Hey Everyone,
I'm so excited to share with you all my views about a miracle product I bought yesterday. It's the Clarins Hydra-Quench Cream Mask.

It's a fragrant creamy face masque which literally transforms your skin to butter.
I was having several rough patches and dry bumps on my face which inspite of scrubbing away, my skin remained rough and dry. Not to mention the parching heat these days in India ready to wreak havoc on your skin. Desperate for a resolution I headed straight to the counters in search of a rescue product and Wallah ! I found the Clarins Hydra-Quench Masque.

I used it by first cleansing my face and neck with a facewash, patted dry and then liberally applied the masque with my fingertips...





 As per the instructions at the back of the tube, I left it on for around 15 min (5 min extra). I could see the mask disappearing into my skin :)










After 15 min, I wiped it off with a cottonpad soaked it facial toner and patted dry once again.
I touched my face and felt I had had a skin transplant. It was the smoothest, velvetty soft sensation with no bumps or flakes whatsoever. See the results here...




So thats why I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have buttery soft, awakened and enlightened skin !

Hi Everyone :)
Revlon Colorburst has recently come out with killer Lip Color Pens....Some are Balms and some are Stains. There is a huge selection of shades to choose from.
I bought two of them ...
A matte balm in the shade AUDACIOUS and a balm stain in the shade SMITTEN.





Audacious is a medium orange shade. It feels super smooth on application and comes out totally matte on the lips. Staying power is pretty good, I'd say about 4 to 5 hours if not disturbed too much by rigorous munching. 

MATTE BALM : AUDACIOUS




Smitten is superbright purply plum shade. The first coat is very sheer and looks like a sheer plum velvette finish lipstick. But once you start building it up, its turns into such a bright and gorgeous plum shade and almost appears like a shiny lip gloss. The staying power of this one is pretty awesome say 8 to 9 hrs and it even stands the test of eating n sipping drinks a couple of times. 

BALM STAIN : SMITTEN




Another good thing about these lip colors is the minty flavor and slight cooling feeling on the lips on application of these balms. That's a major plus point. Both are priced at Rs 750/- and there is 2.7 g of product in the twistable pen.
I highly recommend these Revlon Lip Color Pens.
A must buy in your choice of color !

Maybelline New York “the Colossal Kajal”
Vs
Loreal Paris “Kajal Magique”




The battle is Ooonnnn! Two of the most lethal weapons are out for the kill in the market!
And the best part is we have a clear winner.
It is Loreal Paris’ Kajal Magique !
ASK ME WHY? 
Because in the Beauty world  Paris can beat New York anytime ......Juuust kidding!!!

I have more logical reasons to proclaim Kajal Magique as the winner. 
Here are a few points which are good and not so good about the two…..
