My Experience:

Shade(023,Chestnut): It's a muted brown shade with mauvy/red undertones...love it:)
Suitable for all skin tones.

Packaging:
•  The lipstick comes in a plastic black-coloured tube,GOSH is written on the lid of the tube
•  Shade-name and number are mentioned at the bottom of the lipstick-tube on a sticker
•  The sticker is colour-coded and matches the lipstick-shade(more or less...true)
•  The packaging is sturdy and travel-friendly
•  Light-weight tube
•  Details like weight and type of lipstick are also mentioned at the bottom(sticker) of the lipstick-tube         
                                 

In Pic : Shown Shade name and number of the lipstick

Formula & Texture:

• Hyaluronic has been used in the lipsticks in this collection...awesome
• The lipstick is called the Velvet Touch Matt lipstick and has a creamy matte-finish(may be because of beeswax, hyaluronic acid)
• The lipstick is very pigmented and glides on smoothly on the lips
• Highly pigmented,in one swipe we get full colour-payoff
• Has very mild vanilla-fragrance


Benfits and importance of Hyaluronic acid:

• Hyaluronic acid is also used as a lip filler in plastic surgery
• Some people apply hyaluronic acid to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers, and as a moisturizer
• There is also a lot of interest in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging

Swatch:
                             

In Pic : Shown the swatch of the lipstick

Effective and worth?
Yes

• Firstly,the brand is cruelty-free and all the products are Paraban free...really cool
• Very comfortable on lips.Need to swipe two to three times to get an intense colour payoff.It can be     toned down and used as MLBB shade as well! Hides lip pigmentation completely.
• Keeps lips moisturized i.e.Hyaluronic acid keeps lips hydrated and smooth
• This lipstick doesn't enhance dry patches on the lips
• The lipstick doesn't bleed,flake or sit into the lip's fine-lines
• It does not stain the lips and wears-off evenly!
• The lipstick has a wear time of around 3 to 4 hours(max)
• Need to do a touch-up after meals as the lipstick fades away evenly.Re-application of the product is easy and the product sits smoothly on the lips

Con:
Nothing

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,I love it so much.It's an amazing shade that can be worn on a daily basis.Very impressed.It looks dark in the tube , but , when applied on the lips it looks muted brown-red kind of shade.Perfect.Love it. Do check this shade out girls!

I highly recommend this lipstick and do check out Velvet Touch Matt lipstick-collection
as there are nice shades out there.

Rating : 5/5

Tip:
Exfoliate your lips before wearing any lipstick specially matte lipsticks else the lipstick will cling to the dry patches on the lips!

Review : GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Black Spiral Volume XXL

Hi Beauties!

Hope you are doing great!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Spiral Volume XXL.Shade name : Carbon Black.

About GOSH Copenhagen:
GOSH COPENHAGEN is a young and innovative cosmetics, bath & body and fragrance company based in Denmark. Founded in 1945 as a pharmaceutical company, GOSH COPENHAGEN quickly moved into the cosmetics industry. GOSH COPENHAGEN products are currently sold in more than 75 countries throughout the world.

All product development, production and distribution take place from our head office in Denmark, as we see no better way than overseeing all the steps ourselves. This way we ensure all products under the GOSH COPENHAGEN brand embody our identity and values.

Product Description:

Boombastic Swirl Mascara gives lashes XXL volume and spectacular length. XXL Swirl up volume and spectacular length and a giant swirled rubber brush are the keywords of the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara. The formula of the Boombastic Swirl mascara is full-bodied, creamy and really spreadable. It blackens and thickens the lashes without making them look clumpy or spidery. The added Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract gives lashes a boost whilst a synergy of waxes and olive oil adds nourishing properties to the formula.

The vibrant green container reflects the infused bamboo extract while the artwork brings the swirled brush to mind with the discreet swirled O in Boombastic. The present Boombastic mascara is one of the bestselling mascaras within the GOSH Cosmetics mascara assort­ment and with the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara now added to the Boombastic mascara range, anyone can find a Boombastic mascara for every look and mood.

The brush:
A giant swirled rubber brush with bristles at the tip grabbing even the tiniest lashes for application. The unique spiral shaped combination of bristles and discs creates spectacular volume and length.
• XXL Volume
• Spectacular length
• Giant swirled rubber brush
• Bristels at the tip allows even more precise application
• Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract improves lashes volume and vitality and makes them stronger, nourished and moisturised

Price : AED 80

Quantity : 13 ml /  0.4 fl oz US

Shelf-life : 6 months

Ingredients :

Source : https://www.superdrug.com/Make-Up/Eye-Makeup/Mascara/Gosh-Boombastic-Swirl-Mascara-13ml-Black-001/p/499204

My Experience:

Packaging:
The first thing that attracted me towards this product was the packaging indeed.The vibrant neon-green coloured bottle looked amazing and appealing.The details like quantity,shelf-life and shade name are mentioned on the packaging itself.The twist open cap is easy to remove.The mascara-applicator is very different and swirly unlike any other normal looking mascara.Interesting. Sturdy and travel-friendly packaging.Easy to carry in your handbag.

                               

In Pic : Shown GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Black Spiral Volumn XXL

Formula & Texture:
The formula is neither very wet nor dry,it's just somewhere in between and perfect.It's well balanced.
It dries quickly.The moussy-textured mascara is nicely pigmented and easy to work with.
Need to apply a coat and then wait for it to dry.Then re-apply the product on the lashes.This ensures that we get that desired length.

Effective?
Yes.Kind of.

• Firstly, the formula is so nice that it becomes very easy to play with the mascara.
• The wand is long and the swirly-bristles help in coating each and every eye-lash.
• The bristles at the front of the applicator helps in reaching out the lashes around the inner corner.Be careful and do not poke your eyes.
• Applying two to three coats of the mascara helps in getting lengthened lashes.
• In order to get volume, we need to apply the mascara for about three to four times.
• It holds the curled lashes very well.
• Smudge-proof : Didn't smudge a bit and stayed put whole day.
• Didn't flake at all.Avoid layering a lot of product,else, It will certainly flake.
• Key Ingredients : Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract improves lashes - volume and vitality and makes them stronger.Argan Oil helps in strengthening the hairs in the long run and bamboo extract keeps the lashes moisturized.How cool is that! Makeup that has skincare-ingredients.Amazing.
• It's water resistant to a great extent.Not really waterproof as such.Not that easy to remove using lukewarm water.Need to use a good makeup remover.

                                   

                                                            In Pic : Shown mascara-wand

Con:

• The actual applicator is very huge and it becomes very difficult to push into the bottle at times.Be patient.
• Messy application due to the huge applicator
• Need to keep layering to get desired volume and hence the product starts clumping on the lashes
• Gives no volume to the lashes
• Some people might find this mascara pricy

Will I re-purchase?
No, as I wanna try other mascaras from the same brand. I had tried Crazy Volume mascara earlier and liked it.
But, I recommend Boombastic Swirl mascara to people who are looking for a decent mascara that gives average length to their lashes.It separates the lashes beautifully.Holds up the curls well.

Rating: 3.5/5

Review : Dr. Neem's Petroleum Jelly with Aloe

Hi All!

Hope you are doing great.

Today , I am going to review Dr. Neem's  Petroleum Jelly with Aloe.So let's get started.
Also,check out the full review of  Dr. Neem's Shower gel(Aloe & Yogurt) previous post.

About Dr. Neem:
To spread the hygiene and healthcare facilities to every door, we, Darlie Global FZC, a sister concern of Allianz International Holdings Ltd., has been working for several decades. There are thousands of brands available; however, they may not be affordable to everyone. To begin with, we invest largely on research and development to produce better quality products in affordable price.

Petroleum Jelly with Aloe Vera

                       

In Pic : Petroleum Jelly with Aloe Vera

Product Description:
The incredibly useful Aloe plant has been prized as a healing herbal remedy since ancient times. Not only does it nourish the skin from within, aiding moisturization, it also provides beneficial nutrients which boost skin functions. Get the real nourishment of Aloe vera with Dr.Neem petroleum jelly.

Price : AED 6

Quantity : 115ml

Shelf-life: 12 months

Ingredients:                             

In Pic : Ingredients of the product

My Experience :

Packaging:
The product comes in a white coloured plastic-tub.The green coloured lid needs to be pulled up in order to take out the product from the tub.There is a foil cover that comes as a protecting shield between the lid and the tub.Once we throw out the foil,it becomes very important to keep the product covered so as to avoid exposure to environmental stresses. All the details like quantity,shelf-life,ingredients are mentioned on the packaging itself. The packaging is very sturdy and the lid sits perfectly on the tub.Travel-friendly and compact packaging.Easy to carry along anytime anywhere.
                                             

                                            In Pic : Foil cover to protect the Petroleum Jelly
                           
Formula & Texture:
The colourless petroleum jelly has got a thick texture.It is easy to rub on the skin.It gets absorbed miraculously into the skin.Doesn't leave any white cast.Non-greasy by nature.

   

In Pic : Petroleum jelly in the plastic jar

Fragrance:
The product smells aloe-like(mildly) ,unlike any other petroleum jelly that I have used so far.It's very different and not that pleasant.The fragrance fades away as the time passes.

Effective?
Yes.It works.

• The petroleum jelly has a thick texture and gets absorbed into the skin nicely.
• Non-greasy or sticky
• Aloe Leaf extracts have been used in this product.That's really cool as aloe helps in fighting skin problems like skin irritations,blemishes,sunburns,dryness etc.
• The effect stays for about 7-8 hours altogether after which you might need to apply the product again.
• This is a versatile product.Can be applied on dry skin,dry nail-cuticles,lips,elbow,knees, feet etc
• It calms the skin irritation/dryness
• It soothes the skin and the skin feels soft and supple
• If used regularly,this product can make skin more healthy...definitely
• Suitable for all skin types
• Apply this product before going to bed to get best results.

Con:
Tub packaging.Need to use either clean fingers to scoop out the product.Better to use a clean spatula for taking out the product.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes.It's a cool product and works fine.I recommend it to people who are looking for a nice product that can help their skin(body) related issues like dry nail-cuticles,dry elbows,knees ,feet etc.This product is made of natural ingredients like aloe vera leaf extracts...that's the USP of this product.

Rating : 4/5

Availability:
In all major hypermarkets & supermarkets in UAE.

Review : Dr Neem Dr Darlie Skincare/ Bodycare Products

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the Dr. Neem skincare / body care products.Recently,I purchased two products : the Shower Gel(Aloe Vera & Yoghurt) and Petroleum Jelly (with aloe vera).This amazing brand has got skincare products i.e.body care,face care...also, oral care etc.These products were launched in GCC few months back and I wanted to try their personal care product-s.So,let's find out more about this brand and their interesting products!

About Dr. Neem:

Shower Gel(Aloe & Yoghurt)

                                     

In Pic : Shower gel with aloe vera & yoghurt by Dr. Neem

Product Description:

Dr. Neem brings the multi-power properties of Aloe Vera to treat a variety of skin conditions and the natural wrinkle- reducing properties of lactic acid from yoghurt to dissolve dead skin and tighten skin pores to its range of shower gels. Dr. Neem’s Yogurt and Aloe Vera Shower Gel creates a unique blend of a refreshing shower scent with the healing and moisturizing properties of these two powerful ingredients leaving the skin feeling secure.

Price : AED 16

Quantity : 250 ml

Shelf-life: 12 months

Ingredients:
                             

In Pic : Ingredients of the shower gel

My Experience :

Packaging:
The Dr. Neem's shower gel comes in a white-plastic cylindrical bottle that has a vibrant green coloured cap.It's a flip open lid.The nozzle is of appropriate size i.e. once we squeeze out the product enough amount of the product comes out at a time.Also, the bottle-packaging looks very attractive and is very hygienic in nature.Plus all the details like product-quantity, shelf-life , ingredients etc are mentioned on the packaging.Very sturdy, compact and travel-friendly packaging indeed!
                           

In Pic : Flip-open cap of the shower gel

Formula & Texture:

In Pic : Shower gel(Clear gel with a green hue)

The shower gel has got no colour.It's a clear gel with a hue of green colour.The texture is thin and the consistency is runny.Very lightweight formula.As soon as the product comes in contact with the water it lathers up very quickly.Very easy to work with.Non-sticky or greasy.

Fragrance:
Yes,the shower gel has got a pleasant fragrance.It smells like aloe mixed with a hint of yogurt.If you have smelled fresh aloe-leaves ever,you will understand what I am saying.Also, the smell doesn't last for long on the skin.It fades away from the skin after some time(let's say after ten minutes post shower,ehich I am ok with ).Not overpowering.People with sensitive nose can relax.

Effective?
Yes.

• This shower gel is non-sticky and it is very lightweight
• Retains skin-moisture(post bathing-session).
• Doesn't cause any skin irritations, rashes,break-outs.
• Didn't dry out the skin at all.
• Skin feels refreshed and breathable.Leaves skin feeling soft.
• Main ingredients: Aloe & Yogurt. Aloe is a very important ingredient.It has various benefits.Aloe keeps the skin healthy in the long run.It helps in calming and soothing any sort of skin irritation etc. On the other hand yogurt is a very nice element in skincare.It helps in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The lactic acid in yogurt helps dissolve dead skin and tighten pores. 
• This shower gel is suitable for all skin types and didn't rip of the essential oils from the skin.May be because Glycerin is also present in this shower gel.
• Ideally one to two pumps of the product should be sufficient (during bath).

Con:
Nothing

Will I re-purchase?
Would like to try some other variant of the shower gel from Dr. Neem.

Rating : 4.5/5

I highly recommend this shower gel to people who are looking out for a decent shower gel with skincare properties.

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the The Soap & Glory skincare products : Hand Food & Antibacterial Hand Cleansing Gel from their well-known Sugar Crush collection.

About Soap & Glory:
Soap & Glory has been supporting the Clean of England since 2006*, when we started formulating fun, fearlessly world-class products to give every girl THE BEST BANG FOR HER BEAUTY BUDGET.
Within weeks of our first launch, the word – and the gloss – on almost everybody’s lips was our (now iconic) super-plumping SEXY MOTHER PUCKER™. Soon after, our all-time, dry-skin classic – THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER™ – was voted Britain’s Best Body Butter and our MAKE YOURSELF YOUTHFUL™ anti-aging peptide serum took The Times Beauty Awards Gold Star. The bar was set high. And every single Soap & Glory product that followed has been brilliant.
Now proud purveyor of an absolutely fabulous full range of beauty, body and bath-stuffs, we recommend putting your products on with happiness and abandon, because we believe WHILE BEAUTY ABSOLUTELY MATTERS, IT DOESN’T MATTER ABSOLUTELY.
