Review:[BARRY M] Color Changing Lipstick

Hello,

I know what you're thinking SERIOUSLY? green lipstick have you gone mad? But this isn't a normal lipstick It's magical.Because it's a color changing lipstick! 

I have been wanting one for ages.They do sell it at places like the dollar store,but I heard a lot of people say that they add lots of harmful ingredients.So yeah I wanted something that was safe to use.I know that a lot of korean make up brands came up with the same idea a while back.But I couldn't find a place that sold the green one.And if they did it was expensive and not worth it.

Then the other day I was browsing ASOS.com and saw this.And I had to look at different boots locations till I found one that sold Barry M,and I finally found it.

I bought it in the shade TMLP 250

Consistency:

I was hesitant to buy this,because I don't like lipsticks.They tend to cling to the try patches,and I have super chapped lips all the time.And I don't like lip gloss because it feels sticky.This lipstick though was nice,because it didn't cling to the dry patches and didn't feel sticky!

Pigment:

I love that's its pigmented! I have dark lips so It's important that the lip product is pigmented 

 Bare Lips+Lip balm

 Lipstick only 

Consistency: 4/5

Pigmentation:4/5

Overall Rating: 5/5

Would I repurchase?

Yes

50 Day Buying Ban

Heyya,

Have any of you noticed what type of posts I do the most? That's right hauls! I am aware that I have a problem so that's why I decided to take action! I buy too much stuff.I'm sure i'm not the only shopaholic here am I right?

I decided to take action by going on a 50 day buying ban.I won't buy ANYTHING for 50 days.Unless of course my parents buy it for me.The only time I'm allowed to buy anything during this buying ban is to get my BFF a birthday gift and thats it.The buying ban is from MARCH 1 - APRIL 19.

Also I'm going on a skincare buying ban until I finish all the cleansers,toners,and moisturizers I own first.I was going threw my stash the other day and I found that I had 4-5 cleansers.The thing is I used them then I got new cleansers and forgot about them.I will be buying lots of skincare in the summer.That's why I want to use up everything I own and save some money.

Anybody wanna join me ?Let's cure of shopping addiction together =))

[Nail Polish Swatch] Chanel Starlet 575

Heey Lovelies,
I decided to start doing nail polish swatches of my nail polish.and If if that nail polish brand is worth the price or not.These type of posts will be short and to the point ! I don't have a huge nail polish collection,but I gotta admit I do have a lot.I have an addiction.Who else suffers from the same problem?I think nail polishes might be my favorite make up products! Today I'll be swatching a Chanel nail polish.Before I bought this I read so many reviews raving about how the Chanel polishes are worth every penny.And that the formula is amazing and yada yada ya..

I bought it in the shade Starlet I love Coral and pink nail polishes.

I wanted to splurge and get myself a gift,because I did well on my exams ! 

Price:115sr($30) from Sephora

My thoughts:

I love love the color.This was my first product from Chanel.However there are lots of cons! first of all I didn't like the finish it was between a creamy/matte finish.I hate matte finishes in nail polishes.Secondly there was nothing special about it than drugstore nail polishes such as Essie,OPI,Revlon,Rimmel... and its way cheaper! 

Bottom line:

Save you're money and just buy OPI,Essie... nail polishes they are the same formula!

Winter Empties !

Heey Guys <3

I' haven't done an empties post in a very long time.I will do my empties post from now on every season,because that's just easier.And I would have time to use up some products.

1-Mong Leya lotion 

2-Himalaya Refreshing & Clarifying Toner: I love this toner,because it's alcohol free,paraben free,and for acne prone skin.It's very gentle on the skin and isn't drying. 

I would definitely repurchase this product again 5/5

3-Nivea Soothing Toner: This was an okay toner.But I didn't like it,because it had alcohol and it made my skin feel a little dry. 

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

4-St.Ives Apricot Scrub: I didn't like this scrub a lot.I bought it because of all the hype that I read about it.But it ended up drying my skin and irritated my acne.So I used it as a body scrub just to use it all up. I also posted an in depth review on this product!

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

5-Olay Moisturizer: My mom got me this a while ago,and it was another okay product.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again2/5

6-The Face Shop Blemish Zero Toner: I'm so glad I didn't but the full size,because it wasn't anything special.But I liked that it was 3 free.The full size of this toner is like $30.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

7-Clean & Clear advantage gel: I love love this product,but sadly it's not sold in Saudi.This is my 4th or 5th tube <3

I would repurchase this product again 5/5

8-Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Wash: I would repurchase this product again 5/5 .I actually already repurchased this if full size.You should also check out my in depth review on this cleanser

Review:[THE FACE SHOP] Baby Leaf Green Tea Oil Free Toner

Hey guys,
I'm back with another review.It's a new product from The Face Shop Green Tea line.A lot of Korean brands have come up with a green tea line such as innisfree.One of the brands that I yet have to try! This was appealing to me,because its made of green tea.I love green tea more than anything! I drink at least 3 cups daily!

Baby Leaf Green Tea Oil Free Toner

Description

☆ Moisture complex(Xanthan gum+betain+Gylcerin)

☆ Panthenol (Anit-inflammatory, moisturizing)

☆ 3,000 mg of organically grown boseong green tea extract

☆ 5 free system (Artifical coloring,benzophenone,minerals,animal derived material,alcohol)  [Source]

Ingredients

                                             

Directions

After cleansing dispense an adequate amount and apply gently along the skin texture.

Packaging 

It comes in a 150ml plastic bottle for 75sr.I really like the fact that it's plastic.Unlike their Aloe toner.I always drop things!Who else has the same problem? or am I the only one? 

Texture & Scent

It's very light and runny like water,but it also moisturizing.It doesn't leave you're face feeling tight afterwards.But you still need to follow up with a moisturizer.It has the signature face shop scent.It smells earth-y.Oh you what it smells like? The clean face cleanser! It's the same exact scent!

Cons:

Contains Parabens

It's more on the pricey side

Pros:

5 free system

Nice scent

moisturizing 

rating:3/5

Would I recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

Would I repurchase this product? 

If the reduced the price a little then yes.
