Keya seth's umbrella sunscreen powder

Today I am going to review about Keya seth's Umbrella sunscreen powder with spf 25.

In everyday life I avoid using compact powder. loose powder with spf goes best with me. after applying sunscreen and bb cream I set everything with is particular powder which is also a sunscreen powder. keya seth is a popular brand in Kolkata. but outside of Kolkata it is less known brand. their products mainly available in online sites. But its popularity is growing. I have used some of  their products which has done good job. That's why today I have decided to review keya seth's product which is another product under less known brand.



price: 170/

weight: 50gm

ingredients: sandal wood, raspberry seed, talc, tinsorb M, oxide color

Packaging : it comes with a big yellow tub. kind of cute packaging.

My Experience: Keya seth's umbrella sunscreen powder has a yellow tone which will suit most of indian complexion. it has claimed that it is sweat proof. though I don't think it is true. I love its sandal fragrance. it does control my oil for 1-2 hours. it has spf with it. so double yeeeaaaahhhhh. sometime I use it as a compact to settle my makeup and it works fine.



PROS
1. SPF
2. soothing fragrance
3. controls oil to some extend

CONS:
1. sweat proof is not true
2. limited availability
3. doesn't have a applicator

should I recommend this ?
 you can try it. it didn't break me out. SPF is a plus point during summer.

HipHop hair removing wax strip(chocolate)

Hello!!! today I'll be reviewing HipHop hair removing wax strip(chocolate).



price :75

quantity: 5* 2 Wax applied double sided strips, 2 depil towelette

ingredients: gum, wax,oil

my experience: I used to wax with veet wax strip. but veet has the tendency to darken the skin eventually. I dunno anyone have experienced it or not. but I have. So I wanted to switch to another company. after going through some review I purchased this wax strip from online. cold wax doesn't work that great.. but if you follow the trick it will work as hot wax. get a bowl of  hot water and dip it into that water. as it is a plastic strip it won't get wet or you can press it with your iron. now mind the temperature. otherwise you will burn it. press it with very mild temperature and your strip is ready. I have good experience with it. it doesn't darken the skin.

Should I recommend this wax strip???
oh yes!! I loved it. you can give it a try. if you feel your wax strip is darkening your skin or you want to try a new wax strip for a change. its cheap and good

rating: 8/10

 

Must have products in the summer

summer at last has arrived in the country... like game of throne our banner should be "summer is coming". because summer lasts very long. we only can enjoy winter for 2-3 months. with summer here comes the tanning. to prevent grip of summer and its tan and UV rays these products must reside in your collection.



1. Umbrella: it is a must have in the tropical countries. it is a big sunblock and sunscreen for the skin. According to a new study by dermatologists says that Umbrella could help shield skin from UV rays.

2.  Tissue paper: In summer people have tendency to sweat a lot. T-zone of face becomes more oily. to remove oil from face and freshen up tissue paper is needed. I like wet tissue paper. but there are also dry tissue paper. you can soak the tissue into the water and apply it in your face. it will fresh you.

3. Water Bottle: In summer our body suffers from dehydration. so wherever you go carry a water bottle. though caring a heavy bottle irks people. but in the summer water based contaminated diseases increase. so, its a safe and secure option.

4. Sunglass: UV rays directly hits the eyes....the precious body part of a human being. sunglass is a must have product in summer to prevent UV ray damage in the eyes.

5. Sunscreen: Sunscreen prevent from oxidization. there are sunscreen and sun blockage products are available in the market. for oily skin SPF 20 is enough. because the skin tends to get oily a lot. higher SPF  make the skin more oilier. but if SPF is high it prevents oxidization. so its your choice. for normal to dry skin people there are SPF 20-50 product available in the market. they need high SPF.

6. Deodorant: In summer tendency to sweat increases. so, pick a good deodorant so that you don't stink.

 Products in the image are

1.  Eva Deodorant Spray, Urbane
2. Aroma magic aloe vera sunscreen gel
3. kara wet tissue paper

Happy summer!!!!!! XOXO!!!!

Makeup Revolution London The Matte Effect Cover Concealer review

hi!!! how r you every body??? today I am going to review Makeup Revolution London The Matte Effect Cover Concealer.

What is a concealer??? why do we need it?
concealer hides the dark circles around the eyes and hides the blemishes and dark spots. try to choose a concealer which is very close to your own skin tone. otherwise dark spots will be more visible. if you choose a concealer with lighter shade than your skin you can use it as highlighter. but mind it, it won't help you to hide the dark spots.



price: 550 rupees (i got it from flipkart on discount)

shade: darkest brown

weight: 3g

ingredients: not mentioned

packaging: it came with typical lipstick bullet. but as you can put the whole concealer into the bullet when you will close it there is no chance of breakage!!!!



my experience: Makeup Revolution London The Matte Effect Cover Concealer has a yellow undertone. it is available in eight shades. 1. MC 02 Fair 2. MC 02 light 3. MC 05 light medium 4. MC 09 medium dark 5. MC 12 darkest brown it is perfect for dusky skin toned beauties for concealing. those who have fair skin tone can use this particular shade for contouring. it has a creamy texture and it blends very easy. it matches the skin tone of dark tone beauties. its not waterproof though. but it doesn't claim to be waterproof. it hides dark circle and dark spots pretty well. but it not full coverage concealer. but blending it it settle into your skin and doesn't move. after few hours it gives a very suitable glow to the skin. it also has the tendency to get oily in few hours. you have to set it with powder in summer days.so if you are into Makeup Revolution London brand you can definitely give a shot with this concealer. one thing i didn't like about the product is that it has tendency to set in the fine lines. it is very disturbing. but in winter days its a big WIN WIN product. it nicely complement the dry skins.



PROS:
1. creamy texture
2. ideal for Indian beauties(specially dark skin tone)
3. blends very well and doesn't leave a cakey effect
4. hides dark circle
5.ideal for dry skin

CONS
1. costly
2. not full coverage
3.availability is an issue
4. set in the fine lines

should I recommend this Concealer ???

I personally liked it and it goes very well with my skin tone and i am in my second tube of it. but i can't use it to hide my dark circles because it set on my fine lines. though it hides my scars and blemishes very well. so,yeah i am recommending it until i found anything better! and it will suitable for dry skin beauties.

lotus herbals apriscrub review

I have used few scrub from different brands... Himalaya, clean and clear and another scrub from lotus itself. but nothing suited me like this particular stuff. that's why today I am reviewing it.



price: 80 rupees for 60 gm

ingredients: water, prunus armenics, powder, glyceryl, stearic acid, monostearate glycerin, isopropyl myrlstate, cetyl alcohol, light liquid paraffin, sodium, lauryl slphate, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, fragrance.

packaging; it came with a yellow tub. you have to squish it to get the product.

direction: moisten face and neck. apply the product in dots all over and rub with wet fingers in clock wise and anti clock wise direction. massage gently, rinse well and pat dry.

claims: 1.Use the Lotus Herbals Scrub that gently exfoliates dead skin cells from your face
2. Some of the natural ingredients in this Fresh Apricot Scrub include walnut shell powder that exfoliates dead cells



my experience: when you squeeze it a thick yellow particle will come out from the tub. I have used another product from lotus which is Lotus herbal white glow. that product broke me out. but this product is life saver. I am using it for 3 years. for oily  skin it works like wonder. it clears the face and brings a glow. it help to refresh the skin and removes  all dead cells. no other product suited me this well. so its my holy grail.

My rating: 10/10

should I purchase this? yes offcourse!!!! using it for 3 years.
