Neutrogena Oil Free Acne face wash- Review {Guest Post}

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne face wash- Review

Most people find that acne destroys social life and leave unsightly marks and pits behind. I experimented with various face cleansers in my attempt to fight acne but finally came to the conclusion that an acne prone skin is very sensitive and not suitable for experimenting. This was the time when a dermatologist recommended Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. 

What acne-prone skin needs is something that is gentle but cleanses thoroughly. Since I have a very oily skin that is also very sensitive, I could not use many acne washes that leave an oily film. Neutrogena acne wash, on the other hand, cleanses the skin well without leaving behind any oily residue. This cleansing formula gets into your skin pores and eliminates all traces of dirt and makeup. 

When I used this acne wash for the first time, I found that it had an acidic sensation. When I researched it, I came to know that the reason for this was salicylic acid, the key component for not only eliminating acne but also preventing further acne breakouts. After using it for a few times, your face will feel smooth to touch. 

After the acne cleared from my face, my skin felt fresh. Despite may people complaining of over-dryness, I have not felt it. Also, there are no irritations and that is due to the presence of skin soothers that this product contains.

 Ingredients  

Other ingredients that this product contains are chamomile extracts, Aloe extracts and Matricaria extracts. All the three ingredients are recommended for acne prevention and cure. They are also used in treating acne at home.

Acne mostly occurs when your skin is very oily and the pores are clogged. The reason that the pores get clogged is because oil on face attracts dirt that in turns settles inside the pores and chokes them. Your skin is unable to breathe and this causes acne.

 How to apply

Wash your face with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash twice everyday. Apply it on wet face and massage using circular motions. Rinse it off well with cool water. 

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash controls the production of oil on face and I felt that my face looked brighter. If you have a sensitive and very oily skin like me, then this product is good for you.

Diana Of London 2000 Kisses Wonderful Lipstick- Review, Swatches and LOTD

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are doing great! The weather in Dehradun is really amazing, you see, it's just like a new and shy bride who sometimes opens her veil and like Doon's morning and when everyone becomes excited to see her beautiful face, she suddenly covers her face shyly. Believe me it's the daily routine of the weather in  January. Anyways now about today's post, hey what do you feel when you are wearing your favorite lipstick and kiss your lovely child or someone else...what will happen? The shade transfers &  sometimes it feels so awkward , isn't it? To see this problem many brands have produced non transferable lip colors which has relieved girls very much. Today I'm going to review a non transferable lip color from Diana Of London 2000 Kisses Wonderful lipstick.

Diana Of London 2000 Kisses Wonderful Lipstick

Diana Of London 2000 Kisses Wonderful Lipstick is as the name mentions,  a completely non transferable liquid lipstick.

What Diana Of London says....

An amazing lip product in a liquid form with iridescent, metallic effect, smooth on the lips, this uncommon texture doesn't feel heavy, nor greasy, the finish stays longer for 24 hours allowing perception in every occasion.

Weight

8 ml

Price

Rs 525

Packaging

The packaging is quite different from other lipstick because it's a liquid lipstick. At first glance, it looks like a lip gloss. It comes in a transparent sleek bottle through which you can see the product's shade with a silver border on which the name of brand is engraved and with a shining blue cap. On opening the cap, we find an applicator included with it like a lip gloss. The packaging is lovely, quite fancy and light weight which is easy to carry out anywhere.

Ingredients

Shade available

There many beautiful colors available in this range.

Sunset Red,Metallic Mystery Pink,Rose Coral, Red Nature, Metallic Brandy, Metallic Coco Ice, Red Rose, Metallic Copper Moon, Metallic Purple Lady, Soft Pink, Raspberry, Hazel Nut, Metallic Soft Brown, Metallic Icy Brown, Metallic Fuchsia, Metallic Amber, Metallic Coral, Metallic Canberry.

Metallic Brandy

I'm reviewing Metallic Brandy 08 which is a shiny deep copper brown shade.

Texture

The texture of this lipstick is neither thick nor runny. It's not like a lip gloss too. I'm unable to describe it exactly. It feels like you are applying a smooth paste of a mixture of lipstick and gloss. It feels lovely. The texture is quite moisturizing but it'll be better if you apply a lip balm before using it or you can apply a transparent lip gloss over it too.

Pigmentation

It's exremely pigmented. Open the cap and the quantity which will come with the applicator will be enough to cover your whole lips.

Lasting Power

Lasting power is just wonderful. No need to care for 7 to 8 hours after applying. Just apply the lip color on your lips, Allow at least 2-3 minutes drying time after application.

In the mirror of my own experience

When I first applied this lip color, I was just amazed to see its effects. It not only gives the beautiful look to your lips but also you feel as your lips has become naturally in  the same color you apply. You can eat, drink, give a lot of kisses to your beloved and kids, keep your fingers on your lips, you'll not leave any spot of  color at all. Apply this lipstick in the morning and forget till evening. No need for reapplication or reshape and any fear of transferring anywhere on your face. The pigmentation is superb. The shade which you are applying completely shows on your lips. But what about the way of removing? It's not difficult but you need a good makeup remover for removing it completely. If you are using a cleanser, you need to apply it twice to remove it.

Good points

 Pretty fancy and different packaging, easy to carry out.

The applicator included with the cap is quite helpful in applying and shaping.

Pigmentation is superb.

Lasting power is amazing.

It has a completely non transferring formula and works wonderfully.

There are many beautiful shades in this range.

The cost is reasonable.

Bad points

You need a lip balm before applying it if your lips are dry.

You need a makeup remover to remove it.

Finally....

All and all I'm very impressed with this lipstick and is planning to buy some of their light shade because I don't usually use deep shade lipstick and Metallic Brandy 08 is quite a deep shade so I won't be using this one too much. I love its quality, texture and whole formula. It has everything which today's woman wants from a good lip color.

Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick- Review, swatches & photos

I always love Maybelline products, if you are my regular and old readers, you would be aware about my thoughts regarding this brand which not only has good quality but also available at a very reasonable price and affordable by everyone. But it's been quite long since i last wrote any review about this brand.But today, I'm going to review my Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick which I bought recently but have used only once.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick 730 Golden Brown

What Mabelline says...

Crisper color from pure pigments. Creamier feel from nourishing honey nectar

Lipcolor so rich, so stunning… it’s sensational.

Weight

4g

Price

Rs 299

Packaging

The packaging is quite nice although not too impressive. Has an outer covering which comes in different colors as per the shade of your lip color. The inner portion is is shiny silver & looks beautiful. In the bottom of the shade name, number is written on a sticker which depicts the shade of your lipcolor. The inner portion looks beautiful but the outer part is not too impressive.

Texture

This lipstick has a quite moisturizing texture & there is no need to apply a lip balm underneath. Does not make the lips dry for a long time.

In the mirror of my own experience

I have tried some Colorsensational lipsticks before as well & find them great according to their price. This shade is a bit unique with brown undertones & golden shimmers. It is very moisturizing & does not dry out the lips at all. The only problem is the weak lasting power. It stays on for just about 3- 3.5 hrs & starts fading after that. It is not very opaque & you need a few touch ups to get the required shade. The pigmentation is good & it glides on very smoothly on the lips. There are so many shades available in this range from pinks to browns to purples, reds etc. & you can easily get hold of some which suit your skin tone.

Good points

There are so many shades available around 30-40.

Moisturizing texture, does not dry the lips.

gets applied very smoothly on the lips & has pleasant fruity smell.

Nicely pigmented.

Decently priced.

Very easily available.

Bad points

The packaging may not look good to everyone.

The lasting power is quite bad.

Finally...

Finally, it's a quite good purchase according to price. There are lot of shades some of which can not be easily found in all brands. The texture is very moisturizing and pigmentation is great. Overall it has everything that you expect from a good quality brand lipstick

Rating

4/5

Recommendation

I will surely recommend these lipsticks to my readers & I'm very sure many of you must be already owning many shades from these Colorsensational lipstick. These cannot be fully compared to Mac Amplified lipsticks but still according to the price, they should surely be present in your lipstick collection.

Availability

Available at all Maybelline Counters & also online on many websites.
