My Experience with Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color Burgundy Lush

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color Burgundy Lush Review 4

PACKAGING:

The product comes in a small twist bottle, with sponge applicator which is quite flexible. I really like the packaging because of rose gold cap (Huge sucker for rose gold) and of course sponge applicator makes it easier to apply the lipstick.

SMELL:

It smells DELICIOUS! GOODNESS! The smell just brings huge smile and satisfaction on your face once you smell it. If only it could be a perfume smell…

WEARIBILITY:

This one was a bit of a bummer for me as the lasting power on my lips was not long, It faded off quite quickly and that was very disappointing for me. Applying the product was easy enough but it did not last long on my lips, it faded within an hour or so after application.

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color Burgundy Lush Review 5

Overall performance 

The performance of the product was a little disappointing since after all it is a lipstick and most important thing in a lipstick would be its staying power. However if you don’t mind re-applying often then by all means you should try this product as their color range is quite good. Maybe the staying power on someone else’s lips would be better than it did on mine.

Would I recommend it or repurchase?

I really do want to recommend this to everyone because of its smell but that would be a wrong reason to purchase it. The colors in this range are great,I personally did’nt like the formula.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

Hello ladies! As women of color it is really hard for us all to find a foundation that perfectly matches you. Even many local Indian brands fails to cater products for deeper skin tones, they usually have 3-4 shades and expect them to match everyone. I have never found a foundation that would match me perfectly without making my skin look ashy which a lot of foundation did. I personally never use to wear foundation before but after I found the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation, I seriously love using it because of how seamless it feels and looks on my skin. It doesn’t make my face look ashy at all and settles in beautifully while giving a matte finish. This Charlotte Tilbury foundation  is definitely worth trying if you are looking to splurge a little on some luxurious make up product. You can also read the review of Chanel Foundation HERE .

Price:

Around 3000 INR (Purchased online)

 

 

My Experience with Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

  • PACKAGING: The product comes in a glass bottle with pump application which is easy and hygienic. It has a rose gold cap which is so beautiful; I’m a sucker for rose gold color. You can get out most of the product out as you can also unscrew the bottle and re use it.
  • SMELL: It has a funny smell though it doesn’t affect the foundation or anything as such. You can’t smell it on your face.
  • WEARIBILITY: As a matte finish foundation it lasts quite long on your face without needing touch ups (for me). It stays put on the skin beautifully and makes it look part of your skin.

Overall performance of Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

I am highly satisfied with the product’s performance as it does do magic on face since it is so seamless and light weight and brightens your whole face without making it look cakey. I kind of guessed my color as I got it online and luckily it looks just fine and isn’t too dark or light for me.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation 5

Would I recommend it or repurchase?

I would definitely recommend this to all of you if you are unable to find a foundation that looks good on you or if you are looking to explore. It is a bit pricey but it is worth all that money. I would repurchase when I finish this one.

The smell of saffron is very refreshing and after effects are quite instant. Moreover, Neem is also very beneficial to our overall health including our skin. It is anti-bacterial, helps fight acne, boils and other things. It also helps achieve clear skin and getting rid of pigmentation. Therefore, cleansing your face with a cleanser with such ingredients is just like washing your face with goodness.

My Experience with Forest Essentials Delicate Facial Cleanser Kashmiri Neem and Saffron

  • PACKAGING: It comes in a tall clear plastic bottle with a pump that makes it easier to get the product out. The product color is yellow because of the saffron. The bottle is can be reused for any other liquid product, great for re-using it for coconut oil as you would not get too much product out due to the pump, it is best to have pump in liquid products.
  • SMELL: It smells of saffron and it is quite refreshing scent and once you apply on your face it energizes the whole mood.

I would recommend this to anyone in search for a delicate face cleanser for sensitive skin but I wouldn’t personally repurchase it again as I have other face washes I would like to try out from different brands. Nevertheless, it is a good one as it is Ayurvedic, has all natural and minimum ingredients.

The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter Review 1

Hello ladies! As the sun have finally started to shine on us again and winter is gone till next year, I am going to review The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter that saved me during the winters. The body butters from body shop in general are really moisturizing as well as smell good. Since body butter generally are more on thicker compared to lotions, they are very rich in moisture and the body butter from body shop is really good with that and it smells really fresh and light.

The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter Review

  • SMELL: It smells really good, leaving your skin smelling fresh for the whole day.
  • WEARIBILITY: This product lasts on your skin for good amount of hours; if your skin is normal then it would last around the whole day. On the other hand for a dry skin, you may be required to reapply once more if you feel dry. My skin is normal, however in India’s weather it goes slightly dry and after applying this body butter, my skin definitely feels moisturized throughout the day.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Powder Mink Review

Hi, you all hope everyone is doing well! When we all started using makeup in beginning, it used to be so simple, so few products and now there are a countless number of products we used for a full face makeup! Before we would only use Kajal, mascara, blush, lipstick, and maybe foundation too. However now there are set of products for eyebrows, a set for eyes, a whole lot of products for face, then a few more for lips. There are so many products that go on face starting from moisturizer, then a serum, foundation, corrector, concealer, under eye powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter, face powder, setting spray. So many products just for face makeup!

Today I am going to be reviewing a contouring powder for you guys! I never knew what contouring was before and I am sure none of us did! But contouring became quite a thing after Kim Kardashian’s famous photo of her getting contoured by her make-up artist. Basically, contouring helps you slim your face features and sharpen them to show an illusion of having hollow and defined cheekbones. Contouring has become a ritual for many of us at least occasionally. And personally I kind of enjoy contouring; it sharpens your features to quite an extent. I am reviewing for you the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Powder in Mink. It is a really nice chocolate matte brown color that works great for achieving shadows, which is basically how contouring is done; by creating shadows to give an illusion of a slim face.

Basic info about Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Powder Mink

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Powder in Mink is a deep chocolate matte brown color, great for contouring and very easy to use.

Brand Claims the following:

– Can create your favorite contoured effect

Price: 500 INR for the refillable pan (bought online), whole contour kit is more expensive.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Powder Mink Review 4

Shades/Variety: There are many shades available but this one is great for people with olive skin tone as it creates nice shadows to achieve contouring effect.

Formulation: Matte Satin powder finish.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Powder Mink Review 3

My Experience with Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Powder Mink

  • PACKAGING: I bought a refill pan instead of a proper one as it was on sale when I bought it. The packaging is very basic and the pan comes in a brand’s black paper pouch with the pan inside a plastic transparent seal. The packaging is quite compact as you can just keep the product inside the seal without having to buy a box for the pan.
  • SMELL: There is no smell to the product.
  • WEARABILITY: The pigmentation of the contour powder is quite good, when I first applied the powder, the pigmentation was so strong that I had to keep blending and rubbing the powder for it to blend properly for long. You definitely need to use this little by little instead of going all at once heavy handed. You can always build the product on as it is much easier than rubbing the product in for long. Staying power of the product is quite good as well, it would stay put for at least 5-6 hours, which is quite decent for me.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Powder Mink Review 5

Overall performance of Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Powder Mink

I am quite satisfied with this product; I was so excited to purchase this product because of all the raves on YouTube. It is definitely worth it and does the job quite well.

Would I recommend it or repurchase?

I would definitely recommend this to people as there aren’t many contouring powders available that caters to women of color and this brand offers shades variety. It contours pretty well and is quite easy to use.

Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum

Hey you all! Today I will be sharing my thoughts with you regarding a hair product that I have used for a while now. We all are so particular about our hair just like we are so particular about our food. Well, we should be very particular about both of these things as food affects our health and health affects our hair. I used to have really bad hair when I was younger because I never really took care of my hair like I do now. Let me tell you a little secret, I only recently started eating eggs just to grow out my hair and to improve it’s quality…:3 I have experimented a lot with hair products from shampoos to serums. I never really used serums but only started after seeing YouTube videos and know the function of it and how it benefits. I have dry and frizzy hair and the main thing I look for when I want to purchase a serum is that it should tame frizziness and nowadays you can find a lot of serums in the market that claims to control frizz. But really there are only few that work genuinely. Along with taming frizz, I look for the serum to moisturize the end dries off my hair.

I have been using Matrix Biolage Deep Smoothing Serum for quite a while now and it has helped me to a certain extent to combat frizziness and dryness. It contains avocado and grapeseed oil and avocado is really good for your hair and body. You can use avocado for natural DIY hair mask for moisturizing effects. I have tried once or twice but I didn’t work for me well.

Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum

Basic Info about Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum

Matrix Biolage is a deep smoothing serum that claims to have 6 benefits and contains natural ingredients like avocado and grapeseed oil.

Brand Claims the following:

– Controls Frizz
– Adds instant shine
– Nourishes dry hair
– Instantly detangles
– Smoothes rough ends
– Protects from humidity

Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum 1

Price: 295 INR for 100 ml (Quite a lot of quantity)

How to apply: All you have to do is, squeeze some product out on your palm and rub it together to heat it a bit and apply it on the lengths of your hair and do not apply near the scalp area. You can apply it on wet hair as well as dry which is what I do mostly; after washing hair and then every day till I wash my hair next.

 

Formulation: Liquid formula

Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum 3

My Experience with Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum

  • PACKAGING: The product comes in a yellow/orange color plastic bottle with white cap and you need to tilt the bottle to get the product out in your palms. The packaging is very basic but colorful. It highlights the effects of the serum on the front.
  • SMELL: There is no smell to it, maybe a slight oil smell but nothing overwhelming for your hair and nose.
  • Effects: The after effects of the serum are just like any other serum, nothing too big of a difference. It doesn’t fight humidity for my hair and fails to defrizz my hair.

Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum 2

Overall performance of Matrix Biolage 6 in 1 Smooth Proof Deep smoothing Serum

Overall I have had a satisfactory experience with this product, nothing too extraordinary that you are missing out on. But it does do what it claims; it does slightly smooths out my hair but doesn’t moisturize my dry ends much, only for some time.Pretty average I would say.

Would I recommend it or repurchase?

It is a product that you can try if you want or pass out if you want. I would not want to repurchase this same serum again and rather try other natural serums.

Chambor Orosa Lip Perfection Dolce Vita Pink Review 1

 

Hi, guys!! Sorry I have been away for quite long as I was super busy in my sister’s wedding! I did my own makeup and hair for all her functions. I especially got makeup for the wedding including powders, lipsticks and an eyeshadow palette that I’m in love with! So there are a couple of products I will be reviewing back to back for you that I used during the wedding. I always wanted to try Chambor products because I have always tried the other local brands like Lakme, Maybelline, and Revlon but Chambor seemed a bit more chic to me and luxurious than other brands mentioned. Finally, I got to try something from Chambor and today I am reviewing Chambor Orosa Lip Perfection in 556 Dolce Vita Pink. It is a beautiful bright pink shade lipstick, not over the top pink but a bright enough pink for my skin tone to wear in mehndi because it is the one I wore in mehndi function! Since Mehendi is all colorful and I wore a yellow crop top and pink skirt, I thought a pink lipstick would be perfect for the vibrant and playful look. I think this pink would generally suit all skin colors and would complement.

It is a bright pink color lipstick, not too on the face pink, but bright enough to wear it every day especially during summers to bring little color on your face and to brighten it up.

Chambor Orosa Lip Perfection Dolce Vita Pink Review 1

 

Basic Info of Chambor Orosa Lip Perfection Dolce Vita Pink

Brand Claims the following:

–  A creamy lipstick which rejuvenates moisturizes and smoothens the lips.

–  Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, it visibly reduces lip creases with every application.

–  No animal ingredients

–  Dermatologically tested.

Price: 995 INR

Chambor Orosa Lip Perfection Dolce Vita Pink Review 2

Shades/Variety: There are 12 shades available in the Orosa range.

Formulation: Creamy finish formula

My Experience with Chambor Orosa Lip Perfection Dolce Vita Pink

 

  • PACKAGING: The packaging of this lipstick is so cute, it comes in a rose gold tube which I loveeeeee! I am a sucker for rose gold, it just makes everything stands out. I am sold when I see a rose gold packing of a lipstick.
  • SMELL: It has got a nice citrus, tangerine smell to the lipstick. Whenever you apply it on your lips, this nice scent comes and makes you feel refreshed because of the citrus scent.
  • WEARABILITY : To my surprise, the Wearability of this lipstick is quite good maybe because it has a creamy finish to it. It glides on your lips very smoothly and in 1 swipe too, which explains the strong pigmentation too! The color payoff is really good and it lasts quite long on the lips because of its pigmentation.

Chambor Orosa Lip Perfection Dolce Vita Pink ReviewChambor Orosa Lip Perfection Dolce Vita Pink Review

I am definitely impressed by this product, the Wearability and pigmentation are quite good and is worth the price. The color is very pleasant for all skin tones and the product glides on very smoothly on lips and stays put for quite long.

Would I recommend it or repurchase?

I would recommend this to you guys, especially this color if you are hunting for pink shade to wear in summers! It will definitely brighten up that smile of yours! In future, I would like to try different colors from this range.

This masque has helped me with dryness as it really does moisturize upon application and it does instantly wakes up my face but for short time only.

Rimmel London Long Lasting Finish Lipstick Heartbreaker 4

Hi you all! I am back again with another lipstick review for you all, who doesn’t love lipsticks after all. Back when I started wearing lipsticks, I used to mostly like wearing pinks, and then slowly started with red and then so forth. There was a phase where I started wearing MAC Rebel a lot; it is a purple shade with pink undertone. The shade looked very nice on me and still does till now, though I don’t wear it much. It is a deeper tone that I wore in winters more. Anyways, I am reviewing for you Rimmel London Long Lasting Finish Lipstick in Heartbreaker.  It is a really gorgeous purple shade with a pink undertone, it is not the usual deep purple sorts, and it is more of a pinky one.

When I started wearing lipsticks, I used to watch a lot of YouTube videos about makeup and all. That’s where I used to see reviews of products but many were not easily available in Hong Kong (I have been living there for more than 10 years now). So when I came to know me and my family is going to London for vacation, I made a list of things to buy that is only available there and getting lipsticks from Rimmel was one of the items on my checklist! So I purchased it there and instantly fell in love with shade and I wore it the whole time in London and that is love this lipstick so much, I have this attached memory to the color and scent. It always reminds me of London and I am so glad I can get my hands on shade through Nykaa, will be getting back up of it soon. :D

  • PACKAGING: The product comes in normal round lipstick tube in dark purple color. The packaging is very simple with the Rimmel logo on the tube cap.
  • SMELL: It has a really lovely smell to it and every time I wear it, it reminds me of London as it is where I got it from.
  • WEARABILITY: The lipstick stays on for pretty long and since it is a dark color, even after the lipstick fades off, there is still a hint of the color on the lips. You wouldn’t have to do touch ups every now and then with this lipstick. It gives an intense pigmentation on the lips and is very smooth on the lips. It is not at all drying or anything; it glides on nicely and feels light on the lips throughout the day.

I love this lipstick and this shade especially, it would look lovely on all skin tones.

The color payoff is quite good, stays on for long enough and is really affordable.

Would I recommend it or repurchase?

I would recommend this to you all, this color especially and I will repurchase this color. It is my all-time favorite color; works both for winter and summer.

Lush Cup O’ Coffee Face and Body Mask Review 1

Hey y’all!

Summer is a really harsh on our skin, with all that tanning and dust, you need to take extra care of your skin to deeply clean your face. A mask is a good way to do that as it cleans and refreshes your face nicely. The regular scrub is a great way to deep cleanse your skin as it cleans your pores and removes dead skin from your face. Today I will be reviewing LUSH Cup O’ Coffee face and body mask for you guys! It is both a mask and a scrub! Do you know that coffee is a really good ingredient for your face, it gently scrubs away the impurities while giving you a fresh and clean skin! I really like using this face mask because after using it, my skin actually feels and looks clean. It makes my face look awake upon using it and giving me that healthier looking skin. The coffee scrubs are not at all harsh on the skin and I never had any problem with it so far.

A little insight about the brand, Lush is a very popular brand for skin, body products as well as cosmetics. The products of LUSH are handmade and are natural products. It is very popular for its bath bombs range and every festival they come up with different smelling bath bombs. The brand has not entered in India yet, it is a famous brand everywhere in Asia and outside Asia besides India. I have used their bubblegum lip scrub and handmade banana and oatmeal mask before purchasing Cup O’ Coffee face and body mask. The brand sells a lot of things, even perfumes and makeup and all handmade. You can smell the goodness of the shop from 2 meters apart from the shop and when you enter the store it all smells so delicious.

My Experience with Lush Cup O’ Coffee Face and Body Mask

  • PACKAGING: The product comes in a black plastic container with a lid; you have to scoop out the product to apply it. The packaging of the product is very basic and nothing fancy which is good. Usually, after you finish 5 masks, you can return the containers to the shop and receive a free mask for it. The containers are reusable.
  • SMELL: The product definitely smells like coffee since that is the core ingredient. But it isn’t too strong or anything, it kind of wakes you up just like how coffee wakes you up. ;)
  • WEARABILITY: The mask goes on the skin smoothly without having to wet the area first which is anyways not supposed to be done while using this mask. It doesn’t itch or anything once applied, it is gentle on your skin.

YES YES YES I would recommend to anyone looking for a mask for tired looking skin and I would definitely repurchase this till I find something better out there.
