Maybelline Clear Glow BB Cream in 01 Nude: Review & Swatches

Hi Lovely Ladies!

Wish you all a very Happy Tuesday ( Bass Awehi mann kia  :D)

Its been a year that I am using this product which is actually my first BB cream and which is actually kind of cool!

People and bloggers all over the world and India have written a lot about the product , and after finishing up 3 tubes I am here to share my views on it :P I am late you are saying? So what, it is always good to go back to basics right!!  *wink wink*

So here I am with the Maybelline New York Clear Glow Bright Benefit (BB) Cream.




There are so many BB creams in the market, and trust me although being in the same industry and working on a cosmetic brand, I still have not figured out what does BB actually stands for. Some call it Bright Benefit, some Beauty Balm, some Blemish Balm and what not. Pheww!!



Anyway Whats in a name right! I should concentrate on the work it does to my skin.

According to Maybelline it is bright benefit cream which is a moisturizer along with a bit of tint and has micro minerals. It is a 8-in-1 Skin transformer what they say. It evens out skin tone, brightens, protects , hydrates, freshen, smoothes, clarifies and conceals.It also has SPF 21.

It is priced at INR 199. Well the price is good. But if you compare with the amount of product Garnier BB cream has with the same price point, Maybelline one is a little disappointing. (a lil haan).

Experience

Well as far as my experience goes, I am in total love with the BB cream. This is my 4th tube and I love every bit of it. It is not heavy on my skin, and it definitely works as a light foundation during day time. I had also once stopped using Sunscreen as this one was good enough a cream which comes with SPF 21.

It conceals my little under eye flaws, and covers it. I am not sure of the brightening part though. It definitely was not dry and was quite a bit moisturizing but yes in winters I need a face lotion before using this.



As far as the shade is concerned, it comes in 3 shades. Nude suits me the most. It matches my skin tone and does not look cakey or fake at all. It just blends with my skin very well. Nude is one such shade which is a close match to a skin color.

The texture of the cream is not runny at all and it gives quite an impressive coverage to my face. All in all I am happy with this BB. It is cheap, it is easily available and it does what it claims. Totally Recommended!

The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel: Review

Hi Girls!

I am again back with a product from The Body Shop family. :D

I try myself not to indulge in TBS products because they are so awesome but very pocket heavy at the same time. Any way price can not deter me from picking up great stuffs from the brand. I always look forward to TBS for some of great skincare products.

Such is their shower gel products- fresh, great smell and all natural. Today I have The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel to review.



It costs INR 425/ 450 for 250 ml. Decent I must say. It is a good price for what I get in the bottle.

The shower gel comes in a round plastic transparent bottle with half tick tock cap where you can pour the liquid. The color of the liquid is cute red which looks like the strawberry has been crushed and then the juice has been sieved and poured into the bottle :P :D  I totally like the color.



The smell is again legendary. Not too mild not too over-powering. When I pour it during showers it gives out fresh strawberry fragrance and soon after lather it goes off. Kind of satisfying.

The liquid is sheer pink in color when you take in your hand. It is not runny and not too creamy. Just apt.



After application I feel 100z strawberry bursting on to my skin. But the feeling is not long lived. :(

The good point it is does not make my skin dry at all. It is said to be soap free and my skin feels soft.


After shower I feel fresh and light!

Hi Fivez

1. Decent Price
2. Decent quantity
3. Smell is great and not overpowering
4. beautiful sheer color of the liquid
5. does not make my skin dry
6. Made up of community seed Oil



Low Fivez

1. too big a bottle to carry (At least for me)
2. the smell does not last long ( but I can stay with it)
