Claim by the product –To give that perfect shimmer to your eyes for your party look                                            

                                                       Against Animal Testing

My experience with the product:

My Thumbs UP for:

·        4 shades-  1)Pure turquoise 2) Mint green 3)Silver Grey 4)Forest Green

·        Cute little box which is transparent with the 4 cubes inside it which also comes in 4 small boxes. So easy to handle, and like other eye shadows will not merge with each other on the palette.

·        You can use it for your Smokey eye look and also the mint green and turquoise shade can be teamed up together to give you that extra zing(I have tried it at a party and everybody loved it, I will give a tutorial on how I did it later J )

·        No need of buying a separate kit of Smokey eye shades.

·        Stays on as long as you don’t remove it or it is wiped off.

·        Though not gel based, still the texture is smooth and pearly.

·        The shimmering effect is well felt.

·        It will last you for over a year.

    

My Thumbs DOWN for:

·        The price is a bit on the higher side.

·        No applications brush provided with the kit, so if you don’t own one, it’s a problem.

·        As said by the sales person, availability might be an issue.

My Overall Verdict:      I will give it a rating of 4.5/5.

                                         I will definitely buy it again.

Review on Body Shop Primer

The Body Shop – LIP & CHEEK STAIN (shade-rose pink)

Price – Rs 600/= (I got it for Rs 480/=, I got it for 20% discount)

Quantity – 8ml

Claim by the product –     Against Animal Testing

My experience with the product:

My Thumbs UP for:

• A multipurpose solution to all my problems of buying different primers. This product can be used as a base primer for your lips (before applying lipstick), Cheek (before applying blush on) and moreover I have tried it as an eye primer (before applying eye shadow) and it worked wonders.
• Price is very less compared to the benefits it provides.
• Very nice cute little bottle, so can be carried in a purse and also travel friendly
• This Intensifies eye shadow color
• Prevents eye shadow from smudging, lipstick from spreading out and blush on lasts longer than it should
• Comes with an easy-to-use applicator.
• The product is liquid like and so easy to spread on your eyes, cheek and lips
• Gives more sparkle to your eye shadow, lipstick and blush on.

My Thumbs DOWN for: I have not yet found out any major drawbacks. It is a new product by Body Shop.

My Overall Verdict:      I will give it a rating of 5/5.




 

I will definitely buy again, as soon as I can finish this present one

The Party season is here

The Body Shop-Cranberry Joy (Shimmer Lotion)

Quantity-250 ml         Price – Rs 775/= (I got a discount of 20% i.e. Rs 620)

Claim by the product – Body lotion to give a shimmering effect.

                                         Against Animal Testing

Product Ingredients- Cranberry seed oil, shea butter from Ghana, Sesame seed oil, it also contains Mica, probably to give the shimmering effect.

My experience with the product:

My Thumbs UP for:

• The immediate thing about this product is the packaging. Comes in a pump bottle, which can easily be locked by twisting the pump cap. It can be taken during travelling without having to worry about spillage
• The colour of this bottle is cherry red with cherry motives on it, which gives it a Christmassy feel (this product is only available during Christmas, as said by the sales-person, and so is a limited edition).This might be a hindrance because if you want it during other times of the year you might not get it.
• The smell is mesmerizing; you can almost feel berries all over your body. So this might not be a good choice for guys, unless, they don’t have any objection at being smelling fruity.
• It has got a nice liquidy texture, thus easily blends into your skin. Quickly absorbs ito the skin,so no sticky skin effect.
• The claim of being shimmery is well justified, it almost gives you a glittering effect if used in a large amount.
• Though not a winter moisturizer, it is very light; still it can be used as a make-up base. No need of putting extra shimmer after make up. May be it has been purposefully formulated for this party season.
• The smell lingers through your body for a long time

My Thumbs DOWN for:

·         No smaller packaging of 50ml or 100ml.

·         Not available all year round,though once you buy it it might last for 6 months atleast.

·         If the texture was a bit thicker could have been considered as a winter moisturizer/body lotion.

·         The Shimmer effect is too much. The product if touches clothes also takes up the shimmering effect.

·         Not a daily use product.

·         Might not be a very good option for people with very dry skin/flaky skin, as it might give a very unnatural look to your skin.

My Overall Verdict: I will give it a rating of 3.5/5.

Good product for party season but not to be used daily.

This is the end result o your skin



I will buy it again.
