Maybelline Baby Lips Rose Addict

Product name: Baby Lips: Rose Addict
By: Maybelline
Cost: Rs.150
Weight: 4.5g
                             


       As you can see, I'm hopeless when it comes to saving the covers of products. The good-old me just threw the cover of this amazing lip balm into the trashcan. Oops!

                 This nifty little thing is my life saver. It's been used to much (the picture is self-explanatory. I was travelling and kept the Baby lips in the same compartment as Odomos. The cap of odomos came out and the substance inside spilt on Baby lips, literally peeling off the white letters.). I used to have trouble finding the perfect lip balm, with SPF and which served as a gloss too. Then i saw this. I used it. Now it's irreplaceable:)
                            This one is in the flavor Rose Addict, and has SPF 16.
                                      
 
            A lip balm, gloss and lip stick with SPF is a must buy. Spf goes a long way in preventing our pout from darkening. We have to turn the bottom dial 2-3 times to see the stick. On the internet, if you see the cover, it promises pink coated lips.


       Unfortunately, that is not the case. It has just a hint of pink when applied to the lips, and to get a more visible shade one needs to apply it many times, which leads to a waste of the product and over-greasiness on the lips. So people looking for bright colors on their lips should turn back now.
This shade was obtained after applying it 5 times
             However, it is perfect for girls like me :) It serves it's purpose as an extremely good lip balm, with moisture that lasts for 4-6 hours, depending on if you eat anything. It has a mild rose fragrance and leaves a fresh, translucent pink shine on the lips.

PROS:

1. Moisture lasts for a good 4 hours.
2. It had SPF 16.
3. Leaves a subtle pinkness to the lips
4. Not sticky or greasy.
5. Travel-friendly.
6. Budget-friendly.

CONS:

1. Not bright pink in hue.
2. No strong fragrance.
3. Lettering comes off easily.

                  All in all, I'm definitely ging to buy this product again, but maybe I'll try Berry Crush. I've heard it has a more prominent color. Till my next review, bye!


                             Which is your favorite multi-purpose lip balm?

Oriflame Feet Up Advanced Foot Scrub

Product Name: Foot Scrub
By: Oriflame
Price: Rs. 349
Weight: 100ml
    
I liked the foot-print on it!
         My mom is a consultant or Oriflame and hence, this product. Here's the description of it given in the catalogue: 'Anti-bacterial Lemon Myrtle and Intensive Care Complex purify and revitalize your feet.'
                 The packaging is nothing too great, but its good, and the scrub comes out easily. The scrub itself is cream coloured with mint green granules and flecks of brown. Take a peek:
       
Did i mention it contains Anti-bacterial Oils which are so good for the feet?
              After my foot has soaked water in for 10 minutes or so, i put a dollop of the scrub on each foot and begin rubbing it in. The granules work extremely well in exfoliating the foot, being not too mild or too harsh. It's perfect. But the smell of the scrub the moment it comes on your feet is a bit sharp. The smell of the Anti-bacterial oil can be smelt distinctly. 
                                Here comes the AMAZING part...it moisturizes as well! The moment i wash it off, my feet are soft and smooth and oh so lovely! This scrub exfoliates, kills bacteria, leaves a lingering clean smell to your feet, and moisturizes as well! That is a huge save of money. Instead of buying a separate anti-bacterial, a separate exfoliator and a separate moisturizer, i just buy this!
         This is perfect for those people who have rough, dry feet and don't want to spend too much time attending to it. 
PROS:
-  Exfoliates very well
-  Kills bacteria and has Intensive Care Complex
-  Moisturizes!
-  Leaves a lingering clean smell to the foot (can't describe it!)

CONS:
- Sometimes the smell gets  bit overwhelming (while applying it)
- A bit runny in consistency, but otherwise fine

                      I really hoped this post helped you! Please share this on Google+, Follow me and comment telling me what you thought of the review! 
   Bye:)

Dead Sea Glycerin soap

Product name: Glycerin soap
Seller: DeadSeaShops.com
Price: Rs.261
Weight: 125gm
Ingredients:
                 
Review:
         I was very interested about trying this soap when i bought it because as the name suggest, its a Glycerin soap. Glycerin is known for their moisturizing properties.
              


The cover of the soap is very nice and attractive, and when you remove it, the soap is covered with a plastic film. Now lets go down to the soap....

    It has ingredients like Dead Sea Salts, Palm Kernel oil, Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, and Dead Sea Black Mud...exotic!
             The soap is very wide and has a creamy white color. It has a very pleasant, fresh soap smell.  It glides very smoothly over moist skin and it is extremely creamy and soft. After using it, my skin was left very supple and moisturized. I have normal skin, and i loved it for my pores. I would definitely recommend this for people with dry skin as a daily soap. It works effectively to cleanse AND hydrate.

Pros: - Good quantity

         - Makes the skin very smooth and soft
         - Many Natural ingredients

Cons: - Pricy

                       Would i buy it again? Probably not, because the price is a bit high. But now that i already have got it, i want to use it everyday! I would definitely ask my readers to try it at least once because it is pampering!
   
     I hope this review helped you, and if it did, please comment and tell me about your experiences with this soap! Bye! see you next time!
