I was super excited to review this product because I have just received it from stylecraze itself (which is pretty amazing). I'm super glad to have received it and so I'd like to share why for anyone whos looking to buy this. So my experience with this kit has been brief but pretty great. It's worth INA 900 but you could get it for INA 700 or something (not the most affordable thing if you look at the quantity). It's extremely tiny which for me is super cute and makes it very portable / travel- friendly. The packaging is also very good and air tight so if you keep it in your purse, you should not need to worry about spillage. I got it in the medium shade, it contains two shades of correctors, two shades of contours and two shades of highlighters. So basically you have most of the products you need for a full face makeup in it. The quality is great and pink shade highlighter is just sooo beautiful. This is definitely a must have.

The quantity of natural items is lower
So Garnier is a pretty widely known brand and houses generally extremely affordable and good quality products. Haven't tried all of their products but the very few that I have haven't been so disappointing as of yet. The Garnier fructis triple nutrition conditioner claims to have almond, olive and coconut oil which are all extremely great ingredients for your hair, but on a closer look you'll notice that the quantity of these items in the overall product is quite low. Although it is a nice conditioner, it smells amazing , has a light and non- greasy texture and doesn't feel heavy when applied on hair and even after washing it off. It's also pretty eaisly washed off so no complaints there. Additionally, right after you'll notice a long lasting fragnance in your hair, soft silky texture, no fizz and that your hair are super manageable. Honestly, what more could you ask for!? So what I would say is that while this is a great conditioner, it is basically chemicals like all others in the market.
Reasonably priced
No alcohol
Does not dry out your skin
Removes makeup and impurities
Light formula
Hard to remove makeup
Funny enough, I actually just won this in one of the previous stylecraze contest and thought that I should share how great it is and how glad I am to get it. Also super grateful for stylecraze. So the Garnier micellar cleansing water is a muti-purpose product that claims to remove make-up, clean the face and soothe your skin while at it which honestly sounds perfect. It also claims to have been dermatologically tested which is essential for skin care products, especially so if your product is being marketed for sensitive skin. If you've seen any of my previous reviews then youll know that I'm sorta a fan of the brand for being both extremely affordable and good quality. This product is pretty amazing and when I tried it, it did clean my face and felt soothing since there is no alcohol in it to strip my skin of naturals oils. It also smells very light and floral. The only thing I could point out is that it is a little hard to remove make-up while using it (takes a bit of time and patience).

Prevents drying of hair

Not effective on severe dandruff
Dove is and has always been a classic hair and skin care brand with products that are very gentle and not chemical loaded and creamy in texture. This shampoo is no exception, it is incredibly creamy and lightweight in texture. It lathers well and has an amazing fragrance. If you have a sensitive scalp , this is the best for you but as far as it comes to taking care of removing dandruff, this shampoo has unfortunately not done any such thing for me. It does clear away the white flaky skin but that could be done by a weter rinse too and they do come back. Another thing that may be taken as a set back is that the brand still hasn't launched any products that are paraben or silicon free. This means they're bad for your skin and the environment. (A big led down if you care). Other than this , it's pretty perfect for everyday use.

Who doesn't love a classic dove shampoo!? It's gentle, lathers well, smells great, makes your hair super soft and smooth and is the most affordable. It's great that their shampoos are great for daily use, if you need to and are suitable for both men and women.
Makes hair clean
Affordable
Not effective on dry hair
Thick consistency
Contains menthol
Horrible for the hair
This is by far the worst conditioner I have ever used in my whole life. First off the shampoo makes your hair super dry and leaves you with a cool minty feeling in your scalp which may feel good but is because of menthol which is horrible for your hair health. Then, the conditioner too contains the same menthol (as if applying it once wasn't enough) and barely condition the hair .
Affordable
Makes face soft and radiant

A good makeup remover
Can cause irritation in eyes
This is a pretty good products, as far as cleaning milk goes, it's one of the best ones I've ever owned. It has a super light texture, it's extremely moisturizing and it's great for everyday use. It cleans the face well and can be used to remove make-up.

Smudges and spreads
Hard to remove
Thick texture
So I tried this kajal when I had just started to experiment with make-up. It's a pretty good product, in terms of being affordable, all natural, good quality , pretty pigmented and easy to apply. My only issue was that it was extremely thick when applied and quite difficult to remove, it also smugged easily.
Enriched with almond oil
Intense black color
Inexpensive
Convenient packaging
Smudges and spreads
This is not one of the worst kajals that I've used but it's also not one of the best. It is all natural, highly pigmented, affordable and easy to apply. The problem lies in the actual filling of the product which is too thick and greesy and if it gets in your eye , it's hurt like anything.
Affordable
Moisturizing
Sheer pigmentation
Not long-lasting
Maybelline New York is a great brand, it's got great products at a great price. I absolutely adore everything that I've ever purchased from their range. This is a pretty great combo of a lipstick-cum- lip balm, so you get the best of both worlds. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Faces is a really nice brand and I've tried a lot of their products. This lip crayon is pretty great, affordable price, highly pigmented, smooth texture and moisturizing. Also the product package makes it super easy to apply , especially if you're a newbie like me. You can look at the image to see the quantity provided.

Tube package is inconvenient
This lip balm is pretty great in terms of being, super affordable, all natural, lightly pink tint, extremely nourishing and glossy. It's perfect if you have dry lips. Pro- tip: Use it as a substitute transparent gloss. The only thing is that it's sticky if applied on the bare lips and I'm personally not a fan of the tube packaging.
Multipurpose
Convenient packaging
Buildable color
Natural finish
Sheet coverage

Hard to apply
So if you've seen my other reviews, I'm a huge The Body Shop buff. I simply adore all the products that I've owned from this brand. It's pretty hard to not love their products but this one is kind of a downer if like me you're a newbie and haven't use tints before. It's super concentrated and a lil difficult to figure out when blending.
Gentle on skin
Makes skin soft
Fruity aroma
No irritation
Gel-like consistency
Does not remove skin tan
Doesn't result in a "glow"
Lakme is a pretty good brand in terms of both cosmetic products and skincare ones. It does have mostly good quality products with a reasonable price point. This is a pleasant smelling , fruity face wash that leaves you with a nice clean feeling. It's very light textured and great for all skin types.
Imparts a cooling sensation while shampooing
May not be suitable for dry scalp
I tried this shampoo when I started getting extremely oily and dirty hair. This is the worst shampoo I have ever tried, it's got the most thick consistency and gives off a cooling sensation on your scalp which might "feel good" but it's due to the presence of menthol which is horrible for your hair health.
Cleanses the scalp effectively
Sturdy packaging
Does not dry the scalp
Contains SLS
Contains parabens
L'Oréal is not the best haircare and skincare brand since they're products are not good in quality. This shampoo is the same, it's ok but not the best you would find in the same price range. The texture of this shampoo feels kinda synthetic or heavily chemical based. Still if you wanna try it, I would recommend that you do so with the conditioner.
Affordable
Wide range of shades
Dry quickly
Storage time period is less
Elle 18 is not the most well known brand but it's nail paints are still pretty easily and widely available. These nail paints come in a cute girly petit package which makes it super convenient to carry a bunch of them in your purse. Plus they have a huge shade range. Love them!!!

Revlon is known to be a pocket-friendly cosmetic brand which has quality products. This colorstay creme eyeshadow is no different, it's got a nice creme texture so it's super easy to apply. It's nicely pigmented so a little quantity goes a long way and it's super travel friendly.

The Lotus Herbals Sun Safe Whitening + Sun Screen is one of the most reasonable priced and best sunscreens on the market. It's quick to absorb and provides a non- oily glow which makes it perfect for your face. Would recommend it to everyone.
Detangles hair
Reduces frizz
Not a long-term solution
Gives a greesy finish
Heavy
From my experience, no L'oreal haircare or skincare product have ever suited me. They're products are somewhat reasonably priced but aren't good in quality at all. While this serum has pretty much the same analogy for me , I would still say that its not too bad and totally worth a try.
Lightweight

Doesn’t irritate the skin
Cleanses well

Drying
I love almost all the products I've tried from The Face Shop. This Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam face wash is no exception. It is super lightweight, incredibly foamy and a little quantity goes a long way. The only problem for me is that is makes a skin pretty dry right after use. Best way to avoid it is to use their brilliant sheet masks for that nourishing glow. Picture below for more information.

Extremely thin applicator
So I'm fairly new to make-up and this was the first eyeliner I ever used. It is extremely affordable compared to all the other cosmetics on the market and has an extremely unique and eccentric glittery blue colour that I absolutely adore. My only problem with this is that the applicator is pretty hard to use.
Slim-tip applicator
Intense black color
Easy to use
Precise application
Affordable
Difficult to remove
Dries up
Since I'm new to the use of make-up applying eyeliner correctly is proving to be extremely difficult for me and this product has been a great help. It's just like using a felt-tip pen or sketch pen on your eyelids which is extremely convenient. The applicator is a little too thin though.
Good packaging
Easily available
Ultra-fine tip
Takes time to adjust to it
Overpriced
I've tried a few different styles and brands of eyeliners and so far I like this one the best. It is extremely overpriced compared to all the others I've had but the applicator is by far the best one. It's extremely easy to use. Would suggest this is everyone. #Musthave

I tried the Biotique - Bio Coconut Whitening and Brightening cream when I had particularly dry and dull skin. While this product did help with the dryness, it didn't whiten or brighten my skin. It also leaves a greasy look on your face since it's not quick absorbing.

Coloressence is a brand that I personally find to be quite understated but actually has pretty good quality products at an affordable price range. This lipstick was no different, it's got beautiful colours. The only complaint I have that it gives a dry look to your lips. I ,personally, like to pair it with their gloss to finish the look. Picture below.

BIOTIQUE is one of my favorite skincare and cosmetic brands since I've got an extremely sensitive skin and they use all natural ingredients. This night cream works extremely well for hydrating dry skin and making it soft and smooth. The only downside is if you have oily skin you can't use it.
Relieves tired, dull skin
Tightens pores
Potent natural ingredients

Isn't hydrating
Needs to be accompanied by a moisturizer
BIOTIQUE is known to be an extremely pocket- friendly as well as all natural brand. I love almost all of their products and this toner is no exception. It is extremely refreshing and works well on open pores and oily skin. Only complaint would be that it dries the skin out a bit.

Biotique always has great products that are made up of all natural ingredients. Most of the ones I've tried works great and smells even better. This product is no exception. I love the refreshing green apple smell and the shampoo itself leaves your hair and scalp feeling extremely clean.

I absolutely love OGX's hair products. I use their shampoos, conditioners and hair serums. This particular shampoo is one of my favorites, it's got argan oil which is great for your hair health. After applying this shampoo, my hair smells great, it feels soft and smooth and there is no frizz. They also have a varient which is like a treatment. Images below for more information.

Khadi has all natural and great quality products that work well on all skin types and even hair types. This shampoo is no exception, amla is known to be helpful in hair growth and while it does contain some quantity of it, it's hard to tell if it does lead to hair growth. But it's great for someone who wants a squeky clean scalp.

Doesn’t give quick results
Doesn't help with puffiness
Doesn't help with dark circles
I tried this product during my exams when I was getting almost no sleep at all. What I found was that while it doesn't really help you with any under-eye related problems, it does moisturize the skin well and give a nice cooling effect. I've also tried the Vitamin C gel which has similar effects. Image below if you're interested.
Suitable for oily skin
Gentle formula

May dry out your skin
Doesn't stop oil production
I have recently used this product since I do have an oily T-zone and acne prone skin. Lemons are well know as a remedy for that very purpose. So this particular face wash is pretty cheap and affordable. It's also very good for oily skin as it makes your skin feel fresh and clean.

May not be the best for oily skin
I tried this face was pretty recently when I started getting dry patches on my skin that would eventually lead to skin flaking or peeling. This face wash really helped with it , it's not incredibly moisturizing but it does make the skin soft and smooth.
Travel-friendly
Controls sweat
Unisex
Unsuitable for dry skin
Contains silicones and preservatives
I generally do not like O3+ products because they're extremely overpriced and contain highly concentrated chemicals. Like most of their products, this face wash too didn't do much other than clean your face. Even in that it made my skin extremely dry and took away all it's moisture.
Deep cleanses and soothes
Affordable
Doesn't help with acne
Doesn't correct spots or blemishes
This is neem and tea tree face wash advertises to fight acne and remove or lighten marks on the skin. I have a somewhat oily skin and so suffer from acne and while this face wash did keep the face clean and fresh , it didn't make any difference in my acne.
Cooling effect
Easy to use
Relaxes your eyes
Takes time to show results
Doesn't do anything for your skin
Gives a stiff feeling
So I tried the Garnier Skin Natural White Complete Eye Roll On after seeing my brother use it vigorously during his exams when he got minimal sleep. When using the product, you do feel a cool sensation which is extremely relaxing on your eyes (feels very similar to putting on cucumbers) but it doesn't really hydrate your skin or reduces dark circles or puffiness. Atleast it didn't for me. Also what I felt was that after application, once it had dried , you felt a pull like your skin was stretching because it make the area quite stiff. But it's still great for a stressed face.
Affordable
Fades dark spots and marks
Dries skin
Chemical-laden
Fair and Lovely is a brand that makes huge promises to females with dusky or dark completion that it can give you the beauty that it adherent to the current standards of the society. What they don't tell you!? Is that they're products are basically a bleaching agent on your skin. It is in no way healthy for your skin to have such chemicals. It may lead to more problems than solutions. Would not recommend it at all.
100% natural
Gel-like texture that gets easily absorbed into your skin
Affordable
Good quantity
90% aloe vera extract
Contains artficial (permitted) color and fragrance
Patanjali is a brand that's getting all the hype now because of being all natural and extremely affordable. They're aloe vera gel is pretty light, easy to absorb and hydrating. I always have it on me. One could argue that they could use the gel from a plant directly but for those who can't this is the next best thing, despite having added colours and preservatives as well as a gel base.
48-hour moisture
Nourishes skin

The Body Shop is a brand that had extremely great products, in the sense of quality and serving their purpose. I have tried a few of their body butters, namely- The Fuji Green Tea body butter, Lemon body butter, Peppermint body butter and now I'm using this one. They're the best. I have extremely dry skin and even then a little of this product goes a long way. It's still pretty quick to absorb and once I apply it , my skin is baby soft for a minimum of 3-4 days easily. Will recommend this to everyone.

If you've seen any of my previous reviews, you'll know that I only have good things to say about this brand. All their products might be a little overpriced but they're great in quality. As for this particular range, I've only sampled their products a few times but I can tell you they're extremely hydrating and as you can see in the image below, they contain Salicylic acid which may help with acne too.
Concentrated and purifying
Healing
Reduces acne and blemishes
Adequate quantity

Cannot be used directly for sensitive skin
Not for oily skin
May lead to skin irritation
The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil Range is pretty good for people having acne prone skin. I have tried multiple of products from this range since I do have an reoccurring and aggressive acne problem. While I do love the facial wet wipes from this range, I've experienced some inconvenience with the oil since I have sensitive and if not diluted, it's extremely strong. Also for people who have oily skin or an oily T-zone, it will lead to a greesy feeling. But it does work on acne so only minor complaints.

Till date I have only used two of Clean & Dry's products, that is, the normal wash and the foam wash. They are gentle on your sensitive skin, smell great and leave you with a healthy clean feeling. (One could call it minty fresh) You only require a little quantity to lather and it's extremely foamy which is great. I prefer using this product everyday. It's pretty great. A must buy for all females.

If you may have seen any of my other product reviews, you'll notice that The Body Shop products are the most revised since I buy a lot of their products and absolutely love them. Great quality. This particular product is not for people with oily skin because it leaves you with a greesy look but if you have normal- dry skin, this is a must for you.
Gives matte finish
Controls acne and pimples
Can leave a whitish cast behind
It is one of the first skincare products that I ever used growing up. It's a great cream to give you the perfect matte finish, especially if you have an oily skin. It's got a natural skin color that makes it the perfect product to hide minor blemishes and pigmentation on skin and I, personally, use it as a replacement BB cream or foundation at times when going for an all natural base.
Creamy formula
Somewhat Hydrating
The charcoal mask doesn't do anything
Overpriced
These L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Masks got a lot of hype from television ads and celebrity endorsements. I really thought that they'd live up to that brand and quality standard that L'Oréal products generally have but it was a miss. I have currently been using only the charcoal one and it doesn't do much of anything. It lightly hydrates the skin for a day or so and basically that's it. It is extremely overpriced based on it's function. Maybe the others are better but the charcoal one was pretty useless. You can definitely get better brands and quality products at the same price as this one or even lesser than it.
Absorbs oil
Makes the skin feel fresh
Not for dry skin
May not actually do anything
Temporary results, if any
So charcoal is all the hype rn with the introduction of the K-beauty products. People not only use it on their skin but also have started using it internally. Although with a little research you'll know that there is no actually data from research to show that it actually works. Still externally I have seen that it clears away impurities and absords oil temporarily. It's okay for those who wanna try new things for experimenting.
Ideal for all skin types
Ready to use
Pocket-friendly
Cleans and refreshes skin
Hurts like anything
May not actually do anything
These kinds of charcoal masks have made a name for themselves in every household, but the fact is that while they promise to get rid of blackheads, whiteheads and impurities in the skin, what they do is just stick to the skin and when you feel them off some outer layer dead skin cells stick to them. It's ok if you wanna remove dry and flaky skin but they hurt like anything and all that stretching cannot be good for the health of your skin. Maybe try a scrub instead.
Color stays intact
Does not need a UV lamp
Takes too long to dry
Hard to remove
Poor texture
Sticky when applying
I tried these because generally uv nail paints stay unchipped for minimum a month but these aren't really uv nail paints since the actual ones cannot dry unless a uv lamp is used. They're just nail paints that give a similar finish. Although they give you the perfect manicure look from the comfort of your home, they do get extremely messy and it's really hard to keep them from getting ruined since they take ages to dry and are a little sticky when you apply them. Other than that, they pretty amazing once you see the final look.
Good quality fabric
Not drying
Gives a fresh And clean feel
Easy to carry
Not moisturizing
A little overpriced
So I actually have a lot of variations of the Kara wet wipes. To list a few- 💁 Kara Refresh- Aloe Vera and Cucumber 💁 Kara Sunscreen wipes- Plum and Aloe Vera 💁Kara Moisturizing wipes- Honey and Almond Kara is a well- known brand with a huge variety of products (most of which are pretty damn good). I absolutely love these wipes out of all of them. They're extremely usefull in all conditions. I always have atleast one of these in my bag. I would suggest everyone to try buy it. One thing I would say is that if you do not store them in a dry place , they dry out even if the pack is still sealed. And although these do not strip your skin of moisture, these also do not add moisture to it. This may be my only problem with this product. I have listed the images so that you can see their contents and everything. #Happyshopping #Kara #Karawipes #Skincare #Skincareonthego
Convenient packaging
Pleasant fragrance
Gentle
Leaves skin feeling smooth and supple
Expensive
The Body Shop is overall a brand with pricey products but they're also pretty amazing to use. They generally work effectively on all skin types to solve any skin problem. I have only tried two of their products from their Vitamin E yet. That is the face wash and the lip balm. The face wash happens to be the less liked for me because it does not give your skin a clean feeling if you happen to have oily skin or in my case, an oily T- zone. If you are looking for a gentle cleanser type wash, then this product is for you. It's got a light vanilla scent that I love. On the other hand, the lip balm from the same range is amazing. It's a must buy. It has no shimmer or glossy finish , no glitter, it's completely matte with no tint and the same vanilla scent. It's vegan which is a great feature. This is a must buy suitable for both men and women.
A little goes a long way
Deeply cleanses blemished skin
Reduces oiliness and shine
Controls breakouts
Not suitable for dry skin
The Body Shop tends to have pricey products but they do work great across all skin types and are incredibly helpful in eradicating any skin problems. Their Tea Tree Range is especially centred around dealing effectively with acne problems. I, myself, have had a breakout problem since a long time and this product did help with that. The only problem with this product is that it's too drying. If you have combination skin or suffer from dry patches then you have to use it with an extra- moisturizing cream or an oil based serum, otherwise you'll end up with a dry flaky skin. Besides this issue, it does seem to tackle the acne problem well. So I've got no complaint.
