Maybelline Make Up Remover Eye and Lip Review : Before and After Photos

Hello beauties!

Eye makeup is an essential part of every day make up for everyone be it a student or a working women or a simple housewife. It changes the look of a person in a jiffy. Just a little kajal makes a woman look more expressive and beautiful. But we cannot wear makeup to bed, as that might invite many eye infections, fine lines and wrinkles and many more.

So its extremely important to remove every speck ok makeup before falling asleep. I was lazy enough in this work until I found an easy solution.

Product Description:

Efficient and easy: this formula instantly removes all eye and lip make up, even waterproof and non transfer.
Gentle-formulated for sensitive eyes, it is especially very gentle for the delicate skin around eyes.

215 INR for 70ml

My Take on this Makeup Remover:

I cannot stop myself from saying this that this is a must have in every girl’s kit. It removes every speck of makeup without irritating the eyes and is safe for lens wearers too. I have also tried this on my daughter who is addicted to lens, and she has never faced any irritation or redness in her eyes after using this.

This makeup remover comes packed in a small plastic transparent bottle. Its light weight and comes with a small hole at its mouth to control the amount of product coming out. As per directions I shake it before using as you can see in the pictures itself that it consists of two layers- one of oil and the other of water. So basically its oil plus water formula used in this.

The blue part floating above is the oil while the white part of the remover is water. I take a very little amount in my cotton and gently place it over my eyelids . after a minute or two, I swipe it across my upper as well as lower lash line very gently. Trust me it takes away everything including waterproof eye make up. Added benefit is that the oil part of this remover does not make the lids dry or stretchy.

For this review I tried it in makeup removal and voila it works see how in the following two images.

So its clear from the images that is so effective and gentle in eye and lip make up removal without any extra effort. It does not drip even if not used in perfect quantity so no raccoon eyes too. Even though the price may seem a little steep for the quantity but very little is required every time. So girls this is excellent, so just run and grab it!

Small Tip on Making this Economical:

I use this only for eye make up removal, only when I have used waterproof eye make up as it minimizes the effort and I don’t have to pull my skin apart to remove make up too.

Why I like this Makeup Remover?:

Its ophthalmologically and dermatologically tested
Removes every speck of makeup even the waterproof one with such ease
Light weight and easy to carry around.
Does not irritate eyes
Does not dry out the under eye skin
Easily available
Suitable for people with people with all skin types.

Why I don’t like this Makeup Remover?:

Separate make up remover is required for the face
Price may seem to be steeper

MABH Rating: 4.8/5

Final Verdict:

To sum up my review I would say that this is a HG eye make up removing lotion which is safe and saves a lot of time. Hope this helps. Take care! Bye!!

Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion for Sensitive Skin Review

15 Replies

Hello beauties!

I am back with another review and this time it is a mild but effective cleansing lotion. Last winter it was so chilly in my city that my skin started getting dry patches every few days. I could not scrub or use soap based face wash on them as it would worsen the condition making it drier than before. Those patches were so ugly; it was getting terrible day by day. My derma saw my skin condition and prescribed me Cetaphil cleansing lotion for sensitive skin.

Product Description:

See image please

Price:

149 INR for 125ml

Shelf Life:

Best before two years of packaging.

My Take on Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion:

You know I don’t have any reason to say why would I or anyone else not love this cleansing lotion. It is all in one kind of face wash. It is an all season face cleansing lotion for dry and sensitive skin. I have a friend who gets mad at products having strong smell but when I gave this to her she was super happy as it does not have any smell. To add to this is the perfect consistency of the product that is neither too thick nor too runny.

As per directions I used this to wash my face twice a day and yes I did this religiously everyday, no cheating! This made my dry skin over those patches soft and the dry skin got peeled off gently without any scrubbing. I had to follow this cleansing lotion with my regular moisturizer as I could not track Cetaphil moisturizer offline or even online in India. To be more specific Cetaphil cleansing lotion gently cleans skin without irritating it or making it yell for moisture.

Before doing this review I tried it in makeup removal and voila it works and removes every speck of impurities though one needs effort to get rid of water proof makeup. As I comes in a small bottle so its travel friendly and suits my whole family . And before I forget it works on combination skin too but not if someone is looking for a complete matte look. Do I need to say more, go grab this girls, it is affordable unlike other medicated washes and is cost effective too.

What I love about this Cleanser?

Its recommended by doctors all over the world.
Its affordable and leakage free
Easy to wash off
It cleans the face effectively.
It removes makeup and other impurities.
Does not irritate sensitive skin
Does not dry out the skin
Easily available
Suitable for people with dry, sensitive and combination to dry skin.
Separate variants available for oily skinned lasses

What I don’t like about this Cleanser?

These are no cons for me but I have to mention these:

Its not a foaming cleansing lotion
Does not do anything to control oil

MABH Rating: 4.5/5

Final verdict:

To sum up my review I would say that this is a HG face cleansing lotion for people suffering from dry, dull and sensitive skin so if you are facing such problems then you can give this a try. I keep it aside and keep coming back to this whenever my skin calls for help. Take care! bye!!

Streax Hair Pro Hair Serum Review

16 Replies

Hi everyone!!

How many of you can vouch for the fact that you are not a beauty addict? I can’t as I am so addicted to Make and Beauty Home. Not a single day goes without checking the updates. And I must add the DIY collections are splendid, they work for sure!

So coming to my new review- it’s a hair serum from Streax this time that I am currently loving so thought of sharing this with you all.

Product description:

Streax Pro hair serum
Vita gloss
A rich treatment of Vitamin E for frizz free, satin smooth hair.

Streax Pro hair serum is the ultimate frizz resistant formula that instantly seals silky smoothness into hair cuticles. Enriched with vitamin E , it smoothes rough and damaged strands to make them shiny and frizz free. Detangles unruly hair Provides extra shine and frizz control to straightened, permed or colour treated hair Styles hair while blow drying or using flat irons

Ingredients: Cyclomethicone,demithiconol,light liquid paraffin,octyl methoxy cinnamate, iso propyl myristate, perfume ,vitamin E and Almond oil. Price: 160 INR for 100 ml Shelf Life: Best before 3 years of manufacturing.

My Take on Streax Pro Hair Serum:

I have dry and colour treated curly hair, my hair is actually so dry that even oiling my hair prior to washing it does not always help. Neither can I oil my tresses ever other day nor step out with that chipku chipku look. I was in search of a good hair serum to solve my problem when I got hold of this.

The best part of this hair serum is not one but many. To count a few of them would be its effectiveness in detangling hair, imparting shine to hair and keeping my tresses in place and so on. Its comes packed in a small plastic light blue bottle with a small pump . Its so easy and light to carry around on trips but mind you this does not require reapplication or what we call touch ups to hair. As per directions I apply this to partially wet hair because hair serums work best only when applied to slightly damp hair.

Only 2 pumps is enough for mid length hair. The smell is so invigorating that it makes me feel fresh and nice. Now moving to the result part – it makes the tedious job of detangling hair simpler. I wait for my hair to dry completely after applying the serum and trust me I have lesser and softer tangles to deal with. Just a little hand work and I am done .I can brush through my hair without stopping at knots in between hair strands. It controls frizz to a satisfactory extent and hair stays in place for a long time.

I am in love with this serum and would like to try the other variants from this range next time. To add to this all I can say is that it works on dry colored hair for sure but does not repair it from within rather it smoothes the area temporarily. In fact serums are just a quick fix to detangle hair and get rid of hair breakage, control frizz and impart shine. They cannot repair split ends or repair any kind of damage so it is useless to expect such results from a hair serum.

Why I like this Hair Serum?

Makes de-tangling hair easier than ever before
Controls frizz
Affordable
Smell becomes milder with time but stays on the hair
A little amount is required every time
Its plastic bottle is light and easy to carry
No reapplication required for the same day
On normal hair the effects last for two days
Hair becomes softer than before
Its enriched with the goodness of vitamin E
No parabens in the ingredient list

Why I don’t like this Hair Serum?

I wish it could add a little more shine to hair
If you use serums everyday then you will find this costly
I cannot comment on the styling part as I don’t style my hair with straightners.

MABH Rating: 4/5 (-1 as it very little shine to hair)

Final Verdict:

I would recommend this to girls with frizzy and dry hair who are looking for a nice serum to tame their tresses. The best part is that even if you apply a little more by mistake it does not make hair limp and works no matter what!
