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
