I am a huge fan of Asian cosmetics. I think they have the cutest packing and when i think nothing could get cuter,there they are with another kawaii innovation.
I’ve been looking around for asian face masks in India because i was running out of the ones i have. And that’s when i stumbled upon this face masks on Urbantouch.com under Konad brand. I quickly bought one just to try it and here is what i have to say.
PACKAGE- it comes in sachets – not the usual cute package i’m used to .Inside , there is a single sheet of face mask made of thin absorbing cloth. The usual Asian masks i use has an extra plastic sheet to prevent the cloth mask from sticking to itself and for easy removal.
HOW TO USE- Remove the mask from the packet and spread it out on your face making sure every part of your face is well covered. Put on some nice music and lie there for 15-20 minutes. After that remove the mask and apply the excess fluid from the packet on your face and leave it to dry. Do not wash your face after using the face mask
INGREDIENTS- Vit E, Collagen, cucumber extract,dipotassium glyrrhizate.
WHAT IT CLAIMS- Face mask to moisturize and increase skin elasticity for healthy and younger looking skin.
Details The sheet type essence mask is easy to use and effective in skin recovery treatment. It contains cucumber extract for soothing, brightening and moisturizing the skin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice root) which prevents skin trouble and makes skin healthy. Vitamin E and collagen presents in it increases the skin elasticity and brightens the skin.
HOW IT FELT- During the process of using the face mask, my face felt really cool and nice.
After the removal of the mask, my face felt soft and the pores appeared smaller. However ,few hours after using it ,i noticed small tiny rashes on my face.(i don’t know if it was just some co-incidence or because of the mask).i have never experienced such things with any other masks, But i am, however, reluctant to try it again.
Now nailart can be real fun..but if one has shaky hands or if one is not creative enough or patient enough..(someone like me :p) they can and should go for the Konad nail art kits..with which you can create lots and lots of designs without much of an effort.
You would require:
Konad 5ml Special Nail Polish- Rs.140/- each Konad Stamp/Scraper- Rs. 170/- Image Plate Holder- Rs. 65/- (This is not mandatory) Konad Image Plates- Rs. 175/- each
It was tricky at first and I just could not get it right..but after 2-3 trial and errors I finally managed it..the main thing is to do it super fast..like apply the nail paint on the design you want, scrape off the excess, get it on the stamper..all this should be done within seconds..if the nail paint dries even a little bit, it just wont come on the stamper. Once you get the design on the stamper its easy to place it.
Is’nt the bow cute ?? I loved it….
I highly recommend this stamp/scraper if you like nail art but do not have too much time for it..
P.S: Product sent by site for review but it has not affected my opinion.

The quality of these eye shadows is pretty nice..they are very pigmented and do not crease even without a primer and stay for a decent amount of time. But these are very very soft and one needs to handle them well..or they would just crumble.
One had already crumbled before reaching me :/ The soft grey is totally broken and it has spread around on other shadows too..even after cleaning I am not able to get the exact color of the other shadows.
They come in a nice compact which has a mirror and a sponge tip applicator..one side big and the other side smaller. Its quiet handy to carry..and they have a pretty butterfly design on each of their eye shadows.
Pros:
1. Silky smooth texture.
2. They are quite pigmented.
3. Stay on long without creasing.
4. They adhere to the skin and using them is quite easy.
5. Packaging is nice and easy to carry around.
6. Single eye shadow is quite economical at Rs.130/- and it contains 2.5 g of product which would last quite long and the quality is worth the price.
7. Some shades are matte and some satiny..but these are not too shimmery and can be worn anywhere.
Cons:
1. These are quite delicate and one needs to be careful in using them..or else they would just crumble away.
2. One weird thing is the pricing. Individual shadows are priced at 130 and three together with the compact at 995. The cost for three shadows would be 390 and if the rest of the price is for the compact, I would suggest getting the individual ones.
3. Availability is an issue though..you can only get them online.
Overall I quite liked the quality of these eye shadows and I do recommend trying the individual ones. I would do EOTDs soon 🙂

BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia.
Originally formulated in Germany by Dr. med. Christine Schrammek,it was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes.
BB creams come in a variety of different formulations and qualities. Some are said to have skin whitening or brightening properties. Others are anti-acne, some are anti-wrinkle, some are intended to even out skin tone, and yet others to lighten blemish scars. BB creams are sometimes used like a primer under foundation, and if tinted may even replace foundation and some newer ones will have functions of primer, foundation, moisturizer, sun block, pore minimization and skin refining together which can save time and money in make-up.
Brands on the market aside others include BRTC – Bio Remedies Therapeutic Cosmetic, Dr. Jart, Lioele, Skin Food, The Face Shop, Missha and SKIN79.
In recent years BB cream has gained a huge following for its skin-regenerating functions and is now also widely used in Asia to provide natural-looking skin coverage. The fact that BB cream is often named the “the secret of Korean actresses” gained it huge exposure in Asian markets.
So basically its a skincare/healing product combined with makeup..and so it works as a great everyday base.

MRP: Rs.950/- for 50g
It comes in a normal tube packaging and the consistency is medium..almost the same as a tinted moisturiser..but you need very little quantity of this comparatively as its spreads along and covers more area..if you get it..but the problem with this is, you need to blend and blend coz of the whitish/greyish cast it gives..like most BB creams..as they also contain sunscreen properties i.e Titanium Dioxide and few other Ingredients.
See the little whitish cast..but also the dewiness
Pros:
1. Works great in evening out the skin tone. 2. Gives a nice dewy finish. 3. Combines hydration,sunscreen and foundation..so using only this would be enough for people who do not need much coverage. 4. Its cheaper than most other BB creams out there…when shipped to India. 5. Tube packaging is easy to use. 6. You need just a little..as less is more with this…so it lasts quiet long.
Cons:
1. You need to blend and blend to lessen the whitish cast. 2. Only one shade available..it would not suit tan/olive skin tones and the whitish cast might make them look ghastly..there should be more shades in this. 3. Its not travel friendly..once I carried it along..and the product oozed out in the cap even with slightest pressure. 4. Availability might be an issue. 5. Oily skinned girls might need to set it with powder..especially on the T zone coz of its dewiness.
Overall I quite liked it..and is a good everyday base which helps even out skin tone and gives a dewy finish.
You can buy Konad makeup, Konad nail art and other stuff from nailsandbeauty.in. It offers free shipping and cash on delivery in India…and if you are a nail art lover, you would love this for sure !!
