Lakme Face Magic Daily Wear Souffle- Review

Hi ladies, 

Hope everyone is doing well. Very busy these days!! Anyways, weekend has arrived once again and I'm gonna rest for two days to shake off all my weariness. Terrible weather going on here. Rain Rain and only rain!!! Haven't seen a ray of sunlight since the past 2-3 days. But rains are also fun. Isn't it??

Today's review is all about Lakme Face Magic:Daily Wear Souffle. I read about this product in a magazine. It was for getting a dewy kind of look. I found it quite interesting and bought it about 3 months ago.

WHAT I LIKE:

If I'm in a great hurry this is easy to use and works like a cream+compact+liquid foundation.

Also contains bit of moisturizer.

The bottle is cute.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:

My purpose was not fulfilled. It isn't that effective (For me). One of my friends also used it and she found it quite nice. 

The color is too dark for my complexion. Gives sought of a tanned look.

When I used it for the first time it formed patchy spots on my skin.

It was only for Rs 99. Really inexpensive??

       

WILL I BUY IT AGAIN?? Hmmmmm....I'll have to think. Most probably NO.

So ladies this was all about Lakme Face Magic. Overall I didn't like it that much but maybe you should give it a try. Has anyone of you used it? If yes....don't hesitate to share your views. Hope it works for you. Enjoy the weekend guys!!

If you have dark lips....

Yesterday, my friend Tina visited me. We met after a long time. We often chat on the phone and she always takes beauty tips from me. This time she was concerned about her lips that had suddenly started to look dark. She was always proud of her pinkish lips but this time I got them to be dark.

During our conversation about her lips I asked some questions and I got that the reason of this darkness- a lot of exposure & use of lip color.

 Factors responsible for dark lips:

·        It's a fact that excessive use of lipstick, smoking and exposure can be the causes for dark lips.

·        Smoking is always harmful in every way. Cigarettes, coffee and tea also cause dark lips.

·        Sunrays not only harm the face but also the lips and eyes.

·        If you have dark lips, don’t try to hide it under layers of lipstick. Instead, treat them with natural products. Lipsticks are the major reasons of lip darkening.

This problem is not only with Tina but many ladies face the same.

 What should you do?

• Use lip color occasionally only when you think it’s necessary. Always use a good brand lipstick.
• Sunscreen with at least  SPF 15 should be applied on your lips to prevent pigmentation.
• Every morning, use toothbrush( with soft bristle) lightly on your lips to ex foliate.
• Always moisturize and keep them hydrated.
• Boroline is the best product for the smoothening of lips.
• 
• A mixture of lime juice, honey & glycerin can be effective treatments for dark lips. Apply daily for several weeks to see the result.
• Mix some saffron in 1 tb spoon of warm milk. Apply on your lips for about 20 to 25 minutes. Wipe it with wet cotton wool.
• 
• Rub on some almond milk or almond oil on your lips for at least an hour. Some lipsticks contain high percentage of lead that can darken your lips. Use only mild varieties of lipstick, lip liner, pencils and glosses.
• 
• Drink at least eight glasses of water every day.

So ladies if you will take care of your lips and follow these tips, you will see the result for yourself. Your lips will be compared to red roses.

Lakme- Hair Streak Instant Hair Highlighter for cool hair!!

 Hi guys,

  Happy Eid in advance to all my visitors......Very exited and even tensed a little.....Eid is coming and I'm confused about what sought of a makeup should I put on. Mainly the color scheme is white or pink. Anyways we'll see that. But the hair thing I've decided....

This time maybe I'm gonna apply Lakme Hair Streak instant hair highlighter ( Ritu Beri N1 ).

Afraid of coloring your hair, a sudden invitation for a party or in functions, no time to color your hair......No probs! Try this and highlight your hair for a day or even for few hours for sheer pleasure and happiness. We can use it to accent our natural hair or to play with our looks. Use it in any way you like and get gorgeous cool, hair.

The salesgirl showed me two shades- Brown and golden and I chose the Golden one. I bought it about a year ago and at that time it's cost was  Rs 200.

DIRECTION OF USE: Just select the section to be highlighted and brush color through from root to end.

When you've applied it for the day or certain hours; shampoo your hair and it'll easily come out. When I applied it for the first time i was quite excited as my looks had really changed......

For best results apply to dry hair.

This highlighter does not harm the hair at all and it's really good for me because I hardly color my hair. The brush is similar to a mascara and it's very easy to use.

Key Ingredients: Aqua, Tocopheryl Acetate & polyvinylpyrrolidone (whatever this is....)

This is my last post before Eid and happy Eid to everyone once again.

Lotus Cocomoist Moisturizing Lotion(review)

I brought this moisturizer for this rainy season. In this weather my normal skin becomes a bit oily so I have to try some other products which are different from the usual ones. Moisturizer is must for daily skin care.My Shamoist is the best for me in winter but I have to change it in summer & monsoon. I have tried some other moisturizers which gave good results. Today I'm gonna tell you about Lotus Cocomoist Moisturizing Lotion.

What the company claims-

An all purpose moisturizing lotion that promotes soft, silky and smooth skin.Maintains the pH balance of skin and enhance its moisture retention capacity.

Active Ingredients-Cocoa-Butter, Rose water and Honey.

Direction of use-

What I like in this product-

• The main achievement of this moisturizer is it is not greasy.
• In this humidity ( Dehradun experiences very heavy rains) it is greatly successful.
• There is no trace of stickiness on my skin after applying it.

• It's not thick & it easily smudges into the skin pores.
• I love its light aroma.
• I have finished half of the bottle and my skin does not experience any problem with it.
• The cost of this moisturizer Rs. 250 is pretty reasonable.
• The pump out bottle is nice and comfortable . I take out the needed quantity without touching & wasting it.

What I don't like in this product-

It is thin and good only in summer and monsoon but not in winter when my skin needs more moisturizer.(It is good for combination skin in cold weather).

Will I purchase it again?

Why not, but not in coming winter. 

So ladies, what is your experience with this moisturizer, I'll really want to know this. 

ColorBar's Perfect Gloss range-Review

Hey beauties.....what's up?

I'm really very very happy to get 80 followers. I'm actually jumping to and fro the room filled with happiness and excitement.

How about knowing about a lovely glossy shade. This shade from ColorBar's Perfect Gloss range is 002 Sweet Dreams.

It seems as if it is kind of a creamy pinkish purple shade but actually it is baby pink and is very light which suits me well. I bought it just about 2-3 months ago as a daily use product (about three days in a week).

It's kind of a natural pink and sometimes it feels that I am with my natural lips only.

As a daily use product it should actually be light only even for the working ladies who need to wear lip color every day. Here is the swatch....

The packing is good and it's quite comfortable on applying.

I love it's fragrance too...

It costs only Rs 125 for 6 ml and I've used many from this range.

This is how it looks on applying it.....(above).
