e.l.f. Essential Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick Review

Today I am reviewing e.l.f. Essential Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick(£3.00). When I saw them online I thought to grab all the shades but few were not available. There are total 7 beautiful shades available to try and I got 4 of them for me. The Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick is a tinted lip color that glides on like a lipstick but looks like a gloss. With nourishing Jojoba, Soybean and Vitamin E key ingredients, it conditions and moisturizes the lips.

The Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick comes in a white matte chubby pencil like packaging. It twists up/down so you do not have to use pencil sharpener. It has clear cap so you can easily find the shade you are after. The end of pencil is coloured in a similar shade as the gloss. It has sweet peppermint fragrance that fades away after application. It does not cause any tingling sensation on my lips. This lip gloss sticks glide smoothly on lips and gives shiny finish. All four are nicely pigmented and also buildable. Apply one layer to achieve a light wash of color, or apply more to get a richer, intense color payoff.

These lip glosses are so moisturising that no need to put anything on underneath. Just apply it and go, that’s it. I only got one cremy shade rest three have glitter flakes in them, that are noticeable when applied. They do not feel sticky on lips as they are not lip glosses which makes them even better. The color pay off is really good. They last average 4-5 hours on my lips even after drinking then have to re-apply.

Flirty & Girly is vivid fuchsia shade with heavy shimmers in it. It has frosty finish. I really like this bright colour with shimmers. It is showstopper shade for me. The shimmers are pretty prominent, and although they do feel textured on the lips, they do not feel uncomfortable on by any means. This is a great shade for a night out.

Pink Umbrella is a true pink with a cool undertone. This is one of my favorites! It gives a natural looking pop of soft pink to the lips. This shade goes with any look. It also has some silver glitters in it.

Tiki Torches is a coral shade with gold glitters in it. It is perfect warm shade for summer. This one I use as eyeshadow too, and it looks beautiful.

Movie Star is a berry red with cream finish. It is not loud colour. It gives sheer red lips.

Overall, they are very affordable Lip Gloss Sticks. The lasting power is good. You can pick few shades if you are looking for a moisturizing gloss that feels comfortable on the lips and packs a punch in the pigment department. If you like sheer colour then I would recommend e.l.f. Studio Conditioning Lip Balms as they hydrate the lips and give beautiful looking tinted lips.

You can buy e.l.f. Essential Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick from UK website here. If you are staying in India you can buy them from iherb.

Deborah Mitchell Heaven Divine Cream Review

Today I am reviewing Deborah Mitchell Heaven Divine Cream(15ml,£61.88) which I have been sent very kindly to try and review on my blog. Actually I have been sent this cream 3 months ago while I was in UK. After shifting to India I was very much busy for first two months and have not got chance to try it.

The packaging is so gorgeous in pink with shiny silver pump cap. I always admire when skincare products have pump dispenser to get the product out. You get the right amount of product and it does not create any mess. It is rich cream yet lightweight with delicate orange fragrance which is not overpowering at all. It is infused with some great essential oils like Witch Hazel, Lavender, Mandarin and Orange. It also has Vitamin A, E and other Silk Protein, D.S.H. This Divine Cream is suitable for all skin types. It repairs the damaged skin by increasing collagen and elastin levels. It also treats pigmentation including scars and acne scarring. It is anti-aging cream that decreases depth of wrinkles.

I have been using this Divine Cream in the morning and night too on cleansed skin. It moisturises and hydrates the skin very well and gets absorbed into the skin quickly. It feels very comfortable on skin. I love how it plumps up my skin and gives that velvety feeling on skin throughout the day. It helps to improve the firmness and elasticity of skin. The natural source of Vitamin C, brightens the face and skin looks more radiant. I am totally in love with this Divine Cream.

Nivea Nourishing Lotion Body Milk Review

Today I am reviewing Nivea Nourishing Lotion Body Milk(Rs. 299) is a 24h nourishing lotion for very dry skin. I have been using this nourishing lotion since last 3 months and I am so loving it. This is my 2nd 400ml bottle so you may guess how much I love it! As you may know I have dry skin and in winter my skin gets very dry so I need extra moisture during this colder months to get rid off dry skin and rough patches.

Nivea Nourishing Body Milk comes in a navy blue bottle with a pump dispenser. The bottle is made up of hard plastic. The product can be easily squeezed and locked when not in use. This 400ml pack is not very travel friendly, though you can buy smaller variants 75ml or 200ml in case you want to carry it along with you. It smells very much like other Nivea products, mild and pleasant, only lasts for 2-3 hours on body. The consistency of this body milk is quite runny. I find it easier to spread on the skin without making any extra efforts. This Nivea body milk is composed of avocado and almond oil along with hydra IQ, these ingredients come together to form a blend of moisture and hydration for your skin. Avocado oil slows down the skin’s ageing process and ensures that your skin stays protected against any damage. Almond oil extract helps to keep skin moisturized for long hours.

I apply this body milk in the morning after shower and also during night before going to bed. After I have started using this lotion my rough patches have completely gone. This body milk keeps my skin well moisturised throughout the day. While other body lotions I have to re-apply them after few hours which is very annoying. It adds lovely sheen to my skin which I really like. It is the best body lotion for winters to provide hydration and nourishment. It deeply conditions your whole body and easily spread on the skin. I do not have to massage a lot to make it get absorbed, and it does not leave any greasy feeling behind.

The lotion is suitable for daily use and I have not suffered with any adverse effects. It is suitable for all skin types and people with extremely dry skin will love it. The body milk provides a nourishing feeling making my dry, thirsty skin feel quenched. My skin feels soft, smooth and nourished. The lotion claims to stay for 24 hours but I usually need to apply it once during the night. The only problem I have with this lotion is, it will not help in protecting your skin from sun since there is not SPF.

So what do you think about Nivea Nourishing Lotion Body Milk? Have you already tried it? What is your favourite Nivea product during winter? Let me know your thoughts in comment section below.

You can buy Nivea Nourishing Lotion Body Milk from Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa and many other stores online.
