I mentioned about the launch of Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter HERE
What the Company claims: A savoir for lips during cold winter months or dry summer days, Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter contains a combination of Mango, Shea and Coconut Butter to naturally soothe lips while giving a touch of color that outshines any dull day.
Pampering gel formula glides on lips buttery smooth and hydrates lips
94% of women saw a difference in their lip moisturization
Gives balm like feel to lips, making lips feel soothed, pampered, and conditioned
Naturally fragrant with Vanilla Absolute
SHADES: 15 delicious shades: Pink Truffle, Raspberry Pie, Tutti Frutti, Brown Sugar, Peach Parfait, Fig Jam, Candy Apple, Red Velvet, Cotton Candy, Berry Smoothie, Cherry Tart, Lollipop, Strawberry Shortcake, Sugar Plum, Sweet Tart.
M.R.P: Rs. 600/- for 2.55g
It comes in silver packaging with a pink or purple transparent cap wit criss cross pattern. The qty of 2.55g is as much as your pinky finger ! Yes, its that less..
These are super glossy and hydrating..though sheer but are buildable..the darker shades are quite pigmented..the gel formula gives a lip balm feel..so the effect is somewhere in between of a gloss and lip balm and a sheer lipstick..lighter shades stay for 2-3 hours and deeper shades stay longer leaving behind a tint.
Cotton Candy is a blue based bubble gum pink with golden shimmer..the shimmer adds to the warmth of the shade and gives some glossiness..but it is not gritty and is hardly felt. Though the shade is cool toned, it does not wash out or look pale..but in fact on me its a my lips but better but a little pinky kinds..an everyday shade for me !
Pros:
1. Super hydrating. 2. Pigmented. 3. Give a glossy finish. 4. Lighter shades stay for 2-3 hours and more deeper ones longer and leave behind a tint. 5. Available in 15 shades and all shades are super gorgeous. 6. The mango and shea butter do heal in dry lips too. 7. Nice packaging. 8. Very light on lips..you won’t feel you wearing a lipstick.
Cons:
1. The qty offered is too less and since these are to be layered as come up sheer in one swipe, if used regularly, they would finish up in 2 weeks ! 2. Expensive ! For the qty, these should be priced at around Rs. 400-450/- 3. Need 3-4 swipes for pigmented lips.
Overall these are quite good..and the shades offered are awesome..you are sure to like a minimum of 3-4 out of the 15 ! There’s one for everyone..a super hydrating and glossy lipstick which feels like a lip balm.

Have you tried Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter ? Your favorite shade??
What the Company claims: Prepared from a traditional formulation of natural herbs nourishes skin for smooth, radiant & glowing skin. Natural extracts of Sandal & Saffron ensure that the beauty of the skin is enhanced and nourished.
Usages: Mix with Oil or Rose water or Milk into a creamy paste. Gently massage over skin. Leave paste for a few minutes before rinsing off.
This is a part of a RITUAL range introduced for Diwali..other products are a body massage oil, hair oil and a red sandalwood soap.
As you can see it has all the natural and herbal ingredients which are good for skin..a ready made mask full of natural goodness…now no need to get red sandalwood powder, neem powder, ambe haldi, almond, saffron, etc and sit and combine them all..I am loving each and every ingredient in it.
When I first opened it, I was surprised to see it stuffed till the brim..in fact a layer above..I expected it to be half full as with other products normally..
You can mix it with rose water, oil or milk..I prefer milk..and mixed a teaspoon of it with milk and blended well..its a brown colored paste…and has a herbal smell.
It is to be massaged on the face all over and then let to sit for 5 mins..it dries quickly..unlike the packs which keep you waited 20 mins 😉
I was getting a pimple on the forehead..and after using this 2-3 times, it never grew and just settled 🙂
Pros:
1. It is super easy to use..in fact I feel if you are in a hurry..you can just take some in your palm and mix with normal water and use..I have tried and it works that way too. 2. Since it is both a scrub and mask, it exfoliates and at the same time smoothens the skin tone. 3. Skin felt baby soft after using it ! 4. The neem and haldi have antiseptic properties which helps acne prone skin too. 5. Qty is huge enough for the price. 6. No parabens, SLS, preservatives. All natural stuff 7. All amazing ingredients together..its a pack full of skin goodness.
Cons:
1. Availability is an issue..currently it is only available on NaturalMantra online and at Auravedic stores.
I find no other con with it..its all natural and good for the skin. And I surely recommend it..

Simple Tips to Enhance the Results of Makeup Guest Post
Beauty is important for the purposes of boosting self-confidence. There are several ways that people go about attaining the looks that work for them. The most important areas that need concentration are the skin and hair. When one takes good care of these two features, the result is seen in the elegance they display.
There are simple pieces of evolving beauty make up advice that people can use to boost their attractiveness. Application of makeup can turn out to be disastrous if not carefully done. However, there are products that help a lot in applying make up to the face and skin.
For those who use foundation, the importance of keeping the skin moisturised first cannot be emphasised enough. However, this may not be sufficient in giving you the look you would like to reap from the foundation. It is important to use a well-selected primer before using the foundation. If it used after moisturising, it makes the surface light enough so that the foundation can be spread evenly upon the skin. There will be no patches that ruin the look. Also, the application will last for longer.
There are those who wish to use as few chemical products as possible. With evolving beauty make up advice, you will learn that you could have fabulous nails with no chemical use. There are nail varnishes to choose from that do not contain chemicals. They give the best results in nail appearance and come in several shades. This group of people is also most likely to opt for organic beauty products. These are cosmetics made as natural as possible and are best for those with sensitive skin. They do not function any less effectively. They may be more expensive due to their qualities.
Seasons also affect the way people look. Because seasons come with different weather conditions, there is a need to choose make up that complements the conditions you stay in. When this does not happen, make up may not stay for long before beginning to look ugly. Consequently, there is also make up tailored for such climates as autumn or summer. To have the best look, regardless of the weather, you might have to consider the season factor.
The health of the skin on which you apply makeup cannot be ignored. It is important to use exfoliators and cleansers, as well as moisturisers on the face, instead of merely covering everything up with makeup. Ordinary salt can be put to the palm of the hand, mixed with a few drops of water and then rubbed over the face to remove dead skin. In the event of dry skin, it is important to use serum after exfoliating, but before moisturising. Serum is rich in anti-oxidants and is especially important for oily skin, yet it can be used in all skin types.
Beauty is important to a lot of people. However, the way they seek it will determine how they can achieve it. Following simple advice on the best products to go for and how well to care for your skin is the first step to achieving true elegance.

The latest trend in hair this festive season is ‘Natural Styling’! The naturally sleek, flowing look suits everybody regardless the attire. Blow drying and ironing ones hair is the look this festival. So let go of artificial ironing that exposes hair to unnecessary heat and damage, go ‘Steampoding’ instead. With Steampod, L’Oréal Professionnel introduces a revolutionary tool designed to enhance straightening, hair care and styling services offered in the salons. With the help of the SteamPod – the most advanced straightening tool in the world – you can go from curly to straight, or create beautiful, natural curls in a lesser time while treating your hair. Whether long or short nothing suits traditional attire like the naturally flowing hair. As you get ready for the festivities hair, get the curls, waves or straightened hair with one simple hair ritual at your salon – Steampoding.
Steam Pod Iron
The possibilities offered by this multi-functional salon tool are impressive. It delivers a continuous stream of pressurized steam from an in-built steam generator that combines heat and steam to improve the frizz discipline better than the conventional straightener whilst making the hair shinier, more supple with natural movement. With Steampod, treat your hair as you style. An easy and safer alternative to ironing, curling and blow dry’s the steam combined with the Loreal Professionnel Steampod smoothing cream enriched with Pro-Keratin, ceramides and cationic agents nourishes the hair for an amazing result. The Steampod concept, with its 8 patents is a true technological breakthrough and is designed around one key element- Steam.

The iron is so effective that each hair strand has to be passed through it only once to get perfectly styled hair with natural movement. It’s a big time saver for hair stylist’s and clients alike. Steam Pod has a technical prowess to achieve ultimate results for sublime hair. With high technology anodized floating plates that provide pressure on the strands and five temperature settings depending on hair sensitivity and on the desired style, Steam Pod is every hair stylists delight.
How does this work?
Hair is permeable to steam. The water breaks weak bonds and makes it soft and re-shapable. Hair gets reprogrammed for styling when its realigned by the comb and the floating plates. The heat of the plates dries the hair as the water vaporises and the weak bonds of the hair are restored. A detachable comb allows the stylist to separate/ detangle strands before application. Steam pod is also equipped with a water demineralization system for steam of unrivalled purity.
The Steam Pod Smoothing Cream: This steam activated smoothing and repairing cream is enriched with Pro-Keratin, ceramides and cationic agents that help rebuild fibers and strengthen inter-cellular cement to offer optimal protection against damages from heat. This product is highly recommended to be used on towel dried hair before every Steampod service.
