Clinique Mid Season Offer !!!!!

2 Comments
Hello People,

So last week when i was in Sydney for a week, i came across this add which showed all the mid season sale which were going on in Myer's and David Jones.

And Clinique at David Jones were running an offer which said if you spend $60 or more  on any skin product you get a pouch of 5-6 deluxe sample products.



So i got a Clinique for Men Oil control Moisturizer and Facial Toner 2 worth $68 and got a decent delux samples with a pouch.

Well first of all i am super impressed with their sample products.

Lets begin with the Clinique for Men Oil control mattifying Moisturizer ---100ml ($39)

So my husband has severe  acne prone skin and he wanted something that moisturizes and same time should not feel greasy .
His views " quite nice , does moisturize but is not greasy at all.".

His skin being extremely oily any cream gives him acne but I have observed his breakouts are in control from the time he has started using this one.

So guys/boys/men suffering from severe  acne issue hand has extremely oily T-zone area should definitely give it a try.


Second product that i got is the Claryfying Lotion 2 ----200ml ($29). This is specifically for dry/combination skin.
Honestly i am yet to use this one. So will write about it in detail in one of the upcoming post



Now lets talk about the Interesting Stuff the Bonus bag. Super impressed with the deluxe samples. Altogether you get a total of seven sample products which are are of decent size.
Products list :-
1) Liquid facial soap mild
2)dramatically different moisturizing lotion (for very dry to dry combination skin
3)Scupltwear (lift and contour serum for face and neck)
4)Repairwear (sculpting night cream)
5)Long Last soft matte lipstick (shade :- Matte Suede)
6)High impact mascara
7)All about shadow duo (11 nightcap) and blusing blush powder (01 aglow)

Its a pack of the entire skin care routine with an addition of cosmetics products. Can also work as your travel essentials . Great products needless to say....... only drawback was lipstick which was quite lighter shade for me....but is such an amazing product that its a definite buy (but in different shade)
And the pouch is of a very good quality and cute.

Funny that i was more happy for the bonus pouch than the actual products i bought (lol)


Unfortunately i am not able to see the offer valid online,,,but you can try your luck by going to the David Jones Clinique outlet. Accordingly a good bargain :)

Thanks for reading ....will be back next time with something new.

Stay Happy and Beautiful !!!

XOXO

Ginger Scalp Care Shampoo and Rain Forest Nutrition Conditioner | Body Shop Product Review

Add Comment
Hey Y'all pretty people!!

Hope you all are doing great.

Today's review is about one of the very talked about product of TBS and one which is comparatively quite new.

I was not able to rely on the hard anti dandruff shampoo's any more. So i desperately wanted something that was tried and tested and was dependable and TBS product always are ideal as they are paraben free and are used using community trade produce.

Ginger Scalp Care Shampoo is quite talked about for its heavy duty job on dandruff and many people on internet recommend it. So i thought to give it a try since its a TBH product nothing can go wrong.

Packaging:- Comes in a plastic bottle which is quite sturdy and also is travel friendly.


 Rain Forest Nutrition Conditioner is a comparatively new than the Ginger Scalp Care Shampoo.
Since the ginger shampoo is a heavy duty scalp cleaner it needed a strong conditioner too. And i hear quite good reviews about this one so i opted for it. You can also try the Banana Conditioner.

Packaging:- Plastic packaging pretty simple nothing fancy.

So i choose these two products to fight the flaky scalp issue i was facing for quite sometime (guess its because of the change of water as i moved from India to Australia)
My Hair type:- Scalp dry,  dry curly hair.

Well i was quite excited about trying out this shampoo which claims to make the scalp clean n fresh. The ingredients does convince you to some extent. However my experience unfortunately was quite opposite to its claim. For some reason its doesn't work for me, after each wash i still see flaky fall outs. And the most unfortunate part is the hair fall. The hair fall has increased tremendously which is insane. Its smells like legit ginger and that's about it.
Not Happy :(

Coming to the conditioner its quite a decent conditioner. But i would still recommend Organix Quenching Plus Curls Conditioner over this one.

Rain Forest Nutrition Conditioner might work with the shampoo from the same line but with Ginger Scalp Care Shampoo it was not able to fulfill its claim.
It does smell quite tropical and mild.The consistency of the product is quite thick and cream like.

Overall not quite impressed with the shampoo at all.

It has not worked for me, but it might have worked for others. So people who have same scalp condition like mine do your research before buying this product.

Hope this review might have helped you guys....

Will be back with an new post soon.

Thank You for reading...

See you soon..

XOXO

LA Girl Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Matte

Add Comment
Hey Lovelies!!!

How are you all!!!

So this review is quite overdue. I have used these new lippies for more than 3 months now. And i was quite lazy to get down with my review , but today i had to write it down.

In India these are available on Flipkart and recently Nykaa also have them on their site now.

They are priced at INR 575 on Nykaa and at Flipkart its at INR 599 (price changed currently)

These lippies are quite raved about on internet and are much loved by many you tubers.

LA girl's concealers are very well known but the lip range is also exciting.

LA Girl Flat Finish Gloss Matte is a liquid lipstick which dries of matte and are highly pigmented.

The two shades I own are Frisky and Black Current.
Frisky is a very beautiful red which has orange tone to it and is such a versatile color which suites every skin tone. Extremely pigmented and long lasting. Quite a crowd pleaser and was very popular among my office colleagues. After seeing this color three of my colleagues ordered the same shade the next day .

Black Current is a dark aubergine color and is quite gothic and looks amazing if you style it well.
I was little over ambitious and was sure I can do justice to the color, however i feel it's not my color. But the color is quite smashing.



 Pro's:-   As the name suggests these Flat Finish Pigment are extremely pigmented and are transfer proof. Have wide variety of color range to choose from. Doesn't come off with water and in my case it did survive couple of cups of coffee.

Con's:-   After application it does feel tacky for quite a long time. Every time you press your lips it feels sticky. Pigments in Black Current are not quite smooth as Frisky. You need to layer up the Black Current to get that opaque color.For removal you need a good makeup remover as these tend to stain. It has a strong paint smell so people who are not much on scented lip colors this one may be not for them.


Overall can be a good buy only from the color point of you. However i feel the formula can still be bit better and less tacky and it does effect the whole experience.

Will I re-purchase it??

Maybe or maybe not. Loved the color range but not quite happy with the formula.

Hope this review was helpful for your lovelies ,will be back soon with a new review that i am still testing.

Regards,
Ritika

Coloressence Intense Liquid Color Review

Add Comment

Hello People,

I hope you all had amazing weekend, so did I.

Its again a review day!! We will be talking about Coloressence Intense Liquid Lip Color in shade Candy Orange.
Coloressence is an Indian brand who has their makeup range and have started to export their products to 30 countries like Malaysia , Sri lanka ,Thailand,New Zeal Land ,Canada etc.

So for long i was looking for a brigth in your face orange. For me orange color instantly brightens my face up. So i was looking for a pure Orange color which should e high in pigmentation and my quest came to an end with this little guy here.

Packaging:-   Very unique in the packaging. Eye catchy ,small petite pack which is definitely easy to carry around in your clutch. The pack is of plastic material with a wand like applicator.

Applicator does make the application uniform.

Price:- INR 350 for 8ml

Application:- Now people who doesn't like perfumed lipstick then this one is not for your, as this has very lingering fruity smell. As i mentioned earlier it has a wand applicator which definitely make the life hell lot easier. This shade is a little tricky and need a little more careful application.
The color is a beautiful in your face "ORANGE" color. So its always safe to pick little product first and built it up. Color does stain lips. It will be little sticky for the initial 2-3 seconds and then it starts to dry off completely.

My Experience:- I literally loved the product .The pigments are super intense, application is top class and staying power is really  Good and impressive.
I wore the color till 4-5 hours without touch ups.
It literally is a best liquid non transferable lip color which is an Indian Brand.
I might pick the other colors too :P :P.
And with this pricing it definitely the best liquid lip color available in Indian market.

So the Question!! Is it worth another shot/purchase??
YES without any doubt.
Readers from India its a must try.



This is what it looks like on me .... Note:- A little color  goes long way , so try not put lot at first place. 

Hope this review was useful in some way :)

Will be back soon .....

Much love!!
XOXO

L'Oreal Color Riche Intense Color Moisture Matte Lipstick - Liquid Color Review

Add Comment

Hello Beautiful People!

Hope all of you are healthy and staying beautiful.

Today i am going to review the latest possession of mine. We are talking about L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Intense Color Moisture Matte Lipsticks.

Now i picked up two variants from the same range, one in Matte lipstick range and other one liquid matte color.

Colors Shade:- Lincoln Rose        Montaigne Brick
                        
                    
                 




First let's talk about  Matte Lipstick :- Lincoln Rose  which is a bomb color.

Pigmentation A+
Mattifying Effect A +
Staying power A+

I am super impressed with this lipstick honestly. Only shade i was reaching out to during my brother's wedding.
                                                                          Lincoln Rose

Color Payoff:- The pigmentation is exceptionally good according to me. I like color which are spot on with one swipe. And Lincoln Rose is just like that. It is matte color but like doesn't dries off on the lips. It does provide that much of moisture which is needed. Color is very unique as it beautiful peachy pink color with a orange undertone to it. Once applied it immediately lights up the face . Super flattering to my type of skin tone.
Formulation is matte but still it has a bit of moisture which does completely dry off the lips.

It does transfer , but there is trick to that too. Blot a tissue on the lips after applying the color and it can still work as non-transferable lip color.

It does fall under the pricey lipstick category but it's worth every dime.


Second color is the liquid matte color from the same range. Shade name Montage Brick.

  Now this particular lip color's formulation reminds me of  MUA lip color range. They are matte and with amazing formulation. It does claim to be matte however they are quite moisturizing .
Its a nice nude-ish color for my type of skin tone.
Color Payoff is great with one swipe your get the exact color . It is quite transferable and tissue trick might not work here as it may lighten the color.

                                                                         Montage Brick
Again a little pricey but as they say all good things comes with a heavy Price tag.  If you are looking for a absolute knockout color your must try Lincoln Rose shade. "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

So will I buy these babies again......

Lincoln Rose most definitely..... and the liquid lipstick i might try different shade.


Both the shades costed me INR 899.

That's it from now....... will be back soon with a new review .

The Body Shop Vitamin E Cool BB Cream

2 Comments
Hello Beautiful Peepps!!!

Wassupp!! VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO Y'ALL

Well its been ages i got opportunity to sit in peace and write a review. Reason!!! my bro got married **claps** **claps**

SOOO Happyy for the newly Weds..and Loads of love and wishes for them <3 <3

Well yes i am going to write a review on a BB cream that i got my hands on recently. Well honestly have read and heard lot of not so good feedback about this one. So thought to try it on once and see how it works on me, also the fact winters are here so thought it can work out.

So the product is our very own The Body Shop's "Vitamin E Cool BB Cream".

Packaging:-   Come in a tube packing which make it very travel friendly and steady. Very generic packing.

Product:-  As its a BB cream yes its tinted but only comes in 1 shade. Which is not very fair for those whose skin color is on darker side. Has a medicated smell which completely fades off once applied. Consistency is quite thick and just a tiny drop is enough which spreads out easily.

My Views:- Since i started using this in winters may be it is kinda working for me. Its a The Body Shop Vitamin E range BB cream and this is on a little oily side of it. It does help your skin to even out but also  moisturizes at the same time.I personally like the results what i am seeing on myself.
The only draw back is that it only comes in 1 universal shade and may not match most of the skin shades .

Will i buy it again?? Depends ....... I would use it in winters only maybe.

Overall its an average rated product ,,,nothing much about it.

Thats it for now,,i hope to post something soon....

Till then..

Be Beautiful

XOXO

MUA LUXE WHIPPED VELVET

Add Comment
Hey hey pretty bees!!


Wassup!  Well by now you might have known that I am a HUGE lip products addict..... Continuing the addiction I have a new lip product to review.  This is MUA LUXE WHIPPED VELVET in shade Ritzy.  How often it happens that you get a Lip Product on your name. Honestly I got it coz the shade name  and turns out the color is a bomb.
 

This product  is a lip cream which turns out matte when applied on lips,however it doesn't dries off as matte it's finish is matte. Packaging is very basic. Plastic tube with a wand applicator which is quite handy as it helps in even application. So the color which shows through the tube is the true color of the product which again i think is user friendly. 

My Experience:- First of let me give the credit for its incredible formula. Its like eating fries and not gaining weight,,,,,,,weird reference u might think. But think a lip cream which is so pigmented and hydrating gives a matte finish. I literally love this and currently it is my favorite. As far as color transfer is concerned  i found out, when i apply the lip cream and leave it to settle down (no eating or drinking in between) the color tends to transfer less. Otherwise it does transfers. The shade i got is called "Ritzy" and that is why i got it :D. Its a very pretty warm tone pink and is an absolute everyday wear color. The color is build able and after 2-3 coats it becomes quite a pop pink color (on medium skin tone) 
The only con according to me is it settles into the creases and requires touch up.
To be honest it is little pricey for a product like that but the formula is new. There are very less color options though i would love to see some dark shades under this line.
This is how it looks on me.
Now the Question is! will i re-purchase it?? Honestly may be if the colors option increases otherwise i think it is little pricey according to me.  
 See you next time!

XOXO
