Avon already has Glimmersticks eyeliners and they are pretty known and famous and quiet good..I had reviewed the shade Nocturnal HERE.
They have launched these Glimmersticks Ultra Brights now..but not sure why the prices increased so much from Rs.259/- directly to Rs.399/- though they are mostly on offers..
Glimmersticks are generally metallic shades or ones with shimmer..these are matte but bright..
It goes on smooth and is quite creamy..no tugging or pulling..but requires layering for the intensity..atleast 2 swipes..not multiple though. Stays on for 6-7 hours before fading off.
Purple Punch is a matte bluish purple shade..
Pros:
1. Pretty brights.
2. Smudge proof and does not spread around.
3. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
4. Mechanical and retractable..so no wastage.
5. Matching shade at the end to identify.
Cons:
1. Needs to be layered twice for the intensity.
2. Only available through an Avon rep.
Overall I liked this shade..but would have loved it more had the pigmentation been better..the previous Glimmersticks were more pigmented..or may be its just this shade..I am not sure..but definitely worth a try..especially on offers.

Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreens SPF50-Hydrating and Mattifying Review
I had mentioned about the launch of these Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreens HERE
What the Company claims: Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen is apt for women with very little or no time to layer their skin with multiple products. What makes this new Sunscreen from Lakmé “super” is the fact that it feels great on your skin and does not leave a white patchy appearance. For the first time, a sunscreen by India’s no 1 brand, Lakmé, is giving you dual benefits. Its sheer lightweight formula gets absorbed so easily that it can be worn alone, over a moisturizer or under your Lakmé 9to5 make-up.
The new Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen comes in two variants:
· Lakmé 9to5 Hydrating Super Sunscreen – for normal to dry skin
· Lakmé 9to5 Mattifying Super Sunscreen – for oily skin
NORMAL TO DRY SKIN- Lakmé 9 to 5 Hydrating Super Sunscreen + SPF 50 PA +++ : Beautify your skin with nourishing vitamins along with broad-spectrum UV protection.
Enriched with vitamins, it helps you reduce spots and lightens your skin tone. SPF PA 50+++ keeps you away from tan and sunburns caused by the harsh sun rays. This summer, acquire a nourished, hydrated and even skin tone.
Contains Vitamin B3 and Provitamin C
Fights against UVA and UVB rays
Hydrating Sunscreen Ingredients:
OILY SKIN- Lakmé 9 to 5 Mattifying Super Sunscreen + SPF 50 PA +++ Prevent your skin from tanning and sunburns with oil control benefits and flaunt an even skin tone.
Specifically designed for oily skin with oil control benefits, its non-sticky formula leaves your skin feeling non-greasy. SPF 50 PA +++ fights against the harsh UVA and UVB rays to protect your skin from tanning and sunburns. Flaunt your flawless even toned skin this summer!
Both come in a beige colored packaging with a golden cap. Both also have SPF50 PA+++ and UVA/UVB protection.
It has the same lemongrass kinda smell that Lakme’s sunscreens have. Both are white in color..the mattifying one is like a thicker cream and the hydrating one is normal..slightly runny lotion.
I have used either/or/both and in all possible ways..like only this and only that and both in combination too..for my oily T-zone the mattifying..and for rest the hydrating.
Both are non sticky and did not sweat me out or anything like a few sunscreens do..mattifying one needs a lot of blending as it leaves a whitish cast behind.
I have worn it under makeup and there were no issues at all..I love the texture of both of these..mattifying one does really control oil !
Hydrating one also has Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and Provitamin C which also helps in lightening dark spots, etc.
And the best part is, it helps in controlling tan too..I have been out in scorching heat,wearing this, a few times..and I did not get tanned at all..
Though, I would agree its slightly overpriced..I mean it could have been priced at around Rs.350-400/-
Overall, I would say I like them..how non greasy and light weight they are with the sun protection they offer and protect from tan too. I would recommend the Mattifying one for oily skin and the Hydrating one for dry skin..and for combination skin like mine..Mattifying for summers and Hydrating may be for winters..

Maybelline The Colossal Kohl/Kajal Turquoise Review, Swatches, FOTD
So, if you follow me on my facebook page or Instagram, you must have seen this already ! The new Maybelline Colossal Turquoise Kajal..I had done a look with it..I received it in Feb but since I was supposed to be hush hush about it before, I was mum :p
Ok anyways, now since its officially launched and you can lay your hands on it too..let me review it for you guys..
What the Company claims: Go all out with glamourous eyes in the most exciting Colossal Kohl- Turquoise which LINES like a kohl and DEFINES like a liner. Turquoise kohl is a refreshing twist on the conventional black kohl and a must have fashion and beauty accessory. Here’s why you’ll love it:
Provides 12 hours of smudge free turquoise intensity
Color doesn’t smudge or fade
Enriched with nourishing ingredients and Vitamin E to soothe the eye
Features a unique tip that glides smoothly for an even application
100% suitable for your eyes
It comes in the same yellow retractable pencil packaging as the Maybelline Colossal Kajal Black..only with the metallic blue script on it..
Since turquoise blue is perfect for summers, Maybelline came up with this shade..
Its a metallic turquoise blue shade with some minute shimmer..I would not say its as pigmented as the black kajal..though its smooth but needs to be layered for the color to show up.
Also its a little soft and breakable..
The color stays for a good 6-7 hours on the upper lashline but on the lower lashline, it stays for 2-3 hours..before it fades off..there is no smudging or flakes issue.
Here I have done a winged liner with it on the upper lashline..and connected it to the lower lashline..and used the black Colossal Kajal on the waterlines..
And an FOTD :p
Pros:
1. Nice bright summer color.
2. I like the fuss free, travel packaging as the black kajal..with the metallic blue script.
3. Pops up the eyes.
4. Is smooth to use…no tugging.
5. Stays for 6-7 hours on the upper lashline.
6. Does not smudge or flake.
Cons:
1. Not that pigmented..needs to be layered.
2. Does not stay longer on the lower lashline.
Overall, I would say its a nice refreshing change from the usual blacks and browns..also this bright blue is actually perfect for summers for popping up the eyes. Definitely worth a try !

A lacquer finish that’s beyond brilliant. Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 8 collectible, craveable colors
EXPERT TIPS LIPS: For a polished and perfect lip look, apply foundation on and around the lips before lip color. Foundation helps to prep the lip area for a more flawless application and helps lip color last longer.
MRP: Rs.800/- for 2.7g
Shades Available: 8
Vivacious
Ingenue
Whimsical
Flirtatious
Tease
Coquette
Enticing
Coy
I guess Demure and Provocateur are not launched in India.
Both these Lacquer Balms and the Matte Balms launched together..see the review and swatches of the Matte Balms HERE.
Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms come in a beautiful glossy metallic packaging. These are glosses in the form of lip crayons..super glossy but still pigmented.
The composition of three butters Shea, Mango and Coconut make these super hydrating and moisturising..
They are quiet light in texture..you do not feel like you have applied anything on lips..feels like a lip balm. These are quiet pigmented..the swatches are just one swipe..and after the glossines fades away..the color stays for more hours..especially the deeper colors like Vivacious here.
These have the same peppermint smell like in Kissable Balm Stains and Matte Balms. All of the shades have super fine minute shimmer which is not even visible unless seen very very closely..but this helps giving the shades that glossiness and high shine.
L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious
145 Ingenue is a perfect MLBB shade for me..a nude brown..its an everyday shade.
130 Tease is a beautiful coral orange..it looks amazing on warm skin tone..my favorite of the 3..also wore it HERE.
120 Vivacious is a pretty rosy pink (None of those fuchsias or blue undertone pinks)
Here are the swatches..
T-B: Vivacious, Tease, Ingenue
And here are they on moi..
L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious
And an FOTD with Vivacious..
Pros:
1. Super glossy.
2. High pigmentation.
3. Moisturising.
4. Deeper colors stay longer.
5. Like the glossy packaging.
6. All 8 shades are quiet nice..there is one for everyone.
7. Feels quiet light on lips.
Cons:
1. Little expensive.
2. Not transfer proof.
3. Lighter colors don’t stay that longer.
Overall, I would say I like the light texture and glossines..and the shades too..all three and in fact all 8 are pretty and nice..and perfect for all occasions..the one like Ingenue works for your everyday wear, formal wear too..Tease is a must have according to me..my favorite of the three..it looks beautiful on warm skin tones like ours..Vivacious is a clean, pretty rosy pink..one of the natural pinks..that would look good on everyone..I recommend all three ! In fact Flirtatious, a nice deeper pink and Enticing, a pretty red, are also nice shades from this collection. If you are a red lover..or want to try reds..you can try something glossy and light like Enticing.

L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil, Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Hey everyone,
With tons and tons of new shampoos coming up (pun intended), its difficult to catch up with all and review all. I tried the Sunsilk Natural Recharge at first..and then this L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish which I was using from quiet some time..and now shifting to the TRESemme Split Remedy.
For now, I have been using the combination of these three..so lets review them today.
L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil: The Extraordinary Oil has been scientifically created to give your hair the nourishment it truly deserves with three traditional oils and three exotic oils providing 6 specific benefits. It has no heavy feel or greasy look. Almond Oil –Makes your hair Thick, Coconut Oil – Makes your hair Manageable, Argan Oil –Gives your hair Strength, Jojoba Oil –Gives you Shiny hair, Olive Oil – Makes your hair Soft, Camelina Oil –Smoothens your hair
The first hair oil that is powered by 6 Micro Oils in a unique formula to provide 6 specific benefits. The Research & Innovation Centre at L’Oréal Paris in India have created perfectly balanced oil that that makes your hair look healthy and beautiful with a spectacular shine with every use.
6 oils-
Argan
Olive
Almond
Coconut
Jojoba
Camelina
6 benefits-
Strong
Soft
Smooth
Thick
Shiny
Manageable
Application: Apply on hair and scalp and gently massage before washing off. Can also be applied as a finishing touch.
L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo: The 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo has been created to provide complete nourishment to your hair from root to tip with 6 Micro Oils™making it soft, shiny, thick, strong, smooth and manageable.
Application : Massage gently into wet scalp/hair, lather and rinse for soft, nourished and healthy hair. Apply twice if required.
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.69/- for 75ml, Rs.138/- for 175 ml, Rs.235/- for 360ml (Buy on Flipkart here)
L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Conditioner: The 6 Oil Nourish Conditioner, a first of its kind from L’Oréal Paris, can be used on the scalp. This conditioner provides complete nourishment to your hair giving it the 6 benefits of the Oils used.
Application: Post shampooing, gently massage this conditioner on your scalp and hair and leave it on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing.
Starting with the Extraordinary Oil, it has a strong artificial smell..comes in a glass bottle..you need to be careful with this one..and the dispensor takes its own time for the oil to come out :/
Its quiet light in texture and never gave that chipku look..gets absorbed well..hair does not feel greasy or heavy..and it was easy to wash off too..did not require multiple washes..
I am not a fan of using it post washing as a serum..its slightly heavy to be used as a serum and may weigh down the hair.
Except for the fact that it has mineral oil and that too 68% :/ Mineral oil is not entirely bad for the hair..if you have curly hair, then it works for you all the more..what is does is, it forms a film on the hair..means it prevents moisture from going in..but its two way..so in a way it helps in controlling frizz but also prevents other useful products to reach the hair..but actually it also has some benefits and I would not discard a product if it has mineral oil..the question remains..how much qty of mineral oil is used in the product ! I also read that mineral oil should not be used on dry hair as it locks the dryness and dries them over..but it has worked for some and not for some..there are mixed opinions. I did not face much of an issue with this one.
Overall I would say I would have preferred lesser mineral oil..I mean 68% is quiet a lot !
Coming to the L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner. I have tried these oils in hair range before..with the Dove Nourishing Oil Range and Sunsilk Radiant Shine Range..both of which I loved ! So, the hair range with oils have always worked for me..
Does this one too ? Lets find out.
These have a yellow colored packaging and both are golden yellow in color..the shampoo has tiny shimmer which reflects. I love the amazing smell.
Shampoo is the perfect texture..not too watery..lathers amazingly well, washes off easily..and leaves hair smooth and detangled..
Conditioner is rich and creamy and coats hair well and leaves hair hydrated and moisturised.
I only felt that conditioner if used slightly more, can weigh down normal to oily hair since its a little rich.
Also, they claim that this conditioner can be used directly on the scalp..I did not try it and would not recommend it too..after all its a conditioner !
Though the shampoo does have SLS and conditioner, the silicones.
The range gave me shiny, smooth, detangled hair but weighed hair down sometimes..especially when all three used together since I have normal hair..It would work amazingly well for dry hair.
Overall, I would say this range is amazing for dry hair..and normal hair can work it too but carefully..but I would not recommend it for oily hair.

Kama Ayurveda Pure Lavender Water Face & Body Mist Review
What the Company claims: Pure Lavender Water face & body mist
Handpicked from the wild in the Himalayas, this lavender water has unparalleled soothing properties that provides an instant boost to the skin and reduce stress. An excellent facial toner, it cools & refreshes in hot weather. The steam distillation process used to create this wonderful water ensures a high level of hygiene and purity.
No artificial colours. No artificial fragrance. No animal ingredients. No petrochemicals, parabens, urea, propylene glycol or sulphates. All our organic products are internationally certified. Not tested on animals.
100% Natural
MRP: Rs.725/- for 200ml
It also comes in a smaller travel sized version I believe..
Kama Ayurveda already has a rose water which is like quiet famous and their one of the most selling products..so now they also came up with Lavender water..
I, personally love lavender more than rose..so if I have to choose, I would go with Lavender.
It comes in a brown tinted plastic bottle with a nozzle spray and a plastic cap..the packaging is quite sturdy, travel friendly and good..no issued with the spray.
Kama Ayurveda Waters i.e rose, lavender, vetiver, sandalwood and mogra all act as toners basically. And purest forms of toner..
Love the lavender smell. It soothes and refreshes instantly..and is a must have in my bag in this scorching heat.
Pros:
1. Love the lavender smell.
2. Soothing and refreshing.
3. Very convenient to use..and the travel sized bottle would be perfect for travel.
4. Good sturdy packaging and spray.
5. Must have for summers.
6. Lavender Essential Oil also helps in insomnia..and I also spray it every night, just before sleeping 🙂
Cons:
1. Little expensive..but I guess this 200 ml would last real long..coz I am using it everyday..and its not even 10% empty yet..so totally worth it.
Overall, I would say, it is not something that makes tall magical claims..it is meant to soothe and refresh the skin..and give the skin a boost in these horrible summers..and it does exactly that.
You can choose any Kama Ayurveda Water out of the five, depending on your choice. I love Lavender and I would be sticking to this 😀
