Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion Review!

First I want to know if  u guys like the new layout of my blog!!  Ter might be lil issues but I am working on changes :)


And here goes the review of one of the most raved about skin care products:Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion for Sensitive skin :)

Price:126 bucks
 
Availability:Pharmaceutical outlets

Description :

Cetaphil Cleansing lotion is a non soap and lipid free lotion that allows gentle and thorough cleansing without irritation associated with harsh soaps and cleansers.It is specially formulated to be non-drying and non-irritating.Its non-alkaline pH of 6.3-6.5 approximates the normal skin pH and thereby does not disrupt the normal pH balance of the skin.


(phew!!I had to type this out from the package insert!! )

USAGE AS MENTIONED:
Apply Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion and massage gently.Avoid scrubbing your skin.Rinse with water.


HOW I USE IT:
I just take a small amount on a cotton and wipe my face with it.After 30 seconds or so,wash my face :)

It is slightly milky with a consistency that is a cross between liquid and gel!

PROS:

• It is mild!A blessing for the dry skinned
• Not drying.After using this I need not use moisturizer for nearly 20 mins which is definitely something in this winter.
• It removes so much dirt from my face.I travel long hours everyday and the pollution is terrible.This keeps my face squeaky clean :D
• It reduces the need of a toner!!
• Rightly priced as u need a very little amount everytime.
• My skin feels better after using this..no stretchy feeling,no irritation or itching.no stings in the pimple area!

CONS:

• I wish it would come in a pump bottle for hygienic reasons
• Oily skinned would need a stronger cleanser..but u can use it in the night to remove all the dirt ;) damn effective!
• Not a con but my attitude facewash is even milder and I prefer that over this!

I used it remove my makeup and it was good but my makeup isn't waterproof !!So I tried it on Faces long wear eye pencil which is waterproof(and smudgeproof!! ) . I had to rub the cleanser 4-5 times to completely remove it.So U need to use something else to remove ur waterproof makeup!


RATING:

4.5 out of 5

RECO:

Yay!If u r on a journey to find a mild cleanser that leaves ur skin squeaky clean witout drying then u ought to make a stop here :D




P.S:Check out the home page of this blog!! :D

My Stylecraze Haul!!

I got Neutrogena Ultra Dry Touch Spf 50+,Lotus cocoa lip therapy and Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil in Metal Brown!!They sent me a sample of Oxy deep clean facewash :) I think it is for men so I am gonna give it to my best friend :P

 And I also got AM mineral glow scrub,Cetaphil Cleanser and Amway Attitude face wash!Sorry about the inverted image :P I tried many times but it didn't work!

 

I wanted the AM mineral mask but it was out of stock :(

A little Chat from the Heart!!

Errr..It is beauty related!!

 Yesterday  I was feeling stuffy at home and so decided to pay a visit to H&G (improves my mood a lot!! :P )

I thought of putting on makeup full throttle as it has been days since I wore a blush :| Slapped some moisturizer and put on lil foundation Then I noticed that it looked like an ill fit mask on me! I washed and tried again !Same results.I realized my whole face looked so damn stupid red!And no nothing wrong with the makeup items :D  Irrirated I just removed the makeup and got out of the home!!As I walked on the road I felt uglier with every passing moment :(

It was my UGLY day!

I felt like clawing my face,pulling my hair,and what not ! Even the tinted lipbalm on my lips felt ugly..what can i say??
The more I thought about it the more I hated myself !I focused on my imperfections and cursed myself :|

When I was in school and madly in love ( :P I am still in love but haven't told the guy yet!!Yes am a coward ;) ) I never faced this!But these days I feel uglier than normal!!Like I can't face this world!Do bad relationships(broken friendships and untold love) have effects like this??Yes the emotional part of me is severely bruised :P I don't know!
I feel insecure and my self confidence levels get really down!

And I felt so ugly that I didn't go to H & G!Instead went to a temple :D To be honest am not very religious person but from time to time visit this temple!And boy oh boy did I feel good??

I felt calm!!And then I went to a supermarket and grabbed some chips and popcorn :P And by the time I reached home I felt so much better :) And Today as I look into my reflection I can't find that patch..its vanished :D

I didn't want to brood but I really want to know how u guys deal with ur ugly days!!It will help in sorting myself out :)

Colorbar Concealer -Instant Coverup Stick!!

I usually have nearly clear skin that doesn't require much concealing.But I suffer from under eye circles and the occasional zits that pop up at tyms like U are meeting sum1..or first day of semester :@ 


Garnier didn't work for me as u guys know it!Sigh!So I got this one.It cost me 425 bucks for 1.6 g!Pretty expensive but hey it works ;)

It is creamy but tends to become flaky if used on very dry skin(eye areas) :| So remember to moisturize a bit over ur eye areas before whipping out ur concealer wand!
I have it in the shade Almond coffee which is the darkest.there are only 3 shades available:

• Apricot Crush : Light
• Caramel Treat  : Medium
• Almond Coffee : Dark

 The SA told me how to use it.In her words:
"Madam do not rub!Pat the concealer in with ur ring finger with slight pressure and u r done!" 

Guess sometimes the SAs give good Gyaan :D
The drawback is that it needs to be sharpened and this would lead to much wastage!Another sigh escaping my mouth :P
 U can easily carry it around and it is great for spot concealing!Draw out the stick,apply in strokes over the area,pat and Blend with fingers!And yippee Ur face is almost clear :D
Lasts for max 6 hrs in the humid weather!! am nt complaining! :D
It provides light to medium coverage and if u have severe acne and marks then this isn't for u ;) Try the colorbar concealer pots for heavy coverage!

U can get them online from urbantouch.com or stylecraze.com !

Lipstick Love : Revlon Colorburst In Peach Review!!

Am obsessed with Peaches and Oranges these days:D And I wanted to try out the Colorburst range from Revlon!

It comes in a classic black packaging with Revlon printed across the center!The lipstick as u can c also contains an engraving of REVLON!!I find it pretty chic :D 


It is a medium peach shade that is devoid of pink or brown undertones!Totally peachish :D
The only drawback is that it is sheer and u need to swipe it thrice (for me) to get the actual color on my lips!
This lipstick is worth d money(580/-) and I am thinking of Soft rose and Blush :D Is more suited for fair complexions.
Its creamier than Lakme lip love and doesn't require a lipbalm underneath! And definitely doesn't emphasize fine lines :)



It works great when paired with soft pink blushes ;) or if u want to go all peach then I recommend the Faces Burnt Sienna blush !

Lipstick Love: Lakme Lip Love In Rose Kissed Swatches and Review!

Lakme is obsessed with rose  and kiss :P First it was the Cheek Artist from the Fantasy Collection "Kiss of Rose" (which was a gr8 blush :) ) And now the Rose Kissed Lipstick from their Lip Love range!


It is a warm pink color tat luks darker on the tube!

Luks darker in d swatch

The lipstick spells glam in the packaging.I adore the "LOVE" inscribed on the tube as well as the lipstick bullet :D :P

It is so creamy..just glides over my lips :D

 And It can be worn on an everyday basis with a light hand and when a little darkened is perfect for night outs!! 

Pigmentation is high.The swatch is of single swipe.

Finish is creamy and looks glossy for half an hr or so.

The Color lasts on me for 4 hrs without any food.but fades in case I take food to a light almost MLBB rose shade :D

 And am not gonna comment on the *inflation* of Lakme Products!!

            Highly Recommend this shade as it will suit most Indian skin tones!!

Garnier Roll On Tinted Review!

Let us face it! Under eye circles look good ..errr..Great only on Edward Cullen. But what about us-mere mortals??I definitely luk like Panda (no nt cute:( ).I got this when It was newly introduced. So sorry for the very late review :P

This is my First Concealer.Now  really hate Garnier ads :@..grrrr they manipulate u into buying their good for nothing products :(

I got the shade in Light since the SA suggested so. I regret: It makes my under eye area look greyish like corpse. It is a rather moody product..works sometimes and betrays me other times :| I am yet to figure a proper way with it.

But it is definitely a plus that it doesn’t crease or streak and lasts well for 4 hours nearly in the Chennai heat!

RATING:

:D :D 

 

P.S: I gt the colorbar concealer and loving it <3

Blush Lust: NYX Tea Rose Blush Reviewand Swatches!!!

I love cream blushes! They do wonders for my dry skin :)
NYX Tea Rose luks like an earthy pink colour in the pan...like it has slight peach undertones. But on my cheeks it transforms into a natural flush I get when I massage my skin :D

It is extremely pigmented and a tiny amount is enough!!
It is lil oily and gives a glow but oily skinned beauties can pat a lil compact over it ;)
I got this from urbantouch.com at a discount (520 bucks!) while it usually is priced at 650/- in India. Sigh!! Is it d Customs?? No idea :\
And It has absolutely *NO SHIMMER*!!! I have been in absolute glee from the day I received it..its puurrrfect for the winters :D :D
GRAB ONE BEFORE THE WINTER MELTS!!!
