My Experience:
Shade: 480, Red Said Black. It's a coffee brown with heavy reddish-blue undertones. It looks like the darkest shade available in the collection in my opinion.Perfect for the winter season. I lover dark shades and that's why I chose this particular shade!It will suit all the skin tones well.Especially medium-complexioned Indian skin tones.

Packaging:

The lipsticks in the Ultimate Colour collection come in a black coloured plastic tube.Details like shade number,name,quantity and shelf-life are mentioned on the tube-packaging.The bottom of the lipstick has a colour-coded sticker that matches the lipstick's shade the tube holds.It comes in very handy if we have more than one lipstick from this collection.The packaging is sleek,sturdy and travel-friendly.

                                     

         

                                     In Pic: Shown colour-coded sticker at the bottom of the lipstick

Formula & Texture:

• This lipstick has got a creamy-finish
• Very pigmented.One single swipe is enough to cover-up any lip-pigmentation
• Satin-finish of the lipstick makes the lips look luscious
• Very comfortable on the lips and doesn't bleed.
• Doesn't settle into the fine-lip lines.Keeps lips moisturized for a really long time
• Sets quickly on the lips and after few hours looks kind of matte on the lips.Yes,the sheen goes away as the time passes
• Survives light snacks.After a heavy meal,we need to re-apply the lipstick Stains the lips as it's a very dark shade.
• Re-application is easy and layering up the product doesn't look patchy.
• Doesn't flake or feather unless you have chapped lips
• Not transfer-proof. Transfers a lot.
• Not smudge-proof

Longevity:
Lasts for about five hours (max).This lipstick can be removed easily using a makeup-wipe or a remover.Long lasting lipstick...I must say.

Con:
Transfers a lot!

Overall,I love this lipstick and you must try at least one shade out of the fifteen shades available.The lipsticks in the Ultimate colour collection are very pigmented and long-lasting at the same time.There are awesome shades available...from nudes to bold reds they have it all.Cool collection!

Will I re-purchase?
Yes. Also, this shade is an addition to my existing Catrice Ultimate Color lipstick collection. Would love to try out other shades from this range.Love the formula to bits!

Rating : 4.5/5

Tips: Lining out lips before applying the lipstick is a good idea.Also,don't forget to prep-up the lips by exfoliating and applying a generous amount of lip balm.Then,wipe off the lip balm exactly before applying the lipstick

Availability:
In UAE,available at the V Perfume stores.

Review : Essence Volume Stylist 18hr Curl & Hold Mascara

Hi Beauties,

To start with , firstly I would like to let you know that Essence cosmetics has got nice mascaras.My all time favorite is the Lash Prince Volume mascara.And that's why I thought of checking out the Volume Stylist 18hr Curl & Hold Mascara.mascara the moment I saw the packaging!Today, I am going to review the same for you all. :)

So, let's get started...shall we?

About Essence Cosmetics:
Essence Cosmetics is a Europian makeup brand and is very popular across the Globe.
The products are really affordable and are of high-quality.Essence products are cruelty free.
Essence has become one of my favourite drugstore brands.I love almost all the products from Essence.All the products are so affordable and of good quality.
                                 

Product Information:

The creamy black texture with micro styling waxes provides the lashes with long-lasting volume and incredible curl.Mascara for perfectly styled lashes with micro styling waxes for voluminous and curved lashes. Up to 18 hr hold.

Price: AED 13

Quantity: 12 ml / 0.40 fl oz

Shelf-life: 6 months

Ingredients:

AQUA (WATER), CERA ALBA (BEESWAX), PARAFFIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE, STYRENE/ACRYLATES/AMMONIUM METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER, ORYZA SATIVA (RICE) CERA, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, PALMITIC ACID, ACACIA SENEGAL GUM , POLYBUTENE, COPERNICIA CERIFERA (CARNAUBA) WAX, AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL, STEARIC ACID, PHENOXYETHANOL, VP/EICOSENE COPOLYMER, TOCOPHEROL, DIMETHICONE, POLYESTER-4, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, SODIUM LAURETH-12 SULFATE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, TETRASODIUM EDTA, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES)

My Experience:

Packaging:
As I mentioned earlier in the Introduction part, the packaging of the mascara attracted me a lot!
So,the nude pink coloured satin tube with a black twist open cap looks so gorgeous.
The details like quantity, shelf-life are mentioned on the packaging. The weight of the tube is very light.Travel-friendly packaging. The lid closes tightly enough to avoid product spillage.Love the girlie packaging.
                                         

In Pic : The applicator wand of the mascara.Cleanly separated fringes

Formula & Texture:
The formula is moussy, but, towards the drier version.It dries quickly.The texture is creamy.The product is very pigmented and dark black in colour. Lightweight formula....must say.

Effective?
Yes.

• The fully loaded paddle brush works nicely on the lashes.It helps in coating the lashes  around inner-corner of the eyes.Easy to coat the lower lashes.
• The mascara curls the lashes too. Holds the curl for a long time. But, then at the end of the day the effect was gone!
• Very comfortable on eyes. Doesn't feel heavy on the lashes
• Each time we dip the wand into the bottle,enough product comes out and helps in coating the lashes.
• Very affordably priced and easily available.It's a steal.
• Lengthens the lashes in one to two coats and gives the desired volume after three coats!
• Separates the lashes nicely.
• The effect of the mascara stayed around 7-8 hrs (in my case) until I went ahead and removed the product from the lashes.
• Water-resistant mascara , but , not waterproof. Be aware if you are looking strictly for a water proof one.Skip this mascara.
• Flaked ever so little and didn't give raccoon-eye-look.

Con:

• Need to apply at least three coats of the product to get the desired volume.Of course,over coating the lashes with the product will result in clumpy-looking lashes which will not look good.Avoid over application. If you are in a hurry and want this mascara to work in a jiffy.It won't happen.It might lengthen the lashes and might not volumize them quickly. 

• 18hr curl and hold is a big claim. This mascara doesn't stand up to the mark as expected! In case you are looking for a mascara that stays for a very long time on the curled-lashes this mascara might disappoint you.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes, definitely.This mascara is amazing and very affordable. Really good quality mascara...love it.

Overall, I would like to say that this is a nice mascara.I am loving it.It has not disappointed me.It lengthens the lashes beautifully plus volumizes too. Yay.All in all I recommend trying out this mascara.No complains as I have tried various high-end mascaras and faced disappointment! This mascara is quite affordable and works fine. Can be used on a daily basis as it doesn't dramatize the lashes a lot.

Rating : 4/5

Availability:
www.souq.com , V-Perfumes stores in UAE.

Effective?

• Deep black coloured eyeliner.Very pigmented.
• One swipe is sufficient to use.Maximum two swipes should do.
• Very easy to create-winged eye liner look
• The fine tip applicator helps in drawing thin line nicely.
• Thick line can be drawn easily too,if you like thick eyeliner look.The tip is easy to control while applying the product.
• The eyeliner didn't cause any skin irritation. Read it from the perspective of a girl with sensitive skin
• It stayed on the eyes for an entire day until I removed it using a makeup remover
• Water-proof to a great extent.
• Smudge-proof eyeliner. Yay!
• It didn't crack on the oily lids
• The shelf-life is eight months.That's great in my opinion.
• Makeup-beginner friendly product

Con:
Only con is as the time passes it fades away a tad bit. Or we can say the intensity of the pigmentation gets reduced.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes

Rating : 3.5/5

Overall, I would say that Essence mascaras are my favourite ones.They are very affordable and easily available and work better than many high-end mascaras.I recommend this mascara .Girls must check this out.

Review : Jergens Foot Cream

Hi Beauties!

Hope you are doing well!

Feet is the most ignored body part of all times.Ideally,on a day to day basis we should take care of our feet along with other body parts.No body likes dry,chapped and dirty-looking feet.So what do we do? Have we found out a solution? I was looking out for a good foot cream and came across this product from Jergens.

Today, I am gonna share with you my thoughts on the Jergens Foot Cream. Read on to find out if this product is great or not!

Jergens foot cream helps you reveal deeply luminous skin.For external use only. Avoid eye contact.Store away from heat and humidity.

Price : AED 15

Quantity : 100 ml

Shelf-life : 12 months

                                  

Ingredients :

WATER (AQUA), GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PETROLATUM, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, UREA, STEARIC ACID, CETEARETH-20, LACTAMIDE MEA, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL, PARAFFIN, DIMETHICONE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, ANANAS SATIVUS (PINEAPPLE) FRUIT JUICE, CITRUS MEDICA LIMONUM (LEMON) JUICE, CITRUS GRANDIS (GRAPEFRUIT) JUICE, BHT, CARAMEL, DISODIUM EDTA, COCOS NUCIFERA (COCONUT) FRUIT EXTRACT, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, PHENOXYETHANOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PROPYLPARABEN, METHYLPARABEN, FRAGRANCE (PERFUME).

                                      

My Experience :

Packaging:

The product comes in a cream-coloured plastic tube.The tube has got a flip open cap.It's very tight and secures the product well.We need to squeeze the tube to take out the product.The nozzle is of appropriate size and enough product comes out at a time.All the details like ingredients,shelf-life,quantity etc are mentioned on the packaging.The tube is really compact and not heavy at all.Very sturdy and travel friendly packaging.Experienced no product-spillage in the handbag while travelling.Decent packaging.

                                     

In Pic : Shown the flip open cap attached to the tube

Formula & Texture:

Formula : Ingredients like glycerin , shea butter , olive oil, pineapple juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice , coconut fruit extract have been used. 

These ingredients are well-known to deal with skin-issues and make it feel more rejuvenated. 

• Shea butter and coconut extract keeps the skin moisturized.
• Vitamin E present in olive oil is an antioxidant that protects the skin against sun damage and other environmental stresses. 
• In general,Lemon juice helps in killing the bacteria etc.
• In general,Grapefruit is high in antioxidants which fight the free radicals that cause wrinkles, and dull complexion. The salicylic acid present in the grapefruit juice works magically on the elbows, knees and rough patches.                     

Texture: The off white coloured foot cream has a very creamy texture, The consistency is not that thin or runny, it's well balanced.Get's absorbed into the skin meticulously. Non sticky product.

                                         

In Pic : Shown the actual foot crem

Fragrance:

If you have smelled shea butter ever, you will recognize the fragrance of the foot cream.It's mild and smells kind of vanilla-like...it's pleasant , nothing bothersome.The fragrance goes away as the time passes.Very quickly.

Effective?

Yes.

• The foot cream has a creamy texture which is amazing.Soft to touch.No granules or harsh particles are present.Plain cream.
• Nice ingredients.The combo of the ingredients like glycerin , shea butter ,coconut extract etc is amazing. It works on the skin pretty well.
• Very lightweight formula. Doesn't feel greasy at all.
• It gets absorbed into the skin quite well
• Very comfortable.After applying the cream on the feet, the skin feels better.
• Regular usage of this product helped in reducing the skin-dryness
• Also, flakiness of the skin was tackled well by this cream
• As the time passed, skin felt moisturized, soft and supple.
• Won't say that we will get fairy-like feet in just one day of usage.Keep using this product on a regular-basis to feel the effect.A month or so, it totally depends on the severity of the damaged skin.
• For best results, wash your feet at night and apply the foot cream generously.Wear socks and sleep tight.Doing this will help in reducing the dryness and will heal the rough skin.

Con:

• Not Paraben free.
• Contains dimethicone and alcohol
• A bit pricey for the quantity being offered.One tube lasted for a month.But,yes the product-quality is great!

Will I re-purchase?

Yes.

Overall,I would like to say that this foot cream is really nice.You should check out and try this product if you are suffering from dry & rough feet.Must try out once.Highly recommend.

Rating : 4/5

Availability:

In UAE, Carrefour stores and all well-known supermarkets.

First of all, lemme tell you why I chose this product.I love L'Oreal Paris Dermo Expertise Lip And Eye Make-Up Remover,it's one of my holy grail products.Have been using it for a really long time.So, when Loreal came up with their micellar water version, I thought of giving it a try.Hence, this blog-post! :D

Let's get started with the review.Shall we?

What's a micellar water?
According to board-certified dermatologist Hadley King of Skinney Medspa, micellar water is made up of micelles (tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules) suspended in soft water. “The idea is that micelles are attracted to dirt and oil, so they are able to draw out impurities without drying out the skin,” she says. Therefore, micellar water can be used as a facial wash, makeup remover and moisturizer all in one.
“It looks like water, it has the viscosity of water but when you put it on your finger and feel, it has a different texture than water,” says Tabasum Mir, a skincare physician in cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic laser surgery.
Instead of foaming and stripping your complexion like soap and cleansers, micelles dissolve the bad stuff, while keeping the good stuff on your skin intact.

In layman's terms, micellar water is a product apt for removing makeup,dirt,gunk etc. from your skin.

My Experience:

Packaging:
Attractive packaging.Product comes in a plastic cylindrical bottle that has got a pink coloured plastic cap.We need to squeeze out / tilt the bottle to get the product from  the small nozzle.The packaging is very travel friendly and sturdy.Easy to carry along while travelling.The details like ingredients,quantity,shelf-life etc are mentioned on the packaging itself which is a good thing.

Formula & Texture:
The micellar water has a liquid-consistency(obviously).It doesn't smell of anything in particular.The texture is not oily or greasy,it's somewhere in between.Non-sticky.Love the formula,it's very lightweight and effective.Not strong or harsh on the skin.
Glycerin is one of the key ingredients and may be that's why this product keeps the skin moisturized.

Fragrance:
No fragrance.

Effective?
Yes,definitely.

• Firstly,the consistency is liquid(y) so,it becomes very easy to work with.Easy to apply on the cotton pad and clean out the skin.
• It didn't break out my sensitive skin.Skin felt soft.
• Didn't cause any skin rashes.Be careful and don't rub the cotton pad too hard,else skin-irritation might happen.Be gentle.
• Didn't leave any sticky cast on the skin.
• Very lightweight and comfortable
• Didn't strip off any essential oils from the skin
• For eye/lip makeup : use one-two cotton pads...that's sufficient.Take the product on a cotton pad generously and apply gently on the eyes/lips.Wipe in circular motions.
• Removes waterproof makeup in a jiffy! Might need to use more product on the cotton pad to remove makeup(full face). Ideally, two to four cotton pads are sufficient(depends though).
• Suitable for combination skin.Tested.
• This micellar water requires no rinsing.Very true.

Con:
Nothing in my opinion

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,definitely.Bottom line is cleanse, remove makeup and soothe as per the product-claims.I totally agree with it.This product works fine.

Overall ,I would like to say that this micellar water has become my new favourite.
I highly recommend checking this product out!

My Experience:

Packaging:

Wow! The packaging is really cool.The product comes in a cream-coloured plastic tube packaging.There is a flip open plastic cap(green coloured) attached to the tube.We need to squeeze the tube to take out the product.Very hygienic packaging.All the details like quantity,shelf-life , ingredients etc are mentioned on the tube.The packaging is very sturdy and travel-friendly.But, the tube contains a lot of product due to which you might feel that it is a little heavy to carry along while travelling(in handbag etc). I am ok with the size and weight of the tube.Overall , I am impressed with the packaging.

Effective?

Yes,totally worth the money.

• Also the aloe vera gel gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy. Is'nt that cool?
