CLINIQUE dramatically different moisturising lotion Review

Lotions ,potions ,those magical creams ,am always trying!This time it was the'' "'Genius"'which Clinique sells every 3.5 Seconds".I was flabbergasted and immediately got one.According to Clinique my skin is Very Dry to Dry Combination Skin  and this moisturiser is the STEP 3 product.Among what Clinique suggests for a healthy skin.Step 1 to cleanse , Step 2 to Exfoliate and step 3 to moisturise. Though I did not try the entire range because I am in love with my other face cleanser which I have  and do not want to experiment with it until some time. Product Type :Facial Moisturiser Core Concern: Dry to Very Dry Skin Moisturiser Price:4500 My first thoughts with this product was a very positive one but as I started using this product , I realised it was not one for my kind of skin which is very thirsty for a moisturiser.It may be good for those who develop dry skin with onset of winters .Certainly not for me who vouches by a cream even in humid summers as in...

LUSH HENNA (CACA NOIR)

Image
Lush , Hand made cosmetics , everyone is talking about it! I wanted to try something from LUSH and what caught my attention was the HENNA( CACA NOIR ) which says it has pure henna and the rare exotic Indigo dye .and super excited ,I ordered it online along with other stuff.I have some greys and I do not prefer to use hair colour ,though many parlours/beauticians recommend hair colour to henna ;the later one they say dries the hair.But that is not true.Coming back Indigo dye gives off dark blue /black tints and the moment I say that Lush Henna had this component I picked it to my cart. Product type: Henna /Natural Hair Colour. Core Concern: Natural Blue /Black Hair Colour. Price: 1020 Rs for 6 blocks i.e 330 gms. Instructions/Claims: Its says that the blocks should be broken in a heat proof bowl and mixed to a yoghurt like consistency with hot water and be used.Wrap in a shower cap for deep red tints or just leave for blue /black tin...

REVLON LIP BUTTER

I have been craving for these lip butters for a long time , the name lip butter is so enchanting that I had to pick these.The colours are vivid and come from light pinks , reds, browns and few neutrals too.I picked Pink Truffle and Raspberry Pie .I thought Raspberry Pie would not show up much on my lips but the pigmentation of these lip butters are amazing , one swipe and gosh the pigmentation is as good as the lip butter looks.The packaging is amazing and the colour of the cover makes for an easy pick while dressing up. Product type: Lipstick /Lip Butters Core Concern: For moisturised Smooth ,rich pigmented lips. Price:600 Rs per Lip butter ( I bought this on a 20% discount) Lip butters and pigmentations so true to the lip butter colour is amazing.As opposed to few lipsticks /lip colours which look good as a lipstick but does not give the same colour on the lips.Colour so truly translates on the lips , no matter how pigmented your lips may be.Because ...

Forest Essentials Light Hydrating Hydra Eye Gel Review

Eye Creams, Under eye gels , anything alike , I am a bit apprehensive.I do my bit of research , a bit ....wait a lot of research before I buy !Because the skin around eyes is very fragile ,no fat underneath and thus needs extra care.I once read that heavy creams ought not to be used under eyes.Thus gels are the right kind to be used.And look what I bought its Forest Essentials Light Hydrating Hydra Eye gel.

Kajal also looks ...

This stick reminds you of the chubby sticks by Clinique. Product Type: Lip Balm /Lip Stain /Lip Stick. Product Price: 600 INR. The colour CRUSH is more like a reddish maroon with raspberry pink undertones.
