FOREST ESSENTIAL DELICATE FACIAL CLEANSER KASHIMIRI SAFFRON & NEEM REVIEW

06:16:00

Hello everyone,

I had a eye on this cleanser for a very long time and I have been seriously waiting to try it. I have used lots of products from Forest Essential but never tried their cleanser.

This product has already got best of reviews and so now I am going to add my personal experience with it.

I had really high expectations &...& it didn’t disappoint me at all. Usually I never repeat my face wash. I remember except for Clinique I have never got a chance to repeat any of face wash. And now when I have been using this cleanser for a week I am always finding an excuse to wash my face with it. I am definitely going to remember b this cleanser and repeat it.

So this face wash comes in plastic clear bottle with a pump and cap. I have got the bigger size which is for 200ml. You can also get smaller version for trial or if you want to carry it while travelling. Its suitable for all skin types but preferably for normal to combination. Its a amber colored liquid cleanser which is almost like gel thicker in consistency.

Ingredients: Aqua, glycerine, calendula officinalis, Kumud flower extract, Kewada leaf extract, Jasmine flower oil,Lemon juice,Organic honey,Neem leaf extract, Nagkesar, Anantmool, Saffron Extract, vitamin E.

You just need one pump for entire face and neck. It gives mild lather to face I liked how it helped cleanse my face. My skin felt softer fresh and glowing. It doesn’t make my skin dry as I have a combination skin it keeps my face fresh for only 2-3 hrs then I start noticing oil over my tzone. This bottle will last you for very long time. It has all the natural ingredients like neem and saffron which helps in purifying skin at same time giving a glow. It doesn’t cause me any breakouts. So if you have tendency to break out you should try this as neem will help to clear bacteria in your skin without stripping of your natural oils. I never feel like applying moisturizer after this face wash. Some of the face wash make your skin tight and dry where you need to put some moisturizer they strip of all the natural oils from skin which is not really good. This cleanser has no parabens no artificial fragrance and no sulphate.

It also helps you remove light makeup but I always prefer taking off my makeup and then cleansing with this face wash.

I totally recommend this after Clinique face wash this has been the best for my skin. Its so pure and gentle and I also liked the fragrance as its of natural ingredients like neem and saffron but felt little stronger. Some of them may not like as its reminds of pure Ayurvedic medicated face wash. But still I love using it. Its up to my expectations and I look forward to try more cleansers from forest essentials. Everyone needs to try this cleanser at least once.

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.

NEW BASIC MAKEUP ROUTINE OLAY, LAKME CC CREAM & LOREAL

11:07:00

Hello angels,

Hope you all doing well. If you love reading my blogs you can follow me on Instagram and twitter.

Today I am going to do something different usually I review latest makeup or skin care products but now I am going to talk about 3 products which has recently been added to my daily basic makeup routine. This 3 products are new and currently I love using them OLAY Total Effects light weight anti ageing cream, LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE 12 hr foundation and LAKME COLOR CHANGE CC CREAM.

So FIRST product I am going to talk about is Olay total effects 7 light weight anti ageing cream.

Now for all those who don’t know I am a huge fan of Olay. If I wouldn’t be blogger I would never switch to any other products and would just use Olay. OLAY has been with me since years and it has always helped my skin look better. Now as you know Olay anti ageing cram had a thick texture which wasn’t good enough for oily or combination skin. So they have come up with light weight texture which can be used by many skin types lets find out how it works. This cream comes in long cylindrical tube white and black is a standard packaging for most of Olay products. It has a pump which makes it easy to dispense the product. The first thing I noticed was a fragrance which was totally different from previous one also the cream was much thinner in consistency and white in color. I felt it was more like a lotion then cream. I have a combination skin so one pump was enough for my face. Its definitely light in texture and easy to blend. Still its quite moisturizing and after putting on foundation it gives you glowy look. This would work best for normal to combination skin also it would be great for all season. So after application my skin felt hydrated and well nourished it didn't look dull or oily But after few hrs it did made my t zone shiny so I thought of using a matte foundation or some loose powder over it. I wouldn’t suggest this for oily skin because its not a gel based and its like a lotion which can clog pores. if you are prone to acne this wouldn't be the right product for your skin. It does contain spf 15.

PRICE- OLAY TOTAL EFFECTS LIGHT WEIGHT CREAM

Second product is L'OREAL 12hr Mat magique foundation which I have already reviewed the link is here. LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE FOUNDATION It has turned out to be my everyday favorite foundation. I do pair it up with my Olay cream so that I get a natural glowy skin. Rather than semi matte effect.

Another product which I recently bought was LAKME COLOR CHANGE CC CREAM.

This cream comes in white color tube. It contains spf 30 which is really good for everyday use. It comes in two shades beige and bronze. I picked up beige for my skin tone. If you have natural to fair skin you can opt for beige. This cream is white in color but as soon as you blend into skin it just changes its color to beige which looks well blended on skin. After application your skin looks brighter and naturally even toned. It has a very light coverage so if you have great skin you don’t need to layer it with foundation or concelar. I usually apply loose mineral powder over this. Its like a everyday product where you don't need any coverage and still want your skin too look even toned and well moisturized. This product is also good for dull and dry skin. Again for oily skin its quite moisturizing so it may give you dewy finish. After application make sure you mattify your t zone area. The tube is very easy to carry so you can always carry them in your bag and apply it whenever you want. Also you can use this product with concelar for more coverage and better looking skin. It doesn't cover any marks or dark circles. In a way its a very good product for college going girls and also who would love to look natural on daily basis.

BURTS BEES LIPBALM & BURTS BEES LIP CRAYON NAPA VINEYARD REVIEW

01:32:00

Hey angels,

I have heard much about Burts Bees lip balm as 100% bees wax lip balm. But as they had lots of flavours I was really confused to pick only 1-2 so I went on amazon and found the pack of 4 which had following flavour’s Coconut and pear, Mango, Pink Grapefruit and my favorite Pomegranate.

So among this only Pomegranate is tinted lip balm but nothing like Maybelline’s color baby lips. They just have hint of color in it which almost gives a natural Pink color to your lips.

This lip balms come in usual twist up yellow plastic tubes which is convenient to use for travelling. All of the 4 lip balms are moisturizing and are 100% natural.

COCONUT AND PEAR

This lip balm has no tint and has got very faint smell of coconut. I was disappointed as I love my lip balms to be rich in flavours especially if they are fruit flavoured but here I couldn’t find that. In terms of moisturizing it keeps my lips hydrated for 4 hrs. They are not hard as some of the lip balms nor so slippery it almost melts on lips when you start applying. This lip balms don’t have thick texture so I would suggest them using on dry lips and not on chapped lips. Due to lack of fragrance it almost felt like wax and didn’t attracted me much.

Though if you are sensitive to smell this one could be for you.

MANGO

Its almost same like coconut and pear. Only thing here is the fragrance again it’s a very faint smell of mango which doesn't last at all. I could barely recognize as mango flavoured balm. You need to swipe 2-3 time to get desired amount of hydration.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT

It’s a light cream yellow color lip balm it smells almost like pink grape fruit. I liked its smell it was refreshening. It doesn't give any color to lips. But the fragrance lasts for sometime.

POMEGRANATE

This is the only lip balm which is my favorite and I love using it. It smells like pomegranate which lasts for some time. It gives your lips not only softness and suppleness but also some natural pink color.

Don’t go for the color in the tube they are not so pigmented but as usual lip balms are made sheer.

Overall recommended because this are cruelty free and 100% natural lip balms so no parabens no preservatives and no artificial flavours. This will help your lips stay hydrated for a long time. It doesn't contain any spf. I am not sure whether it heals chapped lips but its definitely good to pick a natural lip balm. This are made up of 100%bees wax. I personally love lip balms which have that boost of flavour’s. But if I am getting something which is so natural and preservative free why not?
RATING B

Also girls you know how much I love lip crayons and chubby lipsticks. I have already mentioned that they are best to use while travelling. So when I saw burts bees had preservative free 100% natural lip crayons I already decided to pick up one and it was Napa Vineyard shade.

Before reviewing I just want to tell you this is going to be one of my favourite shades for this fall.

They have around 6 shades in this range and I was pretty taken away by the Napa Vineyard. The name reminds you of beautiful wine color from Napa valley. We come back to its packaging it has this transparent lid having honeycomb design over it. It comes in dark brown twist ups sticks like Revlon or Clinique

Napa vineyard is a cool tone Red shade. It has amazing pigmentation you just need one swipe of color. They stay on well for 7 hrs without smudging or bleeding.

This lipsticks have very light texture and the consistency feels some what like balm. Actually they are just like lipsticks which glide smoothly effortlessly and stay on lips for quite a long time. The finish is matte not powder matte but like a semi matte. It also leaves a soft red pink stain on lips. It doesn't contain any fragrance or flavour. Color pay off is excellent and in terms of opacity its too good for pigmented lips. I loved their texture, matte effect, and pigmentation. Also they are quite moisturizing to lips. Like after application it didn’t make my lips feel dry. If your lips are not well moisturized you may feel the formula bit drying. This are not transfer proof they do transfer little. They don't smudge or bleed also they don't accentuate fine lines.
OVERALL RECOMMENDED I am totally obsessed with this cool toned scarlet red. It can go on many skin tones. I am going to love using this lip crayon for fall.
