My views about Yardley London English Rose Moisturising Body Lotion

This comes in a white coloured plastic bottle with a nozzle. The good packaging makes it very travel friendly and easy to use with no spillage.

The colour of the product is pure white, while the fragrance is just too rosy that lingers throughout the day after application. Its soothing, calming and refreshing floral smell. The lotion is very mild with creamy texture. The consistency is thick but glides well on the skin. Though it gets very quickly absorbed into the skin, I somehow feel it stay on the upper layer part of the skin. But the lotion hydrates and nourishes well for any normal to oily skin type.

Pros-

·        Good packaging.

·        Travel-friendly

·        Rose fragrance that lingers thou rout the day

·        Spreads

·        Affordable

·        Hydrates and nourishes well

·        Doesn’t feel greasy.

Cons-

·        Not for very dry skin.

·        No SPF

·        Feels like it stays only on the upper layer of skin

Ratings for Yardley London English Rose Moisturising Body Lotion

Oriflame The ONE Matte Lipstick Red Seduction: Review and LOTD

Price and quantity of Oriflame The ONE Matte Lipstick Red Seduction: Rs 499 for 4gms

My views about Oriflame The ONE Matte Lipstick Red Seduction:

This comes in a grey plastic case that is inside a cardboard box. The packaging is just too OK, nothing much to like about...also the colour is damn boring and also doesn’t have anything that will help you to indentify the colour without opening or looking at the shade name. But, the packaging is sturdy and its cap fits tightly making it very travel friendly.

Even though it’s from the Matte range, the formula is quite creamy and hydrates my lips. It’s very easy to glide on the lips and don’t melt. No tugging required for application and no patch is observed. I can call it- semi matte!

Talking about colour it’s very nicely pigmented, gives good coverage in 1swipe and also has very good stay time. No touch ups required till 4-5 hours for this shade. It leaves a very strong lip stain while fading when you snack or drink. The ONE Matte Lipstick Red Seduction Lipstick is one of my favourite from the entire range. It’s a sexy and pleasing red shade that will suit all skin tone. The shade instantly brightens the face even when you have no makeup on the face. I simply love it!

How To Get #SpinzBanTheTan skin: Anniversary special

Hello all,

The few days after the real hustle-bustle planning and a beautiful event of my baby’s birthday....I was too tired and needed some rest. With the huge shopping spree on the hot days of Mumbai my skin was left all tanned. Many moms will surely relate...Ihardly get time to take care of my skin...no proper skin care like applying face packs, scrubbing, salon visits, etc is possible. Also my anniversary was approaching and I obviously wanted to look good on the day. And then one fine eveningI get a saviour product delivered at my address “Spinz Sun Tan Remover Instant De Tan Cream”.

What’s this?....READ BELOW!!!

Sun tanning & skin darkening is faced by most of us who stay in India. Obviously we don’t want to look dark or dull. Thus, this new product by CK that is a cream face pack and does not contain bleach is just what we need. It is to be applied on your face & trust me within 5 min it detans the skin by taking off the all tan.

Price of Spinz Sun Tan Remover Instant De Tan Cream:

·        49 Rs for 25 g pack

·        50 g for 89 Rs.

How To Get #SpinzBanTheTan skin:

·        Just wet your skin with normal water and apply it like any other face pack with finger tips.

·        You can apply this to several parts of your body like legs, hands, feet, etc.

·        Avoid the eyes areas

·        Leave it on for 5 minutes

·        Take this off with a help of tissue.

·        Wash offyour face.

·        You may feel mild tingling sensation that is normal.

·        Avoid using the product for more than one time a day.

NOTE: Don’t expect to get a bleached facial skin, as it isn’t a bleach cream.

Check how I applied on my face and neck....I know it’s quite rough application...but was in a hurry! Hope I ain’t scarring you!!

Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish Review

Hello all!

This came in my mailbox 2days back- Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish range that claims to be extra long-lasting. I received the range in 9 different colours of nail polish. Just take a sneak peak to these lovely shades! 

Oriflame products are high-quality and The One collection not only has nail polish but beautiful lipsticks, blushes, eyeliners, eye shadows,  mascaras and lip glosses among which I have reviewed many.

Ruby Rouge, London Red, Red Sky at Night, Night Orchid, Fuchsia Allure, Strawberry Cream, Purple in Paris, Cappucino, Ballerina Rose

 

About Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish:

These are long-lasting and high gloss nail polish that comes in beautiful vivid, bright colours & looks enchanting on nails. The Expert Gel Technology of this nail polish adds even coverage and also helps in preventing colour fade very quickly.

 

My view about Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish:

This has flat and little wider brush than any normal nail paint brushes. It comes in a round transparent glass bottle. The brush helps quick and precise application of nail colour. The texture is quite thick than usual and thus second layer application gets even thicker. But, you will need 3 layers of most of the shade to get the best colour. The smell is just like any other nail polish and doesn’t cause irritation. This takes a little longer time to dry and starts to chip in 2-3 days.

Lets us very quickly take a look at the shades with short description!
