L'Oreal Paris True Match Skin Idealizing BB Cream

Hello all!

Unlike others, my skin problems don’t alternate between seasons. They are consistent in their approach, and like to stay there throughout the year, come whatever may. L

Some Pyjama-days I am okay to entertain them, and let them be. Other days, I get mad and feel like peeling them off. Following the ‘Premier-Concealer-Foundation-Blah ‘  ritual  , seems bit of a head ache on normal days.

But fortunately for us, God exists. And so do Germans (Since they thought of inventing a BB Cream.) This all purpose makeup hybrid promises to do the job of five or six other jars and tubes: moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, skin treatment, concealer, and foundation.

So, here I am reviewing the ‘L’Oreal Paris True Match BB Cream ‘for you. J

.

First of all, I like the packaging. The subtle Golden colour of the box gives it certain elegance. However, the tube inside seems small.

Company promises :

 “True Match BB cream is a smooth milky emulsion with a touch of tint for natural coverage and a luminous satin finish. Discover your true match from amongst 3 flawless shades : Ivory , Neutral and Warm.Powered with SPF 35 PA+++ and Collagen providing 24 hour hydration, its the1st hyaluronic bb cream: secures moisture for healthy youthful skin.’

 A very little amount when dabbed on the skin is enough. One has to be sure of not to rub it on the face like a normal moisturiser or face cream. It has to be dabbed with the forefinger on the prime areas, blending it thus.

Also, it needs about fifteen minutes to seep into your skin

 L’Oreal charges 550 INR for a small tube , but it is acceptable when compared to the price commanded by other premier brands which charge much more for products belonging to same genre.

Yumms:

-       Colour matches my tone. (luckily )

-       Ease of usage.

-       Blends beautifully.

Yuckks :

-Limited colour options

-Lil heavy on the pores

All in all, a must have product, to save you the hassle of covering yourself with layers of make up.

Victoria's Secret Endless Love Apple Blossom & Ylang Ylang Hydrating Body Lotion .Review.

Okay. I will admit. Reading the name 'Victoria's Secret' on the label gives me a turn ON. Yes, i do obsess over it. It takes me to places, to fantasies and lands me up in a hypothetical world of shimmer, away from reality. It has its own magic.

But wait! What exactly is Ylang Ylang?

 It is a yellow-flowered tree, native to Malaya and the Philippines, from which ylang-ylang oil is obtained.' It has been used customarily for promoting thick beautiful hair as well as smooth skin. Its sweet and floral aroma is very calming and relaxing.

What the product claims:

"An irresistible, fresh fragrance. Believe in Endless Love, romantic with bright apple blossom and ylang ylang. Experience the luxury of fragrant hydration. Fast-absorbing formula contains nourishing aloe, oat and grapeseed extracts, plus antioxidant vitamins E and C. Massage on for silky, replenishing moisture. Skin feels soft, smooth and touchable: the ultimate sexy sensation."

Now now, First of all, it’s beautiful to look at. Like really, when you see the product sitting on the shelf, basking in its own elegance, you are tempted. But again what product of its lineage hasn't made you skip a beat?

To come out of the bathroom, smelling as wonderful as an apple blossom itself, intrigues everyone. The silage that lingers around the place is alluring, however not long lasting enough to interest oneself for long.

The consistency is perfect. By it I mean just perfect. It is not runny, so minimises wastage .Neither is it thick, to clot in chilly weather. It stays put through out.

                                   Right hand side has the moisturiser on it 
. 

                                 Fingers on the left have the moisturiser.
It blends with the skin when applied and moistens it aptly, though not for long. Once applied you might need a second helping after three to four hours.

Talking about price, it’s available online on websites like Flipkart.com and Jabong .com for 900 INR. Though some retailer offer it at a price as low as 750 INR. Since, it’s not a readily available article, you might avoid bargaining much.
