Parachute Aloe Vera infused coconut Oil

So firstly let's put it out there- Coconut oil by itself does not suit my hair. I have also used aloe vera gel on my hair which also did not work for my hair.

But this oil was the most amazing surprise ever!

Honestly I stumbled upon this as my hairoil was over and had no time to go get it, and when the shopkeeper gave me this I wrinkled my nose and asked "Aur kuch nahi hai?".

But I'm so glad I gave it a shot.

The consistency's not very thick unlike the normal Parachute coconut oil, still smells very similar though. I used it on my scalp and the length of my hair, kept it overnight and washed it out after returning from the gym.

My hair were noticibly smoother even while washing my hair, and this from the first wash itself. After I towel dried my hair, I waited till they dried completely and combed them then. My hair were very manageable and very shiny. I have not experienced any hairfall or any drandruff after using it, I have used it for a month now.

My hair look very good and shiny and honestly, very manageable so I don't have to tie them up all the time. I really like this oil and also, I love essential oils but man they burn a hole in your pocket the size of a small island, so I'm very hapoy I found a cheaper alternative that works!

Price- Rs. 35 for 75ml

Would I recommend it? Absofuckinutely 💕

Maybelline Master Contour Review

Maybelline Master Contour is everything you need to contour your face in one kit. Let's get right to it!

Price- 1250 free shipping

The kit consists of 3 things- Contour, highlight and blush. To my knowledge there are 2 shades, light and medium. Since the only one available on Amazon was a light, that's the one I got. This kit isn't available in India as such but is available on Amazon.

Getting down to the shades, the contour is a warm brown, the pink is a universally flattering colour and the highlighter is subtle with a little light shimmer. The colours are moderately pigmented- easily build-able. The texture of the powders are soft and comfortable, it is light on the skin.

I like the contour more and the blush is good, but the highlighter has to be built to look really bang on. Otherwise, if you want a very subtle look, you don't have to work too hard.

The kit comes with a little brush in it. It isn't the best brush in the world, but it is good to put your contour exactly where you want and then you can use your regular brushes. It can be used well for the highlight, it's small and precise that way.

Overall, I quite like the palette and if you are just starting out, this is a good kit to begin and learn and play with. No nonsense, to the point, I like this.

Richfeel AloeVera Shampoo and Jaborandi Hair Oil Review

Hey Guys!

So I have been using the Richfeel Aloe Vera Shampoo and Jaborandi Oil on my hair. I have used Richfeel Products before but somehow they haven't really suited me much before, though thetexture of my hair is very different now.

Richfeel Aloe Vera Shampoo:

I tried the Shampoo in 3 ways:

1. With Oil, with conditioner:
So with the Jaborandi hair oil and a Tressemme Conditioner (Silky Smooth) variant, I got some really good results! My hair were shiny, manageable and thicker with the consecutive washes and sinc I braid my hair a lot, the braids looked fuller and nicer. Also to be noted, the Streax Prop Serum is  my constant, I have used that irrespective of the 3 products. People literally called my hair 'flawless', though my hair of course has flaws, but you get the gist.

2. With oil, without conditioner:
With the oil and the shampoo, my hair felt a little dry when they were wet and also after they dried, the hair were a little dry and a little frizzy. The shampoo claims to have conditioner in it but I don't think it really does. Hair still felt fuller, but drier too. After the serum, hair were much better.

3. Without oil, with conditioner:
Without oil my hair were not in a good place. Hair fell a little and the bottom hair were drier and less manageable than before. That's also because my lower hair are quite dry while my scalp is oily. Serum helped, but the squeekiness continued.

Overall, my hairfall was definitely under control, I had fuller, shinier hair and with the right routine, this worked for me. However, I do not recommend this shampoo for people who have dry, course hair becase it is not moisturising and may not benefit your hair texture and health.

Price- Rs. 400 for 500ml

I got this from Grofers because I'm too lazy to walk 10 mins to the shop in the rains.

Richfeel Jaborandi Oil:

I absolutely love this hair oil. It goes well with all shampoos and it really nourishes the hair, making it soft and shiny. It is not very thick, so it can easily be used from a spray bottle. It spreads well and smells...okay-ish. It's oil, deal with it. If you are not into the complicated stuff with essential oil and also don't wanna go the commercial way, this is definitely your go to product!

Price- Rs. 840 for 500 ml which may sound expensive but compare it with your 30ml essential oil bottles and you have a winner.

Would I buy these again? Absolutely

Much Love,

Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow Palette in the shade Day to Night

I had heard a lot about these palettes and I received one from Habbana as part of their giveaway. I played with it and so here comes the review!

The colours are beautiful, but very tilted towards the blues and blacks. They are all either shimmer or pearlised, so no matte shades there. The pigmentation of some colours like the teal and the black are amazing, while some are not very pigmented and need to be built.

The finish is pretty and smooth and there is a lot of potential for playing with it and experimenting. The brush provided with the palette is very average, can be used as a last resort but don't depend on it. I used my Colorbar brushes with it and at times to pack in more colour, I just used my fingers to pat the colour onto my eyelids.

The powder is not vey loose so it doesn't fly or fall onto your face so thats a plus. They are easy on the pocket, about Rs. 1080 after discount and it's almost always available on discount. What I did not like is actually just one thing- Makeup Revolution palettes have parabens and parabens is a problem. I don't use it very often so I think it's not as harmful, but otherwise, I haven't heard about any problems as such, but be careful is my advice.

Overall, a pretty palette, experimental and affordable with a downside to parabens.
Let me know your thought about this palette!

Colorbar BB Cream

I am a huge fan of Colorbar cosmetics: the quality is good, price is reasonable and for beginners it's perfect to experiment with.

I don't like applying foundation on a daily basis so I opt for BB Creams. When I heard about CB's BB Cream, I was quite excited to try it out.

Now to make it detailed, I tried the application of the bb cream with a brush, a sponge and without tools. I picked the shade Vanilla Creme and it's a standard Indian tone. A lighter tone called white light is also available, so are darker ones called honey glaze and cinnamon swirl, but I suggest going to a ship, swatching it with your skin and then buying it.

With the brush- the brush eats the cream. The consistency of the cream is runny, like foundation. Most bb creams are more creamy, and thick and blendable. This one is actually more like a light foundation than a bb cream. So I blended it in with my hands first and then used the brush. Still ate a lot of it unless you use more quantity. The cream is like foundation and the colour sort of separates, like you know those matte lipsticks that u need a base otherwise it gets patchy? It's like that. Use a primer.

With a sponge- Ate it. I used my hands to spread it and then used a sponge. That way, it helped and spread much better over the face. However, it still gets a little patchy and I think that's because of the lack of adequate moisturiser in it. Use primer and blend blend blend.

With hands- patchy. It doesn't blend well and gets patchy. Better with primer, still patchy.

I set it with my Mac Studio Fix compact and it just made my face look make-uped, that's the only way I can put it. Bb Cream I feel, is for a more natural look with light coverage, this bb cream is like in between. Plus it smells like foundation.

It stays 5-6 hours and gives you a dewy look when blended well, but otherwise I think this is a fussy BB Cream.

Would I repurchase it?

No. Rs. 550 for a bb cream that is so much work, no.

I'd suggest the maybelline bb cream as it is much easier to apply and blends really

Much Love.
