Do you want to feel So....? Desirable

Retweet this button on every post blogger

Then yes this product is for you !!!
It smells exactly like Salvatore Ferragamo's Incanto Charms. This perfume is a part of the So fragrances. Their fragrances include So..? Kiss Me, So...? Wild, So...? Desirable & So..? Sinful.

About the perfume:-
I got it in 20 ml for Dhs 39 (around $11). So…? desirable is composed of musk, freesia, magnolia, apple and mandarin. It is available as 20, 50 and 100 ml EDT and 75 ml body fragrance.

My take:-
I'm not fond of perfumes much but this one has made me fall in love with it <3
I basically wanted a fruity/floral scent for daily use, something not too overpowering yet something which would have a feminine-funky touch to it, something that would define my style & this does an awesome job in it!!
When sprayed at first its quite strong, however it becomes lighter just after a few mins which makes it perfect for a day wear however it's perfect for night wear as well if sprayed more. It stays on me for quite some time. I find the packaging also very cute & girlish with the hot pink cap. Obviously the pink packaging attracted me :P Plus the bottle is so small i carry it with me in my bag everyday.

Conclusion:- Because of its price & girlish scent i would mainly recommend it to teenage girls/ young ladies (on a low budget) as this is one hell of an affordable scent !!

Have you tried any of these So...? perfumes? Are others worth trying like this one? or should I just pass them?

**Disclaimer:- This is my honest opinion. I haven't received this product for free or received any compensation from the company to write about it. This product was bought by my very own hard earned money.

Mikyajy 22K Extravagant Long Lasting Fluid Foundation Review

Retweet this button on every post blogger

I had promised few of my blogger friends I will review some Arab cosmetic brands as well so this is for all you who are interested in knowing how Arab ladies carry a flawless look despite using loads of products on their face!! I assume most of you are totally unaware of this amazing brand. So i will just give you a quick intro about the brand.

About Mikyajy:-

Mikyajy is one of the fastest growing cosmetic brands in the Middle East. They were launched in 1999.In a span of just 10 years this local Arab cosmetic brand has grown to such an extent that one can compare the products of this brand with highest level of European & American cosmetic brands !! It is ranked 29th in the Forbes Arabia Top 40 Arab Brands; an incredible achievement for a brand that was born just 10 years ago!

Review of 22K Extravagant Long Lasting Fluid Foundation:-

Image Source

  

I thought I will start reviewing their basic products first & then move on to other products from their range. They have 2 main line of their premium cosmetics – Sabaya & 22K.

What Mikyajy says about this foundation:-

Finally, a foundation that really does last all day! With excellent coverage, and a silicone base that resists heat and humidity. Suitable for all skin types. 

Quantity: - 35 ml

Price: - I got it for around Dhs. 85 or something. I’m not sure what the original price is, if you know the exact price please do let me know.

Shade I’m using: - 04 Desert Rose

My take on this foundation:-

It really does last all day!! I have used it in extreme heat & humidity conditions & my foundation still remained intact!! So I would really recommend this to you if you live in a really hot & humid city or country. I’m glad Mikyajy really thought about the weather conditions of gulf countries & created this product. I have a combination skin so it really suits me. This is actually a heavy coverage foundation but I thin it out using a water spray with it so it becomes medium coverage for me. The best part it’s a pump foundation!! No need for using different sponges or whatever you do to use a liquid foundation with no pump. I like the packaging also it looks posh with the golden cap & glass case. The only downside of this product is that it contains parabens. They have the following 10 shades available as of now:-

I will be reviewing more Mikyajy products in the coming weeks so do keep a watch out for them J

Boots Angel Rico Facial Polish Review

Retweet this button on every post blogger

you can make out how much i have used from the condition of the pack itself :P 

I'm a HUGE fan of Boot's products. Why?

Because it's a great drugstore brand & you get an amazing range of products (my fav being Soap & Glory and Natural Collection). I was shocked i couldn't find absolutely anything about this facial polish since Boots is such a famous drugstore brand. Its originally a UK brand but you do get most of their products everywhere including India (i saw in bombay not sure you get it in other places too).

Angel Rico Facial Polish is from the Carribean Cocktail collection. I got it in Peach & Apricot Kernel.

Price:- Dhs 10 (around Rs. 127 or 1.76 pounds)

Quantity:- 200 ML

Ingredients:- Aqua, Kaolin, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Meal, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Extract, Parfum.

What it says on the pack?

Face to face with this Caribbean Cocktail facial polish, containing an exotic blend of softening Peach & smoothing Apricot Kernel to clarify your skin. Suitable for oily or combination skin.

What i like about this product?

*I have a combination skin & i feel my skin getting soft & smooth immediately after using it.

*It's basically like a face mask giving a glow to my skin instantly after usage.

*Works as a good facial exfoliator as well

*Works for normal to dry skin also (My mom who has a normal skin loves this product).

*Has a veryy slight peach smell which is not too overwhelming.

*I basically love the fact that i can see its results immediately therefore if i'm in a hurry to go somewhere & notice my skin is looking dull i can rely on this product to get my skin back on track :D

*Is supppperrr cheap. basically i got this because it was just for 10 bucks !! i wasn't expecting such great results for this price but this thing works wonders.

Verdict:- This is my HG facial scrub (that does not stop me from trying other :P) There's absolutely nothing that i don't like about it. I would recommend this product to everyone who can get hold of it. I will definitely buy it again if its being sold at the same price.

Having a problem with big oily pores this summer? Yes, in case you didn't know sun exposure (as well as acne) can lead to enlargening your pores. Want to get rid of these oily pores? First of all eat & drink right. Avoid hot showers & spicy food. To reduce the oiliness & removing pores use sandalwood powder or corn flour after using an oil free sunblock when going out in the sun.
