Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips Review

So I am a bit late in wishing a Happy New Year to my bloggies * random term just popped up in my mind right now to refer you, my blog friends...yes I am a crackhead! *. Nonetheless, hope you all have a great and fulfilling year! I hope to have one too. And just before I vanish again from B.B.B, here is a quick review on the latest entrant to my lipbalm stash, Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips!

PRICE:  ₹109

QUANTITY: 4g

INGREDIENTS:

WHAT IT CLAIMS: With Rosy Oils and Sweet Almonds, give a gorgeous, soft and rosy glow to your lips with a touch of moisture.

MY EXPERIENCE: Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips comes in a hygienic twist up packaging which is not flimsy at all and the stick doesn't look like it would fall off under stress or won't go back in if you twist up more than required. The stick is not waxy, and wouldn't melt or get hardened with temperature changes. It has a faint smell, though artificial but still nice to wear.It hydrates and soothes chapped lips but I felt it doesn't sink in your lips to moisturise from within. So it protects your lips from harsh dry wind but won't give that soft suppleness if your lips are already dry. But good thing is it stays quite long on lips. Bonus point, it has got SPF 15, so the bad sun won't make your lips any darker.     

Only gripe, though the name says Rosy Lips, there is absolutely no tint and doesn't give any color on your lips, which one the other hand makes it a good base for your lipsticks. Priced reasonably, this one wouldn't pinch your pocket much. On the go, 

WHAT I LIKED: 

• Hydrates and soothes chapped lips very well.
• Stays for a long time on lips compared to other balms.
• Hygienic, non-flimsy packaging.
• Added SPF 15.
• No OTT fragrance.
• Priced economically.
  

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• No rosy tint whatsoever.
• Doesn't moisturise lips from within IMO.
  

VERDICT: Lipbalms are a must this winter and this would fit in nicely in your stash and purse and give you your lips the necessary comfort. Let me know if you have tries it!

RATINGS:  4.25 out of 5

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquers - Shade Choco Sin and Bold Gold Review

After a price hike of Maybelline Colorama nail polishes, beauties on a budget were looking for alternatives. But guess what Maybelline launched the much awaited 'Color Show' collection just at the precise time. Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquers are new additions to the Indian beauty market and they have already created a buzz all over, what with super affordable prices and 40 gorgeous shades to choose from. 

Choco Sin

 

Bold Gold

PRICE:  ₹75

QUANTITY: 6ml

SWATCH: 

MY EXPERIENCE: As you can see from the swatch above, Choco Sin is a perfect chocolaty brown, that goes opaque in 2 coats giving a nice semi-matte (rubbery) finish, whereas, Bold Gold is a metallic gold shade with micro shimmers that goes opaque in single coat with a shiny foil like finish. The brushes provided are of good quality and doesn't get frayed.  Both the shades apply smooth and semi-dries pretty fast but what I didn't like is that it gets finger imprints even after hours. Coming to the staying power, it lasted on my right hand (that faces more torture) 3 days without any chipping, while on the left hand didn't chip at all even after 5 days, after which I removed it. Comes in cutesy small bottles, the quantity, quality and the price just make it apt for all nail paint lovers. 

WHAT I LIKED:

• The consistency and texture of the polishes are nice and doesn't streak. 
• Semi-dries pretty fast.
• Lasts 3-5 days easily, without any chipping (depending on how much torture your hands face)
• Super-duper affordable.
• Available in 40 gorgeous shades.
• The quantity provided would last a few applications and then you can re-buy, in that way saving up on dried up polishes. 

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• Finger imprints even after hours of application.
• Why doesn't Maybelline launch the LE shades (esp. the glitters/sequins/polka dots) here too?! We are thirsting for them...Do ya' hear?! :(

VERDICT: I hope and pray Maybelline launches those LE collections here too and I have a feeling that they would go OOS even before they reach the stores :P. As of now, I am liking quite a few others from the 40 shades available and the Bold Gold seems good enough to try some stamping designs. Whatsay?

Have you tried any of the shades?

PR Info: AVON Clinical Pro Line Corrector

The Breakthrough: ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector with A-F33, an industry first molecule exclusively available through Avon*, fights wrinkles delivering breakthrough results, creating a new gold standard in anti-aging.

The Backstory: Since its founding two decades ago, Avon ANEW has consistently introduced transformative and highly-effective anti-aging skincare breakthroughs, beginning with the introduction of the first mass market product with Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHAs) Technology in 1992. Twenty years later, the brand continues to pioneer anti-aging skincare through an alliance with NeoStrata Company, a global leader in topical anti-aging technologies. In collaboration with this skincare authority, Avon is bringing a powerful new molecule to the market that even dermatologists do not yet have: A-F33, a newly discovered anti-aging molecule that promises to revolutionize the skincare landscape.

The Technology: Inspired by Nobel Prize-winning research that looked at blocking mechanisms of protein production, ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector leverages the power of A-F33 Aminofill, an innovative molecule that has been found in testing on skin cells to work in a way that other well-known anti-aging ingredients like glycolic acid, retinol, and CoQ10 don’t by deactivating critical collagen blocking in skin cells to help unleash untapped collagen. A-F33 is formulated to help stimulate skin cells to produce skin matrix components.  ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector helps begin to reduce the look of deep and fine wrinkles in just seven days.

From The Experts: Dr. Cheryl Karcher, Board Certified Dermatologist and Professional Consultant for Avon: “ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector with A-F33 is so truly exciting to me because of what it could mean to the future of anti-aging skincare. Deep wrinkles start to be addressed in the first week of use which is quite impressive for a topical anti-ager. The visual results of this product are impressive.”

Anthony Gonzalez, Senior Skincare Manager, Avon Research & Development: “Avon introduces ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector formulated with A-F33 to take a multi-faceted approach to boosting collagen. This revolution in wrinkle fighting stands to be as game changing as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and Retinol were in the 1990s.”

Barbara Green, RPh, MS, Vice President Clinical Affairs and Technology, NeoStrata Company Inc.: “We were excited to partner with Avon to bring this advanced compound to market and deliver a groundbreaking transformation to the anti-aging world.  Through our collaboration with Avon scientists, we discovered the benefits of the A-F33 molecule and we are thrilled about the effects this discovery has on skin and what this compound could mean for the future of the anti-aging industry altogether.”

The Results:

• Fine lines and deep wrinkles begin to look reduced in just seven days**
• Over time, 100% of women showed a reduction in fine lines**
• Produces up to 50% improvement in overall fine lines and deep wrinkles in 11 weeks**
• Faster and better than a leading dermatologist-inspired wrinkle treatment**
• 5 out of 10 women considering a cosmetic procedure who tried ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector said the serum improved their skin so much they decided to postpone the procedure ***

PRICE: MRP 1,799

AVAILABLE: September 2013
