Hi All,

(shades-186,211)

First product is a nail-polish remover by Misslyn Cosmetics.This nail polish remover is acetone free...it's so cool.The nail-polish remover works well and removes the nail-paint easily from the nails without harming the nails and cuticles.It's good.

"This gentle acetone-free nail polish remover is perfect to remove all traces of nail polish. The aloe vera helps to nourish and revitalise your nails and prevent them from drying out."

Price: AED 29
Quantity: 125 ml / 4.22 fl oz


Second product is a nail-polish in the shade 186,Oriental Carpet.It's a deep-blood red nail-polish.It is very pigmented and the brush spreads the product evenly onto the nails.The consistency of the product it not very runny or thick and is very easy to work with.Applied two-coats and it covered the nails perfectly.
This nail-polish stayed on the nails for five days without chipping.It started wearing-off from the tip of the nails after that.But,on the whole the product is of really a good quality and I am totally loving the deep red shade.It's lovely!
Also,I would like to mention that all the details like shade number,name,quantity and shelf-life re mentioned on the transparent-glass-packaging which is really nice.

"
Elevate your fashion quotient with this nail polish. It offers a compact design that prevents the application process from getting messy. With high pigmentation, it does not chip or crack and lends a long-lasting effect.
"

Price: AED 28
Quantity: 10ml / 0.3 fl oz
Shelf-life: 24 months

Third product is again a nail polish.But,this is from the gel effect duo range by Misslyn Cosmetics.It's in the shade 211,Sunset Boulevard.Perfect orange-coral shade for the summer-season.
There are two steps : Step 1 is to apply the actual shade and step 2 is to apply the clear-top coat.
The packaging is very different from the normal Misslyn Nail Polish-collection.The product(actual-shade) comes in a transparent-glass with a black coloured lid.The top coat also comes in a see-through glass-packaging with a black-coloured lid.
All the details like shade number,name,quantity etc are mentioned on the packaging.
The consistency of the product is gel like and very pigmented.
Two-three strokes and we are good to go.It spreads on the nails very well.The nail-polish actually gives a gel-finish-look to the nails once topped up with the top coat.

"
Bright shine and color that look like you just left the nail salon: The perfectly matching duo with gel effect transform boring nails into radiant eye-catchers in a few minutes with minimum effort.

Gel effect color: 
Smooth and stripe-less result due to the perfect combination of a supple texture and a perfectly curved brush.Includes a highly effective gel suspension which forms a film and thus facilitates the application and improves the coverage of the lacquer.

Gel effect top coat:
Glossy gel-effect shine: An effective UV- filter protects the color from fading and provides long-lasting brilliance and increased durability thanks to the innovative formula.Besides, the Top Coat dries your color lacquer in record speed.

Skin compatibility dermatologically approved. Suitable for sensitive skin. Free from formaldehyde.
Step 1: gel effect color: 
Apply 1- 2 thin layers of your chosen color on your nail

Step 2: gel effect top coat:
Apply the top coat on the still wet nails, so that it can dry them in record speed 
"


Claims : Quick drying.Extreme shine.Lasts upto eight days.No Light

I applied two-coats of the nail-polish and then topped it up with the clear-top-coat.Both applied very smoothly.The actual gel effect colour and the top coat dried down pretty fast.
I love the shade sunset boulevard and it's glossy-gel-finish.The actual shade and the to coat are of amazing quality and actually lasted for six days on my nails.Formaldehyde-free nail-polishes are always good for the skin as they don't put us to a risk of skin-reactions,irritation etc.Also,these nail-polishes are dermatologically approved and suitable for sensitive skin.

Price: AED 20-30 / EURO 7.90
Quantity: 10ml each
Shelf-life: 24 months

Swatch:

P.S. : There are thirteen shades available(according to the official website) in the gel effect  duo collection.

Overall I really am loving the nail-polishes and the  remover by Misslyn Cosmetics.I recommend checking out their nail-polishes.They have awesome nail-polish collections .If you are looking for formaldehyde-free nail-polishes and acetone-free removers,I suggest trying out from Misslyn Cosmetics.

Rating : 4/5

Will I re-purchase?
Definitely.Also,I would be checking out other shades from Misslyn's nail-polish collection.

Review : Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipsticks Shades : 360 &180

Hi All,

Hope you are doing fine!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipstick Collection.
Rimmel is one of my favorite makeup brands.They have everything from kohls to lip-liners to foundations to lipsticks and so on.Their products are of really good quality.I trust Rimmel. The Moisture Renew lipsticks looked very appealing because of their packaging and hence I went ahead and checked these out at the counter.Let's find out together if these lipsticks worth purchasing!!!

Product-Information:
  • Moisturizes lips without compromising on colour!
  • Vitamin A,C,E enriched formula that drenches lips in intense colour and moisture.
  • SPF 20 keeps the lips protected!(According to www.nykaa.com,not mentioned on the official website of Rimmel London though)
  • Ultra lightweight, comfortable to wear all day.
  • A burst of brilliance in a rainbow of shades.
  • Dermatologically tested.
There are eighteen shades available in the moisture renew lipstick collection and I picked two of them namely 360,As You Want Victoria and 180,Vintage Pink.
                                      



Price : INR 500 / AED 50 /EURO 6.49 / $ 9.99
Quantity :  0.14oz / 4g
Shelf-life : not mentioned on the packaging

My Experience:
Shades:
  • 360,As You Want Victoria : It's a heavily-blue toned pink shade.This shade will suit all the skin tones.It's a bold and beautiful shade.Can be worn at any occasion.I have been using this shade non-stop.It's really a very nice shade.
  • 180,Vintage Pink : It's a flat out mauvy-pink shade.It's a neutral shade.Will suit all the skin tones.Can be worn on an everyday basis.I love this shade.
Swatches:

Packaging:
The lipaticks in the Moisture Renew collection come in tube that has silver base and a purple-blue coloured cap/lid.The packaging looks really nice. Rimmel's logo is embossed at the top-head of the lid.The details like shade number,name,quantity are mentioned on the tube itself.Packaging is sturdy and travel-friendly.I like it.
                                            

Formula & Texture:
  • Texture of these lipsticks is very buttery-soft and smooth,experienced no tugging or pulling...simply wow!
  • Pigmentation-The product is very pigmented.One single swipe is enough to cover any pigmentation on the lips.
  • Satin/glossy finish
  • Full colour pay-off in one single swipe
  • Very comfortable on the lips
  • Light-weight lipsticks
  • Keeps the lips moisturized
  • Not transfer-proof
  • Not smudge proof
  • Leaves a stain behind on the lips,especially the darker shades like 360, As You Want Victoria.                                          

In Pic : Shown Moisture Renew Lipsticks
Top to Bottom 360,As You Want Victoria & 180,Vintage Pink
Fragrance:
The lipsticks in the moisture renew collection have a strong sweet-fruity fragrance that lingers after the product- application.It fades away as the time passes.But,yes it's very strong.I am fine with it as it just goes away after some time ,so it's not really a problem.

Effective/Worth?
Yes.Definitely.

  • The lipsticks in the Moisture Renew range are very pigmented and comfortable on the lips
  • The longevity of these lipsticks is upto five hours after which the lipstick leaves a stain behind.We don't really need to re-apply the lipstick because the stain looks nice in my opinion.
  • Vitamin A,C,E are really nice for lips.Skin benefits from these vitamins and stays healthy.Great that these lipsticks have Vitamin A,C,E
  • These lipsticks have SPF 20.How cool is that!It's really nice to wear these lipsticks during the summer season.For that matter anytime.It's a big plus point of these lipsticks
  • Re-application of the lipsticks in this collection is very easy, one swipe and we are good to go.It doesn't look patchy as such
  • It has a tendency to bleed though.Using a lip-liner will definitely help.
  • As the lipsticks in this range are very glossy we got to be careful.A hair-strand or anything that will touch the lipstick on the lips,lipstick will get smeared easily
  • Transfers to the cutlery easily.But,we can always mattify any lipstick that has a satin/glossy finish by using a translucent powder.
  • These lipsticks don't really flake off at all.But,might cling to the dry patches on the lips.Better to exfoliate your lips prior to applying the lipstick
  • Doesn't sit into the fine lip-lines...yay
  • Makes the lips look plumped-up and luscious!
Longevity:
  • Stays on the lips for about four hours max. i.e. with heavy meals in between.With light meals in between it stays up to five hours on me.
  • Please note that the lighter-shades like Vintage Pink stayed on the lips for about three hours(max).
  • The lipstick fades away evenly as the time passes leaving a nice stain behind.In case we eat anything oily/greasy,it goes away from the center of the lips immediately.
Cons:
  • The strong sweet fragrance of the lipstick might bother some people.I suggest checking out the lipstick's fragrance if you have a very sensitive nose. :)
  • Transfers to the cutlery etc easily
Will I re-purchase?
Yes

Overall,I am a big fan of Rimmel products in general and these lipsticks are definitely worth a try.I like the packaging and formula of these lipsticks.I am really loving the shades that I have purchased.The pigmentation is seriously to die for and the shade-range is awesome too.There are neutral shades and bold reds and pinks in this collection.I recommend checking out the Moisture Renew lipstick collection.

Rating : 4/5
