YVES ROCHER APRICOT FRUIT SCRUB & NOURISHING LIP BALM REVIEW

08:50:00

HELLO ANGELS,

I had a lovely weekend hope you all had too!!! Recently I have been trying out this brand Yves Rocher. I had no clue about how this product works but while searching for some lip balms. I got an eye on this brand and bought two of its products Yves Rocher Lip Balm in CERSIE and Apricot Fruit Scrub.

I am using this two products since few days I am really happy to share my experience with you all.

The Cerise lip balm is cherry flavoured lip balm which comes in a white attractive tube packaging. They have got some of the other flavours too like Vanilla and Strawberry. It doesn’t smell like bunch of cherries but it has a very mild cherry fragrance to it. Its a tinted lip balm so it delivers pinkish red subtle tint to lips. For pigmented lips it can just be like non colored lip balms won't help in giving much tint to lips. And so I was expecting it to be more pigmented as it appeared in tube as dark cherry shade. it doesn’t contain spf. The formula was bit disappointing for me. Its a nourishing lip balm but still lacks moisturizing properties. It contains Shea butter and macadamia oil but it lacked creamy texture. The texture was soft and it glides on well. But I felt they were bit slippery on lips. I wanted something thicker and which cling on my lips for long. It didn’t provide much hydration or nourishment. Though my lips felt soft initially when applied. But it doesn’t stay for more den 1 hr. And so you need to apply them again and again. The only positive point about this lip balm was that its tinted. It was well tinted for getting red tint on lips. But my hopes were high with the formula and texture of it. It give light sheen finish to lips.

I would rather use this lip balm under some lipstick. It doesn’t heal dry or cracked lips. The formula just gives you temporary soft & smooth lips.

Overall I am not so impressed with this lip balms. But if you are just looking for light moisturizing formula and some pinkish red tint then you can definitely try them.

Lets take a look at this apricot scrub. It comes as orange yellow colored scrub with granules. This scrub is not soft on skin but not harsh too. The tube is quite handy you can carry easily while travelling. You get 50ml in 400INR which is bit expensive. But after using this scrub I am totally taken away with the formula. If you don’t have dry or sensitive skin u can use this daily. It helped in removing most of my blackheads and whiteheads. After using this my skin felt soft and smooth. It just helps me clear all my left over makeup dirt and pollution which doesn't come off with cleansers. It does have a sweet mild smell. My skin never feels so silky or clear after using just a face wash.

Overall totally impressed with this fruity apricot scrub. I absolutely loved the formula its smell and more over how it leaves my skin fresh and soft. And it was a perfect to use in such a humid climate especially when I have a combination skin. It really worked well in exfoliating my skin. Have you tried Yves Rocher skin care products whats your opinion on that?

L’OREAL TRUE MATCH GENIUS 4 IN 1 FOUNDATION REVIEW SWATCHES

08:20:00

HELLO MY ANGELS,

Its been a while since I reviewed any foundation based products. I was not keeping well since few days. With the rainy season around I think this is the only time of year which really scares me. But now I am recovering and so I decided to finally review this amazing new products from L'oreal. This is just recently launched in India its with me since few days but never really got a chance to talk about it hopefully I will be able to post soon. So from this new range I picked up True Match Genius 4 IN 1 Foundation and 3 Genius Balm lipsticks. I know you all must be excited to know more about this lipsticks so I will be reviewing them on my next post.

There are hardly any drugstore foundation which are cream based and convenient to use. So my only motive to pick this foundation was easy to apply easy to use easy to carry and just saving lot of time.

So this 4in1 foundation comes in a rectangular plastic sleek compact. With a half size mirror inside and a sponge applicator. I picked up N1 Nude Ivory shade which is for fair skin having warm tones. I don’t prefer applying them with sponge applicator as most of the applicator takes a whole lot of product and very less is transferred on skin.

This is a cream based thick foundation which also act as primer concelar and powder. So its like all in one and you may not need anything else over this. Its a medium coverage foundation. And if you have oily skin I would say that you need to put some loose powder. Well this is good for dry and normal to combination skin. It blends easily into skin. I usually blend it with my fingers or flat brush or even oval spoon brushes. You can easily build the product for getting full coverage. This foundation gives semi matte finish but doesn’t make you look dull it just brightens and gives natural glow. It covers the pores redness and most of the marks. It evens out my skin tone well. You can also use them under your eyes for concealing by just taping it. As I have a combination skin after few hrs I did notice that my T-zone was shiny. So if you want complete matte look you probably need to dust some loose powder. But if you like some dewy look this much shine wont bother you. I am not a fan of flat matte look so I loved this cream formula. It doesn’t clog my pores. It’s a great product to carry in your bag its so easy to get a touch up.

I am happy with the shade it goes well on my skin. I am really impressed with the formula its something we all need to have. Its like you can have your foundation on the go. There are many shades available for different skin tones so you can try them and find a perfect match for your skin.
OVERALL RECOMMENDED

NEW L’oreal GLAM BRONZE LA TERRA REVIEW

02:26:00

Hello beauty lovers,

As you all know that I was on a holiday and from my recent trip to UAE I found something new on l’oreal counters at Boots Pharmacy. I found this amazing Glam Bronze La Terra in shade 02 it was a full big disc size compact which looked so attractive. First of all I am totally loving bronzers dis days this is a perfect shade for fair to light skin tones. I love that it gives me sun kissed glow without making me look so tanned. Also I love using bronzers without any blushers or highlighters. Recently I have been using less of contouring powders and more of bronzers. I also use bobbi brown bronzing brick. Bronzers can be used on everyday basis it doesn’t appeal much like blush so I prefer using them often.

Also this compact had some engraved design on powder which made it more appealing. I didn’t seem like some drugstore brand although it felt more like some high end brand bronzer.

You need very little quantity as its too pigmented and if you fair to light skin you just need to take some on brush dust it and then apply it. So you wont end up looking muddy. This bronzers can be used for body also. It has long lasting power. Stays well even when used in humid weathers. Color pigmentation is excellent. First it looked like matte but it had very little flecks of glitter which helped in giving a natural sun kissed glow.

Most of the bronzers are cool tone matte brown and can be used for contouring but this one has orangish warm tones which makes it good to use as bronzer. When you are in hurry bronzer is easy to use rather than going for full contouring of face.

I highly recommend this bronzer especially for summers. Or if you love some sun kissed glowy skin for everyday. Its one of the best drugstore bronzers I have come across. Do let me know how you find them I would be happy to know?
TIP Did you know you can use bronzers under your eyes beneath concelar to correct dark circles also you can use to makeup your light concelar a perfect shade for you.

NEW REVLON PHOTOREADY INSTA FIX REVIEW

12:32:00

REVLON PHOTO READY INSTA FIX VANILLA

Hello gals,

Happy valentines weekend angels. How many of you like wearing foundation on everyday basis especially when spring is around the corner. I personally don’t like wearing foundations on daily basis but if I get something easy and handy to use I can easily replace them with my foundations. So instead of going for bb creams and compact foundations i went for photo ready insta fix. Revlon has launched Photo Ready Insta Fix Foundation stick having spf 20. This foundation stick comes in black glossy tube with transparent lid. They have only 4 shades available which is kinda biggest drawback for this product. How did i choose my shade.. I had no option to choose but the lightest shade among them which was vanilla. This shade is a bit light for me and its more on yellow tone. I have pink undertones so this shade is not a perfect match for me but it kind a works for my routine. This stick is very easy to use and easy to carry. I will be soon posting my pik wearing insta fix on my instagram.

Description-

Revlon creates the instant skin retouch-er. Light-Filtering Technology gives skin an instantly perfected, retouched look. Use all over the face, to conceal flaws, or for touch ups Anytime, Anywhere.

If you need something which is not greasy or heavy and gives you natural coverage then photo ready insta fix is one of them. This foundation has light to medium coverage but you can layer them off for getting more coverage.

I was quite surprise as I had not expected it to blend on my combination skin so easily. But it blended in so well that I hardly had to use moisturiser or drag them over my face. I think this foundation will be great for combination to oily skin. Though dry skin can also use this provided your skin is well moisturised. The application is smooth and it can also be used for touchups especially to smaller areas. Well I don’t feel need for using concealer when I am using this foundation. It doesn’t make my skin oily or greasy. I was also happy that this foundation stayed well on for 6-7 hrs. It also contains spf 20 you can use this product for daily basis. If you have acne marks this alone is not gonna work you will need to apply concelar. It can not be used for camouflaging dark circles or acne marks. I usually like blending this with my fingers itself. When I have a dry skin it becomes little difficult in blending and gives me uneven patchy look .. I avoid using brush for this reason as fingers give me more even application. Here the problem comes with limitation in choosing shades. You may definitely not find a perfect shade for you but you can choose anything which comes closest match to your skin tone. It hardly takes any time to blend this into skin.. it does not contain any fragrance. This is a neutral shade so vanilla can work for fair skin tones having yellow or pink undertones more likely for yellow undertones. Except for the shade range I am quite satisfied with Revlon photo-ready insta fix. I like using this as for my everyday foundation routine. It saves my time and given me very natural looking face. This also gives you a semi matte finish but when applied with moisturiser it gives me dewy finish. I only need powder for my t-zone. I am happy with the coverage and Vanilla shade. The packaging is durable and portable. Its just like any other foundation but in form of stick and its not so sticky or creamy in texture its more like solid but once on skin blends nicely. I found the price is bit on higher side.

OVERALL RECOMMENDED you can use this stick any where any time. If you want something to carry in your bag for instant touch up or fixing your flaws on the go this is what you need. Have you tried insta fix from revlon? What you think about it share your comments below.
