Pond's flawless white deep whitening facial foam review

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 10:45 PM PST

Facial foam - Ponds white beauty range has become quiet famous and many girls have been raving about it . I thought of trying it out this time though I know that it will not make me fair :D:D but still i thought of giving it a try.

Ponds technology claims that they have VAO-B3 complex which causes skin and face to appear whiter and it then delievers flawless and radiant skin when used regularly.

Price of Pond's flawless white deep whitening facial foam is Rs 60


Product Description (From website )

Pond's Flawless White Deep Whitening Facial Foam brightens up skin visibly, as it cleanses and refreshes. Especially the VAO-B3 complex helps to give a naturally flawless radiant skin. It leaves the skin soft, smooth and sparkling clean and rids skin of dirt, oil and  darkness causing impurities. It conditions the skin, so the moisturizer can work better.

Product Details

  • Visibly brightens up skin, as it cleanses and refreshes.
  • VAO-B3 complex gives a naturally flawless radiant skin.
  • Leaves skin soft, smooth and sparkling clean.
  • Rids skin of dirt, oil & darkness causing impurities.
  • Conditions skin, so the moisturizer can work bette
Usage: Dampen your face with water. Squeeze the tube to get a pea sized drop and lather it. Use circular movements to apply the foam on your moistened face. Rinse with water. Avoid direct contact with eyes.

Key Ingredients: Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Decyl Glucoside, Niacinamide, Water.


My experience with the product :-

1. Product has fragrance  which makes me feel fresh and clean .
2.  It has a thick creamy texture and one has to dilute it with water and this is the reason it lasts long also.If I do not dilute it then it makes me  feel greasy .
3. After using the ponds face wash it gives nice subtle fairness which is noticeable by many.
4. Constant use of this face wash reduces blemishes and acne scars.I couldn't believe this but it actually did that.I guess this is the reason that this range is loved not only by dark complexion girls but fair complexioned too.
5. I like its nice pink and white packaging
6. It also cleanses deeply right down to the pores.   

Cons- It really hurts badly if it goes under my eyes.

Recommendation - When we go for outing we look for a  face wash which keeps us fresh and remove dullness from our skin .This is a great product to be used that time.I wish they would  have travel size kit  in this.

 Wise She rating - 4/5

Eye make up tutorial with Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow Va Va Va Bloom

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 09:31 AM PST

Eyemake up - I have been wearing Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow Va Va Va Bloom almost every day since the time I got it .Today I thought of sharing my  eye make up  with you before reviewing  the cream eye shadow.

I used these three colour .They are not that pigmented and have subtle shimmer in them.If you want to know what shimmer exactly suppose to be then check out faces eye shadow here.

Any ways it is very very creamy just one wrong move and you will end up make a hole in the creme eyeshadow :(..This is what I did :(


This is the eye make up which I did today

Step 1 - Cleaned my eyes properly and then primed them by applying some foundation and some baby powder on it.Applied the purple eye shadow and covered 3/4 of my eye lid with it.


Step2 - Applied golden eye shadow (you can hardly see the colour because it is more creamy than shimmery but it is quiet subtle isn't? ) on the remaining 1/4th area of the eye lid.

Step3 - Now applied the the third colour which is more of a shimmery beige on my brow bone .I applied it from the crease and stretched it to the brow bone.



Step4 - Now applied Revlon colorstay one stroke defining eyeliner in glazed green on my upper lash line and lower lash line.Applied gold on my tear duct as well .Curled my eyelashes and applied Maybelline mascara on them.


Step5 - Filled my brows with brown eyeshadow and MAC brow set.


and we are done
You can see other Revlon Illuminance cream shadow swatches here 

I teamed it up with Lakme  enrich lip colour today .Check out the whole look here

Dry hair - Top five tips and remedies for dry hair in winters

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 05:57 AM PST

By Mamta, 
Dry hair - Cold weather result in dry hair during winters and winter winds can work havoc with your hair. One needs to expose their hair with some deep conditioning .In this weather our hair gets frizzy, crispy, static and dull. Indoor heat of heaters and hats take a toll on the hair. Dry hair are hard to control and it is one of the most challenging beauty problem in winters for women.

Dry hair occurs when the cells in each strand of hair line up in straight rows are stressed by harsh chemicals and some hair products.



With some simple precaution one can prevent the hair from drying.

Right shampoo – First thing is to use the shampoo specifically formulated for dry hair. This seems like a common sense thing but most of the time we get in the habit of using the same shampoo season after season.

Shampoo which has worked well for your locks in summer will not work the same in winters. Infact it can make your hair even worse. Also avoid these 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner they are not that effective. It is better to invest in a quality product which is designed to repair and protect your dry hair.

It is the right time for split ends to start working their best therefore trims your split ends as soon as possible.

Style your hair with a knot or a twist. Try keeping away from letting your hair open when you go out as cold winds can make your hair rough easily.

Good hair conditioner and hair care tips which works for me in winters:-




1. After applying a good quality hair conditioner lock the moisture by running the hair through cold water. This closes the hair cuticle and locks the moisture in.

2. Whenever I wear tight scarf of hat I notice more split ends then I got to know that tight cap or something restricts circulation to scalp.

3. Wash your hair with warm or cool water. Hot water shower damages skin and hair.

4. Massage your hair with aloe vera juice. This replenishes moisture .

5. I use olive and egg pack to condition my hair .It keeps my hair silky and strong.

With this if you can give hot oil hair treatment to your hair (which I hardly manage to do) then it can cure dry hair problem easily.












Foundation - Max factor lasting performance review ,swatches and pictures

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 03:54 AM PST

 MAX factor foundation - I have always been a foundation person and this you can easily guess my seeing how many foundation reviews have been done on wise she.:D:D. I thought of adding my old Max factor foundation also into my reviews as I have used this product quiet often.

 This used to be HG foundation until I discovered Revlon colorstay foundation and MAC but I liked this one also.It stays on my face whole day , control oil and doesn't break me out.

Price of MAX factor lasting performance is Rs 485 for 35 ml.



I got natural beige 106 for myself

Max factor lasting performance shades


Shade 100 -fair 
Shade 102 - Pastelle 
Shade 105 - Soft beige
Shade 106 - Natural beige
Shade 108 - Honey beige
Shade 101 - Ivory beige 
Shade 111 - Deep beige

Packaging - I liked its packaging because unlike Revlon and Mac which do not give pump with their foundation this one comes in a tube form and this makes me save lot of product.It comes in a simple, small plastic squeeze tube which is simply great from their part.


Consistency and Coverage - It has quiet thick consistency but it blends well  and it gives medium coverage.As the consistency is thick it has a tendency to make me look caked up after a while so one has to blend it nicely.

This foundation gives the flawless even out look only when I use a sponge or my fingers.It doesn't hide much of blemishes or marks.

Moisturizing - This foundation is just not meant for dry skin it makes my skin dry after a while if I do not smear lot of moisturizer on my skin  and that is why it works  best during summer.

Price - It is quiet affordable if you compare it with other high end brand foundations.

Shades - This foundation would have got many lovers if they had tried to bring more shades into it.Very few darker shades are available in this which is quiet a disappointment .

Staying power - It has long lasting staying power and even if I don't do touch ups it stays on my face for 6-7 hours easily.

Will I re-purchase - Though one point of time I truly loved it but now there are many other great foundation available in the market and therefore I will prefer other brand than this one.

Lakme enrich lipcolor classics review, swatches and pictures

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 12:34 AM PST



Hello girls !!!


Monday morning and my hand and legs are all paining.This weekend I played badminton in Hyderabad Gopichand academy and I thoroughly enjoyed playing badi (This is what they call it here ).When I came back I hardly had an energy left in me to even reply to your lovely comments :(


I took out my Lakme enriched lipcolor classics 352 cherry today and reason was Aishwarya.Isn't Aishwarya looking stunning in Guzarrish with her red lipstick.I won't say that it is an Aishwarya inspired make up look which I am doing today but it is Aishwarya inspired lipstick :D:D








Price of Lakme enrich lipcolor is Rs 255 for 4.4mlThough I am not sure about it as I lost the outer covering long back but it is somewhere near to it .

Also Lakme was giving this lisptick as a free gift too some time back.


Product Info Deep conditioning lipcolor enriched with Vitamin E for softer and smoother lips. Contains strawberry, grape seed, and peach extracts to keep lips nourished and soft. Made in India. (From Lakme website)



Swatches of Lakme enrich lipcolor calssic 352 cherry

SHADES: Available in more than 30 shades in Satin, Sheer, Metallic, Classic and Matte Finishes


 My experience with the product - This lipstick is very creamy this you can figure out by the swatches also.It is non drying too and stays on my lips for4-5hours easily without eating or drinking anything.

It is very very very pigmented and if my lips are cracked up in this winter it doesn't settle down into fine lines.

This is how it looks on me




Dislike -  I don't like its smell but it is  not too strong so I don't mind that

Will I re- purchase - Lakme is coming out with its other ranges as well. I will compare both of them then only will think of re-purchasing it :D

Wise She rating - 4/5


 AlsoI got this lovely blog award from Jiya (confession of a shopaholic ) and many other as well.I think I got it from Ladylavendersays also.
You guys keep tagging me and awarding me with many many things and I seriously feel great and honored with your lovely awards.

To tell you the truth I am an eccentric girl and I always think of going ahead with the awards and tags but some how I always forget about them and get involved with my make up and beauty world.I am really really sorry for that.

I would also like to thank Tanveer, Cynthia, Anju , Rentu, Bhumika, Sharon , Mehak , and many other who have given me awards (I know I have missed out few but I told you I am a little eccentric) so please you can let me know if I forgot to thank you .

You guys are special and you know that.We all want to be loved and that is why shower love to others so thanking you all from my heart for all the affection and love.


Also I know I am late but please check out my lovely friend Jiya's give away RIGHT NOW ..It might be its last day today..You can get to purchase goodies worth of $30 from ASOS website so hurryyy :)
