My Opinion:-
                 The summer heat is rising, the temperature is also going up. Citrusy fragrances are very refreshing and are perfect for this kind of weather. Recently I bought Avon's Senses Re-charge Deo Spray in Citrus- Fruity as I am in love with Citrusy fragrances. Its a very pleasant and breezy fragrance which would be loved by most people. But I dont think it smell like mandarin but the fragrance is very refreshing with notes of spices blended beautifully in it.

                   I have been using this deo since about a month now. It didn't irritate my skin and nor did caused any other kind of skin problem. But after waxing my underarms when I tried to use this deo, it stungs badly and I had to wash it off immediately. It is alcohol free and very cheap as well. But the only problem with this deo is its staying power, it fades off after 2 hrs. But then it does not fully evaporates off my skin, a light scent lingers on for long.

Pros:-

Citrusy fragrance

Cheap

Alcohol free

Cons:-

Staying power is bad, starts fading after 2 hrs but doesn't evaporate completely

               I rate this deo 3.75 out of 5, it is an average product from Avon. This deo spray is nothing special in it but not so bad as well. Repurchasing is out of the question but maybe I would want to try other variants, I think 2 more variants are available.

My Opinion:-

                    Since a year or so I have taken a fancy to body lotions. So I have experimented with many different brands, and liked most of them. Lately I have started using Avon skin and body products as you all might know that Avon is 1 of my fave brands. A body lotion is necessary for maintaining the moisture of the skin. During the hot days we bathe 2-3 times so the requirement of a body cannot be denied.

                   

                    My arms and legs are dry in the winters but during the summers the skin turns to kind of normal. I have by now got into this habit of applying a body lotion all over my body before retiring to bed at night, after taking a refreshing bath ofcourse. Last summer my HG body lotion was the NMFe Body Lotion but this year I have switched to Avon

                    The bottle is a combination of bright yellow and orange which I like very much. The fragrance sweet fruity but nowhere near papaya. It is a white light weight lotion with watery consistency. The texture of this lotion is thin but not runny. A little lotion goes a long way as it gets spreads easily on my skin without leaving any trace of greasiness.

                    Just 3-4 pumps are needed for the entire body so it will not finish off before 30-40 days. It moisturises my skin making it soft and silky but with the much hated oiliness. You don't have to wait for it to get absorbed for 15 mins because it blends into the skin immediately.

                   This body lotion is enriched with natural extracts of Papaya, milk and soybeans. It boosts of a lightening action of the skin which I have noticed to some extent but then it plumps up my skin and gives a healthy glow which is more important to me. Stays on all night through and in the morning I still get a little scent which is very refreshing.

Swatch

Pros:-

Non-greasy non-sticky formula

Plumps up my skin

Whitening effect on my skin

Cheap :D

Keeps my skin moisturised

Fragrance is awesome

Cons:-

Doesn't contain sun protection

Contains Paraben

               I rate this body lotion 4.25 out of 5 (-.75 because it is without sun protection). I will surely repurchase this body lotion again and again as I am in love with. But then body lotions are flings not affairs for me ;)Also I am waiting to see how it behaves in the winters of Delhi :)

10 ml for INR 198

Company Says:- Ideal for the delicate eye area! Dual action concealer containing Eyeliss to help reduce the appearance of puffiness and Eye bright, to help soften shadows under the eye. With 68% water for a refreshing effect.

To Use:- Gently dab several dots of concealer around the eye area. Using your fingertips or fine brush, softly tap concealer into desired areas.

Ingredients:- Not Listed

Available in 2 shades:-
Pink
Gold

My Opinion:- These days I wake up with tired looking eyes because of lack of sleep. I also get minor dark circles every now and then. While flipping through the pages of the Oriflame catalog, I saw the Absolute Eye Concealer and ordered both. According to me, the pink one is good for covering blueish undertones of dark circles and the gold one is for brighten up the eye area, it has yellow undertones along with a whitish cast to it.

              The packaging is very handy, comes in a small tube with pointed tip, this makes it easy to press out the required quantity of concealer. Very hygienic and also spill proof. The tube is tiny so it can be thrown into your purse easily. It is fragrance free, hence its very safe for the eyes. The texture is creamy but watery, the skin absorbs it fast. It is super blendable and I set it with translucent powder before applying my eye makeup.

               It gives sheer coverage so girls with heavy dark circles find it useless. But whenever I need a little more coverage, I top it with another concealer like Oriflame's Dual Skin Corrector or Avon's Ideal Shade Concealer Stick. Also I make sure to set it with a good quality translucent powder. The gold one has a hint of shimmer which is nearly invisible but the pink one doesn't seems to be plain.

               This Absolute Concealer for Eyes is a multi-purpose concealer. You can use it in different ways to achieve different results. If you want a glowing skin for your night out after hectic day, add a little absolute concealer with your regular foundation and glow away. In a hurry, you can use these two concealers as highlighters also; just dab gently on your cheekbones, forehead, nose and chin. Another thing I have noticed is that the concealer works as a good base for eye shadows and eye pencils, the color pops up well. Wait for it to dry for a minute or two before topping it with anything.

Swatches

              The staying power is not very nice but if you are not into the habit of touching yourself, it can stay upto 4-5 hours. After that it needs a touch up and setting with a powder. It doesn't slips off the skin but just fades away. It is a water based cream, feels very light on my skin. Regulates my oily lids, also I have a feeling that it will work very well on dry skinned girls. One more important thing I want to share with you all is that this concealer prevents creasing of eye shadows :D

Pros:-

• Good value for money as only a tiny amount is required for 1 application
• Affordable
• Multi use product
• Tiny tube is travel friendly



Swatches (Blended)

• Easy to take off, face wash and water cleans it off

Cons:-

• Staying power is less
• Gives sheer coverage, not good for heavy dark circles
• Ingredients not listed

               I rate this product 3.75 out of 5. This concealer is one of the best eye shadow base/primer I have used. Thumps up to this multi functional product, only if it could give atleast medium coverage. I have 2 tubes right now, hence I wouldn't be needing to repurchase soon.

To Use:- 

Ingredients:- 

My Opinion:- Summers call for sunblocks and till now I have never found my HG sunblock lotion :( Therefore, I keep trying different brands in the hope of getting my HG sunblock lotion. This time I tried Avon's Sun SPF 40 PA+++ Sunblock Lotion. This lotion contains SPF 40 which gives good protection and also PA+++ which also gives UVA protection. The PA rating are- PA+, PA++, PA+++ and the higher the '+' the higher is the protection from sunburn caused by UVA rays.

               The bright blue bottle is small and cute, it comes with a flip lid. It has a light texture though it is not runny or watery. But it is not thick also. It has a mild fragrance which I cant relate to anything. The fragrance doesn't stay on for long after application. The fragrance is not nauseating but I don't like it :( This lotion gets absorbed into the skin immediately without leaving the whitish cast most sunblocks do. A small blob of lotion is enough for the face and neck.

                Though this lotion is very light weight, it leaves my skin a little greasy. I have to dust my face with loose powder to decrease this oiliness but this trick doesn't work for more than an hour. Neither it broke me out nor did it irritate my skin but it made my skin a little more oilier than it used to be, during the course of its application. Another problem I had with this lotion is that it leaves my skin looking a little dark and makes me sweat more than I generally do.

Pros:-

¤ Contain SPF 40 PA+++

¤ Absorbs well into the skin

¤ Doesn't leave white cast on the skin

¤ Contains Aloe Vera

¤ I didn't broke out after using it

¤ No irritation/allergy experienced, good for sensitive skin

Cons:-

¤ 50 gms for Rs 249 is pricey

¤ Makes me sweat

¤ Not suitable for my oily skin as it adds to the greasiness

¤ Not waterproof

               I rate this product 3 out of 5. I would recommend it to girls with dry and sensitive skin. I will not repurchase this sunblock lotion again as it doesn't suit my oily skin.

Company Says:-

• Air-whipped mousse blush feels satin-soft on skin, glides on smoothly, and blends easily for seamless color and a natural finish
• Long-wearing formula provides luminous, long-lasting color on cheeks without clogging pores

For Best Results:- With your fingertips, pat a small amount of blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Use feathery strokes to blend gently from your cheekbones to your temples. To build color intensity, apply more blush.

Ingredients:-

My Opinion:-

                 This is the first blush that I am going to review on my blog as it holds a special place in my heart. We need a blush to warm up our look and define our cheekbones and to add a healthy glow to our faces. This blush has stayed with me for nearly 2 years and still its in great shape. The first thing I love about this blush is its packaging. It comes in a cute little glass jar and that's the sole reason why I purchased it. The glass jar is sturdy enough not to break when hitting the floor. The lid is the same color as the blush inside.

                When I opened the lid, I was put off by the odour of ink. Later when I applied the blusher to my skin, the odour was gone immediately. And also the smell is not unbearable, why do I need to take a whiff of everything I don't understand :P Another thing which created a problem is taking out a little blush from the tub without dipping my nails in it (I have long nails on both hands) but I fixed the problem soon. Either I use the back of a brush, a brush or a toothpick to take out the required quantity of blush from the tub.

                The blush is truly said to be air whipped and is extremely light. It doesn't feel heavy like a cream blush and blends into the skin like a dream. A little goes a long way since I need just a small quantity of blush to get the required amount of color. It is very well pigmented and is extremely buildable. This thing feels like silk when rubbed between fingers. Feels satiny to the touch after applying on my skin. This blush doesn't emphasize the dry spots (my skin turns combination during winters).

                Though the shimmer in it looks kind of cheap, it didn't break me it or caused any other skin problem. This Dream Mousse stays on my skin for about 3-3 1/2 hours in winters but in the summers it last only for 2- 2 1/2 max. Its just fades off and I have to touch up my makeup from time to time. The glitter in this blush is not very chunky and I personally don't mind wearing it during the day also. My friend suggested using this blush in a very unique way. Add a tiny amount of this Dream Mousse blush to your body lotion, apply to your arms and legs and shiny away. This will give a sexy sheen perfect for nights out or special occasions.

Pros:-

¤ Blends like a dream

¤ Buildable

¤ Affordable

¤ Cute packaging

¤ Very light weight

Cons:-

¤ Smells like ink :P

¤ Looks like the mousse is made of cheap quality (just a feeling)
¤ Comes in a jar so its difficult to take it out without dipping my nail, also I need to sanitize my hands/fingers before using this blush.

¤ All shades are not available in all places

¤ Lasting power is not good on my oily skin

                I rate this product 4 out of 5 inspite of the 5 cons. I love the color and texture of this blush and love the way it looks on my skin.

                  All of us have heard about Fashion And You, I was was invited to join it by a friend about a year or so back. Since I was not comfortable with online shopping, I never gave it a try. But on the 11th of June I made a purchase of 2 Eye Palettes and 1 Lip Palette, got the confirmation immediately. I was so happy and I waited eagerly for my goodies. Nothing happened until I received the dispatch details of my goodies on the 23 rd June, and I was told in the mail that I would receive the parcel within 2-7 days. But I didn't receive the parcel till 10th of July and hence contacted the mentioned courier company and requested them to check the tracking no given to me by Fashion and You but the responded negatively. I felt so sad and shot a mail to the support team of FnY. They helped by responding immediately and I felt as ease. Funny that I received the parcel on the 13th of July but through a different courier company and not through the 1 FNY had mentioned in their mails :P Anyways I am happy to receive my Eye palettes in perfect condition but the sad part is I didn't receive the Lip Palette :( Although FNY people say that they will refund the amount within 72 hrs as on 12th July, am still waiting for the refund. Overall a nice online shopping experience inspite of the delay and minus the Lip Palette. Maybe I will grab it next time :D Now planning to order some Nyx goodies from Urban Touch later in the day :)

A few pics of my beloved haul :D
