PRODUCT REVIEW: CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE 39 PRECIOUS

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

CHANEL returns to a timeless feminine beauty step with ROUGE ALLURE, which innovates, surprises and reinvents lipstick. Ultra-feminine and subtly provocative in the way it clicks open and closed, the new ROUGE ALLURE beauty step is a trigger of charm. Its black lacquered case opens with one click to reveal a sensual lipstick trimmed in gold for perfect application.
Its supple, ultra-fine second-skin texture glides smoothly over the lips for a satiny and perfectly luminous makeup result. Shea butter combined with a canola oil derivative provides softness and comfort.
The vibrant and dazzling shades in the ROUGE ALLURE range offer intense colour in just one stroke for an incredibly seductive smile.

The lipstick is creamy and has a great packaging.It has purple undertone, is moisturising but very expensive though!

DR. PERRY'S NATURAL BLOCK SUNSCREEN REVIEW

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

It contains FDA approved sunscreen ingredient Zinc Oxide which does not get absorbed into the skin. The importance of this cannot be overemphasized.In addition, they won't irritate your skin or clog your pores. Unlike so many ordinary sunscreens that may allow ultraviolet light to penetrate, Natural Block 100% Mineral Sunscreen is formulated to reflect the sun’s rays. It protects against UVB rays, the rays that burn your skin; and UVA rays, the rays that penetrate more deeply and damage your DNA. Plus, Natural Block is fortified with Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant to help protect against ongoing sun damage. 

SPF 30 sunscreen is fragrance free and suitable for normal, dry and sensitive skin. The texture of the product is very thick and leaves white cast on my medium dark/combination skin. It claims to help prevent thinning skin and minimise brown spots and wrinkles but I found the product too thick and very hard to blend and work with. I've noticed that it also changes the colour of the foundation/concealer and leaves my face looking very imbalanced from the rest of my skin. 

PRODUCT RATING: 2.5/5 :( expected so much from this product

How to get rid of pimples and acnes naturally

Normally pimples and acne are associated with an oily skin. In case these occur on a dry skin then this is the ideal treatment. Take a few tomatoes and puree them. Freeze the puree into cubes (in an ice cube tray). Store these frozen tomato ice cubes in a bag or container in the freezer. During the day apply one cube each on either cheek or affected area rubbing gently.Repeat the treatment everyday. A very effective way of getting rid of pimples/acnes.

BLV Eau de Parfume & Natural Spray II Review

PRODUCT INFORMATION:
BVLGARI BLV Eau de Parfum II explores a rich and transparent natural sophistication. The gracefully elegant, joyous, and vibrant scent sparkles like the azure blue color that inspires it. This essence speaks to the contemporary and sensual woman looking for a signature morning-to-evening fragrance.

A top of fresh and luminous violet, star anise, and frosted mandarin offers an introduction. Vibrant intensity emerges with a heart of iris absolute, jasmine petals, fresh Lily of the Valley, and precious woods. Soft, sensual benzoin, Spanish cistus flowers, and musk create a beautiful base.

Notes:
Violet, Star Anise, Frosted Mandarin, Iris Absolute, Jasmine petals, Lily of the Valley, Precious Woods, Benzoin, Spanish Cistus Flowers, Musk.
A musky Eau de Parfum (30ml) and Vaporisateur Natural Spray (10ml) has a soft floral accents, the packaging is lovely and definitely worth a sniff. Slightly disappointed as it has little lasting power,suitable for days.

BOMB COSMETICS BATH BOMB/MELTS REVIEW

BOMB COSMETICS BATH BOMB/MELTS REVIEW

Product Information: 
Bath Melts are a little like Bath Blasters - they are made of Bicarb and Citric Acid, but they contain a very high Cocoa Butter content so they deeply moisturise your skin. They also contain Shea Butter, renowned for it's skin nourishing richness. They are made entirely by hand, no machines are used and they are rolled in petals, again by hand. Add these to your bath just before you get in and they will very softly fizz, slowly releasing a creamy foam that is laced with Cocoa and Shea Butters. As you wash, the Butters will moisturise your skin and the perfume will softly fragrance your bath water.
My first impression 'Packaging nice!', 'Smells good!' ,'Decent size too!' The essential oils does makes the skin soft after bath, cheaper than lush bath ballistics but my bath was just low on foam. I'd like a little more bubbles in my bath.

Summer of Love Bath Bomb: A lovely blackberry, Vetivert and Ginger fragrance bath blaster.
Drop Bath Blaster in to a bath of warm water and watch as it fizzes, releasing its perfume and essential oils, while the Bicarbonate of Soda softens the water.
Good size bath bomb, frizzes well in the water, no foam, it's more like having aromatic bathing experience. £1.99-on sale (available at moremilk.com)

Ladybirds Kiss Bath Tuilip: A truly opulent floral- musky fragrance fashioned from luxurious accords of heliotrope and lilac blossoms, white violets and ylang ylang, enveloped in layers of velvety musks. Vanilla and soft woods infuse the base, while a sparkle of bergamot freshens the top. A fantasy garden with fresh floral fragrances, a cute ladybird and veggie friendly bath pearls. The rich Shea butter and Cocoa butters will nourish your skin while the Patchouli and Ginger essential oils help rejuvinate and warm. Use your Bath Tulip up to four times by dropping it in the bath and allowing a portion of it to melt. Your Bath Tulip will fizz very softly releasing moisturising Cocoa Butter and softening the water. Rub the creamy foam into your skin while bathing. Remember to only allow a portion of your Tulip to dissolve and remove it from the bath to save the rest for later.
I Liked it! My favourite from the lot and looks pretty too. Again, good size bath bomb, frizzes well in the water, no foam. £1.99- on sale (available at moremilk.com)

M by Mariah Carey Fragrance Review

M by Mariah Carey Fragrance Review

Product Information: M by Mariah Carey perfume was created with perfumer Carlos Benaim of International Flavours & Fragrances and is classified as a floriental. A warm and inviting marshmallow is woven throughout the perfume, evoking a sense of comfort. This indulgent accord captures Mariah's fondest childhood memories of being in the kitchen with her father. The lush floral heart of the perfume combines a feminine veil of Living Tahitian Tiare flower wrapped in the aura of wet Gardenia petals. This beautiful blend is reminiscent of the fragrant breezes of Hawaii and the Isle of Capri, Mariah's favourite getaway. The soul of the fragrance reveals a sexier dimension. Sheer amber, infused with spicy, woody accents of Moroccan incense forms a seductive accord that embodies Mariah's sensuality, beauty and glamour.

The purple bottle with the butterfly on the top is not the only reason why I bought this perfume, it smells feminine and warm. It’s long lasting and has a very addictive aroma; I wear it day or night. Whenever I wear this perfume I always get tons of compliments from men and women and there are strangers wanting to know the name of the perfume I’m using. I love this perfume and it’s definitely one of my top 10 favourite perfumes. £37.00 for 100ml available at lookfantastic.com

Product Review: LUSH KARMA BUBBLE BAR

Product Review: LUSH KARMA BUBBLE BAR

Product Information: Our signature fragrance for bath-time: oranges and multi-layered spices. Karma is a fragrance that keeps on giving. Each time you catch a whiff of its many-layered fragrance you notice yet another thread in its multi-stranded personality. Top notes, middle notes, base notes and all the notes in between disentangle themselves before you. Bathe in a fluffy Karma bath and you'll generously perfume the whole house with its fragrance (and yourself, too).

Certainly my favourite lush bubble bar, smells herbally/incensey and for some weird reason reminds me of witches. Very relaxing turns the water into light orange and definitely more bubbles than the comforter bar (reviewed on Saturday, 5 March 2011). If you don’t like woody/incensey/lemongrass smells this is not for you as the smell lingers for couple of hours. £2.99 for 100g (LUSH) which is big enough for 2 baths, BARGAIN!
