Ingredients:

It comes in a black case packaging with a transparent bottom..where the actual shade of the lipstick can be seen. I loved the fact that the majority of the shades are from the pink family. The case is quite sturdy and nice..
The lipsticks are super creamy and pigmented..these have to be handled with care and stored in a cool place in summers if you live in a place with hot climate as these would tend to melt..these are so pigmented that you need just a swipe of color to cover the lips..and the staying power is amazing too..I am quite surprised by these..as they score well in all departments..texture, creaminess, pigmentation, staying power..
04 First Lady is a bright carrot pink shade..now I was expecting it to be a lighter shade of pink but it is quite bright..I am wondering how much bright the other shades like Neon Dahilia and Ultra Pink would be 😀 Though the shade in one swipe can be an everyday shade for me..it does light up the whole face in 2 swipes or more..I quite love the shade and how it brightens up the face..and this shade is so versatile that it would look good on all complexions..whether you are fair or medium or dusky..you cannot go wrong with this shade.
Here it is on me..
Pros:
 
1. I love the texture..these are super creamy.
2. Quite liked the black sturdy packaging with the color of the shade at the bottom.
3. Very pigmented.
4. Most of the shades are from the pink family..there is one pink for each one of you..of your choice..if you trying to find some particular shade of pink..you should check out this range.
5. This shade instantly brightens up the face.
6. The staying power is amazing. It stays for a good 4-5 hours and leaves a pretty pink tint behind.
7. This shade would suit all skin tones.
 
Cons:
 
1. To be stored well..especially in summers.
2. Faces is not available everywhere and though its available online..sometimes it is important to check out the swatches on our own.
3. The names do not match the shades..Fiery Orange is actually a pink shade and French Rose is an orange.
 
No other cons with this..I surely recommend this shade to everyone and you would not go wrong with this shade. The range is worth checking out for bright shades..especially pinks.

Ingredients:

MRP: 1.0 fl. oz Bottle(30 ml)- $43.00 (Rs. 2750/- here)

1.7 fl. oz Bottle- $68.00

It has this dark blue packaging with a black dipper cap. The dipper helps you get the exact quantity..i.e 2-3 drops of it. I quite liked the packaging..the only thing is since its glass it needs to be handled with care..though the glass is quite thick to break just like that.

The main ingredient being evening primrose oil and lavender oil..it has a wonderful smell..which even helps you sleep better..you just need 2-3 drops of it..and so it lasts real real long.

I am using it from the last 3 weeks and its still almost full. I love the lavender smell..its quite soothing. It does make the skin appear healthier and plumper the next day. Even though its a serum and has oils in it..the texture is not sticky or oily..and gets instantly absorbed into the skin. If you have had a stressful or tired skin of late and need to attend an important event…this thing would help you for sure !

Pros:

1. Quite like the ingredients.
2. Does make the skin more radiant, even toned, healthier and plumper.
3. It even helps in drying out your acne and heal them faster.
4. Though its expensive, it lasts real long as you just need 2-3 drops of it.
5. I liked the packaging…there is no scope of any wastage whatsoever.
6. Naturally derived and paraben, fragrance and mineral oil free.
7. Does what it claims.
8. Would help replenish tired skin.

Cons:

1. Has to be stored well..away from light and handled with care.

No other cons as such..I would surely recommend it..in fact it has been recommended by 93% of people on their site too. I would suggest you to try this..especially if you are a bride to be. And I found it much better than the Lancome Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate which is priced almost double and did not do anything for my skin at all.

6. I loved the entire collection of shades..and also that it has more of pinks, corals, rosy browns and nude pinks and browns.

7. It does not settle into fine lines and gives a creamy finish to the lips.

Cons:

1. It gets collected at the outer edges..a common problem with these slim lipsticks.

2. Not available here..:(

I cannot think of any other cons..I am so in love with it..This is surely a must try..And it has 97% recommendation by users on its site too..Apart from Rose Brown, I also like Twilight, Uber Pink, Pink Buff, Coral Pink…sigh..so many !

How To Get Rid of Wrinkles and Dark Spots- Top 5 Ways

Yes, you may have a substitute for hair in the form of costume wigs but there is no way you can replace damaged skin. So, it is important that you take your skin care seriously.

If you are in field job and spend most of your time in the sun then you would surely notice freckles and brown spots on your face, sooner or later. This is result of the excess production of melanin, which is produced by the body naturally to shield the body against the harmful effects of UV rays. Without a doubt, sunscreen and regular exfoliation helps in preventing and fading out the dark spots and help you restore the original radiance. Read below to find out top 5 ways to fade out dark spots and freckles:

 1.  Home remedy: Mix the equal proportions of horseradish root, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Then apply this mixture using the cotton swab on dark spots and freckles. This magical portion will fade the dark spots and enhance the natural turnover process of the skin cells.

2.   Spice: Turmeric, a magical Indian spiced widely used in cooking is well known to reduce hyper pigmentation. Look for a cream that is rich in turmeric content. For full and best results use the cream twice a day.

3.  Vitamin B3: Is known to increase the turnover of the skin cells and slow down the pigmentation process. Prefer the serums and cream that have this supervitamin as their ingredient.

4.   Tri-luma and Renova:  Consult your doctor about Tri-luma and Renova, the two well known lightening creams. Renova and Retin A contains the similar active ingredient. Retin A is well known for treating acne-prone skin type, Renova is an emollient cream that helps in treating fine lines, wrinkles, roughness, stretch marks and dark spots. A perfect combination of hydroquinone and Retin A makes Tri-Luma. It is best anti-inflammatory cream.

5.   Laser treatment: Laser treatment though very beneficial is very expensive method to treat wrinkles and dark spots. Only two laser processes are known for treating dark spots: Fraxel and Medilite C6. Each session of Fraxel costs almost $1,00 and 3-6 sessions are must for the best results whereas Medilite C6 costs roughly $400 per session.

With these 5 simple and easy steps it is now possible to bid adieu to wrinkles, freckles and dark spots.

-Elasticolor™ technology provides immediate color release and hugs lips with a burst of weightless color that feels like a second skin
-Available in 20 gorgeous shades, including 5 new shades!

EXPERT TIPS:

Apply directly to lips for beautiful, high impact color. Can be worn with or without lipliner.

Ingredients:

Shades available:

  • Lilac
  • Mauve
  • Peach
  • Soft Rose
  • Rosy Nude
  • True Red
  • Crimson
  • Plum
  • Raspberry
  • Blush
  • Baby Pink

5 new shades introduced are…

  • Icy Nude

  • Petal
  • Pink Sugar
  • Candy Pink
  • Cherry Ice

I am not sure if these new shades are available in India yet..I have not seen them anywhere yet..

MRP: Rs.580/- for 3.7g

The shade I am reviewing is 075 Peach..its a true nude peach shade with some fine shimmer…which is not much visible but gives glossy effect to the lips.

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks have this nice packaging..a rectangular shaped black case with criss cross patterns and the color of the shade it is on top. It has Revlon embossed on the lipstick bullet.

These are very creamy and moisturising and you can easily skip a lip balm with it. They have a slightly weird smell..but not too strong or bothering.

Now I had heard mixed reviews about the shade Peach…coz it washes out some..so I was not too sure..but I loved the shade so much that I could not resist getting it and I am glad I did…it does not wash me out at all..instead it gives a soft peachy sheen to lips..and in one swipe its quite a MLBB for me !

But as its a light shade..it would not cover pigmentation if you have pigmented lips..with one swipe it gives a soft peachy sheen and its quite buildable…and with 2-3 swipes it gives you perfect peachy lips. But the staying power of these is ok..it stays for 2-3 hours without eating or drinking..and lesser with it..but leaves a tint behind.

And how it looks on me…

Pros:

1. Very creamy and moisturising.

2. These are quite buildable…and darker shades are more pigmented.

3. I love the Peach shade..and would surely recommend it if you are around NC 35-37 or below…gives a nice peachy sheen to lips.

4. This does not settle into fine lines.

5. I liked the black case and packaging.

6. These are quite sturdy and easy to carry around.

7. Has a shelf life of 3 years.

8. Feels very light on lips..you would not even feel you are wearing a lipstick.

Cons:

1. Expensive for a lipstick but though these are very good in quality.

2. This shade would not show up on pigmented lips and would wash out people above NC 40.

3. 3.7g of quantity offered is quite less compared to other lipsticks which are normally 4 or 4.2g

Overall I quite like them and love the Peach shade in particular. I am eyeing Blush next..;)

All of these shades have little shimmer..but not all are OTT..I loved the shade Papaya the most followed by Strawberry and Rose Gold.
Papaya is a true coral orange with very fine golden shimmer which are not much visible or do not bother much.
These glosses are non sticky and quite moistursing. I love the long sleek packaging of these..and the applicator is such that it exactly fits the shape of your lips. They have a sweet vanilla smell.

Pros:
1. These are totally non sticky and very creamy and moisturising.

Garnier Anti Dark Circles Tinted Eye Roll On Review

What the Company claims: Dark circles not only make you look tired but also darken your eye contour. Garnier introduces Light Anti Dark Circles 2-in-1 Tinted Eye Roll-on, the 1st refreshing roll-on with dual anti dark circles action.

Instant covering action: Concentrated in mineral pigments, it covers dark circles in a flash. Giving you soft, natural looking finish for long lasting wear.
Anti dark circle hydrating care: Enriched with caffeine and pure lemon essence, known for its brightening properties, it combines a hydrating formula and the draining effect of a massage to effectively reduce dark circles and reveal a radiant and fresh look.

Proven efficacy: Dark circles are perfectly covered and appear reduced. Eye contour is refreshed and brighter.

Its unique formula blends a moisturising cream with selected active ingredients.
Pure Lemon Essence & Vitamin C to clarify & smoothen skin.
Long Dan extract to help slow down skin darkening.
Glycerin to moisturise and comfort the skin.
UVA & UVB’s to protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

Directions: Apply Garnier Anti Dark Circles Eye Roll-on to the eye contour area in light circular massaging movements. The liquid will be applied automatically via the roller ball. If necessary, use your fingertips to spread evenly.

Recommended usage: Twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.

MRP: Rs. 199/- for 15ml

Its available in two shades..Medium and Fair in India..

Medium has yellow undertones whereas Fair has a little pink undertones.

It has this steel roller ball tip which feels very cooling on application. Its easy to spread but needs to be blended in with the ring finger and fast before it dries..its in a liquid form which dries super fast..so if you have dry skin you might need an eye cream coz this is not creamy and moisturising types.

Mehak used this as an eye primer in emergency and I used it for concealing a few spots when I did not have a concealer handy and this did work ! But either ways for the under eyes or overall it gives a very light coverage..so if you have heavy dark circles it might not work for you.

Unblended
Blended

I find this very handy for daily use..and when you are in a hurry…it stays a decent 4-5 hours normally but lesser in more humid climate.

Pros:

1. Easy to use and handy.
2. Though there are just two shades available Medium shade would suit most of the Indian skin tones.
3. Economical.
4. Travel friendly.
5. Gives a nice cooling effect on application.
6. It does conceal lightly and give brighter eyes but not if you have heavy dark circles.

Cons:

1. May feel a little drying.
2. Light coverage.
3. It would not reduce dark circles as claimed.

Overall I quite liked it and found it handy enough coz I am most of the time in a hurry 😀

7 Beauty Tips for Sensitive Skin

Tips, Tips and Tricks, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Sensitive Skin

People with red hair, or who have Celtic, Irish, British or Scottish heritage often suffer from sensitive skin, which is characterized by very thin, fragile and pink colored skin.

Sensitive skin is often mistaken for allergy-prone skin. In sensitive skin the blood vessels and nerve endings are closer to the surface of the skin, which causes it to get irritated and redden easily from external or internal irritants. Not only can topical application of a cosmetic cause sensitive skin to redden, but so can eating spicy food, consuming caffeine or alcohol, taking niacin (Vitamin B3), exposure to sun or tobacco use.

Sensitive skin is much more likely to develop reactions and allergies to cosmetics, however many reaction to cosmetics for people with sensitive skin may not be associated with true allergies. It takes special attention to the details of foods and cosmetic ingredients to isolate what is causing simply red irritated skin and what is the cause of a true allergy. Either way anyone with sensitive skin knows that whether it is a true allergy or simply a reaction from sensitive skin it is desirable to avoid the cause of the reaction in the future.

7 tips for Sensitive Skin:

  • Avoid cedar wood at this ingredient, all be it naturally derived, can cause skin irritation
  • Don’t use pre purchased face cloths/wipes as these contain chemicals and artificial preservatives that can irritate sensitive skin types
  • Avoid coriander oil this can cause contact dermatitis
  • Splash your face with water before and after cleansing and use a face cloth with luke warm water (not hot!)
  • Avoid artificial fragrances. Not to be confused with natural fragrances – some of which can actually be healing!
  • Select a certified organic face cleanser
  • Be gentle with your skin – don’t rub and scrub vigorously, this can increase the sensitivity
