Nivea Visage Refreshing Face Wash Gel Review

Retweet this button on every post blogger
I am not sure but I guess the Nivea Visage range came out somewhere in 2006-2007. It was such a huge success over here with the great ads they did to show how it’s best for young people. I have been using it since then though I keep switching to other washes every now and then.

Quantity:- 150ml
Price:- Dhs. 23.50 ($6.3)

What Nivea says about their Nivea Visage Refreshing Face Wash Gel?
To keep normal and combination skin fresh & supple all day long, its natural moisture balance should be respected even during cleansing.
NIVEA VISAGE ® REFRESHING FACIAL WASH GEL effectively yet gently purifies normal and combination skin:
It removes dirt while respecting the skin’s own lipids and moisturisers help prevent skin dehydration.
The refreshing facial wash gel purifies and invigorates the skin.
Result:
The skin is deeply purified for a fresh skin feeling.

How I use this face wash?
This is my almost 5th tube of this face wash. Shows how much I like it :P
I mainly use this to remove my eye makeup since this is the only wash that does not sting or irritate my eyes. I use a different face wash for daily morning use though. This is more like my night face wash as I get rid of all my face makeup with this before sleeping.

What I like about it?
· It’s the best mild face wash ever. Even people with super sensitive skin can try it.
·  Can be used daily
· The packaging is nice. The plastic used is kinda hard so while pressing out you can make sure you don’t get out too much for the fear of wastage unlike with the other normal tubes.
· Has a mild aquatic fragrance
· I have a combination skin & it works fine for me.

What I don’t like about this wash?
· It claims to purify and cleanse deeply however I don’t feel totally cleansed after using this. I wash my face again with a deep cleanser again whenever I need it.
· I don’t think this would work for acne prone or oily skin.

I would recommend this wash to everyone especially to those who are having trouble finding a mild face wash for daily use or those with sensitive skin. This is definitely worth a try.

My Rating:- ♥ ♥ ♥

Song of the Week #1 - Marry You

Retweet this button on every post blogger
I am a music fanatic. Usually if I hear a song somewhere be it just a 2 secs tune it will go around my head for atleast one whole week. So I have decided to have this section of the Song of the Week or SOTW which will be posted every saturday or sunday. You will get to see & hear what I have been listening to the whole week & please feel free to share what you have been listening too!!

Song of this week - Marry You by Glee Cast
This song is orginally sung by Bruno Mars (who I love btw) but I think the glee version of this song is just too good especially since it has female vocals too. It was sung in this week's episode of Glee where Finn & Kurt's parents decide to marry each other!! This is such a cute wedding song. Infact I think it would be perfect for proposing :D


Did you fall in love with this song as much as I did? Also share with us your songs of the week :)

World's Most Expensive Nail Polish !!!

Retweet this button on every post blogger
Gold Rush, a new lacquer introduced by UK's brand Models Own happens to be the world's most expensive nail polish with a hefty price tag of £83,000!!!
Now you may wonder what really makes it worth that much. Well, it comes complete with a gold lid made from a solid ingot of yellow gold, weighing nearly 4 ounces & is embellished with a total of  1,118 diamonds diamonds on the lidwith over 14 carats of VVS quality and D, E and F coloured gems.

And guess who happens to be the first purchaser of this polish? None other than our very own nail queen Katy Perry!!
Now while celebrities like her can afford to spend on such so called luxuries either to make show of their status or splurge in few impulse purchases not caring much about how much they spend, we normal people will have to make do with £5 version of the polish (obviously without all the embelishments) which will be available in their online store mid Dec & in Boots stores from 23rd Feb onwards.

Now my question to you all is would you buy £83,000 version of this polish if you could afford to? I mean wouldn't it just be better to get all the gold and diamonds used here seperately & actually use to wear them rather than have them stuck on your polish bottle?

Do share with us your opinions :)

Layla Cosmetics Graffiti Top Coat Review

Retweet this button on every post blogger
Haven’t had enough of Barry M’s Instant Nail Effects, Cover Girl’s Crackle polish, Australia’s BYS Cracked Polish, or P2 Crackling Top Coat? Well there is something new in town!! Layla Cosmetics Graffiti Top Coat, which is along the same lines as these crackle effect polishes. Layla Cosmetics is a budding Italian brand and they have a variety of products ranging from makeup, nail products, makeup/nail accessories, hand care & spa products.
Size: 10ml
Price: €10,90 (around
£9.2 )

From Layla’s website:
A Top-Coat to apply on every type of nail polish, even clear, the product will change in a few instants. No nail will be just like the other and you will be able to create millions of different looks.

Initially I tried this with a dark green polish and it looked horrible. But then I decided to try with this light blue glitter polish and I think it gives an amazing effect. Since we don’t get any of these crackling effect polishes here, I have no idea how good an effect they are supposed to give but I must say I’m pretty happy with the way this graffiti top coat looks on my nails. I even tried it on clear polish as recommended & I think it looks even better.


What I like about this polish?
·        Amazing crackle effect in to time!!
·        Easy to use:- just apply it as a top coat and be amazed to see it shrink like small cracks on each nail.
·        Matte Effect
·        Does not take much time to dry
·        Nice thin brush, easy to hold
·        Good quality
·        Great for nail art beginners or those who want an amazing effect without having too much time to do intricate nail art.

What I don’t like about this polish?
·   The writing on the bottle is in white which makes it difficult to read since the polish is also in white. I couldn’t figure out the instructions on how to apply it until I just tried it myself.
·   Available in only 6 colors. I think they should make it in more different colors and possibly in other effects like holo etc. That would be something new and different.
·   I think £9.2 quite expensive for a 10ml bottle. I might as well buy Barry M for £3.95 for the same quantity but I am not sure if the quality of both will be same as I haven't tried the other.

How you tried any product from Layla Cosmetics? What do you think of them?

Disclosure: This item was sent for review purposes. The review is based on my own personal and honest experience with the product.

Who else got shocked seeing this cover??

Retweet this button on every post blogger
I just adore both Jake Gyllenhaal & Anne Hatheway!! I am like a huge fan of both these actors. So I got a shock of my life seeing this EW cover (not just because they are naked) but because they are naked together. lol their pose made me think they are a couple. I hysterically referred online and found they are not. They are just trying to promote their new film 'Love & Other Drugs'. Jake has supposedly even said that both of them appear to be naked in 65% of the movie!! Now who is waiting to watch it :P

 But seeing the Entertainment Weekly pics I think they would make a great couple!! Do you think so too?

I became an Avon rep !!

Retweet this button on every post blogger
You saw it right, I am an Avon representative :D I want to share with you guys my exact experience.

This happened during the start of this month. My neighbor is an Avon rep and knowing how crazy I am about their products she asked me if I wanted to apply for becoming a rep myself. I applied and got a response back & then the Avon lady in charge of my area came to visit my place to actually train me since I was having problems in visiting their office. I was really awed by that. She came with this black bag which contains samples, brochures, bill memo, purchase order form & a training book. This first training lasted for almost 2 hours where I was briefed about everything: Avon’s history, their present market value, advantages of being a rep, how to approach customers, my sales target & how to place an order. There are few things I learnt in the process:-
  • Avon’s more than 120 years old i.e. before women even had their right to vote!!
  • Avon was the first company to ever start with an anti aging product. All companies followed suit & no other company knows the exact formulation which makes it different from their brands.
  • Avon is the first largest direct selling company of this world.
  • Reese Witherspoon is their global brand ambassador.
I had a second training a week after the first which was just a recap of my first one which lasted for 10 mins. Oh btw she again came to my place :) Now I have a third & final one 2 weeks from now.

All in all its being a great experience as of now. If you are wondering why I am doing it, it’s to gain experience since I’m a business student. All this stuff just excites me!!
Now that doesn’t mean I will stop buying other brands and only promote Avon. I’m still loyal to all the brands I sincerely love :)

But being a rep has its perks. I get free samples to show my clients, not for myself :P
As you know you can buy their products only browsing through brochures where pictures might not be accurate. Will you guys be interested in seeing swatches of various samples I have?

P.S. Also if you reside or know anyone in UAE, please let them know about me :)

Thanks for listening to my ramblings

Essence Nail Polish Remover (Strawberry-Vanilla) Review

Retweet this button on every post blogger
I’m a huge huge lover of anything strawberry scented so obviously I had to take this the moment I saw this!! Plus, I found this to be a pretty innovative concept since I haven’t really heard or seen any other flavored nail polish removers. In case you don’t know, Essence is a German drugstore beauty/makeup brand. I myself get to see few selected stuff from Essence once in a blue moon!!

Quantity: - 150ml
Price: - Retails at €1.49.
Flavors available:- Strawberry & Vanilla (Nail Hardening), Forest Berry & Vanilla (Nail Whitening) and Coconut & Vanilla (Nail Moisturizing)

What Essence says about this product?
Put a stop to weak, brittle nails: The pink nail polish remover is perfectly aligned to meet the special needs of stressed nails. The particularly gentle formula helps strengthen your nails and gives them a healthy, strong look. Thanks to the acetone-free ingredients, it is also suitable for synthetic nails. This wonderful product comes with a seductive strawberry-vanilla scent.

My Experience with the product:-
By now you know I got this because of the pink color, the pretty packaging & strawberries!! But I was extremely put off by the smell. I have loads of strawberry scented products & I assumed this would probably have the same scent which is why I didn’t try smelling it in the store but I was wrong. It has a strong smell of alcohol mixed with a badly mixed concoction of vanilla & strawberry. Moving on, it’s really hard to remove nail polish with this remover I guess maybe because it’s acetone free. This is the first time I'm using an acetone free polish remover. It gets dried up in the cotton pad so fast that by the time I put it on my nail all the cotton hair gets stuck on the nail that its really an annoying task to remove both the polish and the cotton hair from the nail.

But there is a positive point about this product. I think it works according to the nail hardening claims. I have pretty weak brittle nails which breaks superfast. Since the time I started using this (despite the stench & the annoying removing task), I have noticed my nails didn’t break at the superfast speed it normally does. I last used this around 20-25 days back and my first nail since then broke only 4 days back which according to me is a huge improvement!!

Verdict:-
I won’t purchase this product only because of the smell. Otherwise I find it a pretty good product. I would advise you to smell this in the store before purchasing.

Aromaleigh Eyeshadows Review, Swatches & Look

Retweet this button on every post blogger
Don't we all just love mineral cosmetics? I particular enjoy using mineral makeup as I tend to get less breakouts. I have a super dry skin with super oily t-zone which is like two extremes due to which very less skin products tend to suit me. Aromaleigh is one such mineral cosmetics company. It is a small independent woman-owned online company which sells loose mineral powder cosmetics and natural fragrances using the finest cosmetic grade pigments, natural ingredients and botanicals available.

So I got 5 sample pigments of different eyeshadows. Here’s the breakdown:-
Severina: - This color is my favorite of the lot. It’s a lovely vibrant shade of green like fresh grass. I love green eyeshadows!! This is an eye luster sample. It has a metallic pearl kind of finish with green-gold shimmer in it.

Cobalt: - It’s a pure hue sample. It’s a super vibrant blue e/s. True to its name. Just like severina, this too is kind of a pearl finish with silver-blue shimmer in it.

Moonagedaydream rocks! – This color is the most unique one from the lot. It’s a sonic eyes sample. It’s a dark green sea moss kind of color having more of blackish undertones with gold glitter. I think this color would be great to use during our mehendi functions J

Smokescreen – It is a pure hue sample. It is a dark smoke gray color with a slight shimmer to it. This is best for contouring/creasing. Will work great for smoky eyes!!

Lychee – It is an opulent luster sample. Described by Aromaleigh as’ Deeper rose-brown raisin shade that shines!’ honestly I couldn’t agree more. It is a must have. Really great and unique color.

Swatches don’t really do justice to how beautiful they look in real life. I haven’t swatched them using any primer of base. But you can still make out their amazing pigmentation by these swatches:-

Left to right:- Lychee, Cobalt, Smokescreen, Moonagedaydream rocks!, Severina

What I like about these eyeshadows?
*They have amazing pigmentation even better than Mac’s. I honestly don’t even like Mac e/s. I have used many and find other eyeshadows have better pigmentation.
*Blendable. They blend amazingly so one can easily tone down the shimmers and glitters to make it a more wearable look.
*The best part about the colors I got is that all of them can be used for one single look which is great. They also have great variety of colors. One can easily get samples before getting full sized pigments.

What I don’t like about these eyeshadows?
* I had a hard time using really due to the zip lock packet. I don’t really have empty jars at the moment so have to make do with these packets itself. I had to literally dip my brush inside to get a good amount of color.


What I used?
Concealer, foundation, powder & eye base.
Severina; - Inner ¼ corner on my eyelids and inner ¼ of the lashline.
Cobalt: - Middle ¼ of the eyelids and lashline.
Moonagedaydream rocks!:- Outer half of the lid and lashline
Smokescreen: - Used on the crease and blended with Moonagedaydream rocks!
Lychee: - for highlighting the brow mixed with my own highlighter.
Lakme’s eye artist on the upper lid & Rimmel mascara

My overall look:-

My Rating: - 4/5
I would definitely purchase full sized jars now to avoid the packet issues.

Disclaimer: - These samples were NOT sent to me by Aromaleigh nor did the company give me any sort of compensation to write a review. This review is based entirely on my own honest opinion.

Have you tried Aromaleigh products? If so please do recommend me some great ones :)

She did survive...

Retweet this button on every post blogger
I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere & endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles – Christopher Reeve. That’s exactly how I feel about my 5th grade hindi teacher. Her wide toothed smile, bright shining eyes and her big spiral curls cascading down her shoulders could brighten up anyone’s day. I can’t even imagine how she might be passing through the darkening days of her life. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. Going through her chemotherapy she started dressing up with a headscarf. I had an undesirable urge to ask her whether she was ashamed of being bald. Not knowing how to suppress it, I went ahead. She replied to me, ‘No, I am not, I would roam about bald if only people see me for what I am and not how I look.’ Despite her failing health condition, she used to come to school and teach everyday. At that time I thought she was crazy to do so. But now I realize it is because she found solace in teaching. Educating others would make her forget about her own worries. Her real life example has taught me that we should never lose hope and succumb to our conditions; instead we should fight it and surprise others by being an ultimate survivor. And yes she did survive..

NOTD - Breast Cancer Inspired

Retweet this button on every post blogger
I was inspired by Sharon's manicure & decided to give a try. I'm really bad with nail art as simple as polka dots too!! So somehow I was super happy that this turned out just fine :D and it stayed for 3 days yayy (not really an notd :P)

Lacquers used:- Arico in Pink (A brand from Etude)
Boutique in Brown (Italy brand)


Can you see that lovely little keychain in the background? I got that from Avon to support Breast Cancer. It is an iron keyring featuring one round plate(approx.diameter 3cm) with magenta crusade ribbon on one side and a flower shape plate(approx.diameter 2cm).
I got this for 15dhs (around $4.09). I request you all to show your support to any brand or organization that is contributing towards breast cancer research or in any other way to raise awareness about this issue. thank you :)

New Products from Avon

Retweet this button on every post blogger
I am a die hard Avon fan !! I have tried quite a lot of their products and have had mostly good experiences with them :)
I was just having a look at the latest Avon brochure given to me by my neighbour who happens to be an Avon representative.There are quite a lot of stuff which caught my eye and I thought to share them with you.

Ella Ballerina
This is a new range - Ella Ballerina introduced for kids/teenagers by Avon. I would say its quite a nice collection which includes Caranel Shine Lip Gloss, Starlight strawberry lip balm, Princess Perfect body lotion, Beautiful Ballerina Body Wash & Shining Star Shampoo. Its quite a nice range but I doubt it would work very well reason being mostly teenage girls (unlike ladies) won't really go searching for Avon representatives until its someone close they know whose selling it. Even though the pricing is great for teens,  they would rather prefer to purchase it directly from drugstores avoiding all the shipping and waiting issues.

Avon Glimmerstick Diamonds Eyeliner
I'm sure you must have heard of Avon Glimmerstick eyeliners.If you haven't let me tell you they are great !!! Now even though the original ones are called glimmersticks they don't really have much shine to them. This on the other hand claims to have more glimmers than the original ones hence its called Glimmerstick Diamonds. Colors available are:- Emerald Glow, Black Ice & Sugar Plum. As you can see there is a great offer of buy 2 & get 1 free going on. I'm actually getting tempted to get it !!

Avon Color Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel
You must have heard all the rave about Avon's Nailwear Pro nail enamel. This Speed Dry+ nail enamel claims to dry in less than 30 seconds.It is also specially designed brush delivers just the right amount of formula, so there's no mess and no fuss. Sounds great right?
 Plus they have different colors compared to Nailwear Pro. Another reason to try out !!

Avon's Velvet Cream Eyeshadow
Seeing all the different colors on the eyes, I'm getting super tempted to buy this plus I don't really own a cream eyeshadow. I guess this one would be good to start out. I just don't trust the colors shown :(

Arabian Glow Sweep Cheeks in Roasted Nugget
I have been wanting to try this for quite sometime just wasn't sure since I haven't seen a single review about this product and I am just too skeptical to pay 79 bucks and not find a great difference !! So if you purchase it or know how it looks do let me know.
P.S. don't the bronzing pearls look super tempting too :P

Color Trend Eyeshadow Palettes 
I like the look of Tempting Twilight more than Pastel Passion just because of that green. It's such a pretty light greenish color. I haven't come across a similar shade anywhere else. but again I don't trust the pics :(

Outspoken by Fergie
I love, love, love Fergie & the BEP itself for that matter. I can never get enough of their music!!
 Outspoken by Fergie is scented with frosted berries, tuberose and sexy black leather. I have heard amazing reviews about its EDP. It's like the fragrance of 2010!!
So guys what's tempting you to buy? Have you indulged in any Avon products lately? I'm looking for some good reccomendations :)

I previously had a pink silicon case but I needed a change in my entire look so when I saw this I was like Wow! I need to get this. My friend got a black one with a purple butterfly on it. This one looks pretty smart & stylish when I use it though its looking too gaudy in the pics !

Charms Keychain
Bought from Lifestyle

 I loved the hearts & the dress charm a lot so I had to get it :P I think I will use it on my bag. What say?

Flip Flops

I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it. I love eagles !! Acco
rding to me, they are a symbol of 'Rebellious Nature' & that's how I am in real life :P Also the word Bad attracted me to them ;) Plus isn't it great how they incorporate an eagle perfectly in pink color flip flops.

 I am planning to get Clinique's Long Last Glossswear Pink as £2 from each sale goes to Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s study at the UK Institute of Cancer Research.

Etude Haul

Retweet this button on every post blogger

I had to shop for my friend's birthday gift so thought of splurging on some stuff myself too :P In case you haven't heard of Etude, it is an awesome singaporean beauty brand!! & you know what the best part is it's located right behind my house!! look at the wonderful goodies I got :D


I usually don't get the cash to spend so much at once on makeup but friend's birthday excuse saved me :P
You can see the big black pouch thingy? That is a set of makeup brushes which I got for the friend. I own the same one & will do a detailed review on that laters. Also the small black e/s is for her. It's called etude star e/s in #17. It's one of the most pigmented matte black's with glitter.

Doesn't this e/s look lovely ?? I am sorry I can't swatch it because it's for my friend but I guess you can make out the lovely shade. It's a pearly very very light peach but pretty much pigmented. The best part is its container!! It's so cute plus you can easily take it out using that finger holding thingy and once inside it has a secure clasp which is great.

These I got for me. The eyelashes are quite similar to what jennifer had posted for a giveaway. I just realized its available here too but very less variety to choose from. The silver thingy are nail rhinestones in star shapes. There were 3 shapes:- triangles, stars & paisley available. 


The lip gloss is again for friend. It's a lovely coral orange glitter gloss which looks lovely. It's a fruity tube. you get those bottle glosses too but I didn't find the wands of those glosses good so took this one as a safer option. Also got a sample etude foundation for free :D I just hope the guy gave it according to my shade. I wasn't allowed to test it since it was complimentary.

What you think of my purchases? Do you use any Etude products? Do recommend me some great etude products :)

Mac Vs. Inglot Nail Polishes/Lacquers (Test)

Retweet this button on every post blogger
Most of us are skeptical to buy high brand polishes. But quality matters to me more than anything. I never get the desired results with most of the drugstore brands out there.These polishes are definitely on the higher side price wise but believe me they are worth all of it !!
So I took a 7 day test using these nail paints of Mac & Inglot on both my hands simultaneously to see the which one lasts longer and does not chip.

Nail Paints chosen:- Mac's Phosphor which is from the Neo Sci Fi collection of 2008 and Inglot's 946.
I know both the colors are totally different plus the finish is also different. Mac's Phosphor has a frost finish to it whereas Inglot's 946 has a creme finish. I was told by the Mac MUA's that they use pretty much the same formulation in their polishes even now so quality wise it wouldn't make a great deal of a difference.

I know you would be wondering why chosing such bright colors this fall, the reason is there is no fall where i stay. I know weird but its only summers for 10 months!! (sucks right?) & winters for 2 months barely. So right now its still summer bang on in dxb!! anyways to be fair to both the polishes i painted them on alternate fingers of both my hands. Since i'm right handed I do 99% of my work with right hand only therefore i knew it won't stay for long on the nails of my right hand.

On my left hand:- Base coat, 1 coat of the nail polishes each & a top coat
On my right hand:- Base coat, 2 coats of polishes & a top coat

I found the mac's brush really uncomfortable to hold because of the thick small cap holding & apply specially since I cannot apply polishes perfectly using my left hand on my right hand nails. plus the brush bristles would get seperated quite easily which was definitely an annoyance. On the other hand, Inglot brush was easier to hold & use because the long and thin cap holding as you can see in the pics below. plus the brush bristles were really dense and did not get seperated easily at all. Inglot +1
My first chip took place on the 3rd day that too on the thumbnail of my right hand. It was the inglot polished nail. I actually did expect the inglot polish to chip first since its consistency is pretty thin compared to mac's polish. I have tried Mac's creme polishes as well and they definitely have a thick consistency that you would really not require to put another coat of polish. I noticed by the end of my 7-day test Inglot chipped much much more compared to Mac. MAC +1

Moving to price, Phospor came for Dhs 50 which is around $14 whereas Inglot came for Dhs. 35 (this is their standard price for all polishes) which is around $9.5. Plus The quanity of the Inglot polish is 15 ml whereas the Mac polish is 10 ml. Inglot +1


  Inglot definitely wins according to me. but Mac is great as well. In short i would recommend polishes of these brands to people who actually wear polishes once in a while so they def wouldn't want polishes to chip so easily plus some colors are so great you would not be able to find exact dupes of those colors anywhere !!

Have you tried polishes of these brands? Do you prefer them over you drugstore polishes?

Do you want to feel So....? Desirable

Retweet this button on every post blogger
Then yes this product is for you !!!
It smells exactly like Salvatore Ferragamo's Incanto Charms. This perfume is a part of the So fragrances. Their fragrances include So..? Kiss Me, So...? Wild, So...? Desirable & So..? Sinful.

About the perfume:-
I got it in 20 ml for Dhs 39 (around $11). So…? desirable is composed of musk, freesia, magnolia, apple and mandarin. It is available as 20, 50 and 100 ml EDT and 75 ml body fragrance.

My take:-
I'm not fond of perfumes much but this one has made me fall in love with it <3
I basically wanted a fruity/floral scent for daily use, something not too overpowering yet something which would have a feminine-funky touch to it, something that would define my style & this does an awesome job in it!!
When sprayed at first its quite strong, however it becomes lighter just after a few mins which makes it perfect for a day wear however it's perfect for night wear as well if sprayed more. It stays on me for quite some time. I find the packaging also very cute & girlish with the hot pink cap. Obviously the pink packaging attracted me :P Plus the bottle is so small i carry it with me in my bag everyday.

Conclusion:- Because of its price & girlish scent i would mainly recommend it to teenage girls/ young ladies (on a low budget) as this is one hell of an affordable scent !!

Have you tried any of these So...? perfumes? Are others worth trying like this one? or should I just pass them?

**Disclaimer:- This is my honest opinion. I haven't received this product for free or received any compensation from the company to write about it. This product was bought by my very own hard earned money.
