Streax Refreshing Peach Love Perfumed Body Mist

Streax Refreshing Peach Love Perfumed Body Mist: A body spray is a must for all the girls out there. It not only adds an enchanting scent to your body but also imparts a feeling of freshness. But it is quite difficult to pick one which can suit your taste.

With so many brands emerging out nowadays, selecting one perfume which stays for long hours and does not have an overpowering scent is very hard.

Over the years I have preferred body mists over deodorants as they have a more subtle smell and the texture is also lighter. Among all the body mists I have used, Streax Peach Love body mist provided me with the perfect sweet scent which I always wanted in my body mists and also the scent did not just vanish after a few hours but stayed for long.

  2. Hold the bottle 15 cm away and spray all over the body.
  3. Do not spray on cuts or wounds.

My experience with Streax Refreshing Peach Love Perfumed Body Mist

 

After using deodorants and perfumes for so many years, I finally decided to try body mists. None of them could satisfy in terms of scent and longevity. Then I came across the new range of body mists introduced by Streax a few years back. I really liked all their varieties as every product provided me with a scent which lasts for hours. However, Peach love perfume just took me to another world. I really enjoyed the scent and the freshness it gave me.

I have never liked perfumes which are too strong and overpowering and if you are in my team too then I can guarantee that this is the scent you are looking for.

With packaging so light and small, you can just fit it in your purse before leaving your home. Even if a small amount is applied, it provides the sweet, fruity smell for hours.

 

Positives:
  1. The sweet, fruity smell which is not too strong.
  2. Stays for up to 5 hours after application.
  3. Travel-friendly packaging.
  4. Easy to apply.
  5. Does not cause any irritation to your skin.
  6. Does not stain if applied on clothes.
  7. Pocket-friendly.
  8. Can be used regularly.
Negatives:
  1. Does not stay for the whole day.
  2. Does not fulfill your criteria if you want to wear a strong smell.
Would I recommend?

The body mist has a light texture with a sweet natural smell which is just what I want in a perfume. So, I would absolutely recommend as well as repurchase the product.

My experience with Victorias Secret Lotion : Pure Seduction

I am a big fan of lotions which smell good, so this product turned out to be a gem for me. The scent of the lotion appears to be of strawberries and freesia which has a sweet candy smell.

The lotion does not make the body too oily. It provides a perfect moisturizing feel and keeps the body hydrated for a long duration.

Whenever I travel, it is a product which I definitely include in my bag due to its travel-friendly packaging.

It has other ingredients like Vitamin E and C which have a medicinal effect on the skin and keeps it glowing. The lotion spreads evenly throughout the body. The fragrance is not too overpowering so the product can be used on a daily basis.

However, I need to apply the lotion twice in day as its effect lasts only for 8 hours. Also the product is not paraben free which concerns me a bit.

Anyhow, this lotion will be one of my favorites as I love to smell good! Really good!

But as for me, I would repurchase this product for sure as it serves the purpose of a lotion and moisturizer as well as a perfume.

Having recently coloured my hair, I was experiencing roughness and frizziness for quite a while. Whenever I used to wash my hair I also had a fear of losing some colour. But then I came across this product and voila, it really worked wonders.

My hair did not get too oily but at the same time remained lustrous and the hair texture was also improving for sure. And not to forget the fragrance that it adds to your hair is just breath taking.

The packaging is standard like all other Biotique products and definitely leak free. Due to its small size, it can be carried anywhere you go.

Skin damage due to the sun is one of our biggest concerns during summer and with summer on its way every girl should be ready with her best plan to dodge the sun.

My experience with Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Aloe Vera Sun Screen Gel SPF 20

 

  • Packaging: The packaging is in the form of a tube with a flip cap attached to it. The package color is a light shade of sea green with a lot of graphics on it. The gel is easy to squeeze out from the tube and is definitely leak proof. The attractive packaging was one of the reasons why I wanted to buy the product.

Overall performance of Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Aloe Vera Sun Screen Gel SPF 20

 

I have had bad experiences with a lot of sunscreens before. Some caused excessive sweating, some provided very less sun protection and some caused breakouts.

But I have not experienced any of such things with this product. A very light and refreshing gel which protects my skin during the day effectively without causing any breakouts and without making my skin too oily. Also, I love that the product is herbal and does not have a long-term damaging effect on my skin.

I just wish that the SPF was a little more in the product so that it did not need to be applied after every 90 minutes. However, the product is cost effective with respect to its content.

 

Would I Recommend?

 

Yes, it serves as a great sunscreen lotion which is perfect for those who require low SPF content and also nongreasy skin. I would definitely recommend as well as repurchase it.

Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black 5

An eye liner or definer is a prime stepping stone towards having the perfect eye makeup. Our look is greatly enhanced on having a good eye makeup.

However, not all of us are comfortable with liquid liners as we are drowned in the fear of messing it up. No one wants black patches around her eyes before leaving home, right?

After facing the same problem myself, for years, I came across this amazing product by Chambor. The Chambor eye definer not only dries within seconds of applying, but also is quite simpler to apply as compared to other water based liners.

Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black

Basic Information of Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black

 

The liner comes in a navy container with a long applicator. The cap can be opened by rotating it in anti-clockwise direction. Once applied, it leaves a silky pitch black matte line which looks gorgeous on your eye lids.

The applicator is firm which helps to apply the liner more easily without any messy strokes. The texture of the liner is basically water based and flowy but once it is applied it changes into a matte dry look within seconds. One stroke of application is enough to get a pitch black line. Hence, the product can be used for quite a long duration.

The removal is quite easy and can be done with just wet cotton. No black spots or pigmentation occurs after removal, so it is quite hassle free.

Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black 1

 

Price: INR 895

Net Content : 3.5 ml

 

 

Brand Claims :

  • Smudge proof
  • Silky matte finish
  • Precise application
  • Quick drying
  • Lasts all day
  • Water resistant
  • Opthalmologically tested

 

Ingredients :

Water, alcohol denat, glycerin, coco-glucoside, ethylhexylglycerin, ammonium acrylates, xamthan gum, tocopherol, sorbic acid.

 

How to Use:

  • Open the applicator by turning the cap anti-clockwise.
  • Apply a fine stoke on your eyelids easily with the firm grip applicator.

Best Before: 35 months from packaging

Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black 3

 

My experience with the Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black

 

For a very long time I was in the search of a liquid liner with a good applicator. Sure, I bumped into many other products from different brands. Finally, when I started using Chambor eye definer, I could feel the difference. The applicator is incredible which allows you to draw strokes of different length and width very easily.

The colour of the liner is also exactly how I wanted it to be, pitch black. Also, it dries really fast, just within some seconds.

One setback of the product is that it is definitely not water resistant. It comes off in flakes once water reaches your eyelids. However, the liner stays on for as long as no water contact is made.

So overall I really liked this product as it fulfils my applicator criteria but it is also a bit pricey if we take other liquid liners into account.

 

Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black 4

Overall performance of Chambor Eye Definer 01 Black

 

Positives:

  • Super quick drying.
  • Long lasting.
  • Pitch black colour.
  • Matte finish.
  • Firm applicator.
  • Easy to remove.
  • Opthalmologically tested.

 

Negatives:

  • Flaky when removed.
  • Not water resistant.
  • Price is high.

 

Would I recommend?

 

If you have the same fear of messing up while applying liquid liners as me then I will definitely recommend you to buy this product. Not only it has a great applicator but also dries in a second. But if you are comfortable with other liquid liners then there is no point of investing such a huge price for a liner.

My experience with L’Oreal go 360  Clean Anti Breakout Facial Cleanser

 

I purchased this product because of its promise of anti-breakout and I am glad to announce that it does not break that promise. Though the product did not work wonders on my acne which were already present but it sure did not cause any more of them.

The most amazing fact about this product is that only one drop of it lathers up the whole face. So, basically it is long lasting. Due to its clear texture it gives you a fresh feel and it actually cleans the face thoroughly and removes all impurities from the skin.

Yes, the price is a little on the up side but I was actually able to use the product for a very long time which totally compensates the price.

The packaging is tight with no scope of leakage and it is quite easy to use as it comes with an attached flip cap. The outlet is narrow enough to get precisely one drop if less quantity is required.

The scrublet contains small bristles and dots which deep cleanses the face. Not that it totally removes blackheads but it gives your nose a soft texture and a vibrant skin.

Pros :

  • Minimizes pores
  • Attractive packaging

Cons :

Would I recommend?

If you have rough skin with acne problem then just go for it. Even if it does not completely remove blackheads but still it makes your skin visibly cleaner and brighter. The content is also worth the price. So, overall I would definitely recommend this product.
