Color Studio Professional Knock Out Eye Marker-Review

Eyeliner comes in different forms like pencil, gel, or liquid. I am not expert in eye-makeup so my eyes are always on eyeliner markers as I feel that they are easy to apply. As far as the colors are concerned , there are unlimited colors but for daily use black eyeliners are the best.
When I was offered discount code voucher from daraz.pk, I ordered color studio professional knock out marker.
Color Studio Professional Knock Out Eye Marker Claims
  • Easy and simple application 
  • Intense carbon black color
  • Specially designed applicator tip provides optimal control and precision 
  • Long lasting wear
      My thoughts and experience
      When I received this eye marker, I sat down for about ten or fifteen minutes and seriously I regretted my decision to go for it. It has a thin tip and I thought I won't be able to use it. I am very bad in applying eyeliners. Once I tried to apply liquid eyeliner and after two minutes my eyes were like someone has punched me. I always call my best friend who is my neighbor too to do this job. Well, when I applied it for the first time believe me I was really pleased with the results. I am a beginner but still it was not much difficult to control this eye marker. It's not intense or pure black so it's better not to expect good  results in a single stroke. I get better results after three or four strokes.

      It's not much difficult to line eyes with it but you need to be careful if you have super oily lids. Sometimes it even bleeds in to lines of lids. In my opinion it's perfect for dry skinned beauties because I super oily skin and I have like 50 50 opinion about this eye marker. I even wore it to a party without a primer and after 5 hours when I checked, there was a light black mark on my eye cover fold. It is easy to remove too as it's not waterproof so I will suggest oily beauties not to go for it especially during summers. Yes, dry skinned beauties can give it a try. Moreover, it's much better to use primer with it. It takes about 1 or 2 minutes to dry so, you need to wait other wise it will end in a mess.

      Easy to remove
      Perfect for beginners

      Color Studio Professional Knock Out Eye Marker-Even after 3 strokes I was unable to get pure black color

      Cons
      Not perfect for oily skinned beauties

      Check the black mark next to white dot ( When I checked my eyes after 5 hours)
      Availability
      I ordered mine from daraz.pk but you can also check other online stores like just4girls, beauty arena and even face book stores. It's price is 450 PKR.

      Recommendation
      In my opinion it's perfect for beginners only. I won't suggest it to professionals. Moreover as it's not waterproof so I will suggest oily skinned beauties to leave it. Dry skinned beauties can give it a try.

      VLCC Watermelon & Bergamot Gentle Exfoliating Face Wash

      It's not easy for my sensitive and acne prone skin to accept new face washes easily. I am still surprised that how it accepted this one as in the start it broke me out too, not very badly. After that it's working like a magic.
      Claims
      Formulated for daily use, this soap free gentle exfoliating face wash cleanses and purifies skin to leave it soft and refreshed. Finely crushed watermelon seed granules remove dead skin cells, deep clean pores and prevent formation of black/white heads while stimulating fresh cell growth. Bergamot extract keeps skin free of germs and problem causing bacteria to give a perfectly cleansed, smooth and problem-free skin.

      My thoughts and experience
      It comes in a white tube which is transparent  from the sides so, you can easily check how much is left. I always use it whenever I do cleansing. As my loyal readers know that I don't do makeup on daily basis so I don't go for proper cleansing daily. I started to do so two weeks ago but it over dried my face so, I left it. Therefore, I use this face wash thrice a week. I only use a tea spoon sized quantity and it leaves my skin super clean. Sometimes, it dries my skin too but I don't face this issue during summers. The best thing is that the expiry date is also mentioned on the crimp. I know ladies who keep on hoarding makeup stuff and even don't bother to check the expiry dates. I am not that kind of person. I always keep my eyes on the expiry dates of my stuff and I throw them into the dustbin , once they are expired. So, this is a plus point that you can easily check the expiry date of this face wash.

      The face wash is white in color and so are the granules. I have very sensitive skin and I never felt these granules harsh. It has a fragrance too which is so yummy and fresh. It's not very much on the stronger side. In the start I used this face wash on daily basis but soon after it broke me out, I started using it thrice a week and believe me I never got disappointed. From the pix you can easily check that only some of the quantity is left. It shows my love for this face wash. It cleans the pores very gently but, it's not perfect for old and stubborn black heads. It lathers very nicely and brightens up the skin. I love using this face wash and I am going to get a new one after finishing this. It's a 150ml sized tube and it's not a wise decision to take it to college, university or even office as it's cap is not sturdy. It can easily open with a little pressure on the tube so don't do this.


      Pros
      • deep cleansing
      • Yummy and fresh fragrance
      • Brightens up the skin
      • Soft and gentle granules
      • For all skin types
      • Can easily check the quantity left


      Cons
      • Only key ingredients are mentioned
      • Not perfect for removing black/white heads
      • It can be dry for dry skinned beauties during winters

      Availability
      I don't remember it's exact price as I purchased it back in 2013 but it's easily available at all leading superstores in Pakistan. If you prefer online shopping then 175ml sized tube is available at Just4girls.


      Recommendation
      Yes

      Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser Mousse Hydro-Demaquillante

      Hi ladies!
      I'm back with my review about my current favorite clinique facial wash. Last month I purchased it so, after using it for about 28 or 29 days, twice a day, I think I am in a position to review it honestly. If you want to know why I love it then read this post properly.

      Claims
      Clinique Rinse-off Foaming Cleanser is a cream-mousse cleanser that gently and effectively rinses away makeup and sunscreens. It gently delivers comfort to skin with soothing botanicals, leaving skin feeling moist, clean, and fresh. Concentrated into a long-lasting formula, it's a great value, too. This ophthalmologist-tested formula is ideal for dry-combination to oily skin types.

      My thoughts and experience
      This is actually a makeup remover but I am using it as a face-wash. It comes in a transparent tube with a screw cap. On the back of the tube it is mentioned that it's for normal skin, instructions are given but ingredient list is  missing. It's thick and creamy and I only use a pea sized amount but after mixing it with water it foams up and cleans the face without being harsh. After using it for a month, even my family and friends have noticed a huge difference. It has made my skin a lot clearer, smoother and brighter.

       I use this every day, twice a day and it's great. Believe me, when I received this cleanser I thought it will last only for 15 days but I was so wrong. It can easily last for 2 months or even 3. You can check the pix. These are the latest pix of the tube, after using it for a month. So, the tube lasts a long time which makes it great value for money. I have even noticed a difference in the size of pores but yes, it's not a big difference ( still for me it counts). Dark spots are slowly disappearing. It doesn't over dry the skin and  it removes oil from face perfectly. Even after 5 hours, I don't see oil on my face. Yes, during winters it can be drying for dry skinned beauties.

      For my readers I also gave it a try to remove makeup and believe me it removed all traces of makeup. I haven't tried it to remove mascara or eyeliner and I recommend the same to my readers. Don't take it near to your eyes. Other than that, It can easily remove foundation, blush and power.

      Pros
      • Lasts for ages
      • Deep cleansing
      • Really efficient at thorough removal of face makeup
      • Makes skin smoother and brighter
      • lathers well
      • No fragrance detected


      Cons
      • Not good for dry skin during winters
      • A  little pricey
