Pond’s Pure White Facial Foam has the technology of activated carbon that attracts deep-seated “black” dirt caused by impurities, oil, and makeup to reveal a pure white you. It is the first of its kind to be formulated with activated carbon, which works with “black attracts black”. Carbon when heated or “activated” becomes 8x porous; hence, increasing its ability to detoxify and gently exfoliate dead skin cells while retaining the needed moisture.
I really liked the idea of my skin being gradually detoxified of impurities by a daily facial wash. Plus I’d read a little bit about activated carbon being taken internally to treat certain problems, such as poisoning, though this information is not something I can personally attest to. It just seemed interesting to try to see if there would be any benefits of using this on my skin. I also liked the sleek, all-black packaging!
The facial wash is a pearly grey colour, is creamy with no exfoliating beads, and is mildly scented. I generally like this product.
PROS:
1. I find the slim black tube it’s packaged in quite sleek and pretty.
2. Affordable at approximately Rs.230 for 100g.
3. I like that it doesn’t have a strong scent.
4. Seems to dry out some pimples.
CONS:
So far , i have not found any negative point in it.
I am using it. Found it best :):) xxxx
Its price is Rs. 230.
Use it in morning and at night before going to bed. Best for oily skin.

BornPrettyStore !!! Hello Kitty Stamping Kit by HINA NAZ !
I have got my parcel few days back , just loving it :):) xxxx
Bornprettystore sent it to me for review. I got it in about 2 and half weeks.
The Hello Kitty & Floral Stamping Nail Art Kit W/ 3 pcs Nail Stamp is a beginner's kit which contains all the necessary things needed for us nail lovers to do simple and cute nail art on our nails via stamping. Here's a photo of what the kit looks like.
The stamping kit contains a stamp and a scraper (both in pink), 2 stamping plates (Hello Kitty and Floral) and three bottles of nail polishes (red, green and blue.)
f you have absolutely no idea as to how this thing works, you can always read the instruction at the back. I must say that I am quite impressed with the instructions on this product, because unlike most China products, the written English is almost perfect and is very much understandable.
Instructions on Nail Stamping
Prepare the necessary things you will be needing (i.e. stamp, scraper, nail polish, nail polish remover and the stamping plate).
Check if your base nail polish has already dried because you wouldn't want to mess up your nails.
Choose the design that you want from the plate. Apply a small amount of nail polish on the design, making sure that the whole area of the design is covered.
Grab the scraper and scrape of excess nail polishes.
Using the stamp, quickly stamp it on the plate so as to make the design transfer on the rubber stamp.
After checking that the design has transferred to the stamp, you are now ready to stamp it on your nails. When it has dried up already, apply a top coat.
The stamp and scraper that came with the kit comes in a pretty pink color which I absolutely love. The scraper has a plastic finish, and so I doubt if it will last long.
The kit also contained two stamping plates.
The prize of course is another thing. Its actually very very cheap, and you also get free shipping. That's what I love the most about Born Pretty Store <3
So if you guys want to try nail art stamping, I definitely recommend this stamping kit to you. Its very much affordable because it retails for only $8.77.

Born Pretty Nail Art Lovely Hello Kitty Stamp Template DIY Kit Swatches and Review by HINA NAZ :)=D
Born Pretty Store offers an array of nail stamping items that are easy for a novice like me to work with.
The stamp on the left is a butterfly, but it’s one fluttering sideways so it’s a little hard to tell. The middle is grapes, I chose that because of the shade of the polish.
he image plate has nine patterns, and it does have a protective clear plastic cover, which you’ll need to peel off before use. Once you remove the coating, apply a bit of the stamping polish to the pattern of your choice, and use the scraper to remove the excess. Take the stamper and roll it over the polish that is on the pattern so that it transfers to your stamper. Quickly place the stamper over your intended nail and roll the pattern on. Add a top coat and VOILA!
I have got this one from @bronprettystore.

Lashem - Double Trouble Mascara - Review By Hina Naz
Three days back i got my parcel.It was so nicely packed.
What the site says:
Let your lashes do the taking with our infamous Double Trouble Mascara! Now you don’t have to choose—use the volume wand for a long and bold voluminous effect and use the length wand to expand your natural lashes. The lengthening fiber mascara helps extend to the tip of the lashes without clumping and doesn’t irritate your eyes. Extend those lashes for some double trouble fun!
BENEFITS:
Define and smooth lashes for an even application without clumps.
Flexible cotton fibers wrap around each lash like a tube to help thicken and curl lashes.
Build length for an instant lash extension effect.
Nourish and hydrate for longer, thicker, voluptuous lashes.
Volume fiber enhance lash growth for a bolder look.
Formula is easily removed, which is great to use on sensitive and fragile lashes.
Directions:
For best results, apply the volumizing black mascara first, and then finish with the lengthening fiber black mascara for those Double Trouble lashes.
Price: $19.99 for 0.20 fl. oz / 6 ml
Formula: Standard mascara texture
Coverage: Full coverage
Wear: Last all day and through the night
Shade Info: Available in Black
Cost: $19.99 for 0.20 fl. oz / 6 ml
Availability: Available at www.lashem.com
Packaging: Double ended mascara tube
My Rating : 10/10
This is a nice mascara for everyday wear but then again one might not be willing to shell out that amount for an everyday mascara. If you have medium length normal lashes like me you can give this a try. If you have very thin lashes then it won’t give the desired results.

Himani Boroplus Healthy Skin Advanced Moisturising Lotion
Today, I’ll be sharing with you my views on Boro Plus’s advanced moisturising lotion which contains badam and milk cream. Read on to know what I like and dislike about the same.
Ingredients:
Extracts of Chandan (sandalwood) 1 g, Nimba (lemon) 1 g, Ghritkumari (aloe vera) 1 g, Tulasi (basil) 0.40 g, Haridra (turmeric) 0.30 g, Hriber 0.50 g, Khadir (part of acacia tree) 0.150 g, Kumud (white lily) 0.150 g, Gulab jal (rose water) 1 g, Malai (milk cream) 0.10 g, Grape seed oil 0.10 g, Olive oil 0.10 g, Badam tel (almond oil) 0.05 g, Kesar (saffron) 0.005 g, Tankan amla (boric acid) 0.80 g, Base Qs.
Directions To Use:
Apply it all over the body, morning and night.
A preventive, curative and healing ayurvedic lotion for dry skin diseases, minor cuts, wounds, chapped skin and cold sores.
Product Description:
Its unique, advanced moisturising formula penetrates deep into the skin and heals dry skin from inside. It replenishes moisture and forms a ‘moisture shield’ on your skin, which leaves you with nourished, soft, smooth and healthy skin. It is enhanced with natural goodness of pure malai, badam, rosewater and saffron.
Packaging:
It comes in a sturdy, white plastic bottle with a green flip-open cap. The packaging makes it travel friendly and very convenient for usage.
Color and Consistency:
It is white in color and fairly thick in consistency.
Fragrance:
It has a strong, pleasant fragrance. Sandalwood dominates the fragrance.<3 class="separator" div="div" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Experience with Himani Boroplus Healthy Skin Advanced Moisturising Lotion:
The lotion is very heavy and thick. It is not so easy to spread and apply it, mainly because it is thick.However, once applied, it gets absorbed quickly. I was not expecting this from the lotion. I thought it will take a while to get absorbed, but I was surprised to find that it gets absorbed within minutes!
However, it makes my skin greasy post application and the greasy residue remains for an hour or so, which according to me, is the biggest drawback of the lotion. It did make my skin soft. That propelled me to use the lotion again, despite the oily, greasy feeling. So, I used it the next day or rather, the next night. I woke up with really soft and smooth skin. The fragrance was as fresh and as strong as it was the night before.
Its easily available in market.
I have bought it paying Rs. 250.
