THE SYEDA SISTERS: Beauty Review

GOSH Donoderm Skincare Range!

10/23/2019

Hello gals!

You all know how much we love talking about GOSH Cosmetics on our blog & every time there is something new in stores by GOSH we make sure to review it over here just so you guys can grab them off their kiosk at your nearest stores.

This time we have a super special review of GOSH skincare range- GOSH DONODERM.

Yes you heard it! They have released their AMAZING skincare line and we can’t get enough of it. As always they sent their recent releases to us so we could review them and let you guys know whether they’re worth buying or not, we wanted to use it for a few month and then update you’ll.

So let’s begin with the most talked about product in the industry:

GOSH Donoderm Micellar Cleansing Water:

So as we all know Micellar cleansing water is the best thing that ever happened to our makeup and skincare industry. It’s an all-in-one product and for a lazy girl like me who doesn’t religiously follow a skincare routine this is the best way to clear off makeup and look refreshed in a jiffy. Micellar technology works by pulling away all the impurities like a magnet through a Miceller which is a molecule that captures dirt and lifts away oil and makeup without any harsh rubbing leaving your skin hydrated, light and refreshed. Oh and it also reduces shine and visible pores*. Isn’t that amazing?! this one is a keeper for me.

Key Ingredients-
*Cytobiol iris A2
*Vitamin A+E+F

GOSH Donoderm Cleansing Mousse:

So if you’re the type of person who likes to wash their face after removing makeup or cleansing their skin cuz you just don’t feel satisfied without washing, then this product is for you. This cleansing mousse regulates sebum products and removes makeup leaving the skin perfectly clean with a Matt finish. It’s easy to use thanks to the pump applicator that oozes out soft foam which is ultra-gentle to the skin (a plus point for all the sensitive skin gals and guys out their!). It also leaves a subtle clean fragrance after wash. Gosh Cleansing mousse also has the ability to reduce shine and visible pores.

Key Ingredients-
* Eversoft

GOSH Donoderm Hand and Nail Cream:

Ok so what good is a skincare line without any hand/nail cream in their range, yeah? Luckily GOSH did add this product to their range and we are in love with it. Gosh hand and nail cream is an intense conditioning treatment that relieves signs of ageing and moisturises dry and rough hands and nails. It’s a very light weight cream and absorbs well without leaving any sticky hands or nails (Phew!).
It’s formula is super cool. It’s packed with Vit E, C , Shea butter and Niacinamide that all help to strengthen the nails and protect the skin from ageing. I have a feeling this Gosh Hand and nail cream tube will not last very long in our home hehe, it’s going to finish in no time.

Key ingredients- *Vitamin E
*Vitamin C
*Niacinamide
*Shea butter

GOSH DONODERM 24h Moisture Gel:

We love moisturisers in any form. Our skin is dry all year round and is super dry during winters so we really like this one. The formula is a what excites me the most- Hyaluronic acid, Liquid sea minerals and Vitamin A,E, YASSSSSS! That’s one nourishing formula kids. Gosh 24h moisture gel hydrates and smoothens the skin texture. It’s weightless and gives a luminous glow after application. It’s a pressed serum (a hybrid of a serum and moisturiser)providing up to 24 hours of soothing hydration. It cools and refreshes skin and is suitable for all skin types. Perfect for skin prep before makeup and helps smoothen skin for flawless foundation application.

Key Ingredients-
*Sodium Hyaluronate
*Liquid Sea Minerals
*Vitamin E

That’s it for today’s review. I wonder if we’ve intrigued you all enough to go and get one or all of of GOSH DONODERM skincare collection products. We’re not going to lie when we say we will be using each of these products because we genuinely love their formulas etc.

Till our next post take care and Assalamualaikum!

Launch of L'Occitaine at The Avenues!

4/23/2018

Assalamalaikum World!

First we'd like to specially mention that this blog post marks our 200th Published Post! *OMG!* I cannot believe we've come such a long way!

Today we're showing you all around the newly opened L'Occitane branch in the Avenues Mall, Bahrain. We were invited to the launch with this super cute invite as per below:

Now for what happened... we reached on time before a lot of guests which was great as we could mingle, look around and taste a few refreshments and unwind before beginning the coverage. Once the chief guest H.E Ambassador of France (who by the way is a very down to earth and sweet lady) Ms. Cécile Longé followed by Hala Almoayyed arrived, the ribbon cutting ceremony took place subsequently they both said a few words in regards to L’Occitane Store Launch and about Bahrain & France Trade friendship growing by the day.

Following a photo-op, we were all invited to go into the store and explore the extensive product range. Their store staff is very well trained and they make exploring much more easier as they know what to recommend to everyone according to their skin types.

Let's begin the tour!

This was so cute!

As you can see in the images below, they have a vast assortment of products ranging from scents to skin care (Face, Body and hand) they have products as well as individuals for men and women. They also have an anti-aging line hence it's essentially a one stop shop for all our skincare essentials.

We have a detailed coverage in our Highlights Section on our Instagram (@thesyedasistersblog) check it out if you haven't yet you might enjoy it!

According to occasions they update the below gift sets area and if there'e no occasion they still have it set up with very desirable gift set combinations so when you visit be sure to check this section out!

Gift Sets Area.

They also have a special area dedicated for mini facials that are done using their product so you can test them out on your skin and how they react to your skin before you purchase them.

Right before we left we were offered a some delicious desserts as refreshments which made the perfect sweet end to the evening and also a goodie bag! If you'd like to see what we received in this please check out our post on our Instagram (@thesyedasistersblog)

All in all it's a great store the price is higher compared to other OTC products of course but then there's a higher quality tag involved too so it's justified as far as I understand.

Lots of Love,

REVIEW: Olor Deodorant Spray!

7/17/2017

Assalamualaikum Girls!

Hope you all are doing well and enjoying the monsoon season all over Pakistan. Today I'm reviewing a much awaited product and I've been wanting to review it as soon as I got it, but Ramadan happened and right after Eid college resumed which meant pulling all nighters and popping out of bed at 6 am after having a few hours of sleep the night before. Anyhow now that I finally have sometime in my sleeves (lol kidding got a week full of presentation from Monday) I'm going to give a short and precise review of the Norwegian brand Olor Deodorant spray that was sent to us by the ever so kind peeps at Olor Pakistan

We've reviewed Olor 24 hours protection deodorants before too, you can read our previous review Here .

This time Olor is back with a a whole new look plus a whole new range of scents and new Brand Ambassador. We received Preet, romantic red and peachy pink from their new range. So let's begin with the review:

Olor-Peachy pink

This is a fun spray designed for a day out at the beach. It smells fruity but not very strong which is good, because some fruits scent tend to make me nauseated so i love its light light fruity smell. I would def wear this everyday!

Olor- Preet

OK! Can we please pause for a moment an appreciate the packaging of Olor Preet deo spray. It's super cute! I love the tribal pattern, it def caught my attention when I first saw it. It smells like baby wipes honestly, i have a horrible way of explaining scents but i find baby wipes scent Amazing, so if you've smelled those in your life then that would help to imagine it, hehe! It also has a touch of floral scents which is quite refreshing.

Olor- Romantic Red

A rather very strong scent i must admit! It is fruity but a little too much for me. This is perfect for a night out or if you're into intense smelling perfumes you might like this one.

So my favorite from all of the Olor Deodorants would be the Peachy pink one. This is the type of scent i will spray on when I need a burst of freshness after a tiring day at college.

Olor 24 hours protection deodorant comes in 150 ml metal container with a plastic cap for Rs.218 and you can find them at all leading stores around Pakistan.

Hope you all liked today's review. Stay tuned for some more In sha Allah. Let us know if you've tried any of Olor Pakistan deodorants and if yes then which one?

Beauty Review

Bottega Verde NEW Olivo Range!

5/07/2017

Hey Girls!

We're always talking about the Italian Brand Bottega Verde on our blog, Facebook, Instagram and sometimes Snapchat as we love almost everything about this Brand.

As usual they surprised us with a big box filled with goodies of Bottega Verde NEW Olive range named OLIVO- Formulated with the finest extra virgin oil straight from their own farms and fields in Palazzo Massaini in Tuscany. The new natural line is designed to provide intense nourishment and moisturization to meet demanding skin needs.

As you can see we got a few products which are specifically for mature skin (above) and maintenance of it as well as products that can be used by all skin types(below) since it's all natural - no worries about sensitive skin or any reactions!

Olive has been a key part of skincare since ages. I remember our grandma used to give us olive oil massages when we were babies cuz it has so many benefits from moisturizing the skin to keeping us warm in the cold winters. Also, on the side note, it tastes amazing as a dressing on hummus and salads here in the middle east & the pickled olives, ufff, ok I should stop and jump to the review instead of moving off to cuisine land and back to blogging land, where we are going to show you the products unboxed as below:

For Mature Skin

For All skin types

This product below is made up of 100% olive oil as you can see on each product they've mentioned the percentage content of Olive that has been used.

This has been going on for two months now and I'm sure it'll last me a long time look at the quantity!

Our mum has been using this cream (as shown below) for nourished toned skin that's designed for mature skin. I honestly can feel a difference in her skin tone after she started using it very even toned. It's gentle to the touch and smells wonderful just like almost all the products at Bottega Verde!

This has also been used by mum as it's facial oil for mature skin. She's loving it! Even though it's a facial oil it very solvent so it doesn't leave the skin feeling oily at all!

This I've been using this body butter because it's for normal to dry skin and I have dry skin issues more so in summers! So perfect timing to be using it just FYI it leaves my skin moisturized and smooth and it's not at all oily it absorbs into the skin and it's 98% olive oil so I don't mind it at all!

Part of this post is also on it's way so stay tuned for our review of the other goodies we got in this generous package by the wonderful team over at Apparel and Bottega Verde!

To know more about their latest additions and offers kindly follow them over on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/bottegaverdegcc/

Lots of Love,

Drink plenty of water & take care of your skin with natural products like these!

Review & Swatches of Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Heures

4/23/2017

Hey girls!

Spring is here, maybe, i think so. Anywho, I've been swatching some lipsticks over the weekend and I can't get over how pretty these Reds lipsticks are by Bourjois Paris they released Bourjois Rouge edition 12 Heures recently and we were lucky enough to get 4 shades of their collection to review and swatch for you guys on our blog by Team Bourjois Middle East.

What they say about Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Heures:

BOURJOIS’ ROUGE EDITION 12HR LIPSTICK IS A MAKE-UP BAG ESSENTIAL MADE WITH A LONG-LASTING, SILKY FORMULA FOR 12HR WEAR WITHOUT THE NEED TO REAPPLY!

The pure laque pigments create intense colour in a semi-matte finish.The formula is non-drying and enriched with shea butter for extreme comfort, leaving your lips feeling soft and extra moisturized!

Packaging:

Bourjois Rouge Edition has a black case with red cubicles at the bottom resembling the lipstick shade they hold.These can be kept upside down for easy reference when you need them or right side up if you're all OCD like me. It's got a easy twist-able base like your average lipstick. I love how the bar codes are shaped in a different manner compared to the typical bar codes, Cute.
The black cap fits on well and doesn't budge or fall off unnecessarily so travel friendly.

The Shades:

Team Bourjois sent us 4 shades :43 Rouge your Body, 44 Red-Belle, 45 Red outable, 46 Burgund it.

Yup, we are equally in love with there names, so perfect and relatable to their actual shade.

Sneak peak at the shades?

We'll go through them one by one , scroll on:

Swatches you ask? There you go.

Overall Review:
Since all of these are made of the same formula and I've used and loved all of them I'm writing an overall review about them. First, the formula not glossy not matte it's in between, a very lovely decent formula for people who don't like hassle. As for the long lasting part - this lipstick can stay put for a really long time, through meals chatter and just the whole working day basically. Plus the variety of colors are apt and so many that they'd suit any skin tone I feel but you should go to the sales counter and try it before purchasing but I'm pretty sure you'll find the perfect one for you.
