LASS Naturals Peach & Apricot Shea Butter Lip Balm

Heyya Girls!!

Worried about chapped lips this season? Does your lips losing its natural color?
I have a great solution to your problem then.

Actually I myself was not convinced at first but after seeing the result on me, I can surely vouch for this product.

I am talking about Lass Naturals' Lip Balm - Peach & Apricot.



I came to know about this product from one of the beauty blogs I was going through few months back. It was summer then. I thought lets give it a try as my Maybelline Baby lips was almost on the verge of getting over.

I went online to order the lip balm. I found out that it comes in three variants - peach & apricot, honey & chocolate  and pomegranate & grapes. The name peach attracted me, and I just bought it :D

I had never heard of the brand before, so wanted to see whether the claims of the company - to be herbal, and natural is true or not. I must Say I am not disappointed.

Ingredients



All these were too true to believe. Also the price of the product seems too unbelievable against all these advantages.

Price

Only Rs 65 for 8 gms/ 0.28 oz

My Experience

My online order came 4 days later. Though I was expecting it within 2 days as I was too impatient. :P
Yes, they do not have any store countrywide. They only sell Online through their company website portal.
You can procure it  at www.lasscosmetics.com

The balm comes inside a monocarton. It is small round "dibbi" or a tub  with a screw cap. The Peach & Apricot is a sweet pink color balm which after application becomes transparent on the lips. No pungent smell at all. So all sensitive noses can relax. :D

One can use it as many a times as one wants. But I prefer using it in the night before going off to sleep as it is at that time when it heals the lips efficiently.



The balm is not heavy on your lips and you cannot feel that you have applied something. When I get up the next morning , my lips literally feels soft and supple and also pinkinsh (yuhuuuu)

And to get best result out of it I scrub my lips every second day. My lips are gradually regaining its natural color (Kudos Team Lass! You were true )

I have used it for 4 months at a stretch and have then come to this conclusion. Also, after so many days my lip balm is still not over and  I have already ordered another lip balm from the other variants :P

I use it not only in winters but on summers, rains always.. I will just advice you all to get the best result use it anytime, everyday of the year. And you will not regret..its my promise.



Pros

1. Does what it claims
2. No chemicals
3. No Smell
4. Locks moisture
5. Bring back natural color of the lips
6. Affordable and not at all pricey

Cons

1. Availability. No physical store. Order through their website only.
2. Only 3 variants available. I wanted some more ( :D)
3. It comes in a small tub, which at times becomes unhygienic and also have to use fingers to take out the balm and apply.

Rating

Ofcourse 4.5 /5 ( .5 dedecuted for tub packaging)

Re purchase

Have already done that. I am going to use it for life long  I guess

Which lip balm do you use? have you ever tried Lass? Do let me know

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Body Moisturizer - Dry Skin

Hi Roses!

The winter has set in!! It is slowly and steadily engulfing Delhi/ NCR. And "beheno" that day is near when we are going to experience that dreadful, that spine chilling  "Dilli ki Sardi" :P . But honestly I just love winters.

So when there is winter, then there has to have a situation when we girls need to take special care of our skin, of our body. It is that time of the year when all the cracked heels, dry skin, cracked skin, flaky skin re-surfaces. Huh!

Before the crisis had set in, I suddenly chanced upon a miracle moisturizer in one of the Dabur New U store. Although I went to the store to check out some lippies, but I came back with this, also my old moisturizer was over. It was a Neutrogena Body Moisturizer..

Well frankly speaking I had never used any Neutrogena products, as I was not confident about the type of chemicals they use in their products. But this product did not disappoint me and now I am certainly going to check out more from the brand. Although the BA kept pushing for the products (I do not like pushy SA/BA. They irritate me), I was quite reluctant at first. I asked her it is for dry skin, and I have combination skin. Then I realized, winter makes our skin dry, lets try out.



Product Description

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Body Moisturizer hydrates skin with exceptional moisture levels that lasts all day. The non-greasy, glycerin-rich formula deeply penetrates, instantly turning even the driest, roughest skin into soft, smooth skin.


  • Instantly soothes skin
  • Relieves, dry rough skin
  • Provides 24 Hr of moisturization



Price

Although the price of the product is Rs 399, I got it at Rs 35 discount. Yayyy!

Ingredients

This product contains no harmful chemicals that I am sure.



My Take on the product

It claims to have Norwegian formula, which helps retaining moisture in the skin. Norway is a cold country and people there use some kind of therapy and things to keep themselves moisturize. This product claims to have incorporated that formula in the product. And yes the product did not disappoint me. I am not quite sure about how this product would work in s
ummers for girls who has my skin type, but in winters it is a boon.

It keeps my skin really soft for so long. Before I head to office I apply it and it keeps my skin supple throughout the day and still after I come back home. Even at night when I re-apply it, it makes my skin like silk. Trust me it does.






It has a lovely floral smell which is very mild and which goes off once you start applying. It is not at all greasy and a little amount of the product covers lots of body portion.

Pros


  • Does what it claims
  • keeps my skin soft silky
  • does not allow my skin to show up with cracks and flakes
  • pretty decent price compared to the wonders it does
  • No harmful chemicals as such
  • No pungent smell
Cons

  • Nothing I could think of
Rating

5/5

Re-Purchase?

Yes ofcourse. And I will love to try out other products as well from the brand.

Let me know, what are your lotions and creams for the season 

Maybelline Color Show Nail Paint - Shocking Seas

Hello ladies!!

I am back!!

I went hibernating for few days as I was sooo decked up with work that I could hardly make out time for my love- my blog!!  :-(

well that should not be an excuse to ignore my love..I know..I had figured out how to carry on with my love, so here I am, all re-structured and with revamped energy..and soon you will be seeing some changes in the blog.

That is it on my "Pareshani" part. Back to my love please  :D

As we all know that Maybelline has made the impossible POSSIBLE. the whole blogging world is raving about the it and every one else. Maybelline New York has launched their international range of nail paints in India COLOR SHOW. And the best part it it contains 40 odd shades to choose from. Can you imagine it? It is just woowwwwwwwww!!  I personally have fallen in love with the shades. And have already bought 6 nail paints in one go. And I have full confident on myself that I am going to buy more soon.




Price

Yes this is the part which I am just dying to tell everybody. Each of the paints is priced at only Rs 75/-
Double Wowwwwwwwwww!!


My experience

Today the shade I have chosen is Shocking Seas. It is a fact that Maybelline does have some great color palette which are to die for. This Nail paint is just perfect and I do not know whether people will believe or not but after application my nails look like as if I have put on an indigo sky on my nails. So you can imagine ladies that how next to perfection it is and it definitely justifies the shade name.

The color does not chip off from my nails for 5 days at a stretch. Not sure though how long it it stays on other's nails. Also, I need 3 coats to get full coverage and the desired finish. Other wise it is a greattt greatt greatt product. I will come up with more new shades of the palette soon.

And yes ofcourse I will definitely ask all you ladies to use a base coat when applying any nail lacquer or else your nails will turn yellow..Yellow Yellow Dirty Fellow!!  :P








Pros

1. 40 different shades to die for
2. Great affordable price
3. Does Not chip off

Cons

1. Need 3-4 coats for full coverage (That is it  :D)
