PATANJALI ALOEVERA GEL- REVIEW

A flawless face is a dream for everyone. To achieve a flawless face, all one must do is to take good care of it. Cleansing, toning, moisturising not only keeps your face hydrated but also helps slow ageing and heals many skin problem..Aloevera gel is a natural gift to us..It has several benefits and uses to skin, hair etc, and because of this many beauty products add it as an ingredient. This is my first time using an aloevera gel instead of a moisturiser and I'm never going back to using a moisturiser. I'm convinced that PATANJALI's ALOEVERA GEL is one of the best product out in the market.

 It comes in a transparent tube and is available in two sizes- 60 ml and 150 ml. It is travel friendly.

  • reduces roughness and dryness in skin
  • removes dark spots and increases skin glow

What I felt?

  As I already told you this was my first time trying an aloevera gel and I didn't expect to like it but to my surprise I love the product. It gives a cooling effect on my skin, keeps it hydrated through out the day. Also it gives a semi-matte finish, does not make my face oily or something. It works well on all types of skin(oily, dry and sensitive..). It acts like primer-helps my makeup glide on well and helps it stay long. Even after applying make-up it does not make my face feel heavy. It gives a natural glow. It did not irritate my skin, break me out or clog my pores. It does not reduce dark spots on your skin.

I bought a 60 ml tube, 150 ml tube is also available in the market.

MUSIC FLOWER LONG-WEAR 24 HOUR GEL EYELINER-REVIEW

No eye-makeup is complete without a liner. A perfect liner always has the best consistency and pigmentation. I started wearing liner like a year back and my favourite has always been MAYBELLINE's Drama gel liner until I bought this. Don't get me wrong, MAYBELLINE's is still one of my favourites. MUSIC FLOWER 24 HOUR GEL EYELINER is newest addition to my liner family and I'm pretty impressed with it.


Packaging:
It is a hard plastic pot (two hard plastic pots..yes I bought a set of brown and black liners with two brushes- a normal flat brush and an angular brush (both small yet handy). Gel liner's are travel friendly when compared to liquid or felt tip/sketch liners..so it's a plus.

Claims, Ingredients and Application:


What I felt?


  It's buttery consistency helps the product glide easily on to my skin. One swipe of it gives the perfect black/brown line. I love the pigmentation of the product. I love the colour of the brown liner but it is not as thick as the black one, yet you can build up the product to achieve the desired look. And I often use the brown liner for my eyebrows. I love using the brown liner on days when I feel like going minimal on the eyes yet look nice. These do not smudge that easily but I would still recommend you to prime your eyelids and set it with powder before applying the liner. The liner does not irritate my eyes unlike few products. It is not waterproof as claimed. As far as longevity is concerned it does stay good for like 7 hours and slowly diminishes in the inner corners of your eyes. And also the liner creases a little bit when you sweat a lot (only when you don't set it). My tip: spritz some water/rosewater before and after taking the product from the pot and then apply it on to your lids for smoother application. And for an even long lasting effect set the liner with some black/brown eyeshadow. The only con has to be it's availability.
Net quantity:
3 g (each)

Recommend- I am damn sure that you will love this product when you try it..

LOREAL PARIS GLAM BRONZE DUO-REVIEW

Sorry guys..I have my semester exam going on and I hardly find time to post..I'll try to be more active as possible..
      Don't we all love to flaunt that sun-kissed glow throughout the year?? So..I bought LOREAL 's GLAM BRONZE DUO from NYKAA like a month ago but never really had enough time to try it out even though I was super excited for this product (kaushalbeauty loves it..so obviously I was waiting for it to launch). Just last week I tried it on..and here is my take on it.
 
Packaging:
It is a pretty bronzed plastic container, making it travel friendly..yaay!! LOREAL always has the best packaging. It has two layers..top layer with the duo-highlight and the bronzer and the bottom layer has a mirror and a brush.

Claims:
  • Offers the perfect combination of glamour and colour leaving skin with an iridescent sun-kissed glow
  • Soft powder glides easily over skin to form a delicate veil of colour
  • Smooth and light weight texture
  • Does not block pores
  • No breakouts
  • Covers minor blemishes without concealer
  • Enriched with golden light reflecting particles,it is a perfect solution to sculpt your cheekbones seamlessly
Ingredients:
 No proper ingredient is given in the packaging.
Application:
Using the given brush or a fluffy brush, hit the perimeters of your face(like a 3-temple,cheekbone,jawline) and the top of your nose or you can apply bronzer all over your face (less is more applies here) for that sun-kissed glow.
What I felt?



 To be completely honest, I didn't like this bronzer. It is only like a shade darker than my skin colour and doesn't even show up that well.The highlighter kind of looks good on me..but it gets messy and spreads all over my face..also it fades away really soon. Staying power of both bronzer and highlighter is really bad. I like the texture of the product though..creamy, not chalky and easy to blend with a fluffy brush. The brush that comes with the product is useless alsi it is not so soft on skin. It didn't break me out or clog my pores. I tried the product on my cousin (fair to medium complexion) and it looked good on her. I used it only to contour her cheekbones. But the highlighter didn't work on her. I tried using the highlighter and bronzer on my eyes as lid and transition colour respectively and it worked.. 
          People have this misconception that bronzer is only for fair or fair-medium complexion..That's entirely false. I come under the dusky category complexion-wise and bronzer suits me (not this product). The darker you are, the more warm (orange-red) undertoned bronzer you must pick. Bronzer basically is for warming up your skin giving you a sun-kissed look but this product is exactly the opposite..it has cooler (pink) undertone. Also people confuse between contouring and bronzing. As I said bronzer has warm undertone whereas contour powder has cool or taupe-y undertone. Bronzer can be applied all over your face but a contour powder should be applied only under your cheekbones,jawline,temple and on the sides of your nose. Contour is to create a chiselled look(creating shadows). So while shopping for a bronzer look out for these qualities..try to swatch them before you buy it.
BTW only one shade is available-102 Brunette harmony

Recommend- If you are fair, you can definitely give it a try; for dusky beauties, not the best option for you.
