CHANEL - 05 LIP COLOUR MADEMOISELLE

Mademoiselle, the name by which Gabrielle Chanel was known as..


First of all it's a luxury product naturally quite pricey, but if you want your own signature colour, one which you can pull off all round the year, this is IT.
I have a weakness to this brand but i will pinpoint each good and bad things about the product,nevertheless. 

The packaging is same classic Chanel gold and black with the Chanel imprint on the lipstick bullet. This particular lipstick,in my opinion, belongs to the nude family even though its mostly described as  a brown-pink shade. 
Even if it is under the Hydrating category i don't think it adds any extra hydration on your lips neither dries out, in fact its perfectly wearable without any fuss, its just a basic creme lipsticky texture.


It has a semi-matte finish, glides smoothly on the lips. The color is intense but not in an over-powering way. Gives out more of the pink tone and looks very natural while enhancing any natural lip shade. 




The colour pay-off on application as you can see is very natural, the shade is chic and sophisticated, it doesn't look like it is heavy even though its quite high coverage.
Not shiny, not matte, has a very light sheen which looks perfect day/night.


The only 2 drawbacks are :
1. not long wearing, it is a creme formula so naturally it wears off super easily.
2. the lipstick bullet breaks off quite easily, i have experienced this with almost every chanel lipstick (except for the rouge coco range),which is a bit frustrating as they are expensive.

But overall, check out the shade you would love it. I guarantee.
:) till next time.. cya.. 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..
