My Experience with The Face Shop Brightening Face Mask

Packaging

The Face Mask comes in a flat packet that has a slightly glossy look and has a matte finish. The packaging is strong. No chance of any leakage. There is an area on the top left corner of the packet which is slightly ripped so that you can twist that place and easily tear the packet open to take the mask out. The Mask is wrapped around a film to protect it from any wear or tear. The packet is slim and small which makes it perfect for travel.

Consistency

The serum is not very thick. Neither is it runny like water. It stays on the skin but also does not feel sticky.

Effects

The Brightening Face Mask made my skin feel fresh and cool after application. Though it did not necessarily brighten the dullness greatly, it did rejuvenate the skin and made it feel smooth and soft. It removed the impurities and brought the skin back to its supple state. But the effects barely lasted two days. Like its other sheet masks, The Face ShopThe Solution Brightening face mask also has short-term effects and needs continuous reapplication.

The Face Shop The Solution Brightening Face Mask 4

Pros
  1. Skin feels fresh and cool
  2. Rejuvenates the skin
  3. Skin feels soft and Smooth
  4. The serum is not sticky or runny
  5. Easy to apply
  6. Reasonably priced
  7. Travel-friendly
Cons
  1. The effects do not last long
  2. Have applied twice or thrice a week.
  3. Does not brighten the skin
Would I Recommend and Repurchase?

Yes, I do recommend this sheet mask for those of you who need to cheer up your tired skin after a long day. And as for repurchase, I most probably will not repurchase this one but will go for the other masks from this range.

Garnier Light Complete Yoghurt Night Cream Review

by Deepsikha Majumdar
written by Deepsikha Majumdar

Who is it for? Garnier Light Complete Yoghurt Night Cream is for those of you looking for an affordable lightening night cream that is lightweight.

Garnier Light Complete Yoghurt Night Cream

Price

Rs. 115 for a tub containing 18g of the cream.

Sensitive Skin Alert

Do not apply to the delicate eye contour area or on irritated skin.

Natural/ Vegan/ Organic

Not Mentioned.

How to Use It

To be done before going to bed.

  1. Cleanse your face and neck.
  2. Spread the cream evenly all over your face and your neck.
  3. No need to rinse it off.

My Experience with the Garnier Light Cream

Packaging

The cream comes in a small yellow tub with a white lid. That, in turn, is placed inside a cardboard box with flaps. You need to scoop out the cream with your fingers. Unfortunately, they don’t come with a spatula.

Consistency and Texture

The cream is not very thick. But it isn’t runny either. It feels very light on the skin and is absorbed into it fairly fast. There is no sticky or cakey feeling once you apply it. The cream is white in color and blends into the skin after a couple of rubs.

Fragrance

This one has a very strong lemony fragrance that lingers for a long time.

Effects

I have been using this cream for about a month now. The cream lives up to its claim of nourishing the dull skin to make it look rejuvenated. It makes my skin soft and smooth every morning. It certainly makes my skin look happy and healthy. But as far as its claim of fairer skin and reducing dark spots go it isn’t as efficient. Even though the skin does get a healthy glow, it hasn’t experienced any significant brightening since I started using this one. And as far as reducing the dark spots go, it does reduce them, but at a very slow pace. But otherwise, this works pretty well. It fixes all my dry patches and hasn’t caused any new breakouts on my skin. The only drawback this has, for me at least, is its overwhelming fragrance. I love lemony scents. But this one is so strong that at times it becomes unbearable.

Positives

  1. Rejuvenates the skin
  2. Makes it smooth and soft
  3. Adds a healthy glow to the skin
  4. Fixes all the dry patches of skin
  5. Does not feel sticky on the skin
  6. Is absorbed into the skin fairly fast
  7. Blends into the skin with just a couple of rubs
  8. Reasonably Priced
  9. Travel-Friendly

Cons

  1. Overwhelming Fragrance
  2. Does not make the skin fair
  3. Reduces dark spots very slowly
  4. No Spatula

Would I Recommend and Repurchase?

I do recommend this for those of you who have no problem with its strong fragrance. But as far as I’m concerned, I won’t repurchase this one, only because of the fragrance.

Dirty Works Crème De La Crème Creamy Body Wash Review

by Deepsikha Majumdar
written by Deepsikha Majumdar

Body Washes play an important part in making us feel clean and fresh so that we can head into a new day happily. This is something which is a must-have for me. I love body washes so much that I buy myself a new one the moment the old one goes below the halfway line so that I am never without a body wash.I also like trying out different fragranced body washes. Of course, I have my favorites, but trying out new fragrances is exciting as well.  While looking for new body washes a month back, I was overjoyed to find out that Nykaa had a wide range of Dirty Works products ranging from body washes to Hand creams. Dirty Works is an England based brand. But now it is available worldwide. I immediately purchased a few of their products including the Dirty Works Crème De La Crème Creamy Body Wash and will be reviewing it here today!

Dirty Works Crème De La Crème Creamy Body Wash 1

Price

Rs. 450 for a 200ml/ 6.7 fl oz bottle on the Nykaa App and stores.

How to Use It
  1. Pour the few drops of this creamy body wash onto your loofah.
  2. Spread it all over your body with help of the loofah.
  3. Use the loofah in circular motions all over your body to form the soapy and foamy lather that will help clean your skin.
  4. Rinse it off thoroughly with water.

My Experience with the Dirty Works Crème De La Crème Creamy Body Wash

Packaging

Dirty Works has always been famous for their quirky and bright packaging. Most of their products have either bright orange, purple or pink packaging. The Crème De La Crème Creamy Body Wash comes in a peach colored tube that has a bright orange flip open cap, which is the most convenient kind of cap when it comes to body washes as it limits the amount of body wash you are pouring out.  There are funky designs and photos all over the tube that makes it extremely eye-catching and inviting. Also, this tube, though not very small, can easily fit into the handbag making it travel-friendly as the cap of the tube is strong enough to prevent any sort of leakage.

Consistency

It is a creamy white soapy solution. It lathers quite easily and cleans the skin deeply. It requires quite an amount of water to wash off the skin.

Fragrance

I absolutely love the smell of this body wash. It has a very addictive floral kind of smell. But the fragrance also has a sort of tanginess to it which makes it so addictive.

Effects

I am so glad that I bought this body wash. Starting from the packaging and ending at the fragrance, I love each and every aspect of the body wash. It not only deep cleans the skin, but also makes it extremely velvety and smooth. Therefore their claim that the Macadamia and Argan Oil blend nourishes the skin stands true.  The only disappointment about the body wash was the fact that its fragrance doesn’t last as long as I hoped it would. Besides that, this is now on top of my favorite body wash lists!

Dirty Works Crème De La Crème Creamy Body Wash 4

Positives
  1. Quirky and Eye-catching Packaging
  2. Amazing fragrance
  3. Cleans deeply
  4. Nourishes the skin
  5. Skin feels velvety and smooth after application
  6. Reasonable priced
  7. Travel friendly
Negatives
  1. The fragrance does not last very long.
Would I Recommend and Repurchase

Yes, I will definitely recommend this. This is a very effective body wash at its price. I do plan to repurchase it, but I would also like to try out their other body washes!

Hi ladies!How often do you all change shampoos?I’m usually not big on changing shampoos and that is owing to the eternal dandruff problems I have. They just refuse to go away. So I use only those ones that are successful in battling this stubborn issue.But two weeks back, my sister purchased a new shampoo for herself. And the packaging really caught my eye and so I decided to give it a try. Yes, I know weird reason to try a new shampoo! So today I’ll be telling you how the Delon Shampoo with Macadamia Oil worked for me!

Delon Shampoo with Macadamia Oil Review | Softness and Strength ?

Price

Rs. 549 for a bottle containing 354 ml of the shampoo. I bought this from Spencers, the departmental store. But this is also available on Nykaa and Amazon, online.

How to Use?
  1. Wet your hair properly.
  2. Apply the appropriate amount of the wet hair.
  3. Massage gently working up a rich lather.
  4. Then rinse thoroughly.

My Experience with Delon Shampoo with Macadamia Oil

Packaging

The shampoo comes in a pretty brownish maroon bottle. While it isn’t totally transparent, the shampoo is visible from the outside. The bottle has a press open lid and can be poured into the palm by squeezing the bottle lightly. The packaging is quite sturdy and the bottle is slim enough to be taken on travels!

Texture and Consistency

The shampoo is almost like water, where its color is concerned, but it has a slight yellowish tint. The shampoo isn’t runny like water. It has a gooey texture like most other shampoos. It lathers quite well once I start massaging it.

Fragrance

The shampoo has a very strong fragrance that is a mixture of a sweet and salty smell. It makes the hair smell pleasant after shampooing and stays for almost three days!

Effects

I have always had wavy hair. And sometimes I get upset how they curl up in the end because the real length of my hair is never understood. But when I applied this shampoo, as promised this one did make my hair silky and smooth. But along with it, the shampoo also made my hair naturally straight which stayed for three and a half days. This made me ecstatic. Also, the softness that this shampoo gave my hair, made me fall in love with it. And yes, it also dealt well with dandruff.

So all in all, I loved this shampoo!

Nykaa Nail Enamel Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream Review

written by Deepsikha Majumdar

Nykaa Nail Enamel Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream Review: Hey ladies!Did you get to try out different colored nail paints this festive season? Well, I did because just before the season started I bought myself a couple of new nail paints from Nykaa.I have already reviewed some of their nail enamels for you all and today I’ll be telling you about two more nail enamel shades from their collection, namely – Orange Fizz and Marshmallow dream. So let’s begin!

Nykaa Nail Enamel Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream

Basic Info About Nykaa Nail Enamel Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream

Price

Orange Fizz – Rs. 179 for a 9ml bottle

Marshmallow Dream – Rs. 179 for a 9ml bottle

Nykaa Nail Enamel Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream 1

My Experience with the Nykaa Nail Enamels in the Shades Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream

Orange Fizz

Appearance

This one is a very bright orange shade. Once you put it on, it will most definitely arrest everyone’s attention. This shade matches fair to neutral skin tone. This one looks best when contrasted with light colored outfits. A summery color, this one is most suited for daytime outings.

The texture of this nail enamel is slightly on the thicker side. You need at least two to three applications to master the art of applying smoothly with its brush, or it tends to look gloopy. Also applying more than one coat makes it look thicker. So it’s best to stick to one.

How long does it last?

This nail enamel lasted for about five days before starting to slowly chip off. So keep reapplying if you want it to stay longer.

Nykaa Nail Enamel Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream 2

Marshmallow Dream

Appearance

Before this, I’ve never bought white colored nail paint. But I just couldn’t resist trying out this one. The shade marshmallow dream is a bright shade as well. Another summery shade, this one is a perfect match with everyday college or work outfits. Simple yet classy this shade is bright enough for both morning and evening outings. This shade also matches fair to neutral skin tone.

The texture of this one is also semi thick. More than one coat makes it look thick and patchy. This one takes a longer time to dry.

How long does it last?

It lasted for just four days before starting to chip off. I hoped it would last longer, but it disappointed me.

Nykaa Nail Enamel Orange Fizz and Marshmallow Dream 3

Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Mask Strawberry Review

by Deepsikha Majumdar
written by Deepsikha Majumdar

Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Mask Strawberry: Hey Ladies!Are you all set to combat the winters?If not, then it’s high time you go for that winter beauty shopping spree right now, so that you can stock up the moisturizers, shampoos and other items that’ll help you deal with the ruthless, cold winds!While cream moisturizers definitely do the trick, when you want to fix dry skin, there is another alternative that helps to fix winter skin as well. And that would be sheet masks. Though sheet masks offer temporary skin solutions, they prove to be quite effective during this season.

So, today I’ll be reviewing the Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Strawberry sheet mask. Let’s find out how it worked!

Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Mask Strawberry

Basic Info About Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Mask Strawberry

What is It?

The Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Mask Strawberry, is a sheet mask that would help you to achieve soft and smooth skin with the help of the Strawberry extract!

What Does the Brand Claim?

The Innisfree It’s real Squeeze Mask Strawberry has moisture from squeezed strawberries which leaves skin looking smooth and bright.

Price

Rs. 100 for one sheet mask containing 0.67 FL.OZ/ 20 ml of the serum.

How to Use It?
  1. After washing your face, apply a toner to even out the texture of your skin.
  2. Apply the mask on your face properly adjusting the holes for the eyes and the lips.
  3. Remove the mask after about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Pat the remaining serum into your face until it is absorbed, instead of washing it off.

My Experience with the Innisfree It’s real Squeeze Mask Strawberry

Packaging

The Innisfree sheet masks have always had a simple yet pretty packaging. It comes in a white colored packet which has a matte finish. This one has photos of yummy strawberries on it. The mask is securely folded within. The package has two small slits on the top right corner and the top left corner which makes it easier to rip open the packet to take out the mask. There is no chance of leakage as the packaging is sturdy. Also as the packet is slim and not too big, it is can easily fit into the handbag.

Consistency

The serum contained in the sheet mask isn’t too thick. Neither is it runny like water. It doesn’t stick to the skin but sits on it comfortably, until it is completely absorbed.

Fragrance

This sheet mask has a wonderful strawberry smell that is not too overpowering, neither too mild. But unfortunately, the fragrance isn’t long lasting.

Effects

This mask is by far the best Innisfree mask I’ve used yet. Not only did it fix the dryness on my face, but it also left my skin feeling super soft and smooth. It didn’t cause any breakouts. And most importantly, its effects lasted for almost 4 days for me. This is the first time that the effects of a sheet mask lasted this long for me and I felt ecstatic.

Pros
  1. Moisturises the skin

  5. Reasonably priced
  6. Travel friendly
Cons
  1. None for me!
Would I Recommend and Repurchase?

Yes! Without a doubt! All of you should try this one. And I’ve already repurchased it!

LA Girl Highlight and Contour |Price| Review|Swatches

by Deepsikha Majumdar
written by Deepsikha Majumdar

Contouring the face is an important thing if you wish to achieve the sculpted look. But if you don’t get the shades right, it might end up being a complete disaster. Therefore you need to choose the shades that match your skin. Up until now, I have always used powder contours. But a few weeks back I spotted the LA Girl Highlight and Contour and it seemed like an interesting product. So I just went ahead and bought myself one, in the shade Fair. Let’s see how it turned out!

LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour

Basic Info About LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour

The LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour is a highlighter and contour duo that helps the face to achieve the sculpted look.

What Does the Brand Claim?

Contouring made easy with color coordinated shades. Available in 8 cream duos. Buttery soft formula melts into the skin for a natural matte finish. The smooth formula blends beautifully for a flawless-looking contour and helps define, sculpt and accentuate your facial features beautifully.

Price

Rs. 675 for a box containing 4.4 gm of the product on the Nykaa App and stores.

Sensitive Skin Alert

In case of irritation, discontinue use.

Natural/ Vegan/ Organic

Not Mentioned

Ingredients

The full list is mentioned at the back of the box.

Shelf Life

36 months

How to Use It

  1. Apply the contour and highlighting cream with your fingers on your face.
  2. Blend with a beauty blender or a flat contouring brush.
  3. If you don’t want to use your fingers during application, you can also apply it with a concealer brush and then blend with your suitable blender or brush.
  4. Apply the amount depending on your look. Lesser for a subtle look and greater for an intense look.

LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour 1

LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour 2

My Experience with LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour

Packaging

The contour- highlighter duo by L.A. Girl Pro comes in a small rectangular box. It has a fiber flap open lid. The box inside has a slanting division which has the highlighter cream on top and the contour cream below it. It doesn’t come with an applicator.  The box is small enough to fit into the handbag. Hence is travel-friendly.

Texture and Consistency

Both the highlighter and contour cream has a smooth texture and gives a matte look once applied. It blends in very well. Also, it is pretty pigmented and hence it works quite well with just a small amount of product.

Fragrance

It has no fragrance of its own.

Effects

The one that I bought is in the shade, Gcc633 Fair. This one is perfect for people with ivory toned skin. I, unfortunately, have a very ghostly pale white complexion. Hence I always have to go for the lightest shade of all the blend-able products.  So for me, this shade was a perfect match.  Also, as I mentioned before, it was my first time using a cream contour. I was quite apprehensive about the results.  But once I used it, all my apprehension flew out the window.

This is a wonderful product and I mean both the highlighter and the contour cream. It blended into my skin very smoothly.  I usually blend the contour cream with an angled beauty blender. As for the highlighter, I use my fingers. Though I wish this came with an applicator of its own, as using the finger might not be convenient all the time, it feels comfortable to use the fingers to apply it.

The highlighting cream is very bright but isn’t very shimmery. So you might need to use an illuminator with your foundation, when you use this product if shimmer is your thing. But for me personally, the less the shimmer, the better. So it’s an absolute thumbs up for me!

LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour 3

Overall Performance of LA Girl Pro Highlight and Contour

Positives

  • Very pigmented
  • Blends smoothly into the skin
  • Small amount of the product can give an intense look
  • The highlighter is bright but not isn’t very shimmery
  • Blends well with angled beauty blender or flat contour brushes
  • Has no fragrance
  • Gives a naturally matte look
  • Sturdy packaging
  • Travel-friendly
  • Value for money

Negatives

  • Does not come with an applicator of its own

Would I Recommend and Repurchase?

Of course! I am going to recommend this for all of you. And if you love cream contours, then this one is a great catch! It’s all because of this one that I’ve become a fan of cream contours! I am definitely going to repurchase this one once I’m done with the current box.

The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Face Cream Review + Price

by Deepsikha Majumdar
written by Deepsikha Majumdar

Another week with a hectic schedule has already begun for me.And because of that, the fight with the heat has become a great problem these days. At the end of the day, my face looks dull and tired. The freshness that it contained at the start of the day is lost by the end of it.As I have combination skin, there are oily patches as well as dry patches on my skin.  So I religiously follow a night-time skincare routine that ensures that the healthy glow on my face is restored in the morning. But besides that, I have recently started using a radiance cream in the morning before I leave the house.This cream is The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Face Cream and I will be telling you my experience with this one today!

The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Cream

Basic info about The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Cream

What is It?

A Radiance Cream brightens then skin and also evens the skin tone to maintain its youthful glow.

What Does the Brand Claim?

This luxurious age-defying formula promotes natural fairness and youthful radiance by diminishing age spots and keeping fine lines at bay.

Price

Rs. 550 for a tub containing 25ml of the cream.

Ingredients

Saffron, Aloe Vera Extract, Grape Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Wheatgerm Oil, Almond Oil. Cream Base, Aroma, Natural Preservatives.

Shelf Life

24 months

Sensitive Skin Alert

No.

Natural/ Organic/ Vegan

Yes, it is a natural as well as a vegan product.

How to Use It

  1. Cleanse and tone your skin.
  2. Smooth a small amount of this cream over your toned skin using gentle upward strokes.

The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Cream 1

My Experience with The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Cream

Packaging

The cream comes in a small white tub with a bright orange lid. There is no spatula for application. If the lid is not shut securely there might be a possibility of leakage. The tub is small enough to fit into a handbag and therefore is travel-friendly.

Texture and Consistency

This cream isn’t as thick as usual creams. It is a bit runny, but not too much. It has a yellowish-white color. The cream smoothes comfortably over the skin and doesn’t feel uncomfortable on it. It is absorbed into the skin fairly fast.

Fragrance

It has a strong smell of Saffron that I love. But it doesn’t stay very long and fades away after a few hours.

Effects

For me personally, this cream worked better as a light moisturizer than a radiance cream. The skin brightening that was promised by the brand isn’t actually effective. It does fix the dry parts of the face. Also, the spot reduction happens but is very slow. Also, the fragrance is quite soothing and the cream makes my face soft and smooth. So though there isn’t any brightening, there is a healthy glow that the skin gives off after the application of this cream.

Also, I wished they did a better job on the packaging. The lid needs to be put back on carefully or it leaks. And I have to dip a finger into the tub to scoop out the cream. It would have been far more hygienic to use a scooping spatula.

The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Cream 3

Overall Performance of The Nature Co Saffron Radiance Cream

Positives

  • Works well as a light moisturizer
  • Makes the skin soft and smooth
  • Adds a healthy glow
  • Pleasant fragrance
  • Travel-Friendly

Negatives

  • No Spatula.
  • The lid should have been stronger
  • No Skin brightening
  • Expensive

Would I Recommend and Repurchase?

Yes, I recommend this one for those of you who want a light moisturizer and also need to fix the tired skin at the end of every day to make it smooth, soft and healthy for the next day.

As for me, I will not be repurchasing this one.

Maybelline Keep Me Coral Lipstick : Review + Swatches !

by Deepsikha Majumdar
written by Deepsikha Majumdar

Hello Ladies!It’s been long since I last reviewed a lipstick.So I thought I’d talk about one today.Lipstick is something that has a permanent place in our handbags whether we are off to work or a trip around the world.  Makeup without a lipstick is incomplete. And therefore, you need to match the shade of your lipstick not only with your outfit but also with the kind of makeup look you intend to go for, whether it’s natural or a glamorous one!Today I’ll be reviewing the Maybelline Superstay Lipstick Keep Me Coral which has been my regular wear lipstick for quite some time now.So let’s get right to the review of this Maybelline 14 hour Lipstick!

Maybelline Superstay Lipstick Keep Me Coral

Basic Info About Maybelline Superstay Lipstick Keep Me Coral

Maybelline Superstay 14Hr lipstick is an exclusive matte, multitasking formula which locks in the color and provides comfortable wear for a beautiful pout that lasts. The high-coverage pigments distribute intense color and are mixed with a setting agent that acts as a base for the lips.

It has an ultra-thin texture which feels light and the waterproof formula makes it refreshingly smudge proof. The alcohol-free, wax free and fragrance-free formula is safe to use and ideal for all skin types and is available in 15 different shades.

Price

Rs. 650 for 3.3g of the product.

Sensitive Skin Alert

No.

Natural/Organic/ Vegan

Maybelline Superstay Lipstick Keep Me Coral 1

My Experience with the Maybelline Superstay 14Hr Lipstick: Keep Me Coral

Packaging

The lipstick comes in a cylindrically shaped tube. The cap is white in color over a transparent base through which the shade is visible. For an application, the lipstick needs to be rolled out anticlockwise. The packaging is sturdy and travels friendly.

Texture

This lipstick feels light on the lips. It has a creamy texture and therefore can be applied on the lips smoothly. It has a shiny and glossy appearance and starts fading out evenly after about five to six hours.

Pigmentation

Keep Me Coral is highly pigmented and just one swipe brings out its real color.

Fragrance

This lipstick has a fragrance that reminds me of vanilla ice cream! I personally love it. But it has no taste.

Effects

I personally love this lipstick. This is my everyday shade because while on one hand, it is eye-catching, on the other hand, it gives a natural look to my face. The best thing about the lipstick is that there is no transference. That is a big plus for me. And not to forget the fact that it doesn’t bleed. Another plus! Also, this shade goes with all kinds of outfits which honestly, makes life much easier!

But the claim that it lasts for 14 hours is most definitely untrue. When I wear this all throughout the day, I need to reapply it a couple of times. But for me, that isn’t a big issue. But this might be an issue for others.

Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Rush Cotton Candy Lip Balm Review

Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Rush Cotton Candy Lip Balm  :Hey everyone!During winters, there is one item that is always present in our bags. What is that you ask? The answer would be a lip balm!Winters usually bring the cold winds that do a number on our skin leaving it dry and damaged. So why would the lips stay behind? At every moment we worry about the drying up of the lips and its flaky damaged state. That is the reason why a lip balm should always be there with us.It not only moisturizes the lips but also keeps it from being damaged by the cold winds.Maybelline has a large number of colored lip balms that are extremely convenient to use because they not only work as a lip balm but also as a lipstick. What more could we ask for!Today I’ll be reviewing the Maybelline baby Lips Candy Rush lip balm in the flavor Cotton Candy!’

What Is It?

It is a colored balm that moisturizes the lips and prevents it from getting dry.

Price

Rs. 190 for 4gms of the product.

How to Use it

Apply it on dry and chapped lips to moisturize and nourish your lips and to also protect it from the sun.

My Experience with the Maybelline Baby Lips Cotton Candy Lip Balm

Packaging

This lip balm has a screw-up mechanism. So when using it, you simply need to remove the lid and rotate the bottom portion of the plastic stick to get the product out. The color of the lip balm, like all other Maybelline lip balms, is color-coded with the flavor. As this one is named cotton candy, the lid and bottom of the tube are pink and the middle is a greyish white. It comes packed in a cardboard and plastic flap cover.

Shade

The Cotton Candy shade is a very pretty sheer pink. It has a sheer glossy finish to it. The shade makes the lips look naturally bright pink!

Pigmentation

It isn’t highly pigmented which is why you need to apply at least 2 swipes to get the color to pop out. It doesn’t cover lip pigmentation to a great extent. But it looks good on everyone due to its natural finish.

Texture

The Cotton Candy lip balm has a smooth texture. It easily glides over the lips which is why it feels very comfortable to wear it. The moisturizing power is good.

Fragrance

This lip balm has a wonderful strawberry-ish fragrance. Much like a real cotton candy. Also, it’s sweet to taste if you accidentally lick your lips and you taste some of it!

Staying Power

Its tall claim of 16-hour moisture isn’t true. But it does stay for approximately 5-6 hours. Even after it wears off, the lips remain soft for another 2-3 hours before you need to reapply!
