VICTORIA'S SECRET-LOVE SPELL BODY LOTION--Review

Victoria Secret's Love Spell Body Lotion

Finally...!!! I am reviewing this beauty. An year back my brother sent me lots of Victoria's secret stuff,yeah you read it rite ..LOTS OF :) it included body care and perfumes and even a Victoria secret bag. I would share it all through my reviews . Today is the day for Love Spell Body Lotion .

LOVE SPELL HYDRATING BODY LOTION
Massage on for silky,replenishing moisture.Skin feels soft,smooth and touchable.

MY EXPERIENCE
The sooner you just click its cap open and here you go with a breeze of fruity fragrance ,instantly making the whole air around you smell like peaches and flowers . So refreshing it is, full marks but for a few it might be bit overwhelming,
Packaging is different from all the body lotions bottles available in the market ,a V shaped plastic bottle with a flip top lid containing 125 ml of product, easily squeezable and sturdy packaging, but nothing extra ordinary about it.
Texture of the lotion is like a well beaten yogurt,milky white and creamy , its a body lotion but I use it on my face and for hands, because it soothes my dry skin so well.Even though winters have not yet taken there full toll in Karachi but for people with dry skin its already here. It does not gives that sticky feeling like many lotions does and completely absorbs into skin and keeps it moisturize for quite a good time.So for me it does it job well.

Price and availability : This body lotion comes with a set of three , shower gel-Body mist -Body Lotion.And the prices I have seen on different Facebook pages varies between 2500 to 3000 rupees. But people in UK can easily get the individual pieces as well.

To Conclude :

Sturdy packaging and easy to use flip top lid.
Refreshing fruity fragrance.
Does what it claims,moisturize skin without sticky feeling.

Expensive.
Availability might be an issue.

ARTDECO EYESHADOW BASE-REVIEW & SWATCHES

My first ever eye shadow base, which was a total random purchase ....!!!! Lets get into details and see whether I regret buying it or love it.

THEY CLAIM

The Eyeshadow Base with a soft, creamy consistency prevents the deposition of eyeshadow in the eyelid crease and makes the powder eyeshadows highly long-lasting, intense and brilliant. The eyeshadow is being applied easier, distributed better and lasts longer. This way, little particles cannot become loose, making it ideal for contact lens wearers. The base calms reddened eyelids with bisabolol and neutralizes the color of the eyelid. Vitamin E nourishes and protects the sensitive skin of the eyes.

Suitable for all kind of eyeshadows. Free from animal ingredients

MY EXPERIENCE

A cute black small jar ,size is almost similar to an eye gel jar ,made up of hard plastic which makes it really sturdy and attractive. The smell of it is a little hard to describe may be like medicines but not really ahhh ... but it is very mild .

The texture of base was very creamy in the initial days but with time it is getting thick which makes it harder to get out of the jar... Even though my use is very limited that means less exposure to air but still in just four weeks of use it is so thick. Because it was creamier when I bought it, application was easy and smooth but my o my now I really have to push it into my lids and it does not even out, which really freaks me out .

It also have shimmer in it which is quite noticeable and gives matte shadows a sheen to it

It really boost up the eye shadow , makes them more vibrant and long lasting ,the longest I have wore it is 5 to 6 hours and my eye shadow was exactly the same without creasing.

It costed me 650 rupees and contains 5 ml of product and will easily last long , I bought this from Imtiaz super store,it is also available on Just4girls.pk

To Conclude:

Boost up eyeshadows and make them more vibrant
No creasing and fading
Cute pakaging
Affordable.

Dries up really fast.
With time application is rough.
Contains fine shimmer in it .

Will I Repurchase:

I wont and my search for another affordable eye shadow primer/.base continues.

ST.IVES COLLAGEN ELASTIN MOISTURIZER -REVIEW

Moisturizers are the basic skin care essentials , from freezing cold to melting temperatures we need them all year around , dont we ?? Today I am reviewing a mouturizer that I have been using since a year now .

THEY CLAIM

St.Ives is dedicated to bringing you the best of nature with formulas that delight the senses as they leave your skin with a soft, fresh feel. We understand that little every day choices we make help to better your life. That's why St.Ives is a formulator of quality products.

Apply to face and neck, morning and evening.

MY EXPERIENCE

Its my second jar, and I try to use this every night before going to bed , and when I wake up my skin is soft and incredibly matte, no traces of oil around the T-zone . But whenever I apply it during the daytime's it does not give me that fresh and neat feeling as if something is sticking to my skin, so I made it my night cream.

Its texture is thick and gel like ,which when applied to face feels a bit heavy , takes few seconds before it is completely absorbed into the skin .

So what basically is collagen and elastin , I read and searched about it and in simple words it can be described as the support structures of our skin , collagen is a protein which connects tissues and elastin helps our skin to stretch and return to its original position , And as we age they both start breaking down and so wrinkles appear, but getting these through creams and moisturizes is a big question, I have few very fine lines on my forehead and it failed to reduce them.

It smells unique, not floral nor fruity but a very pleasant one which really do uplift my mood when ever I apply it.

As its a huge jar there is always a fear that some dirt might get into it whenever I open it, so I just take the amount very fast and close the lid.

My skin type is dry but in summers the T-zone is bit oily, in winters I need thick dose of some heavy moisturizers I tried it in winters but it didn't quench my thirsty skin , so it is good for me from March till mid Novembers :)

It costed me around 450 to 500 rupees a very pocket friendly cream if compared to the quantity you get, contains
10 oz of product.

TO CONCLUDE :

Good for all skin types but for dry skin its good in summers only
Makes skin super matte and soft
Pocket friendly
Huge quantity if compared to price

A little sticky and heavy feeling.
Does not reduce fine lines as it claims
Due to its size you have to be extra careful from preventing dirt entering into it.
