Lakme Honey and Avocado Winter Perfect Day Lotion Review

Lakme had come out with their all new Fruit Moisture range around a month back..They have this Honey and Avocado Winter Perfect Day lotion, Honey and Avocado Winter Perfect Day Creme, Peach and Plum Daily Glow Moisturiser and Strawberry, Kiwi and Passion Fruit Skin Renewal Night Creme.

Now back to the Honey and Avocado Lotion.

What the Company claims : This deep penetrating 12-hour moisturiser is packed with the richness of honey and avocado. Honey hydrates and smoothens dry, rough and flaky skin. Avocado with its natural moisturising factor, vitamin A (retinol) and E give you young, radiant and beautiful skin. With added SPF, this moisturiser even protects the skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

MRP- 55ml for Rs. 75,
100ml for Rs. 130 &
200ml for Rs. 210

Directions for use : Smooth on a dollop over cleansed face and neck for soft, smooth moisturized skin all day.Avoid contact with eyes.

Ingredients : Aqua, glycerin, mineral oil, stearic acid, palmitic acid, cetearyl octanoate, ethylhexyl palmitate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, cyclopentasilicone, cetyl acetate, glyceryl stearate, dimethicone, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol, potassium cetyl phosphate, ethylhexyl salicylate, perfume, magnesium aluminium silicate, Shea butter, cocoa seed butter, titanium dioxide, potassium lactate, tocopheryl acetate, sodium hydroxide, carbomer, disodium edta, sodium pca, retinyl palmitate, propylene glycol, honey extract, avocado fruit extract, CI 15985, phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, butyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben

Actually though it mentions for the face I use this only on my body. It is a light peach color lotion..neither too thick nor too runny.It has a nice fruity smell and it gets instantly absorbed into the skin without any greasiness. It is a very light lotion and does not give a heavy feeling like we have applied anything anytime.

 

Pros :
1. Very light and gets easily absorbed.
2. Has a nice fruity smell.
3. Comes in different sizes.
4. Cheap and good value for money.
5. Perfect as body lotion for normal to combination skin types.

Cons :
1. Only SPF is mentioned but not how much.
2. Flip cap is ok kinds.
3. Loads of chemicals including parabens.
4. Not very moisturising for dry or super dry skin.

Overall rating- 3/5

Would I buy it again- Hmm…I am not sure. It is a good everyday body lotion but I have lots of things to finish. I wanted to try something from this range..so got this..May be I will if I need. I think people with normal to combination skin should try this once.

NOTD and Lakme True Wear Color Review

I got the shade 243 from the new Lakme Gypsy collection…
Its a dark bluish purplish color with very fine blue shimmer visible in the bottle but not much on the nails.
Its the 1st time I have ever used a dark shade coz I was always into lighter shades or plain silver..
But but now that I have used it…I am loving it….the shade is super nice…and dark colors make your hands n feet look fairer ( cheat code :p)
The new collection has 8 shades…I wanted 043 and 044 badly…I loved them on Cynthia but they were Out of Stock..
043 is a dark navy blue
044 is a henna green gold
Others are 530 (a mustard dark gold),245 (dark maroonish red with shimmer),422(tomato red),244(lavender) and 246 (magenta pink with silver shimmer)
All these nail paints have shimmer in them.

What Lakme claims :
TRUE WEAR NAIL COLOR

Inspired by the bohemian, rustic gypsy trails this season, wear rich, deep colors with just a hint of shimmer. From mystic indigos to ruby reds and from plush purples to
henna golds.Available in 8 shades

MRP: Rs 90/-

Pros :
1. You get 9 ml for Rs 90 which is pretty decent.
2. The quality of these is quite good.
3. They stay for a long time on my toes and on hands they stayed for 2-3 days n then chipped a bit at the    
     edges but thats coz I use my hands a lot for handling something or the other.
4. Interesting shades for everyone.You will like one or the other out of the 8.
5. They are quick drying.
6. They are glossy.

Cons :
1. Availability.I dint get the shades I wanted.
2. Packaging is ok
3. Just that they chip on hands.

Here is the shade I have..

For other swatches go here and here

Rating- 3.5/5

Would I buy again- Yes I am surely getting 043 and 044

Have you guys got any new shades from the gypsy collection ?
Which one is your fav ??
