My Take on Lacto Calamine Aloe Moisturiser:

The moisturiser comes in a Simple boring green colored bottle, there is nothing great or attractive about it. But the packaging is sturdy and preety much safe to keep in your handbag.

Amway Attitude lipstick in Red Coral ~ Review and Swatches

4 comments
Hello Girls :)
 

Few days back i saw a lipstick in my MIL'S dressing area , as usual i picked it with thought of swatching it, when i opened the lipstick i saw that it was almost over. But still i loved the color and tried to apply it with a lipstick brush.... and u wont believe i just loved the color . its a very nice red color, actually its a everyday red color, as the name says coral red which means not a dark, traditional red. This is a perfect red for those who are afraid of wearing red.


Product Description:

With premium ingredients like Vitamin E, Almond oil, Jojoba oil, in order to provide a rich moisturizing effect to your lips, lips appear full with creamy matt finish.
In addition these are enriched with sunscreen agents to protect lips against harmful UV rays of sun.

My take on Amway Attitude Red Coral Lipstick:

I quite liked the lipstick,the texture of lipstick is smooth and creamy, it glides on lips very easily. The lipstick is nicely pigmented and stays for good 3 to 3.5 hours. As i said earlier i shade is very nice, its a coral red shade which can be worn everyday with any sort of dress. I am definately going to buy this shade for myself. :)

Pros:
Smooth and creamy texture.
Good staying power
Nicely pigmented
Sturdy Packaging


Cons:
 I need to find a amway representative to buy this.

 * The shade is more of red, camera could not capture the exact shade.
RATING:4/5

Enliven Pro-Vitamin Ultra Hold Mousse ~ Reivew & Swatches

2 comments
Hello girls,

Today i am reviewing Enliven Ultra Hold hair Mousse. Many of you might not be familiar with this product, so here is some information about what hair mousse is and what it does: 

A hair mouse is a hair styling product that is especially meant to add definition to the hair curls or hair perm.It is used by people who have short or long hair styles. A hair mousse is preferred over a hair styling gel as it can be combed down easily. So, a hard look can be converted into a soft, more natural look within a matter of minutes. Its versatile nature is what makes it perfect for everyday use.

A hair mousse while inside the container is in the form of a compressed liquid and when dispensed it comes out in the foam form. The foam can easily be spread out and hence the product never gets built up and never has any clumps.

People with dry hair should not use hair mousse that contains alcohol as it dries up the hair even more.Instead, they should use mousse that contains vitamins and natural conditioners.

Product Description : Enliven – Pro-V Ultra Hold Mousse
Enliven Ultra Hold Mousse contains Amino Pro-Vitamin B5 to help replace lost Amino Acids found naturally in the hair, helping to strengthen and maintain healthier hair. Suitable for all hair types.

How to use:
Take a golf ball size of foam in you palm and apply on the damp or towel dried hair before styling and blow drying. Quantity of the product taken can be altered as per the length and volume of hair.

My Take On Enliven Pro-V Ultra Hold Mousse:

By now i have used this product for 7-8 times and i quite liked it. I just love how it adds volume and texture to my hair, my hair look more defined when i use this mousse.

I apply the mousse even on my almost straight hairs (i have got done smoothing on my hair) and what i feel is that my hair look more on the straightened side when i apply this.

It gives a soft look to the hairs unlike those gels, It gives a nice bounce to the hair. I don't use it on regular basis, as it might be drying if used too much.

Pros:
Available online
Adds texture to the hair
Very much Affordable
Curls last for longer

Cons:
Might be drying if used too often.

Overall, Considering the price its a good pocket-friendly mousse.
Rating: 4.25/5

BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION: REVIEW AND SWATCHES

4 comments
Hello Girlies :)

I’m sure everyone has heard about Bourjois Healthy mix Foundation. I was really excited to try it out. It is supposed to be a long-wear, 16 hour foundation, with fruit extracts, including apricot, melon, apple and ginger that Bourjois claims are really good for your skin.


Price: Rs. 1120

Ingredients :
water , dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane , Butylene Glycol , PEG-10 Dilmethicone, Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium chloride , disteardimonium Hectorite, Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate, dimethicone crosspolymer , Tocopheryl Acetate , Alcohol Denat , Parfum , Panthenol  Alcohol , Aluminum hyroxide , Silica
, Propylene Glycol , Sodium Hyaluronate , Glycerine , Pyrus malus (apple)
cucumis melo (melon) fruit extract , Zingiber officinale (ginger) root extract ,
Prunus armeniaca (apricot ) , Sorbic Acid . 


MY TAKE ON BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION:
The foundation has a nice, smooth texture. It’s not heavy or thick, and its not runny at all.The packaging is decent. I like that the foundation comes in a plastic bottle, it has a pump so you can pump out just the right amount of product,the packaging of the bottle is great as the bottom of the bottle moves up as you use it this makes it a lot easier to know when you are about to run out.


Bourjois Healthy Mix gives me medium coverage, which is nice, and I like how it doesn’t look cakey or patchy on the skin. The foundation is buildable, so you can do without a concealer for minor blemishes.It’s fairly lightweight so I think it will work really well as an everyday foundation.It does last a long time (all night) on my normal to dry skin. The foundation is available in 8 shades.


I especially like this the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation because of the slightly dewy finish that it gives me.It’s not mattifying, not completely dewy, but lies somewhere in between as far as finish goes. It looks very natural on skin.

PROS :

Last really long . 8/10 hrs
Good for skin .
Looks natural on skin .
Good Coverage .
Vacuum pump.


CONS :
Not all shades are available in India .

The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation is definitely one i recommend. It’s the perfect dewy, lightweight foundation. It’s doesn’t cake up and leaves my skin looking and feeling fresh and more even toned.
   

MY RATING :
4.5 / 5

The lipstick has a very smooth and creamy texture, it glides on lips very easily and is super pigmented. You just have to swipe it twice and you get an opaque coverage. it is not at all drying on lips, but still due to winter season i prefer wearing a lip balm before i apply lipstick, rest its totally up to you if you don't want to apply lip balm first.
 
The color is very beautiful light brown shade with a hint of peach in it. The shade is very wearable and classy. Inspite of the fact that the lipstick is smooth and creamy it doesn't bleed or get transferred on glasses and spoon. Te color is very nice daily wear brown shade. And it stays on for 3-4hours without fading.

MAYBELLINE MOISTURE EXTREME LIPCOLOR,817 VELVET CRUSH Review & Swatches

6 comments
Hey girls,

Lets start with reviews now... here i come with a review on Maybelline moisture extreme lipstick in shade 'Velvet Crush'


Product Description:

Maybelline Color Sensational Moisture Extreme Lipsticks are definitely for the Filipina who likes a lipstick that is straightforward. This collection will take you from night time to day and keep your lips moisturized all day long.
No more dryness usually associated with matte lipstick. Infused with hydra-nectar technology for creamy satin feel and pure undiluted pigments for superior crisp color, the all-new luscious selection offers the ultimate sensational experience from glide and texture to coverage and look – you’ll surely go gaga over lipsticks like never before!


Price: Rs 250

My Take on Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick- Velvet Crush:

The color is very beautiful pinkish brown shade with mauve undertones. it has some sparkles added to it , but the sparkles are not very shimmery or over the top it just adds some sheen to the lipcolor. This color is good to be worn in winters and will suit almost everyone. The finishing is glossy as are all lipsticks from the “Moisture Extreme” range.


The lipsick is true to its name , it is indeed moisture extreme that you need not to apply any lip balm on your lips before applying this range of lipstick. The lipstick will provide deep moisture to your lips. The lipstick is unbelievable smooth and creamy.

Pigmentation of the lipstick is simply great, one swipe and you are done with it. The packaging is opaque and sturdy, you can carry it in your purse without any worries. You can make out the color from its packaging shade. 


The sad part is that it doesn't stay for more than 3.5 hours, and the color transfers to the tea cup etc., that is because of its super creamy texture i think.

Pros of Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick- Velvet Crush:
  1. Affordable
  2. Smooth and creamy texture
  3. Great Pigmentation
  4. Nice shade
  5. Sturdy packaging
  6. Moisturizing

Cons Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick- Velvet Crush:
  1. Staying power
  2. Can bleed a little

   
Overall,These lipsticks have got everything I need from a lipstick :Moisture,color, pigmentation, wide choices, finishes in glossy and creme, decent staying power and affordability! I totally love moisture extreme range from Maybelline.

   

You can get a chance to  win two of these lipsticks HERE... Enter in my ongoing Giveway :)

INCOLOR GLIMMER BLUSHER, SHADE 07: REVIEW & SWATCHES

6 comments
Hello Beauties :)
I am back with a review... and this time i am reviewing highlighter from Incolor. The shade that i am reviewing here is shade no. 7 and name is not mentioned here.

 
Product Description: Get a natural lustre, shine and a sensuous appeal. Gives right balance of colour and highlight without streaking the skin. Long-staying. All day wear without fading or creasing. Soft and gentle to use.

Quantity: 9 gm
Price: near about 190 INR.


My take on Incolor Glimmer Blusher, Shade No- 7:

The color is pretty coppery peach shade good enough to use as a highlighter. It comes in baked form, domed shaped. The blusher is soft and nicely pigmented, when i swipe my finger on it, i get adequate amount of color. But when we apply it on face with  brush, color doesn't show up, and i end up using it as a highlighter and not a blusher. No, not at all. It has got very tiny shimmer in it. 

Pros:
Pigmentation is nice
works great as a highlighter
Has a shimmery dazzling effect.
Inexpensive 
Cons:
Staying power is not more than 4 hours
Does not show up if used as blusher

Blended
Rating: 2.7/5
