The Body Shop Vitamin E Skincare Starter Kit

I went to the Body Shop to buy the seaweed starter kit, I thought it will work better for my skin but I ended up buying the Vitamin E starter kit,I thought it is a wonderful way to try four of the products at once and to check out how well they work together. 

I had acne but now it has all cleared up...I still have lots and lots of dark spots left from acne, due to my skin treatments my skin has been behaving a lot better its not that oily,now my skin is slightly combination, I was looking for products that moisturizes, minimize the pores and even out my skin tone and removes the roughness from the chin and nose.

Vitamin E Starter Kit

It comes in a cute pink pouch which can be re-used as a makeup pouch:) .The  Vitamin E products are suitable for all skin types.The starter kit has four travel size products.

2.Vitamin E hydrating Toner 60ml. view details here

3.Vitamin E moisture Cream 15ml. view details here

4.Vitamin E Night Cream 15ml. view details here

Vitamin E Cream Cleanser:
It is a light weight cleanser, has a nice smell to it,removes  makeup and dirt from face,it leaves my skin feeling super soft and clean, doesn't feel oily and greasy and I didn't get a single break out.

Vitamin E Hydrating Toner:
This is an amazing toner...I used it twice a day and it leaves my skin fresh,hydrated and very smooth,smells very nice, it is a yellowish liquid, denser than water but not too thick,when I apply It I love the feel of it so much that I really don't want to apply anything else!

Vitamin E Moisture Cream:
It is a baby pink cream and its more like a thick lotion in a jar,I find it a  bit heavy and it takes a more time to absorb for a daytime moisturizer,I think this one is better for dry skin but it is not greasy and oily,its just heavy and takes a little bit longer to sink in.

Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream:
This is most possibly the best night moisturizer/Nourishing cream I've ever used,its is also a light baby pink cream,very thick and luxurious but very soft and absorbent when applied,it leaves my skin silky soft and hydrated. 

I could see the improvement in my skin right after 5 days. After 26 days my skin was brighter, even toned,smooth, my skin now feels  hydrated and healthy, all the roughness around my nose and chin has gone...I didn't get a single pimple, which rarely happens when I try a new skin product,overall I have been loving these products, It delivers what it claims.If  I will repurchase anything from this kit it will the night cream and Toner...but I am more tempted to try out other products from The BodyShop. Both creams lasted me for 36 days, cleanser lasted me for 18 uses and I still have a little bit left of toner. I am sure any of this full size product will last for at least 4 months...not bad! I paid Rs.1750 for this starter kit.

Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser.

I have been using Neutrogna wave for quite a long time now and i know its not a new product...i normally don't try such products and firstly, i never knew it is available in Pakistan,when i saw it in Motta's Super Store in Karachi i was surprised at how cheap it was...so i grabbed one.
now here is what Neutrogena claims about this product;

• a revolutionary new power cleanser with two cleansing speeds that will transform your cleansing routine and give you softer,great looking skin after 1 use.
• depending on what your skin needs you can choose gentle daily massaging or deep cleansing.
• speed 1 is for gentle daily massaging ,the soft vibration massage your skin and the tingly lather removes dirt,oil,makeup.
• speed 2 is for deep pore cleansing,feel how the intense vibrations help open pores for a real thorough clean.

HOW IT WORKS: this pretty little gadget comes with 2 weeks supply pad.first remove the plastic lid than insert the battery provided with  gadget and put back the lid....the pads comes

in a plastic pouch,place the pad on attachment head it sticks well with the little dots,hold the power cleanser under running water to activate the pad....there are 2 speeding systems turn on by pressing power button...set the speed as you like and start rubbing the pad on your face.it takes a minute to lather up.you can use it in the shower as well,it is water resistant so water cant hurt it:)

MY THOUGHTS: cleansers don't really comes in funky little thing like this...and before i used this one i always asked myself how these "things" can possibly work on skin!! but now i am addicted to this...i don't use it to remove my makeup,and not everyday just twice or sometimes once a week...but i use it for deep pore cleansing...it doesn't really lather up but this thing does not use its foam to clean face,but use its vibration. the vibration helps stimulate your skin.i use it for more than 5 minutes and it makes my skin super duper clean and soft and it also brightens up my complexion.when i'll run out of the pads i am going to get more...my sister loves it too,it works even better on her skin...its like a mini facial at home and the vibration helps to relax my face....i never knew if i am going to like it this much:) i got it from Motta's Super Store for Rs.995...now the price has increased...its  Rs.1195.
I would recommend this product to others and repurchase it again!

my 3step affordable skin care routine

i have been wasting a lot of money on expensive skincare items and each time they failed me...or maybe i was expecting alot...because when you pay big bucks your expectations are high...anyways it all started long ago when i was in Naheed super market and i saw this clean&clear toner and i thought to give this a try...i used it and loved it so much and later i bought the moisturizer and face wash as well...so here are the reviews...you might want to try them out!!

clean&clear moisturizer,toner and acne cleanser

clean&clear oil controlling toner:
it claims that "it removes oil and dirt which clog pores and it contains ingredients to help prevent blemishes".
 i have been using this toner for about six months now...it has a fresh minty smell.. doesn't smell like a  typical astringent...i damp a cotton pad with this toner and clean my skin,it removes oil,dirt and makeup as well and my skin feels soft,clear and fresh without getting  over dry..i have noticed a visible reduction in oiliness ever since im using this toner.


clean&clear oil free moisturizer:
it claims"the oil free formula without moisturizes the skin greasiness,does not clog pores and help prevent blemishes".


thank God i have found this....it has a lovely fresh slightly fruity smell.it is white in color the texture of the product is smooth and non oily...i apply  a pea size amount of this on my face and pea size on my neck...it takes a minute to get absorbed in the skin...since i have oily and pimple prone skin i used salicylic acid base face wash that dry certain parts of my skin especially my jaw area...ever since im using this moisturizer my skin has become soft and smooth makeup blends easily..it keeps my skin radiant looking....i totally love this!!


clean&clear acne clearing cleanser:
it claims that "it cleanses thoroughly into pores,removes oil dirt and impurities that causes pimples,help prevent development of new pimples ,reduces discomfort from acne irritated skin".
it has a minty fresh smell and it is blue green in color....unlike other acne face washes it doesn't dry out my skin..it makes my skin soft,fresh and well hydrated without a feeling greasiness.it really reduces the itching and pain that pimples caused me...but i would not recommend it for serious acne it is more suitable for those who gets frequent pimples due to oil and dirt in skin.

the combination of moisturizer and toner had reduced the oiliness,blemishes from my skin...this moisturizer and toner is made in Thailand. moisturizer Rs.165(125ml,large bottle) toner Rs.85 (50ml,small bottle) and cleanser Rs.125 (50g,small tube)...
