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.

Coquette
Enticing
Coy
I guess Demure and Provocateur are not launched in India.
Both these Lacquer Balms and the Matte Balms launched together..see the review and swatches of the Matte Balms HERE.
Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms come in a beautiful glossy metallic packaging. These are glosses in the form of lip crayons..super glossy but still pigmented.
The composition of three butters Shea, Mango and Coconut make these super hydrating and moisturising..
They are quiet light in texture..you do not feel like you have applied anything on lips..feels like a lip balm. These are quiet pigmented..the swatches are just one swipe..and after the glossines fades away..the color stays for more hours..especially the deeper colors like Vivacious here.
These have the same peppermint smell like in Kissable Balm Stains and Matte Balms. All of the shades have super fine minute shimmer which is not even visible unless seen very very closely..but this helps giving the shades that glossiness and high shine.
L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious
145 Ingenue is a perfect MLBB shade for me..a nude brown..its an everyday shade.
130 Tease is a beautiful coral orange..it looks amazing on warm skin tone..my favorite of the 3..also wore it HERE.
120 Vivacious is a pretty rosy pink (None of those fuchsias or blue undertone pinks)
Here are the swatches..
T-B: Vivacious, Tease, Ingenue
And here are they on moi..
L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious
And an FOTD with Vivacious..
Pros:
1. Super glossy.
2. High pigmentation.
3. Moisturising.
4. Deeper colors stay longer.
5. Like the glossy packaging.
6. All 8 shades are quiet nice..there is one for everyone.
7. Feels quiet light on lips.
Cons:
1. Little expensive.
2. Not transfer proof.
3. Lighter colors don’t stay that longer.
Overall, I would say I like the light texture and glossines..and the shades too..all three and in fact all 8 are pretty and nice..and perfect for all occasions..the one like Ingenue works for your everyday wear, formal wear too..Tease is a must have according to me..my favorite of the three..it looks beautiful on warm skin tones like ours..Vivacious is a clean, pretty rosy pink..one of the natural pinks..that would look good on everyone..I recommend all three ! In fact Flirtatious, a nice deeper pink and Enticing, a pretty red, are also nice shades from this collection. If you are a red lover..or want to try reds..you can try something glossy and light like Enticing.

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 Extraordinary Oil: The Extraordinary Oil has been scientifically created to give your hair the nourishment it truly deserves with three traditional oils and three exotic oils providing 6 specific benefits. It has no heavy feel or greasy look. Almond Oil –Makes your hair Thick, Coconut Oil – Makes your hair Manageable, Argan Oil –Gives your hair Strength, Jojoba Oil –Gives you Shiny hair, Olive Oil – Makes your hair Soft, Camelina Oil –Smoothens your hair
The first hair oil that is powered by 6 Micro Oils in a unique formula to provide 6 specific benefits. The Research & Innovation Centre at L’Oréal Paris in India have created perfectly balanced oil that that makes your hair look healthy and beautiful with a spectacular shine with every use.
6 oils-
Argan
Olive
Almond
Coconut
Jojoba
Camelina
6 benefits-
Strong
Soft
Smooth
Thick
Shiny
Manageable
Application: Apply on hair and scalp and gently massage before washing off. Can also be applied as a finishing touch.
L’oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo: The 6 Oil Nourish Shampoo has been created to provide complete nourishment to your hair from root to tip with 6 Micro Oils™making it soft, shiny, thick, strong, smooth and manageable.
Application : Massage gently into wet scalp/hair, lather and rinse for soft, nourished and healthy hair. Apply twice if required.
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.69/- for 75ml, Rs.138/- for 175 ml, Rs.235/- for 360ml (Buy on Flipkart here)
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.

Kama Ayurveda Pure Lavender Water Face & Body Mist Review
What the Company claims: Pure Lavender Water face & body mist
Handpicked from the wild in the Himalayas, this lavender water has unparalleled soothing properties that provides an instant boost to the skin and reduce stress. An excellent facial toner, it cools & refreshes in hot weather. The steam distillation process used to create this wonderful water ensures a high level of hygiene and purity.
No artificial colours. No artificial fragrance. No animal ingredients. No petrochemicals, parabens, urea, propylene glycol or sulphates. All our organic products are internationally certified. Not tested on animals.
100% Natural
MRP: Rs.725/- for 200ml
It also comes in a smaller travel sized version I believe..
Kama Ayurveda already has a rose water which is like quiet famous and their one of the most selling products..so now they also came up with Lavender water..
I, personally love lavender more than rose..so if I have to choose, I would go with Lavender.
It comes in a brown tinted plastic bottle with a nozzle spray and a plastic cap..the packaging is quite sturdy, travel friendly and good..no issued with the spray.
Kama Ayurveda Waters i.e rose, lavender, vetiver, sandalwood and mogra all act as toners basically. And purest forms of toner..
Love the lavender smell. It soothes and refreshes instantly..and is a must have in my bag in this scorching heat.
Pros:
1. Love the lavender smell.
2. Soothing and refreshing.
3. Very convenient to use..and the travel sized bottle would be perfect for travel.
4. Good sturdy packaging and spray.
5. Must have for summers.
6. Lavender Essential Oil also helps in insomnia..and I also spray it every night, just before sleeping 🙂
Cons:
1. Little expensive..but I guess this 200 ml would last real long..coz I am using it everyday..and its not even 10% empty yet..so totally worth it.
Overall, I would say, it is not something that makes tall magical claims..it is meant to soothe and refresh the skin..and give the skin a boost in these horrible summers..and it does exactly that.
You can choose any Kama Ayurveda Water out of the five, depending on your choice. I love Lavender and I would be sticking to this 😀

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms Sultry and Unapologetic Review, Swatches
What the Company claims: Velvety Matte Look. Moisture Rich Balm
A Matte finish that’s beyond plush.Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 8 collectible, craveable colors.
MRP: Rs.800/- for 2.7g
Shades Available: 8
Elusive
Sultry
Unapologetic
Shameless
Audacious
Mischievous
Striking
Standout
The packaging is almost the same as the Revlon Kissable Lip Balm Stain..the retractable chubby pencils..the outer finish is though matte and darker..
They have the same peppermint smell and flavour as the Lip Balm Stains..though these Matte Balms and the Lacquer Balms have a blend of 3 butters..Shea, Mango and Coconut..which makes them more hydrating and moisturising..
Matte lipsticks and balms are not easily available across all brands..MAC makes good matte lipsticks..Revlon has a matte range..but very selected matte lipsticks are that good and hydrating too..these are matte with a velvety finish.
Revlon has almost nailed it with these Matte Balms..pigmentation- check, matte texture- check, staying power- check. Almost all good qualities of a matte lipstick/lip product..only thing is its not completely transfer proof..and cannot be layered for touch up..as it can go patchy..it needs to be removed and reapplied..
L- Sultry, R- Unapologetic
225 Sultry is a deep pink brown..supposedly MAC Twig dupe..but I am not really sure.
210 Unapologetic is a bright reddish coral pink..dupe of MAC Lipstick in Impassioned (Impassioned its slightly deeper) and Party Parrot – Limited Edition (Almost similar.. 95%)
I think Unapologetic is also the most loved shade in the Indian blogosphere..I personally love it ! Totally brightens up the face.. Also wore it HERE.
U- Sultry, D- Unapologetic
Here are the shades on me..
L- Sultry, R- Unapologetic
Lips look a little drier with Unapologetic coz Sultry was removed completely which left lips little dry..
And an FOTD with Unapologetic..
Pros:
1. Love the velvetty matte look.
2. Amazingly pigmented.
3. Staying power is pretty good.
4. All 8 shades are quite pretty..there is one for everyone..red lovers, pink lovers, especially Unapologetic is beauty bloggers’ favorite !
5. Hydrating..even though its matte.
6. Feels light on the lips.
Cons:
1. Not transfer proof.
2. Cannot be layered as goes patchy.
Overall, I am in love with the feel and texture of these matte balms..they score on all levels..Highly recommended !
Unapologetic is my most worn shade these days..I also love Audacious, Striking and Elusive..oh I think I love all the shades..the colors are all fab..

Which shades doyou like ?? Any particular favorites ?
Remember I had shared the new of Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks first on my blog HERE. So today let us review 2 of those shades..out of the 20.
What the Company claims: Mix & Match to Customize Your Palette. Mix. Match. Click. With new Revlon ColorStay® ShadowLinks, now you can create your own customized palette of possibilities. Each individual eye shadow easily snaps together to create your own unique combination every time.

20 shades of clickable, customizable mix and match colors;

All-day wear.
EXPERT TIPS:
1. Pick your favorite shade
2. Add any shade from the same shade family
3. Add a light neutral to highlight
4. Plus a deep neutral to define
To start with, I loved this concept of mix and match and create your own palette..you get to customize your own shades..and create your own duos, trios and quads..you can detach and attach it however, whenever you want, for travel, etc too..And you get different finishes and different types of colors..from neutrals to pastels to brights..
The small black single shadow..has a slider on both sides..where another eyeshadows can be slid and clicked to attach..the packaging is quite cute too..
Clicked together
All shades have different pigmentation and staying power..some are more pigmented while some are drier or sheerer..
130 Seafoam is a pastel bluish mint..its decently pigmented..and stays for 4-5 hours..I am not into pastel eyeshadows much..but if you like pastels, you should check this out..
260 Copper is a sheer true copper..it needs to be builded up..its a kinda of shade you can wear as it is with just a winged liner when you want to emphasize more on lips..like a good warm neutral..and would look great with Indian outfits..it stayed for a good 4-5 hours and without any creasing..without a primer too.
Here is an EOTD with the shade Copper..
Pros:
1. Nice mix and match and customization concept.
2. Cute packaging.
3. Quite economical.
4. 20 shades to choose from.
5. Different finishes from matte to shimmer.
6. Stayed well for 4-5 hours without primer and without any creasing.
Cons:
1. Some shades are drier and sheerer..not all have good pigmentation.
Overall, I would say I quite like them..but check individual shades and their pigmentation before making your customized palette..
I love Onyx, Eggplant, Java and Taupe..eyeing those 😀

Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of epilating with an in-water epilator?
Warm water relaxes and soothes your skin. The warmth improves your micro-circulation, stimulates the production of pain-reducing substances and makes your skin less sensitive. This is why the tugging sensation is considerably reduced in water. This is confirmed by a study conducted by the German dermatologist Dr. med. Petra Staubach at the University of Mainz. The majority of participants felt no or only a slight tugging sensation.
Is it safe to use the Braun Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator in the shower and bath?
Braun Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator is 100 per cent waterproof and is safe for usage in or out of the shower and bath. The product features an automatic shut off mechanism that ensures the appliance only operates once the cord is removed from the mains power and recharger dock. This safety mechanism guarantees that the appliance cannot be taken into the water and operated so there is no safety concern of using an electric appliance in/with water.
I have never epilated before–how should I go about it?
Braun’s Silk-épil epilators are the perfect choice for first-time users. Epilating on wet skin with the Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator is especially gentle and perfect for under the shower or in your bath. Still, if you are inexperienced, you may feel a little discomfort during your first epilating sessions. This will decrease with each session, as the skin adjusts to the process. Also, the individual hairs grow back at different speeds depending on their particular growth cycle, so that there will be less hair to remove after the first epilation.
Does more hair grow back if I epilate?
No, this has been proven in dermatological tests. In fact, studies show that ongoing epilation reduces the amount of hair regrowth.
How do I best prepare my skin for epilating?
The best preparation for epilating is a nice, warm shower. It will leave your skin clean and relaxed. Be sure to use a gentle, pH-neutral shower gel, and keep the water warm, not hot, to avoid drying out your delicate skin. Epilation on wet skin with the Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator is even gentler and perfect for use in the shower or bath.
Is epilation painful?
Silk-épil epilators have been developed especially to minimise any discomfort and irritation. Cooling wet wipes from Olay prime the skin beforehand and massaging rollers help to relax the skin as you use the epilator. Being able to use the product in water also reduces discomfort and irritation as the warmth of the water releases endorphins–the body’s natural pain reliever.
Ok..so at first, let me tell you I have never used an epilator in my life ! And was super scared by all the scary stories I had heard..
When I was using it for the first time, I was literally chanting God’s name :p And I am very serious..coz I have sensitive skin..so I was a little nervous and scared..
I used it in shower..on wet skin and on my legs..I have used it twice by now..with an interval of about 2-2.5 weeks in between..and a fully charged battery lasts both legs each time..each leg takes 15-20 minutes now..the time I took the first time was longer obviously coz I was not used too and a little scared..
I was shocked on how smooth it went..without any discomfort at all..it was super easy..and all my inhibitions were gone..
It comes with the smoothing cap with Gillette Venus technology (the one that is used wet..it epilates and at the back end shaves at the same time), an efficiency cap (the one that is used dry..without the shaving blades) and a cap for sensitive areas (a narrower head). The pivoting head and Smart Light help see all the minute hair..and the head turns to any areas easily on the curves of the legs..and also the 2 speed settings help adjust the speed..once you are comfortable on 1st..you can move to 2nd..
I use the smoothing cap in shower..and the only issue is there are some hairs which have been epilated but in the wet form..you do not come to know whether that hair is still left or epilated as its stuck..and you go over that area again and again..and also leave or forget some areas..those I cover after the shower..with the dry efficiency cap..
End result is smooth, silky legs ! There was no redness, no discomfort, no pain..but ya it takes some time and patience as you have to go over each area..
I am not sure if its this epilator in particular or what..but for me, the experience was amazing..and I have not waxed my legs from the time I have started using this..coz I am loving this !
The above pic is the smoothing cap..with the Gilette Venus Technology blades.. (P.S: Please ignore the few remnants of hair..I have to clean it again :/)
The cap for sensitive areas..works on upper lips, etc..
Coming to the cleaning part, when used dry, the hair blows off easily..and the small brush that comes with it is quite helpful..but when used wet which is how I use..it takes a lot of cleaning man..all the heads and tweezers have to be cleaned well to get rid of the hair under forceful running water..and then dried well too..
But nonetheless, with the benefits it comes with..I am ready to clean it 😉 This has made my life so easy ! And they recommend after three uses, since the hair is both epilated and shaved with the smoothing cap..after a cycle of 3 uses..the hair growth reduces too ! I am looking forward to my third use..and would update you guys on that..
This surely is a must have..and a total paisa vasool investment ! I am going to keep purchasing it all my life..and one thing I am surely carrying on my long vacations 😉

Overall, I would say its a nice base for a night time event..or for someone who loves shimmery/pearly look.

For those of you who don’t know what My Envy Box is..read HERE…and check out my Feb box HERE and March box HERE.
MRP: Rs.850/-
If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen the pic of the products I got..
This time the box was a nice pink colored one..I loved it..always their boxes and packaging..though the cute pouch was missing this time..I guess coz 1-2 products were big in size..
There was also this 10% off coupon for the site www.monsoonandbeyond.com
Products I got:
Benefit Porefessional– 0.15 ml sachet
SkinYoga Almond Orange Face Scrub – 5.67g
Avene Sensitive White Whitening Essence -3ml
Za True White Day Cream– 5g
H2O+ Sea Moss Replenishing Body Wash– 60ml
Ok, so coming to the products..I only liked the SkinYoga and H2O+ samples..and I wanted to try out Za..so kinda that though 5g is too less..I am not a fan or endorser of Whitening products..so Avene Whitening Essence is not what I would really choose, if given an option..
And let me not talk about Benefit Porefessional..coz 0.15ml is too less for even one time use :/ Few boxes had Benefit Fake Up Concealer..and that was still a decent sample..I would have preferred if they would have sent some other brand’s deluxe sample rather than Benefit !
So the April box was a mixed bag..I liked only 2 products..I hope next month’s box has something better..I mean 0.15 or even 1-2 ml products should be avoided in my honest opinion ! ‘You know what I mean’ :p (Did you watch the Sonam Kapoor’s Koffee with Karan episode ? If not, go watch now 😀 )
