BotaVita Cleansing Butter Review

Image
 BotaVita is an environment conscious Japanese skincare brand that creates silicone free, mineral oil free, paraben free, alcohol free skincare. The brand embodies the concept of gentle and effective skincare. I recently tried their popular cleansing butter and here are my thoughts BotaVita Cleansing Butter is a soft balm cleansing butter with highly moisturizing Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter, and six white flower essences. The soft, butter-like melting texture, gently melts makeup while providing hydration. The packaging is very minimalist a very basic flat white jar. No fancy design and no spatula . Overall I like the design. I expected the jar to be leak proof but for some odd reason the butter kept ooozing out from the sides in liquefied form. So that was a bit of a bummer. But then I don't blame the brand entirely. The weather was freaking 108F/ 43C and a lot of things were melting.  The product was in a semi molten form. Melted Butter ? Like I have said before the weather w...

CLIO Kill Lash Mascara Remover Review

Image
 My favorite makeup item has to be mascara. I just get enough of it. I have around 15 tubes of mascara open right now . I have tried multiple korean mascara's and liked them too but they are so hard to remove that I just stopped using them altogether. I have used special designated eye makeup removers, oil cleansers, balm cleansers but still there is  still a bit of residue left and my lashes tend to fall out post removal I saw CLIO Kill Lash Mascara Remover online and decided to add that to my cart with hopes that this might solve the problem and to my utter surprise it did.  The bent brush applies content on the front, back and under the eyelashes in detail. The brush can cleanse each lash meticulously because it holds content densely! No more complicated cleansing that requires rubbing! After applying the product on the eyelashes, simply wipe clean with a cotton pad. That�s it for mascara cleansing! Because it has higher oil content than Lip & Eye Removers, it can ...

KEEP COOL Soothe Bamboo Serum Cleanser Review

Image
Keep Cool launched a really cool product this month to knock the socks off your feet . It is nothing short of extraordinary . This is my first time hearing about a serum cleanser. A gel-type cleansing gel infused with 10% Bambusa Vulgaris Water to moisturize skin, leaving a refreshing feeling. Contains Centella Asiatica Extract to strengthen the skin barrier to protect skin from external aggressors, as well as Jojoba Seed Oil and Cocoa Extract to prevent moisture loss and rejuvenate skin. The dense bubbles help remove skin impurities for clean skin. Suitable for sensitive skin. I really appreciate the slightly frosted / Clear squeeze tube packaging. Makes it more recycle friendly and ofcourse hygienic. I love the sturdy flip overall the aesthetics are so on point Coming to the product itself it looks like maple syrup or treacle. Texture is viscous and looks so inviting and delicious ( still thinking about food ) thanks to its rich amber color . Since it is serum cleanser it flows easil...

Image
 Mugwort has become the hot ingredient of this year and for a good reason too, How else were we going to calm out makne covered faces ? This mask has been around for a few years and it is a cult favourite too but because of the current situation it took me a long time to get my hands on this.  AXIS-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash-Off Pack is the solution for Maskne. With the constant mask wearing there has been a rise in mask wearing induced acne, so AXIS-Y decided to formulate a mugwort mask pack which would solve this issue. This wash-off pack is enriched with 61% Mugwort Extract to soothe irritations, unclog pores and cleanse skin. Use this 2-3 times a week to keep the inflammation away, so you can wear your face mask without worrying about another acne breakout. I love the compact plastic tub. I like the size and how the mask is filled to the very top This also comes in with a spatula. Mine was tucked in side the lid This has a nice pleasant herb scent to it.  Unlike m...

[Review] IPKN Personal Mood Palette Warm Pressed

Image
 Today I am reviewing an everyday use palette. All the colors are neutral/ earth toned and dont overwhelm the face.  I have been eyeing IPKN for a really ling time, I find finally got the opportunity to try a few products and share my review. Unfortunately,  during transit one of the eyeshadow popped out of the pan and caused mess but a few drops of rubbing alcohol and several Qtips resuscitated the palette to a better condition.  Palette as hot as the Summer Heat! IPKN New York launches its take on the warm tone-specific make-up with this 9-pan palette filled with shades suitable for warm skin tones. Perfect for daily use. This is a 9 pan Palette, the colors are soft . There is a variety of matte, satin and pearl shades. Instead of giving names to all shades that none of us probably remember . IPKN took a practical step of numbering the eyeshadows  Shade 01: Is a staple cream shade we all need to brighten, set and blend eyeshadow Shade 02: Is a Pearlscent pale...

Image
 I haven't reviewed any sunscreens in a really long time because I have around 8-9 sun screens open at the moment which I need to use up fast before they expire GRAYMELIN is a new brand for me. I was oblivious to their existence until Joohky introduced me to the brand  Product Description A moistful daily sun cream which perfectly protects skin against harmful UV rays leaving a fresh finish without any sticky feeling or white cast. Formulated with 6 botanical ingredients, soothes and protects sensitive skin from external harmful elements.

I had a bright backdrop in my cupboard which matched the bottle perfectly so I used it for the photography . I peeled off the silver sealed and the first thing I noticed was the citrus scent mixed in with green tea. According to the ingredients listut do...

Peripera Ink Mood Matte Tint Review

Image
 I hope you guys are not fed up with my lippie reviews these days because I have a lot of lip products reviews lined up  Peripera Ink Mood Matte Tint were launched recently. The packaging is different then their usual ink bottles. I love how they color coded the plastic tubes to the actual product inside. Makes it super easy to locate in the lipstick drawer.  Vivid color survival due to thin application on the lips and little smudging on masks. A comfortable mood without needing any more description. Matte blur lips from the center of the lips to the edge with clear, refreshing blur correction without any stuffy feelings Packaging is very chic. I love the semi opaque lids and the velvet like plastic tube. The sponge tip applicator has a curve which hugs your lips so that the tint coats your lips evenly and you don't need any additional tools for making it look uniform I am a bit scared of matte lip products because they make my lips look small and ugly like dried up prune...
