Lacto Calamine Sunshield: For Oily and Dry Skin

Lacto Calamine Sunshield: For Oily and Dry Skin

Lacto Calamine, a product from Piramal Enterprises’ Consumer Products Division, is one of the most tried and trusted products in the skin care category, makes an addition to its portfolio with its ‘Lacto Calamine Sunshield’. This new product comes with the proposition of a sunscreen suited to the consumers’ skin type, namely through two variants – for oily and dry skin.

Both the variants offer SPF 30 to protect skin from the sun’s harmful UV B Rays and PA++protection, which protects against UV A Rays that cause darkening and premature aging of the skin.

Two variants from Lacto Calamine Sunshield:

1.    Lacto Calamine Sunshield for oily skin comes with the goodness of Lemon extracts, which is ideal for oily skin. The natural Lemon Extracts (SPF 30, PA++) evens out skin pigmentation, and helps control excess oil

2.    Lacto Calamine Sunshield with Aloe Vera offers sun protection with moisturizing for dry skin. The natural Aloe Vera (SPF 30, PA++) moisturizes the skin, protects it and helps retain its glow

Both Variants of Lacto Calamine Sunshield are priced at Rs. 199 for a 50ml pack.

Kiehl’s BB Cream Light Review, Swatches, FOTD

Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream Light Review, Swatches, FOTD

I mentioned about the launch and swatches of all three shades of the Kiehl’s BB Cream HERE

Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream
More than a BB Cream.
Instantly perfects.
Visibly corrects the appearance of skin tone irregularities with daily use.
With SPF 50 PA+++
Available in 3 shades: Fair, Light & Natural.

MRP: Rs.3200/- for 30ml

Active Ingredients in it are Vitamin C, Glycerin and Natural pigments.

Ingredients:

It comes in small sleek white tube with a flip cap..comes in 3 shades..there is not much of a difference between Natural and Light..

Only a pea sized amount is needed..and it gives amazing coverage..not full..but I did say much better than any tinted moisturisers or BB Creams in Indian market..

I love the fact that it has SPF 50 PA+++ and I do not need a separate sunscreen…unless of course where I am going to remain out for long..I did apply an additional sunscreen..

I have the one in Light shade and it works perfect for me..


Here is me with only Kiehl’s BB Cream and nothing else..

Pros:

1. Quite light weight.
2. Good coverage.
3. SPF 50 PA+++
4. Stays for 6-7 hours.
5. I do not need a separate moisturiser under this for now in summers..this alone works well…so no separate 3 things needed..only this and I am sorted.
6. Pores appear smaller.
7. High content of Vitamin C also helps in fading scars and improving skin tone..I saw some difference with regular use..along with Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Concentrate.

Cons:

1. Very expensive for 30ml.
2. Only 3 shades available..not much options for darker skin tones.
3. Kiehl’s is not available in all cities..though you can order them to be delivered.

Overall I would say I do love this..and this works out amazingly well for me..especially in summers..I need only this..and no 2-3 different products…but I would definitely agree this is expensive for daily use..

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

OOTD: White Shirt, Colorful Cube bag, Neon shoes

OOTD: White Shirt, Colorful Cube bag, Neon shoes

White shirt is a classic..and looks good with any neutral jeans like black or blue..here I have paired it with brown jeans..

The shirt has false pockets and golden buttons..and shoulder straps..I like the mandarin collar too..

Since both were neutrals..I paired them with colorful accessories, bright neon orange heels and a colorful cube bag, turquoise blue belt..and a cute love necklace..

Sorry for a few darker pics..the lighting was erratic..and I did not realise :/

Maybelline 24Hr Color Tattoo Bad to the Bronze Review, Swatches, EOTD

Maybelline 24Hr Color Tattoo Bad to the Bronze Review, Swatches, EOTD

Why You’ll Love It
24hr intensity. Tattoo tenacity. Dare to wear our longest-lasting shadow.
Our ink technology creates super-saturated color.
Cream gel smoothes on for vibrant color that does not fade.
In 8 shades.


Expert Tip

For a High impact look – Illuminate. With fingertips, sweep all over eye from inner corner and work outwards. For added drama, darken as desired.


MRP: Rs. 350/- for 4g

It comes in a glass jar with black plastic cap..similar to MAC Paint Pots or MUFE Aqua Creams..the texture is quite creamy and smooth..and it is pigmented enough too..and can also be builded..also comes with a brush along..which is quite good..and works well with these..

On me it stayed a good 7-8 hours with very little fading even without a primer or base. It could have stayed longer but I have not worn it longer than that..These are compared to MAC Paint Pots and said to be quite a good dupe at this price..and I totally agree !

I am always late and running and such 2 minute cream shadows which are super easy to work with and stay all day long are a boon for a person like me 😀

T:1 swipe, B: 2 swipes

Bad to the Bronze is a neutral taupey bronze with shimmer..a perfect everyday shade..can be worn to work or brunch with friends or anywhere practically..its quite a versatile shade..and one that would look good on all skin tones..fair, medium or dusky..

Here it is on me..

Read the complete review HERE

Overall I have no complains as such..coz I love it too much ! Such easy to work cream shadows are God sent for me :p

I love this and Pomegrante Punk..both the shades are complete favorites..check out Pomegrante Punk HERE

Introducing TRESemmé Keratin Smooth range

Introducing TRESemmé Keratin Smooth range for professional salon smooth hair at home

Play it straight with new TRESemmé Keratin Smooth

I attended the new TRESemme Keratin Smooth Range launch in Mumbai 2 days back..and Diana Penty,  the brand ambassador of TRESemmé  unveiled it..

She wore a burgundy Amit Agarwal gown with a spider like jewel encrusted fastener..she looked wayy too thin..I dunno if its her or the gown..but she seriously needs to put on some weight man !

Here is the official press release..

From its origins in salons back in 1974, TRESemmé has always been driven by a simple truth; every woman deserves to look fabulous, like she may have just stepped out of a salon. Used by top hair stylists all over the world, TRESemmé is dedicated to creating salon-inspired, products to help women create their own style and get salon like gorgeous hair at home.

In India, regardless of their hair type, women may often experience frizzy hair. While most women think that hair frizz only happens to those with naturally wavy or curly hair, the fact remains that frizz is caused by moisture-zapped tresses, and can affect any hair type. When hair is straight the cuticle lies flat; however hair experiences frizz when the outer cuticle lifts up, looking like a shingled roof. Natural Keratin protein moisturizes and rejuvenates hair making it more manageable and less frizzy.

TRESemmé understands women’s intrinsic desire for salon gorgeous hair at home. Especially designed for women seeking healthy looking hair and a sleek and shiny style, new TRESemmé Keratin Smooth transforms your hair to be smoother and easier to style. Infused with Keratin it rescues hair from the brink of unruly despair. Containing lower sulphates compared to other TRESemmé products, TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo leaves hair clean, shiny and manageable. The TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Conditioner helps nourish each strand to leave hair gorgeously straighter and shinier than before. In comparison to other non-conditioning shampoos, TRESemmé Keratin Smooth controls frizz for up to 48 hours and transform hair to be shinier and more manageable.


As the brand ambassador of TRESemmé, acclaimed model turned actor Diana Penty shared how TRESemmé Keratin Smooth is the perfect hair solution for her. “When I was approached by TRESemmé to partner with the brand, I was sure that I would only endorse TRESemmé if I was convinced – The brand now has a new addition to its long list of fans! For me, the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth range worked perfectly. I love my straight hair; and therefore frizz can be an absolute nightmare. TRESemmé Keratin Smooth is a quick and easy solution to achieving salon gorgeous hair no matter your hair type.”

Speaking at the launch of TRESemmé Keratin Smooth, Srinandan Sundaram, General Manager, Haircare, Hindustan Unilever Limited said “TRESemmé recognizes the intrinsic aspiration of Indian women to have salon like smooth and manageable hair. TRESemmé is dedicated to address the growing consumer need and bring professional salon like transformation for women at home. Since its launch in India, TRESemmé products have been consistently well received and have successfully carved a niche in the market with its cutting edge salon innovations.”
