Review of Maybelline New York Fit me Loose Finishing Powder

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to review Maybelline New York Fit me Loose Finishing Powder. This is a new launch from Maybelline and it is currently available in all online and Maybelline stores. I picked up shade 20.

PRICE:- Rs. 695/- and you will get 20gm of products.
AVAILABILITY:-  Nykaa or Amazon.

PACKAGING:-

Maybelline New York Fit me Loose Finishing Powder comes in a square kind off the tub. The lid is square and so I find it little difficult to open and close the lid as due to the shape it sometimes stuck. But packaging-wise I find it is pretty similar with a few international brands. It has no sponge in it so one had to carry an additional puff or sponge to apply this powder.

 MY EXPERIENCE:-

Maybelline New York Fit me Loose Finishing Powder launched in 4 shades only in India. So although it has so many shades we had to choose from only 4 shades. The powder claim to be mineral-powder which controls all the shine and create a smooth texture with a bit of color. The powder is very soft and finely milled one. It gives a medium coverage and a smooth finish. It easily blends on my skin giving a perfect matte look. It blurs out the texture of my skin too. The shade 20 has a decent yellow undertone that matches with my warm skin tone and brightens up my face. Now this powder is good for people who have oily skin as I feel it might not suit dry skin beauties. The powder keeps my skin matte for 4 -5 hours. It actually makes my makeup long-lasting.

Overall I am liking this powder a lot nowadays and I feel it work exactly as other loose setting powders work on my skin. There is definitely something good in this powder but nothing to be over hyped. 

So that's all for today. See you in my next post.

My experience:-

Both the conditioner are white in color. They are creamy in texture. They have floral fragnance in it. PATANJALI KESH KANTI HAIR CONDITIONER-ALMOND is suits me more than PATANJALI KESH KANTI HAIR CONDITIONER DAMAGE CONTROL one.

The almond conditioner smoothens my hair pretty well, along with that it makes my hair silky smooth which remain silky until next wash(till 2 days). It totally stands out what it claims. The conditioner is perfect for normal to dry hair.

But the damage control conditioner didn't suits me well and that's why everytime I use it I need an additional hair serum to smoothen my dry frizzy hair. The conditioner is perfect for hair which is damaged by chemical treatment. As my hair is far from chemical treatment from past 5 years so I guess it didn't suit me well.

Overall I love the almond conditioner more than the damage one. And yes I am going to buy a backup of almond one for my daily use.

My experience:-

The oil comes in a transparent packaging and one can see how clear the oil is. The oil comes in a plastic bottle with a pressed plastic lid on the mouth which prevents spillage of any oil.

This coconut oil simply reminds me of my childhood days, when oiling my hair was so much fun and was a daily routine for me. Slowly with a busy schedule and changed lifestyle oiling of hair gone missing in my lifestyle. But with Shesha Naturals Extra Virgin Coconut Oil I am going back to my old days of oiling my hair. The oil is light in texture. And it is very clear one. The oil moisturized my hair pretty well. I use it as an overnight oil treatment twice a week and for hot treatment once in a week. On another day I use few drops of this oil as a serum on my hair ends whenever I wash my hair.

Overall finally I found my hg coconut oil and I am going to stick to this oil definitely. So, if you are looking for coconut oil then I would love to suggest you this oil to try out.

The oil is edible one and can be used for skin or on babies for massaging purpose. I myself use it only for my hair so I can't say anything related to another claim of this oil. But as this one is a natural product so definitely you can try out this oil in a different way as it is suggested.



P.S. As the oil is a natural product so it might take time to show it's effect on chemically treated hair. I was using this oil from past one months after which it started to show its results on my hair. But again as this is a hair care product so it might show different results on different people. I shared my personal experience with these products.

And finally here is my hair just dried normally after a hot oil treatment with this oil.

 
So, that's all for today, I will catch you in my next post pretty soon.

Today I am going to talk about ALEXIS REN X COLOURPOP TOPAZ PRESSED POWDER FACE DUO.

The palette has been launched long back but as I was too busy in juggling between blog and youtube channel of mine I miss it. So today when my laptop disk is almost full and I just sit back to delete my old files I found the pictures of this palette.

Price:- $15.00 (now in discount $14.00).
Net Weight: 10 g / 0.35 oz.
Available: COLOURPOP website here

A little more information regarding the palette:-

You're new go-to for an instant sun-kissed look. This formula contains super velvety-soft powders which provide a natural tanned glow. It also contains spherical light-diffusing powders which roll over the skin and allow for even application, smooth blending, and prevents a dry or "cakey" look.

Application tips:-
Apply Highlighter to the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, above cupid's bow, under and/or above brows. Use a variety of sized brushes depending on where you are applying the highlighter. Recommended for all skin types.

Pressed Powder Bronzer can be used to add dimension, color, and contour. Build to desired intensity using your favorite powder brush. Recommended for all skin types.
The ALEXIS REN palette consists of two shades:-

She's Here to Stay: pearlized highlighter; a true gold
Golden Moment: matte bronzer; a warm bronze.

Packaging:-
The ALEXIS REN X COLOURPOP TOPAZ PRESSED POWDER FACE DUO comes in a black cardboard box with a magnetic closure. The palette is sleek in packaging and so it is travel-friendly too. It comes up with a mirror only and no application brush.

My experience:-

ALEXIS REN X COLOURPOP TOPAZ PRESSED POWDER FACE DUO comes up with a bronzer and highlighter. The size of both bronzer and highlighter are 10gm each for which it will last forever I guess (lol).
The texture of both highlighter and bronzer are buttery. When I swatch it with a finger I could feel the smooth milled texture of the powder. Both are easily blendable and stays pretty 5 hours on my skin during summers.The palette is just perfect for fair to medium skin tone beauties as I doubt that it will hardly show up on dusky skin beauties.
I personally use the bronzer to contour my cheek and forehead area only as it is slightly orangey on my skin(I am NC 30 in Mac) so I avoid applying it on the bridge of my nose.

Final verdict:-
 
If you are looking for a good bronzer and highlighter duo then definitely you should check out this palette.

I have applied this palette for contouring and highlighting in many of my tutorials so you can check out my tutorials on my YouTube channel.

That's all for today. I will catch you in my next post.

Until then ...

REVIEW OF KAYA AQUALIGHT ULTRAGEL SUNSCREEN SPF 25

Sunscreen is an important part of our life nowadays. It is very important to use a proper sunscreen according to skin type.

Recently I got a sunscreen all from Kaya brand. It is named as "Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Sunscreen SPF 25 ". The sunscreen was sent by the brand for testing purpose.

Price: - Rs.590/- for 50ml.
Availability:- Nykaa.com

Little more info about the sunscreen:-

A broad spectrum sunscreen specially designed for oily/acne prone skin to provide superior sun protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.Introducing the new Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Sunscreen with SPF 25 that does not clog pores, thereby reducing the possibility of acne breakouts and also protects the skin against the onslaught of environmental damage. This gel based, the fragrance-free formula gives a cooling sensation with a weightless, matte finish.

Key Features:

•     Gel Base
•     Fragrance Free
•     Specially Formulated For Oily/ Acne Prone Skin
•     Does Not Clog Pores
•     Prevents further acne breakouts
•     SPF 25
•     Pa ++++
•     4 Star Boots Rating
•     Protects Skin Against Harmful UVA & UVB Rays
•     Protects Skin Against Onslaught Of Environmental Damage
•     Weightless, Matte Finish
•     PABA Free formulation

Ingredients

Aqua, Octocrylene, Isododecane (and) Dimethicone / Bis Isobutyl PPG 20 Crosspolymer, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Triethanolamine, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Carbomer, Gamma Polyglutamic Acid, Niacinamide, Geranium robertianum extract, Methylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Propylparaben, CI 15510.

How to use product

    Apply generously over face, neck & other exposed areas during the day, 20 minutes before sun exposure.
    Re-apply in a case of prolonged sun exposure or excessive sweating.

Packaging:-

The sunscreen comes in a small tube with flip cap opening. One had to squeeze the tube to take out the product. The tube is cute and small and it can easily carry in small purse while traveling.

My first thought:-


There is 50 ml of product which is actually very less in amount compared to the price we are paying. But it requires so less (like one drop for the whole face) that it will last at least one and month or more. So, definitely worth the money.

My experience:-


Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Sunscreen SPF 25 is a sunscreen which is very light weight in texture. The sunscreen absorbs easily on my oily skin giving a matte effect. It is basically a gel based creme which is just perfect for all skin type (unless you have extremely dry skin in summer). I never tried out any Kaya products before so this is the first time that I am using any product from this brand. I am really impressed with the sunscreen as it is fragrance-free so perfect for my sensitive nose. Secondly, being an oily skin person I always break out whenever I try anything new on my face but this one suits me really well. It doesn't break me out even after using it for past three weeks. Thirdly, there is few sunscreen which oxidizes (yes you heard right...!!!) on my skin very badly and gives a tan look after some time of application but this one never oxidizes and never makes me tan even after 3 hours under the sun. The sunscreen goes pretty well in this sweaty monsoon summers.

Overall I am in love with the sunscreen and I am definitely going to re-purchase it again once I end up this one.

That's all for today.
Love Sammy :*
