Makeup 'N' Women

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product   a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage.  About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightl...

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters. I started using the  Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days. I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it. Now abou...

Being a lip product addict, I happily purchased yet another lip product - but this time something to treat and pamper my lips. I had a recent lip allergy situation which needed attention and I was suggested the Uriage Bariederm Levres Lip Soothing Balm for regular usage. This lip balm formula is specially designed for treating severely dry, chapped lips.  Uriage lip soothing balm helps in keeping your lips moisturized, without making it feel greasy. It is fragrance free and almost looks like a non-gooey petroleum jelly product. This 15 ml French goodness has found a happy home in my handbag and lives there almost everyday. I have been using this product for about a month now and it lives up to what it claims. I mostly use it before application of any other lip product and let it sit for a few minutes so it has enough time to do its job and then apply whatever lip of lipstick/lip gloss and I can be sure my lips will stay moisturized.  Pros - Good moist...
