LOREAL PARIS PURE CLAY MASK EXFOLIATE AND REFINING TREATMENT MASK REVIEW

02:39:00

Hello beauties,

Hope you all doing fine..I have been busy with lots of new thing well I hardly find time to post.. my skin is been affected badly with this summer heat I am trying to incorporate some new products in my routine. Hopefully I can get a better skin by end of summer. As you all know I have a combination skin and its very difficult to maintain it especially when you love doing makeup. I try as much as possible to keep my skin clean. Recently when I saw some amazing masks at loreal counter I was bit surprised like loreal is getting into some clay masks.. I really thought of picking up one. Its LOREAL RED CLAY MASK known FOR ITS EXFOLIATE AND REFINING TREATMENT.

I usually love clay masks especially which are meant for clearing up my pores and giving a clean healthy soft skin. There are 3 variants PURIFY & MATTIFY GREEN ALGAE MASK, EXFOLIATE & REFINE RED ALGAE MASK AND DETOX & BRIGHTEN CHARCOAL MASK.

The main packaging is in a cardboard box with mint green and peachy color the product comes in a glass jar packaging with a mint green color cap.

The glass jar is heavy and looks sturdy the cap fits perfectly so the product doesn’t dry out. When you open the jar you see a peachy red color clay which is made from red algae. It has beautiful fragrance. Its so fresh& pleasing I wish I could smell it whole day.

This mask is not only for detox but also for exfoliation and so it contains small granules which help to get rid of dead skin, blackheads whitehead. I apply thin layer of mask directly from the tub without mixing it with anything else. It doesn’t dry out like other clay masks which make your skin feel stretchy. After application I did felt heat sensation around my lips which lasted for few seconds.But there was no burning, redness or irritation of skin. It leaves my skin so soft and hydrated. I totally loved using this mask I keep it for 10-15 mins and then removed while rubbing it in circular motion. Once you have washed off it gives your skin a healthy glow. My skin looks much softer and smoother. They have recommended to use thrice a week but I will be using it just once a week or whenever required. It takes away all the dirt oil and impurities. It removes my all dead cells. I could instantly feel the difference. I loved how my skin felt after washing off the mask. I am definitely looking forward to try some other mask in this range, it takes off my black heads and whiteheads too. I don’t have to separately use a scrub as this product is 2 in1 and saves lot of time. Also it can be carried for holidays when you just want your skin to look clear & perfect.

Overall recommended. This is a perfect mask for all skin types who needs a proper exfoliation. It can be used even for acne prone skin. Girls who have trouble of enlarged pores can try this out as it definitely helps to minimize them.

Well it doesn't provide any whitening effect. But it definitely keeps your skin glowing.
Have you tried any of this masks? what's your take on the product let me know in comments below.

MAYBELLINE DREAM CUSHION FRESH FACE LIQUID FOUNDATION REVIEW

10:07:00

Hello angels,

Have you ever tried Maybelline BB cushion? Last week they have launched something similar to it which is known as DREAM CUSHION FRESH LIQUID FOUNDATION. I am really excited to try this product. Its for first time I have come across this unique technology a cushion with liquid foundation.Now there are 6 shades available in this range and so you can get any shade matching to your skin tone. I got Natural Ivory shade that was the closest match to my skin tone.

The packaging looks quite similar to BB cushion infact its quite confusing it comes in white round shaped chunky compact with double lid. When you open it there is full size mirror on one side and a puff applicator which is use for dabbing the foundation on to face. When you open secondary lid there is sponge soaked in liquid foundation. So all you need to do is dab your applicator on sponge and apply on your face its easy and travel friendly. I use to love using bb cushion formula for everyday and I expect it to be more like it with little more coverage and here it is. The texture is creamier than I expected it to be it blends beautifully without having to use any moisturizer. Its ultra light weight and works well on normal to combination skin. It gives a luminous skin finish. On application it brightens my complexion and looks fresh. The formula provides enough hydration without making it look oily or dull. Oily skin users can dab some loose powder after application while dry skin users can apply a lightweight moisturiser for smooth and even application. The consistency of the formula is thin. It gives medium coverage which helps to blur out pores and covers some of the marks. After few hrs of application I could see some crease lines around my nose where you probably need to touch up with some loose powder. It almost feels like skin even when applied for long hrs. Doesn’t budge or settle into fine lines. It’s a fragrance free product. You need very little quantity for entire face and neck area. So the product will last longer than you expect. You can build the product as you desire for. You cant refill the sponge. Also it contains SPF20 so its ok to not wear extra spf.

Overall recommended. I love using such formulas on my daily basis also it’s a drugstore product which comes at affordable price. Its much reasonably priced when compared to Maybelline BB cushion. There are 6 shades available which makes is suitable for all skin tones. It’s a fresh liquid foundation on the go.

Natural ivory is for fair skin tone having neutral undertones like MAC NC 25.
Have you tried BB CUSHION OR DREAM CUSHION FRESH FACE which one do you think is better?

NEW CLINIQUE PEP START 2IN1 EXFOLIATING CLEANSER AND MOISTURE SURGE EXTENDED THIRST RELIEF GEL CREAM REVIEW

00:14:00

Hello gals,

To all of you who doesn't know I am a huge fan of Clinique skin care products. Over the years it has helped my skin stay healthy and better. Whenever I switch my products to some other brand I have always got back to Clinique.

If I wouldn’t have to try so many new brands I would definitely use Clinique for my whole life.

So now you can imagine how excited I am to try their NEW skin care product CLINIQUE PEP START 2in1 EXFOLIATING CLEANSER which comes in a bright fuchsia pink tube. The packaging is completely eye catching to me. Along with the cleanser they also have a eye cream and moisturizer which I will be trying out soon.The entire range has a bright colorful packaging perfect for summer. Another product that I will be reviewing today is MOISTURE SURGE EXTENDED THIRST RELIEF GEL CREAM its not a new launch but a must have for girls having oily to combination skin especially during summers. As summer is around I needed a light moisturiser which not only gives a proper hydration to my skin at the same time its light in texture and absorbs quickly into skin.

This moisturizer comes in a glass jar with silver cap it’s a pale pink color cream gel having a watery consistency.

Instantly when applied it gives a cooling sensation to skin which is great for summer. Normal, combination to oily skin everyone can use this. I have a combination skin and I need very little quantity of product for entire face and neck. It has no fragrance so if you have sensitive skin you can try it out.

This gel based cream quickly absorbs into my skin giving complete hydration. My skin feels non greasy non sticky even after hrs of application. The texture feels so light it almost feels like nothing has been applied on my skin. I am comfortable wearing them under my foundations. For dry to normal skin this won’t provide you enough hydration except for on hot summer days.

I recently saw famous you tube beauty blogger Jaclyn hill she said the foundation can blend like a dream on this moisturizer and so I had to try it out. I wanted to know how it feels. And of course it did my foundation blends like a dream on this moisturizer. It gives me a well hydrated plump skin. Also it adds glow to my face. I am totally loving this product for now. It doesn’t contain spf so if you using for day time you need to have additional spf in your product. It doesn't give me any breakouts even on most hot humid days.

Now lets talk about the the Clinique pep start 2in1 exfoliating cleanser its a gel based cleanser having tiny grains which help in exfoliating your dead cells.

This cleanser works for removing makeup as well as dead skin cells and so it’s a 2in1 face wash. I started using this in my night skin care routine and I am loving it. I can’t explain how it helps my skin to eliminate all dirt makeup pollution etc..

It makes my skin feel dry and tighter but I am okay with until and unless it helps clear my skin.

Well for dry skin its going to suck the moisture from your skin but you can restore it with a good moisturizing night cream.

Here when you massage the gel it breaks down to give you a foaming cleanser. But at the same time it also acts like a scrub so there is a perfect balance of two which Is why I loved using this formula.

It’s a very good product for gals who wants double cleansing and if you are heavy makeup user.

After washing my face it gives a squeaky clean feel to skin. My skin feels so smooth and eliminates all whiteheads black heads. It removes all dullness and dead skin which is very necessary if you are exposed to pollution dirt and constant use of makeup. This cleanser is not so harsh so its ok to use every single day. it will help in imparting glow to your skin when used on regular basis.

Overall recommended I am very happy with both the products. I generally like using a proper night cream after a exfoliation but if you have a oily or acne prone skin you can use a Moisture surge gel cream which will provide you enough hydration without making your skin oily also it will help your skin stay fresh for long hrs.
Tell me one of your favourite skin care product which you swear by?

BODY SHOP VITAMIN C GLOW BOOSTING MOISTURISER REVIEW

12:37:00

Hey angels,

I am currently obsessed with the most amazing two products form The Body Shop its VITAMIN C GLOW BOOSTING MOISTURISER AND PINITA COLADA BODY BUTTER. Like after using this two products I feel like where was I till now and why I didn't get them long back. But gals Its never too late and we are always on search of trying better and better products.

So firstly I am going to talk about VITAMIN C GLOW BOOSTING MOISTURISER. You must have seen many beauty bloggers and makeup artist using this product. While getting this moisturiser I thought it was quite pricey but after using it I feel absolutely worth spending every penny on it. It comes in beautiful orange jar with black cap when you open the jar you will be surprised to see that it’s a not an ideal white rich cream but a fresh citrus fragranced gel based cream having a orange tint of color.

This can be used in day as well as night routine. As its a glow boosting moisturizer apply it before makeup and it will add glow to your skin. This moisturizer is water based which makes it perfect for hot humid weathers. Also its great for normal to combination skin. It leaves my skin so fresh and hydrated. I love moisturizer which are so infused with citrus fruits as they are great antioxidant protect your skin and help them brighten up. It just makes my skin glow its non greasy and absorbs quickly into skin. The formula is light weight and has a sweet citrus fragrance to it.

For acne prone or oily skin this could be bit heavier and can give you break out so you need to try them out. For dry skin if you need something light moisturising this could be good enough. Also it keeps my skin hydrated for whole day. If your skin feels dull tired and grumpy and looking for a gel based moisturizer this one is worth to try.

PRICE 2295/-INR

Now lets talk about BODY BUTTER PINITA COLADA.

When you hear Pinita coloda it immediately transports you to some tropical island where you sipping into Pina colada a mixture of fresh coconut and pineapple mocktail. This comes in a big round plastic jar with Pinita coloda written over it. It’s a jar of rich body cream.

This body butter is totally moisturizing and I love using in night routine. It totally blends into skin and is non greasy. The formula is rich in texture as well as in smell. It totally smells like Pina coloda. The freshness of pineapple is more than the coconut. I am glad as pineapple is my favorite where I don’t like coconut much. The smell lasts for about sometime until you fall asleep dreaming of some Caribbean island. Next morning my skin feels soft and supple well hydrated.
Overall recommended totally obsessed with this two products.
