Kaya Super Orange Bloom Overnight Skin Replenisher Review
I had posted about Kaya’s 15 new products HERE. Overnight Skin Replenisher is one of them.
Busy lifestyle, constant application of make-up and the weather conditions can really play havoc on your perfect complexion and make your skin look dull and lifeless! To rejuvenate and reinvigorate your skin, Kaya has launched the Super Orange Bloom range, a special skin care line consisting of multi-vitamin complex that revives dull and lifeless skin, effectively making it bright and radiant.

Overnight Skin Replenisher is a light, rich-textured night cream that contains effective Skin Awakening elements like Vitamins B3, B5, A, C & E suitable for all skin types. This specially formulated cream offers anti-oxidant and skin renewal benefits that work best during night time. It not only helps to revive and revitalize dull skin but also boosts skin texture and gives clarity.

Priced at Rs. 890/- for 50 ml

It comes in a glass jar with orange packaging..has a white lid in between..


Its a thick white cream with a quite refreshing citrusy smell..but it feels matte and powdery once blended..just like the Pond’s White Beauty Day Cream..so its completely non greasy.

Skin feels well moisturised..and hydrated and supple the next day too.

Pros:

1. Non greasy and sinks into the skin.
2. Leaves skin well hydrated and supple.
3. Skin feels smooth and matte the next day too.
4. Love the citrusy smell.
5. Some ingredients are quite good.
6. Qty is good..you just need a pea sized amount..so would last long.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Glass jar packaging..not travel friendly and unhygienic.
3. No major remarkable change.
4. Only key ingredients mentioned.
5. Availability is an issue..only available at Kaya stores or online on kayaclinic.com or healthkart.com

Overall its a decent night cream..keeps skin hydrated and fresh..but do not expect magical results..would suit dry skin more..

MAC Surf Baby Blushette Bound for Love Review, Swatches

MAC Blushettes were a part of the Surf, Baby! Collection..Bound for Love and Barbara Ann were the two shades launched in the collection..

MRP: $21.50 ($18.50 on sale) for 4.2g. Available HERE

It comes in a small swivel twist up tube packaging..like the Lakme Cheek Artist from the Fantasy Collection.

It has a black holder cap on top..so the product does not spread or melt inside..

Barbara Ann is a bright coral orange..looks gorgeous.

Bound for Love is a warm rosey mauve pink with subtle silver shimmer..it gives a natural flush to the cheeks..a soft rosy sheen..can be worn everyday and does not look OTT..

Unblended, Blended

But the shade is a little sheer and needs a few swipes for the color to show up..and staying power is also average..stays for 3-4 hours and then starts fading..

Pros:

1. Easy swivel up stick…comfortable to carry too.
2. Warm mauve pink..would suit medium to fair skintones..gives a nice natural flush to the cheeks.
3. Pretty packaging.
4. Does not look OTT.

Cons:

1. Staying power is average.
2. Shade needs a few swipes to show up.
3. Availability is an issue..and this was LE…available on Brigette’s Boutique though..

Overall I quite like these cream blush stick concept..those are quite easy to carry and use..and this shade gives a natural rosy flush to the cheeks with subtle sheen..perfect for office or everyday use…

Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel 74 Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Inglot Matte Collection AMC Eyeliner Gel 74 Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: High intensity pigments provide ideal coverage and rich colors after just one application. The Creamy and delicate long lasting formula dries in 60 seconds to a water, smudge and crease proof finish.

MRP: Rs.680/- for 5.5g

Ingredients:

It comes in a small flat plastic tub packaging with a black cap..has no brush along. Its a cream based eyeliner and not gel based..so its opaque, matte and super creamy..sets super fast and stays on for a good 6-7 hours without budging..it does flake off at times after that..

74 is a gorgeous eggplant plum shade..I love plums..so this shade is more of a weakness for me 😀 I fell for it, the moment I saw it..

Pros:

1. Gorgeous color.
2. Has a super creamy texture and glides well especially on oily lids.
3. 5.5g is a good qty.
4. Inglot is cruelty free.
5. Can be used as an all over base too.
6. Cheaper in price and more in qty than MAC Fluidlines which cost around Rs.1000/- for 3g and L’oreal Super Liner which cost Rs.825/- for 2.8g

Cons:

1. Dries super fast..you need Inglot Duraline to revive its creaminess.
2. It should come with its own brush.

Overall I do love the gorgeous shade..but I am not a fan of cream liners..somehow I find it difficult to work with cream liners..so gel liners for me..But if you are comfortable with cream liners, you should definitely get this shade !

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: I am not sure..I prefer gel liners.

Get Straight Hair with Sunsilk Perfect Straight Range

Straight Hair with a shampoo and conditioner ?! Is it really possible ??

Well, read on to know if it is..

What the Company claims: There is a magic moment between wet & dry hair when your hair looks perfectly straight and beautifully aligned. But as it dries, it starts to puff up and lose shape. Sunsilk expert Yuko Yamashita has co-created Sunsilk Perfect Straight, the ideal shampoo for straight hair every day. Its breakthrough Straight-Lock technology to actively control and hold every strand perfectly aligned as it dries. It penetrates deep within the hair fibre, reducing frizz and straightening strands, keeping them fully aligned as they dry*. Experience unbeatably straight hair that is shiny, smooth and gorgeous, right from the shower.

Straight baal lock karo, rock karo!

*When used with Sunsilk Perfect Straight Conditioner.

Shampoo MRP: Rs.110/- for 180ml and Rs. 56/- for 90ml
Conditioner MRP: Rs.64/- for 90ml

I like the purple color of the bottles…and easy to use flip cap packaging..it flips tight well..and would not spill.

Shampoo claims and ingredients:

Its a light pink colored runny shampoo..with candy sweet smell..it lathers well..and cleanses well too.

Conditioner claims and ingredients:

Its a white colored conditioner with the same sweet smell..not too thick..and easy to use..

After using both..my hair was quite straight just after washing..then after drying..it gained some natural volume and slight waves..but it was straighter, sleeker and frizz free than it normally is. This sure works !

Hair after drying

Pros:

1. Shampoo lathers and cleanses well.
2. Smells nice..
3. Economical.
4. Easy to carry around and travel with.
5. Available everywhere.
6. Leaves hair straighter and sleeker as claimed.
7. Hair is completely frizz free.
8. Gives a nice sheen to the hair.

Cons:

1. Has SLS.

Overall I would say its a must try..if you like straighter hair..and either don’t want to use irons or don’t have the time for it..this would not give you 100% straight hair as with a straightening iron..but reasonable straight, well managed and frizz free hair for sure..

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Showstoppers Limited Edition Palette Review, SwatchesNow this palette was quite a surprise..there was no press release or any info out regarding this palette.

Updated with the press release info..

About: Be the star of the show with Sleek MakeUP’s new SHOWSTOPPERS I-DIVINE! This online exclusive palette features twelve of Sleek MakeUP’s legendary eye shadow shades, each one singled out from Sleek MakeUP’s renowned I-DIVINES, chosen for their supreme pigmentation, bold colour and spectacular finish.

Gone are the days of picking out favourite colours, as SHOWSTOPPERS promises to leave any eye shadow fiend spoilt for choice! With a wide range of shades in 3 different finishes, including five matte shades, six shimmer and one party-perfect sparkle shade!

Only the most flattering of hues feature in SHOWSTOPPERS, including ‘mineral earth’ from AU NATUREL I-DIVINE, ‘Primal Green’ from ME MYSELF&EYE I-DIVINE, ‘Gunmetal’ from GRAPHITE I-DIVINE, and ’Innocence’ from BAD GIRL I-DIVINE. With ultra wearable ‘navy blue’ from BOHEMIAN I-DIVINE, ‘Thunder’ from Ultra Mattes V2, and ‘Festive’ from SPARKLE I-DIVINE, ideal for adding instant glamour to eyes.

Celebrate Sleek MakeUP’s notorious eye shadows, with SHOWSTOPPERS!

It would be available on the Sleek website from 10th April,2013.

MRP: £7.99

When I first saw the names of the shadows, I was kinda surprised..what they have done is..they took one shade from each of their 12 permanent i- Divine palettes..and named them after the palette..

So we have Storm, Paraguaya, Oh So Special, Bad Girl, etc..

Its a standard Sleek MakeUP Palette black packaging..with 12 shadows of 1.1g each and a mirror and a double sided sponge applicator..

Shadows are a mix of matte and satin finish..matte ones being not as pigmented as the satin ones..but the shades sure are amazing..stay on well..and blend smoothly too..

Paraguaya is a matte nude peach..hardly visible..good for blending
Sunset is satin finish burgundy
Me, Myself & Eye is a frost finish white..works great as a highlighter
Bad Girl is satin finish olive green..love this shade..
Noir is satiny bluish grey
Ultramattes V2 is a matte deep black.

Oh So Special is a matte grey..not too pigmented
Bohemian is a matte coral..makes a good blush
Storm is a matte navy blue
Sparkle is frost pink..again a highlighter
Au Natural is a matte deep plum with silver shimmer..its Festive from Sparkle 2 Palette
Graphite is satin finish light milky brown

Overall quite a nice mix of colors..and mix of matte and satin shades..good highlighters and a pretty dark matte black..matte blending shades..and a nice olive green, grey, burgundy, plum and brown..shades which are quite wearable..

Personally for me..I love wearing plums, browns, greys and burgundy, olive greens for weddings, etc..plus a matte black and two highlighters just completes the palette..I am loving every new palette of Sleek MakeUP..but there are a few which are quite suited for our warm skin tones..and quite wearable..this is one of those..I am loving it as much as my Sparkle 2 and Oh So Special 🙂

These are online exclusive and do check online at www.sleekmakeup.com

Launch: April 10th 2013

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain Review, Swatches

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain Lovesick, Honey, Romantic Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: It’s a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color that lasts hour after hour. The gel formula comes in 10 vibrant shades that match any look or mood.

-Lightweight Lipstain + Moisturizing Balm
-100% of women who tried it felt their lips were instantly moisturized with a soft stain of color
-Retractable chubby crayon, no sharpener required

EXPERT TIPS:

Step 1: Apply Just Bitten Kissable™ Balm Stain evenly to clean, bare lips. Build color and coverage as desired.

Step 2: Reapply as desired for moisturizing shine throughout the day.

MRP: Rs. 600/- for g

Shades Available: 10

Honey, Crush, Darling, Cherish, Lovesick, Sweetheart, Smitten, Rendezvous, Romantic, and Adore.

What makes this product so interesting is that it’s not only a pampering lip balm but it works as a lightweight lip stain too! That said, this product leaves you with softer and smoother lips with color that lasts for hours. This handy product comes in a chubby crayon form that retracts to avoid all messy smudges inside your bag.

Thats the whole qty

It a chubby retractable crayon stick with a sturdy cap..all crayons are of the color of their shades. The packaging is quite similar to the Clinique Chubby Sticks..but these are more of a stain..and the Clinique ones are more like tinted balms.

Honey, Lovesick, Romantic

These have a minty smell..and feel cooling on application too..are moisturising and glossy at the start..but settle to a stain in around an hour..and the stain lasts for 5-6 hours ! I do think you should top it up with a gloss or lip balm time and again if you suffer from dry or chapped lips..coz otherwise it did look terrible.

Honey is an amazing pink brown..an MLBB shade for me..this can be worn everyday everywhere..to your office, market, just about anywhere..

Lovesick is a gorgeous fuchsia pink..ahh I am into the fuchsia mode you know 😉

Romantic is a warm orange red

I love how light they feel on the lips and can be worn sheer or builded up…but the only issue is the stain fades unevenly especially the darker colors.

Here are the swatches..

L-R: Romantic, Lovesick, Honey

I am sorry for the Romantic lip swatch..its difficult to remove the stain..and use another..and removing the stain made lips quite dry too 🙁

Pros:

1. Feels light.
2. Darker colors are quite pigmented..the stain stays for 3-4 hours.
3. Very pretty universal shades in the collection.
4. Colors of packaging as per shades..so easy to identify.
5. Feels glossy and moisturising at the start and settles to a semi matte stain later..
6. Do not bleed.

Cons:

1. Darker colors fade unevenly.
2. One needs a lip balm underneath..and also over the stain after a few hours..coz it tends to feel dry.
3. Not travel friendly..it messes in a bag..inside its cap :/

Overall I quite love these stains..glossy and moisturising..and the shades offered..these are quite handy and low maintainance..Honey is a shade which can be used everyday too..and Lovesick is a very pretty fuchsia..Surely recommend these.

SUITABLE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Price: Rs.250/- for 10g

How to use: Swipe BB Stick on your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
Blend in an outward direction towards hairline and jawline using quick, short strokes.
Finally, you could also apply a little Kajal and Lip Balm for a great natural look.

Available in 2 shades:

1.Radiance (Fair)

2. Fawn (Medium)

Maybelline BB Stick comes in a swivel twist up packaging with a plastic cap..comes in 2 shades..Radiance for fairer skin tones and Fawn for medium to dark..Fawn is a little darker and yellower for me..Fawn would suit skin tones NC 40 and above..I have not checked out Radiance..so I am not sure how light it is..but I heard its ashy and does not have yellow undertones.

Thats the whole qty

It needs to be swiped around all over the face in 2-3 strokes..nose, forehead, area around the mouth, cheeks, jawline and neck..and blended using fingers in outward direction..either you can use it directly from the stick..or if you have acne prone skin or tend to share makeup, take it on your clean fingers and apply and blend away.

The first time I used this..I did not like it much..2nd day I liked it..3rd day I liked it even more..actually the longer time you wear this you will love it more..coz it keeps the skin matte and shine free..and gives a nice glowy effect and cuts the dullness from the face…plus gives decent coverage..and looks better after a few hours.

It gives medium coverage and covers redness, dark circles, etc well..but acne scars would need concealer above it..keeps the skin matte..mine is combination and I did not feel the need to use a powder or even touch up..coz skin looked the same and shine free..

It has SPF21 and Salicylic acid..so sun protection plus good for acne prone skin..it is so easy to carry anywhere..and use just with your fingers..

Here is it..unblended and blended..

Pros:

1. Gives medium coverage.
2. Easy to use and carry along.
3. Blends easily with fingers..and effortless to use anywhere.
4. Has SPF 21 PA+++
5. Keeps skin shine and oil free for 5-6 hours.
6. Stays all day long..and looks better by the end of the day.
7. Gives a nice glow to the skin and cuts out dullness from the face.
8. Salicylic acid helps heal acne..so good for acne prone skin too.
9. Reduces the appearance of pores.
10. Cost effective at Rs.250/- and 10g is a good qty too..this would last long..unlike the very less qty of the BB cream.

Cons:

1. Accentuates dry patches..dry skin would need a very heavy moisturiser before using this..
2. Radiance is light and Fawn is dark..most of us fall in between..there should have been minimum 4 shades launched in this.

Overall I quite liked this..I only need to use a good moisturiser underneath it..and I would have loved it more, if I had a shade that would have matched correctly..but nonetheless..it does blend in like second skin..but just a little yellower and darker.

I surely recommend this..if you around NC 40-42..this would quite suit you..and if you oily skinned..grab this now..

Directions: Apply liberally to face and neck after cleansing daily.

Key Ingredients: Concentrated Hydroxy Complex with 4% Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Natural Moisturising Factors, SPF 30++.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.450/- for 60ml

It comes in a green small rectangular shaped bottle with a white cap..has a pump dispensor..

Its a white colored medium thick lotion..smells like fevicol..takes a little time to absorb..it needs to be blended well..or else leaves a whitish cast..it does moisturise the skin..there are no dry patches..but since mine is combination skin..my T zone gets shiny within an hour..I feel this would suit dry skin more..

This gives a nice dewy finish to the skin..but does not help significantly in correcting marks..

Pros:

1. Moisturises skin really well..I loved using it in winters.
2. Gives a nice dewy finish to the skin.
3. No dry patches.
4. Has SPF 30++
5. Helps a little with spots..but nothing major.
6. Gives some brightness to the skin..there is no dullness like with a heavy moisturiser.
7. Keeps skin hydrated and moist for 6-7 hours.

Cons:

1. Needs to be blended really well..or else gives a whitish cast.
2. Smells like fevicol.
3. Did not help much with correcting spots.
4. Only available online. You can buy it HERE
5. Expensive at Rs.450/-

Overall I like it..but do not love it..it helped moisturise skin in winters..I think it is good for winters or for dry skinned people..It does give some brightness to the skin..but does not do everything it claims..a decent moisturiser.
