Review: Lancaster Aquamilk Absolute Moisture & Protection - Cream

By
I bought this cream a couple of months back from Germany. I was browsing through various counters in Galleria mall located at Stuttgart's Königstrasse, and I was looking to buy a nice light-weight face cream for my oily-combination skin. When I asked about such a cream to an SA at the Chanel counter, she told me to give Lancaster Aqua milk a try. While I was wondering about the brand, she just dived to the Lancaster counter next the Chanel's one and got this classic looking jar for me.
She told me that she also had combination skin and Lancaster's Aqua milk has been her HG face cream till date. Her skin did look smooth and radiant (though makeup can do that too!) and I was a bit hesitant about getting this cream, but she was so cute and so persistent that I went ahead and bought this. I've been using this cream almost daily night on weekdays since past 2-3 months now and hence can now review it below. Check out more details below:
This soft cream, for face and décolleté, provides more hydration, nutrition and anti-ageing protection thanks to a delicious cocktail of plant-milks, honeys and natural patented anti-oxidant RPF complex. Skin is softer, comfortable, healthy-looking for longer.

Instant Hydration*: 95% 
Instant Nutrition*: 95% 
Anti-Age Protection**: 80% 
*Source: consumer test, 98 women - cream 
**Source: clinical test, free-radical protection

Innovative Technology:

Skin is well nourished and moisturized thanks to an exclusive plant-milk complex, combination of Coconut, Palm and Rice milk. Honey extracts act as a protective film, sealing in moisture and nutrients for prolonged hydration. Skin is well protected thanks to a patented powerful anti-oxidant complex (RPF).

Price: $45 for 50 ml (Around INR 2250/-)



My experience with this cream:

I love love love this cream to the core. This is the best night cream I've ever tried till date, even though it doesn't say it is a night cream. I love everything about this aqua milk cream - right from the consistency, to the fragrance, to the way it disappears into my skin and brings forth fresh, bright and even-toned skin next morning. Frankly speaking, after having used it for past 2-3 months now, almost daily night on weekdays (I use Lancôme Genifique concentrate on Saturday night and Lancôme Genifique night cream on Sunday night), I must say I've not felt the need to put on any foundation since past 2-3 weeks now. My skin looks radiant, glowy and even toned. The pigmentation around my mouth has almost vanished. Also the slight white patches on my cheeks are gone. I am in love with my skin and all thanks to this cream!

Check out a quick list of likes and dislikes that I've felt about this cream:

Likes:

1) This aqua milk cream from Lancaster has a serum like consistency which makes it easy to apply and spread on the skin.

2) It gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy, without leaving any sort of oiliness, greasiness behind. It is perfect for my oily combination skin as it is very very light.

3) It has a very mild floral fragrance which is quite soothing.

4) I love the way it has brightened up my skin with every night's usage. My pores are reduced, my skin tone has become more even, all the weird patches are gone! I simply can't thank it enough.

5) Quite quick in action. You can see the effects within 4-5 days of usage.

6) A very less amount is used to cover the whole face, so one jar would run for a long time.

7) Never ever broke me out. I use it every night from Monday to Friday and I love using it.

Dislikes:

1) Comes in a jar, which I don't like much as it makes the application a bit of a task. I need to be careful that my fingers are clean before I get the product out. Also, I don't like cream getting into my nails. It just grosses me out like anything.

2) Availability is a concern. I wish Lancaster comes to India asap!

Rating: 4.5/5 (A)

Overall verdict: I am really happy to get this product and all thanks to the SA who suggested it. It has become my HG night cream now, and I'd definitely love to buy it again.

Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts - Review

By
Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts  The best way to spend four hours of waiting period in Dubai transit is to do shopping. In all the shopping I did there, I bought this particular lotion as well. The main reasons behind buying this lotion were: 1) I wanted to try Olay as a brand as I’d heard a lot of good stories about it. 2) I wanted a light moisturizing face lotion that has SPF, UVA/UVB protection and could be worn easily below my foundation for day wear.

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

By
Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses. I bought the shade 04 Glimmer: Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss Like usual glosses, it comes
