L'Oreal Paris Youth Code youth boosting cream EYE

Posted by Unknown at 15:59 2 comments
Hello all beautiful people,

Hw ru doing ?.. I've been a lot in skin care lately. So today I Hv come up with a review of an eye cream from loreal. This is an anti aging product. I have never used any anti aging products but I've heard ppl say to start using anti aging from your late twenties. Since m still in my early twenties it's not for me. So I started testing it on my mom for the review. She has light dark circles due to her late night sleeping schedule n also fine lines. So after hearing positive points from many people I decided to buy this product.



Price:800/- for 15ml

What company claims:





L'Oreal Youth Code Eye Cream gives you rejuvenated skin within just one hour! With over ten years of clinical studies and extensive research into genes, L'Oreal have decoded the secret to younger looking skin! L'Oreal Youth Code Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream helps fight, repair and protect the delicate eye area from the visible signs of ageing including crows feet and fine lines, leaving your eyes looking younger and more radiant than ever before.
Luxurious illuminating texture which melts into the skin enveloping it with moisture.
1-hour skin feels smoother n hyderated 
1-week the eye area appears more rested n looks radiant
1-month wrinkles , dark circles n under eye bags a appear visibly reduced 
Skin looks rejuvenated
The moisturising formula helps improve the skin's ability to behave more youthfully and is enriched with L'Oréal Paris' patented Pro-GenTM technology.
Directions:
Apply Youth Code Eye Cream daily, morning and/or evening, around the eye contour area.

Packaging:

Comes in cute square white color jar with a glossy black screw cap. I really like the jar , looks very edgy n cute. But it's a glass jar which might break if fallen n little unhygienic to dig your fingers to get the cream.

My experience with the product:

Firstly it's fragrance free. The cream texture is neither very thick nor very thin n comes in a very pale pink shade. Very little can go a long way. It gets absorbed into the skin very soon n gives a MOISTURISING effect instantly.. It can  b smoothly blended n does not make your eye area sticky or greasy. 
So when She started using this product I found it to b very hydrating n as claimed by the brand it really made the area soft n smooth.. After regular use of the product I felt her eye area to b lifted n radiant, and I felt her skin tighter firmer n radiant.
As far as dark circles are concerned they did become light but after a long time n that too just little difference. It did not make her dark circles disappears totally. But yeah it definitely lightened the area. 
But it had more effect on skins firmness n elasticity .. 
I really think it did bring lotta difference in the eye area n continuous use may enhance more.

Cons: 

Expensive
Not that effective on dark circles
Only for the people above 30's
Comes in a jar which is unhygienic , I wud have preferred a tube.

Overall view:

Good for the people with fine lines n wrinkled skin, definitely good for mature skin . But buy it only if u really need an eye cream.. 

Rating:4/5

The body shop MORINGA shower gel review

Posted by Unknown at 21:18 0 comments
Hi everyone,
Today m gonna review a TBS shower gel, THE BODY SHOP is my favorite brand when it comes to bath n skin care products after LUSH . So today m gonna review the shower gel in MORINGA..




Price: 395/- for 250ml

Product claims: 

This soap-free shower gel contains real moringa seed oil and has the delicate scent of white flowers.
  • Soap-free
  • Lather-rich
  • Delicate floral scent
Ingredients:



Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Polysorbate 20, Mel, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, PEG-18 Glyceryl Oleate/Cocoate, Parfum, Myristamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Phenethyl Alcohol, Caprylyl Glycol, p-Anisic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Disodium EDTA, Benzyl Salicylate, Geraniol, Moringa oleifera, Sorbitol, Caramel, CI 19140.

Packaging:

Comes in a transparent bottle with a flip cap. The bottle is recyclable .. ingredients come on in a peel off stickers . N the expiry is engraved on the bottle.






My experience with the product:

M very fond of shower gels with strong long lasting smells. I chose MORINGA as it's a very floral but strong smelling shower gel. It smells like strong jasmine n MORINGA flowers, it takes me to my childhood days when we had jasmine plant with beautifully smelling flowers. It's really fresh summery smell which can invigorate your mind n body.. 
The lasting power is obviously very less , it may last for about an hour or two after your bath. It can b lasting if used with the body butter of the same MORINGA n mist ..
It lathers heavily with a wet loofah , n little can b enough for whole body. I don't find them drying which many other shower gels do. They are really MOISTURISING but u definitely need a moisturizer for skin.

Cons:

Contains SLS 
Some people might feel very strong

Overall view:

Nice fragrance , might refreshes the body , does not leave the skin dry , affordable n little can go a long way, cruelty free..

Rating: 4.5/5

My vellvette bag- November

Posted by Unknown at 01:24 3 comments
Hi people..
I no m late for the month of November's vellvette bag. But I had issues with bag so took some time.. Actually I recieved my bag with a damaged lispstick so they replaced it with a new one n that took little time So I got late to publish this post.
So here I m with my vellvette bag update. .
So finally this time after a long disappointment m finally happy with my bag. This time I got good products .
Well the theme was band baja baraat.. the products best suited the theme n were actually the basics for a marriage festival.
The bag was a zipper bag in pink color with black polka dots n looked good. I think this is the best packaging since the bags started.





I got the 3 product with 1 bonus product.
1- Flormar deluxe shine gloss lipstick in Dc-35
2- I love strawberry & milkshake shower gel
3- Thalgo votre pore shrink toner

The bonus product is mary kay intense night cream.

Flormar deluxe shine gloss lipstick- dc 35



Flormar is a French cosmetic brand, n this deluxe shine lipstick is a nature enriched with argan oil , vitamin n cocoa butter which is hydrating n nourishing . 
But personally I don't prefer gloss or glossy stuff n this is a gloss in lipstick. So it's quite messy n thick n sticky.. This is the only product I dint like. It's total waste for me. It is a red shade in gloss. I got a full size sample which original price costs about 700/- for 3gm.

I Love strawberry & milkshake shower gel



This is a sample size in in 50ml. It comes in several flavors. I wud prefer buying other versions. This strawberry n milkshake version is not that awesome but neither bad.. I wud definitely try other soon. It's a well known shower gel brand . The packaging is really tempting . Full size cost around 795/- for 550ml , n 250/- for 100ml.

Thalgo votre pore shrink toner

The best thing I like about this product is that it's Parabens free n cruelty free. M yet to try this product n il surely review it soon. It's made of botanical extracts .. It claims to minimize pores. Comes in a blue color liquid n smells good n is really strong.

Bonus product Mary Kay extra emmollient night cream




This is a bonus product I got n it's a night cream or basically a moisturizing cream. It's too thick n oily so I don't prefer using on face as I have an oily face so I used it as a lip balm on my lips. N it is really great for lips or hands. . I like it . The smell is most of the grandmas cosmetics type, it might annoy few people but I like it..

Overall it's a good bag n my subscription ends this month n I m gonna review it again n give it a chance again. Hope for the best in future..

Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel review n swatches

Posted by Unknown at 01:51 1 comments
Hello everyone,
I no many people love this winter season, personally my favorite as it comes with child winds n cosy weather n I love these months specially December as it is the month of my bday n also end of the year.. So month of celebrations, gives me a great feeling. Anyways let's come to the point so I love all about this winter except for the dery flaky skin.. So here's a review of a moisture drink for your skin that is Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel ..



Price: 1500/- for 50ml , 2850/- for 125ml

Product claims:

A moisture "drink" for dehydrated skin to give enough moisture.
Comes in two forms gel n lotion. Gel is for combination to oily skin type n lotion is for dry skin.
Comes in two variants. 50ml n 125ml.
Improves skin texture.
Oil free




Packaging:

Comes in a matte finish plastic tube which is transparent n that helps to know the quantity left in the tube. Comes with a silver rolling cap .



My take on the product:

Many people think moisturizers are not needed for oily skin as it's already oily.. But there's a lot of difference between oil n hydration.. Any skin type needs to b moisturizer for keeping skin hydrated..
But right moisturizer is the key to oily skin type. As most of the moisturizers are oily n may cause breakouts, atleast they do for me.
Since Clinique claims it's an oil free n matte finish so I decided to take a 50ml pack n test it.. It's alight weight moisturizer which spreads like a pro n little is enough for whole face.
Gives u instant moisturisation n skin feels soft n supple instantly.
I think the best moisturizer I ever used. Gives me superb moisture without giving me any shiny look.
It's total matte in few seconds but skin looks superbly soft n smooth.. I couldn't keep my hands off my skin for the first time I tried.. M in love with this product. I apply it every night n yes it keeps me shine free till morning.. It's so light weight that it can also b used as a primer under your makeup. It makes skin a smooth canvas for a perfect makeup base.. It dint cause me any breakouts. Everytime I wash my face the first thing I wanna do is just apply this moisturizer.. I just wish it was a little lesser in price.. 

Cons: 

Expensive

Rating:4.9/5

Overall verdict: 

All those who want an oil free light weight moisturizer must must try this, I highly recommend this to everyone.. M madly in love with it..

Will I purchase again?? 
Yes definitely, I will for sure.

Mac prep+prime transparent finishing/pressed powder review n swatches

Posted by Unknown at 16:51 1 comments
Hi beauties ..

M back with a new Mac product review.. V all struggle to find a perfect compact powder for us.. Either it don't match with our foundation or our shade.. Finding perfect powder has always been a issue..
To resolve this transparent powders have been introduced.. This transparent powders can b used on any skin tones dark to light..



Price: 1550/- 6.3g

What product claims:

A colorless powder for all skin tone.
Reduces shine n controls oil.
Minimizes fine lines & imperfections.
Gives your makeup finishing look.

Packaging: 



Packaging is definitely a thumbs up for all the Mac products.. This powder comes in a sparkly black box. The compact is a shiny black in case n also sleek n travel friendly.. It has a mirror inside. Comes with a white color pressed powder which becomes transparent after blending..





My take on the product:

At first when I saw the product by a makeup artist I was like ' WHITE POWDER ON MY FACE' ru serious??? But yes after she applied on my face n I could see a large difference.. At first I wanted to buy a much hyped mineralise skin finish powder.. But then I tried skin finish on 1 half n this on other.. N u no I've come home back with the transparent one.. Mineralise skin finish gives u a little shiny look while this is a total matte product..
This transparent powder is perfect for combination to oily skin type. As this powder controls shine n keeps your make up from caking or getting oily.. While I have a combination skin type my t-zones get oily after few hours.. This pressed powder definitely controls shine n combat oil for a long time.. 
This powder is totally invisible.. It's great for regular makeup as well as on heavy makeup.. As it gives very natural look n does not looks like u have applied anything above your foundation. It just matti files n set your foundation . It can stop u looking like a clown with a heavy coverage foundation n then powder over it, it just does not show up on your face at all. M totally impressed with this product.. 
But u need to b very careful using it.. Little is more for this powder, since it's a white translucent powder little can give u the finish. If u apply more u might end up with a white cast on your face .. So apply a very little with a large powder brush n a very light hand.. N that's it.. 

Cons:
It does not have any brush.
Might b expensive but I think it's worth it.
Might give u white cast if applied more.

Rating: 4.5/5

Overall verdict:

Awesome product for all skintones splay for oily or combination type, long lasting, oil controlling, matte look, sets very fine n does not show up, gives u a very natural finish. I highly highly recommend everyone .. Best powder if come across till now.. Comes in loose powder n pressed version .

BOURJOIS Paris intense extrait eyeshadow 07, 08 review n swatches

Posted by Unknown at 17:25 0 comments
Hello everyone..
Today m gonna review two eye shadows from BOURJOIS famous intense eye shadows..
As u all know m very keen on buying unique shades , these two are again unique colors for eyes.


Price:410/- for 1gm

What company claims:

Pure color
High coverage
Ultra long lasting upto 16hrs
Blends easily
Highly concentrated pigments
Great color pay off in single application
Made of mineral pigments
Parabeen free
Hypoallergenic 

Packaging:

Comes in small round pots with a sleek lid to b closed with magnetic lock.
Looks very sleek n beautiful.
Has mirror inside which is definitely useful.
The pot is in color of the shade which makes me easy to find it in my stash..

My take on the product:

These single eye shadows comes in 10 different shades numbered as 01 to 10.
I chose 07 and 08. Both of them are dramatic smokey shades..

07 is a my favorite among both..it's a cement grey shade with little chunks of golden glitter.. While glitter is very subtle n very little.. It's a great shade for smokey look n can b paired with other colors to make a soft look.. It's a very unique shade .



08 is a copper reddish brown shade which is a classic shade of Indian skin tones n looks.. It can b paired with gold n perfect for Indian weddings..looks great on brown n black eyes.




The color pay off is great n I think it fulfill all it's claims.. As they long very long without primer too. With primer it might give u more than 10hrs of stay. The coverage is great n gives enough color in one sweep. They blends very smoothly n is highly pigmented, little can go a long way. Color fallout is only in the pan not after application. They are not chalky or patchy. Can b used as wet n dry. Since the pots are sleek n the shades are pressed n baked , thus travel friendly..They are made of 87% of minerals which are very good for people with contact lenses as it may not cause any irritation, it's hypoallergenic n also Parabeen free.. 


Overall verdict:

Overall I think great shades for long lasting power n also mineral ingredients .. Great color pay off.
Yes I will buy again ..definitely intense shades. I highly recommend all.

Cons: 

I think little expensive for a single shade.
Fallout in pot .
Without brush. (Which I don't mind as I don't use those brushes even if provided ) 

Rating: 4/5
