Pond's White Beauty All In One BB + Fairness Cream SPF 30 PA++ Review

Hello Divas :)


Today I am reviewing the first BB cream that I purchased. My friend went ga ga over it so I thought I will give it a try. I am personally not too much into foundation and concealers. I prefer compact to give a radiant matte look. (Reviews coming up) But girls all over the world have been raving about these BB creams i.e. Beauty Balms or Beauty Benefit Creams.

So Pond's is the first one I purchased, You get a 9 gm tube for like 69 bucks.

Apply it on your face and neck after cleansing it. Blend it well till you reach closer to your natural complexion. Use a pea size amount since too much will give a artificial effect to your skin. 

I have been most of the times disappointed by mousses and foundations but this one is a clear winner for me. This gave me a radiant, near perfect glow for almost 5-6 hours without even setting it with compact. It is didn't break me out either. I f you are looking for one cream that acts as tinted moisturizer, foundation and a barely there concealer, this BB cream is right for you.

As you can see above, Pond's BB cream made my skin a clear one tone fairer and brighter.  It provides medium coverage though (you can see the veins). Blending is however required and recommended (I am very lazy so I just leave it on :D) After you blend it properly, you can see the results,

Pros: - 

1. Non-oily, Non-greasy texture

2. Evens out complexion and also claims to fade out spots.

3. Camouflages mild spots and blemishes effectively.

4. Does not leave a white cast 

5. Non-comedogenic

6. Affordable

7. Easily Available.

8. Contains SPF

Cons: -

1. Requires Blending

2. Only one shade available

Rating 4.5/5

Elle 18 Kajal and Elle 18 Black Out Liner Review

Hellllooo all you lovely gals out there :)

Been missing for a looonnngggg time...I missed blogging so much :(

Okay, so today I am gonna do a quick review of the Elle 18 Kajal and Elle 18 Black Out Liner. I just can't get enough of Kajals!!!!

Elle 18 Kajal
Price: 65 INr
Quantity: 3ml
Shelf-life: 30 months
As you can see in the image (and my edited Cover Photo as well :D ) the color turnout has been really good for this Kajal. Wasn't expecting it though. One sweep and it gave a good jet black finish to my eyes. Quickly listing the pros and cons

Pros

1. Jet Black Turnout
2. Smooth
3. Staying power is good compared to other smooth Kajals.
4. Cheap
5. Easily Available
6. Comes off easily with a good cleansing lotion.
7. Sturdy Packaging

Cons

1. Stung my eyes a little. Claims to have almond oil but I have no clue how true it is.
Other than this, no other issues. The stinging could be because of my sensitive eyes and my contact lens usage.


Elle 18 Black Out Liner
Price: 65 INR 
Quantity:5 ml
Shelf life: 24 months

I have always been a Lakme Eye Liner loyalist but I thought of giving this a try. I am not at all happy with the change though. I didn't like the brush and the color turn out either. You can see that the eye liner is a shade lighter than the Kajal. A complete no-no for me.


Pros

1. Cheap
2. Decent Quantity
3. Easily Available
4. Good Staying Power
5. Comes off easily

Cons

1. Felt a little heavy on my lids.
2. Very bad brush
3. Not really black enough


Also, anybody who is interested in posting make up product reviews, style tips, recipes, etc. are more than welcome on this blog. Do let me know however you would like to contribute to this girl's hub :)



So there you go :) Many more quick reviews coming up. Signing off, in style :) !!!

Maybelline Fruity Jelly Tempting Coffee Review

Hello there Lovely Ladies!!!!

I have been away and crazed with my final year exams. No time for anything!!!!

Since Winter is here, I will be reviewing winter care products in this blog on a regular basis.

The first one is Maybelline Fruity Jelly Lip Gloss in Tempting Coffee.

Cost 150 INR for 10 ml

Available at :- I purchased it from Urbantouch.com

I am not a fan of tube lip glosses but since this one is from Maybelline, I thought of giving it a try. This one in Tempting Coffee variant has no shimmer particles in it. Just plain sheer color. I would just list down the pros and cons of this Lip Gloss.

Pros

1. The color turnout is good.

2. The fragrance is just right. Not too mild or strong.

3. Tastes yum!!!! Sweet taste with a hint of coffee.

4. Hygienic tube applicator.

5. Consistency is fairly smooth even in winters.

Cons

1. Staying Power is very less

2. Availability is an issue

Rating: - 3/5

Would I repurchase it?

No. I am more keen on trying the latest Baby Lips Range

Tip : - Before buying any Lip product, swatch it on the fingers. The color is close to our lip color giving a fair judgement about the color. :)

And I blushed Scarlet ;)

Hello there beauties :) I have finally succumbed to the Scarlet Red Lips and Nails after the ever gorgeous Kareena pulled it off with utmost elan in Heroine.

I always thought this color would look good only on fair complexion but I was pleasantly surprised when my wheatish complexion pulled off this look well. The lipstick is from Chambor and the nail paint is from a leeser known brand Nail Trend. These nail paints are dirt cheap and available at Reliance Trends all over(review later) :D

Avoid: - 

1. Wearing any color that clashes with this one. Go for beige, white or black.

2. Heavy eye make up will make you look ghastly. Just one single stroke of eye liner on the upper lids will work well.

3. Heavy ear rings are a strict no no.

4. Wearing it during the day. Tone it down with a mauve or maroon if you need to.

5. Tying your hair in a tight bun, let few strands frame your face. Takes the attention away from any bright color.

Keep the above tips in mind and you are good to go with the Scarlet Red  ;)

Lomani Paris Solara Deo Review

Hello there beauties :)

When it comes to deodorants, I don't remember buying the same one over and over again. I prefer experimenting with fragrances and I am currently using this one.

I had to settle for this one when I was originally Looking for Nike. The store was out of the Pure Lightness one so I thought to go for this one. It's a nice affordable deodorant which is pleasant and girly falling under the woody category. It's neither to strong nor light. The quantity is good for the price and has been well received.

Where? : - Available at cosmetic stores.
How Much? : - ? INR 150

Pros: -
Affordable
Availability
Skin friendly
No white patches

Cons: -
Staying Power is just about okay

Verdict: -
3.5/5

Affordable
Easily Available
Gives a glossy finish without shimmers
Minty flavor which I get tempted to lick ;-)

Does not sustain eating/drinking
Slightly runny in Summers.

Verdict 3/5 :)
