Benefit They're Real Mascara Review

I just cannot do without a mascara. I have very fine eyelashes and so a mascara is a must for me. Most of the mascaras which I've used weren't satisfactory. Some used to smudge and also end up clumping my lashes. After I used Benefit They're Real Mascara, I now know what exactly I need or should look for in a mascara.

Pond’s White Beauty All-In-One BB+ Fairness Cream Review

I had never used a BB cream until I tried out the Pond’s White Beauty BB Cream. I didn't feel the urge to try out a BB cream as most of the bloggers have emphasized on the fact that most of the BB creams available in India do not suit oily skin well. Since I have very oily skin I did not bother to try out any of the BB creams. But when Pond’s launched their BB cream I just could not resist as I love Pond’s products.

Attitude Whitening Cream SPF 15 Review

I am writing this review based on my mom’s experience with the Attitude Whitening Cream. Of late my mom noticed that she had a few pigmentation marks on her skin. So she thought about giving this product a try. My mom has very oily skin just like mine. I did not try this product as I already have a specific routine for my skin and I didn’t want to change it. My mom does not have the habit of using any creams daily except when going out. I suggested this cream to my mom because overall I had a satisfactory experience with most Attitude products.

Attitude Toner Normal to Oily Skin Review

Since I am oily skinned, I am always on a lookout for a toner which would help in controlling oil and minimize pores. Since my mom is an Amway Distributor, I thought about trying their Attitude Toner along with the cleanser. The Attitude Cleanser was quite good. You can read the review here. Unfortunately, the Attitude Toner was a big disappointment. Here's why.

Lotus Herbals Purestay Long Lasting Face Powder-Spf 20-Royal Ivory Review

CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup Foundation-Sensitive Skin 260 Classic Tan Review

My experience with the product:

This foundation was gifted to me by my cousin who lives in the U.S. This particular foundation however is not available in India. CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup Foundation is available in three variants: Oil Control, Sensitive Skin and Normal Skin. Each variant has a wide range shades to choose from. I own the Sensitive Skin variant in the shade 260 Classic Tan which is a bit dark for my actual skin tone. The beige shade would suit me better. So I do not use this foundation on a regular basis.

The foundation is packaged in a glass bottle having a screw cap. I dislike the packaging as taking out the product from the glass bottle is a pain!

The foundation is not very runny in consistency. It has a mousse type of texture. It takes around two minutes to dry up once it is applied on the face. This foundation gives medium coverage which is decent enough. The finish is somewhat dewy. Unfortunately my face turns oily within two hours on application of this foundation (I have very oily skin). If I use a compact over this foundation then my skin remains oil free for around 3 to 4 hours at the most. A compact is a must in order to control shine.

The best thing about this foundation is that it lasts all day long and does not oxidize. It also did not cause any breakouts. I like the way it evens out my skin tone. This foundation is more suitable for use during winter when my skin tends to get dry and this foundation will moisturize it well. This is a big no if you are oily skinned. The oil control variant will work better for those of you having oily skin. If you have sensitive skin which is not on the oilier side then this sensitive variant will work well.

In conclusion, I would say it is an okay product. I would have used this on a regular basis if the shade was a good match for my skin tone.

Pros:

1. Evens out skin tone

2. Fragrance free

3. Hypoallergenic

4. Lasts all day

5. Does not oxidize

Cons:

1. Packaging is bulky. A pump dispenser would be really helpful.

2. Does not control oil

3. Contains parabens

4. Not yet available in India.

Rating: I would rate this product 3/5.

Attitude Eyeliner Pencil Kajal-Coal Review

Price: 349 INR for 1.2 g

Claims: 

Extra smooth Attitude Kajal Eyeliner Pencil gently defines your eyes with rich luxurious colour and a velvety appearance.

The long wear and waterproof formula is extremely soft and smooth on application with excellent payoff and coverage.

Packaging:

My Experience with the product:

Attitude kajal is not a retractable one but a pencil type kajal which needs sharpening. I don't mind that as long as the product delivers and lives up to its claims. Besides this kajal, I've used the Maybelline Colossal kajal and let me tell you Attitude kajal is way better. It is smoother than the Maybelline one. It is easy to apply and does not sting. I love the fact that it is smudge proof and water resistant. I'm more than satisfied with the black colour pay off.

You need to be little careful while applying this kajal as the tip is very soft and can break under pressure. Since it gives a rich colour you can apply it lightly.

This kajal lasts for around 7 hours, on the waterline it says on for around 3 hours and then fades lightly (even then it looks good) and therefore removing it is a bit time consuming. You need a good make up remover to take off this kajal. I prefer the Coloressence dual phase make up remover. It removes the kajal effectively.

As for sharpening the pencil, I use the Lakme sharpener. 

The kajal is rightly priced as this product will last long due to its rich colour pay off even though it needs sharpening.

I haven't faced any sides effects whatsoever.

I would recommend this kajal to each and every girl out there. You got to give this a try and you won't be disappointed. I'll be stocking up on more for sure.

Contact lens users (like me) can use this kajal without any second thoughts. 

Pros:

1. Economically priced

2. Long lasting

3. Excellent colour payoff

4. Water resistant

5. Glides on smoothly

6. No side effects

7. Smudge proof

8. Travel friendly packaging

9. Lasts for around 6-7 hours without any fading

10. Dermatologically approved

11. Ophthalmologically approved

Cons.

1. Available only through Amway distributors. So you'll have to look out for a distributor in your locality.

Rating: I would rate this product 5/5

Attitude Lipstick Tester Pack Review

Price: 150 INR

Contents: 6 N (1.1g each)

My experience with the product:

Earlier this month Attitude launched six new lipstick shades besides other cosmetics. You need to buy two lipsticks first and only then you can purchase the lipstick tester pack. I hope this review helps you to select the shade which would suit your skin tone.

Below are the swatches of each lipstick shade from the tester pack. (For a better view please click on each image)

1. Dream Garnet

This is a beautiful shade. Ideal for office and college goers. 

2. Orchid Spray

I prefer applying this shade lightly on the lips as the actual colour is quite dark.

3. Hazel Crush

Not a fan of this shade though.

4. Satin Peach

This is a very nice shade. Full review here

5. Rose Love

This is my favourite shade. Absolutely love it ! Full review here

6. Silky Mauve

This shade has golden glitter particles. It looks weird on me. 

All the above shades are creamy and moisturizing. The staying power is more than 4 hours.

So which shade are you looking forward to buying?

Attitude Moisture Intense Lipstick Satin Peach Review

Claims & Ingredients:

My experience with the product:

Attitude recently launched six new lipstick shades alongwith other range of cosmetics. Being a lipstick addict I had to try them out. So I decided to first try out the tester pack before I buy the full sized products. But you can buy the tester pack only if you purchase two full sized lipsticks. I was like 'say what?' So I had to choose two lipstick shades. I was worried about choosing a wrong shade which would be such a waste. After thinking about the shades, I decided to choose 'Rose Love' and 'Satin Peach'. Now let me tell you why. 

I can never go wrong with any lipstick which has the name Rose. This shade always suits me. So I was sure about this one. So why Satin Peach? I chose this shade as I didn't have a peach colour in my collection. I'm so glad about my choice as both the shades turned out to be really good. So no regrets. The other shades besides these two are not that good (this is just my opinion). A detailed review on the tester pack will be up on the blog very soon. So today, here is my take on the shade Satin Peach.

Just like their other lipsticks, this one too glides on very smoothly on my lips. There is no need of using a lip balm. I like the fact that it is so creamy and moisturizing. It doesn't settle into fine lines nor does it bleed. My lips stay hydrated for long. You need to swipe at least more than three times to get a good amount of colour on the lips. 

The fragrance is not bothersome at all. In fact you won't even notice it. This lipstick stays on my lips for around 4 hours and fades away evenly. No dry patches whatsoever. Even when the lipstick wears off my lips do not feel dry. This particular shade does not contain any glitter particles.The fact that it contains SPF 15 is an added bonus. This is the main reason I prefer Attitude brand when it comes to lipsticks.

In my opinion, Satin Peach is the perfect shade for office wear as it is not a loud shade and looks natural. I love wearing it to work.

Pros:

1. Cost effective

2. Contains SPF 15

3. Perfect shade for office wear

4. Does not settle into fine lines

5. Does not bleed

6. Lips stay hydrated

7. No need of applying a lip balm

8. Creamy texture

9. Travel friendly packaging

10. No shimmers or glitter particles

Cons:

1. Available only through Amway Business Owners

2. Difficult to identify a particular shade if you own many of these.

Rating: I would rate this product 4/5
