Oriflame Protecting Neem Clay Mask | Review

Image
Hello everyone! Being a skincare and cosmetic consultant at Oriflame for over two years now has been a wonderful journey so far. Attending seminars, meetings, makeup sessions and co operations from fellow members has helped nurture me through every sphere and has taught me the basics and depth of skincare and makeup, in this short span of time. Recently, I have bought the Protecting Neem Clay Mask from Oriflame's Love Nature range of cosmetics. Oriflame has a wide range of skincare products meant for all types of skin. Choosing products, therefore, has become much more easier for a newbee consulting the catalogue for the first time, to effectively choose and make full use of the product. This clay mask is one such product where one can find traces of neem and clay. Oriflame claims to use natural ingredients in all their products to make their customers make the most of its usage. Post application of the clay mask, the skin feels cold and so much moisturised that I did not feel th...

Season of Brights & Corals.

Image
Hello everyone ! It has been long since I have posted anything on the blog but I have been enjoying a lot in this auspicious festive month. I hope you all have had a great Pujo! As we all know, Dusshera has just ended and Navratri has been full of endless enjoyment, good food and drinks. I have been active on all my social media handles because I wanted to share pictures with all of you. And festive pictures meant lots of makeup, new clothes and 'Bhog'. I recently bought The ONE Colour Stylist Lipliner from Oriflame in the shade 'Coral Ideal'. The shade isn't really orangish or tangerine but it is a mild salmon color that instantly brightens up the face after application. I am not a huge fan of orange toned lipsticks but I couldn't just let it go. I have already been loving the other shades and I wanted to try this too. Do not mess this up with a lipstick because this product is a lipliner but I have been using it as a filler in the pictures as you will view t...

The Story Of My Lux Life

Image
I recollect memories of getting high and much high on Lux products and their attractive commercials when I was young and all I wanted was a big bath tub just like those models, with roses and lavenders floating and I, enjoying a 3-hour shower, all alone in that room enjoying the fragrance around me !! Sadly, that was just a commercial. And I, am not a model. Haha! Ever since I have started understanding scents and shower gels, texture and consistency, french roses and orchids, I have been in love with Lux and their wide range of beauty soap bars, bath additives and hair care products, that they specialise in. Today, ruling the world with their magic of fragrances for over 8 decades in countries like India, Pakistan, Brazil, Thailand (to name a few) and Singapore, being its headquarter, it has emerged as the highly demanding bath additive brand in the Indian market now. Isn't that amazing? And why shouldn't they? Lux has always been so consistent with their range of product...

Playing With Smokeys & Bold Lips.

Image
Hello my lovelies!😘 I am so sorry that I haven't posted anything for so long and I had to keep you all waited for my new blogpost but yeah, I wanted to post something different which isn't an everyday makeup look that you see here. I know heavy smokeys and bold lips are really tough to deal with but carrying them with ease is what the key really is, I believe! Coming back to this look : I will list down the products below that I have used but before that, I would like to explain the technique first, which is the most important thing to follow. ☺ Process : Priming the face first gives one an even skin tone and makes the skin ready for the base makeup. This is followed by the foundation which I do not use it often unless it is a heavy party look as shown here. I use a sponge to blend that onto my skin and pat where required. Next is the concealer. I have concealed my under eyes and the required areas that needed concealing. Next is the setting of the base makeup. I have set ...
