Dr. Rashel Black Peel Off Mask Review

Hello guys,

I am very choosy about skin care products for me. Because my skin is very dry, and I don't want to loose my skin's moisture by using wrong products.
I mostly use home made remedies for my face and hair specially when it comes to face masks and hair oils. Because I know what works best for me and believe me my home made remedies work more effectively as compared to any other branded products.
I am always looking for products that provide proper hydration to my skin. I always notice how my skin feels after using any skin related product, if it hydrates than it is for me and other wise it is not.


Today I am reviewing black peel off mask by Dr. Rashel. I mostly use home made masks for my face. I have some black heads only at the tip of the nose and I clean them regularly by using black head removing tool, and it serves best. These black charcoal masks are at the rage these days and every one is using them. So I also wanted to try one for myself but not for black heads. I wanted one that could hydrate my skin besides removing any  impurities or clogged pores.

Let's start with packaging. It comes in a card board outer packaging. Mask is contained in a squeeze tube with a flip cap. It is very convenient to squeeze out the product. The cap closes tightly and there is no leakage of the product at all.

The mask has a soft consistency, neither too thick nor too thin or liquidy. It has a bit flowy consistency. But still it doesn't flow or leak out of the cap.


You can apply it on the specific area of the face like nose , forehead or chin. But I apply it on my full face. Here is a tip. Before applying such masks you should steam your face so that pores get open. In this way you can get maximum results and the mask will take away all the impurities from within the pores as well.
After patting dry my face I apply it in thin layers on the face. It feels wet as soon as you apply it. As the time goes on it starts getting dry. I left it on my face for a good 15-20 minutes and then i pull it from the edges of my face. It is very easily removed after getting dry. Wash your face afterwards to clean any residue.

After removing I could see a few white heads on the peeled mask. As I have mentioned earlier that I use black heads removal tool to remove black heads from my nose tip area, and it is the best method with 100% results. So my face doesn't need much clean up. But It did a decent job in two ways. First is that it didn't make my skin dry and secondly it brightened up my face.


You can see in pics where I have removed mask from my hand , that area is neat and brighter from the rest of my hand.

I cannot say anything surely about it's black head removing claim, but
it really brightens up my face and gives the skin more neat and fresh look. Secondly it does not make my skin dry after removing the mask. So it is also a plus point.

Overall it does perform a decent job, but if you have a lot of black heads or problem skin that it will not give 100% results. Definitely I will not purchase it again and I will stick to my home made masks that are all natural and result oriented.

What is your favorite mask for your skin type? Give your feedback in comments section.
Take care.

Essence Long Lasting Lipliner In Shade 01 "Ready For Red" Review

Hi everyone,

Do you think a lip liner is unnecessary? Think again! This makeup tool instantly transforms your lips, and amps up your lip game to a whole new level. In my opinion It is  a must-have for two specific reasons ;
*if you want more definition
*if you like your favorite lipstick to stay on for a longer time without bleeding.


Essence is a Germany based makeup brand and  well known for budget friendly and quality products.

Today I am talking about essence long lasting lipliner in shade 01 "Ready for red".

Let's start with packaging. It comes in a sleek retractable tube. The colour of the tube is same as that of the shade of the liner, which is very good because it is easy to pick the liner among many others placed in holder or bag. Over the colored body , brand name, shade and other details are written in silver font. The pen is easily retractable. I like these retractable pen liners because if extra bullet is twisted out then they can easily be twisted back. One more thing I like about it is that there is no need to sharpen them. The cap closes tightly with a click sound unlike liners that have loose cap and when they are put in hand bag or travel bag, they are ruined if the cap slips away from the pen. So I will give full marks to the packaging.

The bullet is round in shape. The texture is very soft and creamy. It is easily applied on the lips, no tugging or pulling at all. Formula is light weight.Due to it's creamy texture it feels soft and doesn't feel dry and tacky on lips. But I always use lip balm underneath because of my very dry lips.

The shade 01 "Ready for red" is a beautiful red shade. I use it both as lip liner and lipstick. Sometimes I also apply it underneath red lipstick to get more staying power and more vibrant shade.

It doesn't make lips dry but if your lips are dry like mine then I will suggest you to scrub your lips and apply lip balm prior to applying it. The pigmentation is very good. One application gives good colour payoff. Layring gives more vibrant colour. It gives a very nice matte finish.

Staying power is also good . It stays for around good 4-5 hours if you don't have any meals or drinks. It transfers if you eat any oily meal. But it doesn't fade away abruptly or at once. Rather it leaves behind a mild stain that looks natural.
In a very reasonable price around (PKR 200 don't remember exact price) you get a very good lip liner that has a lot of pros and just one con in my opinion and that is it doesn't survive heavy meals.

I am really happy to get essence lip liner and will get more shades soon.

Have a good day.😃

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Cream Wash Review

Hi everyone,
Hope all is well at your end.

Today I am sharing my thoughts about a face wash. I purchased it quite a while ago and after using it now I can share my experience with you guys.

Neutrogena is a very well known brand around the world. It is an American brand and many dermatologists recommend it's  products. Today I am going to review cream face wash from their skin care range.

The product claims that it is formulated with micro clear technology that deeply cleanses the face and makes it soft and clean.


Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit cream wash

Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit cream wash comes in a squeeze tube packaging. The pink and white colour of the packaging makes it attractive. It is convenient to use and travel friendly. There is no leakage from the tube whether placed upside down or laid down position, so you can easily put in your hand bag or travel bag.


The product inside is of pale pink colour. The texture is thick and creamy. I apply it on my wet face with moist hands. And massage gently all over the face for 2-3 minutes. After that I rinse it with water. During rinsing I rub my face with hands to get all the residue off.

During massage I can feel a cooling sensation on my skin that gives instant freshness. Due to it's creamy texture it slides easily all over the face. While massaging I can feel my skin is getting soft and hydrated. It doesn't feel oily at all. After washing, my skin is all clean and soft. It has a very mild pleasant smell that lingers for a couple of minutes after washing.

I am in love with this cream wash. Because of the fact that my skin is very dry in any weather conditions and it is super dry in winters. Even after washing my face with plain water for ablution my skin feels stiff and dry and I am in desperate need to apply moisturizer to make it behave well.
But believe me after washing with Neutrogena creme wash my skin doesn't get stiff or dry, rather it feels soft and smooth. I can feel that it starts hydrating my face the time I start massaging. It means that it does not strip away natural oils from my skin, and hydrates it during wash process, that is a biggest plus point for a face wash.My skin neither feels oily nor dry after washing. I am really hooked to it.


The price of this cream wash was around PKR 1100. I don't remember it exactly because I purchased it almost a year ago. Price might be different these days. I got it from D Watson. I know it is on pricier side but worth each penny. If you are not on a budget and looking for good face wash options then do give it a try. I am sure you won't regret it. I am definitely going to purchase it again once it is finished.


That is all about it. Give your feedback in comments section.

Have a great day.😃

Makeup Revolution Blushing Hearts Triple Baked Blusher In Peachy Pink Kisses

Hello everyone,

Hope you are having a good time.


Today I am sharing my thoughts about one of my favorite products from makeup revolution. Makeup Revolution is an internationally renowned brand.It is a budget friendly and cruelty free UK based brand. They claim that they do not test their products on animals at any stage.  I really love all the products that I own from this brand.
Now without further ado let's start today's review.


MUR blushing hearts blusher in peachy pink kisses

Makeup Revolution blushing hearts triple baked blusher in peachy pink kisses from their I 💟 makeup range has a beautiful packaging. Let me admit that in fact I bought this blusher just because of it's adorable packaging. It has a beautiful heart shaped card board casing that looks super cute. The packaging is inspired from the too faced sweethearts perfect flush blush.When you open the lid you find a heart shaped pan with three separate strips of blushes. You can use them separately or swirl them, whatever you like. These three colours are in peach, pink and apricot shades.

The texture of this triple baked blusher is very silky and smooth. The colours are very pigmented and there is no fall out in the pan. You can see in the pictures that the finish of this blusher has a sheen just like that of highlighter, that is why I am not using it as a blusher, rather I am  using it as a highlighter. The colours in this blusher are perfect to use as a highlighter. Another reason is it's frosty finish that I don't like in blushers but looks good in highlighter. I really love these three shades and use them according to occasion and time. Sometimes separately and sometimes swirl them all with brush and apply.


The pigmentation is so good that a little swipe of brush is enough to cover cheek bones area. I am sure that this product will last for a long time. Whether used separately or mixed, the product shines beautifully. The camera could not capture the true shine that it reflects. And the best thing is that there are no  glitter particles at all. Infact I am in love with it's pigmentation and colour selection. You can say it was love at first sight with colours and packaging when I saw it in store. And I didn't waste a minute to get it. It was unplanned purchase and I never regret it.

I always use it as a highlighter and happy with the results. Lasting power is too good. It stays on forever😃. I mean I have tried it for more than 8 hours and it stays put till last minute. Overall it a very beautiful addition in my makeup stash and I am in love with it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to use highlighters. Because it has so gorgeous shades that can flatter any skin tone.

So, that was all about it. I hope my review can be helpful for you guys. What is your favorite highlighter by the way?
Have a great day.😃
