MY 'PRETTY ME UP' PRODUCTS+MINI REVIEWS part2

Hey beauties!
        Today i'm doing the second installment of my PRODUCTS THAT MAKE ME FEEL BEAUTIFUL+MINI REVIEWS part 1. 
   I decided to funk up the name :P These products just made me feel pretty, beautiful and loved, and I'm going to mini review them, tell you their cost and how they work for me! 
Anyway, i hope you enjoy it, and lets jump right in!!!

I will be having a mix of drugstore, and high end brands. Lemme begin with the drugstore ones... 

                       
1. I have written a review on this (Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash ), simply because it is the best face wash you can have. It is for Rs.100 and it is really inexpensive, gentle on the skin, gets rid of pimples and acne scarring and even lightens the skin! 

                            
2. This is, again, a part of the Himalaya Herbals Line. I got this one for Rs.28, which is just unbelievable cuz this babe moisturizes like...i can't describe it. Ingredients are: Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Wheatgerm Oil, Carrot and Sweet Indrajao. It is so light, non greasy and a handy thing to have around in your pocket :)   

                                  
3. If you have dry, sensitive skin, this Eye Makeup Remover by Estee Lauder is perfect. It removes the darkest of waterproof kajal like a dream, and doesn't tug on my eyes. This is more like a luxury product to me because the cost is high: Rs.1,240 ($20). I 'borrowed' it from my mother (never giving it back :P) 

                      
4. I used this face cream day and night during the winters and it has really given me soft, supple skin. It is the Oriflame Pure Nature Organic Aloe Vera and Arnica Extract Face Cream. Phew...that was a long name. It costs Rs.350 on Amazon. But i really like it because it is a heavy duty face cream that does some serious moisturizing during the winters. 

                   
5. OH MY GOD. This is one of the best body lotions I own. It's luxurious, fast absorbing, smells like heaven, and is oh-so pampering. It is the Victoria Secret Pure Seduction Hydrating Body Lotion. Yep, that's the name. It has red plum and freesia and smells really sweet and fruity. It costs Rs.870 ($14), but its quality covers up the high cost. 

                       
6.Oriflame You Dazzle Hand Cream is my next product. It is super fast absorbing, has a gel-like consistency which turns into liquid once on the hands and smells like roses! (always a plus!) I like it because it is so light weight yet incredibly moisturizing. It is reasonably priced at Rs.229. 

                       
7. Saving THE best for last, is my Coach Poppy Flower Eau De Parfum which is my all time favorite perfume. It costs Rs. 4,725 on Amazon.in. I am in love with its floral, fun, yet sophisticated scent which lasts for 5 hours. I wear it almost every single day, and I get many compliments when i have it on. It is one of those perfumes that you get a whiff of, and then you get this mad urge to find out who is wearing it! 

(I know there are a few products in the main group picture that i haven't mentioned, but the reason is because i realized they weren't as pampering or 'pretty me up' as the others.)
   
            That is the end of today's post! I really hope you enjoyed it, and liked reading it. If you buy any of these products, do tell me if you like them! 

    Please do comment, share and subscribe. Do you have any 'all time favorite' products? Do tell me in the comment section :) I'd love to hear from you! 

Smiles and Love till my next post! 
Byeeeeee :) 


      

PRODUCTS THAT MAKE ME FEEL BEAUTIFUL+MINI REVIEWS part 1

Hey guys!
        
    Today, I'm trying something different; Products that make me feel Beautiful! I'll also be doing mini reviews, with my experience and all, so you have an idea about what the product is like. Valentines Day is coming up, and it is not only about that 'special someone', but it is also about friendship and love in general. I'm inspired by Valentine's Day!

                  
I do have some drugstore products and some high end brands, and both my phases of this tag will have a mix of both. These are things which are just simply awesome, because they make me feel just loved. So, let's just jump right in cuz i have A LOT of stuff ;P ( I have so much, I'm gonna split this post into two sections!)
                   
1. Don't Laugh! But a pair of fuzzy, cotton soft socks always make me feel relaxed, and amazing and cuddly! These actually belong to my mom, but she hasn't used them at all, so i stole them from her cupboard without telling her! 
        At night, i just rub in some foot cream into my feet and put these on and OH MY GOD i feels like heaven :) Winter can take a toll on your feet, and this with my next product is like magic!
                        
2. My next product is by Oriflame Feet Up. It is their Overnight Moisturising Foot Cream with Avocado and Aloe Vera. I put this on at night before my socks and in the morning, i get baby soft feet! It absorbs in really quickly too, but the scent is normal. It is a bit on the pricey side, costing Rs. 249.
              
3. I have already reviewed this product: Oriflame Feet Up Advanced Foot Scrub. It is a really amazing foot scrub which not only exfoliates, but also moisturizes and is anti-bacterial. It cleans the feet off their dead cells really well and is one foot product that you need to own! I have already gone through two whole tubes of this! (GUILTY!) This baby costs Rs.349. 
                        
4. This Eyeconic Kajal in Black by Lakme is my all time favorite! It's a nice, coal black eyeliner. It costs Rs.200. I've already done a review of this: Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in Black Review. 
     It's smudge proof, waterproof, sleek stylish and stays on for a really, really long time. Once you've got it on your eyes, its not going anywhere :) 

5. This Oriflame Kohl Pencil in Nude 23859 for RS. 175 is just the most natural nude color to put in the waterline. It's super creamy, pigmented and just brightens up the eyes. It's perfect for Indian skin. My only complaint is that it doesn't last that long. Otherwise, i put it almost every single time i go out and it's just awesome!
                         

6. This is the Elf Shimmer Eyeliner pencil. It's just for a dollar, which is INR 61. This is a steal for just 60 bucks. The swatch on the right is it. It's really sparkly, smokey and can be used as an eyeliner as well as an eyeshadow. I heat it up a little on my wrist before i use it for a creamy application. I just love this because it gives a nice color to the eyes without being too bold :) 
               
7. The Elf Shimmer Gloss in the shade "make a wish" 75122 is for $2, which is again quite a steal. It's such a perfect shade to wear on a daily basis, it's pretty without being an in-your-face color and it's staying power is about five hours, without eating food, which is quite good. It is a little bit sticky, but i'm cool with that :)  and, it smells like bubblegum, which is always a plus! 
                                   
8. I'm ending this review with a really affordable perfume with is ah-mazing!It's the Layer'r Wottagirl Body Splash (how fancy does that sound?) in the scent Mystic Island. It costs just Rs.195, which is pretty cheap for a perfume.
             Even though it's a body mist it lasts for the duration of a toilette, and it smells like a more sophisticated version of shampoo. Say whhhhaaat???? But yes, it does smell like that in a good way. It has aquatic, floral and light notes, which remind of a tropical paradise! I love this thing to death!

Anyway, I'm closing off now. This review is way to long as it is, but i will be doing a part 2 soon, so look out for that!(some exciting things coming up!!!!) (MY 'PRETTY ME UP' PRODUCTS+MINI REVIEWS part2)

See you till next time!!!  :)






          

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash Review

Product Name: Purifying Neem Face Wash
By: Himalaya Herbals
Weight: 100ml
Cost: Rs 100.

Heya chocolatefrosties!
                 (I told you in my Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in Black review that I'd call you that!)
                      This product is my holy grail face wash. Literally. I cannot say just how much it has helped me. I have gone through more than 6 bottles of this, and i don't think I'd ever stop. Even if i try to use another face wash, it reacts with my skin and i get pimples. This has saved me!

              It is a neem face wash, and neem is famous for its anti bacterial and anti acne properties. It also contains turmeric which really helps in preventing pimples. I have used this face wash for a year now, and i know all about it, it's pros and cons and the way it helps the skin.

PACKAGING: It has a firm, sturdy packaging. Bits of it are translucent and some bits are clear, but you can always see how much of the product is remaining. The cap is very secure, and i have always carried this bottle with me when i travel. It never leaks! The cover is fresh, green and a nice, bright thing to have around.

                     

TEXTURE, SUBSTANCE, SCENT, PRODUCT: The product is translucent and green, it is not greasy or too runny, but it has a gel like consistency. It has a mild, pleasant grass smell that is not at all irritating or too strong.
                     When used on the face, it lathers up quickly. It is soap-free which is wonderful as soap strips the skin of its natural oils. It washes off quickly too, which is always a plus :)
                         

MY EXPERIENCE: I cannot express how much i love this face wash, and I'm possessive/obsessive  about it. It leaves my skin really soft, cleansed and smooth. I can actually see all the dirt it removes from my face. It is really gentle on the face, and is okay for sensitive skin, oily skin, and even normal skin like mine. It does not dry out the skin, but i always go over it with a moisturizer.
              I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but i find that it even lightens my skin to a certain extent. I recommend this to everyone with acne, as it makes sure you have absolutely no pimples. It also fades pimple scars gradually. The skin feels very fresh after washing. I use it every morning and night.
               The effects of this face wash will not be seen in a weeks time, but in a month there will be a huge difference in the way your skin looks! Just use it on a daily basis...

So, summing this incredible face wash up,

PROS:
- Travel Friendly
- Sturdy Packaging
- Nice Smell
- Really Removes Acne
- Fades Pimple Scars
- Brightens the face
- Good for all face types
- Not at all drying
- Awesome Price

CONS:
- I have been using this for a year with no side effects :)

BEAUTY RATING: 4.5/5

RE-PURCHASE: I highly, highly, highly recommend this face wash. I absolutely love it, and i will keep buying it.

WHERE TO FIND IT: 
Flipkart, Amazon
