What the Company claims: An excellent source of Vitamin C, mandarins protect the skin from free radical damage known to age the skin. They boost the skin’s immunity and leave it moisturized and radiant.
Lakmé Citrus Rain Fruit Detox Facewash energizes your skin and senses with its tangy, uplifting fragrance. Its high foaming formulation with juicy mandarin extracts purifies your skin from pollution and grime, without leaving it dry. Your skin feels velvety smooth and brilliantly clean.
Usage: Squeeze a small amount into hands and work into a rich lather with a little water. Massage on wet face. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly with clear water.
MRP: Rs.85/- for 50g, Rs.135/- for 100g
Ingredients:
Its a mandarin and orange based face wash…has a very citrusy smell to it..and looks tangy too. You need just a little bit and it lathers quite well…it does leave the skin squeaky clean..but one surely needs a moisturiser after using this as its a little drying..since its a foaming face wash.
Pros:
1. I liked the citrusy smell. 2. Lathers quite well. 3. It does leave the skin squeaky clean and would remove your basic makeup too. 4. I liked the packaging. 5. Economical. 6. Does not contain SLS or parabens.
Cons:
1. The flip cap does not close properly and also some product gets collected at the tip. 2. Its a little drying for my combination skin too..so I am not sure if it would suit dry skinned people.
Overall its a decent face wash..I guess would work even more better in summers. If you are oily skinned you would surely like it..

What the Company claims: Monave loose mineral powders are a blend of pure, oxidized mica, and are versatile and fun. The texture of the powders range from semi-matte (these impart a light sheen) to shimmer, to full sparkle. All of these beautiful loose powders can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and nail polish (please see directions for how to use them). The red, pink, brown and beige tones can also be mixed into a clear gloss and applied to the lips.
This is an especially enjoyable product for teenagers, who have an innate sense of fun and creativity. Makeup artists will enjoy being able to blend their own shades together to create custom colors.
Directions: Eye Shadow ~ Use any color from the MONAVE collection as eye shadow. Simply dip a MONAVE eyeshadow brush into the desired color and apply to your eyelids. Choose a lighter color as a highlighter to apply under the brow. Use a darker color in the crease as a shader.
Blush ~ Because MONAVE is so pure, the use of a blush brush will only waste your product. Instead, use cotton ball and lightly touch the tip into the desired color. Apply along the cheekbone and blend well.
Eye Liner ~ Dip your MONAVE luxurious liner brush into water then wet applicator into the desired color. Mix the powder and water together on the back of your hand or in a separate container to create a creamy liquid liner. Dip the eyeliner brush into the liquid and carefully apply to the upper and/or lower lids, staying as close to the lashes as possible.
Lip Color ~ Dip your MONAVE retractable lip brush into your clear lip gloss/lip balm and then into the desired color. Apply the mix to your lips and blend well. Add more powder to deepen the color. MONAVE cocoa butter vitamin E stick can also be used.
Nail Polish ~ Because MONAVE contains no dye, you do not need to apply a base coat. Simply use clear nail polish and dip the brush into the desired color and paint onto nails. For a darker color, use more powder. You can also mix MONAVE into colored nail polish to change its tint.
Body Shimmer/Highlighter ~ Use a cotton ball and lightly touch it into the desired color. Dust the powder onto your shoulder, face, chest etc., for a healthy glow. Certain colors can also be used as bronzers.
Ingredients: Mica, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide. May contain ferric ferrocyandie

The shades I have are 88,65,51M which are Antique Brick, Turquoise and Semi Matte Bronze described as:
51m Matte Bronze–Kiss on the sun! A sweep of this medium bronze onto lids, your face, and body gives you an instant outdoorsy glow. Warning: you may get asked if you went somewhere sunny… the Bahamas ?
65 Turquoise: Got the blues? There’s nothing dreary about this chic shade of blue! It’s mesmerizing metallic blue-turquoise is trendy and spirited! Make a bold statement with this brilliant turquoise on nails and lids.
88 Antique Brick: This sweet dusty rose is simply succulent with hints of pale raspberry and juicy watermelon. It’s delicious everywhere!
All the three shades are just awesome..I am so impressed with all the Monave products..they are amazing in quality..super duper pigmented and soft in texture..I have not seen more pigmented eye shadows yet ! In fact versatile pigmented powders yet !
T-B: Antique Brick, Turquoise, Matte Bronze
Semi Matte Bronze is one amazing bronzer, eye shadow, highlighter and looks awesome on the shoulders, neck and all places sun hits when you wearing a nice dress and out in the sun ! This shade gives you the Sun Goddess look…
Turquoise is a duo chromatic metallic blue with blue shimmer…a very unique shade..it can make your eyes pop..but be subtle with the rest of the makeup when wearing this…looks great as a liner too.
Antique Brick is a pinky red with red and silver shimmers..it can be worn lightly for a softer look or layered up for a heavy look..this shade would look great with Indian traditional wear.
Pros:
1. These are super pigmented..you need to just touch the brush to get a color and that too intense.. 2. These are so versatile..can be used in so many different ways. 3. They would last real long as you need hardly anything per use. 4. Very Economical. 5. Small and handy..the lids are tight enough and you if want carry it for a long distance you can just tape the holes. 6. These stay for long and do not crease even without a primer. 7. Available in lots of colors.
Cons:
1. Availability. You can buy it here 2. There can be a little fall out when applying..but using loose powder would handle it.
I have no other issues with it…I love these..these are perfect.

What the Company claims: What : Ideal to apply mineral foundation, loose or pressed powders. Also great to buff colors and obtain a soft, blended look. Natural bristles.
MRP: 19$
Its a small round black kabuki brush…so super handy and super soft..it fits in your palms…
I do not use sponges provided with compacts or pressed powders..I usually use such kabuki..I have one more from Oriflame Giordano..even thats super handy and super soft…but the hairs used are different and obviously the Sigma one is much softer. The powders never look cakey when used with a brush.
You can also it after your makeup just to blend the colors or harsh edges or lighten the colors or shimmers….clean any fall outs..you can use it in so many ways.
Overall I quite love it..it does not loose its shape after washing..the only problem is it does shed hair on being washed..and as its dense takes some time to dry but otherwise its quiet nice and a soft treat to skin.
What the Company claims: Your hair turns rough and dull on the surface when it is damaged from the inside. To restore your hair’s softness and shine, Dove Nourishing Oil Care Repair Mask gives advanced care and repair that your hair needs. Its revolutionary Vita-Oils nourish your hair from deep inside and effectively repair damage for 99% smoother hair.
Ingredients and Directions :
MRP: Rs.300/- for 200ml
It comes in a triangular tub packaging with curved edges..its a yellow colored thick cream similar to one part of the Dove conditioner from this range..has that typical Dove smell..
You need a dollop of it..and it is to be used similar to a conditioner from the mid length to the ends..It is directed to be used after the conditioner..but it can be used both after a conditioner and instead of a conditioner…I have used this both ways..and it works well both ways..
Pros:
1. Can be used in place of a conditioner. 2. Tames frizzy hair. 3. Its very creamy and like a deep conditioner for the hair. 4. Enough quantity. 5. It does smooth and soften hair.
Cons:
1. It is not travel friendly at all.. 2. Would become difficult to remove product from the tub once it reaches the end. 3. Its a nourishing mask..but does not cater to a particular problem..so would not help in dandruff or hair fall.
Overall I feel its a decent deep conditioning and nourishing mask for smoothening and softening of hair..can be used in place of conditioner too..

What the Company claims: Instant burst of rich, true color with a featherlight feel
-Elasticolor™ technology provides immediate color release and hugs lips with a burst of weightless color that feels like a second skin
-Available in 20 gorgeous shades, including 5 new shades!
EXPERT TIPS:
Apply directly to lips for beautiful, high impact color. Can be worn with or without lipliner.
I am not sure if these new shades are available in India yet..I have not seen them anywhere yet..
MRP: Rs.580/- for 3.7g
The shade I am reviewing is 075 Peach..its a true nude peach shade with some fine shimmer…which is not much visible but gives glossy effect to the lips.
Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks have this nice packaging..a rectangular shaped black case with criss cross patterns and the color of the shade it is on top. It has Revlon embossed on the lipstick bullet.
These are very creamy and moisturising and you can easily skip a lip balm with it. They have a slightly weird smell..but not too strong or bothering.
Now I had heard mixed reviews about the shade Peach…coz it washes out some..so I was not too sure..but I loved the shade so much that I could not resist getting it and I am glad I did…it does not wash me out at all..instead it gives a soft peachy sheen to lips..and in one swipe its quite a MLBB for me !
But as its a light shade..it would not cover pigmentation if you have pigmented lips..with one swipe it gives a soft peachy sheen and its quite buildable…and with 2-3 swipes it gives you perfect peachy lips. But the staying power of these is ok..it stays for 2-3 hours without eating or drinking..and lesser with it..but leaves a tint behind.
And how it looks on me…
Pros:
1. Very creamy and moisturising.
2. These are quite buildable…and darker shades are more pigmented.
3. I love the Peach shade..and would surely recommend it if you are around NC 35-37 or below…gives a nice peachy sheen to lips.
4. This does not settle into fine lines.
5. I liked the black case and packaging.
6. These are quite sturdy and easy to carry around.
7. Has a shelf life of 3 years.
8. Feels very light on lips..you would not even feel you are wearing a lipstick.
Cons:
1. Expensive for a lipstick but though these are very good in quality.
2. This shade would not show up on pigmented lips and would wash out people above NC 40.
3. 3.7g of quantity offered is quite less compared to other lipsticks which are normally 4 or 4.2g
Overall I quite like them and love the Peach shade in particular. I am eyeing Blush next..;)

Suitable for all skin types
Directions: Gently blend a small amount of Daily Eye Repair under and around the eye area as well as on fine lines around the mouth and forehead.
It comes in a small tube form with a very small nozzle tip..which I think is nice..coz one gets the exact amount as required. Its a white colored lotion and has some light reflective particles which brighten the under eye area.
It keeps the skin moisturised and hydrated the whole day without leaving any greasiness…it brightens the under eyes considerably. I do not have puffy eyes but it has helped many in that too. Its has won many Beauty Awards and rightly so..
Pros:
1. Perfect tube packaging with a small nozzle. 2. Its travel friendly. 3. Has borage oil, beta carotene, Vitamin E and other ingredients which provide decent hydration to the under eye skin. 4. Keeps under eyes hydrated the whole day…and you would not feel any greasiness with it. 5. It does brighten the skin..with its light reflective particles and with daily use too. 6. Not overtly expensive..it can easily be compared to high end brands in quality. 7. Since its so light in texture..it can easily be used under a concealer. 8. Has sunscreen too…but SPF 10.
Cons:
1. It has to be used regularly..once you stop using..the effect goes away slowly. 2. Only available online. You can buy it here 3. It would not conceal as it claims..just brighten the under eyes more.
Overall I quite loved this under eye daily eye repair cream..but the only qualm is its to be used regularly..but that I guess I have noticed with most of the under eye creams..once you stop using it completely..it comes back to normal..so I do not blame this for that.

Morning sun is a warm peachy orange shade…and it can be built up with more swipes. I like the classic black soft packaging. Its very sturdy. The bullet is shaped in a semi circular form. Even though its moisturising I do need a lip balm underneath this..coz its a little matte and tends to settle in fine lines.
1 swipe
2-3 swipes
Pros:
1. I loved the soft black packaging and the case..its very very sturdy.
2. The shade is pretty pigmented and quite buildable..you can get a soft orange color to a more built up warm orange.
3. Made from natural ingredients…certified natural !
4. Staying power is quite good..these stay for 4-5 hours.
5. Color goes away evenly and not in patches.
6. And the most important..these are lead free !
Cons:
1. It tends to settle in fine lines if a lip balm is not used underneath.
2. Availability is an issue. You can buy it here but its difficult to guess the exact shade online.
3. Expensive.
Overall I do like the shade..even though its not an everyday shade for me..I love using it as a soft corally orange tint..it does not look OTT…and for girls who are above NC 40 and like peach but it washes them out..this shade would not..

All of these shades have little shimmer..but not all are OTT..I loved the shade Papaya the most followed by Strawberry and Rose Gold.
Papaya is a true coral orange with very fine golden shimmer which are not much visible or do not bother much.
These glosses are non sticky and quite moistursing. I love the long sleek packaging of these..and the applicator is such that it exactly fits the shape of your lips. They have a sweet vanilla smell.
And this is how it looks on me..
You can buy it from Healthkart..they usually have discounts on it..
Pros:
1. These are totally non sticky and very creamy and moisturising.
2. Being a gloss they are quiet pigmented and stay for a good 2-3 hours on lips.
3. Though they are priced higher than other glosses the quantity they offer is also huge..I guess no gloss offers 5.9 ml of quantity.
4. These have a shelf life of 3 years..so do not worry if you have too much makeup and think you can never finish stuff.
5. The applicator wand is shaped to exactly fit the shape of your lips.
6. All the shades offered are pretty good.
7. The shimmer is very fine and not OTT and neither does it stray away from lips.
8. I like the long sleek packaging.
9. It has sweet almond,olive,chamomile and avocado extracts.
Cons:
I did not find any cons with it actually !
Overall I am in love with this…the shade, the texture, packaging, everything..
