lipstick : Lotus herbal pure colors

Product: Lotus herbals pure color lipstick

Shade: tangerine 694

I got this shade a month back I guess and I totally love it. This is the first time I bought any cosmetic from lotus herbals and I am quite impressed.

Firstly I liked the packaging, as in the gold cover which is inside compliments with this particular shade. This lipstick is not matte one. It is bit glossy. It also contains bit of moisturizer, and that’s why it glides easily. But make sure you don’t have chapped lips or else you’ll not get even shade lips. I also like the smell of this lipstick :D 

This shade is perfect for summer and will look good with bit of dramatic eyes, but don't go too overboard. Keep your eye make up minimal for the day look. For a night look you could go for bold eyes with this shade. If you want it to be luscious or if you want to add shine to it apply a clear or shimmery lip gloss. I usually apply Lakme absolute plump and shine gloss. I have the coral one which goes which this lipstick.

Price: Rs.245 (i got it for discount :D at Rs.205 something. I love discounts XD ) 

If you like to wear bright colors then go for it :) 

Happy summers!

If you still think its OK to step out of your house without sunscreen then you might have to think twice.

We all know sunscreen protect us from UVA and UVB rays. 

What are UVA and UVB rays? Anyways who cares :p But you need to know they cause early skin aging and contribute towards skin wrinkling. If you don’t want to get wrinkles in your late 20’s itself then start applying sunscreens (sun block, sun tan lotion, sun cream etc whatever you call it, it’s one and the same)

Don’t select sunscreen just because it suits someone else. We all have different skin and their needs. Before buying sunscreen do a research and make sure you know your skin well. Unfortunately, I had many skin issues in my life. :(  I had visited number of skin specialist and dermatologists in past several years. That’s when I became conscious about my skin and very particular about sunscreens. I have researched a lot about sunscreens. I have also tried many of them. There are a lot of options available in the market.  Current one which I am using is thick, bit oily and lasts long for good 6-7hours and that’s more than enough for me, but I won’t recommend that because it’s given on prescription. But before that I have used a couple of them and they are good enough.

Sunscreens by lotus herbal are good. They have a lot of variety so that you could choose according to your requirement. I like 3 in 1 matte lock daily sun block by lotus herbal. I have also tried Garnier and honestly I dint like it. It’s patchy and makes your skin look white, literally white. VLCC has a good sunscreen. You can try that. I have tried lacto calamine; it was too dry for my skin. So I don’t recommend if you have dry skin like mine. If you depend on BB cream or your foundation for spf then it’s not enough. They barely have spf15. At least go for sunscreens which have 25-40spf. Too much of spf is not going to help. Instead buy a sunscreen with 30spf and make sure you apply sufficient amount.

I apply sunscreen before my foundation and let it settle for 5 mins. And remember sunscreen takes 15 to 20 mins to turn on into protection mode so make sure you apply half an hour ago before leaving your house.

Let me know which one you bought ;)

Happy summers! 

Lipstick : Lakme satins enrich range (566)

Here’s my first review :D

Product: Lakmé satins enrich range lipstick

Shade: 566

I'v selected this lipstick because it’s one of my favorite. Ok, all shades are my favorite, that’s why I have them all :p but this shade is much more of a favorite.

This range by Lakmé is really nice for daily use. It lasts for good 4-5hrs and if you go for darker shades it will last longer. It’s very creamy so you don’t need to apply lip balm before the lipstick. They have a wide range of shades, around 100 i guess. You could check it out at Lakmé studio or any retail store like beauty shop. I love beauty shop because you get everything under one roof.

This shade is very natural. You could wear it for day as well as night look. It will go well with dramatic eyes like Smokey eyes or if you want to go for a bright eye makeup this shade will balance it out. Even if you are planning on wearing colorful attire, this nude shade will balance it. You can go for any blush shade if you are going for this lip shade. This shade will suit anyone, trust me on this. It just depends on how well you carry it. Sometimes the same shade of lipstick looks different on same skin toned/colored person; this is because of the lip color. Everyone has a different natural lip color. If you want the same exact shade of lipstick on your lips too then go for lip primers. They are available. I will write about it as soon as I get it ;)

If you are a beginner when it comes to lipstick or if you are not too comfortable carrying loud lips then go for this shade because it’s very natural and will give you a minimalist look.

Cost of this lipstick: Rs.225 (you could get a discount in beauty shops)

It’s not expensive compared to the other ranges. It’s worth the investment if you want quality.

I recommend this shade, its simply amazing! <3
