L'Oreal Paris White Perfect Magic White Double Whitening Day Cream, Eye Cream Review

L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Magic White Double Whitening Day Cream, Eye Cream Review

L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Magic White Double Whitening Day Cream, Eye Cream Review

Whoa, that’s quite a mouthful! I have been using this day cream and eye cream from the L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Range from quite some time, day cream being on and off, read below to know why.

What the Company claims: GET INSTANT PERFECTION AND DAY AFTER DAY SKIN WHITENING FROM WITHIN WITH THE REVOLUTIONARY WHITE PERFECT MAGIC WHITE DOUBLE WHITENING CREAM.

PRODUCT BENEFITS: Upon application, thousands of MAGIC BEADS melt on skin to instantly and magically brighten and even skin tone right from the 1st touch, with no BB cream effect. Apply on cleansed skin every day.
INNOVATIONS & INGREDIENTS: High concentration of MELANIN-VANISH accelerates the skin regeneration process to unload excess melanin deep in skin layers and reduce dullness and dark spots.

MRP: Rs.799/- for 50g (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

WHITE PERFECT MAGIC WHITE EYE CREAM
WHITE PERFECT MAGIC WHITE DOUBLE WHITENING EYE CREAM GIVES INSTANT BLUR EFFECT.
PRODUCT BENEFITS: In 5 seconds, instant blur effect, anti-dark circles, lines and bags.
Apply around the eye contour.
INNOVATIONS & INGREDIENTS: In 4 weeks, eye contour brightening with Vitamin CG and Caffeine.

MRP: Rs.599/- for 15g

Ingredients:

Both the day cream and eye cream come in this white and blue packaging, the day cream being a flat tube with a nozzle front and the eye cream being slim and round with a thin nozzle tip.

The day cream is white in color and thin and runny in texture, it spreads easily on the skin but it needs some blending as it leaves a whitish cast which looks too obvious if not blended well. The smell is not so pleasant too.

You definitely see visible brightness on the skin as soon as you apply it, but it not something permanent or that stays forever. If you read the ingredients in the image above, you see a lot of different silicones in it. Now my skin is not very sensitive and does not react easily to products but with this one, I broke out and got a lot of white heads, I had to stop using it for a few days. Then I started using it again and I broke out again 🙁 Now I have 2-3 acne scars to deal with. I am not really sure what particularly from the ingredients was triggering break outs. Coz I have used products with silicones before, maybe the combination of silicones or a particular silicone was doing it.

Till the time I used it, I can say that it does give the skin a brighter look and feel though not permanently. It is moisturising enough and there were no dry patches on the skin. I wouldn’t recommend it to sensitive skin though, for others, do give it a try if you want brighter, firmer looking skin but don’t expect permanent or long term results. You will notice a difference till the time you use it. Also, it has SPF19.

Coming to the eye cream, I love the convenient packaging and the nozzle only dispenses the required quantity. It is light yellow in color and slightly thick but easily blendable.

I target my under eye area at first, and then with some product left on the ring fingers I go over the entire eye lightly. I definitely noticed a difference in my under eye area from the time I am using it. The eye area is more moisturised, dark circles less visible and eye area is brighter. Caffeine also helps in reducing the under eye bags.

L- Eye cream, R- Day Cream

I love the eye cream and definitely recommend it, if you have dry skin and are anywhere in your late 20’s and early 30’s, it is time you start using an eye cream and invest in a good one. Even though this sounds expensive, 15g tube would last long as you need quite a tiny amount.

Overall, I would say the day cream did not work for me coz it broke me out but the eye cream is definitely worth a try!

L’Oreal Paris Mat Magique Compact Powder Review, Swatches, FOTD

L’Oreal Paris Mat Magique Compact Powder Review, Swatches, FOTD

Hi guys,

L’Oreal Paris India is on a roll and launching a lot of new products, the latest being the Mat Magique Compact Powder. Just 2 months ago they launched the Infallible range which had the Infallible 24H Powder Foundation too. And now a new range of compact powders 😀 Well, we are not complaining 😉

What the Company claims: With 5 shades, specially created to suit Indian skin tones, Mat Magique compact blends smoothly into your skin to give an impeccable coverage without looking cakey. At a special price point of just Rs. 399, L’Oréal Paris Mat Magique compact is easy to apply and frees you from touch ups, every time you decide to go out. The new compact from L’Oréal Paris is also enriched with SPF 34 PA+++ to help protect your skin from the sun and make it look blemish free, healthy and radiant all day long.

INNOVATIONS & INGREDIENTS
Mat Magique compact – It’s the Matte that does it all! Infused with Volcanic Perlite Minerals Mat Magique compact lets you stay shine-free, worry-free, and flawless for 12 hours.

MRP: Rs.399/- for 6g

Ingredients:

Shades Available: 5

  • G1 Vanilla Ivory
  • G2 Golden Ivory
  • G7 Golden Amber
  • N2 Nude Vanilla
  • N6 Nude Honey

More details HERE

I have the shades G2 Golden Ivory and N6 Nude Honey which are like the closest match for me, G7 Golden Amber is the darkest shade and N2 Nude Vanilla is the lightest.

At first, I love the transparent and pink round packaging, it looks pretty on your table or in your bag too. The bottom base is also transparent and you have the mirror and a round, white thick sponge in the lower compartment. Now the mirror being in the lower compartment and the product on upper, it would be a bit of a struggle to take the sponge and go up and down again and again. Outside India, it had a rectangular packaging with sponge and powder on each side and mirror on the front.

L- Golden Ivory, R- Nude Honey

I am glad that the shades are all warm and suitable for Indian skin tones! Most of the products including the previous Infallible 24H Powder Foundation were a bit light and gave a strong whitish cast. Thankfully, these ones match Indian skin tones perfectly and do not look white or ghastly at all.

L- Golden Ivory, R- Nude Honey

And SPF34 PA+++ is the highest protection I have seen in a compact powder yet! Kudos to L’Oreal Paris for adding in such high sun protection factor.

Coming to the coverage and staying power, it gives light to medium coverage which is perfect for daily use. It stays on for quite a few hours and absorbs oil and shine for almost 5-6 hours and keeps it at bay, thanks to the Volcanic Perlite Minerals. Post 5-6 hours, you notice a bit of shine but not too much, just a touch up with this and you are again sorted for few hours.

It is not very powdery or not too drying, but it is not creamy either. If you have dry patches on your face and you use this compact without using a moisturiser, then it will cling to the dry patches. But in a hour or two, it won’t feel dry coz it balances with the skin’s natural oils.

The price point of Rs.399/- is amazing!! Absolutely happy with L’Oreal Paris to keep the price low, it is one of their rare 2-3 products that are priced below Rs.500/- 😀

And coming to the shades, I have Golden Ivory and Nude Honey. Golden Ivory is slightly light for me and Nude Honey is slightly dark. But these powders oxidize a little bit during the day and hence Golden Ivory settles to match my skin.

Here are the swatches..

L- Golden Ivory, R- Nude Honey

I am wearing Golden Ivory here.

Overall, I am very happy with these compact powders. They have everything you could ask for in a compact from coverage to staying powder to keeping oil at bay to sun protection to the perfect shades and price. Highly recommend them! And they would work for all skin types.

What the Company claims: L’Oréal  Paris  Infallible  Reno  Liquid  & Powder  Foundation  give  you:

-­‐  Velvety  matte  finish
-­‐  Non-drying  texture
-­‐  Optimal  coverage
-­‐  24H  flawless  wear
-­‐  Shine  Control

Left: 160 Sand Beige, Right- 225 Beige

Shades Available: 4

MRP: Rs.1250/-

Check out the review,swatches and demo of the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation HERE

Today I am reviewing the shades 160 Sand Beige and 225 Beige of the Infalible Reno Powder Foundation. I am not sure why it is ‘Infalible’ instead of ‘Infallible’

To start with the packaging, the upper part is plastic and quite light. It comes in transparent crimson packaging with a see through cap. The lower part has a sponge and mirror which is something quite nice, as the sponge is in a separate compartment so it does not get mixed with the powder even if you use it wet and the mirror is so handy while travelling and for touch ups. Though I wish the packaging was a bit sturdier coz this might break,even if it falls down once.

The texture is very fine, though it is not the smoothest. It can be used wet or dry. I prefer using a brush when I am using it dry and the sponge it comes with when using it wet.

Left: 160 Sand Beige, Right- 225 Beige

It gives light coverage when used dry and a little more medium coverage when used wet. It is completely matte and there would be no trace of shine on your skin when you use this. This will be a boon for people with oily skin.

Left: 160 Sand Beige, Right- 225 Beige

Since I prefer dewy finish and I am not a fan of matte, I do not use powders often except for my T-zone. Also you will need to moisturise really well before using this, as it accentuates dry patches.

The main con for me is the white cast! 🙁 It gives a strong white cast,especially in photographs.

160 Sand Beige is supposed to be lighter than 225 Beige,as shown in the Shade Options available online. But somehow Sand Beige is a better match for me and 225 Beige appears lighter on me. Even in the swatches, Sand Beige is a little more yellow and that matches well with my skin tone.

Here I have used both 160 Sand Beige and 225 Beige wet with the sponge.

160 Sand Beige (Left- With Foundation, Right- Without Foundation)
Makeup with 160 Sand Beige as a base
225 Beige (Left- With Foundation, Right- Without Foundation)
Makeup with 225 Beige as a base

225 Beige is lighter and looks even more light with the whitish cast, as you can see.

I am not generally a fan of using powder foundations wet, unless you are out and don’t have any liquid foundation and are heading to a party or a function and need some coverage. I generally prefer using powders on them when for daily basis or as a setting powder.

It works well on its own and amazing as a setting powder, only when used wet, it gives a whitish cast which I don’t like. I would recommend the shade 160 Sand Beige for mostly all of us with medium skin tone and yellow undertone.

Overall,  I would say it’s a nice powder foundation which is perfect for travelling and a boon for oily skin. It works really well as a setting powder too and also amazing for touch-ups. I would not recommend it for dry skin or if you want to use it wet.

I was trying and testing out the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation for you guys since quite some time now. So let’s get on to the review.

It comes in a glass bottle with a transparent red cap which has shade numbers on the top. The bottle is a bit heavy, but not too heavy. It comes in a square packaging and has a black pump inside.

It is liquidy and runny but thick enough and not water like. It is easy to blend using both brush and fingers.

How I use it is, I take some foundation on the back of my hand and dot my face all over with the foundation and blend it either using fingers or a brush. If you are using a brush, make sure it is a bit damp which will help you blend it more easily since this foundation is on the dry and matte side.

The foundation feels completely matte on the skin, there is no shininess or dewiness with it. If you have dry skin, I recommend using a moisturiser beneath, but even if you don’t, this won’t feel stretchy on the skin, though the finish might be better with a moisturiser and it may not accentuate dry patches.

For people with oily skin, this is a boon. It stays matte for a good 4-5 hours for someone with dry/normal skin and then you need to blot some oil or shine on your face with a powder. For oily skin, you will need to blot it in 2-3 hours maybe, but once blotted, you will get the matte effect back.

It stays for almost the whole day, though the finish would look slightly dull at the end of the day i.e after 9-10 hours. It is almost transfer proof, though if you are sweating or have some shine on the face, it would transfer a bit on the tissue.

I am glad that it comes in 11 shades and has shades for both yellow and pink undertones. Though the darker shades are not much, and I found 3-4 shades very, very close to each other with not much difference.

I love the finish of this foundation. It provides medium to heavy coverage with layering. It covers dark spots, redness and also some of dark circles. You can skip a concealer unless you want a flawless finish. I usually don’t use a powder on top and it stays matte and let’s the skin breathe too. I have received quite some compliments with this foundation and even Cory Walia mentioned that I was glowing 😀 I did not reveal this secret though.

Even though it has an SPF of 18, it does not give a white cast and photographs well. Also, the shades are so close to each other, that you can make them work for you, if you choose any of these mid shades, a lot of options for us, wheatish skin tone.

I have the shades 200 Golden Sand, 140 Golden Beige and 220 Sand, all three of which are yellow toned and warm.

I have worn all three shades outside and none looked too light or dark, all three worked decently. If I have to choose, I would say 140 is the match closest to my skin,followed by 200 and 220 is slightly dark.

Without-With Foundation

Makeup with shade 140 Golden Beige

Overall, these are amazing quality wise and would last you quite long as you don’t need too much product. They give a nice, matte finish and stay put whole day. Perfect for oily skin and would work well for dry skin with a moisturiser underneath. Highly recommended.

L’Oreal Paris Cannes Collection Glamorous Gloss,Marvellous Matte Look

L’Oreal Paris Cannes Collection Glamorous Gloss,Marvellous Matte Look

Hey guys,

If you have been following me on my twitter or Instagram, you know I had attended the L’Oreal Paris Cannes Press Con Red Carpet where 6 winners each from Team Glamorous Gloss (headed by Katrina Kaif) and Team Marvellous Matte (headed by Sonam Kapoor)  walked the red carpet with their respective team heads i.e. Sonam and Katrina.

Bloggers were also invited for a photo shoot with the stars and divided into Team Gloss and Team Matte. I was in Team Gloss.

We were sent the L’Oreal Paris Exclusive Cannes Collection a day prior and we had to create a gloss/matte look (whichever team we are in) from the collection. I got 3 L’Oreal Paris Color Riche L’Extraordinaire in 201 Rose Symphony, 202 Coral Encore and 400 Plum Quartet, L’Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza in Sapphire Blue, 1 L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Spring Rosette and 2 Limited Edition Special Cannes Collection Swarovski crystals studded L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipsticks in Raspberry Syrup and Arabian Night.

I was in Team Gloss, so I went with super glossy lips of course and L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire helped me achieve that look. Its a super glossy liquid lipstick. There are also three shades of gel liners in the Cannes Collection- L’Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza 36H in Diamond Black,Royal Blue and Sapphire Blue. Royal Blue is a gorgeous deep blue, I would have loved to try that. I got the Sapphire Blue shade which is a deep bluish black..looks more black on the eyes. But the texture and quality of these gel liners are beyond amazing. They come with a brush and I got a smooth flick with just one dip of the brush! Beat that! It is super pigmented and goes smoothly all at once. I loved their previous basic black and brown 24H gel liners too (Check the review of the Brown one HERE)

The Cannes collection includes all the existing L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipsticks and some they have launched in a new revamped Swarovski studded packaging..looks so pretty! The real Swarovski crystals on the top and bottom of the cap and then it comes with a velvet cover to protect those crystals.

LE Cannes Collection Swarovski Studded Moist Mat

I got the shade Raspberry Syrup and Arabian Nights in this new packaging and the shade Spring Rosette in the old packaging.

I showed you guys the outfit I wore to the red carpet in my previous OOTD HERE. Let’s take a closer look at the glossy makeup.

Glamorous Gloss Look
Glamorous Gloss Look

I used the L’Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza in Sapphire Blue on my upper and lower lash line..winged it a bit on the top. And for the lips, I went with L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Raspberry Syrup as the base and the L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire in Rose Symphony on top.

Products I used for the Glamorous Gloss Look

I did not get a chance to click pics with Sonam or Katrina as they arrived late and my back had started paining by then, so I had to leave sooner.

Marvellous Matte Look

I also tried a matte look the other day..went with Sapphire Blue gel liner again but only on the lower lash line, on upper lashline normal black liner with a slight wing and the L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Spring Rosette. I am so in love with this shade, my current staple and always in my bag!

L’Oreal Paris Skin Perfect Cream Age 20+ Review

L’Oreal Paris Skin Perfect Cream Age 20+ Review

Hey guys,

Remember the post about the new L’Oreal Skin Perfect Range I did HERE. It has three different creams in this range according to Age 20+,30+ and 40+.

I have been using the 20+ from about 40-45 days now and it’s time to review.

What the Company claims: Age 20+ Skin Perfect Range comprises of a day cream along with cleansing foam.Combined with Perlite and Salicylic Acid it helps keep oiliness, pimples and blemishes at bay through your twenties while giving you that perfect clear skin glow.

The 18g Cream is priced at Rs 99, 50 g Cream is priced at Rs 325

Ingredients:

It comes in both tube and glass jar packaging. I was using this tube one before I received the glass jar ones. I have been using the tube since 40-45 days and there is still some product left.

Really like the ease of use and carrying the tube provides, the glass jar is heavy and definitely not meant for travel.

Its off white in color and thick in texture. I love the floral talc like light smell. Since its a bit heavy, you need to blend this well on the skin or else it might leave a whitish cast or layer.

It gets immediately absorbed and settles (coz of the talc) and gives a nice brightening effect to the skin. (coz of perlite). Also the presence of salicylic acid would help acne at bay and niacinmide helps in lightening the scars to an extent.

It did not break me out and kept the skin matte and dry for atleast 4-5 hours.

Since most of the people in 20+ group are from the oily skin category, they have made the formula suited for oily skin. But if you are into your late 20’s and your skin is combination to dry, you will definitely not like this as a moisturiser and would need an additional one to moisturise the skin.

I use a moisturising sunscreen over this since only UV filters are not enough and cannot replace your sunscreen.

Overall, I would say its perfect for oily skin and late teens to early 20’s skin who need a moisturiser that is not heavy,absorbs easily and mattifies their skin. I am liking it this summers since its very hot and humid here and sometimes I just don’t want anything heavy or greasy on my face. Recommended! But not for dry skin unless you add a separate moisturiser which does not makes sense.

Today I am reviewing Aishwarya’s Pure Brick, Sonam’s Pure Garnet and Frieda’s Pure Rouge..I couldn’t click the pics and swatches of the rest of the lipstick coz of the accident..I will do a separate post for the remaining shades i.e. Pure Amaranthe, Pure Vermeil, Pure Fire and Pure Scarleto.

It comes in a black square packaging with the matching colored square showing the shade inside with the ambassador’s signature over it to whom the shade is dedicated. Its easy to carry and chic, tough enough and does not break easily as was with some of the Infallible ones. I like how the bullet has the sharp tip in the front making it easier to apply on edges and curves of the lips.

Though the texture is matte, it is not uncomfortably matte or crayon like matte. It goes on smooth without any tugging. It is super duper pigmented, even the swatches took a day to go with rigorous rubbing. I love that these are matte plus moisturising, though a lip balm beneath is advisable, still its not uncomfortable on the lips.

It stays for 6-7 hours and leaves behind a strong tint which stays again 2-3 hours, it survived basic eating and drinking too. I am impressed with the staying power.

Garnet,Rouge,Brick

Aishwarya Rai’s Pure Brick is as named a pure warm,earthy brick red..very wearable and looks pretty as a tint too.

Sonam’s Pure Garnet is a very unique shade..its a pink based red and looks berry wine like in sunlight while a bright,vampy berry indoors.

Freida’s Pure Rouge is a true cool toned bright red, looks like MAC Ruby Woo dupe in arm swatch, but actually Ruby Woo comes up slightly orange on the lips and in pictures while this does not.

The fact about these lipsticks are these look different on everyone..same shade would look way different on you and on someone else..each one has their favourites here. And one is bound to like 3-4 out of these 7.

My favourites are Pure Brick and Pure Amaranthe out of the 4 I have tried..would update with rest later 😀 Also Pure Garnet is a very unique shade which is a must have if you into berry shades. I do sometimes love wearing berry shades.

Overall, I would say these are just perfect in terms of pigmentation,texture,staying power,shade selection, etc..Only thing is these are a little highly priced but I am glad the quantity is 4.2g compared to the 2.5g in Infallible. Highly recommended!

I am reviewing six shades today which are 421 Charismatic Coral, 312 Ravishing Red,737 Persistent Plum, 425 Always Apricot,138 Forever Fuchsia and 829 Resilient Raisin.

Let us start with the packaging, I loved the transparent matching shade cap and the black common base, looks pretty and easy to identify. Only issue is the lipstick touches the edges when you swivel up and down and also during travelling which damages it slightly at the edges.

Coming to the texture, it glides like butter! Literal butter, no kidding. It melts on the lips as you glide it on and spreads like butter. It sets on the lips after 10 minutes or so.

Pigmentation is beyond amazing. The swatches on my hand needed good scrubbing to get rid of. These are indeed super pigmented.

The Lipstick Army (L-R: Charismatic Coral, Ravishing Red,Always Apricot,Persistent Plum,Resilient Raisin,Forever Fuchsia)

Now the main part, the staying power where most of the lipsticks fail for me. Only MAC Matte stays on for me a long time. (i.e. Ruby Woo) These totally surprised me here!! I have worn these for more than 8 hours and still they were good to go, untill I had to remove it off with a good cleanser. I never expected this from L’Oreal Paris and I would say I am pretty pretty impressed. I have drank tea,water and had lunch,dinner,etc. It doesn’t fade at all with drinking or light snacks, with complete lunch or dinner, it does fade but not much. I kiss my niece the whole day and all the lipsticks always transfer on her cute chubby cheeks :p This one did transfer a bit but not much. Passed the kiss test too 😀

Top Row L-R: Charismatic Coral, Ravishing Red,Always Apricot
Bottom Row L-R: Persistent Plum,Resilient Raisin,Forever Fuchsia

My lips are super dry in winters but not once with these on, did the lips feel uncomfortable or the need of a lip balm.

Here are the swatches..

L-R: Charismatic Coral, Ravishing Red,Always Apricot,Persistent Plum,Resilient Raisin,Forever Fuchsia

And here are the shades on moi..

Top Row L-R: Charismatic Coral, Ravishing Red,Always Apricot
Bottom Row L-R: Persistent Plum,Resilient Raisin,Forever Fuchsia

Charismatic Coral is a bright reddish coral

Ravishing Red is a medium neutral red

Always Apricot is a stunning medium wearable warm orange

Persistent Plum is a deep plum with pink undertones

Resilient Raisin is a deep brown with maroon undertones

Forever Fuchsia is a medium neutral fuchsia pink

Charismatic Coral and Always Apricot look very similar in tube and are slightly close, so are Persistent Plum and Resilient Raisin. (except for the undertones)

Only con would be the price, as they are expensive at Rs.999/- for 2.5g quantity. And the lipstick bullet gets damaged at the corners.

If I have to review these in one word, I would say superb!

My favourite shades are Always Apricot, Forever Fuchsia, Charismatic Coral and Ravishing Red. I also want to check out Enduring Berry,Tender Berry and Rambling Rose.

Overall for me, they pass all the tests. I am in love with these and have been wearing them since 3 days the entire day. I know the price is on the higher side, but if I get such long staying lipsticks which need no touch up and are super comfortable and light on lips,kiss proof, transfer proof and come in such pretty bright 15 shades, I would pay for these. These actually deliver all that they claim. Highly recommended!

Rating: 4.5/5

L’Oreal Paris Lucent Magique Blush comes in a beautiful gold packaging with a mirror and a small brush. The brush is slightly scratchy but pretty decent for emergency or travelling.

It has three strips of pink with the middle one being the most broad which is a creamy matte rose pink. The top strip is a pale pink and the bottom is a frosty pink. All combined they give a bright pretty fuchsia pink flush as the name suggests.

It also highlights and gives that sheen coz of the shimmer, you do not need a separate highlighter when using this.

The pigmentation on touch is above average, but Do Not go overboard with this, apply it very very sparingly. On the skin, it turns deeper and brighter after some time with the warmth. It stays for a good 5-6 hours before it starts fading off slightly, but it is surely super pigmented and bright when in contact with the skin.

It is smooth in texture and goes on easy. The quantity is super awesome, you would need an entire generation to finish this blush, considering the pigmentation!

For the packaging, quality and quantity, the price is justified. Highly recommend this! Would update this post with an FOTD soon, I could not click a pic in daylight.

Also, Sunset Glow is one other super pretty shade from this range worth checking out.
