Dove Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum Review



What the Company claims: Hair that appears dry and dull on the outside are actually damaged from inside. To combat this dryness of hair, Dove Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum gives instant nourishment to your hair.

It has revolutionary Vita-Oils that get easily absorbed to replenish essential oils. This instant nourishment smoothens up to 99% of roughness leaving your hair softer, shinier and more importantly damage free.

Directions:

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs. 300/- for 40ml

After reviewing the Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask..the Serum was the last one left for review..I quite loved those three things…and the range in general..how did this fare for me..well read on..

I liked the cylindrical packaging of this with the oval cap..and this is quite thick and sturdy..not one which would break or get cracks on falling. The pump dispensor pumps out the right quantity and does not ooze out too much.

Now this claims to smoothen out 99% of roughness..or give nourishment to the hair…since its a serum…I do not expect it to give nourishment..since we use serums to make our hair appear better and for a fact I do not think serums can give nourishment to the hair.

Though it contains oils..its not very oily and sticky..has a normal serum texture..it has this particular Dove smell..which I quiet like.

But it does make the hair shinier and smoother with less frizz..rainy season and winters make hair very frizzy..and the dryness and frizziness increases in winters especially..so yes this is something perfect for the season..and as it contains vital oils..it does help smooth out the dryness in hair.

Pros:

1. Does make hair shinier and smoother.
2. Controls frizz to a great extent.
3. The packaging is quite nice and sturdy enough.
4. Travel friendly.
5. The blend of vita oils helps reduce dryness in hair.
6. You need just 1-2 pumps…would last long.
7. Like the trademark Dove smell.

Cons:

1. I do not think it can nourish hair as claimed.
2. A little expensive compared to other serums.
3. If used too much..hair can feel weighed down and oily the next day.
4. Contains silicones…which with regular use can lead to product build up.

Overall I do like it..to control the dryness and frizz of hair..and the shinier, smoother effect it gives..would recommend trying it..and in the qty that best suits your hair..

myface.cosmetics Blingtone Eye Shadows Review,Swatches


What the Company claims:

Raspberry Sorbet: She always stood out in a crowd without ever even trying. You’d think that she put a lot of time and effort into her look, but that simply wasn’t the case. She just knew that the magic was in the details, the little touches that made a big difference. Which is why she loved ‘ raspberry beret’ on her eyes; a subtle burst of rich, icy colour that demanded to be noticed and refused to be overlooked.

Purple Haze: After meeting her once, he was charmed…he was taken in by everything about her…but above all, it was impossible for him to forget her eyes – a rich layer of pearl over a delicate wash of sugary purple that was shimmery, sparkling and simply spell-binding.

Available in 15 shades

MRP: £ 9.99

myface.cosmetics is quite popular and widely available in UK and US..blingtone eye shadows and matching blingtone nail chromes are their latest launch and the thing which has become quiet a hit with everyone !

They come in this transparent flip cap packaging..I found it quiet cute..though it does not come with a brush or mirror.

These blingtone eye shadows though shimmery do not have a fall out problem as they are claimed to be made from crushed pearl and pigments. They do not crease and their staying power is quiet good too..the colors are quiet intense..even without a base.

Raspberry Beret is a baby pink with silver reflects and a frost finish..Purple Haze is a lilac purple with silver reflects.

T-Purple Haze B- Raspberry Beret

Pros:

1. Love the silky texture of the shadows.
2. Blingy and shimmery..perfect night time shadows.
3. Though these are shimmery there is no fall out.
4. Do not crease.
5. Staying power is quiet good.
6. Decently pigmented even without a base.
7. Can be used both wet and dry.
8. These are quiet big in size compared to other shadows..so would last forever.
9. Have a shelf life of 36 months.

Cons:

1. These are little expensive for a single shadow.
2. Since these are shimmery..they would look a little OTT during day time…so the use is restricted to night time.
3. Not available here.

Overall I quiet love the texture and effect..and also the staying power..these are quiet good. I quiet liked the shades Black Ice, Spicey and Morrocco too.

They have a New Year offer going on till 31st January 2012 where you get a blingtone Pink Champagne eye shadow free with any £15 purchase.

Deborah Milano 24 Ore Perfect Foundation 03 Caramel Beige Review, Swatches


What the Company claims: Foundation with a silky texture for a sheer, velvety smooth finish. Formulated with Power Stay Complex for amazingly long wear without touch-ups. Beats shine without creating a masky effect. Suitable for all skin types. SPF 10. Hypoallergenic.*

 Available in 5 shades :

MRP: Rs. 650/- for 30ml

It comes in a small glass bottle with a black pump dispensor..and a transparent black cap. The pump dispenses the exact amount on pressure and there is no wastage at all..I quite liked the pump..and the cap fits in tightly too..so there is no risk..but just that the bottle is glass..so has to be handled properly.

03 Caramel Beige is a medium shade with yellow undertones..01 leans more to pink undertones and 05 more to yellow and orange undertones. Though it has yellow undertones..it blends perfectly with the skin without any yellow tones showing up.

It has a slight fruity fragrance which goes away in a few seconds..and it blends in a jiffy…giving medium to high coverage..it does give a smooth finish to the skin..hides imperfections and evens out the skin tone..you can even skip a concealer if you do not have any marks or scars to hide.

After Blending

Pros:

1. Does what it claims. Gives a smooth finish to the skin.
2. Medium to high coverage.
3. Since this is not oil based..it would suit both oily and dry skinned.
4. Stays put the whole day.
5. Minimizes the appearance of pores.
6. Available in 5 shades..and since it has yellow undertones..it would suit our warmer skin tones well.
7. Blends well and quickly.
8. Has SPF 10.
9. Photographs well too..does not give a whitish cast.
10. Gives a dewy finish to the skin.
11. Reasonably priced.

Cons:

1. You need to touch up with powder after a few hours..as there might be some shine..especially on the T zone.
2. Has silicones which gives the smooth finish…might not suit a few people.

Overall I quite liked its feel..and its well priced too..and the yellow undertones match our skin tones too. I think this should be given a try.

Ingredients:

It comes in a black case packaging with a transparent bottom..where the actual shade of the lipstick can be seen. I loved the fact that the majority of the shades are from the pink family. The case is quite sturdy and nice..
The lipsticks are super creamy and pigmented..these have to be handled with care and stored in a cool place in summers if you live in a place with hot climate as these would tend to melt..these are so pigmented that you need just a swipe of color to cover the lips..and the staying power is amazing too..I am quite surprised by these..as they score well in all departments..texture, creaminess, pigmentation, staying power..
04 First Lady is a bright carrot pink shade..now I was expecting it to be a lighter shade of pink but it is quite bright..I am wondering how much bright the other shades like Neon Dahilia and Ultra Pink would be 😀 Though the shade in one swipe can be an everyday shade for me..it does light up the whole face in 2 swipes or more..I quite love the shade and how it brightens up the face..and this shade is so versatile that it would look good on all complexions..whether you are fair or medium or dusky..you cannot go wrong with this shade.
Here it is on me..
Pros:
 
1. I love the texture..these are super creamy.
2. Quite liked the black sturdy packaging with the color of the shade at the bottom.
3. Very pigmented.
4. Most of the shades are from the pink family..there is one pink for each one of you..of your choice..if you trying to find some particular shade of pink..you should check out this range.
5. This shade instantly brightens up the face.
6. The staying power is amazing. It stays for a good 4-5 hours and leaves a pretty pink tint behind.
7. This shade would suit all skin tones.
 
Cons:
 
1. To be stored well..especially in summers.
2. Faces is not available everywhere and though its available online..sometimes it is important to check out the swatches on our own.
3. The names do not match the shades..Fiery Orange is actually a pink shade and French Rose is an orange.
 
No other cons with this..I surely recommend this shade to everyone and you would not go wrong with this shade. The range is worth checking out for bright shades..especially pinks.

•Regenerates, repairs, and replenishes skin for a smoother, healthier skin.
•Works with the skin’s natural nocturnal activity when skin is most receptive to repairing itself from daily aggressors to dramatically restore skin.

Key Ingredients: Evening Primrose Oil is an effective on skin barrier repair and boosting radiance.

Lavender Essential Oil helps soothe inflamed or irritated skin while helping reduce skin blotchiness for a more even look. Creates a brighter and more radiant look to skin.

Squalane is a healing botanical lipid with a high affinity for skin to instantly restore and replenish.

Ingredients:

MRP: 1.0 fl. oz Bottle(30 ml)- $43.00 (Rs. 2750/- here)

1.7 fl. oz Bottle- $68.00

It has this dark blue packaging with a black dipper cap. The dipper helps you get the exact quantity..i.e 2-3 drops of it. I quite liked the packaging..the only thing is since its glass it needs to be handled with care..though the glass is quite thick to break just like that.

The main ingredient being evening primrose oil and lavender oil..it has a wonderful smell..which even helps you sleep better..you just need 2-3 drops of it..and so it lasts real real long.

I am using it from the last 3 weeks and its still almost full. I love the lavender smell..its quite soothing. It does make the skin appear healthier and plumper the next day. Even though its a serum and has oils in it..the texture is not sticky or oily..and gets instantly absorbed into the skin. If you have had a stressful or tired skin of late and need to attend an important event…this thing would help you for sure !

Pros:

1. Quite like the ingredients.
2. Does make the skin more radiant, even toned, healthier and plumper.
3. It even helps in drying out your acne and heal them faster.
4. Though its expensive, it lasts real long as you just need 2-3 drops of it.

8. Would help replenish tired skin.

Cons:

1. Has to be stored well..away from light and handled with care.

No other cons as such..I would surely recommend it..in fact it has been recommended by 93% of people on their site too. I would suggest you to try this..especially if you are a bride to be. And I found it much better than the Lancome Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate which is priced almost double and did not do anything for my skin at all.
