Myntra.com Haul and Review

I know I am MIA from a long time..blame the stupid internet..its been 8-9 days it gets disconnected every night..and during daytime I am in office..finally I get to blog :DComing to Myntra.com, I have shopped a few time previously at Myntra but mostly clothes, shoes, etc..but not from the Beauty section..they provided a voucher to shop and experience the beauty section..and I said why not..

I got my stuff within a day or two..they are pretty quick..and I love how we get different individual boxes..don’t we all need them to keep our makeup 😀

Let’s see what I shopped..

I got:

Faces Exfoliating Gloves (affordable dupe for the Body Shop Gloves)
Maybelline Makeup Remover (wanted to try this from a long time)
Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine Lip Gloss in Plum Luster
Streetwear Nail Polish Remover
Nivea Purifying Face Wash (for Combination to Oily Skin)
Revlon Touch and Glow Pimple Corrector

Things I feel they should work on..most of the things were out of stock..like I had a few things in my cart and they were OOS the next day..so had to replace them..for the Lip Glosses, they had just 3 shades available..and not the shade I wanted..I was interested more in Mirrored Mauve..so definitely more stock and variety is what they can improve on..and shipping is free above Rs.1000/- which I feel is a little too high..it should be around Rs.400-500/-

Olay Total Effects Moisturiser + Serum Duo Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Moisturiser + Serum Duo Review

What the Company Claims: Olay Total Effects Moisturizer + Serum Duo – fragrance free is the most concentrated Total Effects formula for anti-aging skincare, designed to fight 7 signs of aging in one step, for visibly younger-looking skin.

• Skin has a soft, smooth, and youthful appearance
• Reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles
• Protects skin with broad spectrum SPF 15

Olay Total Effects Moisturizer + Serum Duo – fragrance free combines the Total Effects moisturizer you love with an intense serum to fight 7 signs of aging:

1. LINES AND WRINKLES
2. LOSS OF FIRMNESS
3. VISIBLE PORES
4. UNEVEN TONE
5. UNEVEN SKIN TEXTURE
6. DRYNESS
7. DULLNESS

MRP: Rs.369/- for 20g

Directions:
• apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure
• reapply at least every 2 hours
• use water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating

Ingredients:

It comes in a small pump packaging with a plastic cap..which clasps tight and well..I love the golden swivel design on the packaging..

Its a light yellow colored cream..with a slight floral smell similar to the Pond’s Daily Spotless Day Cream..

Pump dispenses a little too much than required..I think the nozzle should have been smaller for controlled dispensing..coz just a pea sized amount is more than enough for the whole face and neck..its quite rich..but not greasy kinds..blends and settles easily..though gives a dewy finish for some time..I think it would be rich for oily skin..but since it is anti ageing..most people after a certain age..tend to have dry skin..and hence its perfect..

I am using it from a week..and cannot comment on the age spots and wrinkles claim..but its very hydrating..and I do not need to reapply it whole day..but since I am combination..I find it a little rich during the hot and humid days..

Pros:

1. Very hydrating.
2. Gives a dewy finish.
3. SPF 15..though its a little less..and if it would have been around 30..it could replace the use of separate sunscreen too…at times.
4. Niacinmide  (Vitamin B3) and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) both are beneficial for the skin.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Not for oily skin.
3. Has parabens.
4. Pump dispenses a little too much..

Overall I would say its good for dry mature skin..and would work for them..very hydrating and skin gets the essential vitamins too..

MRP: £25.00 (was £17.50 in sale) Approx Rs.2125/-

I love the concept of Frontcover kits..they have some pretty handy and amazingly combined kits..like Desk to Date, Party Queen, Kissogram, Moondance, etc..and they include everything from eyeshadows to lip gloss to applicators and brushes..

The True Colours Kit is a part of their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection..and I loved this kit the most out of all..and since these were at discounts when I bought it, a pretty good deal too..and they have reasonable shipping also..around £4..only hitch is I had to pay customs :/ God..this customs..I hate it 🙁

I am using this from the last 3-4 months..I know its very late..but then there are many things I have been using from more than a year and yet to review :p

Its shaped like a book..and made up of thick cardboard..and has plastic cover with the shadows shape so that it fits exactly and nothing gets spoilt..only issue is shadows and lip glosses can be mixed :/

Starting with the eyeshadows, the kit has 11 eye shadows..6 satiny baked and 5 matte normal..all are super pigmented..and smooth to touch and apply..even the matte ones..are pretty silky and pigmented..and all shadows are my type..taupes, greys, olive green, brown, peach, orange..I love all the shades in this kit..

These are all just one swipe of shadows in the swatches !

Then there are 5 lip glosses..which are more like lip creams..super creamy and pigmented and thick enough..two layers of it would give perfect opaque lipstick like coverage..only issue is except the last two shades..rest are too pale for our skin tone..

The two eyeshadow brushes are pretty good..the fluffy brush is like so multi tasking…works both for applying shadows and blending too..and a retractable lip brush too..the double ended mascara for upper and lower lashes..pretty decent..

Two nail polishes..one pale milky nude and one holographic blue..and a eye pencil..deep bluish steel grey with silver shimmer..has a smudger on one side..gives that soft smokey grey eye look 😀

All in all..this is a perfect travel palette..you may need a lipstick separately..but rest everything is in this kit..even the orange eyeshadow makes a pretty blush..if you dont want to carry one separately..

If you travel a lot..I did surely and highly recommend this palette..and even if you don’t, I will recommend it 😀 Coz this is total value for money..and excellent in terms of quality..you can check out other kits too..they have many different kits and variants..

I will do some EOTDs and looks with this kit..hopefully soon..

Proactiv Refining Mask Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
Proactiv Refining Mask Review

What the Company claims: Proactiv Refining Mask

A good cleansing milk and moisturizer can keep your skin clean and well-hydrated. But sometimes the skin needs something extra, a bit of pampering occasionally. Moreover, if you happen to have a sensitive and pimple-prone skin, then it gets even more important for you to take special care of your skin.

Proactiv Refining Mask provides pampering that an oily, pimple-prone and sensitive skin needs. The facial mask acts as an acne treatment skin care product as it contains elements such as sulphur that effectively fights acne causing bacteria. The active ingredient in it absorbs excess oil, reduces the appearance of pore size, pacifies redness and improves the skin texture. It also works well on stubborn blackheads and whiteheads. Regular application of this facial mask will give your skin a smooth and radiant effect.

For best results, use it after Proactiv Renewing Cleanser and apply the Revitalizing Toner and moisturizer after washing-off the Proactiv Refining Mask. You can also make use of this mask as an over-night pimples treatment.

Rich, deep cleansing mask
Absorbs excess surface oils
Soothes inflammation and refines skin tone and texture
Reduces the appearance of pore size
Helps to boost the benefits of Proactiv Solution
Leaves skin feeling smooth and glowing throughout the day
Great for emergency pimple treatment

MRP: Rs.600/- for 70g

Active Ingredients: Sulfur 6%

Inactive Ingredients: water (aqua), kaolin, glycereth-26, linoleic acid, cetearyl alcohol, magnesium aluminum silicate, ceteareth-20, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, linolenic acid, cymbopogon schoenanthus extract, geranium maculatum extract, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, tocopherol, tocopheryl acetate, butylene glycol, hydrated silica, ethoxydiglycol, ethylparaben, methylparaben, fragrance (parfum), titanium dioxide (CI 77891), zinc oxide (CI 77947)

Directions:

It comes in a normal white tube packaging..and is like a thick cream in texture..this thing is magic for people who suffer from breakouts !

It smells strongly of sulphur..I am a combination skin.and when used as a mask all over, its a little drying..though it tightens the pores and they appear smaller in size and mattifies the skin..I need a moisturiser over this..

But when used as an overnight pimples treatment, I have never seen anything better in life !! To sum up in one line, if you suffer from breakouts, this will be your BFF !

It works like magic..truly..I got a small zit..and in one night it was totally shrunk with no redness..and after second night, there is no trace of it at all..

Those who suffer from a lot of acne I think it would work great for them as a mask..and more so along with the entire Proactiv kit..

Pros:

1. Does what it claims.
2. Works like magic on pimples.
3. Easy to carry around.
4. Its expensive..but when used only on zits you hardly need a little amount..and 70g would last really long.

Cons:

1. Available online only.
2. They have Rs,150/- additional shipping and handling.
3. Has parabens.

Overall I would say its an amazing product..why did’nt I find you earlier Refining Mask ?! :p For those of you with oily- combination or acne prone skin, this is going to be your BFF ! Go Grab it..

Colorbar Take Me As I Am Lip Color Sinful Orange Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , ,
Colorbar Take Me As I Am Lip Color Sinful Orange Review, Swatches- MAC Morange Dupe ?

 What the Company claims: Take me as I am lip color is a unique multifunctional product which provides the application of a lipstick combined with the convenience of a pencil in a jumbo crayon design. It is an extra creamy and soft feeling lipstick formula with excellent color pay-off and coverage. Viscous oils and esters create the beautiful shine. Skin conditioning ingredients like Shea butter and vitamin E further enhance the comfortable wearing properties. Be worry-free, take this gorgeous pencil and create the prettiest lip – creamy, ready for shine and flirty fun.


MRP: INR 699.00 for 3.94g

Shades Available:

Sensuous Red
Flirtatious Pink
Seductive Tan
Lip Smacking Cherry
Mischievous Wine
Bare Dare Pink
Sizzling Berry
Mysterious Nude



Sinful Orange is a new addition in Colorbar Take Me As I Am Lip Colors..


Its a short chubby pencil with the matching shade color at the ends..it comes with its own sharpener..It is not like normal lip pencils..which are usually drier..this is more of a lipstick in pencil form..remember the Inglot AMC Lip Pencil..see HERE..those are matte and dry..this is creamy.

These Take Me As I am Lip Color Pencils are just like your moisturising lipsticks..they apply with ease..and are very comfy on lips without any dryness or heaviness..they give a glossy finish..which fades away after some time..but the color stays..it stays for a good 5-6 hours..and leaves behind a stain..



Sinful Orange is a bright yellow based orange…its a true sindoori orange..I cannot carry it fully opaque..I did try HERE, it ended up looking way too bright :/ I feel its quite similar to MAC Morange..and fairer and duskier girls..both extremes would rock this shade..I prefer a single swipe or layering/combining it with other shades..

Here is it on me..a single swipe..


Pros:

1. Moisturising and there is no dryness or heaviness.
2. Stay for a good 5-6 hours.
3. These pencils have a cute packaging and easy to carry along for touch ups too.
4. Comes with their own sharpener.
5. There are 9 shades available but there is something for everyone..an orange based red, a nude pink, peachy pink, pale pink, wine ,berry, nude brown, etc..
6. Matching ends to identify the shade in case you have more than one..

Cons:

1. Expensive !
2. Would finish off soon..since it needs to be sharpened and causes wastage too.


Check out the review and swatches of Flirtatious Pink HERE and check out all the swatches HERE


Overall I quite like these Take Me As I Am Lip Colors..a product which works both as a liner and lipstick and stays so well and is moisturising and can be carried along anywhere for touch ups..only this shade Sinful Orange is something I prefer wearing as a stain or combined..I think its a dupe of MAC Morange lipstick..

Lakme Limited Edition Absolute Pop Tints Lip Tint Pink Sorbet Review, Swatches, FOTD
I had mentioned about the launch of Lakme Limited Edition Absolute Pop Tints Collection HERE. The colors are all summery and fresh and with a neon touch..

What the Company claims: Lakme Absolute Lip Tints include 8 pop shades. These thick creamy pencils deliver rich color and unbelievable shine in just a stroke.

Tip:
This is the best collection for the ones who want to look extra special this summer.

Why to choose Lakmé Absolute Lip Tints?
Rich color delivery
Unique 8 Pop Shades
Limited edition collection

Shades:

Pink Sorbet, Candy Kiss, Peach Please, Orange Tease, Berry Pink, Plum Rush, Grape Hint, Wine Punch

MRP: Rs.800/- for 2g

It comes in a black swivel packaging with a plastic cap…and limited edition engraved on it..and the shade name behind..I did not like the packaging much..the plastic cap is fragile..and cannot even identify the shades if you have more..

Its quite creamy..but not too balmy kinds..thick enough..but needs a few swipes to cover up pigmented lips well. It does not have any particular smell or taste..but does not glide well on dry lips..

It takes some time to settle on the lips..and within half an hour or so..its like settled well all over with a glossy sheen..the glossiness goes away in a hour or so..but lips feel moisturised and comfortable..and the stain stays for 3-4 hours..

Pink Sorbet is a light wearable candy pink with some shimmer..not too neonish or bright..its a fun summery shade..the shimmer is hardly visible..it looks frosty in the hand swatch but quiet wearable on lips..I quite like the shade..

T: 2 swipes, B: 1 swipe

These are less balmy but more pigmented than the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stains

Here is it on me..sorry for the flash..it got too dark by the time I clicked this pic :/

Pros:

1. Quite pigmented.
2. Comfortable on lips.
3. Stain stays for 3-4 hours..after the glossiness and color starts fading.
4. All bright pinks and oranges..neon colors..good for the young crowd.
5. Does not bleed.
6. Travel friendly..it does not mess up in the bag..as its not too balmy and soft kinds.
7. Settles to a smoother finish after half an hour..

Cons:

1. Does not glide well on dry lips.
2. Expensive..if the colors were targeted for the young crowd..the pricing should have been lower too..Revlon is 200 bucks lesser and offers 0.7g more.
3. I expected it to stay even longer.
4. Packaging is not good.
5. Limited Edition.

Overall these are nice..pigmented and glossy and has fun summery shades..but I would have definitely preferred a lesser price..and these are limited edition..so if you have a favorite shade..go grab it now..I am not sure if I would repurchase..but you can have one in your collection..

Avon VitaLuscious Lipsticks Vital Copper, Wine Wellness Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about the Avon VitaLuscious Lipstick Launch HERE

PRICE: Rs 339/-for 3.8g

It comes in a cylindrical tube packaging..I quite like the packaging..has a faint sweet smell..

Vital Copper
Wine Wellness

The formula is super glossy..it leaves the lips moisturised like a lip balm does..with one swipe you get a gloss like coverage..which can be builded more..

Stays for 3-4 hours..leaves behind a soft stain..I wish the staying power was better though..

L-R: Wine Wellness, Vital Copper- 1 swipe, 2 swipes

Vital Copper is a coppery brown..and Wine Wellness is a pretty pinky wine with silver shimmer..but the shimmer does not stray and is neither those chunky types..I quite like this shade..

L-R: Vital Copper, Wine Wellness

Pros:

1. Comes in many shades.
2. Super glossy and moisturising.
3. Goes opaque when builded..
4. Leaves a pretty stain behind.
5. Has SPF 15.
6. Many shades to choose from.
7. On offer mostly..so at around 249 or lesser they are pretty economical.
8. Does not accentuate fine lines.

Cons:

1. Does not stay for long..
2. Only available through Avon reps.

Overall I love how glossy these are..more like tinted lip balms..but which can be builded..and leaves a pretty stain behind..if you have dry lips, you would surely love these..

I am liking Pink Boost which is a pretty pink..and Enduring Sable..a pretty peachy coral..

FACES Ultime Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick 05 Peach Blush Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Matte finish for the uber chic! A vivid color burst that lasts more than 8 hours. Enriched with Vitamin E and anti-aging oxidants. Creamy texture gives smooth, water proof high coverage. Available in a range of swanky shades.

Comes in 10 shades..

MRP: Rs.599/- for 2.5g

It comes in a long sleek matte packaging..quite chic..

Peach Blush is no peachy peach..its a dusty pink brown shade..an MLBB for me..very wearable..I guess it will look good on everyone..

The finish is semi matte..not as matte and drying as the Maybelline 14H Superstay but not those moisturising and creamy types too..but since this shade is light..it does not stay on for long..max 3-4 hours..and fades away later..

T: 2-3 swipes, B: 1 swipe

Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Chic packaging.
2. Semi matte finish.
3. Stays for 3-4 hours..darker shades would stay on longer.
4. Very comfortable finish..non drying.
5. Peach Blush would suit everyone..an everyday wearable shade..to the office or anywhere..an MLBB for many.

Cons:

1. Qty offered is too less..just 2.5g 😮
2. Expensive for this qty.
3. All shades have same black packaging..no differentiation.
4. Lighter shades like these have less staying power.

Overall I do like the texture and finish..love the shade..I only wish it was priced lower..I notice everything in Ultime Pro range is priced high..I wonder why..and also the qty could have been a little more..atleast 3.5g..check this out at the store and try if it works for you..I am eyeing the shade Read My Lips..

Nivea Total Face Cleanup Review

Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Cleanup Review

What the Company claims: Nivea pure effect total face cleanup enriched with Active Magnolia Extract provides you 5 benefits for Pure and Clear skin:

• Its unique cleansing complex deeply washes off skin impurities.
• Its peeling particles unclog pores and purify skin from blackheads.
• Left on as a pack for a few minutes will refine skin’s appearance and support a perfect complexion.
• Its anti-bacterial formulation helps fight spot causing bacteria & gives visibly pure skin.
• Is soft and gentle to skin due to its mild formula.

Directions:
Step 1: Apply the product to moistened face by smoothly massaging in upward circles focusing on forehead, nose & chin, avoiding the eye area.
Step 2: Spread evenly across face & leave for 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Rinse off with lukewarm water to get the perfect complexion.

MRP: Rs.99/- for 50ml, Rs.199/- for 150ml

Ingredients:

It comes in a normal tube packaging with a flip cap..is off white in color with small blue granules..has a minty salty smell..its quite creamy and runny in consistency..so spreads easily..

I love multi tasking products..and this is 3 in 1..face wash, scrub and mask..you can carry only this when travelling..and be sorted..

It does not foam as a face wash..I am not a foaming fan..if you prefer foaming face washes, you would not like this as a face wash..works decent for me.

As a scrub, the particles are quite small..this is good for people with sensitive skin..who cannot bear those harsh scrub particles..I like it coz I many a times forget scrubbing..and this does the work when using it normally like a face wash too..though very mild as a scrub.

As a mask, its amazing..as it has kaolin it dries fast..just 3-4 minutes is all you need..the kaolin clay would absorb all the oil..and keep skin fresh..love it in this summers..

Dry skin would find it drying..and need a moisturiser after this..its meant for normal to oily skin..and it surely is for them..


Pros:

1. Does what it claims.
2. Multi tasking.
3. Travel friendly.
4. Would work well for normal to oily, combination and sensitive skin too.
5. Economical.
6. Reduces appearance of pores when used as a mask.

Cons:

1. Dry skin will need a moisturiser after this.
2. Would not help in removing blackheads or reducing spots.

Overall I do like this..its decent as a face wash, mild as a scrub but amazing as a mask…but multi tasking is all we need in today’s world, don’t we ? 😉 Surely recommend it..

BeautyUK Eye Pencils Review, Swatches, EOTD

BeautyUK Eye Pencils Review, Swatches, EOTD

I had mentioned about the new BeautyUK eye pencils range launch HERE


BeautyUK Simply Define Eyebrow pencil

What the Company claims: This year it’s all about the brows and these puppies are just what the doctor ordered. Perfectly weighted with a wooden body and defining brow brush, these richly pigmented pencils are the ideal artistic tools to create your defining eye look.

Available in grey, dark brown, auburn and ash brown – all at £1.99


I have the dark brown one which is perfect for our brows..it comes with a lash comb on the cap..I think its very good for travel..and when you do not have the time to carry your brow powder, wax, etc…this would ease your job..stiff enough for eyebrows..convenient to use and carry along..and cost effective too..


 Long lasting twist eyeliner


What the Company claims: Featuring an integrated sharpener to keep things perfectly precise at all times, these long lasting, intensely pigmented pencils give full control and ultimate definition that won’t fade when you need it most.

Available in black, dark brown, grey, navy blue – all at £2.49

Its a twist up pencil with a sharpener on one end..I have the one in dark brown..its a reddish deep brown..it glides well, does not tug or pull and the color is pigmented too..but staying power again is average..


Jumbo double ended pencil

What the Company claims: A revelation in style and convenience – these dual use pencils give black eye liner precision on one end with a sumptuous smoothie of creamy, metallic eye shadow on the other. Ideal companions to take anywhere and create a seductive pop of colour to the eyes. These work perfectly as a base for building eye shadow to create your desired look.

Available in black/white, black/ grey, black/ beige, black/ turquoise – all at £2.99



I have the black/beige..the eyshadow is super creamy..its a coppery pink beige..and the eyeliner is thin tipped and rich jet black..both glide on super easily and are easy to use..make a good two minute eyeshadow..the only issue is the eyeshadow hardly stays..especially in hot humid weather..it just vanishes away..and the eyeliner also does not stay long on the waterline..though longer on the upper lashline..



I have used all three for an EOTD

Overall I would say these are good for daily use..and quite economical and travel friendly..I only wish they stayed longer..I am not impressed by their staying power..
