This is a very light weight foundation and you would not even feel like you are wearing any..Though the name is liquid foundation…it is more of a cream…and just a little bit is enough to cover the whole face..just half a pump..I like the dispensor of the bottle which comes out by twisting when required and goes down when not by twisting again…saves space and makes it easy to carry.
What the Company claims: Light – Medium coverage. Non-greasy, lightweight formula that wont clog your pores and feels just like your own skin. It’s as if you are not wearing any make-up at all. Convenient twist and pump, airless dispenser that reduces spillage and waste.
Directions: Ensure your primer has absorbed first, then apply foundation. Two pumps of foundation is usually sufficient – apply using clean fingertips, liquid foundation brush or a sponge.
Ingredients: Rosa Damascena (Rose) Flower Distillate*, Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Zinc Oxide, Mica (CI 77019), Glycerine*, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetearyl Alcohol, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Xanthan Gum, may contain (+/-) Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Ultramarines (CI 77007)
MRP: 59 $ for 30g
Pros:
1. Very light weight and sits on skin like second skin. 2. Packaging and pump dispensor are nice and make it travel friendly. 3. Though the directions say 2 pumps..for me half a pump is enough for the whole face and neck. 4. It gives medium coverage and it can be buildable to heavy if you need so. 5. This is going to last long..as the qty is enough. 6. It is free from parabens.talc, palm oil and other chemicals…so does not harm skin and would never clog pores. 7. It blends like a dream with my Sigma F80. 8. The website and management is very nice…they help you select the exact shade and always reply instantly.
Cons:
1. It has only 5 shades..and mine is Medium Dark which is the second darkest..the 1st three being for paler and pinker undertones. 2. Difficult to find out the exact shade online. 3. Its expensive and the shipping cost is high too..but you do get quality.

I know I am very late in reviewing this…anyways better late than never 🙂 Lotus Herbals Phyto RX Protective Lotion is a part of the professional range I had described here
MRP: Rs 225/- for 100 ml
It comes with a white stopper to avoid spillage accidentally.
It is a light pink lotion…looks similar to my HG Lacto calamine but a little denser..has a mix of herbal and rose water smell. It comes in a pump bottle and 1 pump is enough for the whole face and neck. It is meant for normal to oily skin and has anti bacterial properties…but works fine for dry skin too.
Pros:
1. Absorbs easily and is non greasy. 2. Pump bottle is easy to use. 3. Has anti bacterial properties..and helps heal the skin faster..and works great for cuts,bites,etc… 4. Makes skin feel cool. 5. Has a light tint and can double up as Tinted Moisturiser if topped with compact. 6. This is going to last real long…as only a little qty is required.
Cons:
1. Needs a cap. 2. Makes my T Zone oily in 2 hours…and thats the main problem. 3. Only available at professional salons. 4. Not all herbal ingredients.

Ok I know the head line is cheesy :p But wanted to name it anyway 🙂 And I obviously mean the Charm Factory Bracelet for which I had a giveaway.
About Charm Factory: We feature almost 5000 high quality, unique sterling silver charms, bracelets, beads and more. Silver charm bracelets are so easy to personalize. Start by choosing a charm bracelet (or necklace). Then add as many .925 sterling silver charms as you like. Each charm comes with a free jump ring to attach it to your bracelet.
Made in the USA
Our charms and beads are .925 sterling silver and manufactured in the United States, all lead and nickel free. Our pewter charms are also nickel and lead free. Charm Factory products do not contain cadmium, which is a concern with some products made in Asia. (The jump rings attached to our pewter charms do contain a small amount of nickel. A few imports that we do not make here, like some chains from Italy, are noted in product details.)
I have the December Zircon bracelet from the beaded range..since I am December born 🙂 Its has pretty transparent bluish green beads in silver chain and a heart lock. Its obviously heavy coz of the silver. And the beads are loose and move around. See more designs here
MRP: 14.99 $
Pros:
1. It has beautiful range of designs and different colored beads and even letters, charms, etc 2. Made from pure silver or sterling silver depending on design selected. 3. Goes pretty much with everything. 4. Most of them are lead,nickel and cadmium free.
Cons:
1. This range has 1 single adjustment ring..and so would not look good on girls with thin wrists. Though the other ranges do have adjustable lock chain. 2. Shipping takes a lot of time..it took almost 33-34 days to arrive.

Now I was very scared to color my whole hair..though I have got streaks before..I thought of going with streaks again and as mom colors her whole hair…I got basic black for her..see has used various other brands before..
I had got a violet streak before from Lakme salon..which after few months faded to light brown.
I got Plum for streaks..I thought of going with lowlights this time as a streak at the end of hair is IN these days and looks nice with open hair..and here is my experience..
Wella Kolestint hair color pack contains four things..and are named 0 to 3 on them..They have
Pre coloration treatment
Hair color creme
Developer
After color Intense Shine Treatment ( Conditioner)
MRP: Rs 519/-
They have a detailed instruction leaflet along and a pair of gloves to color the hair. Here it is in easy language:
Step 1 is to apply the pre coloration treatment.
Step 2 is to mix the color creme and developer in equal qty properly untill they merge.
Step 3 is to apply the color on your hair and let it stay for 40-45 minutes.
Step 4 is to wash off the color with plain water until the water comes out clear.
Step 5 is to apply the after color treatment..keep on for 2 minutes and wash off.
Pre coloration treatment
Color creme and developer in equal qty
So since I had to get a streak I tied my other hair with a clip..followed the steps and used aluminium foil to cover the streak. If you are coloring whole hair you can directly mix the cream in the developer bottle..but if you are getting streaks..you should mix the required qty in a plastic bowl.
The color is ammonia free and the conditioner is quite good. It overall keeps your hair soft and shiny..but the only problem is the color payoff…it does not match upto the level required.
Some tips for whole hair coloring:
1. If you are coloring your whole hair make sure you wash your hair 2 days before as the natural oils of hair will help coloring better.
2. Apply vaseline or petroleum jelly on forehead and skin around to protect skin from getting colored..
3. Wash off the excess stains on skin immediately after coloring.
4. If you feel any irritation…stop immediately and do not color more and wash off..
Ok..this post was lying in my drafts from 6th April but I just could not get the swatches right..Finally I got a new cam and new better swatches..so yay !!
