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



My search for a good oil control compact has finally ended with Lotus Herbals Purestay Long Lasting Face Powder. I prefer using compact over a foundation as it sets the makeup and also controls oil to a great extent.

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




Claims:


Ingredients:


Packaging:




Swatch:



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
