Vedic line papaya face cream review !!

Now a days my skin dries a lot...after coming from my India trip,may be the sudden change of temperature difference is the reason..this vedic line papaya face cream does a quite good job for my skin.read to know more...

price : 210 INR for 100ml

packaging : comes in a tub packaging with  screw lid in addition with a protect lid in bright orange colour.

what it claims?

Get the goodness of papaya to your skin by using this Papaya Face Cream by Vedic Line. Enriched with papaya extracts, this cream is a boon for your skin. It deeply moisturises the skin and prevents it from darkening. Meant to get you fairer and blemish free skin, this cream is just the right pick for you.

My views : 

yes..it's a right pick for me...it moisturises skin very well especially if your skin suffering from more dryness or if u have a dry skin.i have a combination skin....its not good on my skin when i was in India,i felt  a bit of oiliness ...as i said earlier..but now it works amazing..it keeps me moisturising till the next face wash.

it has a fruit scent..i cant say exactly papaya..but i like the smell.its  white in colour and thick in consistency 

i bought if from jabong.com ,you also can buy it online Here 

overall,its a very nice product for dry to combination skin ,but oil skin beauties good to keep away from this i wish this product is available in tube form  !!

Its very good for the price and quantity provided 

Hope my review is helpful..

Do share your thoughts..;)

beauty UK compact face powder Review !!

This is the product i used in my India trip,almost each and every single day when i stepped out,by  seeing the pictures,you can notice i hit the pan (yayyy) thumbs up for this cute compact ! lets see y?

Price: £3.99 

My compact is broken due to heavy usage ..hehe...:)

Available shades : 4

what it claims?

Achieve lightweight, enhanced coverage from this must have compact powder. Presented in a gorgeous glossy black case with flip lid, large mirror and applicator puff.

above image taken from beauty UK website here

my take on this product :

i was using rimmel translucent compact powder earlier bt after i got this i am using this till now continuously..the shade 3 perfectly matches my skin tone .the compact powder in shade 3 just mattifies the oiliness on my face.

                              swatch for shade 3  without and with flash

it comes with a mirror and very good applicator puff .its travel friendly,you can just keep in your hand bag.as i mentioned earlier .it has mirror too ..so no need to keep an additional mirror for your touch up's.its just evens out my skin easily..i love this and i will get one more soon...its a steal for the price !!

i really hate the stickers attached by these super drug people ,i cant even see the ingredients list clearly ..oops...

beauty UK products are available in super drug stores across UK or else ypu can get online from thier website Here

Take care !!

Sleek Face Contour Kit in Medium Review & FOTD !!

Hi beauties..Today i will be reviewing sleek face contour kit !! i read lot of good reviews about this..finally i got my hands on this 3 months back, i think now its its time to review this beauty...

Price : £6.49 for 14 gms.

Available shades : Light,Medium,Dark

What sleek claims?

The Face Contour Kit combines a dark matte pressed powder and an illuminating highlighter, in a handbag-friendly mirrored palette. Contour Kit works to sculpt your features and has amazing slimming effects

                                        Without and with flash

My views :

Well,i have chosen the shade medium,i think this is the perfect shade for most of the Indian skin tones.The both contour powder and highlighter are smooth in texture.the highlighter contains a bit shimmer which is good for both day and night times.they both stays on me for around 5-6 hours..after that starts fading . the contour powder is completely matte.i love the packaging of course with inbuilt mirror.

                                                              
                             with and without flash 

The only con i can say is availability.sleek is only available in  superdrug stores in UK.otherwise you can get online from sleek wesite here

Barry M TMLP Lipstick Review !!

Hello beautiful ladies !!! how r u all...sorry for being MIA for long time.

Where have I been?

I went to India for vacation.i stayed there for 2 months..i really had a good time.enjoyed with parents & family !!missing all of them very badly now....

Any ways now coming on to today's review ...its a magic lipstick ..i should say.Its basically a green lipstick.when you apply the lipstick it turns into beautiful pink shade.Alkali level of your lips determines how pink the colour will go.

price : £4.49

My Experience :

This is my first lipstick from Barry M ..it's a lip paint..touch of magic !!.it stays almost 8 hours on my lips with little bit of fading ,even it survives meals.

Waterproof formula with aloe vera, lasts up to 8 hours.As i said earlier Alkali

 level of your lips determines how pink the colour will go...so be careful while

 applying the lipstick. The price is also reasonable.if you are a lover of 

vibrant pink shade you should get it..its a steal !!


I did a water test as well...i swatched on my hand  and washed with soap too...but the stain still there..i shld have taken pic before water test..but i forgot..:(

and here ..i am wearing..

Happy weekend Lovelies..

Stay beauiful and keep smiling !!
