Review for Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation

PROS

Blends easily

My skin tone is dusky, so I tried the Coral shade. It did blend with my skin well and covered my dark circles and dark spots. The final results were quite satisfying. My skin is oily, so it is a perfect match. The foundation gives me a matte look without making my skin look dry and flaky. I had to use compact after around 3 hours because my skin started becoming oily. That’s why I will not suggest using this foundation for any big events. But for its price and the results it gives for the first few hours, it is justifiable. When I came across Lakme perfecting liquid foundation, I thought its price is very reasonable. So, I went for it and purchased it. When I first applied the foundation, I thought I picked up the wrong shade because it looked two shades lighter than my skin tone. But then, as I kept blending it, the texture started smoothening and suited my skin perfectly.this is best product for all

Disappointing results

1/5

Review for Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel

Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel is one of the most hyped products in the recent times. So, I wanted to give it a try as I have dry skin. I have been using other moisturizers but nothing was long lasting. After through research I purchased the gel and to my experience the gel was disappointing. The dryness has increased every day I applied the gel.

Not for oily skin

1.6/5

Review for Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation + Concealer

PROS

Affordable

Provides great coverage

CONS

Makes the skin greasy

Gets cakey

Transferable

Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation + Concealer is great for coverage but not for my oily skin. For the first two hours, my skin looked flawless, but after a while, it started getting greasy and heavy. I tried brushing it with loose powder, but that made it worse! My face ended up looking cakey and very heavy. Also, this formula transfers easily and comes off when I try to blot. I won’t be recommending it to oily skin types.

It can be drying.

3.5/5

Review for Faces Ultime Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick

PROS

Affordable

Not transferable

High coverage

Wide range of colors to choose from

CONS

Dries out lips

Only lasts for 4 hours

I’m currently using Lust shade from Faces Ultime Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick. I don’t have so many qualms with this particular lipstick shade, although I don’t know about the rest of the shades. It has a smooth, velvety finish which I absolutely love! It isn’t transferable, is easy to apply, and has pretty good coverage. However, I have to use a hydrating lip balm or lip primer before applying it because my lips can feel dried out otherwise. But for its price, I would not expect anything better than this. I will definitely repurchase a new tube.

Don’t like how it smells on me

2/5

Review for COACH Eau De Parfum

PROS

Travel-friendly packaging

Fruity fragrance

Does not stain clothes

CONS

Expensive

May not blend well with natural body scent

Perfumes have been an essential part of my life ever since forever. I am a huge fragrance-holic! I jump from perfume one to another. So recently Coach Eau De Parfum landed in my vanity.

I was looking for something girly but not childish. So while trying out different samples, this was what I chose. Do I regret it? Partially.

I say this because Coach Eau De Parfum isn’t blending well with my natural body scent. I like the smell when I sniff it from the bottle, but on my skin, it smells different. I should have known better, but alas! What’s done is done, I can’t take it back.

When I sniff it from the bottle, I get strong hints of raspberries and apples. It really is very appealing.

I don’t want it to go entirely to waste, so I still use it once in a while on my clothes. It is decent enough. My advice will be, don’t be stupid and in a rush like me while buying perfumes. Try it on your skin and let it mellow down. See if it works with your natural scent.

My smile and worry lines have become less visible.

4.3/5

Review for L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Night Cream

PROS

Gets absorbed quickly

Delivers on its claims

Revives skin overnight

Glides onto your skin easily

Light and smooth texture

CONS

Strong fragrance

I have nothing bad to say about L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Night Cream. I got this on a friend’s recommendation, and I have no regrets. I’ve noticed how plump my skin looks and how soft it feels. I love the fact that it is so affordable as compared to other trusted brands, and also very effective. Coming across a catch like this is rare. My smile and worry lines have definitely become less visible, and I feel so confident with the results. This one is a keeper for sure.

Does not cover blemishes

3/5

Review for Colorbar Full Cover Makeup Stick

PROS

Convenient packaging

Easily available

No parabens

SPF

CONS

Available in only three shades

Unnatural finish

Does not cover blemishes

After a very high recommendation, I bought Colorbar Full Cover Makeup Stick SPF 30. But after using it for a month, I will say that it’s not very impressive. I will give it a thumbs up for the packaging and the way it looks, but that's about it.

Firstly, the application is very inconvenient. I don’t like using my fingers to blend my foundation. But without fingers, it does not blend well.

It also does not cover my blemishes. I also feel the shade is not well-suited. My skin is dusky, so I chose Warm Beige. I usually go for a darker color for my skin tone, but there wasn’t any darker shade available. So, I kind of look fake. Over a month, I’ve barely used it.
