My Opinion: - I was chosen by BlogAdda to review Olay Total Effects 7 in One  Cream + Serum Duo. I received it about 10-12 days back and today I am reviewing it. I have been using Olay Total Effects 7 in One Day Cream with a touch of Foundation SPF 15 and liking it a lot, I can best describe it as a light-weight Tinted Moisturiser. So I was very enthusiastic about using this Cream + Serum. The packaging is a convenient cylindrical see through  plastic can with a black pump dispenser and a golden collar around the pump. The cap is clear plastic and it closes with a click which means it is safe to be carried around in my purse. But I would prefer a normal tube packaging over a pump dispenser as these have backfired on me :/

                         The fragrance is mild but sweet, kind of floral which I don't think will irritate sensitive noses. The texture is soft and creamy and the consistency is that of a light-weight cream. I was skeptical when I pumped out the cream for the first time, it looked very thick and heavy. But to my surprise, this Olay Cream + Serum is light on my skin and does not make my skin oily or greasy, on the contrary it gives a velvety glow to my skin. In air-conditioned environment my skin looks fresh for about 5-6 hours but in a non air-conditioned environment my skin feels a little greasy and gets shiny after about 4 hours, so I can say this cream fairs well on my oily skin. This cream + serum contains SPF 15 which is quite low but that's also an added advantage for many lazy people.

                      I wash my face with a face wash, then I use a toner and then I use this cream + serum on my face on dots, just a single pump is enough for my face and neck. I massage it gently on my skin and it easily spreads and get absorbed into my skin in a couple of minutes, this cream  serum does not sit on top of my skin. I use a foundation/bb cream on top of it after say 5 mins but at times I just wear this cream + serum alone with a light dusting of loose powder. Ofcourse I have to touch up post lunch but that's it. I sweat profusely upon applying this cream but it gets absorbed into my skin, the sweating is gone and my skin feels smooth and silky to the touch (no I am not a Narc :P and don't keep touching my face). This cream is easily to blend into the skin and one full pump is what is required for my face and neck. So I think this meager quantity of 20 gms will last me 30-40 days. The best thing about this cream + serum is that it works well as a makeup base. Foundation glides over it like a dream, blends well and gives a flawless finish. A cheap makeup base since it also minimizes the ugly pores around my nose and cheeks.

THE SWATCH- ONE PUMP ONLY

                          Now coming to its 7 claims, 1. fine lines and wrinkles- fortunately I don't have any, so comments, 2. uneven tone- not sure since I am using it since 10-12 days but surely it brightens up the skin, 3. age spots- again no comments since I do not have age spots but I have pimple marks which might fade out with regular use over a longer period of time, 4. uneven texture- gives velvety smooth skin <3, 5. dryness- works as a great moisturiser, gives the required moisture to my oily skin <3, 6. dullness- gives a radiant glow upon application <3, 7. pores- I love how it diminishes my ugly pores <3 and on top of these 7 benefits, it works very well as a makeup base/primer, it way cheaper than bases/primers and the best thing about this cream is that it didn't break me out <3<3<3





Pros:


* Affordable and Easily Available

* Fragrance is sweet and mild

* Gives required moisture to the skin

* Minimizes pores effectively

* Gives a velvety glow to the skin

* Gives a smooth and silky feel

* Brightens up the skin upon application

* A single pump is enough for my full face and neck, hence 20 gm will last me a good 30-40 days

* Works very well as a makeup base

* The packaging is much bigger compared to the contents (20 gms)

* Didn't give me breakouts :)



Cons:


* Pump dispenser might dis-function, tube packaging is more convenient

* Might not provide adequate moisture for dry skin beauties

* Contains Parabens

* SPF 15 is very low sun protection



               I rate Olay Total Effects 7 in One Cream + Serum Duo 4.25 out 5, it's a  good moisturiser and suits my skin well. Didn't break me out and I love the off-white and yellow marbleized pattern the cream and serum creates inside the see through plastic can. Recommended to beauties who appreciate a soft and smooth skin



Hope this review helped you in some and do leave behind your sweet comments and also share with us your experience with Olay products. Thank you and have a great Sunday :)

ENCHANTED JOURNEY 'ATLANTIS'

The second chapter of our Enchanted Journey draws from the graceful mystique of the lost civilization that is ‘Atlantis’. 

The look is ethereal and pure, inspired by the legendary isle that is brimming with magnificent palaces and temples, and was the domain of an ideal society. Within one fateful day and night the realm was devoured by the ocean’s gargantuan embrace, leaving only whispers of a glorious existence. 

‘Atlantis’ catches these poignant echoes and lets them flourish once more - this time by celebrating a healthy, nude look and the dewy, luminous glow of supernatural majesty.

The subtlest hints of colour bestow a healthy, nude look and wistful, mesmerising quality. The incredible light touch of Aqua Primer PRELUDE IN THE CLOUDS brings a gorgeous softness to skin, while Highlighting Liquid SEAS OF ILLUMINATION ensures a fresh radiance. These invisible wonders work hard without trace to provide an effortless beauty. Magnitude Mascara UBIQUITOUS in glistening hues of ‘Almandine’ or ‘Titanian’ give lashes an enhanced dimension and superior luminosity, while XXX Lip Plump SWELL BLISS adds resplendent volume to your enigmatic smile.

Ingredients: - Not Listed

My Opinion: - I am a fan of creme polishes but I love other finishes also. Its just that I can't resist nail polishes with creme finish. Ok today I shall be reviewing Avon Nailwear Pro in Loving Lavender which is a pale (not dull) lavender with blue undertones. It is one shade which gives a well manicured and polished look to my hands.


























                  The bottle is rectangle shaped with a black plastic cap/lid which is synonymous to most nail polishes. The smell is not too strong which I like. This shade Loving Lavender is great for everyday/office wear. It is a glossy shade but the glossy look stays on for 3 days max. After that I need to apply a top coat or better still a gloss.
























                   This shade does not fade off or becomes dull. The brush is good enough and does cover the entire nail in 3 strokes. This shade Loving Lavender needs 2 coats for full opacity but a 3rd coat adds depth and density. First coat gives a sheer coverage but second coat is enough for full opacity.
























               This shade stayed on my nails for 5 days without chipping or fading. I love this pretty shade and its apt for spring as well as summers. Its a light shade which gives my hands a polished look. Its easy to apply and easier to remove. This range of nail paints from Avon is mostly on sale so wait till one of those sales/discounts and grab your favorite shades at a much lesser price.























Pros: -


Very pretty pale (not dull) Lavender shade, rightly called 'Loving Lavender'

Perfect for everyday/office wear

Gives a well maintained and polished look to the nails

2 coats give full opacity

Smell is not very strong

Did not stain my nails or dry them out

Came out with a spring collection but apt for summers as well

Brush is good enough and does not give a streaky look


























Cons: -

Availability, can be procured through Avon Representatives only




                        I rate Avon Nailwear Pro in Loving Lavender 4.25 out of 5. Pretty Lavender shade in creme finish, total love <3 <3 Highly recommended for girls who can carry pale shades. I adore Avon Nailwear Pro range very much and have most of the shades which I shall talk about later.



Hope this review helped you in some way, please do leave behind your comments. Also do tell us about your favorite nail polish shades from Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel. Thank you and have a great day ahead :D
