Nivea Fruity Shine Pink Guava Review

Nivea Fruity Shine Pink Guava Lip balm Review


Winter time means lip balm time :) in a girl’s life. Before I bought VLCC Daily Protect Lip Balm (Honey), I had my rendezvous with many other lip balms ;) including Nivea Fruity Shine Pink Guava. So, here is my review on it.

Product claims:

  • Provides long lasting moisturization and a delicious fruity flavour, giving you soft & smooth lips with a light pink shimmer
  • Contains SPF 10, Protects against UVA and UVB rays
  • Skin compatibility dermatologically tested

Price: Rs 129

My views you can use:

What flavours is in it, doesn’t matter to me as long as it’s not too strong or toxic. This is because delicious or bland; I would not consider tasting it knowingly. If you are a fan of flavours and shimmer this product is worth a buy. It is way better than Maybelline baby lips. It decently moisturises and gives nice shine with hint of pink. The shimmer is not excessive, which I like .Nivea has stressed on the point that pink guava flavour is delicious, as if they expect or recommend tasting it.
Well, I scratched & sniffed the pack for fruity guava smell (it says so) but it wasn't there or was so mild that my nose sensors failed to detect:P. So if you bought it for some fun-Sorry.
In conclusion, it is a decent product which offers color hue with good moisturisation. Along with that, it provides (SPF 10) UVA & UVB rays protection. I suggest give this a try.

Overall Score: 3.5

VLCC Daily protect Honey Lip Balm Review

VLCC Daily Protect Honey Lip Balm Review

Winter has arrived and so have the chapped lips! This has aggravated my dry lip issue. To keep dryness at bay I went to a nearby drugstore to buy any balm to save my lips. I have tested Vaseline petroleum jelly many times. It gives temporarily relief and does repair to an extent but I hate the overall feel it gives. So, I was looking for something I haven’t tried yet. Well, I didn't have much to choose as there was only two options available in one brand VLCC, Mango & honey. All other lip care brands were sold out! Ah!!!:-? That shows there are many sufferers and no buyers of VLCC :(.So, I was either lucky to have good one others didn't think worthy of or it is tried ,tested and detested product. Anyways, I chose honey as it is said to have beneficial properties.

Product claims:

  • This moisture rich formula soothes and conditions lips, keeping them soft and supple
  • SPF 15 protects from harmful effects of sun.
  • Light, non greasy formula, provides long lasting moisture leaving the lips supple and hydrated.

Continued use makes lips soft and healthy.

Price: Rs 49

Shelf life: 3 Years

Key ingredients: Honey, Shea butter, Cocoa butter, Octyl methoxycinnamate, Zinc Oxide, Dimethicon

VLCC Lip balm-Honey

My views you can use:

VLCC Honey Lip Balm is undoubtedly a good product, which honestly delivers all that it claims. It is light and non greasy. Having SPF 15, along with conditioning the lips to make it soft and hydrated it protects against harmful sun rays. Guess what? It smells like Alpenliebe! Or maybe that’s how Shea butter smells or honey smells:|.Another great thing is that this isn't a tinted balm thus it can be used as a lipstick base.

It is very slow as far as repair is concerned so, if you are suffering from severely cracked lips then you need to show patience or switch to other product. I will not count this as a con because this one does not even claim that it repairs damaged lips, it only claims to protect and it really does that very well.

Overall score: 4.5

:):):):)J/5 Pretty cheap, hydrates, protects but need to apply again and again.

MAYBELLINE NEWYORK COLOSSAL KAJAL REVIEW


Maybelline Colossal Kajal

I was totally mesmerised by the hoardings of Maybelline Colossal Kajal placed at every bus stop in Mumbai, when it was freshly launched. Back then, I had no time for anything as I was deeply seated in research. Also, I was against the use of any cosmetics apart from face washes, sunscreens and homemade kajals.This is me now :) & I could change anytime ♫♪♫♪♪♪♪♫♫  I just love ♥ Vodafone ads.8->Remember –Little things you do for me, nobody else ♫♪♪♪♫.They are so real and so meaningful. Well, I have Loop mobile :P

Far deviated from the actual review :|Okay I am back!!!

Price: Rs 150

Quantity: 0.35 g

Shelf life: 2 Years

Product claims:

COLOSSAL INTENSITY

Our deepest pigments+ unique tip delivers the blackest black shine ever. Color glides on smooth and so intense!

COLOSSAL WEAR

Never before 6H of smudge resistant wear. Our exclusive color fix formula guarantees intense color results that won’t smudge, budge or fade. No more touch ups.

COLOSSAL CARE

The ultimate in care with a combination of 5 caring ingredients-Olive oil esters, Emollient Butter, Vitamin E, Vitamin C derivative & conditioning agents.

My views you can use:

Maybelline Color fix formula does gives 6 hours of black, bold, smudge resistant look that just don’t budge without the use of an eye makeup remover or oil. It is surely water resistant. It glides easily but needs to be swiped back and forth to get intense look. Considering eye area is very delicate I wish it gives same intensity in one gentle swipe. The one claim I disagree is that it gives blackest black shine. It definitely gives black color but the effect is matt not glossy or shiny. I liked that it has nice eye friendly ingredients but still the whole ingredient list is missing.

This one has retractable mechanism so no need to sharpen the tip. But the retractable mechanism stopped working, so every time I use,I have to manually push it back with my fingers :-S

Overall Score
:):):):)/5  Worth buying!!!

Lakme Color Crush Nail Polish shade 18 & 24 Swatches

My views you can use:

The shade 18 is very nice hot pink color while shade 24  is Mexican pink, which looks Red in photograph(See swatches).

It delivers most of the things it claims :"> .Their so called fancy color lock technology actually works!!! It is indeed long lasting and chip resistant to a certain extent. Off course it starts to chip after 3 to 4 days, but then it’s not heavy chipping. This is far better and thicker as compared to L’Oreal Coloroma cremoso and Maybelline nail paints. It gives nice glossy (not over the top) finish to your nails and yeah :) it dries faster than other nail paints. There are plenty of shades to pick from. Vibrant pinks to classy Reds, funky green to cool blues, Oranges, lavender, yellows & whites...You name it, they have it. Hold on...they don’t have my favorite black and deep brown 8-|:( [-(Anyways, Find your color crush among 38 mood altering shades to complete your look.

Overall Score: 4.5

:):):):)J/5 .Go grab it.
