MY CURRENT FAVORITE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS AND MINI REVIEW ON THEM

Hello every one.. today am gonna share my view on my current favorite skin care products.. i ve been using these products for a little while and am loving them so far.. so i wanted to share my view on them with you.. this is going to be a small post since i have picked only my absolute fav products at the moment.. so lets get started..

AVON NATURALS SHOWER GEL IN RASPBERRY AND HIBISCUS


PRICE : rs 199 for 200 ml..

I have been using this shower gel for last three weeks and am absolutely loving this one.. it smells so good like a candy.. it is clear gel with a lil bit of pink tint to it.. am using this one with my amway loofah.. you need only little of this gel to use on your entire body..so, little goes a long way.. it makes my skin so soft and smooth..i literally felt it in just three or four uses.. i have sensitive skin.. this product doesnt create any problem in my skin.. i already used shea butter one in this same range and i discussed about it in my empties post a few days back.. this one is equally good.. only thing i dont like about this is the ingredients list.. it contains lot of chemicals.. but it dint create any problem..


BIOCARE WINE AND BEER SCRUB


PRICE : somewhere around rs300.. i am not sure coz i got it online for rs220 long back..(500ml)

 It comes in a huge tub which is not travel friendly which i dont mind coz i used to transfer it in a small container when am travelling.. it lasts for ever.. i have been using this scrub for past 7 to 8 months.. still i have so much product left in my tub.. it is a gentle scrub so it is perfect for everyday use.. i use this once in two days and it makes my skin soft and bright.. i use it on my face and body as well.. i wish they had lil bit more granules in them.. but it is just good for sensitive skin.. it smells good.. it looks like a pink color cream with red granules in them.. if you are looking for a deep cleansing scrub with hard granules this is not the one for you...great value for the money i paid.. the quantity is good.. over all i just love this one.. i think it is gonna last me for another six months.. it  has shelf life of 3 years..

VAADI HERBALS ALEOVERA DEEP CLEANSING MILK.


PRICE : RS 54 for 110 ml..

It smells so fresh like lemon.. it is white in color with lotion like consistency.. you need only a small amount to work on your entire face.. mostly i use this as a makeup remover.. i tried it on my eyes as well to remove my eye makeup.. surprisingly it dint irritate my eyes and easily removed my stubborn eye liners .. it removes all my makeup in just a few seconds and leaves my skin clean.. it dint create any irritation or any problem in my skin..it lasts for so long since you need only a little amount..

VLCC STRAWBERRY LIP SHIELD



PRICE : i got it for rs 95 a while ago now the price has been increased to rs 125 i believe.. for 10ml

It has shelf life of four years which is awesome.. i bought this one long back and i loved it.. after few days when i bought so many other lip balms i left this guy without any attention :(..recently i discovered this little guy hiding in my vanity and started using it again.. i regret myself for not using this one for so long.. now coming back to the review it smells so yummy like a strawberry candy..it has spf 10..it looks like a pink color lip balm but it is actually sheer.. you cant even see the pink tint in your lips.. it is so moisturizing and my lips feels so soft.. it melts when you keep it near window on a sunny day.. the only issue with this one is the packaging.. you need to dip your fingers to use it which is not hygienic.. it will last for so long since the quantity is huge..

DIY ALL PURPOSE MOISTURIZER..

Hi guys.. happy diwali.. today am gonna discuss about something very important in your everyday skin care routine.. '' moisturizer''.. it plays a major role in keeping your skin young and hydrated.. winter is going to be here soon, your skin definitely need that extra care from you.. most of the store bought moisturizers contain chemicals to preserve their product which can damage our skin instead of protecting them.. so here is a simple recipe to make your own all purpose moisturizer which is very effective.. trust me i have tried this and am loving it... so now lets get into it..

INGREDIENTS

So this is what you will need

- two table spoon of coconut oil
- one table spoon of extra virgin olive oil
- one table spoon of almond oil.
- 3-4 drops of glycerine
- one vitamin e capsule
- essential oil ( optional )

METHOD OF PREPARATION.

mix them together.. as simple as that ;).. you can add 3-4 drops of essential oil to it which is totally optional i have added lavender oil in my mixture.. if you have acne or pimple then you can add tea tree essential oil..
you can store them for about six months..


 i have stored mine in this cute lil dropper bottle... i think it is more hygienic to store it this way..


this is how it looks..

USES : it contains all the good stuffs which can keep your skin hydrated and smooth.. you can use it in so many different ways.. you can use this pretty much everywhere in your body.. i have listed some of the uses here.. 1. eye makeup remover.. it removes even water proof mascaras. 2. face moisturizer. i have been using this recipe for past two months and it definitely helped my skin to become soft and smooth. 3. hand cream. 4. cuticle oil 5. eye cream.. it contains vitamin e and almond oil which helps in reducing wrinkles and dark circle.6. hair mask.. vitamin e helps in hair growth..7.lip balm.. you can apply this at night time and wake up with soft baby lips..

I prefer using this during night time.. it may look lil bit oily when you apply this during day time..you need to shake it well before using.. it is very effective on people with dry skin.. you can visibly see the results in a week time.. oily skinned beauties can also use this oil but in lesser quantity than dry or normal skinned people would use.. it wont clog your pores and cause acne.. it is a very good treatment for dull and rough skin.. it is way better than any store bought moisturizers..you know exactly what is there in your moisturizer.. and you can save lot of money.. please give it a try.. i hope you all liked it.. thank you :)

BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT I'VE USED UP AND MINI REVIEW ON THEM..

Hi everyone today i am going to talk about beauty products that i have used up recently and ill give you a short review on the product.. the basic idea is that, i can give you a full on review only when i use the product for quite a long time.. once when i finish the product ill have better knowledge about the product.. so lets get into the subject.

AVON NATURALS SHEA AND APRICOT SHOWER GEL



PRICE : INR 199 for 200 ml.. ( i got it for 99 rs )

This shower gel smells yummy.. it smells like cup cakes.. it is a baby yellow color opaque gel.. it lathers up really well.. i started noticing that my skin has become so soft within few days of using this shower gel.. i absolutely enjoyed every single drop of this shower gel..it feels nice and fresh.. right now am using the other variant from this  range which is also equally good.. only con i have with this shower gel is  the ingredient list.. it contains lot of chemicals.. i have sensitive skin but it dint create any problem in my skin.. so i absolutely loved this one..

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN ? yes, of course..

DABUR GULABARI ROSE WATER

PRICE :RS 23 for 59 ml.

i use this rose water in all my face packs for that extra glow.. i use it as a toner.. sometime i used to mix it with my everyday moisturizer and apply it all over my body which makes my skin soft and smooth.. it has that standard rose water smell.. it is a colorless rosewater..

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN ? i already bought one ;)

LIPICE LIP BALM IN STRAWBERRY

i got it long back so i dont remeber the price exactly.. it is around 100 rs.. for 4.3 g

ok.. i really dint finish the lipbalm, it got expired.. it is not good anymore.. it has got nice candy like fragrance.. i dint like the texture of this lip balm.. it literally feels like applying candle wax in your lips.. this lipbalm has tingling effect.. but it lasts only for few minutes.. only good thing i found in this lip balm is that it has got spf 15.. so it is good for summer..

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN?  no..

BANJARAS SKIN LIGHTENING GEL

PRICE : INR 95 for 100 g

i always loved banjaras , this one is no exception.. this is a great gel moisturizer which gives a nice glow to your skin.. it actually lightens your skin in long run.. i also use banjaras saffron gel which is equally good.. it looks like a pink color gel from the tube but it is actually a clear gel.. it takes two to three minutes to completely dry.. once it is dried it gives that nice glow to your skin..

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN? yes, of course..

VASELINE TOTAL MOISTURE THE MINI ONE..

PRICE ; INR 10  for 20 ml..

i used to carry this in my hand bag.. it is very moisturising.. it absorbs so quickly.. it makes my skin soft.. but it looks lil bit oily.. i dont apply this in my face.. i use it only on my hands and legs.. it is very travel friendly.. it smells nice..

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN? i may or may not coz i have lot of moisturizers to finish.. and i also have mini travel size moisturizers to carry in my bag.. i may buy once when i finish all of them..

NATURES ESSENCE NEEM AND ALOEVERA FACE WASH


PRICE : INR 60 FOR 65 ML.

my all time fav face wash in astaberry's wine face wash but it is not available widely.. recently i ran out of that face wash and i had to buy this one for temporary use.. i have to admit that i really fell in love with this one.. it made my skin soooo smooth... it instantly brightens the skin.. since it is a soap free face wash, it does not lathers up which is the only drawback for me in this face wash.. and i dint like the smell but who cares ;) it does its job really well and it contains all natural ingredients... it is really good for people with pimple and acne..

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN ?  yes

last but not the least..

ASTABERRY WINE FACE WASH.

PRICE : 1NR 85 FOR 100 ML..

i found this face wash long back on snapdeal.. ever since i found this it has become my all time fav face wash as i mentioned above.. in this picture i have two of them one is completely used and another one is brand new. i had to cut open the tube since i was running out of facewash..it smells heavenly.. it has calming effect.. i absolutely love this face wash.. right now i am using nineth or tenth tube.. it makes my skin soft and supple.. it brightens my face.. it is very gentle on my skin.. i looks like a wine color face wash from the tube but it is almost clear with lil bit of pink tint.. it lathers up very well.. you can feel the softness while washing your face..

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN? yes of course.. i bought one already as you can see..

CARRY EVERYTHING IN YOUR BAG WITHOUT MAKING IT HEAVY..

Hi everyone, today i am going to talk about handbag essentials and few ways to save some space in your handbag.. girls and handbags are like inseparable twins.. girls can hardly do without handbag.. if you are a girl you need to carry so many things that are absolutely essential..  every girl carry at least few beauty products to touch up in  mid of the day or to get ready for a sudden outing etc.. so how can you carry everything without making you bag heavy???? in this post am gonna share few tips on that... you can carry everything without making your bag too heavy... Now lets see how.. first lets concentrate on beauty products.

LIPSTICK
In this post ill keep all the product that am showing in my hand.. so that you can have an idea as to how tiny the product is..
girls who does not carry makeup in their everyday bag will at least have a lipstick..lipsticks can change your look instantly.. from day to night.. from formal to party makeup.. you can even use lipsticks as a cream blush.. an average girl have atleast three to four colors of lipstick and it is definitely gonna take some space.. this is a great option for that.    these tiny cute lil lipsticks are from avon.. it is their sample for ultra color lipsticks .. you can get 10 lipsticks for rs 199..  there are different categories  like light shades dark ones.. reds and pinks... i have chose reds and pinks..                                                                                                                                          
BB CREAM

 when it comes to beauty product my absolute essential is a bb cream.. it is a mixure of moisturizer, sunscreen and a bit of foundation. how great is that.. my favorite one is ponds bb cream. it comes in a small size too..


Now this bb cream is a medium coverage bb cream. it has spf 30 PA++.. it is available for rs 75 for 9g..

FACE WASH
Of course you need a face wash.. here i have himalayas mini neem face wash.. rs15 for 15ml..it is good for all skin type.

PERFUME

Everybody wants to smell good..I have mini deo from eva.. it comes in three fragrances.. my fav is the pink one. rs 30 for 8ml.

MOISTURIZER 
if you have dry skin or even normal skin sometimes your hands may get very dry and you can feel it.. so you need a moisturizer.. here i have two mini ones from ponds and vaseline.. both are available for rs 5 each.. you can use vaseline as a moisturizer and lip balm as well.. 

SUNSCREEN
I got a free sample sunscreen pack from vlcc.. this is how the actual big size looks.. the sample pack is very handy and easy to carry.. you can ask for samples in your beauty supply stores.. 

MASCARA 

mascaras are such a magical product that can make your eyes bright instantly.. i have this little mascara from a makeup kit that i got as a gift.. it works really well.. you can find mini mascaras in some makeup brands.

KAJAL 
Kajal is something which exits for so many centuries.. indian women cant live without kajal.. i couldnt find any mini eye pencils.. i usually carry those pencils which i have used a lot and due to which it became shorter.. here i have faces long wear eye pencil..  rs 350.

SAFETY POUCH
I have this cute little pouch in which i keep a nail clipper and it has attached nail file.. couple of safety pins and hair pins, hair band.. i have a two rs coin in case my mobile died out of battery which happens to me all the time and i need to make an emergency call, i can use it, of course i have my purse but still you need to have a coin..

you can literally store all the products that i have shown above in this little pencil pouch. i have even added a hand sanitizer , a band aid in this pouch...


OTHER STUFFS

PEN AND NOTEBOOK..
I think the picture is self explanatory.. ;)

MEDICINE 

If you are under medication and you need to carry some medicines with you this is a cute little way.. find some small container like this and put your medicines inside the container.. or you can even carry your mouth freshner like tic tac etc..   

WALLET 
                                                                           I have a huge leather wallet which is very heavy.. but i dont need all the cards and things everyday.. so this is what i carry most of the time.. a card holder which contains my id, drivers liscence, and important card that i need for the day and some cash...

we have saved all these space to carry other important things such as WATER BOTTLLE, books.. carry a large water bottle. you need to drink lot of water.. keep yourself hydrated throughout the day and books are like a good friend.. expand your knowledge by reading books.. since you have so many spaces left you can carry few other feminine things, some healthy snacks, tissues, mobile, lighter etc

I hope you like it thank you :)..
