Colours on the Face

Here I am today with the best face washes for oily skin or top 5 face washes for oily skin . Indian summers are hot and humid and leaves no chance of peace for oily and combination skinned beauties. So my quest for a face wash apt for my oily skin is always on. Although my skin is pretty oily but my choice of face wash is in accordance to the time of the day I use them or the purpose. Let me explain this way.... When using a face wash is the morning, I prefer it to be one that removes my oil from the core that accumulates over the night. My oil cleansed skin is then pampered by a light day cream followed by a sunscreen I usually don't use face washes at office but when I do I go for a face wash that is removes the oil but doesn't rip the moisture from my face I prefer a face wash that has lemon or orange as an ingredient when I get back home as it helps in de-tanning my face When travelling, I prefer carrying 2 face washes - an anti tanning one and a deep c...

Welcome to Colours on the Face! Today I'll be sharing the review of 2 of sunscreens from the brand Suncros. One is Suncros Matte Finish Soft Gel SPF 50+ PA+++ and the other is Suncros Aqua Lotion SPF 50. Suncros sunscreens are dermatologist recommended and no wonder why because they are effective and has a cleaner ingredients list. And now comes the detailed review of the 2 sunscreens. Suncros Sunscreens Suncros Matte Finish Soft Gel SPF 50+ PA+++ If you don't wish to read the long post, then I must tell you here that this sunscreen will be your best friend, please don't miss on it.

All details are mentioned on the surface of the tube. Suncros Matte Finish Soft Gel Spf 50+ PA+++ Ingredients List: Shelf Life:   24 months from manufacturing date   ...

Packaging:   It ha s colour-coded packaging and hence brown in colour. It is a very long pencil (it might last me for a decade) that needs to be sharpened after 4-5 uses. The cap is a transparent one and had all the details of the product stuck in it.   Wet n Wild Color Icon Kohl Liner Pencil - Simma Brown Now   Quantity: 1.4 grams Price: INR 135   Ingredients List: Beeswax/Cire d’abeille, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba, Ceresin, Petrolatum, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, Mica, Chromium Oxide Greens/CI 77288, Iron Oxides/CI 77491, CI 77499.   Swatches!! (Left: 1 swipe     Right: 3 swipes)   Review: Would you be in shock if I say that I use this kohl pencil as a brow pencil? I seriously do it. The texture is waxy enough to be used as a brow pencil. It isn't the smoothest kajal pencil but better than those which crumble o...

Hi everyone, today I am reviewing the Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal. Now you might be surprised to know the I just picked up this kajal as one fine day I had a whim of buying something and that something went on to be 4 things: 2 kajal pencils (one from Nykaa and the other from LA girl), a nail paint (from Essence) and a pack of cotton pads. Not that I needed any of those but you might know that us, the women folk, can be little frivolous when it comes to shopping. BTW, I got everything from Nykaa. I picked up this kajal because of the packaging (I love the colours used).    Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal   Packaging: The kajal comes in a retractable pink barrel with a black cap (looks pretty). This kajal comes in a cardboard package. Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal (the packaging) Quantity: 0.35 grams Price: 199 INR Review: I have a love-hate relationship with Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal. I love the matte black pigmentation of i...

Hello lovelies! Today I am reviewing a moisturizer: HealthVit Bath & Body Tea Tree Body & Face Cream. I had purchased this in the month of November anticipating the dry winter to take a toll on my skin. I generally have combination to oily skin all through the year except in the winter. However, this winter my skin was more on the normal side than drier. The only moisturizer that I use, irrespective of the season, is my Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. Despite having oily skin, I really enjoy keeping my skin hydrated as it also helps to check further oil secretion. I came to know about the brand, HealthVit, from Nykaa when I was searching for a facewash, which is indeed a very good facewash. Hence, this brand a rather good impression to me.   HealthVit Bath & Body Tea Tree Body & Face Cream About HealthVit: HealthVit is a part of West-Coast Pharmaceutical Works Ltd. and primarily manufactures natural health and dietary supplements, personal care products, ...

Hello there! I am yet again here with my review and swatch of another Colourpop Pressed Powder Eyeshadow. I bought this from an Instagram page called color_popper_india. Packaging: The eyeshadow comes in a pan which comes in a plastic holder. The outer packaging is a small, white slip-in pouch. It is a very standard packaging. The packaging! Quantity: 1.5 grams Price: $4 (around INR 500 if bought from Insta stores) Buy Here  ---> Colourpop Pressed Powder Eyeshadow                          color_popper_india                           Review: I am a sucker for warm eyeshadows. I was long looking for a warm brown (almost terracotta) eyeshadow and this is just the perfect one. The pigmentation is good and can be built as required. I primarily use this as my transition shade to blend the colours or even just on the lids to have s...

How are you all doing gals? I am currently obsessed with lip liners. Yes, I use them not only as a lip liner but also as a lip colour or lipstick. This particular one is from a brand called Essence which is available on Amazon and Nykaa. I chose the shade Satin Mauve to give this line a shot. From the day I received this, I've been addicted to this lip liner. And why not? This is just fantastic. Let me make a point right here itself: do buy this lip liner if you're addicted to lip liners. If you want more details, then please read the following as well.   Essence Lip Liner in Satin Mauve Packaging: Nothing fancy, nothing gimmicky, the lip liner comes in a wooden pencil form which needs to be sharpened after every 2-3 uses. The pencil is colour coded and has a silver cap. The packaging! Ingredients List: Not mentioned on packaging. But I've got this ingredients list on their official website. C10-18 TRIGLYCERIDES, TALC, MICA, HYDROGENATED VEGETA...

Hello pretty ones! Today I'll be sharing my experience of a foundation brush from Amazon. I am no pro at makeup and I am ever learning this art. So, to begin with I am currently opting for tools that are affordable yet does the job nicely, if not perfectly. I believe, if you love makeup and has just started using makeup, you may have come across this brush. And why not? It's pretty much popular with beginners. Generic Face Brush The brush I'm talking about is a dense and stout face brush. It's from a brand called Generic and they describe it as a powder or blush brush. Of course, this can be used as compact powder or blush brush but it is not as fluffy as a powder brush should be. This brush is not exactly a flat top kabuki brush but has a slight curve. Not a flat-top brush! I use it to blend my foundation and it does blend quite seamlessly. This brush is ideal if you use Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation or any other foundation with similar formu...

It's review time again. Due to my increasing dark circles, I bought an orange corrector to diminish/hide them. Clinique, NYX, LA Girl, Kryolan and many other brands have orange corrector. I intended to buy the Kryolan one but they have increased the price of the 4 grams pot from 350 INR to 750 INR (I inquired in some stores at New Market). So finally I bought the Miss Claire one. I wasn't too keen on getting it as I know most of the Miss Claire products contain parabens; to my sweet surprise, this didn't. Packaging:  The corrector comes in a small, transparent, acrylic pot with a black cap. The pot is compact and travel friendly. Packaging of Miss Claire Orange Corrector Ingredients List: Ingredients List Quantity:  6 grams Price:  250 INR The product! Review:  The first thing you will notice on opening the pot is that it is too orange but on blending it becomes a light orange more with yellow undertones. Since this has a strong ...

Hello everyone. While I was browsing Nykaa and trying to add something to my cart to avoid paying shipping charges, I found a new face wash: Lacto Calamine Oil Balance Face Wash. I am a regular user of the Lacto Calamine Lotion for Oily Skin and on seeing a new launch from the same brand made me buy the face wash. On a regular basis I use a face wash that has been prescribed by my dermatologist. Packaging:  The face wash comes in a squeeze tube form and came wrapped with a clear film on the cap. The nozzle was sealed with a foil cap. Quantity:  50ml Price:  80 INR Ingredients: Lacto Calamine Face wash ingredients Claims: 3 way action for oil balance. 1. Kaolin - contains natural minerals that absorb excess oil without removing essential nutrients from the skin 2. Glycerin - retains natural moisture, prevents excessive drying of the skin 3. Neem - prevents pimples with its anti-germs properties.   Review:  I am using ...

Review time. And this time it's a concealer. I never used concealers before but after I got this I must say I quite enjoy concealing. Now, there are many budget concealers available in the market but I chose Inglot over most others because I believe Inglot concealers are not too talked about and I wanted to experiment as I have no frame of reference to judge it. I will not say that I'm too happy with the concealer mainly because I chose a wrong shade for concealing (thanks to the SA as well!) and it creases a little when used around the eyes. But it works as a highlighting concealer for me, so that's good. The shade that I got is MW100. Packaging:  Since it is from the Freedom System so it comes in a metal square pan which is meant to be stored in a Z-palette. I don't have a Z-palette so I've stored it in an old compact case. The pan was enclosed in a hard plastic cover which came in a black cardboard box.   The packaging The pan (look at the damag...
