It comes in a normal round eyeshadow pan packaging..with a flip cap..

I was in love with the shade the moment I saw it..the name ‘Emerald Smoke’ was calling out to me 😀

But…as soon as I touched it.. 😮 Its a creamy eyeshadow..Nowhere did I read thats its cream based..not even in claims or on the pack..so I expected these to be powder eyeshadows..

I still love the color ! :p Emerald Smoke is a deep blackened olive green with golden shimmer..

T: 2 swipes, B: 1 swipe

Its pretty pigmented and buildable..I love how gorgeous it looks..kinda blackened olive green smokey eyes with some golden shimmer shining..

But but..the only and major issue is..it creases within an hour ! It just does’nt stay..and creases badly..how I wish it was powder eyeshadow or stayed longer..

Pros:

1. Gorgeous shade.
2. Easy to use…works with fingers too.
3. Economical.
4. Qty would last long.
5. Travel friendly..the flip cap shuts well.
6. Can be used as an eyeshadow base or gel liner.
7. Claims to be non toxic..

Cons:

1. Creases within an hour !
2. Only available online for now.

Overall I love the shade..but I cannot wear it coz it creases 🙁 I will have to try a very good eye primer like the Too Faced Shadow Insurance with it now..would update if it stays put with that..

Biotique Chlorophyll Gel Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
First of all Sorry for being MIA..I was out of town and it was a sudden trip as the tickets were not confirmed before..and later they got confirmed..so I had to pack and rush within an hour !! Had amazing fun at the trip with my friends… :))

Coming back to the topic…I have been using Biotique Chlorophyll Gel from last year.

What the Company claims:

Product Description
Chlorphyll is the “green” in all plants, meant to absorb and harness the energy of the sun involved in photosynthesis and highly valued for its antiseptic properties.

This refreshing, anti-bacterial moisturizer is blended with chlorophyll and extracts of seaweed, sea algae, aloe vera and gum arabic to tighten pores, avert blemishes, and keep skin nourished and clear without flaking.

Ingredients:
Chinai ghas (Gelidium amansii) 1.5%
Kuda (Holorrhena antidysenterica) 2.0%
Ghrit kumari (Aloevera indica) 2.0%
Kikkar gaund (Acacia Arabica) 2.0%
Samundir kai (Gelidium amansii) 10.0%
Himalayan Water Q.S.


Apply evenly over cleansed face and neck, morning and evening, to refresh skin. Also recommended for post hair removal, to soothe and condition the skin against redness and irritation.

MRP: Rs. 199/- for 65g

Its a transparent green gel..looks very similar to Aloe Vera Gel..but has added properties of Chlorophyll, Acacia and other ingredients..has a light refreshing smell.

Though it can be used as a moisturiser and it is stated so in the directions…if your skin needs added moisture..this would not be enough..I usually use it post waxing..and it soothes my skin as I do get small red bumps post waxing.

Pros:

1. Very light texture and gets easily absorbed.
2. Amazing to soothe skin post waxing.
3. Has a nice refreshing smell.
4. Is not greasy like other creams and so would be perfect for people with oily skin.
5. Has all natural ingredients.
6. Economical as you need a little quantity.
7. Perfect moisturiser for summers..esp for ppl with oily skin.

Cons:

1. Comes in a tub..so you need to dip hands.
2. Dry skinned ppl cannot use only this as its not moisturising enough.
3. Keep it away from your mouth..even a slight touch and you get that bitter taste :/

Rating:

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

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I love using it post waxing and even as a moisturiser in summers.

I recommend this strongly to people who get bumps like me post waxing..use this immediately and skin would feel much better.

Have you used Biotique Chlorophyll Gel ??

Biotique Papaya Scrub Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Biotique Papaya Scrub Review

Biotique Papaya Scrub says it is a soothing and revitalizing scrub suitable for all skin types. The older pack of it read 7 days facial scrub but they have changed the packaging now I guess..

What the Company claims : The enzymes contained in the Papaya Fruit remove dead epithelial cells and deep cleanse the skin. The rubbing of Papaya Fruit helps Speed up natural skin  leaving it fresher and younger looking.

Directions for use : Massage on wet face and neck with fingertips. Avoid eye area. Remove with water or damp washcloth. Use daily or as needed.

MRP- Rs 199 for 85 gm or 2.4 oz. (I got it for Rs.180)

Ingredients : Papita 5%, Kela 3%, Khajoor 2%, Neem 5%, Methi 1%, Yasad bhasm Zincum 5%, Ban Haldi 1%, Aam beej 1%, Bees Wax 3.5 %, Gum Acacai 1.5 %, Moongphali 2.5 %, Himalayan Water Q.S

It has all the natural things which are excellent for the skin like papaya, khajoor, neem, bees wax, gum acacia, peanuts, methi, etc. It is a cream colored thick scrub with fruit seeds for exfoliation. I would suggest not using it daily though they mention so in the directions coz daily exfoliation of your very delicate facial skin is not good. You can use it once a week or once in two weeks as you like.

But exfoliation or scrubbing is very important as it removes the dead skin cells from your skin making way for the new ones.

Blended

Pros :

1. It is natural and I would anyday prefer this over the chemical laden scrubs.
2. It leaves skin nice,smooth and soft.
3. Removes dry flakes from the skin.
4. It can be used as a body scrub as well..especially on elbows,knees and places where you have ingrowth.
5. Its expiry is 3 years from the date of manufacture.So it can be used for a long time even if you don’t use it regularly. I love this thing in all Biotique products.
6. I like the nice fruity smell.
7. Its very very creamy and I even keep it for a few minutes on the skin like a pack..so it would work both ways..as it has all the good stuff.

Cons:

1. As all Biotique products it comes in a tub making it difficult to use when its close to getting finished. Its unhygienic to use fingers.You can use a plastic spoon or something to remove the scrub.
2. The price is a bit high if you use it as a body scrub as it will finish up sooner.Its decent enough if used only as a face scrub as little goes a long way.
3. It stings a bit while scrubbing but nothing abnormal. I would suggest people with sensitive skin to do a patch test first before using it on face.

So overall I would suggest it to everyone as its damn good and my HG scrub.
Though I have’nt tried the much famous St. Ives Apricot and also Nivea Visage and others but those mostly have SLS which I think is harmful for th skin.

I have tried Nomarks Apricot scrub which I will review later.But I love this natural baby more…;)
