Sappho Cosmetics Pressed Eye Shadows Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Sappho Cosmetics Pressed Eye Shadows Dream, Chambrelle, Coastal, Pick Purple Review, Swatches

About Sappho Cosmetics: Sappho Organic Cosmetics is about making up fearlessly—learning how to apply makeup, being as daring as you please and having no fear that what you’re putting on your skin will harm you.

JoAnn Fowler, founder and CEO of Sappho Organic Cosmetics, has worked in the television and movie industry as a makeup artist since 1989. Her credits include many films and television series and her list of achievements includes an Emmy nomination for “Reefer Madness” and 2 Cinoma nominations for best makeup for The L Word. JoAnn has two movies coming out this year “FD5 and The Dibbuk box.” Prompted by Mia Kirshner and Jennifer Beals of the American television drama series, “L Word,” JoAnn began researching cosmetic safety and soon saw the desperate need for a makeup line with full ingredient disclosure and adherence to the strictest safety measures. Sappho Organic Cosmetics was born from JoAnn’s diligent search for formulations whose ingredients surpass the European Union’s standards for safer cosmetics.

We at Sappho have discovered some truths about standard cosmetics and the news is not encouraging. For yourself and those you love, please look at our information on chemicals in cosmetics and glossary, and follow up on the links and do your own research. You may never want to use a standard cosmetic again!

What the Company claims: It is a finely milled mix of minerals combined with certified organic jojoba oil and pressed into a tin container which can fit neatly into the black magnetic compact with your other eye shadows and blushes, thereby reducing plastic packaging.

Tips ‘n Tricks

You can use it wet or dry as a shadow or liner. (Coastal, Pick Purple)

You can use it as an eyelid color by day or under the brows as a subtle highlight by night. (Chambrelle, Dream)

Pick Purple: A fully saturated purple pigment, this color adds lustre and life to any makeup. Vegan.

Chambrelle: This mixed pink ivory eyeshadow can augment any makeup.

Coastal: This medium cooler shade of brown is great for crease shadows, eyebrows and use wet or dry as a liner. A must for any makeup kit! Vegan.

Dream: OMG this satiny buttery shade is a must for the basis of a great makeup. It glides on like butter and is THE neutral on which to build a great makeup! Vegan.

MRP: 20$ each for 2g

Ingredients: Mica (CIs77019) Iron Oxides (CIs77492, CIs 77499), Calcium Carbonate, Caprylic triglyderide, Simmondsai Chinessis (JOJOBA) Seed oil(Certified Organic) May contain: ultramarines (CIs77007), Titanium dioxide (CIs77891)

T-B: Pick Purple, Dream, Coastal, Chambrelle

Pick Purple is a gorgeous bluish purple

Dream is an peachy yellow gold..not exactly like MAC Ricepaper..but on similar grounds..looks amazing as an highlighter and in inner corners..and all over the lid too.

Coastal is an amazing cool toned brown..perfect for smokey brown eyes..and for crease work too.

Chambrelle is a metallic cool silvery white…works good as a highlighter.

These are super duper pigmented..all swatches are just 2 swipes without a primer. Buttery smooth in texture..and stay put all day long..though I use an eye shadow base..

These are refills and some shades are available in this refill packaging only..some are available with the whole black outer packaging..but that increases the cost by 5$.

Indoors

I like the refill packaging too..its made of thick paper..and there is an inner folded paper where the eye shadow is snugly fit in the centre..and does not move.

Pros:

1. Super duper pigmented.
2. Buttery smooth texture.
3. Can be used both wet and dry.
4. Organic and yet works well.
5. Stays put whole day.
6. No creasing or fading and no fall outs.
7. Some 10-11 shades to choose from..and there are both darker shades which make some amazing smokey eyes and lighter highlight shades.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Not available here. You can buy it here. But the shipping :sigh:

Now since this is organic and yet works amazingly well on the make up front..it is used by many actresses too..plus since it is a brand made by a make up artist.

I loved these shadows..Coastal and Dream are my absolute favorites followed by Pick Purple and Chambrelle. These are some super pigmented, very fine and smooth, long staying and organic eye shadows. If you live in Canada, you should surely try this..here are the stores where its available.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum Review

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum Review

What the Company claims: A product that will get rid of the source of growing problems of skin darkening, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, dryness, roughness and dullness of the skin due to overexposure and ageing.

The new fortified complex in the Neutrogena® Fine Fairness® Brightening Serum in synergy with Neutrogena® Healthywhite Complex™- a white lily extract and Retinol, works from the inside out, simultaneously targeting all three elements of tone, texture and hydration to bring out lasting healthy fairness. The naturally derived White Lily extract enhances whitening from within. In addition, it effectively promotes lightening of dark spots via the effective action of Retinol in the epidermis. Double your skin’s whitening power for even-toned lasting healthy fairness. This breakthrough high penetrating formula penetrates beneath the skin surface and helps deactivate melanin production at the source for a renewed visibly brightened skin tone.

Directions: Use 1-2 times a day after cleansing. Lightly massage in to boost penetration. Close pump after each use. (It oxidizes if left open)

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs. 599/- for 30ml

Its a white colored bottle with a silver top and a plastic cap. Its a pump dispensor..so quite easy to use..you need just 1 pump..or max two pumps for the entire face..but since it has retinol..many do not use it all over the face..just on dark spots or problem areas. I like using serums..some how they work better and deeper for me..than just moisturisers..

Its a light yellow colored liquid..if you have used a serum..you would know the texture..not exactly like a lotion nor like a gel..some where in between..has a sweet smell similar to all Neutrogena products..I just pat it on..and restrict it to use at night..since it has retinol..which makes the skin sensitive..if you use it at day time..make sure you use a high SPF sunscreen..

You might experience some itching for a few minutes after application coz of the retinol..do not fret..some even experienced peeling of the skin in the first week..but skin was brighter and better the next week..depends on how your skin reacts to retinol..do a test patch first if you like..

Pros:

1. Does lighten dark spots and makes the skin more even toned..but not an overnight effect..takes 2-3 weeks for the difference to show up. But if you are suffering from dark spots, you should surely give this a try.

2. Skin is more brightened when used all over..I have used it both ways..but I prefer using it on dark spots more..as I do not want to use retinol all over.

3. Non comedogenic and oil free.

4. Did not break me out..but there is some itching for a few minutes.

5. It does what it claims.

6. The quantity lasts long.

Cons:

1. Has parabens, phenoxyethanol and silicones.

2. May not suit sensitive and dry skin.

3. Skin does need added moisturisation.

Overall I did like it..and the brightening effect it gives to the skin. I did not have many dark spots..but it makes the skin more even toned..if you suffer from dark spots..this might help. But I do not recommend it for dry or sensitive skin.

Just Herbs Sanface Skin Tightening Sandal Glow Pack Review

What the Company claims: With fennel and vetiver – skin tightening glow pack made from exotic Ayurvedic herbs to lift and firm the contours of the face and neck.

The lifting and firming mineral mud mask with its powerful age control nutrients is available in a ready to use form to tone and revitalize the skin for a youthful radiant glow. Sandalwood has antioxidant properties and soothes sun burns. The detoxifying and purifying action of the mineral clays coupled with the rejuvenating effects of fennel and trigonella seeds visibly tightens the skin with natural glow.

Ingredients: fennel 5%, vetiver 2%, sandalwood powder 2%, sandalwood oil 0.1%, orange peel 2%, fenugreek seed extract 0.1%, zinc oxide 0.1%, china clay 10%, bentonite and indian volcanic clay.

Hypo-allergenic. 100% natural recipe. Free from animal by-products. No animal testing.

No artificial Fragrances, colours, harmful chemicals.

Certified Ayurvedic by AYUSH, The Ministry of Health, Govt. of India/

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Certified

MRP: Rs. 295/- for 150g

Its a brown colored clay mask in a tub packaging..with an evident sandalwood and fuller’s earth smell and mix..

I love the smell and the creamy feel..though its need to be used on moist face..and worked fast..as it starts drying super fast..coz of the clay base.

Pros:

1. Perfect Sandalwood and clay mix with some added beneficial ingredients like orange peel, fenugreek and vetiver.
2. Would suit oily skin the most..but it can be used by all skin types..especially in summers.
3. Skin does feel tightened and rejuvenated.
4. Clay and sandalwood are good to use in summers and for oily skin as with regular use they balance the oil in the skin and keeps sebum and acne at bay too.
5. No parabens or artificial ingredients..its all natural.
6. Good enough quantity.
7. Though its a tub..its not bulky and quite travel friendly..in case you like to use a mask on the go.
8. Dries fast..this is not one of the ‘keep a long time’ mask. Saves time.

Cons:

1. Sandalwood powder, fuller’s earth, orange peel, fenugreek, clay,etc are all easily available..and it can be made at home..since its expensive..but if time is a constraint..or we feel lazy to make it at home, this is surely a must try.
2. Just Herbs is only available online.
3. Not sure of the lift, firm or age control claim.

Overall I quite like it..this is one ‘feel good’ mask…love the effect on the skin, dries fast, added benefits of many ingredients and all natural too..

Here it is on me..

1. Super pigmented.
2. Very moisturising..and feels very light.

1. Expensive.
2. Available only at the Shiseido counters or online. You can buy it on Medplusbeauty here

Overall I have no other cons with this..I love the formula..it is one of the most moisturising, pigmented and super light lipsticks out there ! Though expensive..these are totally worth it.

I wish to try Roseate RD 734 and Fuchsia RS 320

Vedic Line Papaya Scrub And Papaya Face Pack Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,
Vedic Line Papaya Scrub And Papaya Face Pack Review

What the Company claims: Vedic Line Papaya Scrub

Get the skin amazingly clear and glowing.
Formulated from papaya, the most nutritious fruit, it effectively melts and removes extra melanin thereby avoiding skin darkening.
Natural papaya acids bring brightening with clear refreshing look.

Ingredients:

How to Use: Wet skin and gently massage for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse it off with water then.

MRP: Rs. 175/- for 100ml

What the Company claims: Vedic Line Papaya Face Pack

Papaya formulated face pack helps removing blemishes and dark spots.
It also promotes fairness by increasing blood supply to skin.

Ingredients:

How to Use:
Wet skin and apply it liberally.
When it is semi dry, clean with damp cloth or rinse off with water.

MRP: Rs.175/- for 100ml

Since both are from the Papaya Range, I decided to review them together..I also use them together at times..

Both have a yellowish orange tub packaging with an orange cap..they have an overly sweet artificial smell which I did not like..

The scrub is brown in base with black walnut granules for scrubbing…its creamy enough and glides well on the skin..and the mask too has same texture..in fact the ingredients list for both are the same..except for the added walnut granules in the scrub.

It gives a tingling sensation for a few seconds at times but then resides soon.

Pros:

1. Parabens and chemicals free
2. Scrub is creamy enough for use..and does not dry on the skin in between…and same goes for the pack..in fact I like the fact that the pack is creamy and not watery kinds unlike a few face packs.
3. Economical.
4. Good enough quantity.
5. Both helped reduce tan and skin felt refreshed and moist..and not drying.
6. Ingredients include almond oil, clay and aloe vera along with Papaya..all are good for the skin.
7. Would suit all skin types..except sensitive skin..the scrub might be a little harsh for sensitive skin.
8. Shelf life of 3 years.

Cons:

1. The smell ! I hate the overly sweet smell.
2. Vedic Line is only available online.
3. Jar packaging.
4. Scrub might not suit sensitive skin.
5. I am amazed at the same ingredients in both..when both serve different purpose !
6. Contains Phenoxyethanol ! (More harmful than parabens)

Overall I liked both..but I liked the face pack more than the scrub..and for Papaya Scrub..Biotique Papaya Scrub is still my HG ! I surely recommend the face pack though.

Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm Review
TOTAL SOLUTION BB CREAM WITH 10-IN-1 EFFECTS. Moisture based triple function BB cream takes care of the base as well as colour makeup and allows the skin to look bright and natural without greasiness or feeling tight.

Skin79’s all-time best seller, this product offers a one-step quick-fix for a total of ten beauty grouses. It improves wrinkles, fends off UV damage, nourishes skin, hydrates, builds resilience, protects skin against pollution, controls sebum and acts as a makeup base and foundation.

Its girly pink packaging also speaks to the princess in every young lady, and is a charming acquisition to any dressing table.

Suitable for oily / combination skin.

MRP: $ 28.00 for 40g

Ingredients:

ADENOSINE AND ARBUTIN penetrate deeply to whiten, brighten, iron out wrinkles and give skin elasticity.

OSMOPUR, a patented compound of sunflower, rice bran and ivy extracts shields the skin against environmental stressors.

PHYTO COMPLEX, a potent blend of plant extracts, deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin.

SPF 25 PA++ protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, which burn the skin, cause premature aging and contribute to cancer.

ULTRA-FINE MAKEUP INGREDIENTS with light reflecting properties work as a base to correct skin irregularities and uneven skin tone, while giving skin a natural, no-makeup look.

SKIN79 Features and Benefits

  • Produces a very natural, “no makeup look”
  • Provides perfect coverage like a foundation would but since it’s not as thick, it doesn’t clog the pores
  • Works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer
  • Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes
  • Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin
  • Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
  • Contains UV Protection for healthy skin (SPF levels differ for each brand/product)
  • Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits are also available for some variants.

It also comes in a 15g sleek round hot pink travel friendly bottle..that costs 16$

This Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream is their hot selling and most demanded BB Cream..it is out of stock many a times.

Unblended
Blended

It love the hot pink round packaging ! This sure look pretty in every girl’s stash..it has a light floral smell..not too bothering..it has a gel like texture…and blends easily into the skin with fingers..this works best with fingers..it has a normal easy to use pump dispensor..and one pump is generally enough..unless you want to layer up or cover blemishes.

It has a slight greyish tint..but the color oxidizes a little and adjusts to the skin tone..though I think its more suitable for people around NC/ NW 20-30..gives me a little whitish cast..may be coz of the sunscreen content too..this one is not meant for photographs..

Pros:

1. Feels super light on the skin.
2. Gives medium coverage and evens out the skin tone..especially the redness if you have any..due to acne.
3. Though it mentions for oily to combination skin..it would suit all skin tones..dry skin might need a moisturiser underneath..and very oily skin would need to powder the skin.
4. Adjusts to the natural skin tone.
5. Offers SPF25 PA ++..so would not need a separate sunscreen.
6. It can be layered on blemishes, etc uncovered with a single application, like a concealer..and still the finish is even and smooth..there is no patchiness.
7. Love the hot pink packaging.
8. Gives a dewy finish.
9. Stays for a good 6-7 hours..and starts wearing off later.
10. There is a visible improvement in the skin..after continued usage.
11. It does not transfer on your tissue or hanky once set.

Cons:

1. Gives a little whitish cast..so not for photographs.
2. Has parabens.
3. This may not work for duskier skin tones.

Other than that..I did not find any other con..I am quite loving it..though availability is an issue here..but its available on ebay and many sites online..but there are many fakes..and you have to rely on a site you know sells authentic ones..

Some pointers to check if the Skin79 BB cream is genuine..

L-R: Perforated Tearing, Bar Code, Label
  • Check for the perforated tearing on the box which can be torn and has contents on the inside.
  • Skin79 bar code marking on the box.
  • Black and silver Skin79 untampered label on the bottle.

Net Wt: 50 ml (1.56 fl.oz)

Ingredients:

It comes in the typical Nature’s Co packaging of a tub with an inverted blue cap..it has a white cover inside..its off white in color..and has a sweet marshmallow smell. It is a part of the Atmosphere range of the Nature’s Co.

Its a little thick cream..worked well in summers..I do not use this in winters..since I prefer light lotions in summers..this would suit dry skin more.

Pros:

1. I like the Nature’s Co packaging..but the tub is an issue..dipping hands every time.
2. It does what it claims..soothes and calms skin.
3. Its moisturises skin well..and keeps it supple and soft.
4. No fuss ingredients..I liked grapeseed oil, avocado oil and Vitamin E along with marshmallow.
5. Quite a good amount of quantity.

Cons:

1. I find it a little heavy in summers..more suitable for dry skin.
2. Expensive.
3. The sweet marshmallow smell can be bothersome for few.

Overall its a nice day cream..no tall claims..just soothes and moisturises..does what it claims ! I would recommend this to dry skinned girls.

When I was asked to review B.Liv products..I was not sure..if they would suit me..coz they are meant more so for acne prone skin..though they have good hydrating products too..B.Liv is a part of Cellnique which is one of the best in skin care in the world.

Spots Got Shot is meant for acne and its scars..and it also secretes the excess sebum or oil in that area..and prevents recurrence.

Its a small tube..approx the size of a finger..and has a long cap..and a tiny nozzle opening.. its off white in color..no particular disturbing smell.

Pros:

1. It does work in lightening spots as claimed…but it takes time..a minimum of 10 days to see some result..do not expect overnight magic.
2. I get occasional 1-2 zits which leave scars behind..and this did work on them.
3. Since it gets absorbed fast and is to be only applied on affected areas..it can be used even in day time comfortably.
4. It does keep skin oil free for a few hours..but not longer.
5. Though it helps in clearing zits and the scars..it does not dry out the skin..like a few creams.

Cons:

1. Feels a little itchy for a few minutes as mentioned by them.
2. Lots of chemicals and parabens in ingredients.
3. Available only online. You can buy it here.
4. Expensive.

Overall I think its good for people getting occasional zits..but if anyone is suffering from acne..I would not recommend this..but some medicated lotion…does take time to clear spots though.
