Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

First of all apologies, i know i am late in the bandwagon, i know it's like a sin, but i was tired of trying out varities of skin care products all the time, which had taken a toll on my skin but thanks to this "genie in bottle" i have now sorted it all out with my skin & it seems like we are again best friends.

Yes, its true i was little apprehensive to try this out after trying tons of serums & oils and irritating my skin all the more & did enter the store 200 times and checking it on my hands.



Try this at least for once, i bet you will be happy with the effect. Even if u break out in the beginning, bear with it for a while it will start working. 
The smell is very calming and soothing if not anything. I use it before my moisturiser, and at night as the name suggests. I did break out for a while then i started using alternate nights and now its fine, it did clear my skin a lot and plumped up a little bit too. Overall i am quite happy with it but if something changes i will write again.
xoxoxoxoxo :) see you again.

dermalogica gentle cream exfoliant

Today i am going to write about the skin care product that i have never stopped using since the first time. This product successfully have saved its place in my luxury skin care routine. Yes, its a bit pricey but if you wanna look good only using expensive cosmetics won't help you achieve that, you got to have skin which is perfectly maintained and taken care of.
So, ladies do not ever hesitate to splurge into luxury skin care products, coz if you look good you know you can rock the world.

Note : my skin is mostly natural, sometimes it tends to be on the drier and sometimes oily




Now to the product, dermalogica gentle cream exfoliant is a masque which helps getting smooth and vibrant skin, it says the same on the back of the tube and it really does what it says.
This contains Lactic acid & Salicylic acid which helps remove your dead cells and regenerate new cells and your skin glows and looks fresh even without make up.

We all know that exfoliation of our skin is necessary to keep it healthy & glowing, and most of us look for new scrubbing lotions or techniques. I used to do the same but i have learned that the way the exfoliating or scrubbing lotions, which has small particles, work on your skin is hideous. You can't see with your naked eyes but it literally strips down the skin and rip it up, the delicate veins on your facial skin ruptures and that is when you break out.
Don't go by my words but you can even research on google and may be ask your dermatologists.

Anyway, so i switched to this product to exfoliate my face at least once a month because lactic acid gently suck out the dead skin particles and dirts from the pore of the skin without harshly effecting the veins. And if you use this product you will thank me as you will feel the difference from the first day of your use.

How to use :

  • apply a thin layer evenly, on your neck too
  • let it sit for about 15 mints ( not more than that, i did and suffered)
  • use a muslin cloth & warm water
  • keep the wet cloth on your face the masque soften a bit 
  • gently remove
P.S. after applying the masque you might feel a mild sting but it will go off, don panic its just the acids activating.

If anybody use it then do let me know in the comments section. :* xoxoxo

The Body Shop Colour Crush No14

All the Pink lipstick lovers, this is hereby THE shade you should have in your make up bag..
I am not usually a fan of The Body Shop make up collection & it's not because they are not good but i have an obsession with another brand, but last week i was in the shop to get some bathing stuff and i came across this range that they have recently introduced.

 

As the rule suggests i started swatching few colours and this is the first colour which i picked and after swatching few more i fixed the shade no 14.

The swatch is here under natural light :





As you can see 3 swatches :

  - the colour on top is what you get if u swatch it only once, leaves a smooth streak of natural healthy pink glow on your lips.

  - the second coat, appeared a bit more vibrant and almost like a neon-ish hue on your lips.

  - the last one is 3 layers and its a Statement pink but not very overpowering or girly, the perfect balance.

Overall, the lipstick is very moisturising & it still doesn't bleed out from the corners, and the texture is sheer yet gives the perfect shade of colour with every swipe & last but not least "i totally love this lippie."

Mane 'n tail - Herbal grow Shampoo & conditioner

My mane tale..

"Hair & nail can grow back" - this is what i very strongly believe and thus experiment a lot with them, you will see (if you ever get to see me somewhere) i never stick to one style.
  I have treated my hair with all the chemicals i got my hands on, and you can well imagine how much my hair struggled all through its life just to look as good as expected.

First my hair type : I have not-too-thick-not-too-thin hair, normal scalp, rich brown on its own & smooth wavy.





I have smoothened my hair couple of times coz it always looked like out-of-the-bed and then i don't like my poker straight hair so i use a lot of heating tools, and a lot of hair products.
but i had to first get to my best hair care product, Mane 'n Tail, which was mainly developed for horses. ;) haha..!!
I know you all have heard about or came across this product in some point of your life and some of you might have even used it, but i am writing for those who haven't  dared yet. I know the feeling, i used to pass by it all the time fearing..no, i shall not give my hair any more trouble, but then somewhere i read Jennifer Anniston swore by this and who doesn't love her hair., so finally i dared to pick it up..



And my hair haven't been healthier, shinier, silkier, ever in my life. It's a dream come true hair product for any girl, all you need is just to pick it up & use it at least once and you'd thank yourself (may be me too ;P).. But seriously just go grab the duo and rock your life..

  Now coming back to the product, don't get intimidated by the photo of the horse on the label, it is safe to use on human hair. Over 40 years the company is hugely producing this line and had been praised by many.
The ingredients used in the shampoo and conditioner are all high quality and are not tested on animals.

SOAP & GLORY - SUGAR CRUSH - BODY SCRUB

yummmmmmmyyylicious...!!



This is what would come to your mind when you open it for the first time, and you have to strongly control the STRONGER urge to taste it.
(yes i did, and the taste is not something which i would like to talk about cause i love this product and don't want to write anything bad ;P about it
Yepp you are on a beauty product review page but i had to write about the smell first and you would know why when you buy this.

 So, i have already said that Yes, you should buy this cause it's mind blowingly awesome.. :)
I had to start up with the smell as the smell drew me in first, it feels like there is no chemicals or any artificial products used in it, and as it is mentioned it is a fusion of sweet lime, brown sugar,almond oil and macadamia grain.





  And the sweet lime smell is the most overpowering of them all. you come out of bath feeling fresh and blooming as the dead skin is all gone and every pore of your body gets to breathe.


I have been using this for 6 months and it seems to do as it says : four times-even-if you've ever been labelled 'old lizard legs'. (not that mine was ever labelled that) but who wouldn't like to have an energising and exfoliating bath even the "milk & peach" bodied girls would.




Should be used as instructed : once or twice or thrice a week, that's what at you would do as this comes with a spell you would have to get addicted to the smell, it is AWWWWWSOOMMMEEEE..

 This body scrub would come handy when you are upset or tired or had a low day, take a warm bath and then use this generously all over your body and you see the effect immediately.
Feels like sugar and oil syrup but in a condensed form with loads of zest & juice of sweet lime.





You might even end up feeling like Cleopatra, yes you read it write, you would feel like taking up all new challenges and conquer the world.....well, i have a feeling i am writing this review on a medicine..Hell ya..it is my medicine for the bad days of my life, i swear by this.

And the price too is not too high in any country, cause the amount is also quite a lot and does its job. And i believe having a beautiful skin is all we care about..

So, yeah all you beautiful girls & ladies out there Go on give it a try you won't regret..
