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 !!
