PONDS WHITE BEAUTY-Daily Spot-less Lightening Cream

Hmmm..This is definitely not a new product that I had shopped for. I got this sometime back when there was all this hype on the introduction of this range. I went to get this one and its cleansing brother to H&G. And u know wat there was a combo offer going on these 2! :) So  I bought both for a comparatively cheaper price..don't remember it thou sorry!

The tub:

Today after my facewash I was going to apply my newly acquired PONDS Tinted moisturiser when I decided that is zyada for sitting at home :P Then I thought of applyig the lotus aloe one but that moment my eyes fell on this pretty tub of white beauty :P I like the packaging a lot.It looks chic doesn't it?
So the reason I didn't use this cream before is:
**It doesn't blend well.
**Gives a whitish cast 
Moving on to the actual review of this daily spot-less "lightening" cream:
I am not much a fan of lightening products but I do get occasional pimples which fade without any trace *touchwood* but recently they have started leaving black spots or marks as u like to call those brats :spank: :spank:! After seeing the endless ads of vanishing spots I crumbled and bought this...might have happened with u too so stop snickering:P 
It comes in a cute tub which I absolutely adore :D The cream is a little peachy white in color and smells umm well like ponds dreamflower talc to me..nearly...

THE SWATCH:

On normal blending:

On some more blending:

Only after u get to blending it more than above u ill stop noticing the whitish casts:(

APPROVALS:
>>The packaging is classy.
>>Only a little amount is needed.
>>Even though it doesn't fade the marks it Conceals them to some extent.but if u have dark spots..it won't be of much use:\
>>The smell is subtle and feminine...I like :D
>>Doesn't make my face much oily as many other creams do..can be used by normal skin beauties in the summer..and if u r little oily and live in Chennai..u can use it for the evenings or early mornings..I mean for college;)
>>It does make my face a tone fairer..but beware if u use too much then u will look like u had a fresh coat of berger paints on ur face!

DISAPPROVALS:
>>BLENDING is a major issue with this one :( u have to blend blend and blend a lot..which is time consuming and nt fitting if u r in a real hurry!
>>Might not suit ppl with yelow undertones...just a thot.. I am more on the pinkish side..;)
>>Not at all for the oily skinned.
>>Doesn't fade the dark spots as mentioned.grrr...I used homemade remedies for my spots..might share them with u thru another post ;)

RATING:
:D:D:D and half :D 

Guys U can try this if  are on for some lightening results atleast while u r wearing it..otherwise u can give this a miss;)

Do Drop in your Opinions and Comments about this product..I would Love to read them :)

LIPICE-Strawberry REVIEW



I have already mentioned tat I am crazy abt lipbalms:D So I am here with the review of another lipbalm...LIPICE which is a well known brand in Japan.I went shopping yesterday and got loads of stuff :P and on reaching the bill counter I saw the Lipice fruit lipbalms and their glossy lipbalms.I went berserk and picked up one to know wats the hype abt this lipcare brand.




Sry abt the inverted image :P

Here is how it looks:




No swatches cuz it is a no color lipbalm.

It comes in a white stick with a twisting mechanism so easy to use.Just twist it up and apply on ur lips.The lipbalm smells of strawberry since I got that flavour:) But it has got no taste and on application it gives a tinkling sensation to the lips which I love :D

This is what the packaging says:
  • Combination of lanolin and mineral oil will moisturize lips to prevent drying and chapping.
  • SPF 15 will protect the lips against UV rays.


INGREDIENTS:
Mineral oil,Ozokerite,Petrolatum,Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Octyl Salicylate,Lanolin,Flavour,Dimethiocone,Menthol,Camphor

APPROVALS: 
>>The camphor gives a refreshing sensation.
>>It gives a matte effect and nt the glossy one..gud for Chennai summers.
>>I like the strawberry smell.
>>SPF factor is good.

DISAPPROVALS:
>>It doesn't give enuf moisturization.:(:(

RATING:
:D:D:D

I would recommend that u guys try this atleast once since my lips are damn dry!!and there is the spf factor and the tinkling camphor sensation!This might work for you;)
I am planning to get the glossy one next time but it is costly..230 bucks :O while this one cost me 120.

LOTUS ALOEHYDRA GEL REVIEW-Y I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT :D

My Skin sometimes behaves weirdly and tat too the Chennai summer makes it frequent :( I used to have a Normal skin type but now I have a weird Combination type by which I mean suddenly It becomes dry and suddenly oily.So the safest bet for me is to use a creme that doesn't make my skin oily or a gel that is moisturizing enuf.But the former is nearly impossible so I chose this aloe gel from lotus :) And I love this product to bits :D






This is what the website claims:

Re hydrates skin and enhances its moisture retention capacity.This special formula gets quickly absorbed in the skin. 

The SWATCH :




It is a yellowish gel with thick consistency.It comes in a bottle with a pump which is very fitting for getting the gel out:) Also only a little amount of gel is required.So works well for me:)

APPROVALS:
>>Even though It is a gel it does not dry out my skin.
>> Doesn't make my skin oily..nt even a teeny weeny bit <3
>>The product is cost effective
>>Due to the gel like consistency it gets absorbed fast like within seconds.very useful for me during the college mornings:D
>>Gives a healthy glow to my skin
>>Didn't break me out
>>Hygienic since it has the pump dispenser
>>Feels very light..a boon for the Chennai summer:D

DISAPPROVALS:
>>Dont knw if it is my bottle alone but the cap is a little loose..

No other con for this super cool product :D

I would definitely recommend this to all combination skin Beauties but the dry skined ones this may not be for u...

RATING:
:D :D :D :D and half :D

So whats ur opinion guys??








HAIRSTYLES-SONU ISSTYLE :P

Hiiya !!!

                This is just a random thought on the (In)Famous Hairstyles of SonuNigam :P :P I adore him as a singer and he used to look gr8 :D He is the no.1 male singer according to me and his voice is so beautiful :) But nowadays his hairstyles are more known than his singings skills...So here is a quick glimpse of his hairstyles thru the years...


He looks wow :D 

Looks a little aged par phir bhi mast :):)


I personally like this look which he came up with in his album CLASSICALLY MILD!!He looked a greek god in the videos of this album :)

This look is passable doesnt look bad but nt good either..


It is a proof that he is trying hard for publicity dont know why :|





I was ROFL on looking at this pic:P :P 

Pretty Interesting huh:P
Some days back I was watching the movie Underworld and realized that the leader of lycans LUCIAN played by Michael Sheen and Sonu bore resemblances...So i googled the images and have put them up here :D




So is it tat me gone crazy or you guys share my views on this???
