Elle 18 Color boost lipstick Review

00:46:00

Hey everyone

Recently I bought newly launched Elle 18 color boost lipsticks. This is my first experience with Elle 18 lipsticks. I was watching add of Anushka Sharma and decided to try them out. Looking at the price I purchased 5 shades. There are 10 shades available in this range but most of them I couldn’t get as they were out of stock. I will be reviewing 5 shades from color boost range today.

Product Description

With its special dual core lipstick format, Elle 18 Colour Boost gives you 6 hours of non-stop lip colour! Enjoy its creamy, soft texture enriched with extra moisturising cocoa butter in 10 amazing shades. Pout non-stop with Colour Boost’s non-stop lip drama!

I think according to price this are the cheapest lipsticks I have ever bought till date. I mean 150 bucks for such great colors truly amazing. They didn’t have any testers I just looked into the shade card and got this shades. I was not having any idea how they will turn out to be.

The packaging of lipsticks is quite girlie having bright pink cover and black tube. They have shade name and no. mentioned at bottom of lipstick.

The packaging is not travel friendly and you have to handle with care as lipstick can easily break from the bullet.

Previously elle 18 lipstick had lip balm core now they have colored core. This lipsticks are quite moisturizing. They have cocoa butter which will help your lips stay soft and supple. Color pay off is excellent. Glides on smoothly evenly without need of swiping it more than once. The texture is quite soft and creamy. They feel light on lips giving good amount of pigmentation. This lipsticks claim to stay for 6 hrs which was not true. They lasted for around 3-4 hrs which is quite good. Darker shades leaves stain on lips. This lipsticks are not transfer proof or kiss proof.

They have this sweet kind of vanilla fragrance which is quite strong and lasts for some time. I don't have any problem with that but some of you don't prefer fragrance in lipstick. They don’t bleed or smudge or accentuate fine lines. Lighter shades need multiple swipes for even application.

Overall recommended but not easily available and have to be careful with the packaging. They are still not available online. Teenage girls can definitely go for this inexpensive yet beautiful lipsticks. Totally impressed by the quality of lipstick.

MY CURRENT SKIN CARE ESSENTIALS AVENE CLEANANCE GEL

12:19:00

Hello Angels,

Monsoon is already here and July first week is almost over. Well this is the time when most of them suffer from skin problems due to humidity. My skin has also currently started breaking out. I think this issues are very common in humid climate. I am totally loyal to my Clinique skin care products and have been using it for years now. But recently it has just stopped working on my skin. So I had to get myself new face wash and something which keeps me hydrated in humid weather. I recently discovered AVENE CLEANANCE GEL AND THERMAL SPRING WATER SPRAY are the two products which are much talked about everywhere. This made me more eager to try them out for my skin care. As much as i love makeup i love skin care products too. I think taking care of your skin with right products is most essential. This is going to be my first product from AVENE Brand and they are known for best quality skin care products. My Skin is combination and during such weather my T zone gets more oily and i usually end up with 2-3 breakouts.

AVENE CLEANANCE GEL CLAIMS-

The sebum and oil production are inhibited and the bacteria responsible for blemishes is diminished, resulting in healthy, blemish-free skin.
Effective on minute as well as adult acne.
Keeps blemishes and acne at bay while making your skin clearer everyday!

I have been using this product since a week and observing before I get to write about it. Avene Cleanance gel is a soap free cleanser which is ocean blue color gel comes in a plastic bottle packaging. This product is basically for normal to combination or oily skin. After a week with this cleanser it was worth single penny. I have used twice a day regularly and i can definitely see how it changed my skin. My skin is right now almost pimple free. My all pimples on chin are dried out. Though it doesn’t reduce blackheads from my nose my whiteheads have certainly reduced. There is no other pimple formation after that. It’s a very mild fragrance free gel having more water like consistency. You need very little quantity every time so this bottle will last you almost for 3 months. I am simply in love with this product. It can be used by sensitive skin also. It lathers well but not much like other face wash. After washing my skin looks soft and clean but my cheeks feel dry. So I recommend spraying thermal spring water from their range. Again its one of the amazing products I can get. I have got small size in it as I can even use it for travelling. Every time I wash my face I spray this it completely makes my skin cool calm and gives soothing effect. It tends to hydrate your skin. I wont completely recommend Cleanance gel for dry skin but for acne prone skin and those who wants to prevent acne this is currently best product you can have. It will start working from the very first day.

How to use Thermal spring water?

Spray onto the skin in a fine mist. You will need 2-3 spray to cover your entire face. Leave on for 2 to 3 minutes, then gently pat dry. Spray on as often as necessary.

The thermal spring water can also be used for psoriasis, eczema, atopic dermatitis. I have recently started using this before I put any makeup. I don't recommend using it after makeup as its not a setting spray. Both products are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. This products are Preservative Free. Overall Cleanance gel recommended for combination oily and acne prone skin . THERMAL SPRING WATER is a must have and recommended for every skin type.

TRIED AND TESTED NARS DUAL INTENSITY BLUSH IN ADORATION

00:48:00

Hello beauty lovers.

Fact about me I am obsessed with Nars cosmetics. Its because I love the way they get something new every time with their product. After their successful Dual Intensity eyeshadow they came up with NARS DUAL INTENSITY blush which has a unique formula that can be used as wet and dry both ways. There are 6 shades available and I have one of them. Each of the blush comprises of two cheek colors. Yes the only trouble we all face with its packaging is that they are black matte and can really get messy if not kept separated from other makeup stuff.

I was wanting this product from the day I saw Huda Kattan my favourite makeup guru talking about this in her video wish I could get this blush here in India. But finally the wait is over and my aunt recently got me NARS dual intensity blush in shade ADORATION. Yessss thats so exciting!!!! This product looks amazzingg. I think I should be having more shades in this range. This blush are highly pigmented and come in usual square black compact with mirror.

The packaging is travel friendly and definitely gives a luxurious feel to it. This blushes do not contain chunks of shimmer or glitter they are very finely milled compact powder. Adoration is blush having two colors in it one is Light Pink used as highlighter and other is a Deep Pink used as blush. Its basically cool tone blush and I am absolutely in love with this shade i feel it can go on almost every skin tone. Don't worry about cool tone i am pretty sure even if you medium or dark tone it will work well. This blushes can also be used as eyeshdows like you can use the highlighter shade on your brow bone or inner corner of eyes. You can even use both the colors on cheeks together to give a nice glow. This blush can be used in dry as well as wet form. The texture of blush are like satin which blends smoothly on skin.

When you apply with wet brush it gives maximum opacity. I prefer using it dry as in wet there is lot of metallic effect and it can also enhance your pores i would recommend this only when you going for parties. In dry Pigmentation is good enough and its build-able. On my fair skin I don’t have to layer it much. The highlighter gives very nice sheen to cheeks.

When applied dry this blush lasts for 6-7 hrs and when you apply wet it will stay on for more hrs.

Overall recommended I think everyone should try this blush its worth the price you get a blush and highlighter both in just one compact and the product will last for much long time . There are no cons about this blush.

Have you tried this blushes tell me which shade did you like most?
