Pink Lolita

My Take on Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Lolita Lip Balm:

This lip balm comes in a cute pink twist up tube, quite convenient and hygienic. The lip balm stick is bright pink. It smells like a candy but very mild fragrance.

It is a bright pink balm stick which is quite sturdy, never faced melting problem even in hot summer. It glides on lips smoothly. On application it turns out to be a very mildly tinted pink. The smell is candilicious and fragrance stays for a good time.

It moisturizes my lips which are quite dry. It is neither waxy nor sticky. It is also light on my lips. I love the glazy effect on my lips and quite often use it underneath lipstick. This pinky also stayed on my lips for a decent time.

Everything was fine until I noticed the ingredient list. Even though I have used it earlier but never bothered about what is it made of. Actually, it contains loads of chemical (which we study/ied in our organic chemistry chapters!) hence it became one con.

What I like about Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Lolita Lip Balm:

Convenient and hygienic tube package
Contains SPF 16
Decent staying power
It heals chapped lips
No melting problem
Lips are well moisturized
Affordable price

What I don’t like about Maybelline Baby Lips Pink Lolita Lip Balm:

Lots of chemical ingredients

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, it’s a good one.

Would I Repurchase?:

I want to try other variants.

Nomarks Cream for Oily Skin Prone to Pimples Review

15 Replies

Hello Beauties,

Do you have a habit of buying some new stuff and toss them on your shelf, not looking back because you don’t like it or something else. Ok, what kind of stuffs? Dresses, DVDs, cosmetics or textbooks (kidding!) 😛 Well! In my case, it is skin care products. I use it for few days and if the results aren’t evident in short period, I forget about them. Same thing happened with no marks cream but I retrieved it and today going to review it ha!!

Price & Quantity:

40 Rs for 12 gm

My Take:

This pimple control cream comes in green tube package along with a pamphlet explaining three more variants for different skin types such as dry skin, normal skin, and acute pimple suffering skin

It is yellowish colored cream. Its consistency is soft and smooth, spreads easily on skin. It smells like herbal ointment.

I bought this one after lot of research and used it then & there. Well, improper use never gives best results but I didn’t realize it and just made it to sleep on my cupboard for months. Once my neighborhood sis praised lot on Nomarks cream, I woken up my cream from long sleep.

It is a soft and smooth cream. It blends on the skin effortlessly. It made my oily skin too greasy and dull, which I hate more. Then, I decided to use it as night cream and forced myself (hehe… I am a lazy person!) to use it every night. After doing it for a week, I saw something mmm… Is that my acne scars lighten up? Wow! I felt really good and there after I used every night religiously with anticipation. Even my stubborn acne scars faded and slowly disappeared.

It improved my skin complexion too. Results are visible within a week, Isn’t that fast? But it didn’t prevent occurrence of new pimples.

PROS:

Convenient and hygienic tube package
Affordable price
Ayurvedic ingredients
Results are too quick
Lighten up acne scars
Improves skin complexion

CONS:

Makes skin greasy
Contains paraben

Rating: 4.5/5

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, because I find it better than some anti blemish creams which costs 450 bucks for just 15 gm, still fails to keep up the promise.

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, I will buy this wonderful cream ever and ever.

Clean and Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Purifying Apple Review

27 Replies

Hello beauties,

When Clean and Clear foaming facials introduced new variants, I promised myself that I am going to try all three variants one after one. Then, I have to pick one among three.. hmm which one? I have a kind of aversion on cherry flavor; it reminds me of cough syrup! So, I reserved it for some other day and my eye scrutinized next variant, its lemon. Wow!! My favorite, Yes, I am a lemony person but I felt the color wasn’t appealing. The remaining flavor is Green apple and picked it immediately. Ahh!! Don’t think I bought because I had no options but I was hypnotized by its cute color and package. Hehehe!!.. Thanks for your patience reading all the blah blah blah!!

Price and Quantity:

Rs.50 for 50 ml

Shelf Life:

24 months

My Take:

Transparent plastic bottle with purple flip cap. It is available in 20 ml, 50 ml & 100 ml packs. The package is quite sturdy therefore no worries of leakage.

Color of the face wash is mild green with bursting beads. The consistency is slightly runny. It is a mild fruity smell. The fragrance is lovely though it doesn’t smells exactly like green apple.

It is a Johnson & Johnson product which is a trustworthy brand for many including me. Clean & Clear morning energy face wash purifying apple has bursting beads which is green in color. The beads are soft, it does dissolves but you need to put some effort on mashing it. When you squeeze the face wash for single use you might get 1 or 2 beads.

Good consistency hence it spreads on skin easily. It doesn’t lather too much therefore removing the foam is an easy job. It cleanse the face nicely. The Clean and Clear didn’t make my skin dry and stretchy. It completely removes the trace of oiliness and prevents oil secretion for 2 hours.

The product claims that it helps in preventing common skin problem. It does not break out my skin. It does nothing to existing acne. This one didn’t cause any problem to my face thus I am completely satisfied.

I am not a big fan of neither green apple nor green color but after using it I got addicted to it.
In fact, I didn’t keep up my promise of trying all flavors. Yes, I have finished more than 6 bottles of green apple but not yet tried lemon. Once I got berry flavor but before finishing it, I bought green apple once again. I’m completely under the spell of Clean & Clear morning purifying Apple.
