Artedco Perfect Color Lipstick in '15': Review & Swatches

Assalam-o-alikum (Peace be unto you) my girls!!!

Spring is just around the corner and we want to make best of it. How about putting the colours of spring on your lips? And what can be better than bright corals and reds!!Today I will showcase a similar springy lip colour that you are surely going to like. It's going to be a mini review and the lip colour is Artedco Perfect Color Lipstick in 15.


As I have already did a detailed review on lipsticks by Artdeco, this time I'll be just talking about the color. Artdeco tends to give numbers to their lipstick shades rather than names. Well! Talking about number 15 lipstick, it is a beauuuutiiiifullll coral red, perfect for fall and spring.  It lends an instant glow and freshness to your face. It has a moisturizing formula, which is great as you can flaunt this lipstick round the year without being bothered about the weather. To sum it all, I am in LOVE with this beauty.
It gets a 5/5 from my side.
Hope you liked the lipstick. Do let me know by leaving your views in the comment section below.

Freeman Facial Clay Mask Avocado & Oatmeal: Review & Swatches

Once I had consumed my Freeman Facial anti-stress mask Dead Sea Minerals, I decided to give a try to some other mask. Ohh....standing right in front of the masks' shelf, I found it too difficult to set my eyes off these sooo tempting masks....again by Freeman. After much thought, I settled for two masks from their range. One of them is Freeman Facial Clay Mask Avocado & Oatmeal which I am going to review today.

What Freeman claims this mask does: Nourish and purify with one amazing mask! Rich clay dives deep to purge dust and oils from pores. Nutrient- rich Vitamin E, Avocado and Oatmeal moisturize for lasting skin softness. Skin looks and feels squeaky clean and is soft to the touch. Perfect for normal to combination skin.

My thoughts: This mask carries a set of vocabulary that catches the attention of anyone concerned about good healthy skin. Avocado, clay and oatmeal; all offer many benefits to the skin. Avocado being rich in antioxidants, vitamin C & E, and Fatty acids, not only improves overall health of the skin but also helps maintaining skin's moisture. Clay helps purify the skin of dirt and impurities. Oatmeal in itself can be used in many ways and serves as a perfect face mask. It absorbs oil, lends moisture to skin, is anti-aging and used for acne- treatment as well. Having all these things in mind, I had high expectations of this mask. How did it turn out to be? Read on!
My findings: This mask comes in a beautiful mint green color. I love the texture of this mask as it glides effortlessly on the skin. It takes 15 - 20 minutes to dry out completely depending upon the thickness of the layer applied.

This is how it looks after drying out:

It squeezes the skin tight after drying out which not only tightens the pores but also increases the blood circulation in skin which leads to a younger looking radiant skin. After washing the mask off, my face feels smooth and fresh. Though it absorbs oils from the skin, it does not dry the skin which is great!
I recommend using this mask twice a week. I prefer using it particularly after exfoliation. It feels as if my skin thanks me when I apply it on my face. It soothes my skin and I just love its feel on my face.
Honestly speaking, that's all I expect from a face mask and this one has pretty much lived up to my expectations. And for the price, it's a steal. You get 150 ml of the product for 325 PKR.
It gets a 4.5/5 from me.
I hope this review ends up helpful to you.
