My Opinion: - After all my blogger friends have reviewed the Pond's White Beauty All-in-1 BB+ Fairness Cream, I am finally here today to review it. This BB+ Cream comes in just one shade 'Natural Cover' which will not suit dusky skin tones. The packaging is very cute, a white opaque slim tube with a silver cap. Since the screw-on cap closes tight it is safe and convenient to carry it along during travels and also for touch ups. Since the tube is so slim, it fits the slimmest purse with ease. The fragrance is sweet floral, trademark of Ponds, very mild and girly kind.

                       This BB+ Cream is thickish just like foundations but its light-weight. The texture is buttery but it takes time to blend, if not properly blended it will give your face a streaky look. I feel the best way to blend it in is to use your fingertips but right now I am using Oriflame Foundation Brush as I have a number of break outs. Well it didn't irritate my skin or gave further break outs. This BB+ Cream is very creamy and "oilies" like me would need to powder their face after applying this cream but dry skin beauties will love the creaminess. They would not require a moisturiser underneath this BB+ Cream as it itself is quite moisturising especially in the summer time. But in the dry winters definitely a moisturiser beneath this BB+ Cream would be a better idea.

                     




















                        This BB+ Cream gives an even look to my skin and the light under-eye circles are covered well. The coverage is sheer but can be built up to medium if required. It does not cover spots and other flaws but lightens them or you can say blurs them out. This BB+ Cream gives an artificial white cast immediately upon application which goes off in 5+ mins. The only shade Natural Cover would not suit dusky Indian Beauties, which is a big shame on Ponds. The BB+ Cream stays on for the entire day on my skin but it does make my t-zone shiny. I have to touch up with a compact/loose powder every 4 hours if I am in an air-conditioned environment and every 2+ hours if I am in a non air-conditioned environment.

 This BB+ Cream gives fresh and even look to my skin. It conceals the redness around my nose and of my pimples. I have minor flaws and it hides them with ease, but I don't think this BB+ Cream will be able to hide dark spots or major flaws & imperfections. It gives a semi-matte kind of dewy look to the skin which looks very natural. But later on it becomes a little shiny/greasy and I have to dust my skin with a good powder. Even though it gives a whitish cast for the first few minutes upon application, later on it adapts to the my natural skin tone. This only shade 'Natural Cover' will suit fair to medium skin tones but dusky beauties will get a grey look. It is my go to product this week.

SWATCH- BLENDED

                     






















Pros:

* Easily Available and Affordable

* Sweet and mild Ponds trademark fragrance

* Evens out the skin tone and covers up
light under-eye circles

* Gives natural semi-matte glow to the skin

* Does not irritate my break outs in any way

* Gives a fresh and even look to my face

* Contains Ginger Root Extract known for its anti-ageing & wrinkle preventing properties

* Contains SPF 30 PA++, the highest among all the BB Creams

Cons:


* Only 1 shade available, not suitable for dusky skin tones

* Gives an artificial whitish cast which disappears after 5-7 mins, that's because of the SPF 30

* Does not cover major spots and flaws but they look lighter

* Needs proper & fast blending or it gives a streaky look




                 I rate Ponds White Beauty All-In-One BB+Cream with SPF 30 PA++ 4.25 and let me tell you this BB+ Cream is not even near our much loved Pond's Tinted Moisturiser. As for me I do not need too much coverage on a daily basis. It's a must try for college girls and office goers as it can give a fresh & even look without heavy coverage. But then the blending takes a little practice and patience. Nice BB Cream but nothing in comparison to the beloved TM.


Hope this review helped you in some way and do leave behind your sweet comments and also share with us your experience with Pond's BB Cream. Thank you and have a rocking weekend ahead :)

Ingredients:- Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerine, Ethylexyl Methoxycinnamate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Niacinamide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Titanium Dioxide/Alumina/Methicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Potassium Chloride, Titanium Dioxide/Dimethicone, Caprylyl Methicone, Mica/Titanium Dioxide, Magnesium Sulfate, Parfum, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Stearic Acid, Cholestrol, DMDM Hydantoin, Sucrose Distearate, Isomerized Linoleic Acid, Acetamide MEA, Disodium EDTA, Ammonium Lactate, Retinyl Palmitate, Cetyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, BHT, CI 17200

My Opinion:-
My skin is oily but turns combination in winters. So I decided to use Pond's Age Miracle Resurfacing Day Cream as I heard rave reviews about it. All fellow bloggers said its good for combination/oily skin, hence the purchase. So here are my views on this amazing cream. Now I have been using it for more than 45 days so thought of reviewing this cream

The packaging is very cute but impractical. The tub is made of sturdy glass in the shape of a tear drop. It has a screw on red lid which makes the jar/tub attractive. A white plastic protective lid can be found when main screw on lid is taken off. This cream comes boxed in a red & silver carton. The packaging is good for travelling but its quite heavy as its made of thick glass. The fragrance seems fruity but at times it seems floral as well :P

The texture is thick creamy but light instead of rich. Its a very pale pink cream with extremely fine shimmer in it which makes the skin glow. This cream gets absorbed easily and fast. Just a few tiny dots on my face and neck is enough for complete coverage. It gives a powdery matte finish to my skin. I use it after cleansing each morning and I am good to go as it also contains SPF.

I have at times topped it with foundation and it has always made my foundation stay longer. This cream shocked me when it made my skin matte and kept greasiness at bay for a good 3 hours. After that it was non-matte but still not greasy. Upon application this cream instantly whitens my skin, fades off spot thereby making my skin even and radiant. I am 24 and I don't have wrinkles so I can't comment on the effectiveness of it against fine lines/wrinkles/age-spots.

I am using it as a moisturiser and not as an anti-ageing cream. This cream will unfortunately not suit dry skin as it has this mattifying effect on the skin. Though I didn't use it in the peak of summers, I don't know how it will fare with my oily skin at that time. But I have found a great moisturiser for the rest of the year. The only problem with this cream is that the packaging is cute but impractical because cream is stuck to the inner corner/rim of the jar and only a q-tip can remove it.

Pros:-
* Doesn't make my skin greasy
* Well priced, affordable
* Makes the skin instantly fair and gives a nice glow
* Works great as a primer, holds foundations & blush for a long time
* Suitable for combination & oily skin

Cons:-
* Not suitable for dry skin as the company says ''Suits all skin types''
* Product gets stuck at the inner rim of jar which is difficult to remove
* Though the packaging is cute yet I would prefer a tube instead as I hate to dig my nails into the jar every morning (I have long Nails)

I rate this Pond's Age Miracle Daily Resurfacing Cream 4.5 out of 5. Works well as a moisturiser and also as a primer and to top it all, its my first anti-ageing cream after the Pond's TM. I am happy with the results and I have already bought another jar as I have hit bottom of this jar as you can see. Thanks and have a great day :)

POND'S DAILY FACE WASH- REVIEW

Active Cleansing System

50 gms for INR 35

Company Says:- The first step to facial care for soft, smooth skin. For clean and soft skin that glows. Suitable for normal, dry, oily and combination skin types.

How it works:-

* Thoroughly cleanses without leaving slippery feeling on skin

* Cleans skin. 100% soap free** formula with rich lathe penetrates and removes deep rooted dirt, leaving your skin cleaner and smoother

* Gentle on skin. Active Cleansing System cleans gently and cares for your skin better than soap

Results:- Clean, soft, glowing skin

Usage:- Splash face with water and apply face-wash on face and neck. Rinse off. Pat dry. If face-wash gets into your eyes, rinse well with water.

** Soap free washing preparation with organic surface active agents.

Ingredients:- Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide MEA, Perfume, Sodium, Carboxymethyl Cellolose, Titanium Dioxide, Methyl Paraben, Dimethiconol n TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, DMDM Hydantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propyl Paraben, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, BHT, Tetrasodium EDTA, Glycol Distearate

My Opinion:- The fragrance is so refreshing and mild like all other Pond's Face Washes. Because of this shivering cold my skin has turned from oily to combination type. This face-wash sounded good- 100% soap free, contain Glycerin and Vitamin E. It foams slightly and doesn't give a very rich lather. I wet my face and take a tiny blob of the face wash on my palm, add a few drops of water, foam it and apply it to my face and neck. It cleans off all makeup and also kajal (except Lakme Satin Kajal) very gently and leaves behind that mild scent identifies to Pond's. And on top of it I haven't broken out and also my T-zone doesn't become oilier or greasier.

                It consistency is that of a milky white gel and a little goes a long way. It gives my skin the claimed softness and smoothness and also the said glow- an added bonus. It removes eye/lip makeup without much effort and it has not been harsh on my skin. But I think this product will not work for my oily skin in the summers but for this winters its doing great. The packaging is pretty in white and leaf green, also the price is too good.

Pros:- 100% soap free, gentle on my skin, cheap, effective, does what it claims

Cons:- Contains Paraben

                I rate this product 4.5 out of 5. I am loving it right now and planning to use it all through the winters. Recommended for girls with dry skin.

POND's WHITE BEAUTY Daily Spot-less Lightening Cream- REVIEW

50 gms For INR 150

Company Says:- Deeply nourishes skin to a radiant daily spotless. Finally, a lightening moisturiser that goes well beyond just whitening your skin. With new Pond's white beauty, see your skin visibly transformed to a radiant daily spotless. It gently evens out skin tone as it works from within to nourish your skin, leaving it instantly brighter, softer and more radiant. It's triple sun spot-less complexion is here to stay!

How to enjoy better whitening results:- Use every morning and evening as part of your Pond's white beauty skin care regime. Apply with fingertips, smoothing evenly onto clean skin over face and neck. Massage lightly until completely absorbed. Store away from direct sunlight and heat.

Ingredients: Water, Stearic Acid n Palmitic Acid, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Glycerin, Titanium Dioxide n Aluminium Hydrpxide n Stearic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Provitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Provitamin E), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Provitamin B6), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Allantoin, Isopropyl Myristate, Potassium Hydroxide, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate n Zea Mays (Corn) Starch n Lycopene n Glucose n Sodium Ascorbate n Tocopherol, Fragrance, CI 14700.

 
My Opinion:- My first reaction on opening the lid of this cream was 'WOW'. It is very sweetly scented though very mild and the color is a lovely whitish pink. The consistency is like that of mousse and actually looks like it. At first application I was happy because it spreads so well all over my face and neck. It absorbed all the oil from my face and kept it matte- looking for a good 3 hours. The company claims to lighten the skin tone and resolve spots but it did nothing of this sort for me. 
             But it has added a radiant glow to my face and gives me temporary relief from oiliness. It didn't dry out my skin and I am using it during these cold days also. At my moms instance I have started using it in a very innovative way. I mix a little foundation to a little amount of this cream and apply it on my face and neck. The result is amazing- a sexy glow without the oiliness plus a little coverage :D What more can I ask?? I haven't broken out after particularly using this cream.

Pros:- Affordable, pretty packaging, suits oily skin, mildly fragrant, UV protection

Cons:- Not suitable for dry skin, no label regarding skin type, spot removal claim seems to be false.

I rate this product 4 out of 5 and I am using my second tub right now which is about to finish. I recommend it to everyone with oily skin since it absorbs oiliness from the face.

Pond's WHITE BEAUTY

Daily Spot-less Lightening Facial Foam- REVIEW

50 gms for INR 60

Company Says:- Cleanses deeply for glowing and brighter skin. This gentle foam deeply cleanses and brightens skin, transforming your complexion to a radiant look you have always wanted. The foams unique formula reduces dullness and brightens skin, while washing away old and weary, sallow skin cells. Skin feels soft, smooth and sparkling clean.

How to enjoy visible lightening results:- Wet your face. Apply to face and neck and gently massage. Rinse off.

Ingredients:- Myristic Acid, Gylcerin, Water, Propylene Glycol, Potassium Hydroxide, Palmitic Acid n Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Glycol Distearate, Decyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyquaternium-7, Niacinamide, DMDM Hydantoin n Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Perfume, Disodium Edta.

My Opinion:- I like foaming face washes and this one foams well. The mild and feminine fragrance is a plus point and very refreshing as well. I personally foam it on my palm and then apply on to my wet face and neck. A very little (read tiny blob) is enough to remove all dirt, grime and makeup from my face. It doesn't remove kajal from my eyes and also my eyes stings like hell supposedly it goes into them- why cant these cosmetic companies make face washes that don't irritate your eyes :(

           All traces of makeup is gone in a single wash, this product washes off the oil from the skin surface. It is very gentle and my skin feels fresh and the dullness is gone after a wash. Of-course I cannot say anything about the radiant and sparkling skin claims of the company. It can be drying for the dry skinners but is good for the oily skinners like me. The oil returns after 1- 1 1/2 hours and that is not bad considering the price of this face wash.

Pros:- Its cheap, can be carried around in your purse easily, mildly perfumed, good for oily skin, a tiny bit is enough so will go on for a couple of months, the packaging is pretty.

Cons:- Company says nothing about which skin type this face wash would suit.

             I rate this product 4 out of 5 and I would surely recommend it to everyone with oily skin. I am happy with my Oriflame Aloe Face Wash so I wouldn't need this one.

**I got this Face Wash in a combo pack with Pond's WHITE BEAUTY Daily Spotless Lightening Cream with Pro-vitamin B3, for an amount of INR 185**

        

I was out with friends this evening and enjoying myself but something was missing. Then suddenly I figured out that I had not shopped for quite sometimes now due to my tight schedule.

I couldn't even think of any particular thing I needed right now. So aimlessly I headed towards a beauty store and ended up purchasing these products for INR 515.

Since I am crazy about fairness and stop removal these days so I bought this Pond's white beauty (special offer pack) for 185 INR


I am badly into lip balms and as soon as the SA suggested me to try out the Vlcc lip shield I agreed to her and bought it for some 85 INR.

I really needed an under eye cream so when I inquired about one, the SA presented me with a Vlcc under eye cream. I paid around 150 INR for it.

Nail polishes are a weakness :D so had to buy atleast one. After a lot of careful searching I fell for a Lotus nail polish, 94 Cozy Mulberry for INR 95.

And as I was searching for nude nail colors and couldn't find one, the manager was kind enough to gift me with a nude color from Streetwear, Barely nude for INR 45, I got it free though :D

So thats it and I will be back soon with the reviews. Wishing all my dear readers, followers and well wishers a very very happy and joyous Diwali and Dhanteras.
