Garnier Pure Active Pore Unclogging wash - Review

However, when I got a chance to try this particular face wash from Garnier, I had good expectations from it because of my earlier experience with their facewashes. So, did it work for me? Let us check it out below: Garnier Pure Active Pore Unclogging wash Garnier PureActive is a new generation of concentrated formulae tested on acne-prone skin.   Is PureActive Pore unclogging wash made for me?

Lifecell Cream: Larger than life? – A Review

Often marked as an all-in-one cream,  Lifecell  claims to be the one pack solution to fight all the signs of aging. So I finally decided to give it a try and here is the review of one of the best anti aging cream in market Ingredients: D3P acid: this is the key ingredient of the cream and contains anti-oxidants to fight wrinkle causing free radicals. A study once proved that the D3PA has the chemical structure to produce nitric acid which dilates the capillaries. UBIQUINONE: this is also a strong anti-oxidant. When used with the combination of carotenoids it provides protection from inflammation and premature aging. DEANOL: a study proved that continuous application of Deanol for 16 weeks effectively reduces the forehead lines and wrinkles. With regular usage this cream helps in muscle toning and firming. ASCORBYL PALMITATE: this ingredient is rich in Vitamin C which lightens dark spots and provides Sun ray protecti

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow - 015 Flashback Silver: Review, Swatches, EOTD

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow  - 015 Flashback Silver Price for the quantity: INR 450 for 3.5grams My experience with this eyeshadow: Though I am more of matte person when it comes to eye makeup, I seldom do love to spark it up with a bit of glitter and shimmer. This particular eyeshadow from Loreal has been a part of their latest L'OR Electric Range of makeup. The other two infallible eyeshadows launched with this range are - All night blue and Eternal Black Flashback silver is a warm toned silver shade with very minute and fine shimmers that look beautiful on application. It is kind of a taupy silver color which can be quite flattering to Indian skin tones. I've mostly used this eyeshadow along the inner corners of my eyes, but it rocks equally well on the lids when I want to sport silver smoky eye look. The eyeshadow is quite decently pigmented to give a nice color in first stroke, however you can always build the color to your requirement. The te
