Meena Herbal Hand and Foot Scrub | Review

0

About a month ago Meena Herbal sent me their Hand & Foot Scrub along with their body scrub (review here) to try them out. Even before that I have been using another pack of this product. Meena Herbal, a pure Bangladeshi company who launched this product almost recently.

Meena Herbal Hand & Foot Scrub is available all over the country, costs only BDT 150/-.
Needless to say, this type of product which is made in BD is totally a new concern.

The product comes in a plastic 100g tube packaging with a screw cap. It claims to be a solution for at home manicure and pedicure. It says that the product gently removes dead skin while hydrating and conditioning the skin.
You can look for ingredient list from the picture if you want.

How’s my experience?

Firstly, to be honest, I was really excited to try this only because in our country its new to get such ‘deshi-manufactured’ product.
Before this, I was totally depending on my regular ST. Ives scrub even for my hands.
The firs thing I love about the product is its smell. Its smells really nice. Product packaging is satisfactory as well. You’ll find the price and manufacture date in the Packaging crimp.

This scrub is clay based, off-white in color. The scrub has a creamy texture and fine scrubbing particles in it. Those scrubbing particles are really fine to look at, but they work effectively. Doesn’t feel harsh on the skin either. Generally I use this every day before I go to shower, rub my hands and feet with it. It does remove dead skin and skin feels really smooth afterward.

Now, as it claims, the product will take care of your manicure and pedicure needs. In that case, I’ll say, yes it is good to exfoliate your skin but can’t be a substitute for the whole mani/pedi procedure because you’ll need to clean your nails which a scrub can’t do.
Overall, this is an affordable and good quality product for your hand and feet. So far I don’t have any complaint about it, eventually, I fell in love from the first use.

I strongly recommend Meena Herbal Hand & Foot Scrub if you haven’t tried it yet.

Astalift Cream & Whitening Cream: First Impression

0

I’m calling this review ‘first impression’ because both of these jars are 5g sample jar that I bought couple of month before to try out Astalift range. Each of the jar last me exact 6 use. One of them mentioned as whitening cream but I found no difference in use, look, texture or even in smell… so that Putting these together in one review.

Both jar has something printed instruction in Japanese(maybe) which i cant read ofcourse. But the whitening cream jar has the ingredient list sticker in English which i peel of to see what is under neath.
It also says that the product protects skin from UV rays and prevent blemishes and freckles.
It wasn’t mentioned in the jar if its a day cream or what, however the claims for UV protection makes it a day cream i guess.

Now, both cream has same apricot fragrance, texture and color, they also feels the same in skin. Though they are day cream but I used them at night to observe their effect closely.
It was end of summer when i bought them. My combination skin felt sticky in the first use… nothing like greasy but sticky, then i stopped using it. Later when the winter was coming and weather was cold I thought to try them again. And surprisingly this time they didnt feel that sticky on face. I loved the smell and finely smooth texture. They absorb into skin so nicely and leaves nicely hydrated skin throughout the night. The cream does really feel luxurious on skin but it failed to heal dry patches on my skin.
I finished both of the jar by using them 11 nights in a row but haven’t noticed any bit of change in my skin or skin texture.
Astalift range is definitely pricey, however in my realization, its nothing magical the way they claims.  I tried these sample jars with the intention to get a full size product but now i think it doesn’t worth spend that high(in BD the 30g jar costs BDT 7000+) on these creams. I would rather try something else for sure.

***Just to remind you, skincare product effect does varies skin to skin, so which didnt work for me might work for you.

Hello guys,
Today’s review is about Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color Sugar Plum Fairy. This was sent by the cosmetic shop  LOOK for reviewing purpose. Just to remind you, my reviews are based on my honest opinion and I’m not being paid or biased to do this.

About the color:
This color is some kind of dark coll toned plumy or berry fuchsia though varies on light effect. Has strong blue undertone in it.

About the product:
Packaging is usual simple but sturdy plastic tube with transparent lid . Lipstick has flat rounded top which often get stuck with the lid while closing. Smells nothing bad at all.

Product has a semi-matte texture and fully moisturizing on lip. Color pigmentation of this one is fantastic, one swipe is more than enough to get the color. Stains hard on lip, you’ll need to lot of work to remove that from lip. Though it has a semi-matte finish, it applies creamy and glides on so smoothly without feathering or bleeding. Other lipsticks, from this range i tried, does last for 3/4 hor but this one some how last forever on lip even you eat or drink. 

This color is a bold and deep color to wear but whoever loves such color can wear it anytime. I personally love the shade. You dont have this yet, I’ll say get one… this is a must have for your collection.

2
Hello Ladies,
I’m back with another review post. Its Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color Cherry Picking today.
This was sent by the cosmetic shop  LOOK for reviewing purpose. Just to remind you, my reviews are based on my honest opinion and I’m not being paid or biased to do this.

 
About the color:
Cherry picking is a cherry red but with a very strong pink undertone which makes it somehow deep fuchsia specially with white indoor ligh you will see nothing but a deep fuchsia color. However, in day light its a cherry/cool pink toned red.
 
 

 

About the product:
So, the product comes in usual simple but sturdy packaging. Lipstick has flat rounded top which often get stuck with the lid while closing. Smells nothing bad at all.
Lipstick has a semi-matte texture and quite moisturizing on lip. Color pigmentation of this one is fantastic, one swipe is more than enough to get the color. Stains hard on lip, you’ll need to lot of work to remove that from lip.

Though it has a semi-matte finish, it applies creamy and glides on so smoothly without feathering or bleeding. Other lipsticks, from this range i tried, does last for 3/4 hor but this one some how last forever on lip even you eat or drink.

Now this color of Wet n Wild is an universal color I think. Anyone, everyone with any skin tone can wear it anytime. You dont have this yet, I’ll say get one… this wont disappoint you.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter Juicy Papaya

2
The cosmetic shop  LOOK BD, sent me this Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in shade ‘Juicy Papaya’ for reviewing purpose. Keep in mind that my reviews are only based on my experience and honest opinion, I’m not being paid or biased by anyone.
 
***For BD people: you can contact  LOOK for their pricing and other purchasing details of this product.
 
 
Firstly…. who haven’t experienced Lip butters yet, this is no lipstick, its a lip butter or you can say balm with a hint of tint.
Revlon came up with these earlier this year i guess with lot many beautiful shades. The most attractive part of this product is its packaging. The lid cap resemble with the shade inside, so vibrant and colorful with Revlon’s signature texture and design.
Smells something sweet, maybe flowerish, I’m not sure though.
Juicy papaya is a baby soft peach color, in stick it looks similar to ripe papaya. I must admit, its a real pretty color. As because its a butter so its sheer and just gives a hint of color in lip. Color appearance on lips will depend on your lip under tone. Like in my term the color turned somehow pinkish on lip.

Texture of the product is absolutely mind blowing, buttery smooth, extremely moisturizing for hours, non sticky or greasy and gives luxurious feeling. I was amused by how it hydrates and restore moisture on lip, specially when its winter now. When I’m home I’m quite freaky about lip butters and for the product quality I completely fell for this one.

swatch on paper

Therefore, I guess for pure buttery texture it also melt like butter. After couple of use you’ll notice that shape of the stick started shifting and you’ll notice the melted residue in the tip.

Overall, a great product to wear everyday, though this 2.55g of stick wont last long if you use everyday. I’m loving it ever since it got it, A must try product for sure.

Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Cream Eyeliner Black(886)

4
Hello there !
Hope you all doing well.
The cosmetic shop LOOK, BD sent me Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Cream Eyeliner Black(886) for reviewing purpose. I’m here today to write about the product.
Keep in mind, my reviews are completely based on my honest opinion, I’m not being paid or biased by anyone to do this.

 

Lets get started…
Wet n Wild Mega eyes cream eyeliner Black(886)!!
(…Alert!!! A picture heavy post!)
As you can see from the picture, Wet n Wild Mega eyes cream eyeliner Black(886) comes in a plastic cartoon and a glass looking transparent plastic pot. The pot also comes in a sealed plastic wrap. A small brush is also provided with it which i suppose meant to use for applying the liner. 
Good thing I first noticed that this product is cruelty free, not tested on animal, who doesn’t appreciate that! 
 
Have a look at the ingredient and the claims mentioned in the packaging…..
When you will open the lid you’ll see its sealed from inside aswell. You’ll need to peel off the seal to get the product. The pot itself is very good in quality but the lid is a bit cheap looking. 
The provided brush is literally bad in quality, too fat and uneven to use for applying eyeliner. Even when i first saw the brush, bristles were falling apart(see the picture). This is just gonna do nothing, You’ll ofcourse need to use other eyeliner brush to apply the liner.
When I opened the sealed pot I saw the Liner already started drying from the edge as you can see from the picture. I was confused a bit, it is a cream liner i wasnt suppose to dry while its new. However, then I checked it with my eyeliner brush, It was nice and ok. Phew…. I guess, this product is going to dry fast and I’ll have to take good care of it to prevent from drying.
 
The product is really smooth and creamy in consistency and color is opaque. Applies nicely, dries quickly while applying yet gives enough time if you want to smudge it and  lasts forever without fading. yeh, I’m satisfied with the quality.
Now, this product is not waterproof but seriously smudge proof. Picture shown below, I tried to remove it with a tissue after swatch and give few really good rub though it didnt smear at all just faded. In this point i loved it.
Here is some picture wearing Wet n Wild Mega eyes cream eyeliner Black(886) both in my upper and lower lash line.
Overall, I’ll say Wet n Wild Mega eyes cream eyeliner Black(886) is a satisfactory product as well as budget friendly. Give it a try if you looking for a cream eyeliner.
***but but.. one biggest drawback that i found, within a month the whole pot dried out. This was totally disappointing, I used it not more than 8/10 times.
 

Many thanks for reading, I’ll be here soon with a new post. Do comment and follow.

Review & Swatch: MUA matte lipstick Scarlet Siren

4
Hello Beautiful, hope you all doing well. A few days ago I was sent three Makeup Academy(MUA) matte lipstick for reviewing purpose. Today I’m reviewing 2nd one of them named “Scarlet Siren”. Check the review of another MUA matte lipstick called “Totally Nude” [here] Keep in mind that my reviews are based on my honest opinion and I’m not paid or biased by anyone.
Let’s get started…..
About the product:
These matte lipsticks are a new addition to MUA range. They come in a white packaging but same as their regular design. Each one contains 3.8g of product. This white packaging is so sleek to look at, I absolutely fell in love with the packaging. It has nice and kind of sweet smell in it which you can never find wrong.

 

My experience and thoughts:

 

My previous experience with MUA regular lipstick was good and of course, I am a big fan of MUA product, as well as, I’m always a matte lipstick lover so when I first saw this lipstick I was so excited to try it. The shade ‘Scarlet Siren’ looks vibrant and opaque red on the stick.
The lipstick has smooth waxy but matte texture. Doesn’t feel drying at all also transfers less than other lipstick and last 4/5 hour easily.
I’m assuming, probably this is the best one from whole MUA matte range which gives satisfying pigmentation, though you’ll need 3/4 coat to get the proper opacity.
The shade has genuinely cool and muted undertone in it but it varies with the light. Best thing I found, Scarlet Siren is not that kind of red which you won’t like to wear every day but somehow it is wearable anytime.
However, because of the waxy texture, it doesn’t look really matte.

This one did meet my satisfactory level. Liked the packaging as well as the product quality. If you wanna try any of MUA matte lipstick I will suggest you try this one.
