Revlon Manicure Essentials Kit Review, Photos

Hey first of all HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you…sorry for not posting from the last 2-3 days..I was unwell….yes unwell on new year 🙁
As I had said before my cousin from US got me the Bath and Body Works JCB Body Lotion and this Revlon manicure kit.

What the Company claims:  Compact kit for perfect manicures on-the-go. Includes four expert tools.
Everything you need for a professional manicure in an easily portable kit. Includes four expert tools for the perfect manicure–Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer, Curved Blade Nail Clip, Compact Emeryl file for flawless shaping and a Buffer for a brilliant, natural shine. Deluxe nylon carrying case protects tools for easy transport.

  •  Dual–ended Cuticle Trimmer pushes back cuticles and keeps them neat.
  •  Nail Clip with curved blades safely trims nails.
  •  Compact Emeryl file shapes and smoothes nails quickly.
  •  Buffer creates a high gloss shine. Gentle enough to use everyday. 

Over 75 years of superior quality.Precision crafted, fully inspected to ensure exceptional performance.

It has lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects (but sadly valid only in US and Canada. 🙁 )

How to use:

  • First soak hands in warm, soapy water to prepare. 
  • To trim nails: Clip from each side of the nail towards the center. Do not cut below the nail line. 
  • To shape nails: Start with Emeryl file’s shaping side to shape nails. Follow with finishing side to smooth and shape. Always file in one direction to prevent splitting. 
  • To trim cuticles: Push cuticles back with contoured end of cuticle trimmer, then glide metal end (with V–tip facing up) along cuticle edge.
  • To buff nails: Remove all nail enamel before buffing. With the white surface, buff vigorously across the nail until stains and ridges are removed. Using the grey side, finish nails to a brilliant shine.

MRP: I am not aware as its a gift..but at international.drugstore.com it says Rs 260/-

We all know the uses of a nail clipper and filer as we are using it from a long time. Let me share with you the uses of a cuticle trimmer and buffer.

Cuticle is the protective seal between the nail plate and the skin. However, some people tend to have thick and rough cuticles. The cuticle skin gets thicker and also grows in a upward direction. In such cases, a cuticle trimmer can be used. However avoid cutting excessive cuticle skin as it can leave your nail at risk of infection.A cuticle trimmer is a nail care product which is used to trim rough, thick cuticles and hangnails. Thick cuticles give an unpleasant look; hangnails around the nails can catch clothes and cause a lot of pain. To solve this problem, you can get yourself a cuticle trimmer. However, a cuticle trimmer should be used occasionally as excessive trimming of cuticles can lead to infection. It also helps making the nails appear longer..especially for those who have short nail beds. But do not forget to soften the cuticles using oil or moisturiser before trimming them.

Buffer on the other hand gives a nice healthy sheen to the nails.A nail buffer is what is used to smooth out the nails and remove any pits and ridges – hence it buffs them up.

Coming to the kit..

Pros:

1. Its economical at this price.
2. Has the 4 necessary tools required the most,
3. Quality of the tools is damn good.
4. Comes with a pouch with separate holders.
5. Easy to carry around anywhere as the pouch would snugly fit in.

Cons:

1. I did not find any except the availability issue as I have not seen this in India..but if you happen to lay your hands on this…do get it…coz it would stay a long time with you..

Rating:

Quality- 5/5
Value for money-5/5
Availability-2/5

Overall rating-4.5/5

Would I buy it again: I would need to…but as a gift I would surely.

Have you tried this kit ? Which other brand have you used ?

Garnier Body Cocoon Review


I know many of you have tried it and I have got mixed reviews..some love it and it their HG and some hate it..well I found it to be somewhere in between.

What the Company claims :
Is this right for me ? Yes, if your skin feels dry, rough, flaky and tight, Garnier Body Cocoon moisturising lotion will soothe and restore the skin’s suppleness, leaving it feeling unbelievably soft.
How is it different ?
Its creamy yet light texture is instantly absorbed into the skin-enveloping it in a nourishing cocoon of softness, leaving it deliciously fragranced. Its moisturising formula blends selected natural ingredients.
Nutritive fruit oils from apricots, olives, blackcurrants and avocados to deliver an immediate burst of moisture to the skin.
Visible Results: Dry skin appears transformed Visibly smoother, Noticeably softer. Do not apply on the face.

Garnier Body products use wherever possible, active natural ingredients which have been carefully extracted to preserve their quality and purity.
Have been dermatologically tested to ensure respect to your skin.
Now this is a huge huge claim :p

Ingredients: Aqua/Water, Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Elaeis Guineensis/Palm Oil, Stearyl Heptanoate, Hexyldecanol, Olea Europaea/Olive Fruit Oil, Persea Gratissima/Avocado Oil, Prunus Armeniaca/Apricot Kernel Oil, Ribes Nigrum/Black Currant Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera/Grape Seed Oil, Carbomer, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Caprylate, Triethanolamine, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Parfum/Fragrance, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

MRP: Rs 89/- for 125 ml and Rs 145/- for 250 ml (which was 75 and 130 before..why the increase in prices !!)

This is a thick white lotion..actually the texture is more like a cream and thats why takes ages for it to come out.
The smell is a bit different and weird but it faints in a few minutes and does not stay for long.

Pros:
1. It moisturises the skin well for my normal body skin.
2. Economical at Rs 89/-
3. Easy to carry around.
4. I like the packaging and the bright orange bottle.
5. Does not leave the skin greasy.

Cons:
1. Takes 5 mins to get absorbed into the skin properly.
2. Would not suit extra dry skin as they would need more moisturisation.
3. Claims are too high and it does not fulfill all.
4. I would expect more qty as this small bottle if used on hands and legs would not even stay for 2-3 weeks.

Rating:

Quality- 3.5/5
Value for money- 3/5
Availabilty- 5/5

Overall rating- 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I quite liked it as it does suit my skin.

Something about the Japanese cherry blossom : The cherry blossom lotion has certain extracts that help to smoothen the skin and make it soft and naturally shiny. It cleanses the skin of harmful toxins and keeps it looking good and healthy. These benefits are further heightened when coupled with the sweet fragrance of cherries that comes from the lotion and from those areas of the body on which the lotion is applied.

Overall rating- 3.5/5 (less coz of the smell)

Would I buy it again- If I get to I would surely…esp the Warm Vanilla Sugar, Black Amethyst, Twilight Woods..

Lacto Calamine Lotion Review- Classic and Aloe

Lacto Calamine Lotion Review- Classic and Aloe


I have been using Lacto Calamine from the last 4-5 years and can easily say its my HG..it is one product I cant live without. I have three of these right now too :p
I have used both the Classic (normal to oily skin one) and Aloe Moisturiser (dry to normal skin one).I will state the ingredients and exact difference between both of them. It is a light pink lotion with medium consistency.

LC Classic :

What the Company claims : Skinsurance. Daily use formula with balanced Kaolin and Glycerin. The goodness of Clay and Glycerin gives your skin : 1. Nourishment 2.Acne and Oil Control 3. Dead skin removal 4. Protection. Apply everyday for clear,beautiful skin.

MRP : Rs. 32 for 30ml, Rs.52 for 60 ml and Rs.72 for 120 ml (Both have same prices)

Ingredients : Aqua, Light Kaolin, Castor oil, Glycerin, Zinc Oxide, Zinc Carbonate, emulsifiers, preservatives, perfume and permitted colors.

Directions : Shake well before use.

LC Aloe Moisturiser :

What the Company claims : Skinsurance. Daily use formula with Kaolin and Special Moisturisers. Discover Skinsurance for dry skin. 1. Moisturisation 2. Protection 3. Dead skin removal  4. Acne Control. Apply everyday for soft, clear skin.

MRP : same

Ingredients : Aqua, Light Kaolin, Sorbitol soln 70%, Propylene Glycol, glycerine, Aloe Vera gel, Castor oil, Zinc Oxide, Zinc Carbonate, Simethicone, emulsifiers, preservatives,perfume and permitted colors. (highlighted ingredients different from classic)

Directions : same

Pros:

1. Clay, Glycerin and Aloe all are beneficial for the skin.
2. Keeps oil and shine at bay and does reduce acne with regular use.
3. Is tinted..so can be used daily to even out skin.
4. Reduces redness and soothes skin.
5. Helps in burns, insect bites,etc
6. It does help in dead skin removal and nourishment..I use it regularly but skipped it during my exams as I had no time at all…and my skin had gone all haywire…and with its regular use again it came back to normal. I just swear by this. This is the best thing ever made for me :p
7. Helps with cleaning up any makeup mistakes..I just dab some LC on a Q tip and clean out any mess..whether eye liner,lip liner or smudgy kohl..this cleans it off lightly.
8. Expiry date is 5 years from the date of manufacture..its going to stay long even if you are not a regular user.
9. The small bottle is absolutely travel friendly..you can carry it around anywhere.
10.Economical at this price.

Cons :

1. It is not moisturising enough. It leaves the skin dry and in winters I need a moisturiser over this but in summers I am fine with this. But dry skinned people will obviously need a moisturiser over this.
2. I personally dint find any difference in the Classic and Aloe one except the ingredients.
3. Those who like a dewy effect on the skin would not like this as it gives a matte effect. (I love that :p)
4. If not shaken well…the liquid would separate and that would come out first as it has a wide opening.

Overall rating- 5/5

Would I buy it again- YES..forever and ever ..:D

Do you use LC ? Do you like it ?
