My experience with NYX Perfect Filter Rustic Antique

Packaging

It comes in a rectangular box palette with a transparent top that shows all the shades.

Colour and texture

It has a variety of colors and they are all powdery/ chalky in nature with some amount of fall out.

Fragrance

It is fragrance-free

Experience

At some point in time, I got obsessed with eyeshadows and purchased this really pretty palette from NYX professionals perfect filter eyeshadow palette in “rustic antique”. The shade range is very pretty and I found this to be suitable enough to be used for any occasion, day or night. The shade ranges from light creams, to light oranges to golds to rose golds in browns and rustic grey shade. This palette can be used to create various kinds of looks. Some of the shades of this palette are shimmery and some of them are absolutely matte. The shimmery shades have fallen out but the matte shades are pretty good. They don’t make the eye lids oily and also stays on for a good 3 to 4 hours if an eye shadow primer is applied prior to the application of these eye shadows. But, the shades are very powdery and chalky, which makes it difficult to blend while wanting to create different eye looks. Some of the shades just don’t show up at all even after multiple swipes. This is not something that is expected from NYX. In all, for the price, the pigmentation is not so great and the blendability is also just mediocre. I wouldn’t really recommend this and I didn’t like this palette as well.

Would I repurchase or recommend this?

Rating: 2.5/5

Glossypolish verdict: The NYX palette is not a great buy since the pigmentation is very poor and the shades are chalky. Some shades don’t show up and the price is pretty high, so this product is definitely not recommended.

Facial wipes are such a boon during summers. They help keep the face fresh and glowing all day long. This is so important since there is so much of dirt and pollution out everywhere. Today I will be reviewing the kara refreshing facial wipes with mint oil and aloe vera. This is a product from future customer enterprise limited which is made from viscose fibers from nature. Read on to know more about the Kara Cleaning & Hydrating Refreshing Wipes Aloe Vera & Mint Oil.

Texture

The wipe is soft and smooth and glides on the skin.

How to use

Open the sticker on the packaging and take out one wipe and use it.

Fragrance

It smells like mint and rose, no traces of fragrance of aloe vera, but it is very overpowering

My experience

I saw this product online and since I had never really tried facial wipes, I wanted to try this. I saw good reviews about this product and since it was pretty affordable, I purchased this. I used this a few times and noticed a few things. This made my oily skin dry and also attracted dirt. This is meant to cleanse the face and remove the dirt and pollution, which it does, but also attracts dirt and dries out the skin. I stopped using this as a cleansing wipe and alternated it to be used as makeup wipe. It worked well that way. Also, this contains loads of chemicals apart from aloe vera and mint oil. Hence I wouldn’t recommend this to be used every day. Once a while, to feel refreshed and as a make-up wipe, this product is fine.

Overall Performance of Kara Cleaning & Hydrating Refreshing Wipes Aloe Vera & Mint Oil

Pros

Biodegradable
Affordable

Cons

Contains chemicals
Since it is a wet wipe, it attracts dirt if used as a refreshing wipe
Might be drying at times
Too strong of a smell
Damages skin if used regularly

Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes, I recommend this to people who want to feel fresh all day long and avoid the feeling of dust and pollution on their face. This contains various chemicals though, so I wouldn’t advise people to use it every day since it might harm the skin. I wouldn’t repurchase this as well.

Clinique Chubby Stick Voluptuous Violet Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm Review

How to use

Swipe on lips and go, conquer the world!

My experience with Clinique Chubby Stick Voluptuous Violet

Clinique is one of my favorite brands. Their products are just flawless. They have some of the best skin care as well as makeup products. The first time I brought this chubby stick, I was in love with it. Even though it is on the pricier side, it is worth the money. My go-to shade is “voluptuous violet”. This gives a pink sheen to the lips, which doesn’t really shine but keeps the lips moisturized for really long.

Packaging

It comes in a cute tube like container which can be opened and closed according to usage.

Fragrance

The shade I own has a fruity fragrance; the fragrance mainly depends on the shade of the chubby stick since it comes with a particular flavor.

Experience

A big advantage is that it instantly moisturizes the lips and gives a hint of color which stays for almost 5 hours. It can be applied during the daytime and since it is not sticky, it is not attracted by dirt. Also, since it can be turned out and in, it doesn’t need to be sharpened.

Clinique Chubby Stick Voluptuous Violet Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm Review 4

Pros

Moisturizes the lips
Long lasting power
Gives a beautiful tint
Mild fragrance
Doesn’t need to be sharpened
Lightweight
Can be used on a daily basis

Cons

Pricey

Would I repurchase or recommend?

YES. I would recommend it to every person, dry lips, chapped lips, normal lips or dull lips. I will definitely repurchase other shades since they all look so beautiful and attractive. I would give it 5/5, forget the price, it is worth every rupee and it is ok to binge on shopping once a while, what say ladies?!

What is it?

It protects and cleanses the vaginal area while maintaining the necessary pH balance. The foam wash contains Aloe Vera that nourishes, vita B3 which helps in removing dullness, and T-Tree oil which protects your sensitive skin down there.

Clean And Dry Wash 1

My experience with Clean And Dry Wash

Packaging

It comes in a bottle with a transparent cap and is travel-friendly

Color and texture

It is white in color and has a foamy texture

Fragrance

It has a floral fragrance

Experience

So, this is a foaming wash that I bought, especially when I need to travel, because of its ease of use. Since it is a foam, it can be used easily and doesn’t need much water to be cleansed. It has a very mild floral fragrance that lingers around for some time. Having said that, it helps reduce and eliminate odor but doesn’t help protect against infections of any sort. This is just a cleanser and if you are not interested in using plain water and want to pamper yourself, this is the right product. Don’t expect miracles or infections to vanish because of this. It doesn’t irritate the skin and can be used by people who have extra-sensitive skin. But, it claims to brighten the skin, which it doesn’t. In all this is a decent product.

Clean And Dry Wash 3

The overall performance of Clean And Dry Wash

Pros

Travel-friendly

Cleanses thoroughly
Ease of use
Good fragrance
No irritation
Suits sensitive skin

Cons

Doesn’t help with infections
Kinda expensive
Doesn’t brighten the skin like it claims
Doesn’t protect against infections

Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes, I will repurchase and recommend this.

Rating: 3.75/5

Glossypolish verdict: The clean and dry foaming wash is a decent product that helps cleanse the intimate area thoroughly. It is worth a buy while on travels and trips. It is not harsh on skin and suits sensitive skin too.

Chambor Liquid Lipstick 405 | Extremewear|Transferproof

by Smriti S November 13, 2023

written by Smriti S

Chambor extreme wear transfer proof liquid lipsticks are a rage among the people today, be it of any age. I have previously reviewed one of their light brown/ nude shade and after using it, I loved it and decided to purchase 2 more shades. Today I will be reviewing the very famous Chambor Liquid Lipstick 405. Read on to know if this product was as good as its predecessor or a miss.

Chambor Extremewear Transferproof Lipstick 405

Price: Rs 845 for 6ml

My experience with Chambor Liquid Lipstick 405

Packaging: The packaging of this liquid lipstick is extremely sassy, travel-friendly and hygienic. I loved the packaging. It is packed in a dark blue colored paper box and the product comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a black applicator cap. Full marks on the packaging. The words “Chambor extreme wear transfer-proof liquid lipstick” are written in white on the container and the ingredients are mentioned on the package.

Color and texture: The shade is numbered 405 and has a semi-liquid, creamy kind of consistency that settles down quickly on the lips

Fragrance: It has a weird vanilla kind of smell which I actually like. The smell vanishes within 10 minutes of application since it dries gracefully on the lips.

Experience

I just love liquid lipsticks, especially the ones that are affordable yet do the job. This one actually comes in that category. The chamber extreme wear transfer proof liquid lipstick is indeed transfer proof and stays for a good 5 to 7 hours even after light meals or snacks and drinking water or tea/coffee. I usually apply it using a lip brush, I dip the brush in the liquid lipstick container and glide it on my lips. When I wish to achieve full coverage or a darker version of the same shade, I just use the applicator given with the lipstick, one stroke and I am done. It completely covers up my pigmented lips and gives a sheer, satin smooth finish and doesn’t dry out my lips even after 4 hours. It doesn’t feather out or transfer or smudge or bleed and the color pay off is wonderful. In all, girls, this product is amazing like the previous one. So if you want to buy a lipstick, go ahead and choose your shade from a huge variety of 18 shades.

Chambor Extremewear Transferproof Lipstick 405 2

Chambor Extremewear Transferproof Lipstick 405 3

Pros

Intensity can be light to medium to full coverage
Doesn’t dry out the lips
Silky smooth velvety texture and finish
Covers up pigmented lips
Doesn’t flake or feather out
Stays for 5 to 7 hours after light meals
Super cute doe-foot shaped applicator
Great packaging
Transfer proof
Great color pay off
Doesn’t bleed or smudge
Doesn’t require reapplication

Cons

Nothing for me

Would I repurchase or recommend?

A big yes. I definitely recommend this product to everyone, especially those who have pigmented lips and want a full coverage lipstick, that not just stays long, but stays intact even after some light meals as well. Girls, trust me, this will suit you and you won’t regret this and the best thing is there are such a wide variety of shades to suit all skin tones.

Rating: 5/5

Glossypolish: This is a must buy since it is affordable, stays long, fabulous shades and the best part is it covers pigmented lips. Glossypolish recommends this and gives it a 5/5.

Pantene Total Damage Care 10 Conditioner Review

by Smriti S November 13, 2023

written by Smriti S

Who is it for? Pantene Total Damage Care 10 Conditioner is for those looking for a regular use conditioner for damaged hair.Pantene pro-v conditioner is a product that is to be used after shampooing or hair wash, so as to smoothen and soften the hair strands to achieve soft, manageable, healthy and damage-free hair. It claims to help repair severely damaged hair, that is caused due to extreme heat (whether or styling), hair styling products, coloring, and hair sprays or hair perfumes which are used to get amazing-smelling hair all day. It is required to massage this product onto the length of the hair only and leave for 3 minutes and rinse off thoroughly. It is best to be used with Pantene pro-v total damage care shampoo.

Pantene Pro-V Total Damage Care 10 Conditioner

Price and quantity

Rs 69 for 75 ml

My experience with Pantene Total Damage Care 10 Conditioner

Packaging

It comes in a white bottle that has a golden colored cap and upon opening the flip top cap and applying pressure to the bottle, the conditioner can be obtained and used.

Colour and texture

It has a soft, thick texture and is white in color

Fragrance

It smells like some exotic perfume

Experience

I needed a conditioner badly and had run out of my favorite NYM conditioner. I purchased this from nearby stores since I found this pretty affordable and I loved the smell. I started using this and noticed that my hair was less tangled in a head bath. I have never had split ends and rough hair, but my hair is dry at the ends and I have an oily scalp. I don’t use heat on my hair, but due to the heat from the surrounding environment and pollution, my hair was damaged to a certain extent. I started using this and my hair remained soft and tangle-free for 3 days straight. This is why I was impressed with the product. I didn’t see any major changes in my hair fall pattern though. Anyway, this product is not applied to the scalp, which is why nothing for hair fall should be expected. But in all, this product smells amazing and keeps the hair soft. After 3 to 4 uses, you will notice that your hair will be more manageable and if damaged by hair styling products, it will be repaired to an extent.

Pantene Pro-V Total Damage Care 10 Conditioner 3

Pros

Easily available
Affordable
Travel-friendly packaging
Smoothens the hair
Repairs it from damage caused by heat and hair styling products
Heavenly fragrance
Makes hair manageable for up to 3 days
Comes in various different sizes (try the smallest size first and buy if it suits you)

Cons

Might not suit all kinds of hair (suits oily, dry, soft and thin hair type)
Might cause a few strands of hair fall

Would I repurchase or recommend this?

Yes, I will recommend this product and will repurchase and try other range of conditioners from Pantene.

Rating: 4.5/5

Glossypolish verdict: In all, this is a product that works well to smoothen the hair and repair damage caused by heat and other hair styling products but does nothing for hair fall. Hence glossypolish rates this product 4.5/5

Dove Hair Therapy Conditioner : Hot or Not ?

by Smriti S November 13, 2023

written by Smriti S

Dove Hair Therapy Conditioner: Today, I will be reviewing the dove daily shine conditioner. Conditioners play an important player in every hair care regimen. There are many conditioners out there in the market that claim to soften and smoothen hair. But do they all work? Absolutely not. Read on to know if this Dove Conditioner – Dove Hair Therapy Daily Shine fared well for me or not.

Dove Conditioner - Dove Hair Therapy Daily Shine

How to use the product

Place a small amount of the conditioner, equal to the size of a coin, on your palm. Apply it to your hair by running your fingers through it starting from the root & all the way down to the tips. Leave the conditioner on your hair for a minute then rinse it off well. Best results when used with dove hair therapy daily shine shampoo with nutritive serum

Price and quantity

Rs 190 for 180 ml (currently on offer in Nykaa)

My experience with Dove Hair Therapy Conditioner

Packaging

It comes in a flip top bottle and it is easy to use. There are chances of leakage though since the bottle is upside down and the cap is below.

Colour and texture

It is white in color and has a creamy texture. This applies easily to the length of the hair

Fragrance

It smells like the usual dove shampoos and it is great and I love it.

Experience

This is like any other conditioner and helps soften and smoothen hair. I cant say the same for people who have very dry and frizzy hair. This was an experiment buy too since I ran out of my usual conditioner and needed something. It has a great fragrance and this fragrance lasts for about 2 days. The conditioners help keep your hair frizz free for a good 3 to 4 days. I use it for every alternate hair wash since I don’t find the need to use conditioners every time I wash my hair. Also, it doesn’t add to hair fall and claims to protect hair from daily wear and tear. This helps with frizz to a certain extent. In all, I liked the product and will definitely try other range from this conditioner brand. Girls, if you have normal or lightly frizzy hair and you are looking out for shampoos, do give this a try. Happy shopping.

Dove Conditioner - Dove Hair Therapy Daily Shine 2

Pros

Great fragrance
Affordable
Makes hair smooth, soft and shiny
Easy to use a bottle

Cons

Contains chemicals.
Not travel-friendly

Would I repurchase or recommend this?

Yes, I will repurchase other variants and recommend this to get smooth, frizz free, shiny hair

Rating: 4/5

Glossypolish verdict: The dove daily shine conditioner is definitely worth the price and a must buy since it helps you get soft, smooth hair and leaves behind a beautiful fragrance that lasts for around 2 days.

Packaging

The packaging is something that I adore. It is a regular tube with a lip applicator but the color of the container is the color of the shade, which means you won’t have to search for the name of the shade or open the cap to check for the shade every single time.

Color and texture

It has a glossy texture and the name of the color is “vanilla cream pie” (yes the name is so alluring)

Fragrance

It smells like caramel custard, I love it.

Experience

These days, I have become a fan of the brand named NYX. Some products are actually expensive, but most of them are affordable. There are these butter lip glosses and butter lip balms which are my absolute favorites. I purchased the shade “vanilla cream pie”. This butter gloss is something that can be applied over the lipstick or alone. The lighter shades in this range don’t give too much color so best suggested to apply over a lipstick in case you want some color. On days when you want your lips to look sheer and lipstick-free, just swipe a layer of this butter gloss and you are good to go. This doesn’t stick or attract dirt. It might stay for a good 3 to 4hours without meals. It doesn’t feather out as well. It gives a light color, but on my lips, looks like clear gloss since my lips are pigmented. The shade looks like a bubble gum pink and keeps the lips pretty moisturized. In all, I like this. The only problem is it doesn’t stay for very long, but for the price, it is absolutely worth it.

by Smriti S January 3, 2023

written by Smriti S

Zara EDT Oriental Review: Zara is a Spanish clothing and accessories retailer based in Arteixo. It is the main brand of one of the world’s largest apparel retailer. They have men’s clothing, women’s clothing, kid’s clothing. Apart from all this, they have accessories and perfumes. The products from Zara are supplied based on consumer trends. Its highly responsive supply chain ships new products to stores twice a week. They have a wide variety of perfumes and me being new to the brand Zara, I purchased a few dresses and 2 perfumes. Read on to know whether Zara Oriental Eau De Toilette makes a way to your wardrobe or not!

Details about Zara Oriental Eau De Toilette

What is it?

The Zara oriental eau de toilette is a perfume from the day collection. The main accords of this perfume are woody, caramel and vanilla. It is basically a fragrance for women. The top notes of the product include rose and freesia, the middle notes include cedar and sandalwood, the base notes include vanilla and caramel. As already mentioned, Zara oriental is an eau de toilette, which means it is a product that is ideal to be used only during the night. Zara believes in breaking the stereotypes and hence this eau de toilette is a part of their day collection which means it can be used during the day as well.

My experience with Zara Oriental Eau De Toilette

Packaging: the packaging of Zara perfumes is extremely classy, yet simple. I loved the packaging. It is packed in a beige colored paper box and the perfume comes in a glass bottle with a black cap. 1/1 for the bottle as well. The words “Zara oriental” is written in bold on the bottle and the ingredients are written on the package.

Color and texture: it is colorless and has a liquid consistency

Fragrance: it has a pleasant vanilla and caramel smell. It just smells so sweet, just amazing. It is not too strong, it has just the perfect notes and is extremely comforting.

Experience

I visited Chennai and it is the huge metropolitan city has many malls which have shops from international brands and one of it is Zara. Zara basically specializes in apparels but they have perfumes and accessories as well. I shopped for a few Zara dresses and while billing, I saw these cute little perfumes and tried them. I instantly fell in love with this perfume and decided to purchase it. They did not have the biggest bottle so I settled down for the 100 ml bottle. The smell is sweet, woody and simple. It contains caramel and vanilla and has no hints of alcohol (even though it does contain alcohol). It sometimes smells citrusy as well. It is a beautiful girly scent and has woody notes with it. It smells expensive and sophisticated and is extremely affordable which makes it a huge plus point. It is a warm, elegant scent that has clear notes of sandalwood and caramel as well. I have always gotten compliments wearing this perfume but the only problem is that it fades away after a few hours. It is expected that a perfume stays for a good 8 hours at least without the need to reapply it. But this one stays for a maximum of 5 hours depending on the body type.

Mild smell

The words “Zara red vanilla” are written in gold on the bottle and the ingredients are written on the package.

Color and texture:

It is colorless and has a liquid consistency

Fragrance:

it has pleasant vanilla and fruity smell. It just smells so sweet and fruity, just so fresh. It is not too strong, it has just the perfect notes and is extremely invigorating and refreshing.

Experience

I visited Chennai and it is a huge metropolitan city that has many malls which have shops from international brands and one of it is Zara. Zara basically specializes in apparel but they have perfumes and accessories as well. I shopped for a few Zara dresses and while billing, I saw these cute little perfumes and tried them. I instantly fell in love with two of their perfumes and decided to purchase them. I purchased the Zara oriental perfume and the red vanilla. Red vanilla has a fragrance that is sweet, fruity, and simple. It contains patchouli and vanilla and is not overpowering (even though it does contain alcohol). It just invigorates all the senses and gives a really fresh feeling. It is a beautiful fruity scent. It smells expensive and sophisticated but is extremely affordable which makes it a huge plus point. It is a classy, elegant scent that is ideal to be used in the nighttime. It is always ok to use perfumes during the day but be careful not to overuse it, else it might suffocate you. I have gotten compliments wearing this perfume. It stays for a good 6 to 7 hours but the longevity of the perfume depends on the body type as well, i.e the ability of the body to adjust to the perfume, the weather conditions, the type of dresses we have worn along with the perfume, and much more. In all, this perfume is a hit for me and I am impressed with Zara’s perfumes. The best part is they have perfumes in many sizes and in rollerballs which are so cute. They are extremely affordable and I suggest everyone buy this. It is worth the price.
