0.35 gms for INR 199

Company Says: - The new Eyeconic Kajal by Lakmé is literally iconic as all you need is one sweep of kajal and it lasts for 10 hours. The product is waterproof, it doesn’t smudge and it is even safe for the eyes since it is dermatologist tested.   

10 hours     No Smudge      Waterproof        Dermatologically Tested

 

Ingredients: - Not listed

My Opinion: - For me kajal is a must, I have been applying kajal on my eyes since I was hardly 15. I still do till this day. Kajal adds definition and depth to the eyes. I apply kajal on my waterline as well as I line the upper lid with it. Today I am reviewing this newly launched Lakme Eyeconic Kajal as I have used it for more than 10 days and I am happy with its performance. The packaging is sleek and it looks like a black plastic pen with a similar cap which clicks shut tight. It can be thrown into the purse without worry. And since it’s very slim and trendy, I don’t mind carrying it around with me in my purse for touch ups.

              This kajal is not very creamy and intense black as well. A couple of swipes are required to build up the intensity. But it glides on my lids without pulling or tugging. The Eyeconic kajal is matte and has no glossy effect to it. I use it as suggested by the company and truly it does not smudge on my oily lids. I have to swipe atleast twice on my lids and 3-4 times on my waterline for an intense black line. In an air-conditioned environment, it stays put for about 5 hours on my waterline and 8 hours max on my lids after which it starts to fade off a little. But in non air-conditioned environment, it fades and smudges a little on my waterline after 3 hours and simply fades off on my lids after 6 ½-7 hours. The 10 hour claim is not true.

                    The company rightly says that this kajal is smudge proof and after it sets in (after 2 mins), it cannot be smudged. But touching the eyelids with fingers can ruin and smudge the line. I have not done any eye makeup look with this kajal and I have been using it on my naked lids (powdered) and I am quite happy with the results. Since Lakme says that this kajal has been dermatologically tested so it feels safe to use it daily and with lens too (yes I am a chashmish :D). one big drawback is that the ingredients are not listed on the pack. And I don’t know what’s this fuss is all about using the Bi-phased Makeup Remover. Plain almond oil works well to remove all the traces of this kajal from my eyes. But simply washing off with water won’t help as it is truly waterproof and face washes also don’t help much.

SWIPED ONCE

Pros: -

* Claims made by the company are true- its smudge proof, its waterproof and it’s dermatologically tested.

* Affordable at Rs 199

* Available at all Lakme counters and cosmetic shops

* Packaging is slim and it looks like a pen

* Should fit into most purses, though touch-ups are not necessary

* Thanks to Lakme for the easy instructions on the back of the pack

* Glides on my lids without tugging and pulling

* Stays on for long hours

Cons: -

*10 hours claim is not true

* Ingredient list is missing

* This kajal is not intense black and its matte too; some girls/ladies might not like this

           I rate this Lakme Eyeconic Kajal 4.5 out of 5. Girls/ladies I strongly recommend this Kajal to each one of you, it’s a must try product which is very affordable and also it works so well. Kajal lovers go ahead and grab this baby right now. Another good kajal from Lakme once again :D

Hope you enjoyed my review, do leave behind your precious comments and share with us experiences with Lakme Kajals. Thank you and have a nice day :)

BEAUTYDIVA INDIA'S 2nd ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY- MY FIRST GIVEAWAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With Thermal Minerals

White Clay

250 ml for INR 105

Company Says:- Indulge yourself in the sensation of wellbeing of a thermal spa experience with Palmolive Thermal SPA Massage Body Wash. This caring formula, containing thermal minerals, white clay and massaging micro-spheres, has a gentle exfoliating action that leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and full of vitality.

Ingredients:- Water Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Butylene/Ethylene Copolymer, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, Sodium Bicarbonate,Kaolin, Hydroxypropyl Guar, Xanthan Gum, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, PEG-8, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Benzophenone-4, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, External D & C Violet No. 2 CI 60730, Brilliant Blue FCF CI 42090

My Opinion:- Body washes are a favorite with me, I tend to pick up as many as possible and use them according to my mood. I have used Oriflame as well as Avon body washes and many other brands including Lux and the rest I can’t remember right now. But the one I am reviewing today is Palmolive Thermal SPA Massage Body Wash which is a pretty blue in color. It’s a frothy runny gel kind of body wash and it has some off-white particles in it which is very fine, not at all abrasive. These grains must be the white clay, thermal minerals and massaging micro-spheres but I am not sure.

             Coming to the fragrance, the smell reminds me of the deep blue seas. The fragrance is fresh, crisp and rejuvenating. It’s nothing special but I like it. Also I sometimes relate it to the fragrance of many gents personal care product but it’s not strong. I use it with a loofah on my wet skin. I put a blob or two on the wet loofah and lather it and then use it all over my body. This body wash lathers very much and I love all the lather over myself :P It is more effective when used with a loofah but when I use it with my hands it does not lathers up and also a lot of product is required.

                  This body wash gives a clean and refreshing feeling to my skin. I cannot say a word about the terms “Thermal”, “Spa” and “Massage” but it gives a gentle exfoliation to my skin and leaves it smooth and supple. It is a body wash and its main duty is to clean and that it does without a doubt. This body wash does not leave behind any residue on my skin and wash off with minimum effort. Do not need gallons and gallons of water like many other body washes require to get off my skin. the main advantage of this body wash is that it does not dehydrated or dry out  my skin and in every season it has kept my skin soft and smooth. A huge quantity of 250 ml is cheap for the price of 100 bucks. I don’t have any complains and its scent really gives the feeling of well being and freshness.

WHITE CLAY PARTICLES

Pros: -

* Affordable and easily available

* Lathers well but its soap free

* Cleans my skin without leaving behind any residue

* Keeps my skin soft and supple

* Does not dry out my skin, not even in the cold days

* Does not need gallons of water to wash off

Cons: -

* I don’t think the term “Thermal Spa Massage” has anything to do with this body wash

* Contains SLS

              I rate this Palmolive Thermal SPA Massage Body Wash 4 out of 5. I become weak when it comes to body washes so girls please excuse my rating :P since I am being a little partial towards this body wash. It’s nothing special but it does its job well. I shall definitely purchase the other variants of this body wash.

SANTA ANA
 
Alluding to the winds that herald Autumn, ‘Santa Ana’ is a statement for
the new season. This look of effortless sophistication is inspired by the
allure of crimson on porcelain skin, underlining the feminine silhouette
surrounded by shadows and light.
 

Bold, red lips with a velvet, satin finish are like your little black dress - to
be constantly reinvented, appearing elegantly fresh. Colour Burst Lipstick
‘Raw Silence’ is offset with eyes subtly defined with the new colours of
Long-lasting Eye Shadows and cheeks blooming with the warmth of
Bronzing Glow Powder.

Hello everyone, 

I just happened to stumble upon a website where I found a review written by me but the author name (Priyanka) and pictures were different. She is such an intelligent blogger/writer that she even copied the smilies as they were. I don't know how to deal with this fraud... Please give suggestions or shall I be able to take some legal help to sue her and put a ban on her stolen blog/website????


We bloggers work very hard to write reviews and this girl has just copy pasted my review with such ease that I am not able to bear this. I request/call upon all the bloggers to check that website and find out if this priyanka whoever she may be, has by chance stolen your reviews/post which you have written after lot of hardwork. The fraud website...check it here

VERY UNFORTUNATE.......... MY FIRST BAD EXPERIENCE IN BLOGOSPHERE

ENTER MY 2nd BLOG ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY HERE
     

IMAGE TAKEN FROM GOOGLE

          After the post on CTM (DAILY CARE) FOR MATURE SKIN, today its weekly care or better still call it the weekly mini facial. So read on...

              Now coming to the weekly routine for mature skin, deep cleanse with a creamy scrub. Moisten your skin and take a blob of scrub on the palm of your hand, apply dots over face and neck and massage gently in circular motion. Keep this going for 4-5 minutes adding water if required. Wash off.

Homemade Deep Pore Cleanser:-

Yeast Powder- 2 tspn

Curd- 1 tspn

Rose Water- 1 tspn

Mix all the ingredients well and apply all over face and neck with a brush. 

 Leave it on to dry and scrub to remove after 15-20 mins, wash off with warm water. This scrub/mask removes dead skin cells, pigmentation and cleans off deep seated dirt and grime.

Correct procedure of massaging your skin helps and boosts the health of your skin thereby preventing/minimizing fine lines. Massage with off the shelf anti-ageing massage cream or make one at home.

Homemade Massage Oil:-

Olive Oil- 1 tspn

Castor Oil- 1 tspn

Jasmine/Sandalwood Oil- 2 drops

Mix well and apply all over face and neck, not forgetting the area around the eyes. Now start to massage with upward-outward strokes and concentrate on the problem areas. But remember to start with the neck upwards. Apply gentle pressure with fingertips but not with the palms of your hand.

Next use a rich creamy and moisturizing pack on your face and neck.  Use a face pack brush and not your fingers to apply the pack. Keep it on for 15-20 mins and wash off. Remember, creamy masks/pack do not dry completely. Another option is to use Honey-Lemon Pack made at home.

Honey-Lemon Moisturising Pack:-

Honey- 1 tbspn

Lemon Juice- few drops

Almond oil- 2 drops

Mix the ingredients and apply on your face and neck with a brush. Keep it on for 15 mins and wash off with warm water. This pack can be applied everyday. This pack adds radiance and glow to the skin and makes the skin’s texture fine.

While applying the pack, use chilled teabags on your eyes to de-puff and rejuvenate.

           Hope you enjoyed reading the post and thank you very much for bearing with me. And girls please share with us your beauty tips for mature skin. H ave a wonderful day :)
