Ingredients:
My take:
Packaging simply lovely pink tube. Don’t we all love when we have simple products with packaging in bright colours in our vanity? Just lifts my mood. Hehe.
So the packaging is sturdy the brush is the standard mascara brush. It has matt finish and it is thick non dripping mascara.
I have used it for about 3 months. Finished all of it and only then I am ready ti give its review.
Al in all great for everyday use. Little steep on the price (when I checked the price online). Nothing that cannot be lived without.
Just a good everyday pink tube to have.
Pros of the mascara:
• Matt. Good for everyday use.
• Smudge proof.
• Waterproof.
• Single coat does the job.
Cons of the mascara:
• Nothing special really. No length or visible thickness of my lashes.
Will I buy it? NO!

TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation range.
New York fashionista’s favourite hair care brand – TRESemmé launches its latest salon innovation – the TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation range.
Emerging out of this growing salonisation trend across the country, born in a salon, TRESemmé introduces the specially designed Hair Spa Rejuvenation range. Together with a gentle massage on the scalp, it gives the benefit of a hair spa in the comfort of your home.
This new range is infused with marine mineral complex, essential nutrients and a fresh fragrance. The TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation shampoo cleanses hair leaving them freshly scented. It also prepares the scalp and hair
for the next step in the regimen.The TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation Massageable Conditioner is infused with hydrating marine mineral complex and helps soothe the scalp. It contains a nourishing blend of vitamins along with conditioning actives that protect hair from external traumas. Along with this, it contains ingredients like Helianthus Annus Seed oil which provides deep scalp nourishment. Antifungal and nourishing ingredients like Zinc Pyrithione and Lysiene have scalp barrier strengthening properties. For a rejuvenating experience, the conditioner is especially designed to massage the scalp and moisturize the hair. This prevents it from tangling, making it softer and smoother.
Regular conditioners VS the TRESemmé Massageable conditioner
Usually conditioners are applied to hair and then massaged from midlengths to tips. TRESemme’s massageable conditioner is meant to be applied both on the scalp and lengths of the hair. Infused with marine minerals and essential nutrients, it penetrates the scalp leaving it nourished and moisturized to look beautiful. The TRESemmé massageable conditioner for your scalp gives your hair body, with the freedom to style your hair the way you like.
The TRESemmé Hair Spa is a ritual. Diana Penty, TRESemmé brand ambassador now swears by it to pamper herself. “It is very easy to get trapped in a stressful routine working for long hours. It leaves me tired and my hair dull and extremely lifeless. Earlier, I had to take out time for long hair spa sessions at the salon but now thanks to the new TRESemmé spa range, I can unwind, de-stress and rejuvenate at home!”
Available in Shampoo and conditioner at a Retail store near you
Now this time they have come up with an Instaglam box for the Rakhi season to celebrate the special ‘brother-sister’ bond called the ‘Celebration of Bonds’ box.
Shades Available: Pink, Coral, Red
MRP: Rs.750/- (with products worth Rs.895/-)
Its a box with your basic essentials which are:
A Shade of Maybelline Glitter Mania Nail Paint (Pink Champagne in the Pink Box)
A dash of kajal, liner and lip gloss is what all of us use even on a regular basis. And the latest Glitter Mania nail paints were the perfect thing to add in the box ! An hint of bling completes the celebration box.
Colossal Kajal is a classic, a good glossy liquid liner is another must have. I absolutely love the High Shine Lip Gloss range, one of the best in India. And Glitter Mania nail enamels are again an hit. The shade in this box ‘Pink Champagne’ is by far an universal favorite and I believe the widely sold too 😀
I think its a box all girls can use, coz not many use blush/mascara but a kajal or lip gloss is what every girl would use/carry along in her bag 😀
It makes a perfect gift, not only for sisters but also your girlfriends 😉 Nah, for any girl actually.
I highly recommend it. One good, value for money, must have box. Not only for yourself, but also to gift someone. At 750 bucks, makes quite an economical gift too 🙂
I did an FOTD with the kajal, lip gloss and eyeliner (created a winged eyeliner).

MRP: Rs. 800/- for 4ml
I am reviewing the shades Red Delight and Desert Rose today.
At first, many would be confused about the name which says ‘Gloss Addict’ and it is actually a lipstick. The range is called Gloss Addicts and the Lipsticks are a part of this range. These are basically high shine glossy pigmented lipsticks.
They come in a pretty silver packaging with a see through cap. The base is strong enough, so no fear of breakage as seen in a few lipsticks recently.
It is super glossy and moisturizing. Well pigmented and 2 strokes give you a full opaque color. It stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a soft tint and reapplying is easy too. You can apply it on the go, unlike a few matte lipsticks which need to be applied properly with patience.
Only issue is does not stay that long and might not cover pigmented lips completely especially the lighter shades like Desert Rose here.
L- Red Delight, R- Desert Rose,
Red Delight is a pinkish red shade with some fine shimmer. This shade would work on all skin tones. And it is one easy to carry red. If you are just starting with reds and don’t want to jump on the bold reds, this lipstick is for you. It brightens the face instantly.
U- Desert Rose, D- Red Delight
Desert Rose is a light rosy pink shade. Would suit medium to fair skin tones. It gives a fresh look to the face and is a good shade for daily wear. But not meant for pigmented lips, as won’t show up much.
And here are these on moi..
L- Red Delight, R- Desert Rose
Pros:
1. Super glossy.
2. Pigmented.
3. Very hydrating.
4. Comes in 15 rich shades and has all pinks, nudes, reds, corals,etc
5. Travel friendly.
6. Easy to use on the go.
Cons:
1. Expensive and the qty is less too.
2. Lighter shades won’t show up on pigmented lips.
Overall, I would say these are good for someone who loves glossy lipsticks. I do. Also these are so easy to use, you can just carry one along and apply it in the car,cab,auto, etc. Very pigmented and hydrating and come in an array of 15 pretty,fresh,wearable shades.
My other favorites are Berry Rose, Plum Perfect (perfect plummy pink) and Orange Candy (a very wearable coral orange).
Rating:
Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 4/5
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Would I buy it again: Yes

Sleek MakeUP Del Mar Volume-I i-Divine Palette Review, Swatches
So after the amazing Sleek MakeUP CC cream, time to review the latest Limited Edition palette added to the i-Divine Range- Del Mar Volume-I
What the Company claims: Create stunning eye makeup with 12 shades of super pigmented eye shadow. i-Divine palettes are suitable for all skin tones adding a touch of stylish sophistication to take you from day to night. Each palette includes a matte dark colour, ideal for definition or perfecting that classic smoky effect.
Get your summer off to a scorching start with our limited edition* Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine palette. Each shade is inspired by the tranquil, calm feel of Ibiza’s chilled out atmosphere, with soft coral oranges of the sunset, deep aqua blues of the sea and sublime greens of the picturesque view.
This brilliant eyeshadow palette of vibrant colours suits all skin tones and complements the bright pastel trend prominent this Spring/Summer 2014
The exclusive packaging captures the essence of the warm sun and mellow Balearic beats floating into the breeze
MRP: $11.99
How to: Get creative and blend contrasting colours together or mix shimmers with matte shades. Each i-Divine includes a classic matte dark colour, great to perfect that classic smoky effect.
Shades:
1st row:
Lounge Lovers– Satin finish n*de gold
Poolside– Matte Sea Blue
Sunset Strip– Matte wearable warm orange
Ambience– Satin finish purple
Chilled out blue– Matte white
Marlin– Matte Teal Green
2nd row:
Opening Party– Satin finish bluish purple
On the Rocks– Satin finish coral
Talamanca– Matte n*de brown (for blending and transitioning colors)
Feel Euphoric– Satin finish peachy pink
Baleric Beat– Matte Lime Green
Paradise– Matte Lilac
There are more matte shades in this palette..and though they look bright in the pan, they are quite wearable and easy to carry shades. Also, not all mattes are chalky and some are very decently pigmented, but some have to be packed on quiet a few times for the desired intensity.
Its a nice blend of colors, and perfect pool party/beach holiday palette. And appropriate for the Summer launch too. I do like peaches and corals and they look pretty good when combined with the right colors. I would not say this palette is a must have, but if you love summery bright colors, then it can be a good addition to your stash !
