Review: KENROSA Shampoo ║ تجربتي: شامبو كينروسا

Hello.. Sorry I havn't posted anything in a while.. Anyway, today's post will be a review of KENROSA Shampoo
هلوو.. سورري من زمان مانزلت شي من زمان لأن بدت الجامعة وكان عيد.. المهم، بوست اليوم عن شامبو كينروسا


I bought this shampoo because it looked interesting, it didn’t look like any of the other shampoos on the shelf, with it simple packaging and vibrant colour.  
It had no description nor claims so I didn’t know what to expect from it, but the “BERKELEY PERFUMER" made it sound fancy ;P
أشتريت هذا الشامبو لأنه لفت إنتباهي، شكله كان غير عن الشامبوهات الثانية، لأن علبته كانت جداً بسيطة ولونه زاهي.
ماكان مكتوب مواصفاته على العلبة فما أدري شنو أتوقع منه، لكن الكتابة اللي عليه “BERKELEY PERFUMER" حسسني شي كشخة

طريقة الأستخدام: قم بترطيب الشعر وتدليكه بقليل من الشامبو حتى تتكون طبقة كثيفة من رغاوي الشامبو، ثم اشطف شطفاً كاملاً وقم بتنشيف الشعر.

Smell: the smell is unique, not floral nor soap-y, and I think it had hints of jasmine but that might be just me

Tag: H&M lipgloss ┋ تاق: ملمع شفاه من اتش اند ام

عدنا ^.^

وهذا البوست الثاني تعويض عن أمس: قلوس (ملمع شفاه) من أتش اند ام.
and this is the second post: H&M lipgloss

هذي ثاني مرة أشتري قلوس من عندهم، أول مرة شريت كنت واقفة أنتظر أبي يدفع وكان زحمة ع الكيشر، فقعدت أطالع عند المكياج وخذيت واحد، ماكنت متوقعه منه أي شي، بس قلت يلا أجرب.. وأنصدمت منه لما رجعت البيت، فيوم رحت أتش اند ام مرة ثانية سيدة رحت لقسم المكياج وكانو مسوين عليهم عرض فخذيت 2، وهم اللي بسوي عنهم رفيو اليوم.
This is the second time I buy a lipgloss from there, I got the first one when I was looking at the makeup section, while my dad was in the que to pay, I wasn't expecting anything, but I thought why not ?.. and I was surprised when I used it, So the next time I went there I went straight to the makeup section and saw they were on sale so I grabbed 2, and these will be reviewed today


Product Description: Moisturising lip gloss with a sweet fragrance.
وصف المنتج: ملمع شفاه مرطب ذو رائحة حلوة.




Price: real price is $2.65, but I got it for $1.33 because it was on sale.
السعر: سعره الأصلي دينار، بس كانو مسوين تخفيضات خذيته بـ500 فلس.

 Size: 7ml
الحجم: 7 مل




Packaging: transparent lipgloss packaging with a patterned cap - they change the design often, but the product is the same - The lipgloss has a soft doe foot applicator.
العلبة: علبة قلوس شفافة عادية، و الغطاء فيه نقشة - كل مرة يغيرون النقشة اللي على الغطاء، لكن الغلوس مايتغير - الفرشة فرو مثل باقي فرش القلوس.


Smell: Yummy, the red one smells like Extra sweet watermelon gum, the other one smell quite similar but with hints of vanilla and marshmallow.
الرائحة: لذيذ، الأحمر ريحته مثل علك أكسترا اللي على بطيخ، والثاني مثل الريحة بس جاي شوي على فانيلا ومارشملو.

Texture: like lipgloss ? it is somewhat thick, kinda gooey and a little bit sticky but it is very pigmented, and it have tiny glitters, not very glittery but it makes your lips look prettier.
الملمس: مثل القلوس ؟ صاير ثقيل تقريباً، دبق شوي ويتلصق بس مو واجد، ولونه واضح، وفيه لمعة شيمر صغار، يعني ما يتلامع واجد كأنك رايحة سهرة، لا لمعة بسيطة حلوة تصلح للأستخدام اليومي.


Pigment: This lipgloss is very pigmented, you can use it without lipstick (that's what I do).
اللون: هذا القلوس لونه قوي، تقدرون تستخدمونه بدون روج تحته (هذا اللي أسويه).

Shades: The red one is called Red Dawn, It is a wearable shade of red, leaning toward maroon. I never tried wearing it over a lipstick because it is very pigmented, this is actually one of my favourite lip products, mostly I dap two dots on my lip and blend it with my fingers, it makes my lips look healthy (: 
The other lipgloss is called Nude Rose, it is nude rosy colour, I don't like to wear this one alone because light coloured lips makes me look sick, I like to wear it on dark coloured lipstick to lighten them or wear the lipsticks that have ugly colours (e.g. pale orange)
الدرجات: القلوس الأحمر اسمه رد داون (red dawn)، درجته تصلح للأستخدام (مو أوفر)، لونه أحمر توتي.  ولا مرة أستخدمته ويا حمرة لأن لونه واضح، وهذا القلوس المفضل عندي، عادتاً أنا أحط نقطتين على شفتي اللي تحت وأوزعه بأصبعي، يطلع لون شفايفي صحي وطبيعي :)
اللون الثاني أسمه نيود روز (nude rose)، صاير لونه نيود (بيج) مايل للوردي، أنا ما أحب أحط حمرة فاتحة على شفايفي لأنها تخليني أبين مريضة، أحب أستخدم هذا القلوس على الحمرة الغامقة شوي لأنه يخليها أفتح، أو أحطة فوق الحمراللي لونها غبي (برتقالي فاتح) يتغير لونها.


Staying Power: hmm.. around 7 hours ? It doesn't budge when you drink, and it holds well when you eat (just don't wipe your mouth), but it does leave marks on your cup/straw. (also keep in mind that I lick my lips a lot- I know it's a bad habit >.< - which means it might stay longer on your lips)
ثباته: أممم.. حوالي 7 ساعات ؟ يقاوم إذا تاكلين وتشربين (بس لاتمسحين الفم بمنديل)، لكن يخلي أثر على الكاس/العود.
(وترى أنا من النوع يلحس شفايفي طول الوقت - أدري أنها عادة سيئة >.< - بس يعني إذا ماتسوون هالحركة بيكون ثباته أطول)


Pros:
- cheap
- very pigmented
- sweet smell
- doesn't taste weird
- long lasting
- they keep changing the cap design every few months, and I find it fun to collect them :)
- stays with you for a long while, because a little bit goes a long way.
مميزاته:
- رخيص
- فيه لون واضح
- ريحته حلوة
- طعمه مو كريه
- مايطير بسرعة
- كل فترة اتش اند ام يغيرون الغطاء، حلو حق اللي يحبون يجمعونهم.
- مايخلص بسرعة

Cons:
- kinda sticky
- small variety of colours
- leave marks on your cup when you drink.
عيوبه:
- دبق شوي 
- عندهم ألوان محدودة
- يترك أثر على الكاس إذا تشربين شي


Repurchase: yes, I already have 3.
أرد أشتريه: أي، شريت ثلاثة للحين.

June favourites

Hello, long time no see ~

sorry I didn't post for so long, it is because I am working now (this is my first job :]), and also it is Ramadan so I have no power to do anything since I am fasting, but here is the overdue post of June monthly favourites 





  •  Jergens Smoothing Aloe Skin Comforting Moisturizer: this moisturiser is amazing, it really hydrates the skin and leave it looking smooth for a long time, it gives the skin a healthy glow which I love because my skin is so dry (I should drink more water). what I love the most about this moisturiser is that it is not sticky and the skin absorb it really fast, so you don't have to worry about your clothes getting dirty. in addition to that, this moisturiser have Aloe and Cucumber in it, wich cools the skin and reduce irritation, which I adore because dry skin = itchy skin >.<

  • WATER FIX hair lotion: hair lotion ? interesting huh.. I got this because I ran out of my frizz-control hair spray, since my hair is curly and dry, I can't go out of the house without putting something on it, or I'll look like a lion, which is not attractive at all. for only 700 files ($1.86) this things will give you smooth healthy looking hair without frizz, because it not only control frizz but it hydrates your hair, and it helps in getting rid of tangles. this is the best thing I've ever used in my hair 

you can tell which one I love the most right ?

  • LOOK lip color: I bought these when I was in KSA, they had so many colours on display I didn't know which one to choose, so I got 4 of them. what I like about this product is that it is a lip crayon, which is really convenient because you don't have to worry about it melting, or be careful when you get it out because it might break. the texture is creamy and it doesn't dry your lips, it doesn't smudge easily and you can layer other lip product over it without getting their applicator dirty.
sorry for the blurry picture
from left to right: 314, 356, 353, 350


  • L'CHEAR Budding Pink-Heart 8-color painting eye shadow: this is what I bought when I went pet fish shopping. lol. but it was worth it, because this is the best eyeshadow palette I've ever got. the quality is perfect and it only costed me 1 BHD ($2.65). the eyeshadows are very pigmented and they are not chalky, and they don't crease, also the staying power is really impressive, they stayed for the whole day even thought I rub my eyes a lot.
but unfortunately, it fell down and break.
  • essence stay natural concealer: essence is an affordable brand with good quality makeup, but unfortunately in Bahrain you can't find it easily. good for me they sell it near my dad's workplace so he can pick up what I want on his way back from work :) for a long time, I used BB cream in place of concealer, the result were good but not perfect, and recently my dark circles became worse and I got an acne scare on my chin which I hate, and BB cream wasn't working for me anymore. so when I saw the essence makeup stand in Red tag I immediately checked the concealers they have, and I got number 03 SOFT NUDE, which matches my skintone and brightens my face, I even use this as a highlighter because it looks natural but gives your face a beautiful glow, it doesn't crease and it is very long lasting, it stayed on my face for 2 days (I was too lazy to wash my face) and it still looked nice.

  • L'CHEAR Shiny Lip Gloss: recently I've been loving lip glosses, and when I've seen these in the market I got them immediately, not to mention that it costed me 500 files ($1.33) for both. they don't smell yummy, but they are still good, these are very pigmented and creamy, and even though they don't moisturizer the lips, they don't dry it which is very good, because lip gloss normally makes your lips very dry. these will fade when you eat and drink but the good thing is that they stain your lips a little so if they fade you won't have pale lips, but there will still be a hint of colour on them which is perfect because I never re-apply my makeup (laziness).
number 3, number 2
here are the swatches, the lower is how it is applied normally, while the upper ones are when you smudge them and blot them with tissue paper.

So these were the products I loved in June, and hopefully I'll be able to keep doing monthly favourites.
See you :)

Review: Revone Shampoo


Hola !

It have been ages since I posted on my blog :(
I was busy with college and my camera had no batteries, but I am back and have a product review :)
This is going to be a Shampoo review, I bought this one yesterday because my previous shampoo isn't working anymore (my brother started letting his cockatiel out and I am allergic to it, my whole body-including my hair- became very itchy itchy, and I was so desperate I used CYTEAL Antiseptic foaming solution - it cured the extremely bad allergy on my leg- and I washed my hair with it. the good thing it that cured the allergy from the cockatiel, but the bad thing is that it made my scalp very oily to the point that sebum can build up overnight and in the morning I would find a beige coloured layer covering my scalp.. sorry for disgusting you)
Anyway, Since head&shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo didn't work at all, I went out and bought another one, it is by a Turkish brand called Revone cosmetics, I never heard of this brand before and I couldn't find anything about it online.
Revone Shampoo for Thin and Oily Hair

Product claims:

Size: 400ml



Packaging: white bottle with flip top
Price: 0.800 BHD ($2.11)
usage recommendations: Apply to wet hair and rinse with warm water. for getting best results, use Revone Shampoo frequently.

suds, it was hard to make them
Pros:
- this one have a really nice smell, it doesn't smell soapy like other shampoos, and the smell stays in your hair for a long time :)
- cheap.
- cleans hair very well, with one wash all the sebum/dandruff in my hair have disappeared.
- doesn't make hair as frizzy as other shampoos do.
- makes hair very soft.
Cons:
- It kills my curls (my hair is actually 2C but, it can look like 3A if I keep twisting it while it is wet. but if I lie down/lean back, or if I roll my hair in a bun, my curls would flatten and look like 2A).
- It somewhat strip the moisture from hair (I am not sure this counts nagative, my sster didn't have this problem, but since my hair is actually dry and not oily, this makes it shine less).

Repurchase: yes, but probably for normal or dry hair.
Rating: 4.5/5
