Nivea Fruity Shine Pink Guava Lip Balm Review

15 Replies

by Venetha

Hi my friends,
Today I will be reviewing one of the most raved about products –  Nivea Fruity Shine pink guava lip balm. This range is a hit amongst college girls and no wonder, I too fell prey for it. It has many options including strawberry, cherry, pomegranate and dragon fruit. But I fell for the look of the pink guava lip balm and so I wanted to try it right away.

Product Description:

The innovative formula of Nivea Fruity Shine with Pink Guava extract and shimmering pigments provides long lasting moisturisation and a delicious fruity flavor giving you soft and smooth lips with a light pink shimmer.

Delights your lips with fruity flavor and long lasting care
Enhances your lips with shimmering pigments and a delicate hint of pink
Contains SPF 10. Protects against UVA and UVB rays


Ingredients:

Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 129 for 4.8 grams.

My Take on Nivea Fruity Shine Pink Guava Lip Balm:

It is a twisting tube pack just like most lip balms and lip colors. The cap shuts in place and it is easy to carry around in your pocket or purse. I love the coral pink colored cap with cute little details on it which makes it all the more attractive. It is an adorable piece.

The lip balm itself is a gorgeous pink colored bullet with very fine shimmers on it. It smells good, not exactly like a pink guava but something close to it. I personally do not prefer fruity fragrances, but this one is to my liking.

The application is fuss free as you can swipe it on your lips directly from the bullet. The lip balm goes on smooth and does not bleed away. It stays for 2-3 hours and moisturizes my lips well. Even after the product fades away, it keeps my lips soft and supple. You can always reapply when you need it.

With one swipe you get a very subtle pale pink tint that won’t show up on pigmented lips. Two or three swipes and you are ready with naturally pretty pink lips that will add a glow to your face. It is a great option for everyday use especially when you prefer to have a natural makeup look. You need not seek your MLBB lip gloss or lip color. The shimmers are not loud but just perfect.

If I use it before hitting the bed, I wake up to a totally soft and pretty pout with mild pink tint. With regular usage, I notice that my lips are chap free now. It also has SPF 10 which is almost mandatory in all products these days. So that is a thumbs up!

Why I like this Lip Balm?:

  • Moisturizes well
  • Pretty pink tint
  • Travel friendly
  • Decent price
  • Offers sun protection
  • Chic packaging
  • Keep lips soft for hours
  • Easily available

Why I don’t like this Lip Balm?:

  • Even if I were stringent in my choices, there would be absolutely nothing that I would loathe about this lip balm!

MABH Rating: 5/5

Final word: 

It is the most amazing lip balm I have ever used. It is great in terms of hydrating lips, tint, pricing and packing. It is the love of my life.

Would I repurchase it?:

Duh… Yeah! I am already on my second tube.

Would I recommend it?: 

Definitely give it a try if you don’t have highly pigmented lips. It will win your heart.

Vaseline Total Moisture Aloe Fresh Body Lotion Review

9 Replies

Hi my friends,

How are you all doing? The weather is getting pleasant again and I totally love it. It’s a good change from the usually scorching sun 🙂 Rain or shine, our body needs constant pampering. Of all parts, skin is exposed the most. Moisturizing is a mandatory step in skin care no matter what. I have been using this body lotion for quite a while and I thought it was the right time to review it.


Ingredients:



Price and Quantity: 

Rs. 149 for 300 ml

My Take:

The lotion comes in a solid green plastic bottle. The flip type cap is easy to use. Though it is not a pump style dispenser, too much product does not come out of it which is great.

Aloe vera is what drew me to this product and its presence is evident from the fragrance. It is so refreshing and smells good. The fragrance stays on for an hour or two at the maximum. The lotion is white in color; the consistency is so light and spreads over the skin like dream. The product is water based and this makes absorption effortless. The skin is soft and supple after applying and I can feel my skin has had its dose of moisture for the day.

Since my skin is not very dry, this moisturizer is the perfect bet for me. It is also a good buy during the summers because of aloe vera. Dry skinned people will not be satisfied with this lotion; they will be better off with something else particularly meant for their skin type. If it had sun protection, it would have been really great. But since it is a moisturizer that does a decent job, let’s look past it.

 

Why I like?:

  • Good moisturizing effect
  • Fresh fragrance
  • Light and non sticky
  • Paraben-free
  • Very affordable price

Why I don’t like?:

  • Not suitable for very dry skin. There is nothing else I could find wrong with this.


Rating: 4.5/5

 

Final Verdict:

I absolutely adore it. I suggest you grab this product if you are looking for a fresh and light moisturizer for your body.

Revlon Pink Peony Powder Blush Review, Photos and Swatch

14 Replies

Hi friends,

A pop of color adds so much prettiness to our face. It makes you look younger and cheerful. Revlon Pink Peony is my first blush. Blushes were not really my forte as I had a tough time finding a shade to my liking. That was when I got this product as a gift.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 850 for 5.1 grams

My Take:

The blush comes in a square pack with a transparent lid on the top. The packaging is sturdy, travel friendly and the transparent lid allows the user to pick the shade easily from a stack of other blushes. A pop up mirror is also provided that allows you to apply blush on the go. But the mirror pops up quite powerfully. Some of the blush had actually chipped off from the sides the first time I pressed the button. I am really careful ever since.

The color is a nice mauve pink that is not shimmery making it a perfect wear for the day time. The color is very subtle when applied but that gives a good control on the amount you want to apply. One can always build it up if needed. For the color to show up well you need to go over twice at least. The proper way of wearing a blush is to start at the apple of your cheeks and brush up towards the hairline. The shade would suit medium to fair skinned girls.

Even though no mention of ingredients scares me out, it has never irritated my oily acne prone skin. I find it very light to wear. It is easy to pick up the blush with a brush and even a beginner cannot make a mistake by going over the top with the color. Brushes meant especially for this purpose would be more useful than the small brush provided with the product. However, the bristles are not harsh on the skin. It might be of use while travelling.

The staying power is around 3-4 hours. There is no hint of color left behind after this period and one has to reapply.

Why I like?:

  • Subtle wash of color
  • Travel friendly compact packaging
  • Does not irritate the skin nor causes break outs
  • Mirror and brush included.

Why I don’t like?:

  • Average staying power
  • I find the price a bit high (what do you say girls, is it okay?)

Rating: 3.75/5

Overall verdict:

An understated pink blush that is ideal for college or office wear. For the ones who are still skeptical about getting a blush, please get one soon and see the difference it makes to your whole look 🙂
