MBT says-
Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash comes in a sturdy clear squeezable plastic tube with a dark green flip open lid. The lid is quite tight and the tube can be easily carried around in a bag without any fear of leakage or spillage. The face wash is bright green in color with very pleasant scent. Though I could not detect the scent but it is really good.
The texture of the face wash is soft and smooth with gel like consistency. I take 50p sized amount of face wash for both face and neck and it creates a good amount of lather that feels really soft and nice on the skin. It gives a feeling of thorough cleansing. It washes away really quickly and does not leave greasy or sticky residue behind. My skin feels fresh, smooth and thoroughly cleansed without any tightness. It removes dirt, oil and non waterproof makeup effectively but fails in removing waterproof makeup. The lovely smell does not linger with me and fades away as soon as it is rinsed off. It does not tighten my skin and I do not feel the need to moisturize my face immediately. It does help in preventing and reducing pimples and acne after a few days of continuous usage and keeps the skin clean and fresh. It also helps in reducing the redness caused by pimples. It contains Neem and Turmeric that are a boon for pimple prone skin. I have not faced any adverse effects whilst using it.

Born Pretty Store Different Shapes Colorful Rhinestones Review & NOTD

I have a huge liking for colorful nails. I never keep my nails simple and when I am not in a mood to do nail art, I always use rhinestones. Born Pretty Store has huge collection of rhinestones and I was on cloud nine when I saw these new colorful rhinestones on the website. Today I am going to review Born Pretty Store Different Shapes Colorful Rhinestones.

MBT says-
Born Pretty Store Different Shapes Colorful Rhinestones come safely in a transparent and thin plastic bag. The actual product comes in a white, round, swivel wheel case with a clear plastic lid. There are 11 different designs that are neatly placed in 11 different sections. The front of the colorful rhinestones is faceted or smooth while the back of the rhinestone is flat that allows easy application of rhinestones on nails. There are 11 different shapes of different colors. It contains square, triangle, circle, moon, stars, butterflies, tear drop, diamond, heart and rectangular shapes. The rhinestones are really shiny and colorful and look absolutely gorgeous. They are made from acrylic with approximately 2mm-4mm size. The wheel box case contains 400pcs of rhinestones and would last really long.
The colored rhinestones are easy to hold and do not tend to stick to each other. Although these rhinestones are small in size, they are really easy to apply on nails. I make sure to apply a top coat over my base coat and apply these rhinestones lightly on my nails on the desired position using a wet tip orange stick or the tip of my finger. I also make sure to seal the rhinestones with a top coat to make them last longer. I also use it with nail art glue and it really lasts longer than applying the top coat. I simply pour a drop of glue on my nails where I want to place the rhinestone and put and press it lightly on my nails using orange stick. I really do not feel the need to seal it with a top coat when using nail art glue. The colorful rhinestones last on my nails for a good 5-6 days with glue and around 4-5 with a top coat without losing (I do not do household chores!). They look really colorful, pretty and trendy on my nails. They do not lose their luster and feels really light on my nails as if I have nothing on. You can create many designs using these rhinestones. It would also look pretty when you apply these colorful rhinestones over black nail polish or dark nail polish. If you are a nail art addict, I would suggest you to check it out. I am definitely going to use these pretty colorful rhinestones in parties and weddings as they are really pretty and shiny. The rhinestones can also be used to decorate cell phone case, cards, body arts etc. 
In the nail art below, I put the moon and stars on black nail polish and flowers and butterflies on white base.

I am always on the lookout of light and non comedogenic cream. i have quite sensitive skin and when used a wrong product on my skin, I face horrible breakouts. Marj’s Naturals is a US based natural skincare brand founded by lovely and pretty Marjorie. Today I am going to review Marj’s Naturals Antioxidant Day and Night Face Cream.

Marj’s Naturals says-
Marj's Naturals Face Cream is a rich yet lightweight formula that is perfect for all skin types and all types of weather. It is made of 90% natural ingredients and is free from potentially harmful chemicals including Paraben. It contains Hyaluronic Acid, Gatuline Age Defense, antioxidant rich fruit and botanical extracts including Apple Extract, Algae Extract, Pomegranate Seed Extract, Grapeseed Extract, Carrot Seed Extract, and Aloe Leaf Juice, all of which protect and promote a youthful complexion and prevent skin's premature aging. This moisturizer is non comedogenic and does not leave a greasy feel but hydrates down to the deeper layers of your skin. It evens out your skin tone, promotes formation of collagen thereby strengthening and firming skin's tissues, and prevents formation of new lines or wrinkles. 

Apply to cleansed face in the morning and at night.

No fragrance or color added. It has a pleasant smell from its natural ingredients. 

MBT says-
Marj’s Naturals Antioxidant Day and Night Face Cream comes in a sturdy, circular white plastic jar with glossy double walled aluminium. It has screw top lid that allows easy access of the product. The packaging is slightly heavy but can be easily carried around in a bag. The cream is white in color with a mild yet slightly weird scent. It has no artificial fragrance and the scent is of natural ingredients which I really adore as I not a fan of fragranced skincare products. It filled to the brim which I quite liked. The fragrance is noticeable when you apply the cream but vanishes away after few seconds. The packaging is really classy and elegant and looks beautiful on my vanity.

The face cream has soft and smooth texture with lotion like consistency. I simply apply dots all over my face and neck and rub it in gently. It applies smoothly and spreads easily. After applying the cream, I was actually surprised to find that it gets absorbed in to the skin completely without leaving any residue behind. My skin feels soft, smooth and thoroughly hydrated the whole day. I love using it prior foundation as it keeps my face matte and does not make it greasy (especially T zone!) at the end of the day unlike other creams. It feels very light and my skin feels smooth as if I had applied a primer. I have not faced any adverse effects whilst using it. I cannot talk about the age defying effects as I am only 26 to experience it. The face cream can be used as both day and night cream. I do need to apply sunscreen when I need to step out in the sun for a long time though it contains Shea Butter that protects skin from ultraviolet rays. Hyaluronic acid is excellent humectants that hydrates, protects and repairs the skin.

Marj’s Naturals Antioxidant Day and Night Face Cream makes skin look smooth and more even. It gives a lovely healthy glow to my skin with regular usage. It is made from natural ingredients and does not contain harmful chemicals including parabens.

Old Wives Tail Anti Hair Loss Hair Oil Review

Whenever I suffer from hair fall, I always reach out for hair oil instead of shampoos and conditioner. Hair oil must be applied at least twice a week for shiny, black and healthy hair. Old Wives Tail is a UK based hair care brand that aims at providing natural and luxurious hair care products to its customers. Today I am going to review Old Wives Tail Anti Hair Loss Hair Oil.

Old Wives Tail Anti Hair Loss Hair Oil Review

Net vol: 100ml

Old Wives Tail says-
A healthy scalp is vital for healthy hair growth. If you suffer from a dry, itchy scalp just a few drops of SOS will soothe, moisturise and soften your scalp to prevent hair loss.
This 100% organic oil contains natural anti-bacterial agents that soothe and heal scalp infections and remove dead skin cells. SOS has stimulating properties that increase circulation and encourage healthy hair growth.
Directions for use: Massage deeply into the scalp, in particular on the most dry areas. Smooth over the rest of your hair to strengthen each and every strand root to tip. Leave on for one hour. Rinse with fresh water and shampoo. Repeat this process until your hair feels clean and product free. After shampooing you can use conditioner on the ends of your hair only. Rinse out thoroughly and style as normal. 
For best results leave the treatment on over night and wrap your hair in a warm towel.
Do not apply the oil to any open wounds or cuts on the scalp.
Store in a cool, dry, dark place - A cupboard in a ventilated bathroom is fine to store your hair treatment.
Contents: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Prunus Dulcis (Almond) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Flower Oil.
Made with certified organic ingredients only, paraben free, sulfate free, gluten free, vegan & vegetarian, no animal testing. 
If you have allergies to any of the natural contents please do not use.

MBT says-
Old Wives Tail Anti Hair Loss Hair Oil comes in a sturdy clear plastic jar with a black screw top lid. It comes sealed with a thin and smooth plastic wrapper with all the information written over it. It was filled to the brim but customs people opened the lid and did not screw it back leading to spillage of oil in my package. The package is quite light but I wish it was available in bottle with a flip top lid so that I can carry it with me even while traveling. The hair oil looks dark yellow in color with a lovely mixed scent of lavender oil and peppermint oil. The scent is a bit strong but is really soothing to the senses.
The consistency of the hair oil is perfect. It is neither very thick nor very runny. It is quite light and does not feel heavy or greasy. Instead of warming it up, I apply it directly onto my scalp and hair. I then massage it gently using my fingers and leave it overnight to get utmost results out of it. The scent does not tend to intensify and remains mild. I feel it penetrates the hair shaft and not just coat the hair. The hair oil is easy to rinse and does not leave my hair greasy or limp. My hair feels soft, smooth, shiny, healthy and manageable with the first few uses. With continues usage for few weeks, my hair fall almost stopped (I lose 3-4 strands each time I comb my hair!) leaving my dry ends soft and hydrated. It also helps in reducing hair loss, hair thinning, promotes hair growth and prevents pre mature graying. I could actually see a visible difference in hair growth after using this oil. It is 100% natural and organic oil and can be used daily. It nourishes my hair really well and imparts a healthy shine to it. It contains olive oil, avocado oil, almond oil and other certified organic ingredients. It is 100% organic, paraben free, sulfate free and gluten free. It is so light that it can be used as hair serum too!

Nail Polish Remover Pads from EBay Review

As I am a huge nail art addict, I keep running out of nail polish remover. I love Hip Hop Nail Polish Remover Pads. They remove nail polishes quickly leaving them conditioned. Recently I came across 6 sets of nail polish remover pads on EBay at such a reasonable price so ordered it instantly. Read my review to know if I like these Nail Polish Remover Pads.

Nail Polish Remover Pads from EBay Review

MBT says-
I ordered nail polish remover pads from EBay and they arrived in 4-5 days in perfect condition.  I got 6 tubs of nail polish remover of different colors. Each tub contains 30 pads which are pre soaked in acetone and are ready to use. As soon as I opened the tub, I was greeted with very strong fruity scent which I really did not like. It is too strong for my liking. The color of the pads is same as that of the color of the tub. The pads are small and pre soaked in acetone. They are quite thin and small as compared to Hip Hop Nail Polish Removers. 

I was totally disappointed when I tried to remove my nail paint. Wiping it over the nail several times practically did nothing. It dries away really quickly due to the thinness of the pad. It removes very small amount of nail polish and I need to use at least 2 or 3 pads for each nail. Though they did not dry out my nails but this means nothing when the pads themselves do not work!

I have no grudges with the seller as the pads come in sealed pack and they might not know how these actually work. But they really need to do research before selling. They delivered the products in time and in good condition.

CONS:

I need to wipe it a lot only to clean small amount of nail polish.
Need 2-3 wipe for one nail!
Very strong scent.

Overall Thoughts:
Overall I am highly disappointed with the nail polish remover pads I bought from EBay. They are totally useless and a complete waste of money. I would not recommend these to anyone!

MBT says-
I had already reviewed Karen Murrell Lipstick in Camellia Morning and Poppy Passion HERE and HERE. Read these posts to know more about packaging and formula.

Orchid Bloom is a perfect neutral shade that will suit all skin tones. It is a mix of pink and warm brown color with creamy finish. It has sheer to medium pigmentation and can be layered up easily. It stays put on my lips for a good 3-4 hours with light meals and drinking. It fades away completely with heavy meals though. I think it happens with all neutral shades. It is the one shade that I reach out most of the times when I am in hurry. It goes well with all outfits and looks pretty decent on lips. It is a perfect neutral shade to wear in office and at any time of the day.

I am a huge fan of gold jewellery infact I love everything that is gold.

Tanishq 18K Gold Pendant comes in a brown paper bag with a lovely maroon handle. The actual product comes in a square shaped light yellow cardboard box packaging with ‘Tanishq’ printed over it. The pendant sits nicely on green velvet inner that keeps the pendant in place and makes it look expensive. The packaging is very light and looks nice in my jewellery box. 

The pendant is made of 18K gold in the shape of a lovely curvy flower pattern. The pendant is absolutely pretty, classy and elegant. It complements well with all outfits that I really adore.  I wear it at day time and for a night party as well with my gold chain. I get compliments from people each time I wear it. It feels quite light and does not tend to spin around or gets tangled. It is of good size and does not look tacky. I think it would look great on girls in their 20s or 30s. When the light catches the diamonds in the pendant sparkles beautifully.

Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter Nail Art Review

Though I am a huge nail art addict I never got a chance to do loose glitter nail art. As soon as loose glitter comes to my mind, all I think is how messy it is. After trying Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter, I have been using it with almost all manicures. Today I am going to review Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter Nail Art.

MBT says-
Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter Nail Art comes in a small, sturdy, clear round plastic pot with a clear screw top lid. The clear packaging allows you to see and identify the color of the glitter in case you hoard many. The loose glitter comes in 12 different colors and I must say all of them are super gorgeous. I got the shade #5 for myself and it is a beautiful lime green color that looks great with both light and dark nail polishes. It can also be used on its own.

Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter Nail Art is a very fine loose glitter that adheres easily and lay flat on nails. I strongly recommend you to use fine glitter instead of big chunks to avoid any messiness. Before starting your manicure, make sure you put a paper underneath so you can easily clean up the excess glitter and reuse it.

Here are the steps or tutorial on how to apply loose glitter on nails:

Apply a base coat of your choice. I preferred going for glitter nail polish to make my manicure sparkly and glittery. Here I used Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania in Dazzling Diva. Let it dry completely!

Take Born Pretty Store Striping tape and apply it diagonally on your nail. I used black tape for a pretty combination of glitter, tape and base coat.

Apply a clear coat of polish over the diagonal tips of the nails. Make sure you don’t apply it on tape.

Dip the tips of your nail in the pot of glitter laying it flat over the surface and roll it back and forth lightly to cover the whole tip of your nail.

Gently brush away all excess glitter using a fan brush. 

Top it up with a top coat.

Voila you are ready with your sparkly nails.

I always make sure to dip my nails lightly to avoid messiness. This way I have little say very little glitter on my nails and it gets away easily with a fan brush. The fine glitter tends to adheres itself to the polish easily. It feels light and flat on the nails and I have not faced any falling of glitter all over my desk or dress. It stays put on my nails for a good 3-4 days and my nails looks fresh and sparkly even on 4th day. It comes off easily with Hip Hop Nail Polish Remover Pads. This loose glitter can also be used for nail polish to make glittery nail polish.

Sattvik Acne Soap Review

Few weeks back, I had reviewed Sattvik Acne Mask (Read review HERE) which has become my favorite and it did wonders to my oily, acne prone skin. If you are suffering from pimples or acne then I highly recommend you to try this face mask. Today I am going to review Sattvik Acne Soap which is also a hit for my acne prone skin.

MBT says-
Sattvik Acne Soap comes in a green cardboard box packaging with all the information printed over it. The actual product comes sealed in a clear plastic wrapper. As soon as the plastic is unwrapped, you are greeted with a lovely and mild tea tree scent of the soap. The scent is really mild and soothing. The soap is green in color and is rectangular in shape. 
The soap creates a soft, rich lather that feels extremely soft on my skin. The scent does not tend to intensify and feels really soothing and calming. It vanishes away as soon as the soap is rinsed out (As I don’t like fragranced product, it actually do not bother me!). The soap removes all dirt, oil and grime off my skin without stripping off of moisture.  It is easily rinsed away without leaving a greasy or sticky residue behind. My skin feels smooth and thoroughly cleansed. The soap neither moisturizes my skin nor dries it out. I have normal body skin but if you have dry skin then it might dry out your skin. I also use it on my face and I love how effectively it removes all oil and dirt off the skin and makes it look thoroughly cleansed. I do feel the need to moisturize my face right after cleansing my skin with this soap (though not overly!). As per the name of the soap, it does reduce acne and pimples and dries it out. It contains tea tree that is a boon for acne prone skin. It does not get soggy or melt in my soap dish that I really like.

After trying Karen Murrell Lipstick Summer Bouquet range I have become a huge fan of these lipsticks. They come in very pretty shades and have awesome formula that keep lips moisturized for a long time. These lipsticks are natural too that is an added bonus. I had already reviewed Karen Murrell Lipsticks in Camellia Morning, Poppy Passion and Orchid Bloom. Today I am going to review Karen Murrell Lipstick in Lavender Laughter.

I had already reviewed Karen Murrell Lipstick in Camellia Morning, Poppy Passion and Orchid Bloom HERE, HERE and HERE. Read these posts to know more about packaging and formula.

Lavender Laughter is a soft pink color with lilac undertones. It has creamy finish and does not tend to settle in fine lines of the lips. It has sheer to medium pigmentation and can be layered up easily. It stays put on my lips for a good 3-4 hours with light meals and drinking. Though the shade is very pretty but it looks pale on my fair skin. I think it will look pretty on girls with cool pink undertones. It looks great when I pair it with my lilac or purple outfits and smokey eye looks! To make it work for me for everyday use, I mix it with Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Dusty Rose

This month flies away really fast. I am back with the 'Latest Trends I am loving' feature and this time I am drooling over variety of things from sparkly to subtle. Here are the latest trends which I loved a lot:

Glitter Nails
Glitter Nails using Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter


After trying Maybelline Color show Glitter Mania Nail Polishes (Check out my review HERE and HERE)and Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter I am already following this latest trend. Glitters not only make my nails look classy and sparkly but I do not need to put effort to do nail arts. Festive season is going on so there is no chance I can miss sparkly things.

Red Lips
Lotus Herbals Purestay Lip Gloss in Rose Bud
I had never been fond of reds until I used red lipstick. It does make a difference to the overall look. It instantly brightens up my face and makes me look glamorous and classic effortlessly. I love my Faces Go Chic Lipstick in Poppy Red and Lotus Herbals Purestay Lip Gloss in Rose Bud.

Skinny Jeans

I love skinny jeans to the core. It not only makes me look slim but tall too. All kinds of tops and tees look fabulous on skinny jeans. It feels comfortable too. Dark navy blue is my favorite color all time!

Floral Embellished Dresses

Floral Embellished dresses look wonderful on all body types and skin tones. I literally feel it is a must have in every girl’s wardrobe. It looks so fresh and would look perfect on all body types. I loved how Amal sported floral dress in her wedding function.

Crystal Jewellery

Crystal Jewellery has been my favorite since long. I love the way it sparkles and it comes in variety of colors. I was known for my pendants and earrings when I was in college. The first thing my friends look for were my jewelleries. Small pendants and earrings look fabulous with casual outfits and long danglers look elegant with traditional dresses. I can never get enough of crystal jewelleries.

Do you have friends or fiancé or family members who at the last moment ask you to get ready in 15 minutes? My fiancé has this habit of informing me just 15 minutes before taking me for a ride to another city. I hate carrying loads of makeup products in my bag. They just tend to hit each other and cause big scratches and mention not occupying lots of space. Sherri Jessee Magnetic Compact was like a God sent to me. Today I am going to review Sherri Jessee Green Queen Printed Magnetic Makeup Compact.

Sherri says, “I created these magnetic compacts for every woman to be able to carry the maximum amount of color cosmetics in the smallest amount of space.” 
Elegant Organized Beauty Printed Magnetic Makeup Compact with original artwork allows you to fashionably consolidate your makeup into one easy to carry, elegant compact. A full mirror is featured in the lid for easy on-the-go makeup application. The compact comes filled with 3 of Sherri Jessee’s expertly chosen neutral colors to get you started!
Reduce the products you carry around; less mess, less weight, less time to get gorgeous.
Full mirror, makes touch ups easy.
Super strong magnet holds makeup pots in place securely.

Size: 6.25″x4″x1/2″
Makeup ingredients available upon request.

MBT says-
Sherri Jessee Green Queen Printed Magnetic Makeup Compact is a beauty in itself. It is made of cardboard and is extremely light yet sturdy. The front cover of the magnetic compact is a beautiful artwork made by Sherri’s cousin. She has three more different designs but I loved this design the most. It looks so elegant and pretty in my makeup bag. At the base of the compact, you can see the brand name Sherri Jessee. It is a beautiful rectangular plastic magnetic empty palette that snaps close securely like a magazine and is really safe for traveling. It is quite light and can be easily carried around in a makeup bag. It does not occupy much space as well which I really adore. 

As soon as you open the lid, you will see a huge mirror that is convenient to do your makeup while traveling. It is large enough to see your whole face. The empty palette is deep enough to hold a variety of items of any size. I love keeping eye shadows, blushes, cream foundations, pressed powders, brow powders, concealer and lipstick refill pans in it. This way I have all my makeup kit in a single comapct. I only need to carry my brushes in my makeup bag. The magnetic palette sticks all pans that are made of metal or aluminium easily and you don’t need to stick a magnet to your pan base. The magnetic is powerful enough to stick the pans. The pans do not tend to slide or fall off even when you keep the palette upside down.   

The magnetic compact is great for touch ups and I do not to carry lots of products in my bag. I feel so organized after using this cute compact. As it is dark in color, I find the cleaning part very easy and simple. All in all I have all my face makeup in a compact. Sherri Jessee magnetic compact makes me feel special and unique each time I carry it with me.

Patanjali Protein Hair Conditioner Review

Hair conditioner is a must have for me as I have dry ends that tends to get knotty and tangled. I was using Tresemme Climate Control Conditioner (Read review HERE) for the last 3-4 months. It suited my hair really well and now I feel it had stopped working on my hair. I got really happy when I saw hair conditioner in Patanjali store as I am fond of natural and herbal products. Today I am going to review Patanjali Protein Hair Conditioner.

MBT says-
Patanjali Protein Hair Conditioner comes in a sturdy, squeezable plastic tube with the same colored flip top lid. The packaging is quite light and can be easily carried in a bag while traveling. The lid is also quite tight so there is no fear of the conditioner being leaked or spilled. The conditioner is white in color with a mild and pleasant scent.
The texture of the conditioner is soft and smooth with slightly thick consistency. I take a coin sized amount of conditioner and apply it to the length of my hair. I prevent myself from applying conditioner to the roots of hair to avoid any greasiness (I don’t have frizzy hair but if you do, then you can apply it on the roots!). It gets spread easily and coats all my hair well. The smell is mild and pleasant and won’t bother sensitive noses. I leave the conditioner for about 2-3 minutes to get the most benefit out of it before rinsing. It is easily rinsed away without leaving any residue feeling behind. My hair feels soft, smooth and manageable. It does soften my hair but not much so if you have dry hair then it might not work on you. My dry ends feel soft but not what I get from other conditioners like Dove and Tresemme. It does not impart a healthy shine to my hair which is really disappointing. I feel it works great on normal to oily hair well.

Overall Thoughts:
Overall I find Patanjali Protein Hair Conditioner quite an average conditioner. It does not give any fabulous results. My hair feels soft, smooth and manageable but it does not impart any shine to my hair. My dry ends sometimes get tangled as it does not soften the hair much. I would recommend it to people with normal hair.

I confess I am a huge fan of Zenziva. I have been using Zenziva Sandalwood Cleanser for a long time and whoa it cleanses the skin removing all dirt and makeup without drying out skin. It also helped me in clearing my acne by mixing it with aspirin. Today I am going to review Zenziva Moisturizing Serum which is 100% natural and organic.

Zenziva Moisturizing Serum Review

MBT says-
Zenziva Moisturizing Serum comes in a small dark cobalt blue glass bottle with a golden and white dropper lid. The dropper allows you to measure drops accurately and avoids any wastage of the product. The dark glass bottles preserve the aromatic and therapeutic properties of essential oil in the serum. The packaging is very light and the bottle can be easily carried around in a bag without any fear of leakage or spillage. The serum is clear with a lovely mild fragrance that is really soothing to the senses. It makes me feel good when I feel tensed.

The serum has oil like consistency. I was really skeptical to try it out but boy I was amazed by its results. I simply take 2-3 drops of serum for my face and neck and apply it on my skin in circular motions. It spreads easily over my skin and gets absorbed almost instantly. It sinks into the skin fully and does not just sit on the surface thus doing an awesome job of serum. It feels extremely light on my oily skin without giving me greasy or heavy feeling. It does not clog my pores and does not cause any breakouts. My skin feels super soft to the touch, smooth and moisturized. I use this serum at night as a bedtime treatment and I wake up with a soft and radiant skin. The visual effects are seen after few weeks of regular usage. I do not feel the need to follow it up with a moisturizer as it is quite moisturizing and nourishing to my skin. My skin looks more healthy and clearer since the time I am using this serum along with Zenziva Cleanser. I am 26 now and I do not have any fine lines or wrinkles but I love using it to prevent them from occurring. It contains Helichrysum essential oil that has anti inflammatory properties and is full of antioxidants that keeps skin soft, supple and radiant. My skin feels balanced after using this serum and it has helped to stop any excess oils from being produced (though my T zone always get oily in the morning!). 

I have been suffering from mild acne and this serum lightens the redness and does not aggravate or irritate them. I love using natural and organic skincare products and Zenziva Moisturizing Serum is one such natural and luxurious product that keeps my skin in great condition without adding any chemicals in my body. It can be used on hands and body as well.

I am totally in love with natural skincare and this is THE AWESOME addition in my skincare routine. I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone!

Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation Review & Swatches

I have a huge crush on foundations not only because I have blemishes and acne scars but it makes me feel and look good. I really wanted to try Revlon Photoready range and was impressed by Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer and Revlon Photoready BB Cream. Today I am going to review Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation. I got the shade Medium Beige for myself.

Revlon says-
PhotoReady Airbrush™ Mousse Makeup provides a flawless finish. The formula’s photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to minimize flaws for a perfectly airbrushed looking skin in any light – indoors, outdoors, or under the flash of a camera.

MBT says-
Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation comes in a rather impractical packaging. It comes in sturdy aerosol can with a see through black plastic cap. The pump itself is too irritating. You cannot control the amount of foundation and it pumps shoots out hell lot of product. It will continue to dribble for a while after pressing the foundation. I need to wipe it clean to avoid accumulation of the foundation at the nozzle and cap. The nozzle does lead to wastage of product. The lid is quite tight and the bottle can be easily carried around in a makeup bag. The shade name and number are written at the front of the can.

The texture of the mousse foundation is quite unique. It comes out as a thin mousse with lots of bubbles or foam. The bubbles settle down to a light, soft and powder-y liquid. Before applying foundation, always make sure to apply moisturizer on your skin to create a perfect base. I love applying it with my Real Techniques Stippling brush as with a paddle brush I feel it gives streaky application. It blends into the skin quickly and feel extremely light. If you apply it with your fingers then it might require lots of buffing and blending and you need to be quick too. It offers sheer to medium pigmentation so if you have major acne or blemishes then you might need to use a concealer. It settles into a soft, smooth airbrushed finish. After using it for more than two months I feel it looks smooth, natural and airbrushed with a primer underneath. It hides minor flaws and redness. The foundation gives a lovely glowy finish to my skin due to the presence of very fine shimmers in it. Not that it looked bad or OTT but the shimmers do tend to shine when you are out in the sun. It does photograph well and does not look shiny or glittery. Anyways the shimmers are hardly noticeable and are visible when I closely look in the mirror. 

The mousse foundation stays put on my oily skin for a good 8-9 hours with just setting up once or twice with a matte powder. It does not oxidize and feels light on the skin. It does not melt or transfer easily. Medium Beige is perfect match to my skin tone and makes me look natural and flawless. I have not faced any adverse effects whilst using it.

CONS:
Impractical packaging. It dispenses lot of product.
Contains shimmers though they are noticeable only when you are out in the sun.
If you have dry skin then using primer is a must.
A bit pricey!

Overall Thoughts:
Overall I am not very happy with Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup Foundation for the price. It makes skin smooth, soft and gives an airbrushed look to it but it needs a lot of blending so I make sure to use stippling brush. It provides sheer to medium pigmentation and gives a natural look to my skin. It stays for the longest time on my oily which I really liked. I wish there were no shimmers in it though they are very fine and are visible when you look closely. Personally I don’t like shimmers on my entire face. The packaging is annoying too! I would recommend it to you if you like natural yet dewy or luminous finish!

Though I love using gadgets (laptops, tablets and smart phones!) but I never forget to keep a diary or notebook with me. Not that I scribble the moments of my life but my shopping list and the tasks to be done. Being a beauty blogger, I need to plan so many things in advance and nothing can be better than a pretty notebook. Today I am going to review Matrikas notebooks that not only look good but are of high quality.

It is also available in many other personalities like Mother Teresa, Chanakya, Mahatama Gandhi, Sai Baba and Dr Ambedkar. I am totally in love with this journal.

I wish this kind of high quality notebook was available when I was in my college. I loved how well partitioned it is with different colored dividers. It is A5 sized notebook that is ruled and has metallic cover or design that makes it quite elegant and UNIQUE. It comes in both ruled and unruled pages but I got ruled as I find it convenient to write in a straight line. The pages are smooth and of superb quality. I love carrying it with me to plan for my blog posts. I have divided all sections according to makeup, skincare, nail arts, jewellery and DIY. This notebook can be easily carried in a bag. It also comes in various other beautiful designs.

Infinity Vintage Bloom Crystal Stud Earrings Review

I have a huge liking for crystals or say everything that sparkles brightly. My grandmother has a beautiful pair of floral real diamond earrings and wow I cannot just take my eyes off it. Recently while browsing on Snapdeal I came across these gorgeous floral crystal earrings that not only look vintage but classy too. Today I am going to review Infinity Vintage Bloom Crystal Stud Earrings.

Infinity says-
Add some bling for that extra zing. 
These pretty earrings embellished in crystals are designed in a floral shape. 
They are extremely gorgeous. 
Adds on charm as you wear it with any of your outfits.

MBT says-
Infinity Vintage Bloom Crystal Stud Earrings consists of 7 sparkly clear crystals with various golden clasps to hold them in place. I also have the same earrings but with silver base. They are about 2 cms across and look quite classy and elegant. They are floral in shape and look extremely gorgeous when paired with traditional dresses or skirts. They look very sparkly when they catch the light. The crystals are Austrian crystal and last really long. I have tonnes of Infinity jewellery with me since 5-6 years and all are in perfect and new condition.

The back of the earrings are gold plated that make them look classy. They are quite lightweight and are comfortable to wear. The locks of the earrings are perfect and do not tend to get loose. They are easy to put and take out. The earrings are neither too big nor too small and cover my earlobes nicely. They are truly vintage and feminine. They really help in dressing up an outfit whether you are dressing up or being casual. They look pretty on all ages without being OTT or boring. I have been using them a lot but they are still in good condition and I have not seen any signs of wear and tear.

Wildrose Magnolia Lip Gloss Review & Swatches

I feel so happy when brands come up with natural products. Though I have come across many natural skincare brands but there are still few who create natural makeup. Wildrose Magnolia is one such amazing brand that provides natural skincare and makeup products to its consumers. It is founded by Susannah who is not only gorgeous and talented but an amazing person too. Today I am going to review Wildrose Magnolia Lip Gloss in Beach which is all natural lip gloss.

Wildrose Magnolia says-
Lip Gloss An all natural, non-toxic gloss that‘s chock full of organic lip-loving ingredients like coconut oil and cocoa butter. All colours are naturally derived.

MBT says-
Wildrose Magnolia Lip Gloss comes in a sturdy, clear plastic tube with a black screw top lid. There is a sticker stuck on the tube that contains all the information about the lip gloss. As soon as the lid is opened, you will see a soft doe foot applicator wand that picks the right amount of gloss. The packaging is quite light and can be easily carried around in a makeup bag. The scent of the lip gloss is hardly noticeable which I liked as I am not fond of fragranced products. It has no taste.

The formula of the lip gloss is perfect. It has gel like consistency and is not very gloopy. The applicator wand picks the right amount of product but I usually go for a bit sheer application so I wipe it once onto the mouth of the tube. The lip gloss glides smoothly onto my lips without smudging or bleeding. It applies easily around the edges of the lips too. It has sheer to medium pigmentation and can be layered as desired. If you have pigmented lips you might need layers to get a good coverage. I love using it as a sheer lip gloss with my casual outfits at daytime. The lip gloss gives a nice glossy finish to my lips.
I often apply lip gloss on its own and it stays for a good 3-4 hours. It survives with few drinks and light meals but fades away with heavy meals. It gets vanished completely with no tint behind. It feels a bit sticky after it starts wearing off but does not feel oh so uncomfortable. If I apply it over lipstick it stays for more than 5-6 hours without reapplication and makes my lipstick stand out more and shinier. 

The lip gloss feels comfortable on my lips and is not heavy or sticky. My hair does get stuck on the lips when the breeze blows but not in a horrible way as it is not sticky. My lips do not feel dry when I remove lip gloss at the end of the day due to presence of natural ingredients like coconut oil, castor oil, Vitamin E etc. 

Beach is a gorgeous neutral brown shade with a glossy finish. It contains very fine golden shimmers and do not look over the top. I love using this shade on its own during day time and over the lipstick at night time. It makes my lips look pretty and instantly brightens up my face. It is all natural and non toxic lip gloss that contains organic ingredients.

The shimmers are very fine and do not look OTT. The lip gloss is easy to apply and feels light on lips. It has sheer to medium pigmentation and provides glossy finish. Beach is a beautiful neutral brown color that would look lovely on all skin tones. I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone!

Pink Champagne is a soft pink champagne color with lots of silver glitters. It looks simple yet elegant on my nails. If you are fond of soft shades then this shade is for you. The nail polish looks beautiful on my nails and in the bottle. The shimmers make the color all the more pretty and create a beautiful textured effect. It looks beautiful on nails and in the bottle. It provides a lovely textured finish and is a true girlie color. It is a perfect shade for day time and would look flattering on all skin tones. It definitely makes my hands look bright, classy and noticeable. I really got so many compliments when I wore this shade. It is quite pigmented and gives true color in two coats. It lasts on my nails for more than a week without chipping (I do not do household chores!). I absolutely love its textured finish that is the USP of this nail polish!
