0
If you are a regular viewer of my Blog and FB page (GreenStory) most of you know by now that I won NV Fantasy Look contest and as a gift, I got Lime Crime lipstick in Airborne Unicorn 😀
I must say, nothing can be better, sweeter, cuter gift than a Lime Crime lipstick !I feel lucky that I won !!and…my thanks from heart to all those people who supported me to win 🙂
Now, here is my review of for Airborne Unicorn. Especially, for those who haven’t tried Lime Crime or Airborne Unicorn.
Lime Crime Airborne UnicornLime Crime Airborne Unicorn
Firstly,the packaging…OMG, it just super cute…bright lilacky-pink tube with sparkly holographic unicorn !!!!A tiny fabulous thingy to die for…. seriously I’m not making things up !!!
I must tell you guys some previous story,The owner of NV Cosmetics(Farzan Mitu)gave me the option to choose any shade of LimeCrime lipstick.I was total confused!!! I went through so many reviews and got more confused.there are so many bad reviews about this product (don’t understand why..) !!! I didn’t wanted to play safe side ;p …mean didn’t wanted to get regular color like red/pink…mainly Cosmopop n Airborne Unicorn caught my eyes…and finally, with the help of Farzan Mitu, I choose to go with Airborne Unicorn.Silly me…. HUH !!!!
My first impression about the shade… just the exact color I wanted !!!It is medium violet-lilacy-pink kinda shade but with a fluorescent touch.a touch of fluorescent is the specialty of LimeCrime lipsticksand you definitely need to be brave to wear that ;p

This lipstick is incredibly pigmented and you can build more n more, feels soft n creamy but looks a bit matte which is just more than perfect.doesn’t dry up at all or settle in lip line and doesn’t bleed at all, stays long without fading. If you blot after applying, you’ll see enough n even color pigments in your lipnot like other lipstick, like most of them doesn’t give even pigmentation after blotting.

This shade looks normal in low light but the more you put light on the more neon note will show up.You’ll need to be a bit more careful while you wearing this kinda neon shade.you can wear this color with a nude eye this kinda smoke um wearing.I’ll suggest picking your clothing carefully as well.When you’ll wear this shade, that’ll be the center of attraction so I think keeping matte/dark other colors you wearing will be appropriate. Otherwise, you can do beautiful ombre lip with this. Deep purple or fuchsia will be perfect as a 2nd color of ombre, I guess.

Overall, I’m really enjoying experiencing this Lipstick.I absolutely love the packaging, this unique color, pigmentation and the product quality.This might not for everyone but I recommend to give it a try at least.This is definitely a must have product for a Lipstick lover.
Hope you enjoyed my long post ever !!!Don’t forget to let me know about your thought.Take care you all 🙂

Ponds White Beauty Naturals Spot-less Lightening Cream

6

Worth: BDT 700/- (promo pack with 50g free face wash)
Availability: Any good cosmetic store or Supper shop

Winter in knocking the door and skin is getting dry than normal. Our skin needs some extra care, some extra moisturizer in winter. Can’t just use the same day cream what was a summer favorite! Recently, I picked up Pond’s White Beauty (naturals spot-less lightening cream). It was a promo pack and comes with free 50g face wash tube. Single Jar worth about BDT 750/-. If you found this promo pack, I think it’s quite a bargain for this(700/-) price. This is a product by Hindustan Uniliver LTD, not any BSTI permitted local product yet available almost everywhere.

However, We know there is a pink version of Pond’s White Beauty range available in the market. This green one called ‘Naturals’ because of its natural ingredients like Camellia Leaf extract and all. Have a look at the ingredient list below if you are keen on that.

I wasn’t sure about the product when I picked it that how its gonna be, as it was my first time buying it. Surprisingly, I am loving it from the first use. This cream feels quite similar to the Pond’s Age Miracle day cream that I reviewed earlier.

As always, the packaging is like all other Pond’s product, nice and pretty. The cream itself is very light peach in color, have a sweet herby smell and smooth texture. Absorb pretty quickly in the skin and leaves nice and smooth feeling. Not greasy at all and moisturize perfectly for a long time. Doesn’t leave any whitish film after application. I’m about half way using this cream, I can say this is a good product for winter to keep your skin healthy, though, I believe it’s not gonna work on your spots or your skin tone as it claims. Ponds White Beauty Naturals Spot-less Lightening Cream doesn’t have any SPF/sun protection in it so don’t forget to use your sunscreen while you using this cream.

Another good thing, it didn’t break me out yet. I’ve nothing much to say about this cream, till now I’m satisfied and this is gonna be my regular day cream for this upcoming winter. If you looking for winter cream, I’ll suggest you to give it a try. I believe it will suit all skin type, even if you are having super oily skin.

Have you tried Ponds White Beauty Naturals Spot-less Lightening Cream yet? What is your experience about the product? What is gonna be your winter product? Do let me know 🙂

***I haven’t tried the face wash yet, so can’t say anything about that.

Ponds Age Miracle Day & Night Cream | Review

22

Ponds Age miracle Daily Resurfacing Cream
Worth: BDT 750/- to 800/-

 

I’ve always been in a search for a perfect day+night cream. I’m having combination skin type so it’s quite hard to find the right cream, specially for summer, which will moisturize perfectly, won’t make me feel greasy, won’t leave any white shade and will help to set daily makeup 🙂 I’m 25 now, so I never bothered to think of anti-ageing cream ever. Got this two product through a contest sponsored by Ponds, BD. As I got it for free so thought to give them a try.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

Experience With Ponds Age Miracle Day Cream:

Super attractive packaging to look with, a glass jar with red accent lid. The cream itself has nice smell and soft pink color. Perfectly blends with skin, absorb so quickly, moisturize all day and very light weight to wear and doesn’t cause sweat, greasy feeling or disturb makeup if you wearing afterward. I found it helps to keep skin healthy. It didn’t cause any breakout so far. This was so perfect for my skin in this whole summer. I just loved it in short.

There are a few point I would like to mention,

  • Sun protection (SPF15) surely does not work for our country.
  • I’m not sure if this cream really works for the spot, blemishes or age lines.
  • Might not work for oily/super oily skin.

Ponds Age Miracle Night Cream
Pond’s Age miracle Overnight Repair Dream
Worth: BDT 750/- to 800/-


Experience With Ponds Age Miracle Night Cream:

Again, an attractive packaging just alike the day cream. The cream is white in color with a nice smell. This was the best night cream I’ve used so far. The first day I used it I felt like, “OMG, it feels soooo good”. I found most of the night cream tends to get oily but this one, NO, not oily at all. Leaves a very smooth felling. Every morning I woke up and my skin felt so smooth and nourished. I did notice my skin was really getting better and healthier day by day. It works for open pores as well. Cant really say anything about age line or dark circles as I don’t have any. Certainly doesn’t work on fading spots, scars or blemishes, so don’t hope for that.

 

Overall, I finished up both of them. Each Jar contains 50g of product, but you’ll need really small amount for each use. So that 50g lasts quite long. Like, in my case, day one last almost 4 months after using twice a day and night one last almost 5 months. Which was really cost effective 🙂 I totally hated the Jar packaging. It’s quite messy and unhygienic as well when you garbing product from the jar, specially when it’s about to end. I do recommend this product if you are over at least 22 and not having a super oily skin.

Surely, um gonna buy them again if I’m not into trying something new ;p

 

Out of the topic: I apologize if you were waiting for my post, as these days I’m being quite irregular in blogging….aaah!! lazy me!!

DIY Eyeshadow Palette / Organizer

2
 I took an attempt to organize all my single eye shadow in a single palette. They were taking a lot of space in my dressing drawer and it was quite hard to find them when I need. So, thought to arrange them in a single place. With a CD case and glue, I made my DIY Eyeshadow Palette. I’m hoping this post gonna help you as well.
 

DIY Eyeshadow Palette

So first I took the shadow pans out from their packaging. De-potting those weren’t hard. but I’ll suggest you not to do this with your expensive shadows. because you might break your shadows while processing.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

DIY Eyeshadow Palette

First I placed a paper on the base of the cd palette, used two sided scotch tape to attach that. Here I used a printed paper but you can also use any type of paper (later I used a black paper). The reason behind placing the paper is to hide the back of the pan so it looks nice from the back. Then I simply stick the pans on top of the paper using a hot glue gun. Easy-pesy, isn’t it? 🙂

DIY Eyeshadow Palette


Later on….. I wasn’t really happy they way it looks so decided to re-arrange it and do some decor 🙂 this is how it looks now (picture below)… I think it’s better than before….

DIY Eye Shadow Palette

So, what you think? At least all my single shadows are more organized now 🙂

I used CD case because it was available at home and didn’t cost me a penny to do the whole process. If you are ok with spending a few bucks then you can also buy some pre-made empty palette to store your single shadows.
