Oriflame Essentials Face Mask Review

Hello Galz!!
Yesterday I become an Oriflame Consultant Member and bought few Kurtis from BIBA. I'm loving all the stuff I got except one thing, Oriflame Essentials Face Mask.
Just because of a small confusion I am not liking this face mask. On catalogue I can only see the front of face mask pack where " all skin types" written so I decided to try it and bought it home. But when I turned it and read what's written in back side is "for dry skin". And I am one of the oilies so it was a big no for me but I applied it on my sister's face and what she has experienced is describe here.

What it claims : Essential face mask brings nourishment and intensive moisturization. Use it whenever your skin looks dull and lacks moisture. Take 10 minutes and feel lavishly soft and gorgeously nourished.
It contains cotton seed oil and vitamin E for extra moisture.

How to use : Apply on cleansed face and neck. Leave for 10 minutes and rinse off with water.

Ingredients : AQUA, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERIN, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL,HYDROGENATED POLYDECENE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER, GOSSYPIUM OIL, SODIUM ACRYLATE/ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER,IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, CETEARETH-20, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE,PARFUM, TETRAHYDROXYPROPYL ETHYLENEDIAMINE, XANTHAN GUM, ISOHEXADECANE, ALLANTOIN,LACTIC ACID, POLYSORBATE 80, SORBITAN OLEATE

My elder sis with mask.. :)

Price : INR 59/- for 12 ml (for 2 sachets).

Pros :

• Skin feels completely moisturized.
• Cleanses face well.
• Good for dry skin.
• Cheap, 59/- for two.
• One sachet is enough for one time mask for face and neck.

Cons :

• Difficult to wash it off.
• Bad option for oily skin.
• It is not a mask. It's a thick cream which doesn't dry out after 10 or 15 minutes, just get absorbed a bit into skin.

Rating : For dry skin - 3 / 5 & For oily skin - 1 / 5

I'll not recommend it but if dry skin beauties wanna try it for just experiment you can buy it but completely no-no for oily skin beauties.

Have you tried this face mask?

Makeup Tip : How To Get Straight Eyelashes To Curl?

If you have straight eyelashes and want to curl it and wish to hold that curl all day long then this Makeup tip is definitely for you. :)

Buy both waterproof and curling mascara which contains more wax than oil in them which helps to preserve the hold they have on your lashes , as well as their ability to hold a curl.
Using blow dryer and heating your lash curler a bit also a way to keep curl for long but I avoid it because it has chances to damage lashes.
Just make sure to apply mascara just after curling, which will help hold the shape.

If you're on budget, Maybelline New York's Full & Soft Mascara in the waterproof formula lengthens, thickens and will hold all day.

Plz comment and tell me whether you like it or not ?

Blue And Pink Eye Look

Hello Butterflies!!
Today I am gonna show you a bold and bright eye makeup which is kinda inspired by Kelly Rowland's eye makeup. 

Beautiful Kelly Rowland was wearing this eye makeup when she hosted a launch party for her recently released album entitled Here I am.


I just twisted the look in my way and here is what I done -


1) Prepare the eye lid with primer and apply loose powder. Then apply a thick black eye liner on upper lash line, here I used MAC black eye pencil.

 2) Use bright shimmery and dark blue shade on whole eye lid.

3) Also apply dark blue eye shadow on lower lash line and use pink eye shadow on crease and above the crease. Then blend both the colors with eye brush.

 4) Apply kajal or gel eye liner on water line with loads of mascara.

5) Define brow with eyebrow brush and use same color of eye shadow if needed. If you want you can also use thick or thin eyeliner.

Like it or hate it ?

Makeup Tip : Get Bambi Eyelashes Without Mascara

Hello beauties!
Sorry for not posting in the morning :(  I was in Chitrakoot in M.P. Visited so many temples and had fun. :)

Today's super Sunday makeup tip is How to get Bambi eyelashes without mascara?

Image source : Google

You don't need mascara to make your eye lashes stand out. YES. Just add eyeliner.
To get voluminous looking lashes, apply dark brown or black waterproof eyeliner to the upper rim of your eye -- not on top of the lashes, but in between and underneath them. This gives the illusion of thicker and fuller eye lashes without having a lined eye.

Hope you'll find it helpful. :)

Hair & Care : Silk-n Shine Hair Potion

Hello Galz!

Recently I picked this tiny bottle of Silk-n Shine, but there is a story behind this buying. I was roaming with my husband to get some stuff but then unexpectedly we decided to meet his friend and family. Suddenly my eyes stopped on my hairs and I noticed that my hairs were looking so frizzy because of heavy and beautiful wind. I was loving the breeze but it totally messed up my hairstyle, so I stopped by near a shop where I ask for Livon but he said he has Silk-n Shine of Hair & Care. I was in rush so got this very tiny bottle to tackle the hair situation.

Nivea Refreshing Face Wash

Aloha Ladies!

Today I'm reviewing Nivea Visage refreshing face wash. I usually shop for cosmetics from NewU where I find this Nivea Face Wash. I bought it just because I wanted to try something new and SA really forced me to buy this by praising it too much. So here is it finally.

Nivea Visage Refreshing Face Wash Claims - NIVEA VISAGE DAILY ESSENTIALS REFRESHING WASH GEL is a soap free, lightly gel which purifies and invigorates for a fresh skin feeling. To keep normal and mixed skin fresh and supple all day long, its natural moisture balance should be respected even during cleansing.

How it works : Whilst cleansing it is important to respect your skin's natural moisture balance to keep your skin fresh and hydrated all day long.

Its enriched with Vitamins & Natural Lotus Extract, gently yet effectively cleanses your skin:

• By purifying your skin and removing dirt whilst respecting your skin's own lipids, preventing skin dehydration.
• The refreshing formula invigorates and hydrates your skin.

The skin is deeply purified for a fresh skin feeling.

How to use : Apply to wet face and neck by gently massaging in small upward circular strokes whilst avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

Price : 99/- for 75 ml.

Packaging : It's a transparent tube with white cap. I like it's tube which is very light bluish in color but one can see content from outside. Cap opens with flip like any other normal face wash.

 Texture : It's in gel form and very light blue in color. It's a mild face wash.

My verdict : I like this face wash but my skin is oily-combination and I personally prefer foaming face wash, but this one does not lathers. It's very mild and can be used for daily routine. It cleanses skin very nicely and after using this my face can survive without moisturizer. When I tried to wash it off with normal tap water it took time to leave my skin which irritates me a bit . I think it's best for dry skin and girls who prefer mild face wash which lathers less.

 After rubbing it with water on my hands it looks like this -

Pros :

• Very nice and pleasant smell.
• Cleanses face nicely.
• Very mild. Soap Free.
• It does not run out of its tube because of its perfect gel form.
• No need of moisturizer after using this.

Cons:

• Lathers a bit. It gives very less foam.
• Little difficult to wash it off.

Rating : 3 / 5 ( minus 2 because of its two cons ).


I will not recommend it to those who likes foamy face wash like me. :)
