LA GIRL HD PRO BB CREAM REVIEW

03:30:00

Hello angels,

I was on a hunt for BB cream and I had completely forgotten LA GIRL PRO HD range. I already love using pro hd concelar and I was eager to try their HD foundation and BB cream. I have never come across high definition bb cream so have lot of expectations from this product. LA GIRL HD PRO BB CREAM comes in 8 different shades. MY SHADE IS LIGHT.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

HD PRO BB Cream is formulated without parabens and made fragrance-free to pamper sensitive skin and lavishly nourish skin with added Vitamin B3, C and E. The silky formula covers a wide range of skin tones with eight diverse shades. This is your all-in-one skin beautifier that primes, moisturizes and enhances skin tone.

This BB cream comes in a black glossy tube with twist up cap.

You have to press the tube for getting a generous amount of product.

Well the tube comes in travel friendly size so its easy to carry.

I like applying bb cream either with fingers or flat brush just like a foundation. But you can also try using a beauty blender.

I have previously tried lots of bb cream but due to my combination skin very few products stays really well on my skin. Previously I was using Maybelline BB cushion and I totally loved that product. So I am expecting this to be better than anything else. The shade I choose is light which is second shade to FAIR. This shade is for fair skin tone having neutral undertones. Its best shade to go with my skin tone. This has a perfect consistency which I like in my bb cream. It gives medium coverage which I totally loved it. I am obsessed with this bb cream as it gives such a smooth flawless application. It blends like a dream in skin. You don’t need to put much efforts when you have normal to oily skin. Well I guess even for dry skin it can work with light moisturizer. I didn’t apply any other products besides this bb cream and it stayed well for 4 hrs. Later on i did observe my nose getting bit oily so you can apply a compact for touch ups. The texture is perfect balance of cream and liquid foundation. It feels so light on skin and this is one of the reason I like using on everyday basis especially when its summer. If you apply a loose powder it doesn't get oily even when you are out in sun. It doesn’t crease neither it looks patchy the formula doesn't cling to dry patches.

It doesn’t contain any kind of fragrance. It doesn’t clog my pores and doesn’t cause any breakouts.

Overall recommended it has lived up to my expectation it gives a perfect glowy skin which I love. Also its so easy to carry and so so easy to apply even when you are in rush. Great product to try for all skin types you can also mattify it by using a compact or loose powder over it. I personally love well hydrated glowy look.

Also they have 8 shades in this range from which you can choose from. This bb cream gives a perfect silky satin finish look and it not only enhances skin tone but also moisturizes it. If you have enlarged pores you can still use this without the primer as it helps to cover them.

The only one thing I wished for was SPF this BB Cream doesn't contain any SPF. You may have to use additional SPF. Have you tried it yet?

FOREST ESSENTIALS FACE UBTAN NARANGI AND NAGKESAR REVIEW

03:12:00

Hello rosebuds,

I love indulging in to New skin care products especially when summer days are around. Forest essentials have become one of my top rated brands after using ROOP NIKHAR GULAB ubtan I was so impressed that I couldn’t wait to try more of their skin care products.

I have almost completed the jar of Gulab ubtan and I got another ubtan for myself that is Narangi and Nagkesar.

It comes in a plastic jar with gold cap the packaging is very light weight and can be carried for travelling. The product doesn't spill out as it has got separator inside.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Narangi and Nagkesar Ubtan is a gentle exfoliating treatment that stimulates the underlying tissues of the skin.

A clarifying blend of fresh sun-dried ingredients for lightening and brightening your skin, which refines the pores and clarifies the skin tone.

By its revitalizing, refreshing & refining actions, it is very effective of skin pigmentation, and its regular usage firms and tones the skin leaving the complexion soft and glowing with a radiant sheen.

It costs 895/-for 60 gms initially it was same price as Gulab ubtan that is 695/- but recently they have increased their price. I have already completed the jar of rose ubtan it lasted for 4-5 months and I was very happy with the results.

This ubtan acts as a cleanser and as exfoliator too. It comes in form of fine powder which is of yellow tamarind color. It smells like citrus FRUITS like lemon and orange with many more sundried ingredients. The fragrance is not so strong like rose ubtan and its more like refreshing. I totally liked this smell. You can make a thick paste using rose water, milk or curd and also you can use them as face pack. I generally mix it with plain water massage into skin in circular motions for about 5 mins and I keep it for another 5mins before washing it off completely. As it’s a summer time I have incorporated this in my everyday night skin care routine. It’s a mild exfoliant and when you scrub the powder on face it doesn’t feel harsh on skin. Narangi that is orange gives a smooth clear and relaxed skin. It also gives cooling sensation. I didn’t got any breakouts after using this as it gently exfoliates the dead cells from skin. It helps to minimize my pored and keep them clear It claims to act on blemishes as well. I don’t have any acne marks or blemishes but it makes my skin brighter giving a radiant sheen to it. It definitely helps in giving that fresh GLOWY skin. Though you have to use this everyday for maintaining glowy skin because the effects are quite temporary. When you use this for long term it definitely will help you for keeping your skin clear.

Overall recommended I personally like using ubtan as a everyday cleanser if you have oily to combination skin or acne prone skin with blemishes you can get this ubtan for daily use as it will help clarify your skin. It doesn’t make my skin oily or dull even after few hrs of use neither it makes it dry or tight. I love the smell though it can be annoying for sensitive skin. I don’t know how much it affects tanned skin but it definitely makes your skin look bright. This ubtan can be used for pigmentation and ageing skin. You can personalize this ubtan by mixing different ingredients according to your skin type-

How to use

Use with Rosewater or Aloe Vera for normal skin.

Use with milk or cream for dry skin.

Use with yogurt for oily skin.

Mix a teaspoon of fresh tomato juice for pigmentation.

Use to wash face.

Rinse well.

INNISFREE VOLCANIC CLAY MASK , JEJU VOLVANIC PORE TONER & WINE PEELING JELLY SOFTNER REVIEW

12:31:00

Hello angels,

I will be travelling for next few days so before taking a break I want to review some amazing products from INNISFREE.

As we all know it’s a Korean beauty brand having skin care products which are made from natural ingredients. I visited innisfree store just a week ago and picked up lot of products for my skin care. Till now I have been using them and I am pretty happy to share my experience with you.

First I am going to review Wine peeling jelly softener first of all it comes in a plastic wine colored bottle it has a semi white liquid in it which is almost like a gel. You have to just pour it into your hand rub it on your face gently massage it into your skin until you observe some white rough particles which is suppose to be the dead skin coming off. After massaging you need to wash your face with normal water. If your skin is sensitive it can give little redness and burning but that’s quite temporary and settles down in few min. I had no issues with it. Also if you want a deep cleansing you can apply scrub after this. Make sure you apply jelly on dry and clean face as in no makeup or else you will not be able to remove your dead skin and impurities. I loved how it smells just like fruit wine.

After washing of my face my skin felt so soft and clean. It also gave me brightening effect. I was quite happy with this product I make sure to use it once in a week.

Overall recommended if you have acne prone and sensitive skin Do test out the product first.

PRICE 900/-INR

RATING- A

Now coming on to SUPER VOLCANIC CLAY MOUSSE MASK.

This is a clay mask that combines Super volcanic cluster with micro clay mousse for powerful pore care.

It comes in a brown metal bottle just like a deo with a pump once you press it enough quantity of mousse comes out. It s a grey colored clay mask you can apply it on your face with help of brush. After using peeling jelly I apply this mask. Once it gets dry in 10 mins wash it with water. When used often it does minimize your pores. It didn’t help my skin for getting that glow but it surely helped to keep my skin clean and bright. Also it’s a mask which can be used for normal to oily combination skin.

Overall I didn’t find it much worth spending so much on clay mousse but its surely convenient for application rather than digging it from a jar. It only helped me when I used with peeling jelly or scrub. I had got a travel size toner and volcanic clay face wash which I am going to carry it during my travelling. So when you get a kit in 1450/-INR its worth.

PRICE- 1450/-INR

Rating- B

And finally we come to the most important JEJU VOLCANIC PORE TONER.

This toner comes in a see through brown plastic bottle. I have seriously took a risk purchasing this big size bottle as they had no sample size. Also I was in much need of toner I had to get this. Now this toner is for normal to combination skin it has beautiful refreshing fragrance to it which normally alcohol based toners don’t have. I like a toner which has alcohol because it helps clear my skin.

This toner contains volcanic ash which can be seen through bottle. Its very mild toner and even if you have sensitive skin you can use it. It didn’t cause me any problems like sticky feeling or any oiliness, redness etc. For now I am loving to use this as it doesn’t make my skin dry. But I don’t think it will be of great help for me in humid weather. This helps to minimize your pores but not to clear out your acne. So it doesn’t protect your skin from break outs. But definitely it helps to control excessive sebum for softer skin. I have a combination skin and I have to use a moisturizer after using this toner. It helps in removing left over makeup and impurities.

Overall I would recommend this product for if you have enlarged pores. Well I don’t have much pores so cant say that it really helps minimizing pore size. It does the job of normal toner it very gentle on skin inspite of alcohol in it which is really good. For me price does matter and I will be able to say whether its worth it or not only when I complete half the bottle. This bottle will last you for 3 months you just need to soak the cotton and apply it on your face after washing. It also has nozzle in bottle for controlled product dispense.
