

Hope you liked my haul. Did you buy anything from Breakout this season? If yes, share your experience and buys with me :) Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

OMG: Neutrogena Wave

Hi Beauties!

Alot of you have been requesting me to review Neutrogen wave. I am sure many of you want to try it out. I purchased this from Al Fatah Liberty Market for Rs. 845. I believe its available for different prices at different stores, like I got this for Rs. 845 from Al Fatah but its being sold for Rs. 1200 at VIP cosmetics store. So I would advise you to look out for the best bargain for yourself.

Neutrogen a wave comes in a thin cardboard box with the device visible in the box under a transparent thick plastic sheet. It has how to use instructions written at the back and also the cautions for using the device.

Neutrogena wave comes with 14 cleansing pads, a duracell battery and the device itself.

14 cleasning pads. 7 pads in each pack

The power button side

The head

Batteries side

Battery insert

My Experience:

When I asked the Sales Representative price for this product I found it to be reasonable enough. So I purchased it to see how it works and what it does. I must say I am really pleased with its performance. Neutrogena lives upto its name. This device undoubtedly is amazing and does its job well. All I did was, put in the battery, and attached one of the cleansing pad to its head. The device head has something which lets the pad stick to it. Just wet the attached pad under a tap of running water and you are ready to go. I pushed the power button and it started vibrating like an epilator. I moved the device in circular motions all over my face and neck. The cleansing pad once activated produced lather and the pad isn't harsh on the skin at all. I repeated circular motions all over the face for almost 5 to 7 minutes, switched off the power, rinsed my face with water and discarded the cleansing pad. Please keep in mind that these pads are disposable and can not be used more than once. For hygiene purposes and to avoid germs breeding on your face please discard it after use and do not think of letting it dry and using it the next time :/

This is a cleansing tool and designed to be used on daily purposes. It is your own choice how often you want to use it. Some people use it twice a day, some once daily and some who use it twice or thrice a week. However Neutrogena claims that its safe for daily usage as its an alternative to your daily cleansing routine. I found my skin really clean and smooth after its use. You can actually feel the difference. I read quite alot of reviews for this product over the internet and majority of the reviews were positive. Even people with oily skins claimed it to be an excellent though there were some who claimed that this product broke them out. SIne I have a dry to combination skin it worked perfectly well for me. You may have to try it to find out the result for yourself.

I also purchased a set of refills as well. The refill set contains 30 cleasnsing pads and is priced at Rs. 760. Exfoliating pads are also available. I think I am going to buy the exfoliating pads too. So that I may cleanse and exfoliate skin at the same time.

I love this device and would totally recommend you girls giving it a try. I hope this review answers all your concerns regarding Neutrogen Wave. In case you want to know more just drop in a comment :) Hope you liked my review. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

As sure as there are leprechauns to make a wish come true, tis nothing but the happiest of days I’m wishing you.
