Victoria's Secret-Beauty Rush Sweet Tease Daily Moisture Body Lotion

I totally believe in moisturizing my body all the year round but with Summer already knocking our door (in Pune) i had to give up using my daily body butter. 

I love using a luxurious brand like Victoria Secrets in my shower routine which perks up my mood with amazing fragrance and make me feel special. I also find that these lotions do a better job in keeping the body moisturised than others.

So i went to buy a birthday gift for a friend, and as usual i ended up buying some thing for myself too.

First thing i was attracted to was the packaging of the lotion. It not only feels but also looks luxorious! 

 Like all other items of VS this stuff smells awesome. Just like the name suggests it is sweet and delicious! I would describe the scent as berries with a hint of vanilla in it.

 People often ask me what fragrance i am wearing when i layer this lotion under a sweet foody perfume. The fragrance of the body lotion does linger on for quite some time as well.

 The texture of the cream is not heavy. I would say it is a bit on the runny side, which is why i find it perfect for summers. 

PRICE- Rs 720 for 200 ml

pros-

• light moisturizer,good for summers
• smells delicious
• lingering fragrance
• makes a sweet perfume last longer
• cute packaging

cons-

• the biggest con is not a surprise, it is not easily available in india.
• pricey
• people who dont like sweet scents stay away

Last Words-

I absolutely love this lotion. However the smell can be over powering for some. So i would suggest you to smell it before you spend. I also believe this was a limited edition but you can chase for it easily on online shopping websites. 

Pond's Gold Radiance Boosting Cleansing Mousse- Review

Helooooo! 

To begin with i would like to explain my skin type, it gets very dry and flaky in winters and a little oily during summers..sob..sob!

This winter when my skin was acting crazy i opted for this cleanser. Also, this was my first step towards trying an anti-ageing product. 

Price- Rs 350/ for 150 ml

Packaging- Golden colored bottle with pump style diffuser. 

The face wash reminds me of Himalaya face wash foam. It is neither too creamy nor gel like. The face wash does not seem to be too soapy like many other face washes.  I would describe the texture as a lighter version of hair mousse. It is not over drying on my face and also cleaned my face well and hence i did not face any breakouts.

One more point worth noting is that this product will never finish! I swear, you just need one pump and so it goes on forever...i personally have it since 2 months now!!

Till this point i have no complains with the face wash. BUT the major set back is the 'smell'. Ive never come across a worse smelling face wash. Seriously it is so unpleasant this it makes me overlook all the favorable things about the product and just concentrate on the SMELL! My roommate too finds it gross..

I wish Pond's had not done this!

pros-

• cleanses the face well
• moisturises so good for dry skin
• no soapy feel
• attractive packaging
• will last long

cons-

• smell might be unpleasant to many

Last Words-

If you have dry skin and if the smell does not bother you much, you can consider buying it.

Maybelline The Jewels Colorsensational Lipstick- Rubylicious Review+Swatches

I was on my lookout for a wearable red lippie when i came across this product. When the SA swatched this shade on my hand i found it to be a rich and strong color which complimented my complexion quite well.

   

The packaging of the lipstick is quite user friendly with its name written at the bottom, which helps in identifying the lipstick. 

price- Rs 350/

The texture of the lipstick is glossy and creamy. It does not contain shimmer and the color can be build up according to one's need. Usually 2 swipes are enough on my lips. It is neither sticky nor drying.Hence i am quite happy with the pigmentation of the product.

(one swipe)

The lasting power of Rubylicious is also very good. I dont find it to get patchy after a few hours like other dark lippies. It has to be removed properly with a makeup remover.

The above pictures were taken in diffused sunlight. (Also, this is the first time i am doing lip swatches and i realised it is not an easy task! Hats off to all those beauties who do it so well! I still have a long way to go...). Also although i have not used a lip brush to apply the shade, i would advice you to use a brush. 

Pros-

• budget find
• wearable red color for indian skintone
• awesome pigmentation
• good staying power
• glossy with no shimmer

Cons-

• it has mild fragrance and taste (quickly fades away) which might not be appealing to some.

Last words-

Lovely shade with awesome pigmentation and staying power. Reasonable priced too!

Celebs at Zee Cine Awards 2014

Hello Everyone!

So today i thought of doing a post on some of the looks of celebriteies that i found 'interesting' in the award ceremony.

I begin this post with the most successful actor of 2013, Deepika Padukone. In my opinion she always manages to look ravishing! However this time i think her sparkling silver sequined dress did not do justice. She could have done better. Also i wish she had skipped that silver chain head wrap. 

  Priyanka Chopra chose to keep it traditional this time and we all know that ''a Saree always works''! I   like how she didn't do much with the accessories, keeping her look simple and nice! The neon pink border on her saree really looks pretty.

Amrita Rao surprisingly looks awesome. Love her hair do and make up!

While the bright yellow mermaid dress might be a little too much for some people, i think Yami does a great job carrying it off.

In my opinion not everyone looks good in a floor length anarkali. But Genelia looks fabulous as always!

Swara Bhaskar, now i really dont know what to say! I know some people have found her dress out of the world. But for me it was a little too much..i mean i felt she was a little over dressed (keeping in my mind that she was actually not going to perform in the event). I wish she had not tried so hard!

Coming to the Star of the evening, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight, Sonakshi Sinha. I think she looked fantastic in the fishtail gown. She carried off the golden spiked headband amazingly well.
I love her makeup and her intention not to over do her look with a lot of unnecessary accessories.

The views expressed above are that of my own. I know these kinds of opinions are subjective. 

I would love to know who you found the best dressed in the event :)
