Jordana Lip Liner Sexy Mauve

Best Suitable For:

All types of lips

Tips & Tricks:

Draw the lip liner along the natural line of the lips. Start from the middle to the outer edges. If you want your lips to look small, draw the line slightly inside the natural curve of the lip. If you want your smaller lips look bigger, draw the line just outside of the natural lip at the outer corners. Don’t forget to blend it well.

The lip liner is in normal pencil form..by 7″ you must have guessed the length of these..they would last quite a long time…easy to sharpen and easy to use.
Sexy Mauve is a pretty everyday berry pink with a little mauve undertone to it. It looks great even on its own or topped with a clear gloss..and works as a base for all pink and nude pink shades.
Pros:
1. Love the color…works with many of my lipsticks.
2. Economically priced.
3. Many shades to choose from.
4. Works good even on its own.
5. Does not bleed.
6. Does not wear off unevenly.
Cons:
1. It may feel a little dry without a lip balm, on its own.
2. Availability is an issue with Jordana.
Other than that I quite like it..and its the only nude pink lip pencil I have for now..I want the  Jordana Easyliners next..

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Launch

Uncategorized, ,
LIZ EARLE SHEER SKIN TINT

It’s a skin thing!

“We have formulated a unique, high performance beauty must-have that delivers great results on all skin types. Sheer Skin Tint is our first step into effortless, easy to wear colour. It’s a skin thing!” Liz Earle, Co-Founder

Our new Sheer Skin Tint is the natural bridge from skincare through to colour. It is rich and creamy like a foundation, yet so lightweight it glides effortlessly onto the skin, blending easily to enhance natural skin tones. We believe in exceeding our customers’ expectations, so just like our award-winning Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, Sheer Skin Tint delivers dependable, visible results for all skin types.

Designed for use all year round, our unique, high performance formulation leaves skin looking dewy, even and radiant, with the perfect level of coverage for every woman to achieve naturally beautiful skin.
With mineral UV protection SPF15, Sheer Skin Tint is also enriched with our own carefully selected blend of botanicals: natural source vitamin E, avocado and borage, to work in harmony with our Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare range.

First time, right shade

To support our ‘Progress not Perfection’ environmental values and our ‘Reduce, Re-use, Recycle’ campaign, when customers order Sheer Skin Tint by mail, we are providing samples of all three shades with each first purchase. This is to help customers ensure they select the right shade, first time – before they open their full size product, which will also help us avoid unnecessary landfill of good unused product.

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint will be available from September 8th 2011.

£21.00/40ml in 3 shades;

Bare (for light skin tones)

Beige (for medium skin tones)

Beach (for medium to dark skin tones)

The Colour Story

Our journey in search of great skin began in 1995 with one simple goal; to create simple, fuss-free, high performance skincare that could be depended on every day, whatever your age or skin type. With that aim in mind we created our multi award-winning Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, which 16 years on, has changed the way women around the world in over 90 countries now cleanse their skin.

Today each and every one of our products continue to be made with the same level of care and devotion. Now we’re combining our heritage with the expertise of a specially chosen team of make up professionals, to create our much requested colour range.

Over the last 16 years our customers have been asking us to create a make up range that gives the same great results as our skincare. As a trusted beauty specialist, Liz has over 20 years of personal experience working with leading international make up artists for TV and photo shoots. Co-founders Liz and Kim also share a personal passion for natural-looking make up at home and work, all of which helps us to really understand what women want from their make up. This has ensured that our exciting next step is everything a woman would want and need: make up that really performs, works in harmony with and delivers the same dependable results as their Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare and looks natural, enhancing rather than masking their skin.

Our island home is the inspiration for the packaging design. Our own unique ‘marine’ colour and shimmering pearl finish reflect the way the warm summer sunshine gently filters down through the glistening, inky depths of The Solent. Our new logo design reflects our evolution into Liz Earle Colour.

How to use:

Apply to forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Blend in with your fingertips. We recommend that you leave around 10 minutes for your moisturiser to sink in before applying our Sheer Skin Tint. A little really goes a long way. For a lightweight look and feel apply a very small amount. Sheer Skin Tint is buildable, so if you want more coverage apply another thin layer, rather than applying more at once.

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint currently caters for light skin tones to medium-dark Caucasian skin tones; it will also be suitable for some Asian skin tones. As we develop the range further we will develop a wider range of shades for more ethnic skin tones.

Himalaya Protecting Body Lotion Review

Himalaya Protective Body Lotion Review

What the Company claims: A daily-use, non-greasy body lotion that moisturizes, nourishes and helps protect skin from everyday damage. Neem, a time-honoured, natural, antibacterial ingredient, helps protect skin. Almond Oil moisturizes and softens while the Oils of Mowrah, Sunflower and Pumpkin Seed help prevent skin from cracking and help maintain the skin’s moisture balance, leaving skin soft, protected and well-nourished.

Ingredients Include:
Sunflower Oil
Almond Oil
Neem Oil
Mowrah Oil (derived from seeds of Bassia Latifolia, also used for candle and soap making and medicinally as an ointment)
Pumpkin Seed Oil

Use Directions: Apply lotion gently all over the body, slowly massaging it in. Best used after bathing when your skin is most receptive to hydration.

MRP: Rs.70/- for 100ml

Its a thick white lotion..takes a little time to absorb and needs to be massaged into the skin..but not as thick as Garnier Body Cocoon..I do not particularly like the smell of it..it does have smell of all the oils it contains like sunflower and pumpkin..though I would not deny the fact that its quite moisturising..

Pros:

1. Its moisturising enough and my skin does not feel dry the whole day after using this.
2. Nice blend of oils in the ingredients.
3. Its economically priced.
4. The packaging is decent enough.

Cons:

1. I do no particularly like the smell of this.
2. It has parabens.

Overall its nice and moisturising..I have no issues except for the smell..I would try the other Intensive moisturising one now which has the cocoa smell :p

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 5/5
Availability: 4.5/5

Overall Rating: 4/5 (0.5 less for the smell)

Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream Review

Uncategorized, , , , , ,
I read about this on Cynthia‘s blog first and was quite impressed with the product..and also that it was only available in UK..and coincidentally my friend was returning from UK around the same time..I told him to get this.

Later Tanveer bought it from Alpha in Mumbai..glad that its available here..in case I need it again 🙂

About Sudocrem: Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream was created almost 80 years ago and has been used by millions of mums, dads and healthcare professionals ever since to treat the sore skin caused by nappy rash.
Sudocrem is clinically proven to help by soothing, healing and protecting your baby’s delicate skin.
Did you know that Sudocrem is not just a nappy rash cream? It can also be used to treat cuts and grazes, sunburn, minor burns, acne and bedsores. It’s a very useful pot to have around!

Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream is gentle, so it won’t sting on application. It can reduce the risk of infection and contains a mild local anaesthetic to soothe pain. It also helps a wound to heal and forms a protective barrier over the vulnerable area. In other words, it’s a very useful tub to keep around the house!


It has also worn many awards as nappy rash cream, best baby care cream and various reader’s choice awards.

Directions for use:

Step 1: Start by putting a little on the tip of your finger – always remember a little Sudocrem goes a long, long way.

Step 2: Gently massage Sudocrem into the skin using light, circular movements (don’t rub, especially if the skin looks sore).

Step 3: When you’re finished, there should be a thin translucent film left on the skin. If the area stays white, you’ve put too much on!

Step 4: Add more Sudocrem to the area as often as you need to.

MRP: Around 4-5 £..Rs. 375/- here for 125g

Ingredients                        % (w/w)            Properties
Excipients                          79.2%         water-repellent base
Zinc oxide, EP                   15.25%       astringent, soothing, protective
Lanolin (hypoallergenic)       4.00%       emollient
Benzyl benzoate, BP           1.01%        pesticide
Benzyl alcohol, BP              0.39%       mild anesthetic, disinfectant
Benzyl cinnamate                0.15%       antibacterial, antifungal

It comes in both tube and tub form depending on the qty. Its a thick white cream which is to be massaged on the affected area so that it disappears and forms a thin transparent layer. I use it only at nights..its a little thick to be used in day time on the face.

Pros:

1. Love how mutipurpose this is..from rashes to acne to mosquito bites..this works on everything.
2. It has a light lavender fragrance which is quite nice.
3. Reduces redness, irritation and pain as it has mild anesthetic too.
4. A little qty is required as less is more with this.
5. Decently priced for a big 400g tub.
6. Dries out acne in a day or two.
7. It has an expiry period of five years..so would last long.

Cons:

1. Availability is an issue with this..you would not find it everywhere.
2. As its a little thick I do not prefer using it in day time.
3. It does not work for scars but then it does not even claim too.

Overall I think this is a must have for everyone..coz its a one stop solution for all the problems. Can be handy for everyone and everything. I quite like it and also the fact that its going to last me long.

Rating:

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

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Would I buy it again: If need be,surely yes !

They have discounts upto 65% off on various brands and flat rates on few items too. Now they have divided brands into VM Exclusive and VM Value which cater to high end and more affordable ones respectively.

I had purchased an RC Polo Club Swaroski watch on 21st July and received it on 8th August. They have all options net payment, card payment and cash on delivery too. It came nicely packed in a box with sponge cover inside too..and also has 1 year guarantee card along with it. The MRP for this was Rs.6500/- and at discounted price it was available for Rs.1000/-

I love big chunky silver watches on girls too..I feel they look smart and sexy..you like them ?

Queen eye pencils have a pretty nice packaging of a slender long white colored pencil with a golden cap. They are in proper pencil form..and easy to use and sharpen.

Brown is a true chocolate brown shade and Violet is a deep purple (eggplant) shade.

How I use them ?

I use them on the upper and lower lash line, also on the waterline sometimes..the way I love using it is on the three fourth outer corners of upper and lower lash line giving a thicker effect and smudging a little at the corners to give that smokey effect 🙂

L- Brown R- Violet

Pros:

1. These are perfectly suited for sensitive eyes and would suit even contact lens wearers.
2. Glide on easily as they are soft.
3. Love the violet shade.
4. Can be used on waterline..does not sting.
5. Does not smudge or spread out much.
6. Travel friendly.
7. They come off easily with any normal cleanser.
8. Brown shade also works for filling eyebrows.

Cons:

1. The staying power of them is ok..they stay for a few hours..but they do not spread out or give raccoon eyes.
2. Not available here..have to be bought online.

Overall they are pretty nice and easy to use..I quite like the violet shade..

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5

FOTD- Lakme ABSOLUTE Makeover

Uncategorized, , , ,
I got a makeover done at the Lakme Fab Lab using the new Lakme ABSOLUTE range of products.

The products used were

Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse
Absolute Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush in a soft pink shade
Absolute Plump and Shine in pink
Absolute Eye Chromatic Baked Eye shadow in light pink
Absolute Flutter Secrets Dramatic Eyes Mascara
Absolute Forever Silk Eyeliner in Blue Cosmos on the upper lash line and Black Last on the lower lash line

These pics are taken after 3-3.5 hours and after travelling..still the make up is quite proper. I loved the Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse..gives a nice dewy finish to the skin and is super light..gives medium coverage which is buildable. And also the Plump and Shine glosses..there is a tint on the lips even after so much time. The Flutter Secrets Mascara felt pretty good too. This range does last quite long if not upto their 16 hour claim.

All the remaining product pictures right here..Sorry there are many pics..

Lakme ABSOLUTE MATTREAL Skin Natural Mousse

I quiet liked its round shaped packaging..and the product looked quite similar to Loreal Matte Morphose..I did try this while getting the makeover..and it felt real nice.

Lakme ABSOLUTE White Intense Wet and Dry Compact


It has a sponge applicator and can be used both wet and dry..the powder was silky smooth to touch..I think its made on similar lines of MAC Studio fix Powder Plus Foundation.

Lakme White Intense Skin Cover

This is not the actual packaging…the actual packaging that it would have is of the one at the centre.

Lakme ABSOLUTE Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush

Lakme ABSOLUTE Creme and Matte Lipsticks

 Lakme ABSOLUTE Sun-Kissed bronzer

One is a lighter bronze with orange undertones and the other is more towards brown undertones.

Lakme ABSOLUTE Moon-Lit Highlighter

 
The highlighter is quite nice..both the bronzer and highlighter were silky soft and quite pigmented

Lakme ABSOLUTE Lip Last

I guess these are the Absolute Lip Last which would later have that brush applicator packaging.

Lakme ABSOLUTE Plump and Shine

Lakme ABSOLUTE Eye Chromatic Baked Eye Shadows

The copper brown one is pretty nice…the light pink one was used on me for the makeover..it gave a barely there subtle effect..but these are shimmery.
