Hey everyone,


Hope you all are doing great. Today I have a lip product review to share with you all. I just love lip crayons/chubby pencils and since, I read about Jordana Twist & Shine Balm Stains, I was so tempted to try these. They are not easily available in Pakistan, but can be ordered via Facebook pages from beauty joint. I ordered mine through Hash in my recent makeup haul and have been using it a lot since the day I got this. Let's see what I have to say about this...........

Jordana Twist and Shine Balm Stain in Honey Love

Okay, so starting with the packaging it comes in a chubby twistable crayon. I like lip crayons and find them more convenient. Jordana twist and shine balm stains have a unique formula. It applies smoothly on the lips. It feels hydrating on lips and is moisturizing as the name states. The finish it provides is semi-matte with subtle glossiness. The best part is that the hydration stays there for a reasonable time and it doesn't make the lips feel dry after a while like MUA Power Pouts did.

This twist and shine balm stain is very pigmented. The coverage it provides is medium but buildable. It feels very comfortable on the lips. The staying power of this balm stain is quite impressive too. It stays on the lips for about 4-5 hours which is pretty good for me. It leaves a nice rosy stain on the lips which looks lovely. Am impressed with the staying power and quality of this balm stain and am glad I tried this.

Now talking about the color. I picked the shade "Honey Love" because I already have a lot of pinks and corals and this one seemed a bit different. Honey love is a gorgeous shade. Its a beautiful my lips but better shade on me. Can be worn, every single day. Its a pinkish mauve kind of shade with some brown tones and looks quite natural when applied. But, I noticed the shade becomes darker and a bit more rosy after a while. Am surprised, I tried it many times, and every time it became a bit darker after sometime. Overall, I love this shade a lot and its a beautiful everyday shade.

Overall, Jordana has again impressed me with this product. I love this lip balm stain a lot and it has become my favorite lip product these days. I definitely recommend you to try these. It's amazing for the price. There are many beautiful shades to chose from and I am hoping to get more soon.

The Goods:

• Good pigmentation
• Hydrates/moisturizes the lips
• Applies easily and smoothly
• Decent staying power
• A subtle everyday shade

The Bads:

• Availability in Pakistan

Price & Availability: These twist and shine balm stains are available online at Jordana Cosmetics website for $2.99/- only. I ordered mine from Beauty Joint through Facebook Page Hash for PKR 560.


Here is a good news...Jordana Twist and Shine Balm and other products are now available online at Just4girls..

Hey Everyone,


Today am sharing my recent makeup haul with you after manyyyy days. Well I placed this order somewhere back in Feb-March, and it arrived just yesterday. And finally, I can share this with you. This was my first shopping experience with the Facebook page Hash. So, let's get to the details of what I ordered and how was my experience with this new page.... :)

New Makeup Haul

RT Core Collection Brushes

The Queen of Highlighters, The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer

Beauty Joint Stuff

List of what I bought:

• RT Core Collection Set (PKR 2390/- from Ulta)
• Jordana Twist and Shine Balm Stain in shade "Honey Love" (Rs 560/- from Beauty Joint)
• Jordana Powder Blush in shade "Rose Silk" (Rs 400/- from Beauty Joint)
• Jordana Easy Shine Glossy Lip Color in "Sweet Strawberry" (Rs 370/- from Beauty Joint)
• The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer ( Rs 2000/- from The Balm 50% Sale)

In February, I wanted to order a few things from Beauty Joint and was looking for a page who is taking orders for it. Luckily, I spotted "Hash" which was open for beauty joint, Ulta and drugstore orders till March. The owner quoted such reasonable rates for the products that compelled me to buy even a few more things. I initially wanted to get Jordana Twist and Shine and Jordana Blush along with a few lipsticks from BeautyJoint. But, the tempting prices of RT brushes forced me to change my list. I think PKR 2390/- was the lowest price ever quoted by someone for RT core collection set. So, I ordered 3 things from Beauty Joint along with one "RT Core Collection Set" from ULTA.

While I was placing this order, there came the day of "The Balm" 50% sale and oh... I was lucky that Hash was taking orders for the sale too. I immediately thought about ordering  the product that was on my wishlist for so long. Yes... The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer....!!! Hash again charged a very reasonable price for this (Rs 2000/-) and I placed an order for this Lou-Manizer too.

I made the 50% advance payment via online banking as per the terms of page (Hash) and the rest was to be paid after the arrival of orders. The owner trusted us and was kind enough to wait for the payment. She even placed The Balm orders prior to us sending her the payments. The Balm orders arrived just on time within a month or so. But, I was waiting for my rest of the products from Beauty Joint and Ulta to receive them together.

Beauty Joint and Ulta orders were to arrive in the first week of April, but unfortunately because of some problem at both sites end, there shipments were delayed for about a month. The owner was very cooperative and replied to our each and every query with patience. As it was not her fault, we also patiently waited for the order.  After a month of waiting, finally came the beauty joint shipment and then the RT brushes also reached within a few days. Hash immediately dispatched our orders right after the arrival of the shipments and I got it in just one day. I also received an MUA lipstick in shade 10 as a complimentary gift which is a nice bright shade.

Overall, I really am a happy customer of Hash (click to open in new tab) and am glad I found this new online page. I'll definitely be shopping again from them. If you have not checked the page yet, then you should give them a try.  The owner is very cooperative and the prices are so so so reasonable....

Hey lovelies,

Hope you all are doing well. Sorryyyy..I have been MIA coz of many issues here. Was not well plus was very busy. But well, am back to blogging now. Missed you all so much.... :)  As am back, here I am with a long-awaited review. Am going to review a facial mask by Everyuth Naturals. It is called "Everyuth Golden Glow Peel-off Mask". I bought this somewhere back in winters this year and after trying it a few times now is the perfect time to share my thoughts on this. So let's begin.....

Everyuth Naturals Golden Glow Peel-off Mask

Everyuth Naturals Golden Glow Peel-off Mask

 What Everyuth claims about this mask:
Dust, pollution and the environment cause impurities to clog skin pores and make the skin dull. EverYuth's Golden Glow Peel - Off is a home facial with orange peel extracts and glitter particles which gives you an instant glow and fairness when there's no time for a parlour facial. Its 3 way action works wonders on your skin by peeling away dirt and bacteria from within the skin pores. It stimulates blood circulation and oxygen supply to the skin and gives an instant fairness with a golden glow.

How to use:
Wash your face, pat skin dry. Apply even layer over your face avoiding delicate areas like eyes and mouth. (Do not apply very thin layer). Let it dry for 15-20 minutes. Peel off from forehead in a downward direction towards chin & wash off. For best results use atleast once a week.

Here's a quick demonstration of how to apply and remove the mask:

Squeeze enough amount of the mask

Evenly spread it and let it dry for 20 minutes

Start peeling it off from the corner and wash off after removing completely.. You are all done :)

My Thoughts:Okay, so after reading many positive reviews on this product,I was quite tempted to try this. Luckily, on my visit to Al-Fatah (Centaurus Mall) I spotted this in the skincare section. I bought the larger (90g) tube to see how it works on me. Although, I don't use a lot of face masks, but I was quite excited to try this product.

This mask comes in a squeezable tube with screw cap. You can easily squeeze the tube to get a decent amount of mask. Upon, squeezing, comes out the orange/gold colored mask. The first thing I noted about this mask was the artificial smell of orange peel was quite obvious and annoying. Well, ignore it for now. The consistency of the mask is just medium. It's not too thick which makes it easier to apply. The masks feels a bit sticky though. It also contains tiny gold/shimmer particles which are quite visible.

Everyuth Naturals Golden Glow Peel-off Mask

The first time I used it, I applied a thin layer of the mask on my face, which turned into a mess later and was very difficult to remove (Oops, my mistake, should have read the instructions carefully...!!) Well, the next time, I squeezed a generous amount of the mask and applied a thick layer on my face. The consistency of the mask makes it easier to spread evenly on the face. I have dry/combination skin and my skin is sensitive but am glad I didn't notice any irritation or tingling after applying it. After letting it dry for 20 minutes, I started peeling off the mask and it was removed easily without any pain or hassle. I washed my face, and oh mine... it was really looking fresh and clean. I won't actually call that a glow, but yes the face was visibly radiant.... :-)

This mask gave me a really clean and fresh face, perfect for any occasion. But wait....the results are temporary and doesn't last long. The radiance fades after about 3-4 hours. But still, its perfect for a whitening facial at home and am happy with the results. I have dry/combination skin and it wasn't drying on my skin. My skin just felt nice and fresh after using it which is great.Am sure it will work great in summers too as it removes excess oil and dirt from the face.

Am glad I tried this product and am quite happy with the results. It gives you a nice fresh and radiant face within just 20 minutes. This product doesn't improve complexion but yes instantly brightens the complexion for a few hours.I recommend you to try this too but yes, don't expect a real sudden GLOW or else you will be disappointed.

The Goods:

• Inexpensive
• Gives your skin a nice clean feeling
• Instantly brightens the skin/complexion for few hours
• Super easy to use and peel-off
• Doesn't dry the skin
• Good for combination skin

The Bads:

• Contains parabens
• The results are not permanent
•  Strong artificial orangy smell

Price & Availability: I bought mine from Al-Fatah (The Centaurus Mall, Islamabad) for PKR 295/- only. Everyuth golden glow peel off mask in also available online at Just4girls.


My rating: 4/5
