ALMAY TLC Truly Lasting Color Makeup in the shade tan 09 340

Hey Everyone !!!!!!

Hope you all are doing incredible!! How’s your Sunday going guys?? Mine is going xtreme quick. Today let’s talk about one of the most frequently used product, I am certain every female uses this like on a daily basis…Yeahhh… it’s a foundation.Foundations are available as liquid, mineral, powder, cream used for sheer, moderate or full coverage.

Foundation has come a long way since our mom's day, when varieties were restricted and most foundations were thick, unmanageable creams. These days, there are many types of foundation available, from thick creams with the consistency of concealer to light-as-air tinted moisturizers which create an even skin tone while creating just a hint of color.

Foundations should do more than even out skin tones and conceal blemishes; it should also actually help your skin appear dewier, stronger and healthier.

So ladies do a comparison to find the best makeup for your skin by heading to a department store or drug store makeup counter and try several types.

Company claims

Description

TLC Truly Lasting Color Makeup with SPF 15 delivers up to 16 hours of flawless coverage that won't rub off-even in heat and humidity. Plus, it nourishes your skin with a blend of green tea to protect, vitamin E to help smooth, and lemon extract to brighten...for all day, natural radiance.

Features:

The Almay TLC Truly Lasting Color Makeup was a recent purchase for me as I wanted a liquid makeup that could be delivered by pump action and this fit the bill perfectly. 

It gives great coverage, hydrates my face all day and makes my skin feel velvety and smooth while it is on.  I LOVE Almay's TLC 16 hour makeup! This makeup is supposedly skin nourishing and meant for long wear. The bottle also says that this product contains SPF 15. Even though I don’t use it every day, it’s good to have a cheap and good back up foundation for the days where I don’t want to look like I put too much makeup on. Almay was the only brand I could find that was completely oil free and promised not to clog pores. Can't beat the price, either! Very happy with this product.

Price : $12.49 for 30 ML (Standard foundation Quantity)

Pros:

·         It comes in a liquid so the easiest way to apply it without getting your hands all messy ,the handy pump allows just the right amount to dispense onto my makeup sponge

·         Good Pigmentation and an incredible foundation at a cheap price!

·         I have put it on 6 in the morning and taken it off at evening and the cotton pads I used are covered with foundation, which is great because that means it lasted all day through eating, touching, and sweating.

·         The color blends really well with your skin tone.

·         Gives you a natural coverage

·         Varieties to choose from.

Cons:

·         It's a little sticky and clings and remains on your fingers for some time after application to face, brushes are of no use with this product..better to use a sponge / Blender.

LBA Rating: 4/5 ( 1 rating is been deducted because I have to carry sponge all the time if I have to use it)

Would I recommend: Yes of course, but remember whatever product suits me well may/may not suit you..As I said earlier do a comparison /check for the products which suit your skin type and texture.

Thanks for reading my opinion on this product!

Max Factor Smooth Effect Foundation - 55 Buff Beige

Max Factor Smooth Effect Foundation - 55 Buff Beige

Hi Ladies,

Good Evening!! How are you doing today?? I am starting with a review on one of my Favorite Foundation that is from Max Factor.

Company Claims:

For a luminous and vivid look that really makes an impact, a sheer and smooth complexion is a must.

Designed to work seamlessly with the Max Colour Effects Collection, Smooth Effect Foundation lets you max out your colour and make a lasting statement.

Some useful info about Max Factor.

Max Factor is known as “the make-up of make-up artists”. Mr Max Factor himself was responsible for countless cosmetic innovations – from the first full-face foundation to false eyelashes – and defined the 'look' for generations. The glamorous looks Max Factor created for Hollywood screen goddesses defined the concept of beauty in the 20th Century and were copied by women all over the world.

 The huge impact of these styles, coupled with the stars’ endorsement, created glamorous beauty looks that every woman wanted to emulate.

Not only was Max Factor the creator of cosmetic products, he developed numerous make-up techniques – both for movie special effects and beauty looks. This expertise in original make-up techniques for the world of beauty evolved and developed throughout the years. The principle of instilling product knowledge and application techniques to beauty consultants continues today.

Price : 4 RO for 30 ML , Made in Ireland

Features:

The shade matches my skin tone flawlessly. The product felt very lightweight on the skin, drying evenly with a good coverage. It gave me just the right amount of cover without feeling like I had lots of foundation on. This foundation stayed in place so well, that when I came to reapply in the evening, I found I didn't need to. Better to apply with a brush.

Ingredients:

Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Talc, Sodium Chloride, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Methicone, Silica, Laureth-7, Trihydroxystearin, Sodium Dehydroacetate ,Hydrogenated, Soybean Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Paraffin, Synthetic Wax, Trisodium EDTA, Stearic Acid, Microcristallina Cera,Mica, Ethylene Brassylate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Barium Sulfate,Propylparaben,[+/- CI 77891,CI 77492,CI 77491,CI77499]

Pros:

·         Comes in a very handy tube so easy to apply.

·         Light Weight Tube can be easily carried in your bag.

·         The finish and coverage is just right for me, this is probably the most natural looking, skin-like foundation that I've tried.

·         Variety of shades to choose from light to dark.

Cons:

·         Although the color matches me pretty well, but I believe I'd prefer a slightest darker shade if I repurchase.

·         I do find this foundation somewhat similar to Maybelline's Fit Me.

·         Ingredients are not mentioned on the tube.

Recommend:

I do recommend Max Factor foundation if you have dry to slightly oily skin and want a natural looking foundation with light to medium coverage.

Garnier BB Cream India Review & Swatch

Hey Everyone,

How are you doing today ??

Today I will be reviewing Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector Shade Light/Medium  which i am using for almost a week and am in love with the product.

Blemish Balm (BB) cream as its called is best suited for girls who just needs an smoothing of skin tone, light coverage and has a combination-oily skin. I do like this a lot myself really and I have been using this on a daily basis to work or outing  but I definitely need a moisturizer under it.

BB cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sun block. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage.

Garnier BB Cream Price: Rs 99 for 18 Gms and Rs 199 for 40 Gms

It’s a new idea in skincare. B.B. Cream is a hybrid formula that offers advanced skincare + immediate skin perfecting coverage in one single beauty product.

Is it Different?

Yes, BB Cream immediately and effectively fulfills your skincare expectations with just one multi-benefit product that combines intense moisturizing skincare + immediate skin perfecting coverage for skin that looks naturally more even, radiant and smooth.

How to use it?

Gently apply Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream to face and neck prior to sun exposure for instant coverage and correction as well as for protection. Reapply as needed.

Pros:

Travel Friendly

Very light on Skin.

SPF 24 with UVA and UVB Protection

All in one so no need to carry other cream, foundation, primer or concealer altogether.

Gives a glowy skin after application.

Fragrance is Mild.

Can be used as a eye primer underneath the powder eyeshadow.

Available at all Medical Stores and Malls as well.

Cons:

Limited Shade choices comes in 2 Shades Light /Medium and Medium/Dark.

Gets wipe out after 3-4 Hours if worn alone, so a compact or translucent powder is a must on it to lock the cream and make it more of a matte effect.

Would Recommend:

Yes
