Review: Emami 7 Oils in One



কইদিন আগে Agora (Rifles Square) থেকে এই productটা কিনি। খুব যে চুল পরছিল তা কিন্তু না আবার কমও পরছিল না। আর যেহেতু চুল লম্বা করার চেষ্টা করছি সেই উসিলায় এটা কেনা।



First use এ খুবি ভালো লাগলো। আসলেই non sticky. Scalp এ দেওয়ার পর পরই absorb হয়ে যাচ্ছে।  Even চুলে দিলেও। সাধারণত তেল দেওয়ার সময় চুল অনেক পরে। কিন্তু এটাতে হালকা কয়েকটা চুল পরেছে।

Overall ভালই লেগেছে। And I think এটা serum হিসেবেও use করা যাবে। খুবি light weight.

Love the look of the product. Cute.

My thought:
Although I have bought this gel liner months ago, I started using this recently (blame my laziness). The word "Eyebrow" kind of stunned me as I purchased this mainly to use it on my eyes (somehow I missed the word, no wonder I needed to get a glass). But got to know from others that you can actually use it on eyes.

When I first swatch it on my hand, I was disappointed (but I was so wrong to feel that...keep reading).



In swatch, it did not looked matte and it somewhat felt sticky to the touch. Which gave me the impression that it might not be smudge proof after all. I hate when my eyeliner smudges around my crease area. Unless I am going for the smudgy look.

Oh-The-Disappointment

But just when I started using this, my disappointment disappeared. For years I have adored thick eyeliner look. Years! I have tried multiple products to achieve that intense look. Most of the time I would failed to do so. Thick eyeliner on lower lash line would be a struggle. Finally, FINALLY! I found a product that is not only affordable but also delivers what it says. It is matte and super pigmented. And It stays put. And the good thing is, one product is all you need.

This would be my first gel liner (I did bought another one which I had to return as it dried like desert). Now I am totally addicted to using this.


L-O-V-E

I do not think I would be purchasing the famous Inglot gel liner any sooner as I am really enjoying using this. Completely satisfied with this already.

Need to mention few more points to conclude all.

Some major pros:
- I left the lid opened for several hours, I was horrified that I would find this dried out (since a lot of gel liners would). It did not dried a teensy bit.
- It IS long lasting. I ran some water after the swatch, it did not smudged a bit. Not even when I rubbed.
- Since it looks promising (that it would not dry quickly), it will last you a long time. Such a small price to pay either way. Because even if it doesn't, it's cheap so you can get it without saving.

And some cons?
- Don't like the brush. Not like it cannot be used, just need some practice, don't have the patience (yeah, aha, that's the reason).
- It's waterproof so if you're not good at doing wing liner or any type of line, you might consider buying a makeup remover bottle and loads of cotton balls and Q-tips. Trust me these are the lifesaver.

Anyways, I love it. That's all it matters ;)

Where I got this: Rupanzeel Collection
Special thanks to the owner of this page who introduced me to this product.

Mini Review: Islamic Apparel (Online Hijab Shop)

To me, wearing Hijab properly is the real deal.

Today, I am just going to do a mini review on another Facebook Shopping Page and yes as you can guess, it is hijab related.



Since I have a lot of short sleeve dresses (most of which I got it as a gift and some were... ermm just-loved-it-so-much and must-have things happened), I started searching for arm sleeves to cover up the rest of my hand. Thanks to Allah that I finally managed to get them on this page named Islamic Apparel. No, they are not the only one who sells them. But they provide more color option than any other pages I have seen so far.

Picture taken from here

I instantly placed order for four pairs :D

(from left) Light purple, Coffee, Sky blue & Skin color





Me wearing the brown one

I ordered another pair while changing one.

Royal blue





One downside:


As you can see, not all pairs are the same length. And you can not blame the seller since they do not make it. Fortunately they do provide return policy (or was I being too whiny?? D:)
I changed the sky blue sleeves not because of the length (which can be ignored since it will be hidden anyway) but for the color. One sleeve's color looked tad bit different than the other. That could be ignored as well but ever since it was pointed out and it started to look vivid to my mom's eye I had to change it and get a new one. Really.

Otherwise I am happy with the rest of them. And absolutely loved the royal blue color!





P.S.: Loving being fully covered storyofahijabilife.

Review: Dorpon (Online Boutique)

I was wondering what I would write on my first blog post and here it is. A review on a Facebook "shopping" page (yap, bye bye to the concept of "facebook-is-a-waste-of-time" to welcoming "earn-through-facebook" and blah blah. Technology comes to the rescue... yet again).

Anyways, few months ago I bought a lawn from this page called "Dorpon/দর্পন".



I know, I know the word lawn has already gotten a bit irritating now since it's been going on for quite some time but admit it, it's so comfy to wear! I absolutely love the fabric.And not to mention almost every dress will want to make your wallet cry out loud. Like literally.

 This was the lawn I purchased:
Picture taken from here

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Owner(s) of the page: As far as I know, there are two admins managing this page and I happened to meet the one who (fortunately) lives near my home. Based on the brief meeting with her, she seemed sweet and friendly and will make you wanna be best friends forever. Too much?? Gahhh blame the fever (I had at that time) for so much emotions.

Packaging: They provided it in a brown bag where the lawn was neatly folded in a plastic bag along with their shops' tag in it.



Buying method: Although they have mentioned some processes of buying the product (check their "About" section) but I simply sent a message posting the link of the desired dress and asking the pick up point and bought it. They also give you the opportunity to look before buying but I skipped that part as I was too tired and sick and lazy to walk few more distance (don't do that).



 Dress: Loved it! It looked even more beautiful in person than in the photo since the camera does not always pick the color properly. So far the quality looks good. Price is okay. Reasonable at some point.

FINAL VERDICT:
Yes I will repurchase from this page (maybe not now since I have tons of lawns in my wardrobe already).
 
TALK SOME SENSE INTO:
Buying dresses online isn't the best choice to make. Either the size isn't the right or the color looks completely different or the quality is rubbish or there's a slight defect that will caught your eyes after making it, etc. There's no ending to it. Most page owners will fail to give you the opportunity to see before buying and if it doesn't meet up your expectation then you can't do anything about it since the risk is ALL yours. Really.
So when buying products, especially dresses, buy them in person. DO NOT go for courier. But if the page is well known (check for reviews/ratings/comments) then it is okay but it would not hurt to be careful innit?






Disclaimer:  The lawn was purchased by me. These are my own, honest opinions.
