Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a great start. As you all now, this Mothers Day, The Body Shop Pakistan gave us opportunity to shop for us and our Mothers. One of the products that I picked on Mothers Day was the new TBS British Rose Eau de Toilette. I am such a huge fan of floral fragrances and have been wanting to try it since I heard about it. So let's get to the review to read what do I think of this new British Rose Eau de Toilette by The Body Shop...

The Body Shop British Rose Eau de Toilette

The Body Shop British Rose Eau de Toilette

The Body Shop British Rose Eau de Toilette comes in a 100ml transparent glass bottle with light pink perfume inside. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous. Its sleek and feminine and I love it. About the scent, its neither very strong, nor very light. Its just perfect and subtle enough for everyday use. I love floral, flirty scents and this one can truly be described as a "FLORAL" scent. Once you sniff it, you will feel like you are in a garden full of roses. It is very feminine and not at all musky. The top notes of British Rose in the scent are pretty dominant. However it also has a light touch of sweetness. I can best describe it as a subtle floral sweet fragrance. This scent is ideal for spring and summers. The staying power of this British Rose Eau de Toilette is really good and it lasts all day long easily.

Overall, I love, love, love The Body Shop British Rose Eau de Toilette. It is a subtle floral fragrance with hint of sweetness. Its just perfect for those who don't like very strong scents and prefer floral and feminine fragrances. I am glad I picked this one as me and My Mom are loving it. This has surely become my new favorite fragrance from The Body Shop.


The Goods:

• Lovely floral fragrance
• Attractive packaging
• Light and airy
• Great for everyday use
• Perfect for spring/summers
• Good staying power
• Feminine scent

The Bads:

• Those who like strong/musky scents might not like this

Indeed this flagship follows the opening of the HSY Lahore store at the prestigious Gulberg Galleria and the introduction of the HSY mansion in Karachi for bespoke couture. The brand’s launch in Karachi also follows HSY’s continued expansion plans, with more stores and brand presence in Pakistan and beyond envisioned within the next 5 years.

“As we expand our ready to wear lines at HSY across formal, semi-formal and every day wear, Karachi is a natural market for us and we are delighted to be opening at the city’s most popular mall. Indeed the aim of the store is to make the HSY brand more accessible to our customers in Sindh as is the case of the Punjab, where they will be able to buy our new collections immediately after their runway showcase. I have been spending a lot of time in Karachi throughout the last year with the filming on my television show and the opening of the HSY mansion and have found the city’s retail spirit to be thriving. Also, as our brand becomes more aligned with the stars of film and television as a natural course, Karachi as the hub of media makes a lot of sense to us. Karachi, get ready for HSY!”, said Hassan Sheheryar Yasin.

Hey everyone,

Each year Mothers Day is celebrated around the globe to appreciate mothers for their unconditional love and contribution to the families. This year, on Sunday 8th May, Mothers Day was celebrated in many countries including Pakistan. Like every year, I also planned and bought some surprise gifts for my Mother already. But The Body Shop Pakistan made this Mothers Day even more special for us by offering us bloggers vouchers of worth Rs 10,000 for buying gifts for our Moms and ourselves from The Body Shop outlet in our city.
To celebrate Mothers Day with The Body Shop and fellow bloggers, Me and my Mom went to The Body Shop outlet in Centaurus, Islamabad. Najaf Naad E Ali, Aiesha and Mahnoor of Constantine PR, who were handling the event, guided the bloggers well throughout the activity.

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are doing great. Few weeks ago, I got the chance to try these much hyped "Mousse Shimmers" from Facebook based online store Reasonablez.com. Many of you girls requested me to review these shimmers soon. I have been testing these regularly and here I am with my review on these Studio Line Mousse Eye Shimmers. So no more talking, let's just get to the review to see what I have to say about these mousse shimmers from Reasonablez.com...

Studio Line Mousse Shimmers

Studio Line Mousse Shimmers come in a black cardboard outer box with small pots of mousse shimmers inside. These are basically mousse eye shimmers to be used on eyes. However these are versatile and can be used on eyes, lips, face or body.

Studio Line Mousse Shimmers box contains 12 pots of mousse shimmers in different shades. I was expecting them all to be shimmery but was surprised to see 4 matte shades in the box. There are 6 shimmery, 2 metallic, 1 complete matte and 3 matte with shimmer shades in the box. The shades included in the box are really gorgeous and create perfect combination for different looks.The pigmentation of all the shades is ah-mazing. I am really amazed to see how pigmented they are. The texture of these mousse shimmers is really creamy and easy to work with. You can easily apply it with fingers or brush on your eyes. These shimmers don't create any mess/fallout like other glitters or shimmers and thus are great for beginners. All the shades have nice satin like finish which looks gorgeous. I love how easy these are to use.

The staying power of these shimmers is pretty nice too. These stay on my eyes almost all day long. Many shades are a bit hard to remove at the end of the day. However these transfer easily and tend to crease a bit like all mousse eye products if used without a good base or primer. Therefore, I recommend you to use these over powder shadows or with a good primer to avoid creasing. I am glad that these mousse shimmers didn't irritate my sensitive eyes which is a plus for me.

At the end, here is a quick 5 minutes eye makeup look I created using these mousse shimmers. I didn't use any brushes for this look and applied shimmers with my fingers to create this quick look.

Eye Look Created Using Studio Line Mousse Shimmers

Overall, I think these Studio Line Mousse Shimmers are really good for the price. They are great for beginners to who want to add glam to their looks without the hassle of using glitters and loose shimmers. These are super-pigmented, really easy to use and versatile. These do tend to crease a bit and those with oily lids might experience average staying power and more creasing with these. However you can deal with these cons by using a good base and primer beneath. For the price, these shimmers are really good and I surely recommend you to try these.


The Goods:

• Great pigmentation
• Variety of shades
• Creamy formula
• Easy to apply and use
• Do not cause any fall out
• Good staying power
• Versatile
• Affordable

The Bads:

• Tend to crease a bit
• Transfer easily

Price & Availability: Studio Line Mousse Shimmer Pack is available online at Facebook page Reasonablez.com for Rs 850/- only.




Overall Rating: 4.3/5...!!!

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. I am very particular about my hair care regimen and use few specific shampoos, conditioners and other products that work well for my fine and slightly frizzy hair. A while ago I got the chance to try some hair care products by Keune. I have tried and used Keune hair colors many years ago but this was the first time I tried shampoo, conditioner and other hair care products by Keune. Let's get to the review to read about my experience with these Keune hair care products...

Keune Hair Care Products

Keune Care Line Shampoo and Conditioner

 Keune Care Line Satin Oil Shampoo & Conditioner:
Let's start with my experience with Keune Care Line Shampoo and Conditioner. Keune Care Line Satin Oil shampoo is a gentle shampoo that leathers well and cleans the hair efficiently. The shampoo is gentle and is thus great for everyday use. It has a strong chemical like smell though which was annoying for me. The shampoo alone doesn't leave hair feeling very soft and manageable. I feel the need to use conditioner afterwards for better results. The combination of shampoo and conditioner works well overall. However its not the best shampoo for my hair type or for those with oily scalp or very fine hair. The conditioner on the other hand provides good results.

Keune Hair Beauty Serum

Keune Hair Beauty Split Ends Serum:
Split ends prevent our hair from growing further and make the hair look dull. The Hair Beauty Split Ends Serum by Keune is a nice product for those who have to deal with split ends often. This serum comes in form of capsules and you need to cut or twist the tip of capsule to use it. I wasn't really having any noticeable split ends while testing this product and I got only 4 capsules to try. Therefore, I can not really tell how efficiently it would deal with split ends. However once you apply this serum on tips of your hair, it does leave your hair feeling well nourished and doesn't feel greasy which is a huge plus.

Keune Defrizz Serum

Keune Defrizz Serum

Keune Defrizz Serum:
Since I have very fine and slightly frizzy hair, I was really excited to try this product and I must say it has not disappointed me. Keune Defrizz Serum comes in an attractive black acrylic bottle. This is a nice heat protecting serum that protects hair from damage while using heat tools for styling. It also keeps the hair straight, shinny and frizz free. I love how it smells and leaves the hair smelling nice. Use a small amount of this serum on damp hair and then dry and style your hair like always. It results in smooth, straight and shiny hair. It doesn't weigh the hair down. I also like to use this before straightening my hair and it works well as a heat protecting serum too. Overall, this product is a winner for me.


All in all, I had a nice experience with these Keune hair care products. While the care line shampoo and conditioner didn't impress me much, the serums really worked well for my hair and I am loving them. I definitely recommend you to try the range of hair care products by Keune. They have different products for all hair types and there is something for everyone.




Price & Availability: Keune Hair Care products are available at all leading stores nationwide. Also available online at Saloni.pk. The price range of these products is between Rs 500-1500.
