Hello everyone,

I love to do lipsticks or lip products reviews. But, keeping the fact in mind that this is a makeup and beauty blog, I will try to review and discuss all kind of makeup products. So today am reviewing one cute little blusher by essence cosmetics. It is the "Essence silky touch blush" in shade "babydoll".

Essence Silky Touch Blush in Babydoll

I bought this blusher somewhere back in summers from Just4girls when i was looking for a nice rosy pink blush. I actually wanted to buy the catrice defining duo blush but that was out of stock, so i decided to try this one and am glad i did. This blush comes in a cute little transparent round packaging. The packaging is small enough to fit in the bad or purse. On the back you can see the name of the shade, ingredients and other info such as quantity etc.

This blush is highly pigmented. When applied on arm or hand for testing the color is not that dark but you need to be careful when applying these on the face. I always swirl my brush lightly in the pan , then tap the access blusher and then apply it lightly on the cheeks. It has silky smooth texture just like the name indicates and it blends easily into foundation. I have dry skin in winters and this blush never enhances any dry patches on my skin.

Babydoll is a medium pink shade which also has a hint of coral in it. This shade is ideal for light/medium skin tones. It is such a nice pink shade that will suit almost everyone. Babydoll has very fine shimmer in it which doesn't really appear when applied on the face. It gives a silky/satin finish when applied properly, which I like a lot. Here is a swatch of babydoll:

You can see it's such a pretty color. The staying power of this blush is also pretty reasonable. I have been using this blush a lot since i bought this and it stays on my face for about 5-6 hours which is quite good. But I personally think the staying power varies from person to person.

Final Thoughts: Overall, I really like this blush and for the price it's just wow...The shade is great . It's a perfect everyday pink. I wanna try the other shades too. These silky touch blushers are great.  However, the color range is very limited they are available in only four shades. I bought this blush from Just4girls.pk for Rs 440. These are also available on essence counters at all leading cosmetics stores.

Hey there,

Winters are here and lip balms are a "must have" product for everyone in winters. I love tinted lip balms and have tried many different. Today am going to review the "Labello fruity shine lip balms" in two shades "strawberry" and "cherry"...yummm!!! Am reviewing these because i use them almost everyday. They are popular lip balms and are easily available here and also they are budget friendly.


I use lip balm not only in winters but in every season, almost daily. Whether am going out or am at home, they are essential in my daily skin care/makeup routine. Lip balms feel much more comfortable on lips and tinted lip balms provide a very sheer natural tint of color to the lips which i love. These lip balms are great and my favorite daily lip balms. I bought strawberry last year and loved it so much. Then, few months back i bought one more in cherry flavor and love it too.


So let's start the review. These lip balms come in a plastic tube similar to those typical chapsticks packaging. There is enough quantity of balm inside the tube. The packaging is nice and simple. It's small and handy. The cap of the tube is tight. I keep one in my bag and one in my drawer. These lip balms come in different colors. Each lip balm tube has color similar to the actual color of the balm inside.

I have this in two shades,strawberry and cherry. The shade "cherry" is a deeper pink kind of shade, like the original cherry color. It's sheer and has fruity scent in it. The shade "strawberry" is more towards the red side. It's a sheer red/orange lip balm. The color is similar to the color of packaging. I feel that shade cherry is more pigmented than strawberry. However, i love both of them. Here are the lip swatches of these lip balms.

Both of the lip balms are moisturizing and make my lips feel smooth. I won't say that they are the most hydrating lip balms ever, but they are decent and moisturize the lips enough. From the swatches you can see that they do bleed a bit, but that's not a big issue. The staying power of these balms is quite decent. They stay on the lips for about 1-2 hours and then leave a very light stain on lips. Even after the lip balm disappears from lips, the lips still feel smooth and soft.

So overall, i love these balms.They provide a sheer color to the lips and makes them soft hydrated. If you have dry lips or wanna try a colored lip balm you should get one of these. They are super cheap and are easily available at leading stores( Shaheen, D.watson etc. ) here. I bought mine from D.watson Islamabad for Rs 210 each.

Hello there girls,

I recently tried a new eyeshadow trio palette by MUA in shade "innocence" and today am going to share my thoughts on this palette with you. So let's just begin....

MUA Eyeshadow Trio- Innocence

This eyeshadow trio comes in a round plastic black packaging with a transparent cover. The packaging is pretty much similar to the Bourjois Eyeshadow Trio packaging. The packaging is just average in my opinion. However, it is small and travel friendly. It also contains a duo-ended applicator to apply the shadows which is decent. The eye shadows are dome shaped. They look cute in the packaging but this raised shape of eyeshadows cause a lot of fall out and the packaging gets quite messy. On the back of the packaging there is a diagram explaining how to use each color on the eye.


Now talking about the colors. This eyeshadow palette has beautiful neutral shades. The colors of this palette made me fall in love with it. They are very versatile and with these you can create many manyyyy different looks. These can be worn easily for a day time look or you also can use these colors to create a special occasion/glamorous bronze look.

Let me describe the colors in detail.The lightest color is a pale ivory shade which is a great brow bone highlighter. It can also be used on cheek as a face highlighter. I just love this shade a lot. The mid shade is a gold green shade. Again, a very pretty color. It can be used all over the lid or on the crease with any lighter shade on lid. The third color is the most interesting one. It is a duo-chrome shade. It's a bronze brown shade with some greenish shimmer in it. I can't exactly describe the color but it's such a fun color. I love all the three colors in this palette. Here are the swatches for you.
