VLCC Lovable Lips Lip blams Review


I'm a lip balm hoarder (Read : Make-up hoarder). I have tons and tons of it and I still feel I can never have enough. When I find a lip balm which is not just attractive looking, but is also affordable, I can't help immediately trying to grab it!

Today in the review : VLCC Lovable Lips

Price : Rs.125 /-
Quantity : 4.5g
Shelf Life - 3 Years

Packaging - Comes in a chapstick like packaging. The outer packing is of a similar color as that suggested by variant.


My experience with VLCC Lovable Lips :

These lip balms are part of my bag which I take with me for swimming. Before entering the pool and after taking the clean-up shower, hydrating and moisturizing my lips becomes a priority.


Something that I have noticed about these lip balms is that they are super hard to glide onto my lips, and they do not provide long lasting moisturization either.

I have to use it frequently and even after doing so, I have not seen any effect in solidification of these - They are still very hard to glide.

These are not super tinted or amazingly hydrating. These are definitely not meant for deep winters and dry weathers. Though for summers, they can be an ideal choice, as these are not heavy on the lips and also provides an SPF of 15.

Rating - 2.5 / 5


Overall Thoughts :  the formulation of these lip balms are not hydrating enough, and end up settling into fine lines, so I won't recommend this for winters. But for summers, they become an affordable option with the added bonus of giving you that SPF 15 protection. So if you are reading this in summer, go for it!

VLCC Matte Look Sunscreen Lotion. SPF 30 - Review


Summers, Scorching heat and tanning - Sounds like a familiar story right in summers. My make-up goes minimal and I become extra careful about my sunscreen routine. And now that I am swimming regularly, it is an absolute must! The wonderful people at VLCC sent over a skin care range, which is a must for summers.

My experience with VLCC Matte look Sunscreen Lotion


I've been using this lotion for quite some time now. This is probably my fourth or fifth tube! Over the years, the price has increased, but not steeply. It is still super affordable. I apply it every day on my face and neck, atleast fifteen minutes before stepping out. It claims total protection from the harmful VVA and VVB rays, and I feel it works, because my skin does not burn when exposed to the sun, and even the tan is hardly noticeable, even after extended periods.


It leaves the skin feeling fresh, clean, and supple. My only complaint wit the product is the matte look doesn't sustain for long, but at the same time, it doesn't make my skin look greasy, oily, or sweaty. So a big thumbs up for that!

I feel regular usage of this cream has also helped my skin retain its supple and even texture.

Will I buy it again? Yes of course! It is a must have during summers for my skincare routine. My mom is also a huge fan of this product!

Overall, this is an amazing product which is affordable and does what it claims. For this price and superb quality, I would suggest that you go for it!


Rating – 4.5/5 ( Highly Recommended!!)

Omved Hydrating Face Mist; Perfect Mist for Summers !

Summers are here and honestly, I hate this season. Scorching heat and sun burns. All I want to do during this weather is to lock myself in a fully air conditioned room and eat mangoes; but that’s not how life works. Well, I can never stop ranting about how horrible summers are, so let’s just cut it there and move to real business.

Omved Hydrating Face Mist.

Today, I'm going to review Omved Hydrating Face mist. In this searing heat, a cooling and refreshing face mist is a must. It works as a rejuvenating therapy in the middle of the day, when you are struggling with heat and sweat. I have been using this mist for 3 weeks now and I love it.

PRODUCT CLAIMS

An aromatic facial mist to revitalize and tone your skin. In a base of pure Himalayan Spring water, this face spritz contains a blend of pure therapeutic-grade essential oils that repair, restore and replenish.

PRICE- Rs. 590 
QUANTITY- 100 ml


Available at Nykaa, Amazon, Omved and other online sites

INGREDIENTS

Excellent Bottle Label 

Himalayan spring water, tween 20 and oils of lavender, juniper berry and petit grain.

*Juniper Berry balances skin and regulates sebum production
*Lavender soothes sunburns.
*Petit grain tones open pores and refreshes.

PACKAGING
High Quality Spray Nozzle !

Face mist comes in a sturdy plastic bottle with spray nozzle. Bottle looks quite stylish but it’s not see-through. The quality of the spray nozzle is really good and it sprays the adequate amount of product.

Direction to Use

Shake well. Close eyes and spray lightly on your face, from about 5 inches away. Leave to dry natural

MY EXPERIENCE
SLS, Parabens Free - Organic & Natural Product

I carry this bottle everywhere with me while travelling, in my handbag since the time I got my hands on it. The texture of the product is very watery like and just few spritz are enough to refresh me. It works great as toner too; though I don’t have large pores but around the nose and chin it has helped in toning the opening pores to a great extent.

After spraying the mist, one might feel little burning sensation around the affected area, but that subsides within few seconds. I let this mist dry naturally. 

Omved Hydrating Mist work wonderfully in reducing tanning and sun burns. For me, this mist worked as a magic on zits. I got rid of a painful pimple within few hours.
The only downside, in my opinion is its overwhelming strong fragrance (My S.O. loves it though. *Freak Alert*). I would prefer a fragrance which is soothing and reminds me of spring; soft, floral fragrance types. Apart from fragrance, the price is little steep.

RATINGS-    Efficacy and Fragrance- 4/5
                                Packaging- 4.5/5
                              Availability – 4.5/5
                         Value for Money- 4/5

OVERALL RATING - 4.5/5   
             
Perfect Skin-care friend for Summers ! 
RECOMMENDED- I highly recommend this mist as it is sure to work wonders during the terrible heat. It works well for all skin types and I feel it’s one product worth investing in during summers.
