IT'S A 10 MIRACLE LEAVE IN CONDITIONER- REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on a roll today trying to post alot many reviews since I often go on long pause. Dont know why is that? Some days I like providing my honest reviews but some days I get tired of posting. But I will continue to share my reviews as and when I come about something amazing or something totally ridiculous.


Leave in conditioner is very important part of my hair product collection since I have split end and I use styling tools on my hair all the time and now I am going to even bleach my hair so leave in conditioner to provide that constant care to my hair making it look life like and healthy.

I have heard so much about Its a 10 miracle leave in conditioner and I was intrigued.

Price: Rs. 1200 ($14-$16) for 4 oz
It is quiet expensive and it is worth it? I would say yes.

Packaging is quiet sturdy and it comes in a spray like cap top bottle. Okay it might be just me being crazy but it smells exactly like ralph lauren ralph edt to me. I dont like the smell but once I get over the smell and spray the product onto my palms, the product is like creamy consistency and 2 pumps is enough for my mid length hair.
What product claims:

I agree with many a things it claims to do except making it softer and creating silkiness. It does make it more manageable and more alive but it doesnt soften my hair anymore than its natural state.
Also for those who have super damaged hair, get the Keratin version of it and for those with fine light weight hair get the extra lite version and for blonde hair type get the blonde version. Its good that they have many variations for different type and texture of hair type.

Overall rating: 4.7/5



BIOSILK SILK THERAPY SERUM- REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aloha everyone!!!

I hope the day is treating you well. I have yet another product review for you guys and this is a special one since I love this product alot.


Who doesn't want to have shiny and soft as feather hair. I am always on a look out for shine serum, spray that can give me tons of shine and soft as silk hair and my search landed me on Biosilk once. Biosilk and Chi silk infusion are from same company Farouk Inc. and both are made from actual threads of silk. I dont know how much truth is in that but I can tell you when I use either one of these I fall in love with my hair with every touch. I already did a review on CHI SILK INFUSION- to check that post out CLICK HERE 

Biosilk differs from CHI silk infusion in price and in overall quality a little. Biosilk has a slight thicker consistency, still flowy but in comparison to Chi silk infusion a little more density it holds. Biosilk smells like a perfume some say as cheap perfume and some like the smell. Personally I feel it smells good but chemically good. When you will smell it you would get this strong chemical oriented scent which for me is tolerable.

You only need a tiny drop because more than that can make your hair greasy and that is the reason one bottle of Biosilk will last a very long time. Though the product expiry date is in 1 year from manufacturing, how the hell am I suppose to use an entire bottle in a year. I recommend getting a smaller size bottle, like 2 oz. The serum is very easy to rub between palms and to distribute through out hair length .
This serum does make my hair more shiny and more soft but it doesnt tame my flyaways like Chi silk infusion does. Oh yes, this product is paraben free which is plus plus for chemically treated hair.



Price: $12- $15 for 5.64 fl oz

Overall rating: 3.9/5

I love this product but honestly I will recommend to try Chi silk infusion because that is something that every girl should have.

REVLON colorburst Lip Gloss- Review!!!!!!

Though I know I might be the last person to do a review on this product but I decided to do it anyway since it will be my opinion about them out there.

Price: Rs. 430 
Qty: 5ml
Availability: all beauty stores

I have to agree that these lip glosses changed my perception  about lip glosses. I always hated glosses considering they are sticky gooey and just something about there gel like consistency that makes me hate them but these are nothing like my perception.

These are creamy in texture not sticky just creamy and so easy to glide onto the lips and the long wand doe-foot applicator makes the application easy. It comes in many different shades and the pigmentation is amazing considering they are only glosses. Also these glosses are super hydrating and it keeps my lips soft after day long application ofcourse with multiple touchups.

If you are looking for good lip glosses with good pigmentation and longevity and overall good quality I did recommend these. 

Rating: 3.5/5

L to R: Bordeaux, Sienna sparkle, Strawberry, Rose gold, Orchid

Dont know why Strawberry is coming off to be orange but its not, it is bright pinky coral!!!



NYX JUMBO LIP PENCIL- Review!!!

Hello all!!

I have been using nyx jumbo lip pencil for quiet sometime now and I am loving these babies.

I bought quiet a few online and omg the pigmentation is to die for. The formula is so soft that it easily glides on my lips without having to fall in the cracks of my lips.
The lip color stays on my lips for good 4-5 hours and then leaves a nice strong stain.

Price: INR 400 ($4.50)

It comes in 24 exciting shades. Oh also when I initially bought this I had doubts regarding how to sharpen them since they are not twist ups. Buy a big size jumbo sharpener and it will easily sharpen since the material though seems like plastic but isn't.

Oh forgot to mention the best part is most of them are matte in texture and only few are shimmery once. Love for matte:):)

Rating: 4/5



L to R: Narcisse, Maroon, Deep Red, Bronze

Check out the color intensity and this is from just one swipe

Tigi Bed Head After Party hair product- Review!!!!

Hey guys!


Today just doing a quick first impression/review on the product I got yesterday which is Tigi Bed Head After Party cream which I am so glad I tried.

The product claims to provide shine, silkiness and smoothness to hair.
Price: Rs. 800- Rs1000 (depends where you buy from)
Qty- 100 ml
Texture- Product is light creamy in texture
Smell- it smells amazing like a baby soap.
Application: to be applied on styled hair for shine and frizz free look.

When I first squirted a small amount of cream on my hand, I looked at it and thought omg! this is going to be thick, heavy and greasy and probably going to make my hair oily like a chump but to my surprise this cream is not at all heavy or greasy. It might appear that way but as soon as I rubbed it into my palms it melted into almost a serum like texture which was super easy to apply and the product just glide through my hair.
I am in love with it.

What it really does for me?
Silkiness: Hell yes, made my hair super soft like a silk cloth
Smooth out frizzes: yes, I find it to dial down the crazy frizz for me
Shine: Ummm, not so much. I dont think it adds shine to my hair.

But when i can simply glide my fingers through my hair and having no frizzes, i am all good.
It wont weigh down your hair: doesnt matter fine or thick hair texture. You guys need to try it. You wont be disappointed.
I am in love with it again.

Big Sexy Hair All Nighter Hair Spray: Spray and Stay


Today I am reviewing a hair holding spray. We girls curl, wave or straighten our hair all the time. Making it into a messy bun or perfect braid or any hairstyle will go in vain if it is not able to hold its position.
Hair holding sprays help to maintain rigidity of hairstyle and flaunt them for hours. I personally always am on a lookout for good holding sprays and today I will be reviewing one such hair spray that is Big Sexy Hair All Nighter Hair Spray: Spray and Stay




I bought this online for Rs.1500 ($25) but it is lot cheaper if you can purchase it from US or Canada (original price $15).
I absolutely adore this hair spray. I usually place my hair in a tight top bun and this hair spray helps keep my hair frizz free and in that bun for hours. The only issue is it sometimes makes my hair crunchy and tangled up and due to this reason I am not calling it my HG product.
No it doesn’t leave any residue or those weird white flakes in my roots. I don’t think it adds any shine to my hair either. But it does what it claims and that is holding hair in one place for long hours.

So overall if you are on hunt for a good holding spray aside from Loreal elnett or Fekkai, lookout for this baby which is a good enough product.

Overall rating: 4/5 (reducing points for crunchy feeling that I get sometimes with it)


Loreal Paris True Match BB cream vs. Garnier BB cream -Review/Comparison

Hello everyone, I hope day is treating you well. I am a little free today so decided to post bunch of reviews since I don’t get to do them often. So this specific post is review/ comparison between Loreal True match BB cream vs. Garnier BB cream.


BB cream stands for beauty balms that are slightly liquidy creamy in texture that are for sole purpose of enhancing the look of skin making it more fair, glowing, smooth and moisturize. Imagine combination of moisturizer, foundation and illuminator together and bam! You have your BB cream ready. I like BB creams more than foundation for a lot many reasons:
    1)      Light coverage
    2)      Moisturizer
    3)      Can be used everyday
    4)      Does make my face dry or cakey
I go for foundation only when I need heavy coverage and some special occasion awaits and for the rest of the days BB cream has become a must.

So enough babbling lets dive in the review/comparison.

Garnier BB cream review:

Garnier BB cream comes only in one shade if my facts are right which might seem weird since we all have different skin tone but here is why I like it, you don’t need many shades since it will work as a moisturizer and illuminator without foundation effect. What I mean by that is, its soul purpose is to give our face a fresh look, more dewy like but it has no skin color. Once you pat the cream on your skin, it will quickly absorb in skin give it a glow but no added fairness. You will understand when you see the swatches down below.

The consistency is flowy and application is super easy. It does not dry up as quickly as you put on your skin giving few seconds to pat as required.

Price: Rs 175

Qty: 40 g

Expiry date: 36 months
Packaging is sturdy as well.

Loreal Paris True Match BB cream review:

I have mixed feeling about this cream. Some days I love it others not so much. The consistency is more firm, cream like. It is easy to apply and pat onto the skin. The problem with this cream is sometimes it makes my face looks cakey because it lacks more moisturizing properties and has more foundation properties.
It makes my face look bright, more finished but I have to apply a good amount of moisturizer underneath.

Price: Rs 595

Qty:30 ml

Expiry date: 12 months

It comes in 3 shades,

Cool tone: ivory N1

Neutral: gold G2

Warm tone: honey beige


Comparison:
Garnier BB cream
Loreal True Match BB cream (shade gold: the one I am reviewing)
Pros:
     1)      Price is affordable
     2)      Moisturizing
     3)      Illuminates face giving glow to skin
     4)      Doesn’t make my face cakey
     5)      Don’t need to apply moisturizer underneath
     6)      Makes my skin even toned
Pros:
     1)      More shades are available to choose from
     2)      Makes skin brighter, fairer
     3)      Gives a smooth skin
Cons:

     1)      Only one shade
     2)      Light coverage
     3)      Effect only stays for 4-5hrs
     4)      Need to apply foundation for better coverage
Cons:
  1.         Makes my face cakey sometimes
  2.         Can be drying
  3.        Price high in comparison to other good bb creams
  4.         Need to apply moisturizer underneath

Overall rating: 3.7/5
Overall rating:3.4/5

Again it depends on skin type and personal preference. This is purely my opinion and can differ from person to person.

Review on Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-In Conditioner!!!!!!!

Hey guys!!!!


Hope all you all are doing well and today I have another exciting review on Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-In Conditioner. If you know me you would know I am a hair product-holic. I like trying out various products in the market for shine, silkiness, frizzes, split end and what not. So one day my search landed on this beauty and I decided to try it even though the price was tad bit higher in my opinion but I had heard so much about it and I just couldnt resist and I bought it.

I bought it about 1 and a half year ago and the bottle is no way near finished. It claims to strengthen, detangle and provide beautiful shiny hair with its soy tri-wheat component. One advice though, this product is rich in protein so if you already have healthy hair, dont use it. Protein helps strengthen your hair and provide better hair growth but if your hair is not lacking in protein and you use too much of it than protein can lead to making hair cracky and break them.
But if you have damaged hair like mine this baby is something of a must-have.

I use it on my damp hair before I blowdry or air dry my hair. This does detangle as it promises, shine I dont know but does it make my hair healthy? Hells ya! It is an amazing product which will start showing its effect in 6 months and you will actually feel the improvement in quality of your hair.
The product comes with a protective plastic cap.


I dont know why but I do feel it helps to reduce my split ends too coz since I have been using it I have less split ends.
Price: $16 (Rs 2000)



Qty: 8oz

The product doesnt have any kind of smell as far I can smell, hehe. And also product does not make your hair scrunchy or anything like that.

Final verdict: If you have dull, brittle or poor hair quality, this product is gonna be your HG.

Rating: 4.7/5 ( reducing point on availability and price)

Review on Tigi Bed Head Ego Boost Split End mender- leave in conditioner!!!!



In the age of flat irons, blow dryers and curling tools split end has become somewhat of a companion of our hair ends depleting the quality of hair and shunning the growth once split end has made its way to the very ends.
I have had issues of split end since I was a little girl and every month trimming also doesn’t solve any problem. Trimming cuts about 1 inch of hair length but many a times split ends are in middle of the hair strand or sometimes quiet high then the very ends which leads to missing out on cutting split ends.

I sit with scissors once a week specifically cutting the split end one by one and what I find next week is more split ends. It becomes an endless cycle. And its not necessary that split end occur only due to heat application, sometimes split end are just part of hair growth making hair look more lifeless. So today I am going to review Tigi bed head split end mender.

I have been using this product for about a year now and trust me it does work, well, till the time your expectations are real. It actually helps in improving the quality of hair ultimately eliminating split ends. Don’t imagine it to work miraculously and you never having to have split ends. I still do have split ends but the amount has reduced magnificently.  Alongside split end mender I do use other split end remedy product that I will be reviewing one after another and I owe it to all of them for my improved hair growth.

Price: Rs. 990 to Rs 1500 ($15) (Depending on where you buy it from)


Qty: 200ml/8oz

What the product claims:
·         Protects dry, damaged hair from external aggressors
·         Smoothes, seals hair & repairs split ends
·         Leaves hair looking healthy

How to use: Apply sparingly to hair after shampooing

My suggestion: Depending upon you hair length, take a decent amount in your palms and rub just to get the product going more paste like and apply on wet hair (I wont recommend applying on dry hair). 

Oh also this product might feel bit sticky on the palms but not on hair, it glides smoothly onto my hair.
And btw it smells amazing. If you have smelled garnier anti wrinkle cream, it has a very similar smell to that (my mother used to use garnier cream-thats how I know:-p)

Final verdict: I love this product and will recommend to anyone who has been dealing with dull, dead split end prone hair. This product does work immensely well to improve condition of hair. Try it!
