COLORBAR..usa POUT IN A POT LIPCOLOR

colorbar pout in a pot lipcolor review .....

hello gals !!

                   How are you all ? I had not written any post for last few days , was badly stuck in household chores :)... yesterday came to my moms house and finally decided to work on my passion again :)

                   So, here i come with my review on colorbar pout in a pot lipcolor. This range from colorbar serves you with eight different beautiful shades that are really hard to choose . I chose this fabel pink no.003 as pink plays always safe for me... 
                                             

                          

                                 Price - rs.550 for 6gm pack
                                 Shelf life - 3 years :)
                                           
                                                         

Packaging : As the name itself suggests its a lipcolor that comes in a glass pot packaging with a beautiful silver metallic cap that contains a lip brush also with it . There is an inbuilt mirror beneath the cap that i really found useful for touch ups when you are out somewhere or traveling. Its a travel friendly packaging that is very much light weight . The difficulty i found with it was that the brush given with it is very hard to take out for the first time ..i was really scared that i will scratch up my lipcolor bottle or would break its lid definitely but after much effort i was successful in removing it safely... huff !! But it is not the case when you try to remove it for the second or next time , it comes out easily enough...
                                                   

                                                             

What does it contain and claim : It contains vitamin e , jojoba oil and shea butter .It claims to be non sticky and a long lasting lip color. Colorbar says that you can pamper your lips with this deliciously syrupy lip color that's cushiony and wet . It optically plumps your lips for a sexy plushy pout that you will become addicted to.

                                                           

My take on the product : What really inspired me to buy this lipcolor was its cute packaging  ;) Its too attractive but a bit pricy for our college going gals . Its a nice lipcolor with glossy finish to it and you need not apply any extra gloss for that extra shine . It gives a decent pigmentation to your lips but i would say that it is does not fall into the category of pinks rather it is a coral shade, so if you are hunting for a pink shade i wont recommend this shade for you. It stays well for two to three hours but not more than that and the color it gives to your lips is lighter than the color you swatch on your hand or wrist. It smells nice and does not bleed if you apply it using a lip liner first. It is hydrating enough and does not makes lip look flaky , gives a smooth finish and a nice plump to your lips but surely not a long lasting one ..you would definitely need touch ups .
                                                          

                                                  

Good things : 

• nice packaging 
• travel friendly
• in built mirror and lip brush
• smooth 
• plumps up your lips
• nice smell
• glossy 

Not so good things :

• bit pricy
• contains paraben :(
• not a long stay one

Will i repurchase it : yup for sure !! :) 

MY FAVORITE FROM FABINDIA BASKET !!! CLEANSING MILK AND TONER ......

Review for fabindia tea tree cleansing milk and neem tulsi skin toner :

  Hello lovely ladies!! :)

                                 How are you all !  :)  Hope you all are doing good and  lets see what i am going to review for you today !! As i said in my earlier post on a Fabindia product that i picked whatever i needed from the store while shopping with MR. MITTAL 8) . Amongst all my purchases that day from Fabindia my favorite are Fabindia tea tree cleansing milk and neem tulsi skin toner...

                                             

Lets have a look at these products :

Price and Packaging : Tea tree cleansing milk is rs.180 for 200 ml pack 

                                             Neem tulsi skin toner is rs.150 for 200 ml pack

Both have shelf life of three years and are packed in beautiful plastic flip cap bottles. Pretty hygienic i must say !! Packaging is really nice but bottles are too heavy to carry inside your travelling kit or bag
                               
                                                 

.

What they contain and claim :

Fabindia tea tree cleansing milk : I am very much happy with my this purchase as it is paraben free and hardly contains any chemical. Main ingredients are sesame oil, tea tree essential oil and grape-seed oil . It claims to cleanse and moisturize your skin with the help of tea tree and grape-seed oil.( patch test recommended before use )

                                                           

Fabindia neem tulsi skin toner :  This toner claims to be alcohol free that contains anti septic and anti bacterial properties. It deep cleanses your skin from impurities and dirt and is specifically ideal for oily skin . Main ingredients are neem leaves extract, reetha extract, rose water, aloe vera extract, glycerine, tulsi oil .(patch test recommended again with this )

                                       

My take on both these products :

FABINDIA tea tree cleansing milk : This product has a typical tea tree smell which is neither good nor that bad .It smells as of bark of a tree. It is tolerable enough and from the smell itself we can take the clue that it is much of a natural product .It is milky white in color and texture is as if of a vaseline lotion ... neither too smooth nor runny ... i use it often as winters have arrived and soap based cleansers dry out your skin (still i use them once in two days ) even if it is oily. So , i just apply it over a cotton ball and gently swipe it on my face , leave it for a minute again swipe it using a cotton ball and then rinse it off and then perform my other skin care rituals like toning etc. I even found it good to remove off  everyday makeup but not that good for waterproof eye makeup. It does not cause any breakout but you have to wash it off in the end . It is very gentle on skin and skin feels fresh and nurtured after using it . It is non sticky and makes you feel cool when you apply it ..soothes your skin. I am quite happy with it.

after second swipe almost cleared.............

FABINDIA neem tulsi skin toner : Again i am in love with this product too. It smells of a neem soap bar ..fragrance is pleasant but what i did not like about this product is it contains chemicals like imid urea : ( .... The toner that i was using before this was also good but its smell was too strong that i have to close my eyes whenever i applied it .The thing i loved about this toner is that it is alcohol free ( always purchase alcohol free toners ) . It refreshes your face and has really helped in minimizing my skin pores on face . it is water based gentle toner .

                                                         

good things about tea tree cleanser : 

• Nice packaging 
• texture is good 
• smell is tolerable
• paraben free
• natural ingredients
• light on skin
• make skin soft and supple                                        
• an alternative to soap based cleansers
• makeup remover
• price is good 

not so good things about tea tree cleanser :

• not for waterproof makeup
• not travel friendly
• smell could have been better
• availability in retail

                                                       

good things about neem tulsi toner :

• nice packaging
• smells good
• alcohol free
• price is good
• minimizes pores
• not too strong as other astringents

not so good things about neem tulsi toner :

• contains chemicals like imid urea
• may be not for over sensitive skin
• availability in retail 

Would not recommend these two for sensitive skin type and toner for dry skin types as it can make skin more dry ......

TIP FOR THE DAY : USE TONERS OCCASIONALLY IN WINTERS EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE OILY SKIN , THEY TEND TO MAKE SKIN DRY IN WINTERS......

Hope this post was helpful to you , please leave comments if you like my review.....it encourages to write more researched and good.....

LAKME YOUTH INFINITY NIGHT CREME REVIEW......

LAKME YOUTH INFINITY NIGHT CREME REVIEW......

                                             

     

  

               HI ! EVERYONE :)

                                       
                                     How are you  guys... Today iam gonna review this youth infinity skin firming night creme from lakme...purchased it a fortnight ago and was waiting for the results to show up on my face so that i can review it for you all.. I was searching for a night creme by nuetrogena (i love nuetrogena products ,suits my oily and sensitive skin very much :* ) but was not available and among other options given by the sales girl i chose lakme youth infinity as she said it is going good in the market . purchased it but was not very sure that will it suit my skin type or not ...so now i am going to share my experience with this creme with you all .....:)

                                                       

                                  lets check out what lakme youth infinity claims :) Claims to bright and tight skin tone. Brightens skin tone if used regularly .. helps improve elasticity to tighten skin , helps to repair your skin while you you sleep  giving you younger looking skin .Also gives you freedom from dullness, shows spectacular results and makes your skin stay young...  It also claims itself to be non comedogenic (that does not produce acne or pimple on your face ) and tested by dermatologist.

                                             

                                Price and packaging : Price is rs.699 for a 50gm. pack. Its a tub packaging and comes in a beautiful silver colored glass bottle that is easy to open but little unhygenic i feel . A white colored creme that is smooth in texture and is niether too hard nor too runny . Fragrance is pleasant to the senses.

                                                 

                                             

                             My take on lakme youth infinity : I am applying it on daily basis from past 15 days and quite happy with the result . I apply it post face wash and after toning my skin . Just put it in dots all over  face and neck the way we apply our foundation make up base and gently massage it into my skin in upward gentle strokes. It apears like as if a white film has been emerged on your skin as the formula takes time to get absorbed initially , but it just takes five minutes and the creme completely gets absobed . I am blessed with a good skin genetically but from some time i am noticing these fine lines on my fore head which any one would hardly notice but they make me really go mad .. Happy with the results the lines are firming up now and a pinkish glow and shine has emerged on my face again... but yes one or two pimples also have surfaced on my skin :( but i think its because this is the first time i am using a retinyl formula based creme . Retinyl do make your skin sensitive when you start using it but skin care specialists recommend that do not get disheartened and quit using it . They will be gone after your skin will get used to the new formula ..This creme doesnot make my skin look oily when i wake up in the morning and is light on the skin. You will start noticing any changes atleast 10 days post its application (with me it was so may be a bit early or late depending on individual skin )

                                               

                           Good about lakme youth infinity :
                         1.Nice packaging
                         2.Smells good
                         3.Light on the skin
                         4.Non sticky and non oily
                         5.Firms your skin texture
                         6.Makes your skin glow
                         7.Dermatologist tested

                         Not so good about youth infinity :
                         1.Not for mature skin (it will need a stronger anti ageing formula )
                         2.Does not fulfill its promise as non comedogenic formula
                         3.Bit pricy
                         4.No as such spectacular results as claimed
                         5.Not for super sensitive skin

            All in all its a good creme but wont show you any miraculous results if you have deep lines or wrinkles . Good for beginners in the field of anti ageing products.

                       Will i purchase it again ? : If it further improves my skin tone i will go for it....

                         RATING - 4/5

NOTE : THIS CREME REALLY HAD STAR LIKE TANTRUMS ...THE TOUGHEST CREME TO SHOOT WITH ...;) LOL
