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.

NEW LAKME ABSOLUTE ILUMINATING FOUNDATION REVIEW

11:36:00

Hello angels,

I was first confused when I saw Lakme absolute illuminating foundation because previously they had same packaging for white intense foundation and I still remember it was available only in 3 shades. Well here it’s the same story it has only 4 shades and when your fair toned only option for you here is Ivory Glow. Ivory glow is best suited for fair skin tone with cool undertones. But as there are no more option for fair skin this can go on warm tones too.

Now the packaging is very similar to their absolute range it comes in black glossy bottle. It has a pump which is best part. The pump helps to dispense right amount of product without any wastage. I usually need 2 complete pumps for my face & neck.

This foundation has almost similar texture and formula to white intense except I noticed some golden shimmer particles. This particles I believe is to make your skin illuminating and add some glow to face. This shimmer particles are very small and hardly anyone can notice it. Its liquid in consistency but not so watery when blended it almost feels like light weight gel based foundation. It blends effortlessly on skin. Previously white intense was giving a semi matte effect to face. And I had to use a moisturizer as it was bit drying for my skin. When compared to illuminating I like the texture far more than white intense. This foundation is not as drying as white intense but if you have normal to dry skin you still need to use your moisturizer. It gives natural glow to face. Its not a dewy foundation but imparts that glowy effect to skin. It feels ultra light and smooth on skin. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy after few hrs of application. Its comfortable to wear for whole day. For sensitive nose it has a citrus smell in it which can be bothersome. I personally love this citrus smell infact I am obsessed with this fragrance. It has pretty good staying power without having to use primer. It stays in place for 5 hrs. You really don’t need any loose powder to set as it can make it look like matte. This foundation can be used by oily skin too as its not dewy. If you are scare of this shimmer particles don’t worry it s not visible on face even after removing the complete foundation. This foundation is good to use in hot humid climate too. It has medium coverage which can be buildable. It covers pores and acne marks to some extent. It doesn’t contain spf at all so its great for flash photography.

It doesn’t settle into fine lines or crease around nose if you apply primer its going to stay for longer. Overall I liked the look it’s a natural illuminating foundation. My skin looks brighter and flawless after applying this. Only I am worried about is for dry skin it can look patchy or foundation can cling to dry patches.

For me choosing from just 4 shades is very limited I wish Lakme bring up more shades. Price is affordable when compared to L’Oreal Revlon or mac. The formula could be more dewy but for combination skin this goes well for everyday use too.
