L'OREAL BaseMagique- A Real Transformation from dull look to a ravishing one!!


Wearing makeup is something challenging when you are supposed to wear it for long hours like attending a wedding or a party. During occasions like these, you need to stay fresh and lively throughout and should never let others feel that your skin has become tired.

Helping your makeup last longer is not a difficult task when you have the right primer. L'OREAL BaseMagique is the primer to be discussed in this post.



As the label says, it surely is a transforming primer with a soothing effect. I have been using this primer for four months and have found it really great for my skin.

The label description on the box says it helps to "Transform your bare skin texture:
The 1st soothing primer that makes your lines and pores invisible and touchable smoothness." The cream has silicon oils and light powders. These help in creating, as per the manufacturers, a smooth effect just like velvet. To an extent this is true, as I have found the cream blend perfectly to the skin tempting me to touch it more than once because of the smooth effect it gives on the skin.
It has a rosy tinge that goes perfect with any skin shade. The cream is both thick and light. It covers the pores and we get to see a perfect skin tone.

It is a perfect base for your makeup and if you want a no makeup look, simply apply this cream without any other makeup. You simply will look gorgeous. 


I have bought this from an online store at Rs 950. BaseMagique comes in a cute little jar which is securely packed inside the box.





The cream is thick and it spreads evenly on the skin and stays for a longer time. Applying on the face seems a real easy task as it simply blends well and the smooth effect that we get is really awesome. I love that smooth effect on my skin. I have oily skin and usually find creams very irritating. But this one is simply the best. 

Pros
  • Gives a smooth and soft effect on the skin
  • Does not give you that "Madeup Look"
  • Does not have any bad smell
  • Blends well and is light
  • Covers up fine lines
  • Helps your makeup stay for longer hour
Cons
  • No cons here for I really love the product a lot ;)

Dabur Almond Hair Oil - For Soft Hair With Healthy Roots



Giving your hair the perfect care is possible when you switch on to Almond oil. I used coconut oil right from my childhood, and its greasiness has irritated me a lot. But its goodness was the one reason why I stuck on to it for years.  

Managing a frizzy hair is much of a difficult task. You need to give the right nourishment, moisture and care to your hair and prevent it from dryness. If you tend to make it dry, your hair will end up in split ends. I chose to pick Dabur Almond Hair Oil for my hair since it was frizzy and not manageable, and I did want to get rid of the greasiness that my regular coconut oil gave to my hair.

Dabur Almond Hair Oil was gave me an out of the world experience for my hair. It became soft, manageable and  I was so happy as I did not experience any hair fall problems which was usually found as soon as there was a switch on to a new oil. Mild lovely fragrance and free flowing oil was a totally new experience for me. To be frank, I really loved it a lot.




Dabur Almond Hair Oil comes in a thick glass bottle, with a plastic flip open lid. I find both these features a bit disturbing. The glass bottle if not taken good care, can easily break and the lid if not closed properly might spill the oil. You get only the right amount of oil when you tend to pour the oil out, as it comes out in droplets. Thus you can save your precious oil for future.




The oil has a runny consistency and it is very easy to apply on the hair due to this factor. Applying the oil overnight can strengthen your hair and allow it to absorb all its goodness. You can wash it off when you take a bath in the morning. The mild fragrance too is very tempting.

Nature's Essence Aloevera Gel- Moisturising Beauty Gel with Aloe Vera & Peppermint Oil


Aloe vera is a must have medicinal plant in our gardens. Aloe Vera, with its list of benefits on its credit, is still a favorite among all of us.
Uses of this wonder plant ranges from skin care to hair care and from cleansing your mouth as a mountwash to decorating your interior.
If you are in search of a perfect aloe vera gel that suits any skin type from dry to oily, then it is not  practical to rush all the time to your backyard to cut an aloe vera leaf. Instead, you can rely upon a branded aloe vera gel that can give your skin the kind of treat the plant offers you.
I was glad that I chose Nature's Aloevera Gel, for it was just the perfect moisturizer that i was longing for. Usually the oily kind of moisturizers do not suit me for I have oily skin and I do hate that oiliness appearing over the face. Well this one was a perfect choice, since it gave me a matte effect apart from moisturizing my skin to the core.




The pack is extremly plain and simple with the green color peeping out to tempt you catch hold of it. But believe me, you will really love the cool soothing effect on your skin on applying this green gel. It does soothes itchy skin temporarily with its peppermint effect.




I found the silver seal a bit messy to open and the whole stuff was loaded with gel. The pack should henceforth be changed to a tube with a large mouth rather that letting us dip our fingers into the bottle.


The gel does appear green through the bottle, but in real it is transparent.
PS:
Care should be taken by teenagers and those with sensitive skin before using the product. Make sure you do a patch test before using it on your skin, especially your face.

What the company label promises (As in the Label)
"Aloe Vera is a world renowed plant for its cosmetic and medicinal miracle properties. Nature's Essence Aloe Vera uses the goodness of this miracle plant from its natural source along with modern manufacturing processes to offer you a treatment moisturizing gel ideal for softening the skin, protecting it from sun damage and acting as a guard and immunizing agent against skin ailments like dry skin, acne & itchy skin conditions. The gel is an ideal solution for gifting you soft, glowing and pampered skin."

"Usage: Apply the gel after cleansing your face and massage the gel softly into the skin for softening & protecting it against environmental pollutants. Ideal to be used everyday."

Key Ingredients: Aloe Vera extracts & Peppermint oil, Demineralised water

Price : For 150 g - Rs 95.00

Though the label claims sun protection, I guess you need to apply a sun screen lotion on top of your moisturizer gel before leaving indoors.

Pros

  • Gives the skin a perfect moisturization without any greasy look
  • Blends right into the skin and makes your skin soft
  • Is suitable for dry, normal or oily skin
  • Can be applied on itchy skin 
  • Can be applied after threading or waxing
  • Catchy green shade


Cons

  • A bit sticky while applying, though the stickiness disappears when the gel is absorbed to the skin
  • Does have a pleasant fragrance, but you get a natural aloe vera scent
