Notd : Colorbar Pink Lady 094

Hey loves!
I've been obsessed with Neon Pink lately. I love how bright neon colors are!

I bought this Nail Paint - Colorbar "Pink Lady 094" which is a lovely Neon Pink.
I had my eye on it for a while but finally got over the laziness and went to buy it.

Though I do have a terrible complaint to make.
To buy this nailpaint, I went to this store called beautiful in my area. I knew what I exactly wanted. I didn't need a tester or anything. I went straight up to the colorbar counter, picked up the nail paint and told the sales assistant to give me a fresh piece I can buy.
I was in a rush so I quickly paid for the thing and left.
When I opened it, I found it was a tester piece and only half the bottle was left.
I didn't have the time to go exchange, so I left it. But the sales assistant should have atleast given a new piece! I have to say its really sucky that this happened.

Details on the nail paint:
Name : Colorbar "Pink Lady 094"
Price : Rs. 160
Content : 9ml

Also, I recently went for Oriflame's Obloggers meet where they launched their new hair color range- HairX TruColour which is a fabulous range.

I wore this Neon Pink nailpaint with my outfit for the day.

Dress- Thrifted. 

Bellies - Tresmode.

Review : Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Range

Hey Loves! 

Life has been boring and happening at the same time these days! 

How are things with you’ll?

Well, Today I will be reviewing 4 Oriflame products, i.e as follows

1.       Optimals White Foaming Gel

2.       Optimals White Balancing Toner

3.       Optimals White Day Cream 

4.       Optimals White Night Cream

Please click on the above links for the detailed reviews of each product.
It is a great face care range and a must try.

Putting it all in one made the post a little too long, so I have put them in 3 different parts but I hope the review helps! Overall, I've got to say that the products have brought a positive change to my skin and complexion! 

I will definitely want to continue with this skin care routine and specially suggest this to people like me who travel every day in the terrible trains. The everyday sun, dust and dirt makes our skin darker and tans also. But coming home and using this range not only clears my skin of the dirt, but it makes me feel more relaxed. It makes your skin feel a lot more lighter.
Do comment and let me know whether you've used any of these products and what you'll like/dislike about them, and if the review helps you :)

Review : Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Day/Night Cream

Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Day Cream 

ANDOriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Night Cream

Price :

Day Cream : Rs. 649/-

Night Cream : Rs.699/-

Content and Ingredients :

Packaging :
Both the creams come in a weighty glass container. The day cream has a light blue lid, and the night cream has a dark blue lid. Both are screw caps. Though the size is pretty small, I wouldn't call this travel friendly because the glass container makes it pretty heavy. The container comes in a paper box that is white and the color of the lid. Inside, it has a silver foil covering the cream for extra protection. 

However, one thing I would wish for is if it wasn't packaged this way. I have to use my fingers to take the cream, and considering the fact that I have slightly long nails, the cream stays in my nails more than coming onto my finger. 

Both the creams come with an information note in the paper box.

Smell and Texture : 
People would think that both the creams is the same, but they are not. 

In detail, The day cream smells a little off. It is a sharp smell, which is not too pleasant (in my opinion). But , I love the smell of the night cream, which is milder. 

The texture however, is pleasing for both the creams. They are milky white, and creamy (slightly watery). Maybe because it is a little watery, is why they both spread really well, so you require very less of it, per use. They aren't too oily like the other creams as well.

How I use it : 
To get better results, I made it a point to not only use the night cream, but the day cream as well. So after using the foaming gel and toner every morning and night, I applied the day cream and night cream, respectively.

My take on it :
 Both the creams have surely brought a positive change in my complexion. They've made my skin feel smoother and softer. It does not feel heavy as well.

However, I'm not too sure if I'm the only one, but it made my skin cause sweating. 

It leaves a shiny effect on the skin.

Review : Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Balancing Toner

Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Balancing Toner

Price : 

Rs.499/-

Contents and Ingredients : 

Packaging :
It comes in a frosted plastic bottle with blue text on it. It has a screw cap which prevents leakage. Upon opening the cap, there is a tiny hole through which you can remove the toner. I wouldn't call it travel friendly, since it is a little big, but the screw cap locks securely, so you can carry it without worry

Smell and Texture : 
The smell is EXACTLY like the foaming gel, which is a mild and pleasant one. Like stated earlier, it is a flower-like smell. Though the toner has a rather softer smell in comparison with the foaming gel. The liquid is a transparent, water-like one.

How I use it :
After using the foaming gel, I take a cotton call and pour a few (2-4) drops of the balancing toner on it. I move the cotton on my face with a little emphasis on the nose, hairline and chin. 

My take on it :
Using this product definitely has made my skin clearer. The reason I posted this review so late is because I wanted to try this one specific thing for a while and then form an opinion.

It was that using this product has fairly reduced the acne I had. At first when I used it, I went bonkers because the acne grew on my forehead so bad that I had to find ways to cover it But then in a day or two it just vanished and my face much became clearer!

The toner clears the oiliness as well, and removes traces of remaining eye make as well. It makes my skin feel more firm, and leaves it a little dry, but the use of moisturizer or a cream is a must.

Summarized Pros and Cons :

Pros : 

1.     Reduces pores and acne

2.     Great smell

3.     Good quantity- will last for a good 2/2.5 months

4.     Helps remove traces of remaining make up

5.     Helps clear the oily skin

6.     Gentle on skin

7.     The frosted plastic allows you to see how much content is still left.

Cons : 

1.     A little drying

2.     Not too travel friendly 

3.     Slightly expensive, but the quantity makes it worth it

Overall Rating : 4.5/5

Review : Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Foaming Gel.

Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost Foaming Gel.

Price:

Rs. 499/-

Content and Ingredients : 

Packaging :

It comes in a medium heighted white bottle with blue text on it. It has a press to release nozzle. The great part about this is that it has a twist to stop and start nozzle. Basically you have to turn the nozzle in the given direction to block it from being pressed. So when you are travelling, you do not have to worry if it will leak because it may accidently be pressed in your bag.

Smell and Texture :

It is a clear liquid gel. But coming to what I don’t like , (and not saying it is a negative thing, just personal opinion) but I wish it wasn’t as runny as it is. A gel is supposed to be a tiny bit thicker than this, and should not run so much. It is almost like water. Though coming to what I like about it, is that unlike a few other face washes that I have used, it lathers really well, maybe sometimes a little too well, but I guess that is a good thing. 

It spreads nicely and feels very light on the face. 

The smell is a mild and pleasant smell that may feel a little floral (jasmine in specific).

How I use it :
I take a bit of the liquid on my palms and apply the gel on my face. Then I lather it and rinse with water. Basically like a facewash.

My take on it:
The heavy dust and dirt of everyday travel makes my skin feel so dull and uncomfortable. So when I first started using this product, I felt my skin became more radiant after the wash. I have an oily T-zone and after using this foaming gel, my skin feels lighter. It also becomes softer and smoother.

Summarized Pros and Cons : 

Pros : 

1.     Cleans well

2.     Lathers well

3.     Removes make up

4.     Does not dry out the skin

5.     Press to release nozzle

6.     Twist nozzle to start and stop hence travel friendly

7.     Great quantity

8.     Skin feels lighter after use

9.     Helps skin become smoother and softer

Cons : 

1.     Too runny

2.     You can't know how much product you've used up

3.     A tiny bit pricey, but worth it.

Overall Rating : 4.6/5
