Saeed Ghani Haul

I am always tempted to visit Saeed Ghani shops as all their products are herbal and safe for all skin types. I was eyeing their sandalwood range for a couple of days and today I decided to visit one of their outlets. I went to the one at Makro, Link Road, Lahore.

I got the Sandal Soap as I have heard about the benefits of sandal for our skin.

I also got the Khas Sandal Ubtan. The packaging looked really good. They have quite a number of ubtans to choose from like the Whitening Ubtan, Khas Sandal Ubtan, Zafrani Ubtan etc. It was difficult for me to choose but I opted for sandal again. The packet is zip locked to retain the freshness of ubtan.

Since Ubtan is supposed to be mixed in rose water so I got their bottle of rose water as well. I personally love rose water. I keep it in my refrigerator and spray it on my face. It's very refreshing and I love it. Also the Saeed Ghani's rose water comes in a spray bottle so it's very convenient to use.

I am facing the issue of cracked heels these days. Thanks to my bad habit of walking bare feet in my house, it has resulted in cracked heels so I got their Heel Krack Cream to treat my feet so that I can have my soft feet back before eid *FINGERS CROSSED*

Since I was out of my kajal pencil so I made a quick stop at Roop Singhar, Wapda Town and bought Maybelline Colossal Kajal yet again. I love this kajal, it doesn't smudge but it disappears from my waterline after few hours so I keep it in my bag for touch ups.

This is it for today. Now lets talk about the prices.
Sandal Soap Rs. 140
Khas Sandal Ubtan Rs. 200
Heel Krack Cream Rs. 250
Rose Water Rs. 75
Maybelline Collosal Kajal Rs. 350

I hope you'll like my haul. I will review these products after using them for a while.

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Review

I was captivated by the hype of Maybelline lips a little later than other people, but now that I have started using it, I am in love with this product. Keep reading for a detailed review.

Claims:

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro claims that it is not just a basic Lip Balm. It provides 8HR Hydration with a Neon Kick. It has Electric colour pigments in exclusive lip renew formula. It is available in 6 New Tinted Shades. It protects and moisturises lips for a full 8 hours.

My thoughts:

I bought Maybelline Baby Lips in the shade OH! ORANGE! I am totally in love with orangish things, be it lipsticks, nailcolors, lip balms, shoes or clothes, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK AT LEAST FOR ME. It is quite evident from the shade name that this particular shade has an orange tint. It’s not very bright though, just the usual tinted lip balm with a hint of orange.

It smells incredible just like fruitella in orange flavour. The orange smell is very sweet and not at all overpowering. Now coming to the hydration part, I think it does what it claims. I have not witnessed dry lips since I have started using it. I have been using baby lips since past 3 or 4 months and never have I complained about having dry lips. It actually hydrates lips perfectly and makes them soft and smooth.

I use it before applying lipstick and my lipstick glides on very smoothly and my lips looks subtle and gorgeous. I would definitely recommend it to all.

Swatch:

Reasons for liking it:

• Smooth and soft lips
• Tinted color
• Sweet fragrance
• Very cute packaging

·     Reasons for not liking it:

• You might not like it if you are looking for a lip balm with more pigmentation.

Price and Availability:

I got it for Rs. 350 from Roop Singhar, Lahore. I would suggest that you buy Maybelline BabyLips from a genuine shop. I have seen a lot of fake baby lips in the market recently. You don’t want to take a risk here.

Rating:

I would rate it 4.5/5.

Would I buy it again? :

Yes I would definitely buy it again and again. 

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream Review

Whenever I enter a beauty/cosmetic shop, I start drooling over all the shiny polished products stocked in the shop. I get this uncontrollable urge that even when I do not need to buy anything, , I just end up buying more and more. Crazy, right? I know but I can’t help it. I feel suicidal if I came out of a cosmetic store without buying anything (yes I am a bit dramatic and now you are asking me “A BIT”? okay okay, I am VERY dramatic). Let me tell you that I have a bunch of foundations and bb creams and yet I keep buying more and more. So I decided this month that I won’t waste my money on things which I don’t need at all but then again, I was so wrong and I ended up buying Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream.

Claims: 

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream claims that it is an instant skin perfection cream. It is 8 in 1 beauty balm. It blurs imperfections, brighten, evens skin tone, smoothes, hydrates, enhances, protects with SPF 30 and 0% oils and heavy ingredients.

My thoughts: 

 I got this BB cream in light shade which is a perfect match for my skin. It is made in France and comes in a 30ml tube.



I love its cute packaging and it’s also very handy to carry in your bag. I like the fact that it is neither very thin that it becomes difficult to manage nor very thick. It has the perfect smooth texture and it blends very effortlessly. Now the question is does it brighten up my complexion? Yes it does and that too, in a very natural way (BTW I hate artificial cakey looks) I like how it illuminates my face without being cakey and heavy. In fact it has a very light weight formula. It has a very pleasant fragrance unlike garnier which smells medicinal.

Now does it conceals my post acne marks? Yes it does, but only to an extent. I have very minimal post acne marks and they are easily concealed by this bb cream but those of you with bad scarring and redness might not find it very useful as it gives a light coverage.

Reasons for liking it:

• Easy on pocket
• Easily available
• Illuminates skin
• Does not clog pores as its very light and so no breakouts.

Reasons for not liking it:

• Does not conceal scarring perfectly.
• Light coverage (if you are a fan of medium to full coverage, this product is not for you)

Price and Availability:

I don't remember exactly but it was around Rs. 550 I guess and I bought it from Roop Singhar, Lahore.

Rating: 

I would rate it 4/5

Would I buy it again?

Yes I will do as I am a fan of sheer coverage.
