A big thanks to Sunsilk for this beautiful packaging

RBR Makeup brushes- review, photos

Rouge Bunny Rouge have recently added two new brushes to their line-up,  Highlighter 014 and Blender 016. I was gladly surprised to see this new addition in their brush collection because I have always been a fan of RBR brushes  since I used their RBR crease eye shadow brush and these additions just further showcase the high quality, versatility and durability of the brush collection. 

Colorful Cross Strap wedges from SammyDress!

Ever since I've started wearing heels, I've always have had a special fancy towards wedges! Recently I realized that I've considerably neglected buying new wedges which was a big blunder on my part!! As a result, got hold of this beautiful pair from SammyDress.  

Although SammyDress has an enormous collection of women's wedges, lots and lots of lovely pairs to choose from, however as soon as I saw this one, just knew it had to be this!

Although the base color is beige, it has a number of colorful stripes on the wedge heel that makes it more versatile. It has a cross strap design with a cute hanging star buckle.

The best thing about wedges that I like is how wonderfully they go along well with both western & Indian dresses!

Unfortunately these wedges are out of stock at the moment, hope they are re added soon.

The palette is a bit different from other due its combination of shades, it has two powder shadows, one pressed pigment and one liquid metal.The shades are beautiful and wearable too. 

Pond's Age Miracle Deep Action Night Cream- review, photos

Hi beauties
This winter I have started using Pond's Age Miracle Deep Action Night Cream for a try out because my skin had started to become dry and I also noticed some fine lines on my face. So just for a trial I started using this cream since about a month ago. Today I'm going to review this cream after my one month experience.

I have written a lot about Pond's creams packaging so will not go into the details. In short it's a lovely packaging but quite heavy for traveling and a bit unhygienic because you have to touch the product again and again with your fingers.

I have been using this cream since 5 weeks and  after a month I can notice the difference in my skin.My face looks so smooth, fair, and pinkish, and my skin feels tight, glowing and radiant. You are going to see my bare skin in some coming posts because of Muharram is going on.

I use it every night before I go to bed after cleansing my face. I apply it all over the face and neck in small dots then blend in an upward motion with my finger tips, giving a short and quick massage. The cream blends so easily and sinks into my skin very quickly leaving a soft and supple skin feeling. 
The texture is neither rich nor light so it's perfect for normal to dry skin and oily skin at same time. I'll advise the oily skin ladies to use it with one or two drops of  rose water, in this way the texture will be perfect for your skin.
As far as I'm concerned, I really love my skin after waking up in the every morning finding it more bright, supple and fresh, I have also noticed a reduction in the fine lines to a great extend. 
Quantity wise it's quite enough in this cost because it lasts for a month easily so you can easily afford it each month.

 Finally, I love this lovely night cream and would love to use it again and again. My jar is going to get over now so I have to buy it soon. I had used Pond's Gold Radiance Night Cream before it which was also a sweetheart for my skin so I haven't yet decided that which one I would prefer this time but if you compare the price between the two, Pond's Age Miracle Deep Action Night Cream will be a winner.

PRICE-  

Pond's Age Miracle Overnight Repair Dream Night Cream (50 gm) priced at INR 399

COB RATING-  4.8/5

Sleek Makeup 2 i-divine will surely make your Christmas special!

Sleek Makeup always enjoy the festive season therefore makeup lovers from all around the world keep their eyes on them in festival days to see something amazing. Last year Sleek Makeup had made surprised us with their Limited Edition Berry Collection which was a remarkable collection. This Christmas another surprising gift is waiting for all makeup junkies. 

Sleek Makeup's Sparkle 2 Palette, the latest eyeshadow palette to be released, comes just in time for the holiday season! A follow-up to 2010's Sparkle Palette, this is also, as the name implies, full of sparkle!This one is too a remarkable palette.

When I saw the palette box, I was really pleased to see the sparkling lights which easily describe the inside story. 

I always love their packaging, sleek and elegant. 

After opening the palette, you can see the all sparkle and lights in this multi colored palette, they have even given some beautiful festive names to all shades.

This is the sequel to the original Sparkle palette, which was released back in November 2010.  I  haven't tried the original one so this will be a precious gift for me.

Like other Sleek Makeup palettes, this has 12 shades of colours. To be honest, I was really thrilled to see the color selection this time round - the palette is pretty wearable overall and the colours actually go with each other.

I found that some shades are amazingly beautiful and extremely perfect for festivals.And as the name suggests all the shades have shimmers!

Chocolate Penny is a pretty shade - a neutral golden brown, very wearable. Not much fallout rather buttery soft.
Blue Spruce isn't totally blue, more like a medium-deep aqua. This is a gorgeous shade, it's got big glitter bits that do tend to fallout.
Mulled Wine - This is a gorgeous plum with big gold glitter. Smooth like butter and very bendable.

Truffle . I think this one is most my favourite shade in the entire palette. No glitter, but a beautiful shimmer finish, and the perfect shade of suits-every-skintone brown that's not too brassy, nor too grey. Extremely soft finish.
Mistletoe .Beautiful name. Forest green with big gold glitter. The glitter doesn't show up in swatch but it's a very pretty shade.
Illusion . Another favorite shade, gorgeous violet purple, with big glitter. So romantic shade.
Festive . Another violet purple, but more pink-toned and less blue-leaning than Illusion, also with big glitter. This is also my sweet heart.
Gold Ribbon . A metallic warm gold shade with a metallic finish, no glitter. It kinda looks a little yellow on my skin but maybe it looks great on medium and dark skin tones.

Glitz and Glamour . Deep, deep, blackened purple-brown with big glitter bits. Gorgeous shade with great pigmentation. It'll be a big option when you have no mood to apply a black shade.
Tinsel . Your silver metallic, no glitter but a shimmer finish. It's beautiful unique shade, rarely can be seen in any palette.
Twinkle . Wow, another pretty name!Evocative of the night sky, this is a deep, deep nighttime blue with big glitter bits. Like twinkling stars in the dark blue sky. Another option of black.
Starry Night . Sleek Makeup loves to close out its palettes with their black shade, but now with more bling that makes you thrilled with its pigmentation! I really really love this black shade with big glitters instead of fallout. 

Among the twelve some shades are totally shimmers but rest are matte with silver sparkling particles. I love sparkle with matte color shades. This palette has 4 shimmers and 8 glitters.

The texture and pigmentation is unbelievably amazing. Each color has great pigmentation and blending power. There are some fall outs which be a bit irritating but the effects make you crazy about this palette. I love shimmers in eye shadows but in this palette matte with sparkle made me surprisingly happy. When you have a palette like Sleek Makeup Sparkle 2, your mood becomes festive by itself. 

You get buttery soft texture so you have to bear some fallout while applying the shades.

 I really love the velvety smooth texture of all shades. The all blend well and the effects which you get, make you smile always. All shades last long about for 7 hours on my eyes. Even you don't need a primer or base but if you have it'll be great to apply the shadows after applying the primer, in this way, you will get an amazing result.

Here the swatches

Finally, I have completely fallen in love with this sparkling palette, if you want a holiday palette with wearable, well-edited colors that still has some zing, and can take glitter, this one is for you.

I would love to play with every color again and again but due to Muharrm I'm unable to do so now, so you will get to see some eye makeups after it. But no doubt that it's an incredible surprising gift from Sleek Makeup who has filled happiness and excitement these holidays with this gorgeous palette.

PRICE- Sleek MakeUP Sparkle 2 i-Divine will be out on the 3rd December priced at £7.99  

AVAILABILITY- 

Available at Superdrug stores and Sleek Makeup Website.

COB RATING-  4.9/5

L'oreal Casting Creme gloss hair color- review, photos

Loreal hair colors have been a favorite of all those who use hair color. These hair colors are available in many ranges & the most popular one is the Casting Creme gloss which is available in 11 shades in India and more than 30 in the western countries. Of course, you can't expect blonde shades to be available here. The 11 shades here are most suitable for Indians- Check them out

Today I'm reviewing the shade 316 Plum.

What Loreal Paris says: Casting Crème Gloss is a no ammonia hair colourant that gives your hair visible shimmering tones, glossy shine and covers grey.

Give your hair a total beauty treatment with Casting Crème Gloss, for glossy rich, natural-looking colour with visible shimmering tones

Contents:

1 tube of creme colourant 

  1 tube of developer creme
  1 bottle of Nutri-Shine conditioner
1 pair of professional quality gloves
- 1 instruction leaflet

Application: I mix the creme colorant into the developer bottle. The developer bottle has an application tip & you can apply the mixture with that. But I prefer using a brush for this purpose. If you have long hair then the whole bottle may get used up but the amount of color utilized entirely depends on the length of your hair. Also if you just need a root touch up then some color may be left over. Don't forget to put on the plastic gloves provided in the pack. 

I would always suggest applying the color for around 45 minutes but if you have short hair then 30-35 will also do. The color does not drip once it's on your hair so the texture is not too thick nor too runny.

 Anyways, time ambles by and now it's time to wash the color. You can always use the Nutri shine conditioner provided in this pack. It comes in a cute little container of 40g which is enough for 3 washes. This conditioner smells great & I've always loved using this! The color gives a beautiful glossy shine to your hair & stands true to it's claim! The color difference is visible clearly & with the sun beam on it, your hair would look gorgeous!! These colors are available for Rs 499 & they are totally worth it! Highly effective, long lasting & ammonia free. What else would you require from a hair color? So if you are into hair color I would highly recommend you to try out shades from Loreal Paris casting Creme gloss!

My friend's hair after root touch up

As you can see in the pic above that the hair looks really glossy & has a plum effect to it. This is what it looks on dark black hair so if you have slightly lighter natural hair color then it would show up even more. But my personal opinion is that this shade looks best on dark hair!

Rating: 4.5/5
They are easily available in many stores throughout the country.

Ponds Gold Radiance Night Cream- review, photos

I had heard many wonderful things about Pond’s Gold Radiance range & after finishing with my Ponds Flawless white night cream which is really good, I wanted to try something new.  I had been feeling some tiredness since a few days due to hectic schedule( you know what business is like)and I saw its reflection on my face first. Apart from this my health was not in its best of condition so I thought it would be a good chance to test this night cream on my skin.

I’ll first write something about its packaging which is really beautiful but quite similar to Pond’s other skincare ranges like white beauty and anti-aging ranges, the difference is just of the color which is of course golden! Inside the gold packaging there is the same stylish jar which is heavy but classy; a spatula for taking out the cream is kept inside the package. It’s a lovely and classy packaging the only downside of the packaging is that it’s not a travel friendly.

 

The texture of the product is very fine, it’s neither thick nor runny it’s just fine for applying on my skin at night. It is luxuriously creamy. It's surprisingly light and it glides on exceptionally well when you put it on your face. Even if the weather is getting warmer, it feels just right. It's not greasy in the slightest. 

I have been using this cream since 3-4 weeks and I’m very impressed by its result. It has worked great on my skin. Every morning when I saw my it's looks pleasantly radiant! The gold micro particles definitely do their job & they give a light sheen to your face. I love my skin these days, it looks soft smooth and fresh. I'm not sure about its effect on aging lines because I didn't use it's complete range like gold serum or moisturizer but I'm sure that if using just night cream can work so well the full range would definitely work great. I will surely want to try other products of this range too. No doubt that Pond's products are effective and work effectively on all type skins.

The gold micro particles after blending

Finally, I'm loving this night cream and I think it's one of the best night creams that I have used till now. I also love Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair's instant brightening effect. It makes my skin look more fairer instantly after application but not ghostly fair.The texture is so nice that my skin absorb the cream so quickly, I never feel greasy effect after applying it. It's really an ideal night cream.

Rating- 5/5

Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair {50 gm} is available for INR 799 at leading department stores and drug stores nationwide.

Harvey Prince- A treasure of fragrances....

A soft and floral fragrance has always been very close to a woman's heart and she always has been in search  of more and more sweet and lovely scents for herself. Harvey Prince is a very well-known name in this field and they know how to attract women by their high quality fragrances.

I hosted a giveaway on my blog a couple of months back & the winner really loved the Ageless perfume she received. I was lucky enough to receive a couple of fragrances from Harvey Prince & I really adore them. 

• Harvey Prince Eau Flirt
• Harvey Prince Yogini
• Harvey Prince Hello
• Harvey Prince Ageless
• Harvey Prince Let's Tryst again

 

Who is Harvey Price? Do you want to know?

I want to write something very interesting about them.

Harvey Prince was founded by two brothers as a gift for their mother.

In their own words…

Our mother is our inspiration: she radiates warmth and turns heads wherever she goes. Harvey Prince is a salute to breathing magic into every moment, and taking on every day with confidence. We hope your new fragrance will bring out the magic you have inside of you.

Isn’t it interesting?  Not just story but their products are more interesting. I have used some of them and today I’ll write something about them.

Harvey Prince - Eau Flirt

(8.8 ml $26) 

Mixture of Lavender, Pumpkin Pie, Citrus, Jasmine, Freesia, Ylang Ylang, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Ambers
Style: Seductive. Sparkling. Wicked

I've always loved soft floral smells & Eau Flirt is just it!! The sweet smell of this perfume makes my day. The smell is so tempting, attractive & irresistible! I love the way it fades slightly into a milder smell which makes it all the more better. Eau Flirt lasts for more than 6 hrs which is surprisingly fabulous! Made up of essential oils it has a complex fragrance in which lavender & pumpkin are not domination. The mixture is beautiful &  surely flirty! I've always got so many compliments whenever I wear this perfume!It is a must have in your perfume collection!

 Harvey Prince Hello EDP

 Harvey Prince Eau de Perfume in Hello simply did have me at hello.It was launched a few months back in spring & it definitely made for spring! The light, fresh aroma makes me feel so good. There is a hint of citrus smell in it along with a mixture different floral fragrances! I really love wearing this in my day to day life!

Notes:  Meyer Lemon, White Grapefruit, Satsuma Mandarin, Summer Forsythia, Pink Plumeria, Wild Verbena, Tahitian Vanilla, Sensual Musk.

Harvey Prince Yogini EDP

(8.8 ml $26) 

 A play on the word “yoga”, Yogini is a very calming and soothing fragrance. Claiming to capture that post-yoga glow in a bottle, Yogini uses Sandalwood, grapefruit and Egyptian myrrh to leave you feeling relaxed and eased.It is very light & has a mild yet noticeable smell. It is surely worth trying!

Notes- Sandalwood, golden amber, sensual incense, Egyptian myrrh, pink grapefruit, blackcurrant buds, lily of the valley, star jasmine, rose petals, ylang-ylang, cardamom, madagascar vanilla

Harvey Prince Ageless 

(8.8 ml, $26)

 

Ageless is a really great scent, it is Harvey Prince's signature perfume. After Eau Flirt this is my second favorite! It smells fresh and perfect for Spring. When you first spray it you immediately smell the pink grapefruit and other fruity and floral scents in it. After an hour of wear I really start getting to the dry notes of warm vanilla, and soft musk still with a tinge of floral aura. It claims to make you feel 8-12 years younger :) Well I won't comment on that, but overall i love this perfume!

Lets Tryst Again 

(8.8 ml, $26)

 This is a roll on perfume with a bold scent. Can be used by both men & women. I wouldn’t  say that this smells bad but then the smell is not very pleasant. However this is my opinion, many people do find it a very sexy smell, primarily the cloves & Amber dominating!

Notes- Pepper, Fennel, Jasmine, Rose, Balsamic, Amber, Sandalwood,Tonka

Finally, I’m highly fascinated with their perfumes but I’m just crazy about the Harvey Prince Eau de flirt, trust me, it’s the one of the best fragrances which is really mesmerizing. Whenever I used this one everyone has asked me the same question “hey what perfume are you wearing today? I've used this a lot & it's about to get over, I'm planning to buy the 50 ml one now!

Harvey Prince has a treasure of gorgeous perfumes & you can choose any that suits your fancy!

What about you?
