Product Review: Colour Studio Professional's Nail Paint in Bosphorus

Hello lovely peeps!

Welcome back to my blog!

Lately, I was on a hunt to find the perfect nail paint for this spring/summer and one day, roaming in the mall I stumbled upon this nail paint stall which I had totally forgotten about. 

Colour studio professional(CSP) comes out with a new nail paint every other month and their range of nail paints are actually breath-taking. So, I thought, why not give one of their nail paint(from the Haute collection ) a go.

Here, I am reviewing Bosphorus, which is a pastel green (with a hint of teal) nail paint. This nail paint is from their Haute collection. It is really refreshing and is perfect to wear with bright colored tunics. It suits almost every skin type. It has no glitter or shimmer. The nail paint goes on smooth and gets opaque in about two/three coats .

CSP's nail paints never disappointment me,to be honest but, this one is a winner for me so far. I get so many compliments when I am wearing it so, I guess I should stop my hunt and stick to this,

These nail paints are super affordable (PKR 250) and readily available, if you live in Pakistan then, CLICK HERE, to purchase it.

Let me know in the comments below, your favourite nail paint from CSP.

Product Review: Lo'real Paris Le Vernis Nail Paint in Ocean Porcelain-858

Hello lovely readers!

Happy New Year,guys. Today, I am so excited to write my first blog post of 2015. Moving on,I am so sorry for being MIA for a while but, let me tell you guys one thing that one of my new year resolutions was to be more active on my blog so, I hope that I could be more persistent in terms of writing.

Okay, as the name of the blog says it, today I will be reviewing Lo'real Paris's nail paint, Lo'real just launched their new nail paint collection known as "Le Vernis",it is a series of pale colour nail polishes and I will reviewing the nail paint in Ocean porcelain 858 which is a pretty pale baby blue colour. 

The brush is pretty wide which makes it easy to apply the nail paint and this nail paint has a WOW factor which is that it dries really quickly.I found that a thin double layer works best with this polish.This nail paint is best to wear with a chunky sweater or a well-embroidered top and would look incredible with a colourful chunky ring or knuckle rings.

Imperfections within my skin - Skin Confessions!

Okay,so, after reading the title you guys would have been wondering that is post will be about "me complaining about my skin" but, hi! guys,I will not be doing that infact, I am out on a hunt finding that one skincare product that does it all for me.

There are a very few people on this planet -Earth, that are blessed with healthy,glowing, acne and dark-spot free face; whereas others, including me have to work really hard to get that healthy and glowing face. Every morning and sometimes at night I spend hours and hours doing my skincare routine in-order,to avoid any dark spots or uneven skin tone and sometimes my skin goes craycray hence, I get a bi-jillion pimples on my face and what not. Sometimes, battling with my pimples my face gets distributed into different tones and then, that's the time when no whitening cream or skincare product works. Oh!and how can I forget about efforts Mr.Sun makes in-order to tan up my skin.However, I'm still finding/waiting for that one cream that does it all, reduces my dark spots, evens out my skin and of course! brightens/whitens it up.

Inorder, to study my skin and find flaws in it, I will start to ask a few questions from myself and would later answer them. If you are also in the same situation as I am -that is finding that one cream that does it all,then I would suggest you all to do this fun activity with me.

So Ladies, let's get started!

Here are the questions:

1. What is my skin type? Is it Dry/Oily or Combination?
2. Do I get acne or occasionally pimples?
3. Is my skin having dark spots, at the moment?
4. Is my face divided into different skin tones?
5. Do I go out alot ,especially in daytime?
6. Do I encounter air pollution on the daily bases?

Now,it's time to jot down some answers.

 Remember,to first touch your skin ,study and analyze it and then answer them.

And, here are my answers!

1. My skin type is combination.
2. I get pimples, occasionally.
3. Yes, I have a few dark spots and a few blemishes,at the moment.
4. Yes, my fore head has a completely different colour than that of my T-zone area and my neck.
5. I am a student so, yes I encounter sunlight and air pollution,alot.

So,according to these answer, I need something that is made for people with combination skin type. Has a higher number of SPF in it and could even out my skin tone.Even could reduce or I should say vanishes the dark spots.

So, my hunt still continues!

Though, this time I have things cleared up in my head.

And, I will definitely let you guys know, till then my search continues........

Thank you! for making it to the bottom of the post :')
Hope you enjoyed!
Have a nice day ahead!

Product Review: RSL's Hdyra-White duo.

Hello Everybody!

Today, I will be reviewing my very first P.R sample ,which was sent to be by RSL. So, without any further a do, Let's jump into it.

So, Firstly, I was asked to choose my sample from the three kinds of the duo-s.Which were following:

• Acne be gone - for acne prone skin.

• Hydra white - skin whitening treatment.

• RSL 7 - multivitamins treatment.

and of course, I chose Hydra-White duo, because I don't have acne and secondly, I wanted something that would brighten-up my skin.

Why I like it?

I will not say that "Why I love it?" because, this product wasn't MIND-BLOWING but, it surely was a satisfying product.The product claims that it will promote healthy glowing skin,lighten skin and will reduce dark spots. In my opinion, this product does reduces dark spots and evens out skin complexion.It is effective though, it takes alot of time while doing this , its extremely slow whilst, it claims to do all these things in just four weeks. Budget-wise they are super affordable but,both of these products do contain sulphates and parabens.

Further Details:

• Rsl Hydra White Whitening Cream :

It comes in a plastic tube with a flip top lid that secures it,making it a travel friendly product.It's consistency is slightly thick and the colour is stark white.The smell of this cream is abit obnoxious,to be honest. This really helps me at night as my skin becomes extremely dry and stiff, it relaxes my skin and leaves my skin soft and smooth.According to my observation, it  only helps to moisturise my face but, didnot evens out my skin tone.

P.S: I use to apply it twice a day, right after the face wash.

• Rsl Hydra White Face wash :

The packaging is almost the same except for the colour of the plastic tube. The consistency is slightly thick and the colour is milky white, same as that of the syrup in the Boston creme donut. That pretty much explains the appearance of the face wash.The smell of the face-wash was unbearable for me,at first but later I invented a way to make the scent of this face-wash bearable by mixing a bit of my Pond's face-wash with it ,every time I use to use it.It use to hardly lather and I usually use to struggle to clean it off as it took a lot of water in-order to get cleaned.

• Pros:

1. Travel-friendly packaging.
2. Super affordable.
3. Reduces dark spot.
4. Easily available.

• Cons:

1. The fragrance of both of the products is a bit obnoxious.
2. Both of them contain parabens and sulphates.
3. Doesnot even out the skin.

RATE: 3/5

Price:
The Hydra White Whitening Cream: 150PKR
The Hydra White Face-wash: 95PKR


Both of them are available- HERE!

Have a nice day ahead!

Product Review: Lo'real Paris's 'True Match' foundation.

Product Review:

Lo'real Paris's True Match foundation.

Hello ladies!

Today, I will be reviewing a foundation by Lo'real Paris, from their collection True Match so, with that said lets get started!

Why I love it?

The True Match foundation is super-blend-able, as it claims. This foundation doesn't only matches my skin colour but also matches my skin texture .Ironically, after applying this foundation I feel like my pores are absorbing the foundation.This leaves my skin beautiful, flawless-looking and lustrous.I find I can usually skip the concealer and powder because it is super-blendable and matte-fying , respectively.Hence, this winter season I wanted something light-weighted and something that could give me matte flawless-looking complexion,here is it I got my hands on this right here however, it completes my needs for this season. *mission accomplished*

NOTE: According to Lo'real's research, 97% of the U.K's female population will be able to find their match within the twenty-two TRUE MATCH shades *pretty impressive* .

Why I bought it?

The reason I bought this was because it claimed that its a true match for your skin colour and texture which is so true.Next, it claimed that it's super-blendable, true again. It claimed that it gives perfect coverage without caking hence, its true. Along with these marvelous benefits it is true-to-skin shades without tide-marks.Its a pretty much affordable foundation with a pump dispenser and a transparent plastic cap as shown below:

I'm in the shade D1-W1 (Golden Ivory)

You can buy it from any local drugstore e.g: Agha's 

or

Online, HERE

PKR. 2700


Swatches

Pros:

• Super-blendable.
• It contains SPF 17.
• Matches not only the skin colour but also the texture.
• Gives perfect coverage.

Cons:

• Mostly not available at drugstores.
• The matte-ness only lasts for 3-4 hours.

This is it, let me know in the comments bar down there, 'What is your all-time favourite foundation?'

GOOD LUCK!

Product Review: Colour Studio Professional's Pure Matt Lipstick.

Product Review: Color Studio Professional's

Pure Matt Lipstick 

in

Backstage 113.

Hello lovely readers!

First things first, I would like to make two announcements Firstly,that My blog i.e: Beautyguide is now a PBBC member *yayy* that actually makes me the PBBC member, PBBC i.e Pakistani Beauty Blogger Community is a community or a page where registered Beauty Bloggers share their blog posts and have many amusing activities like meet-ups and gift swaps.It's actually a gigantic platform for talented Pakistani Beauty Bloggers to show off their talents and encourage other girls to do the same.

For more details do check out their Facebook fanpage: Here!

And the second announcement is that I'm nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Renny R.author of the sincerelyrenny blog. Renny honestly I'm honored.

Go ahead and check her blog out: Here!

Without any further due ,let's get started with the review. CSP's Pure Matt lipsticks were reviewed by each and every blogger literally every but I haven't seen any of the blogger doing a review on BACKSTAGE 113.

So,I decided to do the review:

Why I love it :

Most of the ingredients mentioned on the packing are organic and fragrance/scent of the lipstick smells healthy to me.The lipstick moistens my lips and hydrates them whilst the lip-colour is on it for about 16hrs,the colour of the lipstick which is Backstage 113 is in vogue now a days. These lipsticks are highly pigmented and the colour of the lipstick makes my lips look fuller, pulpier and makes my complexion more blooming fair.

The coral colour is perfect for post-summers and pre-falls :).When I apply this on to my lips there is no further need of applying anything else.

Why I picked this particular colour:

This colour is remarkably attractive and is close to my nature lip colour.I usually wear dark eye make-up so to tone down and to match up with my eyes I usually apply nude/coral/olive -coloured lipsticks/lipcolour so, this is also one of them and will also be good for those days when I'm too lazy to apply anything and would apply it within few seconds and will leave my home boldly as if I have spent hours and hours mixing up lipcolours to make this sharp/eye-catchy but at the same time a very cool lipcolour.

PRONS & CONS!

This was one of my August Favourites, have you yet checked it out :NO?

I hope you have enjoyed reading my reviews for CSP's Pure Matt lipstick.

Have a nice day ahead :)

Product Review: TBS's Vitamin E Moisturizing Cream.

Product Review: "The Body Shop's Vitamin E Moisturizing Cream"

Hello Ladies!!

As we all know moisturizer is a girl's/woman's most closet friend because it is always with it ,in the handbag ,in the clutch, on the side table and everywhere else. Whether it's summer or winters a moisturizer is a must-have for every female out-there old or young.I definitely need a moisturizer after washing my face with all oil-control-ing face products, in the end  I need a moisturizing/oil product though it's not at all an oil product.

Why I love it:

I must say this 50ml bottle/cylinder contains all the goodness on the Earth,which simply means it's the best moisturizing cream EVER :)I apply it before I apply the foundation/concealer so, I use it as a primer because it helps me that way too.Whether, it's winters or summers this moisturizing cream works the best.It's not greasy infact, it's super hydrating.

What it claims :

• It would your hydrate your skin   
• No dry-ness "marks"
• Keeps skin moisturized for upto 16hrs
• Softens skin 

And let me tell you it does fulfil all it's claims :)

Dislikes!!

• Most of the time not available at TBS

Likes!!

• It has an incredible fragrance 
• Softens + Moisturizes my skin.
• Keeps my skin hydrated :)
• I love the coral colour of the cream.

I visited my nearest TBS store and fetched it.The 2in1 affect of this blush attracted me towards itself.The baked blush is shimmer-y plus it has a shimmer-y highlighter in it.
This gives a cute+fresh shimmer-y affect to my cheeks and the hightlighter,I usually use on my nose and the forehead.The blusher brush is completely "FLAWLESS" and is super super soft.( I wish I could make you feel it through this blog though my words do explain a little bit) When I make the brush touch my cheeks ,it feels likes HEAVEN :)

Product Review: TONI & GUY PREP Heat Protection Mist

TONI & GUY PREP 

Heat Protection Mist

+

Anti-Static Control.

WHY I LOVE IT : 
This mist works TWO IN ONE for me, I use it as a heat protection and as a de-tangler.
YES! as a de-tangler because when you apply it on your wet hair it smooth-ens , de-tangles and leaves your hair static + frizz free. Before styling, I spray it thoroughly on my roots and tips .Next, when I'm done with spraying and styling I don't feel like I have heat styled them because they are as healthy, shiny and yes!! extremely thick ( I know it sounds phony but believe me after spraying this mist the volume of my hair doubles).

NOTE: Thick and healthy hair are two different categories,  healthy means strong hair and thick hair means volume-d hair.



WHY I BOUGHT IT:

The story behind this mist is that ,I went to the nearer local store to buy a conditioner. Which was currently out of stock so, I picked without looking at the label and later, I realized that I had picked the wrong product.So, eventually this was a good mistake and would like to buy it again. I also didn't give it back because of the brand name as, I had never ever tried it before so, in li'l enthusiasm and zeal I decided to pick it with me. 

Some SIDE-POSES ;)

HOW IT TO APPLY/SPRAY IT:

Spray it thoroughly in your roots and tips,the crunch/smugde/squeeze your tips with your hands, next comb your hair and run your fingers through your hair and finally, toss your hair upside down.VOILA!!

NOW GO AND HEAT UP YOUR HAIR "FEARLESSLY" ;)

PRICE:

I bought it on discounted price : from 1100 PKR to 1035 PKR.

QUANTITY:

150ML

LIKES!! :

• Works 2 in 1 :D
• Makes me feel good about my hair even after heat styling :)
• Amazing packing/bottle :)
• Little quantity great quality :)

DISLIKES!! :

• Really expensive :(

RATINGS:

Hope you enjoyed!!

If you buy it then let me know I'll tell you the store's name :)

Thank you!!  for taking your time-out and making it to the bottom of the blog :)

XOXO 

HAVE A GOOD DAY !!

Product Review/Product Comparison

      

     Product Review/Product Comparison

          Category:  Eye (Mascaras)

Products:   Body Shop's Super Volume Mascara                Maybellion Newyork's Great Lash

Review #1:

This mascara gives colossal volume to the lashes and is perfect for this summer though it's not waterproof.

It's super cheap/less expensive as for PAKISTANIS, it's just for Rs. 450 hence, is available is all beauty stores across the country.This one is in the shade Big Black and works amazing on my eye lashes.

This is how its brush looks like, the brush separates each eye lash and evenly spreads across the lashes.The good part is it doesn't gives the dramatic effect,which is beneficial for the teenagers out there.

This is the result of this mascara.

RATING: ***/*****

Review #2:

This mascara leaves your eye lashes long, healthy-looking and fuller.this might sound phony but after appling this you donot need to apply fake lashes or any other kind of mascara.The price of it is nearly around Rs.1100.Yeah! I know its pretty expensive but its worth it.

Its available at all body shop outlets and stores.

Result^.

RATING:****/*****

So,This was my first ever blog, I hope you enjoyed and this might have helped you to pick a go-for-summer mascara.

TY! for taking out your precious time and reading it :)
