Continuing with the series of reviews I shall be reviewing  the Iraa Instaradiance Hydrating Face Mist with  White Tea &  Jasmine which is meant for all skin types. So I have been trying and testing it for  a month and will share my thoughts on it in this post. Please keep on reading to know more.....

Iraa Instaradiance Hydrating Face Mist with  White Tea &  Jasmine  Review

Coming to the product the color of the mist is lavender purple in the bottle from what I see but comes across as clear when used and does not transfer on the face. It contains White tea which acts as an Antioxidant, moisturizes, is anti-ageing & anti-inflammatory and Jasmine which is Moisturizing, nourishing and has a natural aroma. 

Iraa Instaradiance Hydrating Face Mist with  White Tea &  Jasmine  Review

The product is dermatologically approved and clinically tested which is a big thumbs up. I could not spot any fishy ingredients in this one and all are safe to use on the skin. It contains glycerin which acts as a moisturizer for the skin. If you have oily skin it will make your skin sticky hence this product is best suited for someone who has normal to dry skin in my opinion unlike meant for all skin types as the brand has claimed.The jasmine fragrance is nice and makes you feel calm and fresh on use but if you don't like this fragrance stay away from it. This product is perfect as a makeup fixer/setting spray as the glycerin keeps the makeup in place and makes the face look less powdery and cakey. Since I have combination to oily skin I have been using it as a setting spray and have been loving it.

In conclusion I would like to say that Iraa Instaradiance Hydrating Face Mist with  White Tea &  Jasmine is best suited for those with normal to dry skin and in general for anyone who wants to use it as a makeup fixing spray. With all natural ingredients this seems amazing to try and I highly recommend.

MLWM Rating:4.2/5

I hope this review was useful and informative to all those reading. Comment below with your thoughts and do let me know if you have tried this product or intend to ☺

Blue Heaven Diamond Blush on (502 &505) Review & Swatches

Hey everyone,
I am posting after a long time I know but I was very sick. I have mentioned about the same on my YouTube channel, if you have not checked that video you can check it HERE. It has been raining crazily in Mumbai with floods in many parts but thankfully where we live everything is ok and now back to normal. I feel the media only sensationalizes certain happenings but the reality is something different, What do you say?? Let me know in the comments section.Anyway today  I am going to review the Blue Heaven Diamond Blushes which are very popular on YouTube and in the blogosphere. Hence I purchased 2 shades of my own money and would like to review them for all of you. Please keep on reading to know my thoughts...


Blue Heaven Diamond Blush on (502 &505) Review & Swatches

Price: Rs.125/- Buy  502 here and 505 here


Ingredients & Brand Description:



BLUE HEAVEN DIAMOND BLUSH ON has a soft cream whipped formula that is long lasting and blend very smoothly with your skin.It feels virtually weightless and glides on quickly and easily giving a natural look to your face.

Soft creamy formula that is long lasting and highly spreadable and velvety feel. Apply with the applicator and feel the magic of smooth glide.

Packaging:
The blush comes in a cardboard packaging and the color is visible from the front. The blush comes in a round pan with a transparent lid. There is no mirror but you get a small puff for application which I find useless to be honest. The packaging needs improvement big time considering all these unknown brands in the market offer better packaging now a days. It is not travel friendly but can be carried around in my opinion.

Blush no 502:
If you check pictures online they never help in deciding the color and that is why reviews by bloggers and Youtubers come handy. So when I was watching a video I fell in love with this shade and ordered it in no time. When I used to view it online I thought it wasn't what I was looking for but I got it and I love it. 502 is a beautiful rosy brown color which flatter all skin types and add a lovely flush of color to the face. It has shimmer which is not over the top I feel. It can also be used for contouring. I truly fell in love with this one.It can also be used to apply as eye shadow.

Blush no 505:
It  is a beautiful golden bronze color which looks amazing as a bronzer cum blush for someone who has a skin tone like me. For deeper skin tones this can work as a highlighter. I have used this blush as an eye shadow as well and it has worked well for me.The pigmentation is really good for the price. The smell is quite strong but will vanish on application of the product. The color is stunning and has lasted on my face all day.This shade is one of their best sellers and I can tell why.

These blushes are value for money and can be used for multiple purposes hence I highly recommend them. Both of them have shimmer which adds a glow to the face. If you have textured skin or skin with pores then it may accentuate it hence apply wisely as shimmers would enhance it further.Blue Heaven blushes are good considering the price point and is ideal for someone who is new into makeup or even otherwise.Go grab it if you haven't yet, If you have tried this blush do let me know your thoughts in the comments section.

Anyway coming to my today's review it is from the brand Iraa about whom I have talked about on my blog and in my last YouTube video please do watch it if you haven't yet.I shall be reviewing the Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 today in the post. To know my experience and thoughts on it please keep on reading....

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 Review

Brand claims:

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 Review
Packaging:
The product comes enclosed in a cardboard box with all information on it including the date of manufacturing, price and ingredients list. The container is made of plastic with a screw cap and looks nice, not like some cheap tub of cream if you know what I mean.The tub is travel friendly in my opinion.

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 Review
First up the cream is white in color and smells nice and not perfumey which I like. The main and key ingredients of this cream is white tea which acts as an anti oxidant, is anti inflammatory, moisturizes and good for anti ageing then comes saffron which as everyone knows is good skin whitening and brightening. Well Ahem! I am not into whitening and promote that on my blog but what I can tell you that the cream instantly brightens up the face and makes you look radiant. I have oily to combination skin and I use this after my bath on my face and also before I apply makeup on my face as a moisturizer.If you have oily skin this may make you oily after an hour or so.

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 Review



 In Mumbai the humidity is high so my skin became greasy as well but not immediately hence I do not use a lot of it to be honest. This will work best for those who have combination to normal skin to dry skin and as it gives a mattifying effect post application and then may become oily after few hours which is ok for these skin types. Since I have combination skin I have been liking it as an everyday moisturizer. It also has SPF 30 which is amazing and does a good job of moisturizing my skin.The ingredients list does not contain parabens from what I read, which I love and I also think it is affordable and worth trying.

MLWM Rating:4.4/5

Iraa Instaradiance Whitening Day Cream with SPF 30 is a good everyday cream for those who have combination - normal - dry skin in my opinion. Have you tried this cream or intend to? Please let me know in the comments section.

Please keep on reading to know more about this collection.

Memories flirting under fireworks Eau De Toilette (EDT)

The product comes in a beautiful round shaped crystal bottle which is pink in color and has a golden cap to it. The cap can get loose overtime hence I would suggest to be careful with it.The bottle is small and can fit in anywhere but I would not suggest you to carry it in your purse.

The perfume smells the sweetest among the three. It has a girly kind of fragrance and will appeal more to teenage girls in my opinion.It has a blend of vanilla and fruit fragrances and the praline adds to the sweetness in the fragrance. It is long lasting and will last for 6 hours easily depending on heat,humidity and other factors.

The product comes in a beautiful round shaped crystal bottle which is yellow in color and has a golden cap to it. The cap can get loose overtime hence I would suggest to be careful with it.The bottle is small and can fit in anywhere but I would not suggest you to carry it in your purse. The bottle clearly gives you beachy vibes in my opinion.

The scent is best described as warm and floral with a hint of coconut.It is an instant mood changer as it contains frangipani which is my absolute favourite ingredient in perfumes. I also felt this was one was very long lasting and absolutely worth every buck you spend on it.

Price:Rs.1099/- for 30ml

Ingredients:
ALCOHOL DENAT., AQUA, PARFUM, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, CITRONELLOL, HEXYL CINNAMAL, GERANIOL, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, EUGENOL, PHENOXYETHANOL, CI 19140, CI 42090

This floral-muguet-white flower fragrance is bursting with the joy of a fresh spring morning. Sparkling, aromatic blackcurrant buds fizz above a honeyed cloud of delicate linden blossom, while the musky refinement of ambrette seeds leads a trail of quiet harmony.


Memories chasing butterflies Eau De Toilette (EDT)

The product comes in a beautiful round shaped crystal bottle which is green  in color and has a golden cap to it. The cap can get loose overtime hence I would suggest to be careful with it.The bottle is small and can fit in anywhere but I would not suggest you to carry it in your purse. This green color looks the most appealing among all 3 variants.The theme of chasing butterflies which we do at the park is very much evident in the packaging

 I would best describe this scent as fresh and a mood uplifter. This is my first favourite among the three variants and is a perfect blend of blossom and musk notes which again is my favourite. The smell lingers on for hours and the longevity can depend upon on your daily activities.



My thoughts on the Memories EDT collection:
All 3 variants launched in the Memories EDT collection are specifically made keeping the modern free spirited woman of today.The scent and notes are girly of course and are decently long lasting. The packaging is really cute and will look amazing on your vanity. Oriflame perfumes are one of the best I have tried and would highly recommend these to every woman.The day dreaming in a hammock and chasing butterflies are my personal favourite and I would recommend you to try these for sure☺

So what do you think of Oriflame's Memories Eau De Toilette (EDT) Range?? Have you tried it ?? Do let me know in the comments section ☺☺

Unique Style Chubby Lip Crayon (32) Review, Swatches and LOTD

Hey everyone,
Today I shall be reviewing the Unique Style Chubby Lip Crayon which I had purchased a while ago on my trip to Beauty Centre in Mumbai. I had done a video on Brown and Nude Inexpensive Lipsticks available in India on my YouTube channel if you have not watch it please do, In that video I had featured this lipstick and many other budget friendly lippies so do check it out. So this lipstick was randomly spotted and picked by me when I went for shopping at the makeup store which is very rare for me as I am become so lazy I hardly do retail shopping and order most things online thanks to websites and Instagram stores.Anyway if you wish to know more about this lip crayon keep on reading...


Unique Style Chubby Lip Crayon (32) Review, Swatches and LOTD

Price: Between Rs.120 -150 for 3g and you may get it for less if you buy more (as per offer)
These are exclusively available across all Beauty Centre outlets in Mumbai only and on Instagram you can find them through some stores who operate from Mumbai

Packaging:
The lip crayon looks exactly like the 7 heaven one I have reviewed before, you can check the review HERE. In fact I would say they have copied it.. Lol !! Strangely the name was Rusty Rose on all of them but they have different numbers which was a sigh of relief. Also the color of the outer crayon matches the actual color of the lipsticks so you know what color it is without opening it. These look amazing and remind me of the Revlon ones. They are travel friendly and budget friendly of course.

Unique Style Chubby Lip Crayon (32) Review, Swatches and LOTD

The lip crayon is retractable which is a big Yayy! so no wastage of product. It smells fruity and pleasant - no cheap smell. The formula of this lip crayon is similar to the 7 Heaven's one but I would say even better and amazing. In one swipe you get an opaque and decent coverage and in 2 swipes you are sorted. They go on smoothly on the lips and do settle to a semi matte finish which I like. They are transferable however they last fairly long on the lips.

One Swipe 
Excuse my tired face but the lipstick looks nice on me :D

The shade no .32 is a beautiful taupe brown color with a hint of pink to it, It looks more brown on the lips. Although I love this shade but for some it may be a personal choice.It appears a little darker than what you see in the picture above. If you are a beauty enthusiast, you would know how much these kind of shades are in demand now a days. I had randomly picked it up and fell in love with it. These will last you 4 - 5 hours and after meals will leave a tint behind which I am ok with and I don't mind reapplying. Whenever I visit again might check more shades in the nude/neutral category because you know I am lipstick obsessed and can never have more..Lol

MLWM Rating: 4.8/5

If you are from Mumbai do check it out they are easily available. Unique Style is an inhouse brand by Beauty Centre just like you would have ULTA makeup stores abroad. I love it and will recommend you try it.I hope this review was useful and helpful to those reading. Do let me know what you think of this chubby lip crayon in the comments section.

Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist Review

Hi everyone,
Now that the weather has changed and gone from hot to rainy and humid, what is the first thing that affects us?? In my opinion it has got to be hair!! As the season changes it affects the overall health of the hair and hairfall is something which needs to be catered to immediately. Now I am not talking about a product related to hairfall but something which will instantly de tangle and freshen your hair in this humid weather as for some of us our hair tends to smell in 2 days of washing them. So is it a hair perfume?? Find out in my review of Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist. Keep on reading to know more...

Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist Review 

Price: Rs. 265/- for 100ml. Available on Nykaa &  Amazon 

Ingredients:

Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist Review 


Brand description:
Blended with natural extracts of apple and green tea, this conditioning mist has an irresistible scent that leaves your hair fresh and shiny. Just one spritz of this and your hair will be filled with a beautiful fragrance that is sure to get you noticed.
  • Add instant shine to your hair
  • Detangles hair
  • Adds fragrance for freshness
  • Alcohol-free

Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist Review 


The product comes in a plastic white opaque spray bottle with all required and necessary information printed on it. The bottle is pretty basic,nothing fancy but is travel friendly in my opinion. 

The product smells amazing in my opinion due to the presence of Apple and Green Tea Extract. It contains no Alcohol which is amazing as it won't dry the hair. The way you need to use it is - Spray on your damp hair post hair wash and then comb with a wide tooth comb as it avoids breakage. Now when I wash my hair I spray a little bit on the scalp because my scalp tends to stink in this humid Mumbai weather and hence I wash my hair every alternate day. This product doubles up as a hair mist and something which acts a detangling spray.

Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist Review 

I have used the Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist in the pic :)

In my opinion and experience it worked well in de tangling my hair and making it soft. I felt the difference in my hair. Even without conditioner my hair felt softer but not frizz free although there was some shine but nothing out of the box. Since I have an oily scalp it worked well for me and I love how the smell lingers all day. You can use it other days as well even when you haven't washed your hair but make sure you dampen your hair a bit and then spray. Also I would not suggest using this product on a dirty scalp as it may clog your pores and cause hairfall. So nothing is wrong with the product it is just that you must use it on a clean scalp in my opinion. Overall I liked this product as it freshens my hair and scalp, detangles it and the smells lingers in the hair all day. This will suit all hair types as it is lightweight. Go ahead and try it once if you haven't yet.

Iraa Instasheen Conditioning Hair Mist is a must have hair conditioning mist in this humid weather as it instantly freshens the hair and scalp but also detangles the hair making them soft and manageable. Have you tried this product guys?? Do let me know in the comments section.
