My Experience with Wet n wild photofocus natural finish setting spray

Packaging-

Comes in a very handy and cute spray bottle which is absolutely handy and travel-friendly.

Fragrance-

Smells like fresh coconut water which I absolutely love.

Experience-

Makeup fixing is very important for makeup to last longer as well as the finishing touch to the makeup to leave behind excess powder on the face. I like to use it after setting my face with translucent powder as well as after applying blush and highlighter.it gives my face a dewy finish as well as it keeps my make up last longer. I personally experienced a lot of sweating during the festive season during hoping with friends and dancing and this setting spray is the absolute savior. It kept my face make up last longer like 7 to 8 hours with intense hoping under the sun after that my face tends to look oily. Then I used facial wipes to remove excess oil on my face then my face looked absolutely perfect.

Pros-
  1. Affordable
  2. Travel-friendly
  3. Make the makeup last long
  4. Gives dewy finish
Cons-
  1. Becomes oily after long wear
  2. Quantity less
Would I Repurchase or Recommend?

I would love to repurchase and also recommend it to others who are looking for setting spray to get dewy finish.

The Ordinary Mineral UV Filters SPF 15 With Antioxidants

My Experience with The ordinary mineral UV filters SPF 15 with antioxidants

Packaging:

Texture/Consistency:

it has a bit thick consistency with white colored cream like texture which is not easy with application.

Fragrance :

it has no fragrance at all

Ease of Application:

it does not spread easily on dry skin so I had to apply a good amount of moisturizer underneath this product. And one more this it can not be applied too much as is leaves a white cast.

Effectiveness:

As sun protection it does its job nicely it protects skin from UV damage and it controls sweat also.

My Experience:

I use it daily before leaving my house even in the summers I apply while I stay inside. It has really less SPF so cannot expect more. It does not make my skin look oily also controls sweat to some extent. I found it I apply this product alone it is really hard to apply and spread evenly. Another thing it leaves a white cast so I had to be very careful with the amount of application. I had to take only one tiny bit or else I look like a ghost and this obviously bothers other people also I believe.

Pros:
  1. Protects from uv rays and contains antioxidants
  2. Does not make skin oily

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

My Experience with The ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution

Packaging:

Is very basic other ordinary product which comes in a glass bottle with a dropper and it is spill proof and that makes the product travel-friendly.

Texture/Consistency:

a slimy red colored solution which actually looks like the blood which gets absorbed by the time.

Fragrance:

no fragrance at all.

My Experience:

I started using this product twice a week when I felt I have uneven skin tone and textured skin. Gradually I reduced its usage to once a week. First of all, I do not feel any slight hint of tingling sensation while it’s on my face so I can tell it is contains mild acid. After I rinse off my skin feels smoother and less textured. As it contains active acids I apply normal moisturizer or oil after that so that my skin takes time to act upon the ingredients in the peeling solution. I mainly use it at night so that my skin can rest and wake up fresh. The night I use it next day morning my skin just shines with a healthy glow.

Overall Performance of The ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution

Pros:
  1. Works on uneven skin
  2. Works on textured skin
  3. Maintains ph of 3.6

  2. Availability

Would I repurchase or Recommend?

Obviously yes. I love the brand ordinary and this product is definitely recommended for uneven and textured skin.

Price:

INR 1600m for 30 ml

Sensitivity Alert? :

No

How to Use:

Sephora Matte Perfection Foundation

My Experience with Sephora Matte Perfection Foundation

Packaging:

Sturdy plastic tube packaging which is hygienic as well as spill proof. Another thing I liked which is its size that fits perfectly in makeup pouch while travelling.

Texture/ Consistency:

A bit thick consistency but glides easily on skin

Fragrance: 

no fragrance at all

Effectiveness

My Experience first thing what I liked about this foundation is that it glides easily on skin and doesn’t look patchy at all. I have tested this foundation alone and with primer as well what I see that it stays near about 6 to 7 hours and then it starts creasing. I generally wear this foundation in my office which is fortunately air conditioned so I felt that foundation dries after sometimes as this is kind of matte finish so I had to layer a good amount of moisturiser underneath my  foundation. It gives decent coverage and the coverage is buildable as well. I tried to reapply once after 6 hours casually wiping off my face and it didn’t looked patchy at all. Apart from wearing this foundation into my office I worn this with party make up and it could hold highlighter, blush etc. nicely for a long time.

Overall Performance of Sephora Matte Perfection Foundation

Pros:
  1. Decent and build able coverage
  2. Long wearing
  3. Glides easily
  4. Doesn’t look patchy after reapplication
Cons:
  1. Expensive
  2. Only available with Sephora online and offline store

Would I repurchase or Recommend?

Obviously yes I finally found a daily wear foundation which is long wearing full coverage and gives a matte finish. Sephora is an international brand with amazing product line I am really looking forward to try their other products as well.

Rating  :4.5/5 (because of its cons)

Experience:

Honestly I don’t need anti aging products as I am on my 20s as I trust kaya also I tried their other sheet masks so I wanted to try this variant too for myself as well as on my mother’s skin . Sheet masks really help to calm and sooth your skin after a stressed day. I and my mother together applied this mask for 20 mins and then let the extra serum absorb into the skin and sleep. I must say after application my skin looked brighter and after a while the effect faded. My mother felt not much of brightening effect but some softness and suppleness instantly. It is not magic so I absolutely don’t expect a miracle to the wrinkles and blemishes which my mother is having but I feel it is a good way to pamper aged and matured skin. And for myself I don’t have matured skin but I feel always I can care before the signs of aging appears on my skin so these sheet mask variant can be a good option.

What do I like about this mask?
  1. Affordable
  2. Cute packaging
  3. Relaxing and soothing on skin
  4. Gives instant glow
  5. Parabens free
What I dislike about this mask?
  1. Nothing as such
Would I Repurchase or Recommend?

Not really for me but for my mother it is a thumb up.

Who is it for? Innisfree Aloe Revital Sleeping Pack is an overnight mask which ensures to lock up all the goodness and nourishment of toner and moisturizer all the night time regime so that you wake up with hydrated and refreshed skin.

Innisfree Aloe Revital Sleeping Pack

Price: INR 950 for 100ml
Sensitive Skin Alert?

No, avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs rinse eyes with cold water.

How to Use:

Take an appropriate amount in the last step of basic skin care in the night, apply evenly over face, avoiding the eye and lip areas, and go to sleep.

My Experience with Innisfree Aloe Revital Sleeping Pack

Packaging:

Product comes in tub packaging which is kind of disappointing for me for the hygiene factors. The tub is spill proof so it is travel-friendly.

Texture:

It has gel-like consistency which absorbs quickly

Fragrance

Very mild but chemical like the smell I am sure few people will not like the fact.

Experience:

I have combination to dry skin in winters I wanted something which really locks up the moisturizer as well as brightens up my skin so I headed towards this extra step of applying the sleeping mask. After I am done with regular CTM I apply a thin layer of this pack. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. In the morning I wake up with hydrated skin which is quite noticeable. I even tried this product alone but felt kind of drying for my winter skin also I can not give a statement about how it will act in the summers. I was really scared to layering up products on my face but surprisingly it didn’t break me out.  After using it for 1 and half month I can notice my skin to be hydrated and also I faded my pimple scars.

Positives
  1. Lightweight and absorbs quickly
  2. Hydrates and brightens up skin
  3. Doesn’t break your skin out
  4. Requires tiny amount, therefore, lasts long
Negatives
  1. Smells like chemical
  2. Not a stand-alone product requires CTM regime before applying
  3. Expensive
Would I repurchase and recommend?

I don’t think that I will buy it again solely for its fragrance.

In an entire day of work, my skin never feels lack of moisturizer though I stay mostly in AC.
