What the Company claims: Vedic Line Papaya Face Pack

Papaya formulated face pack helps removing blemishes and dark spots.
It also promotes fairness by increasing blood supply to skin.

Ingredients:

How to Use:
Wet skin and apply it liberally.
When it is semi dry, clean with damp cloth or rinse off with water.

MRP: Rs.175/- for 100ml

Since both are from the Papaya Range, I decided to review them together..I also use them together at times..

Both have a yellowish orange tub packaging with an orange cap..they have an overly sweet artificial smell which I did not like..

The scrub is brown in base with black walnut granules for scrubbing…its creamy enough and glides well on the skin..and the mask too has same texture..in fact the ingredients list for both are the same..except for the added walnut granules in the scrub.

It gives a tingling sensation for a few seconds at times but then resides soon.

Pros:

1. Parabens and chemicals free
2. Scrub is creamy enough for use..and does not dry on the skin in between…and same goes for the pack..in fact I like the fact that the pack is creamy and not watery kinds unlike a few face packs.
3. Economical.
4. Good enough quantity.
5. Both helped reduce tan and skin felt refreshed and moist..and not drying.
6. Ingredients include almond oil, clay and aloe vera along with Papaya..all are good for the skin.
7. Would suit all skin types..except sensitive skin..the scrub might be a little harsh for sensitive skin.
8. Shelf life of 3 years.

Cons:

1. The smell ! I hate the overly sweet smell.
2. Vedic Line is only available online.
3. Jar packaging.
4. Scrub might not suit sensitive skin.
5. I am amazed at the same ingredients in both..when both serve different purpose !
6. Contains Phenoxyethanol ! (More harmful than parabens)

Overall I liked both..but I liked the face pack more than the scrub..and for Papaya Scrub..Biotique Papaya Scrub is still my HG ! I surely recommend the face pack though.

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again : Umm..ya the face pack..

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.

Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm Review

BB Creams, Reviews, Skin care, Skin79, , , , , , , , , , , ,
Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm Review
TOTAL SOLUTION BB CREAM WITH 10-IN-1 EFFECTS. Moisture based triple function BB cream takes care of the base as well as colour makeup and allows the skin to look bright and natural without greasiness or feeling tight.

Skin79’s all-time best seller, this product offers a one-step quick-fix for a total of ten beauty grouses. It improves wrinkles, fends off UV damage, nourishes skin, hydrates, builds resilience, protects skin against pollution, controls sebum and acts as a makeup base and foundation.

Its girly pink packaging also speaks to the princess in every young lady, and is a charming acquisition to any dressing table.

Suitable for oily / combination skin.

MRP: $ 28.00 for 40g

Ingredients:

ADENOSINE AND ARBUTIN penetrate deeply to whiten, brighten, iron out wrinkles and give skin elasticity.

OSMOPUR, a patented compound of sunflower, rice bran and ivy extracts shields the skin against environmental stressors.

PHYTO COMPLEX, a potent blend of plant extracts, deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin.

SPF 25 PA++ protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, which burn the skin, cause premature aging and contribute to cancer.

ULTRA-FINE MAKEUP INGREDIENTS with light reflecting properties work as a base to correct skin irregularities and uneven skin tone, while giving skin a natural, no-makeup look.

SKIN79 Features and Benefits

  • Produces a very natural, “no makeup look”
  • Provides perfect coverage like a foundation would but since it’s not as thick, it doesn’t clog the pores
  • Works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer
  • Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes
  • Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin
  • Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
  • Contains UV Protection for healthy skin (SPF levels differ for each brand/product)
  • Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits are also available for some variants.

It also comes in a 15g sleek round hot pink travel friendly bottle..that costs 16$

This Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream is their hot selling and most demanded BB Cream..it is out of stock many a times.

Unblended
Blended

It love the hot pink round packaging ! This sure look pretty in every girl’s stash..it has a light floral smell..not too bothering..it has a gel like texture…and blends easily into the skin with fingers..this works best with fingers..it has a normal easy to use pump dispensor..and one pump is generally enough..unless you want to layer up or cover blemishes.

It has a slight greyish tint..but the color oxidizes a little and adjusts to the skin tone..though I think its more suitable for people around NC/ NW 20-30..gives me a little whitish cast..may be coz of the sunscreen content too..this one is not meant for photographs..

Pros:

1. Feels super light on the skin.
2. Gives medium coverage and evens out the skin tone..especially the redness if you have any..due to acne.
3. Though it mentions for oily to combination skin..it would suit all skin tones..dry skin might need a moisturiser underneath..and very oily skin would need to powder the skin.
4. Adjusts to the natural skin tone.
5. Offers SPF25 PA ++..so would not need a separate sunscreen.
6. It can be layered on blemishes, etc uncovered with a single application, like a concealer..and still the finish is even and smooth..there is no patchiness.
7. Love the hot pink packaging.
8. Gives a dewy finish.
9. Stays for a good 6-7 hours..and starts wearing off later.
10. There is a visible improvement in the skin..after continued usage.
11. It does not transfer on your tissue or hanky once set.

Cons:

1. Gives a little whitish cast..so not for photographs.
2. Has parabens.
3. This may not work for duskier skin tones.

Other than that..I did not find any other con..I am quite loving it..though availability is an issue here..but its available on ebay and many sites online..but there are many fakes..and you have to rely on a site you know sells authentic ones..

Some pointers to check if the Skin79 BB cream is genuine..

L-R: Perforated Tearing, Bar Code, Label
  • Check for the perforated tearing on the box which can be torn and has contents on the inside.
  • Skin79 bar code marking on the box.
  • Black and silver Skin79 untampered label on the bottle.
Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

As an Official Blogger for Skin79 in India..you would see many more Skin79 reviews..and probably even a giveaway 😉

Ralph Lauren Launches the Big Pony Fragrance Collection for Women


I attended the Launch of Ralph Lauren Big Pony Fragrance for women yesterday at their Corporate Office..



We were shown a presentation and more about the collection..and how it mirrors the Big Pony Collection for Men..and has similar four perfumes..and also merchandise portraying similar colors and designs..

More about it..


After men’s line Big Pony Fragrance Collection for Men, Ralph Lauren is launching four fragrances for women as the Big Pony Fragrance Collection for Women. Four new perfumes are available in the same flacon form as the editions for men, with a somewhat elongated and taller body. The sporty spirit and game of contrasts follow the new fragrant quartet for women. The flacons are colored in four various pastel colors and are enumerated.

Ralph Lauren Big Pony 1 for Women can be obtained in a light blue bottle and marked with a green number 1. It is described as a sporty fragrance for courageous and self-confident women. Its composition is created of citruses and flowers and it accentuates luminous grapefruit combined with sensual floral notes of white lotus.

Ralph Lauren Big Pony 2 for Women is available in a pink flacon with a blue number 2, as a sensual perfume for a spontaneous and seductive woman. The composition of this edition is floral-fruity-oriental and provides a blend of cranberry and tonka.

Ralph Lauren Big Pony 3 for Women is a fragrance characteristic for its free spirit. It aims at rebels and independent women. Number 3 is bright orange, accentuated on a sunny yellow flacon. The fragrant composition includes juicy pear and irresistible mimosa.

Ralph Lauren Big Pony 4 for Women is a fragrance with incredible style. Its violet flacon carries a yellow number 4 on its surface. The perfume is ideal for stylish women. It is described as a floral-oriental composition created of wild cherry and violet amber.

The collection arrives on the market in May 2012. Each flacon is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml EDT.
