June 2017 Fab Bag Review & Unboxing

June 2017 Fab Bag Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

I got the June Fab Bag right now, I haven’t been keeping well and wasn’t going to do a video. But I thought of quickly doing one since many of you like and wait for the unboxing video.

The theme for this month is the ‘Boho Chic’ bag and the bag looks like a jute one. It is quite simple but sturdy and nice for travel.

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

Products I got:

  • Johara Creme Rich Lip Colour Cocoa Delight- Full size -Rs.395
  • Sugar Twist & Shout Fadeproof Kajal Black Velvet- Full size- Rs.399
  • BioBloom Foot Cream- Rs.335/- for 50g
  • APS Cosmetofood Activated Organic Spring Water- Rs.270/- for 50ml

I got 4 products in total, 2 full sized and 2 deluxe sized samples, the foot cream almost feels full sized but it’s not mentioned on the card.

Organic Spring Water is like Micellar water meant to cleanse and remove your makeup. I like the fact that it has a spray and cap and is perfect for travel.

The lipstick and kajal also look good, BioBloom products are all natural and chemical free, so looking forward to trying all the things.

The total value of the products in this month’s bag comes to around Rs.1500/- and I do recommend the June 2017 Fab Bag.

What did you get in your June Fab Bag?

PAC Colorlock Longlasting Lipliners & Matte Eyeshadow Palette Review, Swatches

PAC Colorlock Longlasting Lipliners & Matte Eyeshadow Palette Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

So apart from the new Retro Matte Gloss V2.0 (Review HERE), I have also been using the new shade additions in the PAC Colourlock Longlasting Lip Liners and the matte eyeshadow palette since quite some time now, and here are my thoughts..

Claims: 

  • Purely pigmented, Waterproof, Smudge proof, Pure matte
  • Long lasting power
  • Unique formula

MRP: Rs.385/- for 1.6g (Buy HERE)

New Shades:

  • So Spicy
  • Plush
  • Beauty Queen
  • Forever Fuchsia
  • Infinite Kiss
  • Hello Pink

PAC has Colorlock Longlasting Lip Liners since a long time, they had all shades of reds and pinks earlier. They have added these 6 new shades which are all nudes and browns and perfect for everyday wear and as a base under all lipsticks.

I love the color co-ordinated packaging, they match to shades and are easier to identify. Each shade name is marked in a nice big font on the center, which again makes it easy, rather than trying to read the small font on the edge of the pencil.

They have a black cap and the whole packaging is long, sleek and quite classy. They need to be sharpened, but they are quite easy to sharpen.

They are quite creamy and pigmented and glide on very easily on the lips. The finish is matte and slightly drying, but that makes the staying power longer. They stay for about 4-5 hours minimum.

L-R: So Spicy, Hello Pink, Infinite Kiss, Forever Fuchsia, Beauty Queen, Plush

I absolutely love the new shades, 3 of the nudes are my favourite and I also love the vampy Infinite Kiss. The nude ones would work under all the lipsticks, Forever Fuchsia under pinks and Infinite kiss for deep wine and vampy lipsticks. These would definitely make your lipstick last much longer and help give a nice definition to the lips. Especially on the edges and corners.

But they also work really well on their own, and I pretty much use these on their own. Plush, Beauty Queen and So Spicy are my favourites! I highly recommend this.

Though these are slightly expensive than other PAC lip liners, but the packaging and quality of Colorlock is pretty good. And compared to other brands, these are definitely a lot better.

PAC Matte Eyeshadow Palette

Claims: 

  • 7 velvety shades
  • Blends smoothly with the touch of your fingertips
  • A perfect palette with all the colours that you would need when warm browns are concerned with a super pigmented black

MRP: Rs.975/- (Buy HERE)

I was in love with this no. 2 matte eye shadow palette the moment I saw it! It is every neutral girl’s dream palette! I love warm neutrals and all shades of brown, and you definitely need those for crease, blending and merging other metallic and bright colours.

All the shades of brown in this palette are absolutely perfect for defining crease and outer corners and even lower lashline. These shadows can be used to create any look.

Not only are the shades perfect in colour, but they are also good in pigmentation and are easy to blend. Usually matte eye shadows are chalky in palettes and it is very difficult to get good pigmentation and creaminess when it comes to matte eye shadows. Few shades in Makeup Geek and theBalm palettes are the only ones from what I have tried, which are almost perfect when it comes to matte shadows. I would say PAC did a fabulous job here.

It also has this basic black long strip, coz you need more of black shadow to set your liner and even use as a liner. The pigmentation of this black shadow is mind blowing.

Of course, 1-2 are a little less pigmented than others and they also do have a slight kick back, but they blend very easily and are quick to work with.

I highly recommend this palette, it’s perfect for travel, economical and the only palette you will need, apart from 1-2 other shades to create from neutral day to smokey night to wedding/party or any look.

Have you tried these new launched from PAC? What do you think?

Rivaah Wedding Jewellery by Tanishq

Rivaah Wedding Jewellery by Tanishq

Hi guys,

Day before yesterday I went to the Tanishq showroom to checkout the new Rivaah collection, which is the special bridal collection launched by Tanishq

About Rivaah: Rivaah is an ode to the beautiful brides of India. As varied as the communities she hails from, the Indian bride looks absolutely resplendent in her wedding finery. Nurturing her hopes and dreams, and experiencing a myriad of emotions, she looks forward to her wedding day like no other, for this is the day she becomes one with her partner.

RIVAAH = RIWAAZ + VIVAAH

I love the name Rivaah, it is a combination (Sandhi in Sanskrit) of Riwaaz and Vivaah. They have rightly combined both ‘tradition’ and different types of ‘weddings’ in India, and brought together this special bridal collection catering to 13 different communities in India.

Doli & Swan Designs

They have kept in mind the traditions followed by the different communities and the signature wedding jewellery found in each community, for e.g. temple jewellery for South Indian brides, the jhalar design for Bengali brides, etc.,

Different communities they have covered:

  • Gujurati
  • Bengali
  • Bihari
  • Marathi
  • Kannada
  • Malayali
  • Marwari
  • Oriya
  • Punjabi
  • Rajasthani
  • Sikh
  • Tamil
  • Telugu

So whether you are a Bengali Bodhu or Gujurati Vadhu or a Punjabi Lari, and any kind of wedding jewellery you are looking for, you will find them all here.

Entire Bengali Trousseau

Also they have quite a few contemporary designs like swan and peacock, a doli bidai procession, dhol, etc., And a beautiful mix of uncut diamonds and gems with gold base for the modern bride.

The jadau and kundan sets are breathtaking, I absolutely loved the two I tried.

They have also covered every bridal function from mehendi to sangeet to the wedding and reception, and you will find a lot of pieces for each function from light to heavy.

As the wedding season is approaching, if you are a bride-to-be, I would definitely suggest checking out the new Rivaah collection by Tanishq as they have a perfect mix of trendy and classic bridal jewellery and the collection has something for every bride out there.

And no, these are not the pieces that you will just wear once and then would stay in the lockers forever, post your wedding. These are something which you can style in so many ways and wear for many different occasions.

Like this necklace I have worn here, is perfect for your cocktail or reception, but you can wear it again with an indo-western fusion outfit or a gown for your close friend or family wedding reception or cocktail. A royal wedding, a red carpet, would work everywhere. Even the gold pieces with detailed enamel work, can be paired with indo western outfits. You can wear just the earrings too for post wedding family dinners, etc.

They also have a beautiful collection of bangles and rings which you can mix and match with a lot of outfits.

There were so many pieces to choose from, I could only capture a few. I suggest going to your nearest Tanishq store and checking out the entire collection for yourself.

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayons Review, Swatches

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayons Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

I have been testing out the new Lakme Enrich Lip Crayons since quite some time now and here are my thoughts..

Claims: Get smooth and matte finish lips with this lip colour crayon by Lakmé that is infused with mineral powders. It has a soft texture and is available in 10 gorgeous shades that suit all Indian skin tones. It also has a rich blend of olive and jojoba oil that simultaneously conditions your lips. For your convenience, the all new Lakmé Enrich Lip Crayon comes with a sharpener.

Application: Step 1: Open the cap and start applying the product from the centre of your upper lip.
Step 2: Worked from the centre towards the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth.
Step 3: Glide the product across the entire bottom lip.
Step 4: This step is optional but you could use a tissue to blot out the extra product.

MRP: Rs.185/- (Buy HERE)

Shades Available:

  • 01 Berry Red
  • 02 Red Stop
  • 03 Candid Coral
  • 04 Mauve Magic
  • 05 Peach Magnet
  • 06 Pink Burst
  • 07 Shocking Pink
  • 08 Baby Pink
  • 09 Cinnamon Brown
  • 10 Blushing Pink

The packaging is exactly like color crayons, apart from the black cap, the qty of 14g is pretty good and each crayon comes with it’s own dual sided sharpener to sharpen whenever the tip gets blunt.

L-R: Berry Red, Red Stop, Candid Coral, Mauve Magic,
Shocking Pink, Cinnamon Brown

They have a semi matte finish, neither creamy nor the drying matte. And they stay for 3-4 hours, lighter colours of 2-3 hours but won’t survive full meal. It does survive tea and light snacks and fades away evenly and gradually. But they are very easy to carry along and reapply.

They are very comfortable and light weight on the lips and apply smoothly, do not tug at all. They do not accentuate dry patches and lines but they would be visible.

Overall, I feel they are pretty good value for money and I do recommend them. My favourite shades are Cinnamon Brown, Mauve Magic, Shocking Pink and Red Stop. Cinnamon Brown is the perfect MLBB shade for me, a must have everyday wear nude.

Best BB Creams for Summer

Best BB Creams for Summer

These days the harsh summers are unrelenting in their heat, so each one must take care of their skin from breaking too. BB creams hence are a total rage as different brands in India have presented new formulations and new types that suit diverse skin tones and types. BB stands for a beauty balm and even some context, a blemish balm.

BB creams are multi-taskers as they are all-rounders when talking about an all-round cream that can moisturize, protect the skin from sun and even work as a foundation. It is a moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, and foundation rolled all in one. Although they cannot conceal major flaws, but can even out skin tones easily. They are a boon for working women, who must face the harsh sun, work for long hours, and even suffer from faded skin due to too much exposure. Some women are BB cream junkies, and have literally tried almost every option available in the market. Although you might have failed to find the ideal BB cream for your own skin type, one can pick up one from the following list of the best BB creams that are effective this summer.

⦁ Maybelline Clear Glow Shine Free BB Stick

The BB stick is a favorite of many people during summers. If you have oily skin and need light to medium coverage with a brilliant matte effect, then this stick can deliver it. It also allows for quick application in a few strokes and the glow will always be there. There only 2 shades available for the stick though.

⦁ Garnier All in one Miracle Perfector BB Cream

This BB cream is great budget option that delivers the much-needed glow during summers. It can even out the skin tone beautifully and all people who have oily or normal skin can use it. It comes in a single shade but is perfect for all skin tones.

⦁ Ponds White Beauty BB + Fairness Cream

This Ponds cream is capable enough to brighten up the skin instantly with good coverage option for concealing minor flaws. The cream boasts of SPF 30 that is suitable for all skin types and lasts for about 6-7 hours. Its single shade will suit light to medium skin tones too.

⦁ Deborah Milano 5 in 1 BB Cream

This BB cream provides great coverage with a matte finish while also providing 6 whopping shades to choose from.

⦁ MAC Prep and Prime Beauty Balm – SPF 35

This prime beauty balm is an ideal BB cream for many as it consists of multiple shades along with high SPF. Although it is pricey, its features and range offers bang for the buck.

⦁ Maybelline Clear Glow BB Cream

This version is different than the stick version as if offers an ideal BB cream for normal to dry skin. Additionally, consumers prefer it owing to its low coverage and availability in three shades. Certainly, one of the favorites!

⦁ Colorbar Perfect Match Beauty Balm

Colorbar is a perfect BB for oily skin and in places where humidity is quite high. The balm can balance out skin tone giving out a warm, brightening effect. Although its price is not low-end, it certainly makes waves as a near-affordable option for people with oily skin.

⦁ L’oreal Paris True Match Skin Idealizing BB Cream

Now here is a BB cream that is indeed workable as its name suggests. It has a velvet finish and hence it is ideal for use on all skin types. It adapts to your skin tone very well looking very natural and is available in 3 shades.

⦁ Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream

This brand is from Korea and is known to be one of the most effective BB creams, certainly ranking as one of the very best. The good part is that the cream comes in 5 shades, with SPF 42. It is compatible with all types of skins and perfect for summers.

⦁ Clinique Age Defense BB Cream with SPF 30

The age defense BB cream includes several anti-oxidants, which repair skin and is also known for the amount of coverage and its SPF of 30 perfect for normal as well as oily skin. This is one BB cream that is priced high but certainly a favorite for anyone who do not feel price is any issue.

The above list includes some of the best BB creams in the country which are available at Shoppers Stop.

Reviving 50’s fashion: Skirts in vogue this Summer

Reviving 50’s fashion: Skirts in vogue this Summer

By Ankita  

1. 

The 1950s: World war is just over and people’s mind seep with liberated ideas and view. It was also a time of transition for the fashion world. Women, now venerated from preconceived ideas of feminism now opted for more of an outlandish look, never ignoring the classy quotient.

2. 

The Vintage Era: Welcome aboard the vintage era. Fashion at this time was marked by a rather girl-next- door yet glamorous look. The dressing style of the 5o’s always fascinated me, however, what really caught my attention were the skirts

Flirty Fashion: SKIRTS

Playful, innocently flirty, these twirl-y pieces of fabric are a must-have in every girl’s wardrobe, what I believe. Skirts have gone through some major transformations over the years, however, no one wore it better than the 50’s ladies. Here are a few trending ideas that will make you the girl-next-door diva, without making it look as if you just jumped out of a medieval circus. Want a bit classy elegance wrapped in playful fashion? Stay tuned mon cheries

A. The Play Date: Full Circle skirts

These skirts were an everyday essential for women in the 50’s. Full circle skirts have a waistband just above the natural waistline, giving an illusion of thinness. They make the hips look fuller and waist smaller, and are absolutely figure flattering.

3. 

4. 

Colours to go for this summer: Aquamarines, pastel shades of salmon and pink would suit the look best!!

Team it up with: A pair of light salmon peep toes and animal print tees and you are all set for your play date

B. For the ‘Not-so- girly-yet- girly’ Girl: Half Circle Skirts

Not the Barbie girl? This one’s just for you. A little less flashy than full circle skirt, half circle skirts have less flare at the hem. Women with naturally fuller hips would find it extremely flattering. Somewhere in between an A-line and a full circle skirt, these skirts are perfect for an everyday outing and even official parties.

5. 

6. 

Colours to go for this summer: Tan brown, off-white shades with tiny symmetrical prints and especially shades of royal blue look best on these.

Team it up with: A pair of ballerina flats or Jelly shoes ( tan colors look best) and high-neck soft cotton blouses which are a few shades darker than your skirt. There you go, my sweet tomboy!

C. Paris is always a good idea: Poodle skirts

Poodle skirts are an absolute favourite of mine!! They remind of the streets of Paris and famous song ‘La vie en rose’. These are one such style statement that has lasted the decades. They come with very catchy embroideries like kitties, Eiffel tower, telephones and even, statements such as ‘See you later alligator’

7. 

8. 

Colours to go for this summer: Without a question of doubt, baby pinks, Fuchsia, and light greys!!

Team it up with: A pair of cone heels or stilettos. Keep the top simple as your poodle skirt deserves most of the attention. Casual half sleeve blouses or even a very simple, tucked in, semi-formal shirt would go well with it. And your carriage is ready mademoiselle….

D. For ‘always chasing the ice cream van’ girl: Gathered Skirts

Hands up for how many of you are still stuck up in the school age! Me for sure. This one is for “I do not care what they think, I will have my ice cream" personalities. These look fabulous on women without much natural hip since the bulky band gave instant curves.

9. 

10. 

Colours to go for this summer: When it comes to gathered skirt, it is more about the print than colour. Big bright prints on the hemline, light summer checks in shades of blue and pinks suit the look best. However, you can pretty much experiment a lot with gathered skirts.

Team it up with: A pair of oxfords or kitten heels, a few shades lighter than your attire. Buttoned up shirts in very pale and light shades compliment this look very well. Go and get your ice cream girl!!!!

E. For the Lady of the house: Pencil Skirts

Who said pencil skirts can be boring and stereotypical?? Pencil skirts are one of the most figure flattering attires on the face of the earth! However, a modified version of pencil skirts are sheath skirts which are more comfortable. But my favourite version of pencil skirts are mermaid skirts or fishtail skirts. They balance out proportion beautifully well and suit almost all body shapes

11. 

12. 

Colours to go for this summer: As opposed to the usual black and grey, go for burnt oranges and teal colours this summer.

Team it up with: A pair of really good pumps and formal shirt, even a t-shirt. Top it off with a pale pastel colour blazer and you are all set to work, work, work, work…work.

F. For the Bay Watch Babe: Gypsy skirts

The world is going gaga over boho fashion. However, did you know that the gypsy style skirt comes from a long lost lineage of tiered skirts? Also referred to as layered skirts, these are perfect for beach outings. Long, flowy and mystic when combined with the right accessories and top, they make you look like a Greece-ian Goddess and is a win-win over bikini anytime any day. Period.

13. 

14. 

Colours to go for this summer: Shades of pastel pink, salmon, cool light brown and sea-green would rock this look. However, the fabric is most as it needs to be extremely lightweight and flowy, with a hint of shimmer, to give you that mythical iridescent look.

Team it up with: A chiffon crop top or halter neck with a bejewelled neckline will complement these skirts best. A pair of gladiators, add on some boho trinkets, are you a goddess of the seas or what??!!!!

Who said classy can’t be sassy? These were my ideas of 1950s fashion revival with a little bit of my own twist. What are yours?

Any suggestions, comments, and ideas are always welcome 🙂

Red Sandalwood Pack for Glowing Skin – DIY

Red Sandalwood Pack for Glowing Skin – DIY

By Sanchita

My skin suddenly started getting dry and dull. There was always a glow but of lately I have seen it getting dull day by day. I have naturally oily and acne prone skin and therefore I never had to face skin peeling off my face. I tried facial oils and moisturizers but nothing could make a difference. I searched the internet for the ingredients and made this customized face pack. I have used this face pack throughout the winter and still using it. I noticed that with continuous usage, it kept my skin hydrated, glowing and pimple-free.

Read on to know how I prepare this face pack.

Ingredients

  • Besan/Gram Flour – 1tbsp.
  • Yogurt – 1tbsp.
  • Red Sandalwood Powder – ½ tbsp.
  • Rosehip Seed Oil (or any other facial oil that works for you) – few drops

Instructions

1. In a clean bowl, add 1tbsp. of Besan/Gram Flour.

2. Next, add ½ tbsp. Red Sandalwood Powder.

3. Add the 1tbsp. yogurt.

4. Add few drops of Rosehip Seed Oil. For extremely oily skin, you can also skip this step and add Aloe Vera juice instead.

5. With the help of a spoon, mix it well.

How to Apply

  • Always apply this face pack after cleansing your face. This will help the skin to benefit better from the ingredients.
  • Take a face pack brush and apply the face pack all over the face, leaving the eye area.
  • Keep it for 20-30 mins and wash off with cold water.
  • Pat the skin dry and apply a facial oil or moisturizer.

Benefits of The Ingredients Used

RED SANDALWOOD POWDER

First and foremost, it nourishes the skin and offers the glow and radiance. The skin remains oil free yet sufficiently hydrated and also helps to exfoliate gently. It also prevents excess secretion of oil, even out the skin tone, remove sun tan and soothes flamed skin.

MRP: Rs.199/- for 100g (Buy HERE)

YOGURT

Yogurt is rich in lactic acid which is an alpha hydroxy acid that dissolves dead skin cells. It hydrates the skin without making it oily, prevents breakouts and also helps to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Also, yoghurt helps to lighten the blemishes and pigmentation.

BESAN/GRAM FLOUR

Besan works magically for my oily skin. It is one of the best natural cleanser and helps to lighten the dark spots and acne scars. It reduces excessive oiliness from the skin and fight pimples naturally.

ROSEHIP OIL

Rosehip Oil is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, especially Vitamin C, Vitamin A (retinol), and linoleic and linolenic acids. It is the only facial oil that works wonder without making my face oily. It is anti-ageing and never broke me out. My skin was peeling due to dryness but this oil prevented and also brought back the radiance and glow to the skin.

MRP: Rs.549/- for 30ml (Buy HERE)

I hope you see the difference too, just like I did. Do let me know in the comments below, if you try it.

Editor’s Note: I will surely try it Sanchita, have to get rosehip oil now.

Have you tried red sandalwood based face packs?

Busting Shaving Myths – Part 2

Busting Shaving Myths – Part 2

Hi guys,

If you remember I had previously done a post  busting shaving myths, read HERE

So today I am busting another shaving myth.

Myth 2: Shaving leaves skin dry and flaky

Shaving is a form of mild exfoliation as it removes the top layer of dead skin cells along with the hair. So you feel your skin is dry/flaky if it is dehydrated and not moisturized enough! If your skin is well moisturized and then you take a shower and shave, the skin is soft and moist and you can shave in ease. Also it won’t leave any dry flakes or scaly skin.

Using the Gillette Venus Satin Shave Gel makes a huge difference in your shave and how your skin feels after! I tried one leg normally and one leg with the Satin Shave Gel, the one with the shave gel was much more moisturized and softer. And now I have switched to the new Gillette Venus Breeze, so my skin is soft and moisturized even without a separate shaving gel, because of the attached soap gel bars.

Always moisturize your skin well post shaving! The dryness, itchiness and flaky skin is only because skin is craving moisture, it is not because of shaving. If your skin will be moisturized well before and after shaving and you use the Satin Shave Gel or the new Breeze razor, there will no dry, flaky skin for sure!

I hope your doubts on skin being dry/flaky post shaving are solved. If you have any other questions related to shaving, please feel free to ask in the comments below and I would be happy to answer.

Do you shave? How has your experience been with shaving?

Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach Review

Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach Review

Hi guys,

Summers are at it’s peak right now, as it’s May, the hottest month in India. And we all face a lot of skin problems in summers. Let’s talk a bit about that..

Skin problems we face in summers

The scorching summer heat, dust, pollution, stress and our lifestyle impact the oxygen levels in our skin. That brings along a lot of skin issues like

  • Dull Skin
  • Uneven Skin tone
  • Dead Skin Cells
  • Sun Tan
  • Dark Spots

Today I am reviewing the new Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach. I am not someone who bleaches regularly, I was a little wary of bleaching and used to do it occasionally. I met Dr. Rashmi Shetty at an event and asked her about bleaching, if it is bad for the skin, and to my surprise, she said not at all. She said you just need to add moisture and hydration to the skin, if you take care of it, then bleaching does no harm.

So I am quite confident about bleaching now. I have used the Oxylife bleach previously, but not this new variant and I thought of giving this a try.

Claims and Features of Oxylife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach: Gone are those days when bleaching caused a row of sirens blazing in your head. With Oxy Life Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach, your skin will feel pampered like a queen.

  • Enriched with active oxygen and post bleach skin radiance serum, here’s a bleach wonder that will make your life easy
  • Helps in eliminating dark spots
  • Helps even skin tone and remove sun tan
  • Helps repair dull skin and cleanses dead skin cells
  • Suitable for sensitive skin

Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach has patented German Technology – Oxysphere, which enables Pure Oxygen molecules to be penetrated inside the skin, giving it pure boost of Oxygen, leaving it naturally radiant.

It is also enriched with Vitamin E and Glycerin to help condition, brighten and nourish the skin and help solve 5 skin problems to give a naturally radiant looking skin.

MRP: Rs.35/- for 9g (one time use), Rs.80/- for 27g (3 uses)

Benefits of Bleaching

Bleaching helps add oxygen to the skin, making it brighter and helps in evening out skin tone and fading acne spots, etc. It also helps remove dead skin cells and repair dull skin, making it look more vivid and glowing. If you are targeting to eliminate acne scars and spots, you should do it regularly. Bleach can be used every 21 days.

How to use:

Oxylife is widely used in salons, and anytime I happen to go and ask them which bleach do they use, majorly it’s always Oxylife.

It comes with the creme bleach, powder activator, spatula, post bleach serum and an instructions manual. The creme bleach and powder activator is to be mixed in the ratio of 7:1. If you are not sure of the measurements, you can buy the one time use pack and mix both in the quantity given.

I have the 3 time use pack with me, and if you follow me on Snapchat, you must have already seen me using this.

You can mix the creme and powder in the dish that comes in the creme tub. Mix it well till the powder dissolves.

Steps of application:

  • Remove all makeup with a makeup remover and wash your face.
  • Pat dry with a tissue/paper towel.
  • Apply the bleach first on the Y zone i.e. the neckline, jaw and chin
  • Then on the the T zone i.e. the forehead, upper lip and nose
  • And in the last 5 minutes on the C zone i.e. the cheeks
  • Avoid eyes, lips, eyebrows completely. Keep it on for 10 minutes if you have deep skin, 15 minutes for wheatish skin and a little bit longer if you have fair skin.

I kept it for 10-15 minutes and washed it with normal water. I saw an immediate difference on my skin! Skin was more even toned and clear looking. The tan was all gone, and there was a fresh glow to the face.

It also works on dark spots, but with regular use, once every 21 days.

Few Pointers:

  • A patch test is recommended for first-time users.
  • Cleanse the skin well and pat dry, before use.
  • Creme Bleach and the activator powder should be used in the ratio of 7:1, Mix the crème bleach and powder activator for 2 minutes with the spatula provided till powder activator completely dissolves.
  • Apply the mixture on the area to be bleached.
  • Avoid application on eyebrows and around the eyes.
  • Wash off the application with water and Apply the post-bleach serum.
  • Bleach should be used once in every 21 days
  • Do not use soap/face wash for 5 hours after bleach.
  • Avoid going into sunlight immediately.

Why Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Creme Bleach

It comes with the post bleach skin radiance serum that is very moisturizing. I can feel the glycerin in the serum and it hydrated the skin well. I do not use anything else on my face for about 12-15 hours and avoid going out. I would recommend bleaching in the evening, so that you can skip direct exposure to sunlight. Learn more about how to use oxygen bleach for face (OxyLife)

I love the fact that this is ammonia free. Whenever you bleach, go for ammonia free bleach only. My eyes get irritated and water a lot during bleach, and I was surprised that this did not irritate my eyes at all.

It fights all skin problems that come along with sun exposure, stress and pollution and gives a healthy looking radiant and glowing skin! Skin gets more oxygen, and it repairs dull skin and helps in fading acne scars/spots.

It comes in different sizes,  the one time use pack is perfect for travel too.

Overall, I am really happy with the results. It does what it claims, and I highly recommend trying this out.
