NEUTROGENA DEEP CLEAN FACIAL CLEANSER REVIEW

About:-
Deep Clean Facial Cleanser works two ways to improve the look and feel of skin.

First, this dermatologist-tested formula cleanses deep down into pores - dissolving dirt, oil and makeup. Then, it removes dead surface skin that can dry, roughen and dull your complexion. It rinses clean, without leaving any pore-clogging residue. Skin looks fresher and healthier, feels smoother and softer.
Oil-free.
Normal to oily skin.
Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).

Price:-  Rs 350/- for 200 ml.







Pros:-
  • It makes the face squeaky clean.
  • Doesn't dry out skin.
  • Doesn't hurt the eyes.




Cons:-

  • Not travel friendly packaging.


My Verdict:- 
IT has a pump like tube which is not travel friendly as it will leak out.Its  light brown in color.
I was using this facewash and when the bottle got over I moved on to different facewash :)
but after sometime I purchased this again, because of its pump like bottle its easy to use in
home and it make the skin  so clean and removes all the oil ,I have a combination skin.
It lathers as much as required.
Its a non-comedogenic which means it will not clog the pores.
It also doesn't hurt the eyes as much lakme facewashes hurt.

LUSH SUGAR BODY SCRUB REVIEW

About:-
Solid Sugar Scrub is tough on cellulite and unwanted bumps, but kind on your skin. Its no nonsense attitude doesnt waste any time getting down to business; sweetly exfoliating with Fair Trade sugar and stimulating circulation with fennel and ginger. Its not all rough stuff though; calming lavender has a balancing effect and encourages healthier skin. Get yourself wet in the bath or shower (but dont let the bar get under the running water). Scrub, scrub, scrub and rinse away! Youll be left with smoother, cleaner and radiant skin.


Fresh Ingredients:-
  natural ingredients     safe synthetics


Fair Trade Sugar , Sodium Bicarbonate , Cream of Tartar (Potassium bitartrate) , Sodium Laureth Sulfate ,Fresh Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) , Fennel Oil (Foeniculum vulgare) , Lavender Oil (Lavandula augustifolia) , Fresh Ginger Root (Zingiber officinalis) ,Lauryl Betaine , *Limonene , *Linalool , Fragrance ,Chlorophyllin


How To apply:-
Get your body nice and wet in the bath or shower. Scrub with the whole thing or break off a piece. Smooth your scrub all over, rubbing harder on the rough parts leaving you with bright, smooth and glowing skin. Rinse off. Oh, and dont forget to admire your freshly buffed bod.









Cons:-
  • Problem to store it once you open the pack.



Pros:-
  • It smells so fresh.
  • Makes the skin soft.



My Verdict:- 
The first word for this product is awesome. It smells so fresh and it makes the skin so soft also.
But you cannot rub it directly on skin its very hard. when you will open the pack, you have to crush it and store it in a jar. when you will apply it, the sugar in it melts down. It smells so fresh and awesome... :) and the smell lasts for some time.
It looks so yummy ;) .

Phospholipids: Cellular compatible microspheres that deliver active ingredients within the epidermal layers while helping to improve skin texture.

Pros:-
  • Removes the fine lines.



Cons:-
  • Price is little high.
  • Availability in stores is a issue, but its available online.
  • Doesn't help much in removing puffiness around the eyes.
  • The larger tub like packaging is difficult to use, you have to dip in your fingers and its unhygienic.




My Verdict:- 
Its a light blue gel.I have been using this for a past one month and I can say that, it has not helped much

in reducing the puffiness of eyes. I apply it only in night before going to bed because it takes some time to get absorbed into the skin..and In morning I dont have much time to wait for it.It tightens the area around the eyes.

My Verdict:-  

Its light green in color. Its a paraben and soap free product. It lathers less, but it contains SLS.
I have been using this shower gel for more than a month, and I like it but I like Vantiv shower gel
more ;)
However every product from this brand also claims that, it balances the pH level of skin...
It moisturizes the skin well, but my skin needs more in winters......its good for summers.
I will not buy it again because vantiv shower gel and The body shop satsuma shower gel are much better
than this.

I like this toner more because it contains Bioflavonoids :) Some benefits Bioflavonoids are :-
  • They can also defend your skin against the damaging effects of stress, pollution, and even age itself.
  • Bioflavonoids have the ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species by donating one of their electrons, thus  stabilizing the molecule and breaking the oxidative chain.
  • This can result in visible signs of healthy, more vibrant skin.

FLORELLE TRUE KHOL PENCIL Review

About:-

The True Khol Pencils, made in Milan, are bestsellers across 35 countries in Europe and are from the house of the Swiss brand, Florelle. Made with very soft lead, the pencils do not get crushed even on rough edge. love its smooth application on the inner edge of the eyelid without any irritation. Use it everyday to define the shape of your eyes with precision.


How To Use Hold the kohl pencil as you do when you want to write using a pencil. Using your index finger of the other hand, press the bottom your lower eyelid, just below the lash line so that your waterline is much more visible. While looking into your mirror put kohl pencil tip at your eye corner near your tear duct and glides along your waterline. You could use either a single continuous line or several short dashes. Next, close one eye and place your kohl pencil on the inner corner on your upper eyelid. Draw a line using short dashes, and slowly fill them. You could also use a single swipe. Using a cotton swab, smudge your upper eyelid if you want to get the smoky look. You should smoothly blend out your color reducing the harsh line you might have created.



My Verdict:-  
A khol pencil with very smooth application but with a very poor staying power.
within one hour of application only this kajal started smudging :(
generally I am using Lakme eyeconic kajal which has a great staying power, and which stays on my lower
lashline from 9 to 5, I love it.
But florelle disappointed me  :(.

Swatch of  Single Application



Pros:-
  • Easy to use
  • Very smooth application 
  • Gives a intense black color




Cons:-
  • Poor Staying power
  • Smudges really faster
