Review: Lakme Absolute Bi-phased Makeup Remover

Hi everyone,

Today i am reviewing a great make up remover from Lakme . It is called the Bi-Phased Makeup remover 
Remover is a unique formulation which consists of Oil as well as water, where the oil phase lifts off makeup while the water phase refreshes and conditions skin without leaving any stickiness. It effortlessly removes all traces of makeup from the face, leaving the skin feeling fresh and hydrated. Suitable for removing face, lips & eye makeup.

Quantity: 60 ml
Price: Rs 210/- ( in few website you may get the same for Rs 199/-)
Availability : Available on www.Flipkart.com , http://www.nykaa.com

Lakme makeup remover

Packaging: One of the best thing of the product is the packaging. It is a plastic bottle, hence light weight which makes it easy to travel with. it has a spray pump which ensures that the cotton is not drenched in to the product. you can easily control the quantity that you want to use.

Fragrance: It has a very faint aqua fragrance
Quality: It removes even the water proof makeup with 2-3 swipes. It does not irritate the eyes! taking out water proof mascara with this is very simple & quick. It does not leave any oil layer on your face post use. 

Usage: It needs to be shaken before use so that the oil & water layers in this are mixed. For removing eye makeup , just spray ( 2 times)  the product over a cotton & place it on your closed eyes for 5 seconds & then swipe the makeup off.
Verdict: This is as good as any high end makeup remover such as Elizabeth Arden & Lancome. This should last you for 2 to 2.5 months

Rating: 5/5

Following are the images of how well this product works. I tried it on long stay lipstick, kajal pencil and eyeshadow. in just two swipes all the makeup was gone!

Why should you remove makeup before bedtime?1. Free radicals in makeup cause the breakdown of healthy collagen, which results in fine lines on the skin.
2. Makeup can clog the pores while you sleep, resulting in the development of acne."
3. Makeup stains on your pillow become a platform for bacteria growth. The bacteria growing on your pillow will infect your skin and cause breakouts, blemishes, and even acne.
4. Foundation prevent the skin from renewing itself naturally at night, causing blackheads, acne and dullness.

Review: Maybelline Color Show lacquer (nail polish) shocking seas

Review: Maybelline Color Show lacquer (nail polish) shocking seas

Today i am reviewing maybelline gel nailpolish Shocking seas 303.
These are gel based nailpolish.
Price:75/-
Quantity: 7 ml

Color: The colour looks beautiful on the hands, it is a fresh colour. Different from the std nail polish colors availaible in mkt.
Application: however the colour came out very sheer and uneven in s single coat. But on second coat the color evened out.
Staying power: the colour started to fade a bit from the edges of the nail at the end of the day. Would recommend to use a top coat for ensuring it lasts longer on your nails.
Brush: It has an average brush.
How to carry the colour: I think the color will look good on all skin tones. Will look better if matched with the same color dress. You can even choose to dress in all white or beige and accessorise

in blue ( similar color to the nail paint) or with white shirt and jeans. I think this colour will stand out beautifully with a neutral color background. According to me it is more of day wear.
Verdict: i loved the colour and it is also easy on pocket. I think by using a top coat i can ignore the weak staying power of this product. I will definatley be buying more of the colours in this range
Let me know if you want me to review any more colours of maybelline colour show.
Where to buy: will be availibale in all makeup sections of shopperstop, westside,newu,pantaloon depening on stocks. You can also check for online purchase at nykaa.com
