No, no… Being a long lasting lip color is not only the special thing about it; it’s a 2-step process if you want that ultra glossy, smooth and shiny lips. One side contains the lip gloss applicator while the other side has a lip balm to seal in the color.  This further maintains the pigmentation of your lips and keeps them hydrated throughout the day. No transfer, no fading and it does not bleed.

The Perfect Haircut for Every Face Shape

by Aayushi Jain

The Perfect Haircut for Every Face Shape : Tired of same old boring haircut- are you? Well, well, why don’t try these amazing hairstyles for your next visit to the salons?But first thing first, do you know what is you’re the best hairstyle according to your face shape? Umm… no idea, right? I can help you in this. But first let me tell you different face shapes and the celebrities on whom these hairstyles have worked very well.

The Perfect Haircut for Every Face Shape 11

Different Face Shapes:

What happens with most of us is, we believe that there are like two shapes that are oval and round. You need to pump up your knowledge about the different angles and face cuts that totally transform your face shape.

  1. Oval: The length of the face is more than the width of the face. The forehead is wider than the chin too. Ex- Jessica Alba

  2. Round: The length and width of the face is equal with proper round cheeks. Ex- Mila Kunis

  3. Heart: The jaw line is narrow as compared to forehead which is quite broad. The cheekbones are also wider. Ex- Scarlett Johansson

There is one more thing which needs to be taken into consideration before you finalize your hairstyle. And that is the type of hair. Have a look!

  • Thick Hair: Always go for layered cut and never ever become bait for short hair cuts.
  • Thin Hair: Thin hair looks like as if less in quantity. Therefore, always have layered haircut; no matter short or long length, just layered.
  • Curly Hair: To remove the heaviness in your hair, always get a layered hair cut. You need to part your hair on the longer side so that the hair will look flat on the temple.
  • Straight Hair: You are lucky; Get front short bangs if you can pull them off easily. Leave the rest of the hair with layers or steps.

  1. Oval: Girls! You are luckiest of all these shapes. You can carry any haircut; be it short, medium or long. The idea is to enhance the oval shape of your face.

Lakmé 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation 1

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation Review

by Aayushi Jain

Who is it for?Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation is a weightless foundation that’s not heavy and lasts longer.I know you all must be tired of applying heavy foundation for your daily work routine or rendezvous; and if you are REALLY tired, then don’t miss this foundation. I can bet my life on the quality of this product. ;)

Lakmé 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation 1

Price

Rs 575 for 29gms

If you have a dry skin, then you will have to put some moisturizer before its application.

My experience with Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation

Lakmé 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation 2

First of all, I loved the peach colored tube and rose gold closure. Kudos to packaging! Secondly, the needle-like hole curbs wastage of the product. Moreover, the brand’s claims are not at all wrong because it really blends effortlessly onto your skin and is weightless. The fragrance is good and the foundation lasts all day long.

The only thing I didn’t like is that if you have a dry skin, you will have to apply some moisturizer before. Moreover, they do not have a wide range of the shades; just 4.

Lakmé 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation 3

 Positives
  1. Truly weightless
  2. Easy to apply and blend
  3. Great fragrance
  4. Long lasting
  5. Attractive packaging
       Negatives
  1. Not suitable for dry skin, need some moisturizer before
  2. Less range of shades
Would I recommend and repurchase it?

Definitely; I have grown fond of this foundation and would surely recommend and repurchase it.

Sugar Smudge Me Not Bare Flair Liquid Lipstick

Who is it for? Sugar Smudge Me Not Bare Flair is for those looking for a nude liquid lipstick that will suit Indian skin tones.

Sugar Smudge Me Not Bare Flair Liquid Lipstick 1

Price: Rs 499

My Experience with Sugar Smudge Me Not Bare Flair Liquid Lipstick

Packaging: 

The lipstick comes in a small green-colored cardboard box. This packaging is different from the early range of Smudge-Me-Not. I will say, the packaging is decent and attractive. The brush provided is also easy-to-use.

Texture:

The texture of the lipstick is non-creamy and settles into a matte finish. It also does not dry out the lips. The color also does not transfer.

Shade:

The shade is nude pink and has brown undertones. Also, the shade is a dupe for Kylie Candy K.

Staying Power: 

The stay of this lipstick is pretty good. I applied it in the morning and after lunch, the lip color faded from the inside part only. It stayed for a good period of 4-5 hours.  

Experience: 

The color quality is good and staying power is satisfactory. I liked the shade personally because I had been looking for a similar shade. The pigmentation is also good and lips do not get dry.

However, the color gets collected after one hour of eating something or even after reapplying the lipstick.  As claimed by Sugar Cosmetics, it is not coffee or date-proof. Agreed that it not at all transfers, it does get faded completely after eating something from in between the lips. Also, as claimed that it stays till night is also completely wrong because it stays for maximum 4-5 hours if you eat anything and 6 hours if you do not.

One more thing, the neck of the bottle is very narrow, every time I open the bottle I feel like the sponge of the brush will detach because it gets stuck in the neck.

Sugar Smudge Me Not Bare Flair Liquid Lipstick 3

I personally loved the shade and quality of the lip color. The stay is good and pigmentation brilliant. Moreover, it is a pure dupe of Kylie Candy K.

Pros:
  1. Attractive packaging
  2. Gorgeous shade
  3. Affordable
  4. Good staying power
  5. Good pigmentation
  6. Non-drying
  7. Soft and smooth texture
  8. Matte effect
  9. Perfect dupe for Kylie Candy K
Cons:
  1. Gets collected
  2. Not food-proof
  3. Bottleneck is narrow
  4. Contains Paraben
Would I repurchase or recommend it to you?

Yes, I may repurchase another shade from the same range. And I believe you should really try this range because the colors are irresistible.

Patisserie De Bain Cranberries & Cream Hand Cream 4

Who is it for? Patisserie De Bain Cranberries & Cream Hand Cream is for those looking for a fruity smelling hand cream.

Patisserie De Bain Cranberries & Cream Hand Cream 1

Price: Rs 475

Net Weight: 50ml

 

How to Use?
  1. Flip the lid of this handy tube and squeeze out a dash of the nourishing glycerin rich hand cream.
  2. Massage gently into your hands paying special attention to dry patches such as knuckles, in between fingers and cuticles.

My Experience with Patisserie De Bain Cranberries & Cream Hand Cream

Packaging: 

The packaging is super adorable in a cream and pink dotted tube with white flip open cap. The tube is handy and travel-friendly. You can even take it around the world with yourself.

 

Fragrance: 

The fragrance is drool-worthy and irresistible. I love cranberries and to get its fragrance infused in a cream is a gift in disguise. The fragrance stays even after doing a lot of household or regular chores. It completely fades away after 3-4 hours.

Texture:

The texture is thick and creamy. The cream is peach white in color. It is very easy to apply on your hands but because it is thick in nature you might need to use it in more quantity. Otherwise, the cream is great to use every day.

Experience:

I totally adore the fragrance and can’t stop smelling them after every 10 minutes. In fact, I run to every other person at my home and ask them to smell my hands. Silly, I know! But the infused scents are so yummy; you will actually want to eat your hands. The glycerin and Chantilly cream keeps your hands soft and moisturized throughout the day. Keeping in mind our daily requirement, you will need to apply this cream twice a day only, depending upon your senses if they can resist the fragrance!

Patisserie De Bain Cranberries & Cream Hand Cream 4

Pros: 
  1. Affordable
  2. Irresistible cranberry fragrance
  3. Long staying power
  4. Adorable packaging
  5. Keeps hands soft and moisturized
  6. Suitable for all skin types
  7. Contains Castor Oil which is good for skin
  8. No added Parabens
Cons:
  1. Less quantity as compared to the price.
Would I repurchase or recommend it to you?

I cannot resist something having cranberries, which is why I purchased hand cream and shower gel made with cranberries. Yes, I am going to repurchase this hand cream again and would love if you guys also consider it to purchase.

Neem Oil Benefits for Skin 3

Neem Oil Benefits for Skin

by Aayushi Jain

Neem oil is a traditional remedy of India; our ancestors had discovered new uses of neem every now and then. It is easy to avail and is considered one of the best home remedies for the treatment of acne, pimples, and other skin related problems. While neem leaves are considered the best way to get best results; one can opt for neem oil too which is easily available in the market. Also, you can always make neem oil at home too if you do not trust branded herbal products.

Neem Oil Benefits for Skin

Image Credit: Eco Watch

DIY: Neem Extract at Home

Step1: Add 1-liter water to 20gm leaves.

Step2: Let them soak overnight.

Step3: Now, grind the mixture and strain the excess part.

Now that you have your own home-made neem oil, you just have to know how beneficial it is for your skin.

Note: fights you can also purchase cold pressed Neem oil Available in the market. That oil is derived from seeds.

Top 7 benefits of neem oil for a beautiful glowing skin:

Ameliorates acne-prone skin:

Neem contains anti-bacterial qualities fight the over-productive growth of bacteria in the skin due to regular acne. It is anti-inflammatory and lessens redness and itchiness over the skin, be it face or any other body part. You can even use it as a face mask, though it can become difficult to tolerate sometimes. But yes, in the end, it will give you a beautiful unblemished skin which is worth all this.

Ageing defender:

One cannot obviously stop aging but we can control its side effects. And neem oil is here to save the day for every woman who is fed up with wrinkles and stubborn dark spots. Neem contains a high level of anti-oxidants and essential nutrients like Vitamin E and fatty acids. When these three are merged together, they lessen the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. They mix together and bring back that youthful glow to your skin that you lost and reimage the damaged skin.

Fights against dry skin:

We think that dry skin is not that big issue but many people do not know that regular dry skin can soon attract infections and allergies. Therefore, neem oil can be used as a conditioner for your dry skin because of its anti-oxidant qualities. The herbal moisturizing texture of neem oil improves the extreme dry parts like hand and feet and provides an even toned skin.

Fights allergies like Eczema and Psoriasis:

Both of these allergies cannot be cured by neem oil but it can ease excessive inflammation and itchiness. Moreover, it moisturizes and softens the skin, thus, does not let the skin to dry a lot. The allergic people know very well that how itchy these allergies can become, leading to cuts and bleeding which will further attract germs. That is why neem oil is best to use to prevent these symptoms from increasing.

Fights fungal infections:

While neem only prevents allergic symptoms, it cures fungal infections like ringworm, nail fungus or athlete’s foot. Neem has anti-fungal agents which makes it a better option than those creams that are widely available in the market. Neem leaves contain certain compounds that effectively destroy the fungi responsible for these infections.

Best sunscreen for your skin:

We know that ultraviolet sunrays are harmful to our skin and now that it is summer, our work is inevitable. But of course, we cannot let our skin get affected. To overcome this, neem oil again comes to the rescue. Exposure to the sun can lead to several skin diseases and even cancer. For this, neem oil can be used every day post-exposure. All of its nutrients like anti-oxidants, fatty acids, and Vitamin E work together to regain the original skin.

Pigmentation killer:

Melanin is the skin coloring agent responsible for balancing your skin tone. If it is secreted in higher amounts, it leads to pigmentation. Skin color, thus, becomes uneven. To control this, neem oil should be used regularly to balance the skin tone again, therefore, imparting fairness back to the skin.

Apart from these, neem oil has other benefits too. It is famously used for oiling hair. It reduces and prevents every hair problem you can think of. It prevents dandruff and split ends. If you are not able to find any solution to get rid of head lice, then neem oil will be your savior. Not only these, it also promotes hair growth leading to healthy looking hair.

I have given you the essential benefits of neem oil with details; this, for sure, is the best among other herbal products for skin treatment. Let me know if you have ever used neem in any form in the comments section.

Patanjali Saundarya Body Lotion

Patanjali Saundarya Body Lotion Review

by Aayushi Jain

Who is it for? Patanjali Saundarya Body Lotion is for people who have regular dry skin like me, even in summers; this is the right product for you. Don’t believe me? Read further.

Price: Rs 100 for 100ml
How to use?

Apply a small amount of lotion on the dry part of your body and rub along. You may use it according to your need or twice a day.

Patanjali Saundarya Body Lotion

My Experience with Patanjali Saundarya Body Lotion

Packaging:

The bottle comes in easy to grab and easy to use shape with a flip open cap above which controls wastage. The bottle is travel-friendly too. All in all, I loved its packaging.

Texture:

The lotion is creamy white in texture and blends easily on to your skin. Unlike some lotions which are thick and do not spread easily, this body lotion by Patanjali spreads smoothly.

Experience:

After the bath, my skin gets completely dry and patchy be it winters or summers. This is why I always apply moisturizers to keep my skin nourished. This body lotion comes in small quantity every time you press the bottle. The formula is extremely lightweight and does not feel sticky or greasy at all. After 4-5 hours, you will need to re-apply it. But for those 4-5 hours, you will not feel any dryness on your skin. Talking about the fragrance; it has very mild flowery fragrance and will not be a problem for people who are allergic to strong fragrances.

Overall Performance of Patanjali Saundarya Body Lotion

The lotion worked better than the previous one for me. It is perfect for those having dry skin. But people with oily skin, I will advise you not to buy this product. The best thing about it is, it’s natural and won’t harm your skin in any way.

What I liked ?
  • Contains natural substances like Aloe Vera, coconut oil, almond oil, wheat germ oil, cucumber and turmeric extracts and kesar
  • Travel-friendly packaging
  • Suitable for only normal and dry skins
  • Has a very mild flowery fragrance
  • Moisturizes rejuvenates and nourishes the skin without making your skin sticky or greasy
  • Easily to avail
  • Affordable
What I did not Like?
  • Not any
Would I Repurchase/Recommend?

Yes, I will definitely repurchase this body lotion by Patanjali.

L’Oreal Paris Smooth Intense Smoothing Conditioner 4

Hello beauties, diving into the Loreal Conditioner specifically the Loreal Smooth Intense!

Wedding season along with winter season is almost over. Flaunting your long hair with beautiful jaw-dropping hairstyles- we all did it during weddings. But continuous usage of hot rollers and hair straighteners damage your hair. And the biggest issue that comes side by side is frizzy, unmanageable and dry hair. Worst case: HAIRFALL! *Sigh*

I mean who doesn’t want long manageable beautiful hair? To get my shed hair back, I put my faith on L’Oreal Paris. Let us see how it worked for me.

L’Oreal Paris Smooth Intense Smoothing Conditioner 1

Basic info about Loreal Conditioner | Loreal Smooth Intense

Price: Rs 170 for 175ml

Ingredients:

L’Oreal Paris Smooth Intense Smoothing Conditioner

Brand Claims: The L’Oreal laboratories have developed SMOOTH INTENSE Smoothing Conditioner to provide deep nourishment and protection for intense smoothing.

INNOVATION: Silk Protein

L’Oreal Paris Smooth Intense Smoothing Conditioner 3

How to use?

After washing your hair with shampoo, take a small amount of conditioner or as required and gently massage your hair. After leaving for 3-4 minutes, wash your hair again.

My experience with Loreal Conditioner | Loreal Smooth Intense

Texture: The texture is very thick and creamy, therefore, easy to apply to your hair.

Fragrance: The fragrance is neither too strong nor too light. I loved the fragrance.

Experience: My hair was super dry and unmanageable for 1 week, no matter how good the shampoos or conditioners were. So I gave a chance to L’Oreal. I hate myself for doing this. *Frowning*

The first day– I was so happy with the effect it had on my hair. No tangled hair, smooth and soft blah blah blah! Everything went well but not until the second day…

The second day – They were still amazing till afternoon. Later I saw that my temple hair was a little bit oily. I have a tendency to wash my hair a day before the day I have to go somewhere. But heaven save me! That day I had to wash my hair again to get rid of those oily hairs.

Still, I continued to use it for one more week just to check if the problem persists. I am glad that this conditioner didn’t let me down. I faced the problem again. Finally, I had to change my conditioner. Duh!

L’Oreal Paris Smooth Intense Smoothing Conditioner 2

Overall performance of Loreal Conditioner | Loreal Smooth Intense

Whatever they claimed attracted me and that’s why I bought this conditioner. Yes, their claims were true and my hairs were super good the first day, but by the end of the second day my hair became oily; maybe because of its too much creamy texture.

Would I recommend/repurchase it?

No and again no. I didn’t like this product. I love the texture of my hair and would do anything to maintain them. And I am sure you all too.

Overall Performance by Colourpop Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Mixed Lip Collection

When I used Bad Habit for the first time, I was so shocked that it is not a bit like old matte liquid lipsticks. It is just easy to apply the color with no need of a primer.

I have Bumble from Colourpop and it gets dry many times, which is why I have to use a primer. But this didn’t happen with Bad Habit.

Pros:

  • Eye-catchy packaging
  • Non-drying
  • Lovely berry pink shade
  • Highly pigmented
  • 3 in 1
  • Keeps your lips moisturized all day
  • Long stay
  • Does not transfer

Cons:

  • Might be a little expensive for some people because after customs duties and shipping charges, the price increases.

Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes, yes, and a thrice yes. I just loved this lip bundle and will recommend you to purchase this.  I have this ‘paisa vasool’ feeling after using it. I don’t think this shade will finish soon; I’ve got 3. So yeah, I will repurchase but not so soon.
