Hello beautiful people, I got few products from Inveda in my Santasbox and its been few months since I've been using them.  I got Inveda Essential night cream, Inveda Papaya and Hibiscus Moisturizer and their Green tea makeup remover. The products worked quite well for me and I quite liked the fact that these are Paraben free. Below are my thoughts on each of these products: 1. Inveda Essential night cream (Buy here) :  I use this cream every night on my face and neck. I love the fact that despite this bein a thick cream, its not greasy or sticky at all. The cream gets absorbed instantly into my skin and works awesomely in giving me a baby soft skin next morning. Also, it has mild smell of rose water which is quite relaxing. The only issue is the packaging as it comes in a jar packaging, so you need to take care of keeping your fingers clean or use a spatula to scoop the product out. Rating: 4.8/5 2. Inveda Papaya and Hibiscus Moisturizer (Buy here) :...

Klair's Rich Moist Soothing Serum I am usually quite particular about the creams that I use at night. For day time I can easily go ahead with just a sunblock and a regular moisturizer, but for night time creams, I generally pay special attention to what I am applying on my skin. The cream should be effective enough to relax, regenerate and refresh my skin over the night, and gentle enough to not cause any discomfort in my sleep. So far the best cream for the night time that I've used had been Lancaster Aqua milk that just blends seamlessly into my skin giving a soft dewy finish. I even have used Lancôme Genifique Youth activating serum, but it was a bit too strong for everyday use. I use it only when my skin needs extra special care. However, in current monsoon weather with all its humidity around, even Lancaster aqua milk began to feel a bit greasy on my skin and would make my sweat slightly, so I was looking out for a cream or serum that I could use this time, which...

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 ...

If you’d been my blog’s follower a month back and had gone through my posts, I posted HERE a challenge of using Lancôme Discovery Kit for one month to see any visible results on my skin. Above is the kit and all the products that I started using from October 9 th , 2011 till now. My experience with this kit: I started using all the products that came with this particular kit once every day since October 9th, 2011 and my first experience was somewhat unbelievable and quite amazing. The first thing that I used was Lancôme Genifique Youth Activating serum. I applied two drops of this Lancôme Genifique Youth Activating serum all over my face, and went ahead with my regular makeup routine. I have oily-combination skin and I usually need to do touchups on all the oily-zones after a couple of hours. However, the day I applied this serum, my face remained perfectly fine for whole day. I could see that it looked brightened and shine-free, which definitely made me go "Wow!...

I bought the following discovery kit yesterday from Douglas, and I am planning to religiously use all the products from now i.e. October 9th, 2011 to November 09, 2011 and see if there are any visible differences on my skin.
