OVERALL VERDICT

This is a nice lip gloss from lotus herbals. I liked it's pigmentation and the coverage which it provided to my lips. It is very non-sticky and light in texture as you will not feel that you are wearing something on lips, the applicator is very convenient it glides smoothly on my lips giving it a nice coverage and it is moisturizing too. I wore it without my lip balm and didn't needed a lip balm to apply as it was so moisturizing and it hardly stays up for 2-3 hours and than fades off leaving a nice coral or peach kind of tint which I like. 

The things which I don't like that it has lots of shimmer in it as you can see that in the swatch and it  bleeds and gets transferred easily which is a con for me otherwise I don't have any issues with this gloss and it is available at an amazing price, you just have to pay Rs.245 for this gloss it is not at all expensive.

RECOMMENDATION :- Yes, I will definitely recommend it.

Will i repurchase it? :- No , just because of high content of shimmer in it, I am not going to buy this again.

RATING :- 4/5

Baking Soda

Baking soda is a good cleanser for removing dead cells . that's why whenever you use cleanser at night just mix 1 tsp of baking soda and massage it with light hands.. If you have oily skin than mix 1 tsp of baking soda with 1 tsp of fine oatmeal and make a paste with warm water and massage it on face and neck. Each and every dead cell will be removed by doing this.

Rush happening during all the day long affects the legs and feet the most and makes t vulnerable. Baking soda will help in regaining the beauty back. Just fill a tub with 4 liters of warm water and  put half cup baking soda into it. Put you legs and feet in the water for half an hour and than after pat-drying apply some good moisturizer. It will thoroughly cleanse your feet and will make it soft and supple.

Hello Everyone!
Today, I am going to review Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in shade Bad to Bronze. When I saw this shade I instantly wanted to buy it as the soft bronze color really attracted me. they have many shade available. Check out other shades in this range HERE

- It is very creamy and smooth in texture

- Doesn't dry instantly

- It has non-gritty shimmer which I like

- Good quality

- Very affordable

- variety of shades available

Dislikes :-

- Staying power definitely not live up to the claims

- One swipe is not enough, you need to have 2 to 3 swipes for a nice color

- No applicator provided

swatches

                         

                                                         OVERALL VERDICT

I like the pretty colors they have in their range. the shadow is very creamy and smooth in texture I like the way it glides on my eyelids but if you want a nice coverage than you have to build it with 2 to 3 swipes as shown in the above swatches. It doesn't dries instantly and gives some time to blend it well on the eyelids and has a very non-gritty shimmer. The company claims that it's staying power is upto 24 hours but it doesn't even live up to 5 hours. Within 2 to 3 hours , a little bit of creasing can be seen on the side of eyelids otherwise it is a nice product from Maybelline. The price is also very nice and affordable.

RECOMMENDATION :- Yes, I will definitely recommend it to everyone.

Will I repurchase it ? :- Yes, I would like to try other shades from this range too.

RATING :- 3.5/5

It has so many anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties  A wonderful home remedy for anyone suffering from cough and cold. Just mix cane brown sugar, honey and raw onion juice to make a cough syrup you can increase or decrease the amount of cane brown sugae but the proportion of red onion and honey should be equal.

This is a really natural and effective cure for cough and colds.
