p2 Volume Gloss Gel Look Polish in 010 Little Princess Review & Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing p2 Volume Gloss Gel Look Polish in the shade 010 Little Princess for you guys. Let’s see how it fared out.

Product Description: A voluminizing effect thanks to a special plumping formula for the ultimate ‘gel’ look. The polish is formulated for a long-lasting, high-gloss finish while providing high coverage and perfect color transfer. It includes a voluminizing fanning brush for perfect, fast results, as the brush fans out on the nail, permitting application in one brushstroke without streaking.

Available in 24 colors
Content 12 ml

Price: 1,95 €

Performance: p2 Volume Gloss Gel Look Polish in 010 Little Princess is a baby pink shade. The formula of this is very creamy and thick but not too thick either that it feels gloopy. Though the formula is creamy and thick it dries fairly quickly and you don’t have to wait much in between the coats which is always good. It is very nicely pigmented but two or even three coats are required for the perfect look. First coat went on very streaky but second coat was a lot smoother but I have to say that they do go on a bit streaky. As far as shine is concerned they are quite glossy looking and it lasts for a good couple of days and then starts fading slightly. I really like the brush of this nail paint it is very similar to the L’Oreal Color Riche ones which I love but slightly thicker. It picks up the right amount of polish and just glides so effortlessly on your nails covering them perfectly. Onto the part that matters the most staying power, four days in and no chipping at all it didn’t even fade from the edges. The shine has faded a little but nothing much. Really like the way it looks on day four. It chipped slightly from the tips by the fifth day but nothing major. All in all highly impressed with the staying power. On it own it stayed on for five day with a base and top coat it will stay put for longer.

The Good:

Nice shade
Glossy finish

Good staying power

Nice brush
Nice shade range

Quantity
Affordable

The Bad:

A bit streaky

Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you guys few things that I have been testing out.

Here they are:

L300 Pharmacy Skincare Anti-Age Firming Eye Cream – I was on a look out for a new eye cream with anti age properties and the one which was a bit richer. While I was searching I came across this one from L300 Pharmacy. What attracted me to pick it up was that it has hyaluronic acid in it and is fragrance free. I like the packaging and the fact it has a pump dispenser.

ECO. FACE Rosehip Oil – Face oils are really great for your skin and especially if you have dry skin. I was using cold pressed almond oil and it was working fine but I kind of got bored using it and wanted to try something new and then I came across ECO.Face an Australian brand which makes organic oil and it is a certified brand. They make all kind of organic facial oils and I picked up rosehip one. I am really excited to try this one out,

Lumene 2 In 1 Detoxifying Mask & Micro Scrub – My skin has been breaking out a little and in general looking a bit dull so I wanted to pick up a face mask for that. I read good reviews about this one and it looked like a nice one so I got it. It says it has no parabens, formaldehyde donors and mineral oil.

Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure Skin Clarifying Mud Mask – Because of the same reason I bought this one as well plus it was on 30% off. What more can I say.

Max Factor False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara – Max factor mascaras are raved about all the time and they are really great. I haven’t used a Max Factor one in a while now. But one but one of friends recommended this one to me and on her recommendation I got it. This is not a new one and has been out for a while.

Sleek Face Form Contouring & Blush Palette – I really like Sleek products specially their blush palettes and I have read so many good reviews about face form palettes that I finally decided to get it. I got it in shade medium and I am excited to try it out.

Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Moisture Boost Concentrate Review

By Unknown Friday, March 04, 2016 #bbloggers , #beautyblog , #bloggers , #hydratingserum , #hydravegetal , #Makeup , #moistureboost , #review , #serum , #skincare , #swatches , #YvesRocher

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Moisture Boost Concentrate for you guys.

Product Description: Revitalizes skin from deep within. Stimulate your skin's hydration from the very first application and deeply revitalize your skin.
Proven effectiveness: skin's hydration immediately increases by 104 %.
Result: skin is comfortable and your complexion is radiant.
The Plus: an ultra-fresh texture. Tested under dermatological supervision.

Price: 36 USD

Ingredients: aqua/water/eau, dimethicone, glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, methylpropanediol, hydrogenated coconut oil, betaine, alcohol, sorbitan stearate, acer saccharum (sugar maple) extract, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, agave tequilana leaf extract, sodium pca, aphloia theiformis leaf extract , stearyl alcohol,ceteth-20,parfum/fragrance, dimethicone crosspolymer, xanthan gum, salicylic acid, zinc sulfate, sorbic acid, sodium hydroxide, tocopheryl acetate, tocopherol.

Packaging: It comes in a transparent aqua coloured bottle with a white pump. I like the pump dispenser; it dispenses the product nicely and you can control the quantity of product by controlling how much you press the pump. And it comes with a little cap on top of the pump, so the pumps nozzle is not exposed. I wish if the pump locks like the Olay one did.

Performance: Serum is milky white in colour and has this gel like consistency which is neither too thick nor too thin. It smells so fresh and refreshing quite like cucumbers. The fragrance is not that strong and neither does it linger on for to long but people with sensitive noses do smell it before you decide on it. It spreads very easily onto the skin and gets absorbed nicely but it feels a bit tacky/sticky for a minute before it gets completely sunk in to the skin. It doesn’t feel or look greasy and neither does it leave a residue behind. It is moisturising and hydrating on its own but I follow it up with a moisturiser.

I have been using it morning and night for a while now after cleansing my face. In the morning I follow it up with a day cream and in the night with night cream. After using it for 2- 3 days I noticed my skin felt well moisturised and I didn’t get that dry, slightly stretchy feel that I sometimes get and have this urge to reapply my moisturiser/day cream. After a week I could see that my skin felt smoother. All moisturizers/creams glide smoothly and easily over it and get absorbed nicely. With regular usage I have seen that my skin feels and looks hydrated and I didn’t get any dry patches on my face which I tend to get during winters. Plus this hydrates my skin so well it looks more even toned and supple. Another plus was it did not clog the pores and caused breakouts.

The Good:

Light weight
Spreads easily
Gets absorbed nicely
Non – greasy
Hydrates & moisturised
Makes skin smooth and soft
Improves skin texture and tone.
Pump dispenses right amount of product and prevents wastage.

The Bad:

Wish the pump locks.

It is a really nice product and if you are some one who has dry or dehydrated skin you will really like this product. It really provides a boost of hydration to the skin and makes your skin smooth and soft. I really like this product and highly recommend it.

NYX Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer in CJ 13 Orange Review

By Unknown Saturday, February 20, 2016 #bbloggers , #bloggers , #concealer , #corrector , #Makeup , #NYX , #nyxcosmetics , #orange , #review , #swatches , #undereyecorrector , Makeup

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing NYX Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer in CJ 13 Orange for you guys. I wanted to try out a orange corrector for some time now but I didn’t want to shell out big bucks because I was not sure if it's gonna work out for me. While browsing through drugstore alternatives I came across this one from NYX. I have tried few NYX products in the past and loved them but I never tried a concealer from them so this is my first one. Let’s see how this one fared out.

Product Description: Our Full Coverage Concealer hides the villains of dark circles and blemishes with a vengeance. Available with an arsenal of shades and an advanced formula that provides long-lasting full coverage.

Price: $5

Packaging: It comes in a small transparent plastic jar with a black screw on cap.

Performance: NYX Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer in CJ 13 Orange. This is really a bright orange shade. The actual product feels like a stiff cream in the pot but it applies nicely and blends easily into the skin. I like to scoop out a little product and warm it up a bit between my fingers before application and I find it helps in applying the product more evenly. I use this product as a corrector rather than a concealer. This helps cancel out the dark bluish purple pigmentation or under eye circles. You can apply it before your foundation or after it; I find it works fine both ways. It blends easily into the skin and once blended it looks like a tint and cancels all the darkness and you can go ahead with your concealer on top. It doesn’t feel heavy under the eyes and neither does it looks cakey. I love how pigmented this is and little goes a long way. I took me a little while to figure out actually how I much is required before going overboard. So I would say start with a little bit and see what works for you. Though it is a cream product, finish of it is matte so the under eye area doesn’t get greasy or oily but neither does it dry out the area. As a thumb rule you should always moisturize your eye area before putting any product and the same goes for this one. If you apply a thin layer of it and blend it nicely and apply your normal concealer on top of it and then set everything with powder it looks nice and stays put for 6 - 7 hours but after that it starts to crease a little bit but not too much and can be fixed with a light touch up.

The Good:

Perfect colour corrector for skin discolouration.
Blends easily
Highly pigmented
Light weight
Not too oily or greasy
Decent staying power
Affordable
Nice shade range

The Bad:

Packaging is not very hygienic
Might not work for very fair skin.

If you have severe dark circles and no matter what concealer you use you don’t get the desired look and under eye area looks ashy then this is for you. This wouldn’t miraculously give you flawless look but it definitely helps a lot with discolouration and makes a huge difference which is visible. I really love using this product. Plus this is so affordable so I would totally recommend trying it out.

Hope you like this post!!

Yves Rocher Provencal Lavandin Roll-On Deodorant Review

By Unknown Monday, January 11, 2016 #bbloggers , #beauty , #beautyblog , #bloggers , #Deodrant , #lavender , #review , #rollon , #Yves Rocher

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing Yves Rocher Provencal Lavandin Roll-On Deodorant for you guys today.

Product Description:

All the pleasure of the aromatic notes of Provençal Lavandin can be found in this Roll-On Deodorant. This aluminium salts-free formula contains a botanical deodorant ingredient. Enriched with Organic Aloe Vera, it softly protects the skin.
Result : a formula that respects the skin.

Price: 4.95 USD

Packaging: Packaging is a typical roll on deo packaging. Nothing very special. The lid of the roll on is easy to twist both on and off and beneath is a transparent plastic ball which is smooth and glides when touched.

Performance: I love Lavender fragrance and when I saw this one in the store this caught my attention plus it says it has no aluminium salts, alcohol and paraben. The roll on is easy to apply as plastic ball is quite smooth and just glides on the skin and covers the area evenly. The liquid is very thin in consistency and comes out clear. As the consistency of this is thin it takes a while to dry down and if you get dressed immediately after applying it, it gets rubbed off. Once it dries down you can’t even feel it except the beautiful scent that lingers on. The deodorant is transparent and I never had a problem with it causing white marks on clothing. I hate it when deodorant does that. As I told you earlier I love lavender scent and this one is no exception to that. I love the smell of it and it feels so clean and fresh. The deodorant itself is nice and keeps me fresh and dry for long time but at this point I would like tell you that in general I don’t sweat much plus I don’t have a problem of body odour so pretty much any deo works for me. Plus I have not tried it on a hot summer day when I do sweat. But I think this might not be the one to keep in your gym bag. I like using it everyday after taking shower and I let it be if I am at home all day but if I am heading out somewhere I layer it with my Oriflame Nature Secret Lavender and Fig body spray or a perfume.

The Good:

Love the fragrance
Easy to use
Travel friendly
Doesn’t stain your clothes
Has no aluminium and alcohol
Affordable

The Bad:

Availability
Might not be great if you sweat a lot.

It is a nice product if you are looking for a deo that is aluminium, alcohol and paraben free. It has a beautiful fragrance that lingers but is not too overpowering and does not interfere with your perfumes. Might not be the best option for your gym bag.

Hope you like this post!!

Hello Everyone,

Wish you guys a Very Happy New Year once again. Today I am sharing with you guys few things that I have been testing out.

Here they are:

NYX Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer in CJ13 Orange- I have been wanting to try an under eye corrector for a long time now but I was not sure if it is going to make a huge difference or not plus I didn’t want to spend too much money on it. NYX to the rescue. I love this brand they have some amazing products and are so affordable. I went for the orange one because sometimes my dark circles get really bad and I wanted something that can cancel out the darkness effectively. I have used it a couple of times only so will review it in sometime.

Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara- Wanted a new mascara and this one was on offer so I picked it up. Plus it says 3D Volume I want that for my lashes.

Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Moisture Boost Concentrate – I bought this long ago, used it a few times and somehow it got shoved in the drawer and I forgot all about it until recently when I found it during the clearout. I have started using it again but it has been a couple of weeks only and I have to use it some more to be sure. But I really like the way it smells.

Sachajuan Leave in Conditioner – Heard some nice things about this brand and wanted to try out something. I really liked that they have a leave in conditioner with a pump. It is so easy to use plus it smells amazing and the fragrance lingers so your hair smells great all day long.

Bed Head TIGI After Party – Another product I heard great reviews on. I have quite a few baby hair and whenever I style my hair they tend to stick up and do their own thing which annoys me a lot and I wanted something to get rid of it. This takes care of them for me and I like it for that and the shine it adds is much appreciated. Will review it soon.

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Body Butter – I wanted a new body butter and I haven’t tried anything from the Argan Oil Range so I picked this one up. It says hydration for dry skin and my skin is in dire need of that.

Nordic Cap of Sweden Star Nails in NP 20 Review & Swatches

By Unknown Tuesday, December 22, 2015 #bbloggers , #bloggers , #Makeup , #Nail Polish , #Nailpolishlovers , #Nails , #nordiccapofsweden , #NP20 , #reviews , #starnails , #swatches , Makeup

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing a nail paint that I picked up on one of my grocery shopping trip. This is a fairly new line I think, I could be totally wrong but I took notice of this few months back only. They have nail paints, lipstick, lip glosses and body care products. I wanted to try out something from the line but kept forgetting to do so. This time around I went in with a friend so it was bound to happen . We looked around did a bit of swatching and decided on trying the nail paints first. I picked up two nail paints NP 20 and NP 24. Let see how it fares out.

Price: 1.5 USD

Packaging:

As far as the packaging is considered it comes in a square glass bottle with black cap.

Performance:

Nordic Cap of Sweden Star Nails in NP 20 is a dark emerald green shade. The texture of this polish is quite creamy and smooth. Nicely pigmented but two coats are needed for the perfect look. Have nice glossy finish. Brush is a standard nail polish brush round and cut straight at top. Not a big fan of the brush. As far as the staying power is concerned its very good. Without any top coat it stayed strong for three days with slight fading and minor chipping around the edges and by the end of the fourth day it chipped a little more but nothing horrendous. Glossy effect stayed good for 2 days but started wearing of by third day. With a base coat and a top coat the wear time definitely improves and you can easily get 5-6 days of wear out of it which is quite impressive. Generally nail paints don’t last that long on me and I was not expecting this one will last this long. I would have been okay if it lasted for even 2-3 days so I am quite happy with my purchase.

The Good:

Nicely Pigmented
Smooth and Glossy finish
Staying Power
Nice shade range
Not streaky
Quantity
Affordable

The Bad:

Not a fan of the brush

I am pleasantly surprised with the nail paint and didn't expect it would this good. Some of the more expensive nail polishes didn't last this long on me and this is so inexpensive. I am definitely getting more nail paint shades and will get the lipsticks as well.

This is how it looks on 5th day

Hello Everyone,

It's 1st of December today. I simply cannot believe it's December already, this year has flown by so quickly and I am having a hard time to come to terms with it. But with December comes the fun times. Party season, loads of shopping and some great time with family and friends. Enough with the rambling let's get started. With yet another month gone, it's time to share the monthly favourites with you guys.

Here they are:

The Body Shop Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream – My skin has been so dry lately because of the cold weather and my normal moisturiser was simply not enough so I started using this and it has helped a lot in getting rid of the dryness and bringing back the much needed moisture to my skin. Initially I was using it both morning and night but now my skin is a lot better so I use this only at night.
Yves Rocher Intense Hydrating Mask - This is such a lifesaver. An absolute must product for me. This is so hydrating and gets rid of dry patches almost instantly. My skin simply love this this. If you have dry skin or dry patches should definitely check this out. Read full review here.
Nueva Lip Balm - My lips are dry and chapped all year round and gets worse in the winters. This time around I went to the pharmacy to get a lip balm and they recommend this one. Never heard of it before but I went ahead and bought it and I quite like it. It has helped a lot in treating my dry chapped lips. It is quite a creamy and heavy feeling balm but it has worked for me and I am so pleased with it.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - This comes as no surprise to me. I like this a lot. Very effective in removing makeup not that great on waterproof mascara. Works great as second cleanse and as a morning cleanser. So convenient and easy to use. Read full review here.
Sleek Blush by 3 Palette in Pumpkin - I love this palette. The blush shades are so beautiful and all of them are wearable. They look very bright in the pan but they blend so nicely. Packaging is so compact and travel friendly. This is what I have been using for blush the whole month. Read full review here.
H&M Colour Essence Eye Pencil in Grand Cru - Beautiful champagne gold shade and I have been loving this. It looks so great as an inner corner highlight and I have been using just this since I got it. Perfect for people who love glittery eyeliner and would be great for upcoming festive season. Read full review here.
NYX Lipliner Pencil in Bloom - It is a bright fuchsia shade, love it. It is one of those shades that instantly brightens up your face and makes you look more lively. Another thing I love about NYX lip liner is they do not dry out my lips. Read the full review here.

So these were my monthly favourites and I hope you liked this favourites post.
