Johnson's Dreamy Skin Hand Cream Review

Hello!
After such a long time, I'm making a hand cream review, from Johnson's Body Care, the night hand care cream.




It comes in a purple tube, is 75ml, and is hygienic as you don't have to put your fingers in, but just squeeze it. Also, it is not expensive at all.


The cream is also purple and smell very, very good, like divine! It is a rich cream and is a pretty hydrating and calming.




What is written on the tube :
"Sleep time is the ideal time for the body to unwind and renew. Developed with Johnson's expertise in soft and delicate skin, Dreamy Skin Hand Cream contains Aromasoothe, a relaxing fragrance enriched with Moonflower aroma.
Gently massage and wake up to beautifully soft skin."






I think that it is more a normal-dry skin hand cream. I have always trusted Johnson's products as they are effective and promising. I'm not saying either that this one is a miraculous cream, like after only 1 night's application, you will have the perfect hands ever. But for sure, it works.


On the first days, you may notice more hydrated and smoother hand. Then, they become fairer with less spots. This cream has even healed a burn. Your nails may become shinier and grow better. In fact, moisturized nails grow faster and healthier.


It is not sticky but avoid touching your face with any kinds of hand cream on. It may give you acne. Anyway, it is not a good habit to touch your face due to microbes on your hands.


When you apply it, you can feel that it soothes the skin. The relaxing scent makes you feel sleepy and you're ready for a long 9 hours sleep! By the way, I would advice you to sleep 8 full hours every night for your own beauty, so as your body releases its maximum toxins and also to be less stressed and have a better immunity system. I personally drink 2-3 full glasses of water before bed and try to sleep for atleast 9 hours every night, and sometimes, for up to 13 long hours! I love to sleep.


Well, I would recommend you this hand cream. Just wash your hands thoughtfully and apply it before you go to sleep. You won't regret.

Don't forget to comment down any questions or products' reviews you wanted to know.

Labello Fruity Shine Strawberry Lip Balm Review

Hello!
It's the review of the Labello Fruity Shine Strawberry Lip Balm. There how it is :




As you can see, this is an online picture. But here's mines :






The lip balm is almost finished:







I've been using it since last year ; December. It's my all-time lip balm and my favorite brand. Each time I buy a new lip balm, I tell myself to buy another brand, but always take the same Labello brand, maybe in different flavors. Next time or as soon as possible (due to its current state!), I will buy the Cranberry and Raspberry one, from Labello - Vtamin Shake. It looks good with swirls, it is a marbled stick!
I also have the Moisture Therapy Intensive Lip Treatment from Avon and the Kissing Fruit Lip Balm in Glam Grape from Hotlips. I will probably make a review of each of the three later.

Okay, so let's get back to our main topic - the Fruity Shine Strawberry from Labello. It is said to :
- Delight your lips with fruity strawberry aroma.
- Prettify with a soft glossy color.
- Provide long-lasting moisture for your lips.

My point of view:
I agree that it has a good fruity strawberry aroma/scent but which does not last long. Anyway, that's divine! As if you could just eat it! It hydrates my lips well.

It is hygienic as you don't need to put your fingers in to get some, compared to those in pots. Just roll it over your lips. Also, I would recommend you to use it alone, that is, don't let any one else use the lip balm. In fact, any kind of make-up or beauty treatment products (lipstick, gloss, eye make-up, acne treatment cream, mascara, lip balm, face powder and all the rest) should not be shared to avoid bacteria proliferation (even if the person is not ill) which could lead to many skin problems.

Some people think that it has a drying effect on lips, but this is not the case for me. Maybe, this is because I use it frequently during the day. Some people also say that Labello leads to a kind of addiction for them. I can say that this is true as I am myself addicted to it. But that does not bother me.

The strawberry one has a red translucent color. I like that color. When the lip balm dries out (or get stuck to food!), some hints of color remain on your lips.

I would absolutely recommend you this lip balm or any other one from Labello.

L'Oréal Volume Million Lashes Waterproof Review

Hi!
Today I'm making the review of the L'Oréal Paris Volume Million Lashes Waterproof.
One of my friends gave me this. There how it is :






I have the waterproof one, which is black and 9 ml. It has a nice packaging, gold and blue.

"Voluminous Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara has a revolutionary collagen infused formula and Millionizer Brush for amplified volume and definition - The luxurious, buildable , no-clump formula amplifies each lash instantly. Glides on smoothly, and lasts all day, while thickening and separating every lash for a clump-free, smudge-free look.
The Millionizer Brush is uniquely designed to amplify and separate lashes from corner to corner while building breathtaking volume. The built-in Clean Sweep Wiping System wipes the brush free of clumps leaving the perfect amount of mascara for an ultra-volumized clean lash look."








It is said to be clump-free, flake-free, smudge-proof, all-day waterproof wear, fragrance-free, suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. It is also ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested.


My point of view :
It is a pretty good mascara, but not the best. It dries out fast when applying, so I can apply only one thick coat. On the second coat, the mascara begins to make clumps and flakes.

If you are in a hurry and want a natural look, you may use this mascara. But, don't use it for a party or a night out for example. I personally use it for a day-time natural look.

This mascara only brings length to lashes and any volume, unlike its promises.
The first good point is that it is not so liquid, this don't smudge, well, not really.






This is a pretty good brush, which is the second and last good point. I think that it is just the wrong formula. I've been using this mascara since 3 months, but not on a regular basis. I will use it for 1 more month. Once finished, I will keep the brush for applying another mascara.

You can do this as well, but be cautious and hygienic. Use hot water, shampoo to wash the brush. Let it dry, clean it a second time with a toner, using a piece of cloth. There it is!

Thank you for reading my review. Feel free to ask for advice below or via Facebook-Nadiah Soosor, or follow me. And, if you wish to read a product's review that I don't reviewed, Don't be afraid to write down the product's name and brand in the comment box or via Facebook, as usual. I will make my best to help you.

Sunkissed Giant Bronzer Review

Hola!

On my recent post, I said that I will make a review on my bronzing blush and there it is.
I have the Sunkissed Giant Bronzer in Medium and it is just THE bronzing powder!

"The Sunkissed Giant Bronzing compact has been the best seller for Sunkissed Cosmetics for the last 7 years.
The soft velvety powder in the matte finish and the combination of duo bronze shades will give you a perfect natural glow all year round."



In fact, I had the one from Réserve Naturelle (Terre de soleil-Blusher) but it's almost finished, so I bought this one to give it a try and I have no regrets!

It is composed of 2 shades of brown,the darker has a sun-shape whereas the paler is the background and has small stars over. It is a very big compact bronzer.




It has a powdery scent and is hygienic if you use it alone. Don't forget to wash your brushes regularly, and to purchase good quality brushes, maybe more expensive but will last forever and finally spend much less money. Good quality ones also avoid cheap looking results.

It gives a matte finish, with occasional or very little sparkles; they are noticeable only in sunlight or direct light.
I use it almost everyday and it is an all year round bronzer, thanks to its 2 tones. It is also good for contouring.
It lasts long on my face. I mostly use only a toner and moisturizer before.

For the price, simply, wow! This was unexpected. In the beginning, I thought that this will not be a so-good bronzer, because it was so cheap. And then, I could not not believe this. So little money for such a good blush! I can even say that it is like the more expensive ones, for example : the Bourjois Maxi Delight Bronzer.

Also, I've seen that there is Tocopheryl Acetate in the ingredient list, that is, vitamin E and this is a good point for a better looking skin.

As always, you are free to comment below or to ask for tips and advice on Facebook-Nadiah Soosor, you may follow me.

Réserve Naturelle Make-up Palette Review

Hello.
One of my Christmas's gifts was a make-up palette; the Réserve Naturelle Make-up Palette and I'm going to make its review.






So, the black palette comes in a box of the same color. It is rectangular with cubic designs on it.

It consists of :

  • 8 eye shadows - white, beige, gray, green, brown, blue, purple, black.
  • 3 eyebrows shadows of 3 different shades of brown.
  • 1 pink blush.
  • 3 applicators.
  • 1 mirror.




The eye shadows are shiny and do not last long, maybe for 2-3 hours. Sometimes, I use it for highlights.

The blush is matte, so there will be any sparkles on your face. It is a good one, but I prefer bronzing blush (will make a review).

The applicators are basic, I use them to make up my eyes.

And finally, the eyebrows shadows.
This is the best part of the palette, for me. I love these eyebrows shadows; simple, matte, different shades. I even use its applicators to put it on. They give a good coverage and are also discrete. They last much longer than the eye shadows.

I think that I've told you the necessary. Please comment below for any questions.

Revlon ColorStay Lipstick Review

Hello!

I apologise for my absence. I am always busy in my studies, but now, I'm making an effort to give you a make-up review.

It's the Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick.





"This velvety soft formula with moisturizing shea butter and aloe is food proof and does not quit. 20 shades. Apply once and go."

I have the 080 Fashionista one. It is in a cylinder-shape, transparent, plastic container, in which there is another plastic opaque one.

Fashionista is a matte, red and garnet, with a little touch of solid pink lipstick. It would say that it is a dark reddish pink one. I love this color.


It really stays and when it fades away, your lips still retain the color. It does not contain any sparkles or shiny stuffs and this is a good point for me.

Unless you use a lip balm before application or a lip gloss afterwards; you will get a matte full coverage finish. It is tasteless and does not have a noticeable scent.

It sticks well to your lips without that sticky, glue-like feel. It is has a drying effect, so if you have dry lips, I would recommend you to put on lip balm before.

To conclude, I think that this is value for money. Not shiny at all, not flavored, hygienic, long-lasting. There is also a variety of colors.

It's like velvet on my lips!

If you have any more questions, just write it down, or ask me via Facebook-Nadiah Soosor, or follow me.

Vaseline Healthy Hand & Nail Conditioning Review

Hi!
I have a hand lotion called the 'Vaseline Hand And Nail Conditioning' with keratin and vitamin E since a while, and I think that it's time to make its review.



It has a pink plastic packaging, with informations about the product, an expiry date and an ingredient list.
It should be squeezed to obtain the product, so it prevents bacteria proliferation which is a good point.

The ingredient list is long and full of chemicals and also contains hydrolysed keratin and aloe barbedensis (aloe vera).

"It is formulated just for your hands.
Clinically proven to hydrate dry hands and strengthen brittle nails.
It nourishes for softer skin, knuckles, smother cuticles, and stronger nails.
It's specifically developed to make nails 30% stronger."


My point of view :
It's a good hand lotion if you have dry skin. Your nails are more shiny and whiter only when you apply it and don't last for that much time. You should reapply it each time you wash your hands.


It is not expensive at all and is a basic hand lotion.
It is light and absorbs quickly, and makes your hands soft. It has a pretty good scent that lasts for about 1 hour.


This lotion also has some calming and cooling properties. You may apply it on burned skin (sunburn, kitchen burns).

I would recommend this to anyone having dry or normal skin.


If you have any questions, just write it down or ask me via Facebook-Nadiah Soosor or follow me .

Vatika Almond Hair Oil Review

Hello!
Today I'm making the review of one of the famous Indian's brand hair oil, the Dabur Vatika Almond Enriched Hair Oil.




The oil's name already says it - It is enriched with almond oil. But also contains coconut and sesame oils.


It helps soften, moisturize and condition the hair - giving your hair silky softness and shine.

Almond - Conditions your hair to make it soft.
Coconut - Penetrates hair shaft to strengthen and is known to make it thick.
Sesame - Coats the hair and gives it shine.

It is in a plastic transparent bottle, with a brown cap.
The oil is brown, translucent and not so thick. It also smells good.

My point of view :
I use this oil as a hair treatment before shampoo.
I use it frequently, maybe once per week. I put it all over my hair with circular movements in the evening and let it soak all night then wash it the next evening or put it in the morning and wash my hair at night. But you can let it soak for a maximum of 3 hours.


Sometimes, I also heat it lightly before application. It is said to improve the oil's benefits.
You may then use only shampoo. I prefer to use the shampoo (wash twice), conditioner and sometimes hair mask as well for a really deep treatment.


I've seen that it helps with hair growth. In fact, all hair oils help with hair growth. It also helps in dry hair, thus minimizing damaged, dry hair and split ends.


I love using hail oils. It's natural and does not cost a lot. It is a healthy way to make your hair beautiful. I also use other brands of hair oil but which always contain almond oil.

Almond oil is the best ever hair oil. Compared to other oils, this one really takes care of my hair and smells much better.

I would prefer to recommend the Bajaj Almond Drops Hair Oil rather than the Vatika one as it works best.

Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel Review

Hello!
This is the review of the Eau Thermale Avène Cleanance Cleansing Gel.
It is a soapless face wash which is translucent and blue. It has a basic packaging with a sealed "left-right turn" cap, which is hygienic and easy to open. It does not have a strong scent, but a more fresh one.
" Concentrated Cucurbita extract in a gentle cleansing base. This is a non-irritating purifying gel with Glyceryl laurate which reduces excess oil/sebum. Use morning and evening, provides skin with a sensation of freshness and well-being. Apply to moist face, lather up, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. "
My point of view :
This is my best ever face wash.
I've been using this since last year and it has amazing results on my skin. I don't feel any tightness, irritations or redness when using it. It is gentle to my face and does not cause further breakouts.
It is cheap and is really better than the higher price ones. The 200ml bottle lasts for about 3 months and it is a very concentrated one, thick enough and foams well. So a small amount (a pea-sized blob) is needed to wash the entire face and neck. It's best to invest in; saves money!
I use it twice daily, and sometimes more to refresh my skin. It removes dirt, make-up and excess oil, accelerates my breakouts dry out time and prevents further ones.
I recommend buying this if you have combination/oily skin like me. But all skin types can use it too as it is not that harsh to the skin.

Avène TriAcnéal Review

Hello!
So, this is my first review and I will give you my best.
The Eau Thermale Avène Triacnéal is an acne treatment cream or skin care for oily, blemish-prone skin. It is yellow and has a fresh scent, occasionally strong. The packaging is hygienic as you don't need to put your fingers in it to get some. Just need to squeeze it out.
It is mainly composed of Effectiose®, Glycolic Acid, Retinaldehyde and the well-known Avène Thermal Spring Water.
It is supposed to :
-Limit new breakouts, prevent spots, blemishes and finally remove acne and residual marks.
-Have a superficial peeling effect.
-Have a smoothing effect on skin surface.
-Have a sort of anti-ageing property due to the Retinaldehyde. (Retinol)
-Calm down irritations and diminish redness.
My point of view :
I simply love it! I have occasional breakouts (luckily not severe acne), and I've been using it for ages! It is the only acne treatment that really worked for me. Supposed to be applied every night, I don't use it for more that 3 times in a row, but always at night as it has a very irritating effect when applied during the day, due to its composition.
That is, I use it for 3 nights, then take a break for 1 night or 2 (where I apply an hydrating nightcream-will make a review, or nothing at all), then continue the process.
It tickles lightly every time I use it and that's normal. When I wake up, I get that amazing soft and oil-free skin. I even have a better looking and glowing skin. In the beginning, some spots may appear or you may feel like having tight and dry skin/rash because of the cream but this proves that it's really working. You may see satisfying results within 1 month, depending on the severity of your acne.
It also clear out some acne marks,but not completely.
Just give it time and you won't regret. It's not so cheap, but it is really value for money. Being only 30ml, mine lasts for atleast 2 to 3 months! I use it after washing my face with the Avène Cleanance Gel (will also make a review!) and use a good moisturiser with SPF during the day.
Avoid sun exposure during treatment as it may aggravate your skin. Also, exfoliate weekly.
Of course, we all don't have the same skin type, mine is combination/oily skin so I don't promise that you will have the same results.
Note that you may have yellow nails when applying it, so be cautious, wash your hands after use. Pillowcase should be changed atleast 2 times per week for a good hygiene and also, this product stains.
I think I told you the necessary.
If you have any questions, just comment it down or simply ask me it via Facebook - Nadiah Soosor, or follow me.
