Plum- Rich in anti-oxidants, prevents skin damage & reduces the signs of aging

Ingredients:- D. M. Water, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Fumed Silica, Prunus Murne (Plum) Seeds, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seeds, Prunus Murne (Plum) Extracts, Punica Murne (Pomegranate) Extracts, Olive Oil PEG-7 Ester, Xanthan Gum, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan Gum), Methylchloroisothiazolinone(and)methyl isothiazolinone, 2-Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Ponceau 3R CI No. 16155, Brilliant Blue FCF CI No. 42090, Fragrance.

Results:- Reduces fine lines & combats ageing to reveal luminous skin

Direction:- Gently apply Pomegranate & Plum Energizing Skin Polisher on moistened skin with brisk circular movements on the face and neck. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use daily for younger looking & luminous skin.

My Opinion:- I don't share a good relation with scrubs. Most scrubs irritate my skin and gives a red-abused look to my face. Since scrubbing is an important step to achieving a radiant and glowing skin, I always look around for products that can help me substitute a normal scrub but still give mild exfoliation to my face. This is where a skin polisher sounds too good to be true.

                This Skin Polisher comes in tub form and the tub is made of transparent plastic. On opening the lid I found another thin plastic lid to avoid spillage/wastage. At first I was skeptical, a little worried you can say. But when I dipped my finger into the jelly-like skin polisher, I found out the granules in it are very fine. I wet my face and started massaging a small blob of the skin polisher all over my face, neck and nape. It was very gentle on my skin and there was no sign of any redness or irritation.

              My first impression on opening the lid was wow looks and smells so yummy :P Very edible indeed :D I have been using this Skin Polisher for more than 15 days now, every single day but once. It is working well for my oily skin and I haven't broken out as yet. I cannot say a word about its anti-wrinkle properties as I don't have any wrinkles/fine lines. Also my skin looks radiant and my friends ask me about the glow. This is proof enough on how much its suiting me. I am using it daily and not experiencing any dryness. My is refreshed after a wash. Its a nice product for girls like me who are sensitive to scrubs.

Very Fine Granules

Pros:-

Gives an instant polished look to the skin

The smell & color is yummmm :D (no I didn't try eating it)

Good substitute of scrubs

Very mild exfoliating, gentle on my skin

Affordable

Cons:-

Leaves behind a red-ish stain on my fingertips, though it goes away after proper washing with soap

Comes in tub form so its not hygienic, tubes are much better

              I rate this product 4.5 out of 5. Right now I am enjoying this skin polisher and I recommend it to all the girls who has problem with scrub and to the others also who needs an instant glow on their faces.

LAKME GLIDE ON EYE PENCILS- SWATCHES & REVIEW
1 Pencil for INR 275 (maybe :P)


Company Says:- Crushed gemstones sprinkled with the brilliance of precious metals.
For eyes that reflect the stars.


Available in 7 shades:-
Aqua Green
Iridescent Blue
Metallic Black
Peacock Green
Plush Purple
Smoky Green
Warm Copper

My Opinion:- Eye pencils can give a pop to the eyes in no time. A dash of color can liven up tired eyes. I love experimenting with brands and colors and I have accumulated a lot of pencils since the last 2 years. Today I am going to put forward my views on Lakme Glide On Eye Pencils, and the 2 shades I have with me are Aqua Green which is a beautiful bejeweled shade of bright teal and Smoky Green/Henna Gold which is a dark shade of forest green with gold undertones. Aqua Green is very pigment but the Smoky Green/Henna Gold is comparatively less pigmented and doesn't show up on my skin properly without a base/primer.

                     Lakme Glide On Eyeliner Pencils are very creamy and hence the tip is susceptible to breakage if not properly capped. So it needs to be capped cautiously. But sharpening the pencils is very easy and the tip don't break inside the sharpener. Also the tip comes out pointed and so drawing a fine is no problem. Since these are very creamy pencils, they dont tug or pull the eyelid while lining.

                     I use the pencils to line my upper/lower lashlines and waterline without any irritation or itching or burning sensation. I have sensitive as well as watery eyes but I didn't face any problem with the quality of these pencils. I use Glide On pencil to line my eyes and also as shadow on my lids. And I have always been happy with the results.

                   These pencils come with incredible lasting power. Once set they don't smudge, crease or budge from their place. Though they tend to fade slightly after 6-7 hours but they don't disappear completely. They don't melt with sweating or drenching as well. When used as shadow they don't crease and stays true till long hours. They stay put till I myself remove them with an eye makeup remover, face washes simply don't work on them.

                   I love the sleek packaging of the pencils and the transparent cap makes it easy to choose the wanted color. A very important thing about these pencils is that they set in very soon so you need to work fast on it to smudge it, can be a little tricky for slower girls. I have been using these for more than one and a half years now and I am totally in love with these pencils.

Pros:-

Very well pigmented

Creamy so doesn't tug or pull the eyelids

Needs sharpening, so its hygienic

After sharpening the tips comes out very pointed so its easy to draw a fine line

Affordable

Available in 7 stunning shades

Cons:-

Very creamy so tips break if not capped/uncapped with caution

                      I rate this product 4.75 out of 5. I will purchase the black and purple next, actually I am planning since long but don't know whats holding me :P

                     Hi girls, sorry for delaying this update to Wella Kolestint Color Creme. If you remember I had colored my hair on the 16th of May with Wella Kolestint Color Creme in Medium Mahagony Brown. Since I had been on vacation around the last week of May and first week of June and also because I wanted to be very sure about the after effects so I delay this post. But now I can let you all know my experience till now with the color on.

                    Condition of my hair before the coloring:- My hair needs shampoo, conditioner and a detangler/serum to be in good condition. I didnt face hair fall or dandruff but my roots are dry and my scalp is oily :P

                  Post coloring condition:- I am happy to say that there no difference in the condition of my hair except that I don't need a detangler when I use the conditioner provided in the Wella Kolestint Color Creme pack. This conditioner is awesome and I love the fragrance. The color has not faded even though my hair gets direct exposure to the sun for long hours. This is a plus point :) I have not experienced any itching or dryness which I used to experience with other hair colors.

                   Since I haven't faced any problem since the past 1 month, I am very happy with Wella Kolestint Color Creme. And also my hair remains soft and silky like before, there is no sign of any roughness as well.

                    I rate this product 4.50 out of 5 (.50 deducted because of presence of ammonia). Right now I am enjoying my richly colored hair and yes I will surely purchase it to color my hair a rich hue for the winters :)

Eva Lip Drench in Orange- Swatch, Pics & Review

9 gms for INR 20

Company Says:- Keeps your lips smooth, supple and soft

Directions:- Squeeze the tube from bottom and glide the applicator directly on lips. Apply in sufficient quantity whenever required

Caution:- For external use only

Not to be used for children under 3 years of age

Best use before 24 months from pkd

My Opinion:- Lip balm is one of the most essential item in my purse/dresser. Cant live without one, I have loads of lip balm but that doesn't keep me from buying more. The minute I see a new lip balm, I buy it. May be I am getting addicted to lip balms ;) A couple of months back when I saw Eva Lip Drench at the chemists' I bought it immediately :D

              As soon as I opened the tube omg I was in love with the fruity-orangey scent of this product. It was yum enough for me to try licking it off my lips :P but it was tasteless :( Its consistency is a little thinner than Vaseline lip balm or in that case most other lip balms. It is more like the Vaseline in the tub, spreads on my lips so well.

              It makes my lips soft and supple, keeps them well moisturised for hours. I don't need to reapply every now and then as it stays on for long. It is perfect to use under drying lipsticks. But it has no sun protection and that's the only issue I have with this lip balm.

Pros:-

Sweet orange flavour

Pretty bright orange tube

Travel-friendly, can be tossed in the tinniest of purse

Moisturises my lips and keeps them soft and supple

Cons:-

Doesnt contain SPF :(

                      I rate this lip balm 4 out 5. I will buy other flavours if they are available (I didnt see other flavours except this one). Had it contained SPF, it would have been the best in my collection of lip balms :D

                Hi girls, today I am here with a small Oriflame haul. Most of the products were on sale, so I ordered a few favs :D

                I will begin with my most used product. I use top and base coats all the time since I wear nail polish most of the time. So the Crystal Base & Top Coat is my nails best friend. The price is Rs 159, I got this one for Rs 119 :D

               I wanted sponges to apply foundation since I got bored with the Vega ones :( These are very cheap at Rs 69 but I got them for Rs 59 :D

               I was eyeing the Oriflame Beauty Absolute Concealer for eyes. I got these in both shades available- Pink & Gold. These are priced at Rs 198 each but I got these for Rs 129 each

              Also I wanted a concealer so I bought the Oriflame Beauty Dual Skin Corrector. These are priced at Rs 239, I got my one for Rs 219

               I got another concealer in pen/pencil form, Very Me Cover Up Concealer. Its priced at Rs 198, the cheapest concealer I have come across. I got discount on this one too, Rs 129 only :D

               If you want me to review these products then please do let me know. Thanks :)

            Avon always has some super duper sales going on. I like, no love Avon products and its become a monthly affair to haul some Avon products.

            We all know the value of deos in the summers. So when I saw this Avon Senses Re-charge Deo Spray Citrus Fruity for only Rs 99 though its original price is Rs 139

            I also bought the Daily Shine Dry Ends Serum because I am bored of using the Loreal Serum. So just for a change I got this one. Its pricey at Rs 429 but I got it for Rs 299

            Another sunscreen to my collection is the Avon Sun SPF 15 PA++ Dailyblock Protective Body Lotion for Rs 169 instead of its regular price of Rs 215

            I am into eye makeup in a big way these days, so I bought this Dual Ended Collection Eye Duo for Rs 229 instead of the regular Rs 299

            Another eyeshadow I ordered for is a new launch by the company and I fell for it because of the cute packaging. This Onyx Lustre Tri Eyeshadow costs Rs 399 but due to the introductory offer I got it at discount, Rs 299

             I am crazy about fairness products, so I ordered the newly introduced Avon Care Fairness Face Wash with Licorice which is only Rs 65 but I got it on offer for Rs 49

               Now a very special and important product that should be used by all girls/ladies, Simply Delicate Gentle with delicate touch PH Balanced Feminine Wash. I got it for Rs 119 though its regular price is Rs 149

                Last but not the least, the Avon rep. gave me a lip liner for free as I had complains regarding the lip liner she gave me before. Wow I love the berry shade :D

               Thank you all and hope you enjoyed reading my haul :)
