This festive season get rid of pigmentation from its roots!
Now no one goes deeper than the new Vichy Bi-White Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence!
As we welcome the Festive and Wedding season, one wants the perfect skincare product that will help get rid of the unwanted pigmentation and dullness. Skin looks radiant and glowy only when treated from within. Vichy Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence is just the perfect option one should opt for.
Skin whitening expertise has only focused on the outermost layer of the skin –the epidermis- for the longest time, but recent findings have now clarified that fibroblasts altered by the sun and ageing induce overproduction of melanin which is deep seated into the dermis. This overload of melanin causes pigmentary ageing, severe dark spots and dull skin. To combat this problem, VICHY Laboratoires offers the revolutionary Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence that targets the deeper roots of melanin and inductive melanin agents such as inflammatory mediators yield by UVs, pollution and stress to control pigmentation.
The Vichy Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence is a skin lightening breakthrough with its CERAMIDE WHITE™ + LHA to act in every single layer of the epidermis and DRM-WHITETM Technology to target the dermis. Optimally concentrated Ceramide White™ de-pigment cells in every single layer of the epidermis by acting at the root of melanin production.
Vichy Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence has proven guaranteed efficacy on the following problem areas:
· Dark spots
· Dullness
· Yellowish skin tone
· Irregular skin texture
The essence shows a drastic improvement in the skin’s overall appearance by acting on dark spots, dull skin and skin’s quality. The product has clinically proven correction of dark spots, it is free of parabens and is proven suitable for Asian sensitive skin and is enriched with the Vichy Thermal Spa Water. Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence is Hypoallergenic therefore it does not cause breakouts.
100% women confirmed that regular use of Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence gives:
· Visible whitening effect
· More even complexion
· More radiant skin tone
· Reduction of skin dullness
No one goes deeper than Vichy’s Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence to unveil flawless luminosity of the skin from within!
Glow through the festive season this year with pigmentation-free skin and make heads turn!

Matrix Design Pulse sounds interesting..you like any of these ?
I had shared about the Body Shop Lily Cole Collection HERE..reviewing the liquid eyeliner and Hi Shine Lip Treatment today..and the two way mirror..
Lily Cole – Hi Shine Lip Treatment
What the Company claims: You can never have too much lip gloss, especially when it’s as super-glossy and super-delicious as this. Our wet-look gloss gives maximum shine and has a sweet flavour too. They’re limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch them while you can.
High gloss
Moisturising
Dermatologically tested
Sweet flavour
Limited edition
MRP: Rs. 400/- for 6ml
Shades Available are Go Pink, Go Naked, Go Wild and Go Play
I am reviewing Go Play which is a peachy nude shade..these are transparent glosses with shimmer..with just a hint of color..these would not cover pigmented lips..
Has a sweet fruity smell which I like..and is little sticky in texture..which actually makes it long staying..these are quite moisturising as claimed and high on shine too ! More so for topping up lipsticks if you like glossy, shiny pout..
It has a built in slanted applicator which makes it easy to apply..and is quite travel friendly too..the only issue would be removing the product at the end..
Lily Cole Collection Liquid Eyeliner 20 Ink Up Violet
What the Company claims: Our liquid eyeliner goes violet. Easy to control, the felt-tipped applicator puts colour exactly where you want it.It’s limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch it while you can.
Easy to apply
Smudge-resistant
Suitable for contact-lens wearers
Ophthalmologically tested
Dermatologically tested
Limited edition
MRP: Rs.795/- for 3ml
Its a felt tip liquid eyeliner..the felt tip makes it easy to control and use..dries to a semi matte finish..it sure is smudge proof and stays put the whole day..
Ink Up Violet is a true bluish violet shade..though I like the shade, it sure is pretty expensive for a liquid eyeliner..of 3ml qty !
Here are the swatches..
The two way pink mirror is quite cute. Great for grooming on the go. Two mirrors – one magnifies. A perfect handy mirror for your bag. Surely recommend it..
MRP: Rs. 595/-
What did you like ? Have you tried anything from the Lily Cole Collection ?

Have you tried the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation ?
What the Company claims: Except that this nail polish is available in different trendy colors, there are more details:

– Gives a beautiful shine
– Color depending on number of layers

MRP: 4.5 Euros for 13ml (Approx Rs. 300/-)
The shade PK212 is called Plum Milk..
Skinfood has tons of shades to shades to choose from..and apart from Nail Vita, they have other ranges too..
I love the shade..it is cool toned baby pink..but very sheer..needs 2-3 coats for it to show up properly..and takes some time to dry too if the coats are layered.
But it stays for 4-5 days without chipping and later too with some minor chipping stayed for around 10 days..
Gives a glossy finish..and the brush is easy to use too..and comes off easily without any staining or drying..
It has vitamins and keratin to protect the nails and prevent breakage..I am not sure of that..but nails surely felt better and not even drier..
And at 300, 13ml is a very good qty too..only issue being it is not available here 🙁
You can buy it from the BB Cream Shop HERE
