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.

L’Oreal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence SPF30 UVB UVA PA+++ Review
What the Company claims: L’Oréal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence with SPF 30 PA+++ and a PPD of 15.5, thus ensuring a high level of protection against both UVA and UVB. It is also enriched with Advanced Mexoryl XL Filters that protect against broad spectrum UVA/UVB rays, Adenosine that repairs deep skin damage and fights wrinkles, and Vitamin E that helps fight against free radicles and external stress.
Other than the expert sun protection provided by this product, it is also extremely suited to the humid Indian climate. Aqua Essence is the first product from the L’Oréal Paris UV perfect range thatis a lightweight gel composition making it feel like water when applied on the skin. It is fresh, non-greasy, non-sticky and quickly gets absorbed into the skin.
Results, Usage:
It is designed to not only provide extreme sun-protection, but also keep the skin hydrated and feeling fresh, supple and smoother. With UV Perfect Aqua Essence the protection you apply is the protection you get all day!
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.475/- for 30ml
So, a sunscreen by L’Oreal Paris which has Mexoryl XL Filters which are supposed to be the most stable protectant against the sun, is a nice idea.
I like the easy, simple, tube packaging..it is easy to carry and travel with.
Its a white runny lotion and not water like as they claim to be..but surely easy to blend and sink in and much lighter..no blending required and no whitish cast issue here.
Also, it might be slightly rich and shiny for oily skin..you do not get the matte look with this. I love the fact that it has UVA, UVB protection and SPF30 PA+++ with a very high PPD of 15.5. Its a savior against the sun..it also helped protect the face somewhat,against tanning.
See how water like light and thin it is..
But, its slightly on the expensive side..as 30 ml would hardly last you a few weeks if used religiously everyday and you can’t think of using it on your body as you might finish it off in less than a week then! :p
And since its SPF30, you will definitely need to reapply after 3-4 hours to remain protected. Also, I am not sure of the againts brown spots and premature skin ageing claim.
Overall, I would say, I like the protection factor and that it helps against tanning and is very light with no whitish cast issue..but it definitely needs reapplication under the sun..and might not suit oily skin. I think its good to carry along and can be a ‘bag essential’ as its quite travel friendly.

It adds a desired pop of color with a meltingly soft application. The lipstick contains light oils, crystalline wax, transparent blenders and pearl pigments that deliver true color with a weight-less comfort.

Shades Available: 10
Mauve Cherie
Cheeky Magenta
Sweet Berry
Dating Coral
Hypnotic Red
Impulsive Fuchsia
Irresistible Espresso
Rock N Mauve
Rose Mademoiselle
Aphrodite Scarlet
First of, I love the packaging..the gold L’oreal Paris panel at the centre..where it shut clicks..and the transparent outer..looks nice..it has a sweet fruity smell but not too overpowering..
There are reds,corals,mauves and browns in this range.
It has this super glossy sheen to it..and the color in the tube looks like so bright but when you apply them, they are just like glosses..goes smooth and gives that shine and colour..
They are quite moisturising too and easy to apply..you don’t even need a mirror with these lipsticks 😀
They stay for around 2 hours without eating/drinking..staying power is the only issue with these..but then you can easily reapply..super easy to touch up as I mentioned before..it leaves behind a soft stain which stays for another 1-2 hours.
L- Mauve Cherie, R- Irrestible Espresso
102 Mauve Cherie is a true mauve shade.
602 Irresistible Espresso looks brown in the tube..but its quite a wearable glossy milky brown..good for office wear.
T- Irrestible Espresso, B- Mauve Cherie
And here are they on me..
L- Mauve Cherie, R- Irrestible Espresso
Pros:
1. Lip gloss in lipstick form.
2. Moisturising.
3. Wearable colors..there is one for everyone..reds,corals,pinks,mauves,browns.
4. Very glossy.
5. Easy to apply and for touch ups.
6. Chic packaging.
7. Economical.
8. Feels light on the lips.
Cons:
1. Transfers.
2. Staying power is not so good.
Overall, I would say, these are good for daily use..when you need a light wash of color with the sheen..or even for your formal everyday wear..and something you don’t mind touching up. But not for days when you need full impact color or long staying pigmented lipstick. Not a must have but worth a try.

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 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.
