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?

NEW LAKME ABSOLUTE ARGAN OIL LIPSTICKS REVIEW

12:23:00

Hello beauties,

I have got something new and exciting today. Its lakme absolute Argan oil lipstick review which has been recently launched in LAKME FASHION WEEK 2017.

This lipsticks which are infused with rich moroccan argan oil is currently talk of the town. Designer Anita Dongre’s gold collection was completely inspired on lakme absolute liquid gold lipsticks. So 2017 is all about gold most of Indian girls love gold whether its for jewellery outfit or bags. And when it comes to makeup gold has always ruled for years.

This lipsticks are in glossy golden tube packaging to give a feel of liquid gold. They have a flat slant top like a lakme absolute matte lipsticks.

The packaging looks classy though its of plastic it doesn't give a cheap feel.

L-R SILK BLUSH, PEACHES AND CREAM, LUSH ROSE

The lipsticks are infused with argan oil which will help your lips stay moisturize for long time.

The texture is so creamy and soft glides effortlessly on lips. Darker shades gives even application while lighter shades needs multiple swipes for better coverage and application.

This lipsticks can be used on everyday basis as they will not dry out your lips and keep them hydrated. On application they feel glossy but after few mins They turn too satin finish having some shine to it. It gives complete opacity with 1-2 swipes but for lighter shades I like to layer them off. They have good color pay off. The formula is thick enough like lip balm to hold on to lips.

The formula feel light and comfortable to wear for whole day.They have a mild sweet fragrance which disappears on application.

Coming to staying power it needs touch ups if you eat or drink as they are more of creamy texture it tends to transfer little bit. This lipsticks are are rich in pigments some of the shades are very intense.

They don’t bleed or budge if you want them to stay longer use a lip pencil.

They neither accentuate fine lines nor the formula settles into fine lines.

This formula are non drying and doesn’t give any sticky or slippery feel to it.

Overall recommended I loved the shade range the texture formula feels so buttery on lips. I liked how effortlessly they glide on lips. The benefits of argan oil keep my lips moisturized for long time. My lips feel softer smoother and conditioned after using this lipsticks. This lipsticks are pricey and we get only 3.4gms but that’s ok because I find the formula great for summers when your lips already feel dry. Pick some neutral colors instead of tinted lip balms for this summer. Let me know which shade you would go for ? Have you tried them yet?

PRICE 750/-INR BUY NOW at NYKAA

LAKME ABSOLUTE ARGAN OIL LIPSTICKS are available in 15 shades which are suitable for Indian skin tones. The shades that I got are SILK BLUSH, PEACHES AND CREAM AND LUSH ROSE

SILK BLUSH is beautiful soft pink shade it’s a shade I like to wear on summer days.

3INA MAKEUP PRODUCTS HAUL REVIEW

00:21:00

3INA is a Spanish makeup brand which recently opened their first store in India, MUMBAI. 3INA is pronounced as MINA. This brand started its innovative beauty products last year itself. They have been opening stores worldwide. Looking at the store and products it reminds me of 3CE products which was Korean beauty brand. They have huge collection of lipsticks, foundations, eyeliners, color mascaras, cream shadows they have got all.

All products are very reasonably priced and I hope they don’t get pricey in future. So no one recommend this brand neither I have read any reviews this my complete experience with few products which I tried out at the store.

I got a matte lipstick, eye pencil with smudger, a cream eyeshadow pot and highlighter.

So all of the products comes in white cardboard box packaging with the product in black matte packaging

The packaging is decent, sturdy and travel friendly.

Lets start with the highlighter as this was first product I tried. It’s a rose gold kinda shade. There are no shade names for any product so its really confusing the no.is 200 for highlighter that I bought. Its a golden highlighter with pink tones. It comes in black square shape compact with no mirror or brush. It’s a powder based highlighter which is highly pigmented. The shade go well on my skin tone. I felt the texture could be more smooth and softer. Its not gritty doesn’t contain visible shimmer particles. It gives a nice soft glow to face when applied on cheekbones and on bridge of nose.
OVERALL RECOMMENDED its gives soft glow to skin and stays well for 6-7 hrs. also its very affordable so if you are new to the world of beauty this can be great pick for your vanity.
PRICE 850/-INR

Coming to matte lipstick I picked up shade no. 411 it’s a nude warm neutral shade which is suitable for lighter skin tones.

This lipstick looks more like a natural lip color to me. It’s a everyday shade and I love using it for work days. It comes in a black matte square tube. The lipstick doesn’t go completely inside and I am always worried to chip off the tip.

The formula is bit drying and they lack pigments. It gives a complete matte finish. It needs dragging which I didn’t like. The texture could be softer and more creamier. The color is not so intense and requires multiple application. it does give even application but it needs to tug. The formula doesn’t settle into fine lines. I felt like the formula was having more of wax and lack of pigments which I was not happy about. It was a disappointment as I had great expectation also when I swatched they were much smoother. The formula doesn’t bleed or smudge and lasts only for 3 hrs. The formula does transfer and it easily fades away which was again disappointing.

This lipsticks are not for pigmented lips as they don’t give coverage. This lipstick doesn't contain any fragrance. Also for complete opacity you need 3 coats which is not so good.
PRICE 650/-INR Shade no. 411

Next product I am going to talk about is the eye pencil in shade no 206. I picked up a purple shade this pencil has a smudger to create a Smokey eyes.

Its available in many shades like brown, blue, green & black. This pencils are highly pigmented and can be smudged easily with the help of sponge tip applicator on other side of pencil. The texture is soft and creamy gives even application glides effortlessly. The formula is softer and you can waste lot of product while sharpening. It doesn’t contain any shimmer or glitter but has a glossy finish. While creating a smokey eye look it was quite patchy as it didn't blended well which is a downside of the product. Also it doesn’t help in creating intense Smokey eyes. This pencils is great for using on water lines as it doesnt smudge and stays well for 5 hrs.
PRICE -650/-INR

Now the best product I purchased was a cream eyeshaodw in 317. This eye shadows comes in a glass jar with a black lip. The formula is soft creamy and once its blended it sets like a waterproof formula which doesn't crease OR budge at all. It doesn't even flake.

Once they set in they don’t smudge and it only comes off with makeup remover. It contains icy pink glitter. I absolutely love the formula and texture of this shadows. They are highly pigmented. They have many different shades and it looks amazing when applied on eyelid with a flat brush also you can use them to highlight inner corner of eyes. This cream shadows are very easy to use and you can use your finger tips too. I totally recommned this cream eyeshaodws.

PRICE- 700/-INR 3ML

Overall some of the products are really worth trying out while some of them were totally disappointing. In all 3INA is has wide range of products so try them before purchasing. Most of the formula lacks pigments and intensity. I really hope they have shade names as shade no. are really confusing especially for every product. All the products mentioned above are PARABEN FREE. Well I loved cream shadows and highlighter have been using them for a while now.

HAVE YOU 3INA BRAND OF MAKEUP? Are you going to try them?
