I have used Faces Canada products in the past and have always loved them but there were a few cult favourites that I always wanted to try and never got my hands on for some reason or the other. This time I made sure to do a little haul and get a look and feel of them.

Let's head on and check what's in my kitty:

If you're someone who likes light weight foundations and if you dig in for a dewy finish and glowy look, you are on the right page...Please read on!!

Faces Canada Ultime Pro Second Skin Foundation has a great packaging. It comes in a frosty glass bottle with a dropper dispenser. I like my tinted products coming in a dropper packaging for the amazing quantity control it gives. Also building up a product becomes easy in this.

It is by and large fragrance free, just a mild powdery scent that is not bothering at all.

It is a very runny foundation and when I say very, I mean VERY. But the good part is, this consistency makes it blendable.

It gives a sheer to medium coverage which actually looks very natural and beautiful. If you're looking for a full coverage foundation, then this is not THE one.

This shade Ivory is the first shade in this foundation and it's lighter on me. It would suit light skintones (not even light to medium)

All in all its a great foundation for people with dry skin and works really nicely in cooler weather days.

It comes in a very classy, black, frost glass bottle with product name in gold. It has a regular sponge applicator which is practical and mess free. The formula is creamy and it blends easily and gives a seamless finish. It is non drying and does not look streaky or patchy. It definitely has high coverage, it conceals dark circles and spot in perfections easily. The shade Sand Beige 01 has light peach undertones to it. I generally use a corrector before a concealer but with this concealer I skip the corrector for its undertones and coverage. 

It's a bomb concealer and I can already see myself re purchasing it.

It is comes in a beautiful gold tube which is see through to make the shade detection easy. The application gives a good control to shape and fill my lips. It is the kind of packaging that looks luxurious when you take it out for touch ups. 

As the name goes it is "comfy matte". The formula is so lightweight that it feels like nothing on the lips, literally nothing. It claims to have natural oils in it which makes it so non drying for a liquid lipstick. It is absolutely transfer proof and the staying power is no where less than 5 hours. 

The shade FIXED IT FOR YOU is a gorgeous mix of berry and plum. Something that goes with any coloured outfit. It is comes opaque in a single swipe. It will suit all skin tones alike whether fair, medium, or light.

This is not something I am trying for the first time. I've already tried and loved multiple shades from this range. They are one of the most long lasting nail paints in my stash. The shades I got are Snow 146 and Marigold 129. Snow as the name goes is a beautiful white with gorgeous shimmer while Marigold is a very sweet and summery coral shade. They apply non streaky give a fabulous finish and go on without chipping for a long time.

Faces Canada is a cruelty free, made in India brand.

Take care

Altho the shopping sites and offline stores are flooded with beauty and skin care products, it is still hard to find a brand that works on clean and green principles. The first thing I noticed about the brand Lotus Botanicals is that it's products are paraben free, silicone free, sulphate free, mineral oil free and cruelty free.

So much goodness....how could I not try their products!!!! So I got my hands on a few of their products. Let's see how my experience has been using these for a while now.

It comes in a lovely pump packaging. The best thing is that it even locks the pump for any unnecessary spilage. It has a mild fragrance of fresh flowers. The texture of the face wash is somewhere between a cream and a gel and that makes it perfect for all skin types. It made my dry skin so hydrated as if I have applied a light moisturizer after it. It takes of the makeup residue without much effort and makes the face squeaky clean. By all means it is my current favourite face wash.

It comes in a practical and eco friendly glass pump bottle. The face moisturizer has a smooth and creamy formula. It has a mild floral fragrance. It also has SBA 20 PA+++

It claims to be a light weight formula, boosts Radiance, repair and hydrates. It also claims to be good for all skin types but I think dry skin girls like me will need something extra in terms of hydration. The best discovery was that it surprisingly minimised my pores to some extent giving my skin smoother appearance. It is non comedogenic

It comes in a jar packaging. It smells beautifully of jasmine which is very calming. The texture of the youth Radiance cream is buttery smooth. It gets absorbed in the skin easily and moisturizes it. Once you apply it , you will feel the hydration sunk in to your skin. I like how luxurious it feels on skin and my skin totally loves it.

It comes in a see through pump packaging. It's consistency is really thick. Like really really thick. I had to take it in my palm and add some water to it to emulsify it and apply. It made the scalp and hair strands really clean. It did not dry out my hair. I really wish it was not so thick though. All in all its a good shampoo.

My experience so far with Lotus Botanicals has been good. They provide really good products without burning a hole in our pocket.

Makeup is all about hiding our flaws and accentuating our best features. 

In my case, I like to cover the darkness around my eyes and mouth and also a few spots and blemishes on my face. A concealer alone doesn't fully cover the darkness. If used alone, it leaves dark shadows and hinders the brightening up of under eyes. 

Here comes the work of correctors. Peach correctors work nicely in combating the darkness. The one in loving recently is the Bobbi Brown Corrector in Peach

It comes in a tub packaging. I personally prefer bullet ones to avoid digging in fingers everytime.

It is very creamy in texture. This makes it very nicely blendable. It hydrates the under eye area that generally gets dry easily. Foundation and concelar sit very smoothly over it.

The shade is peach and it beautifully covers the darkness. It has just the right amount of warmth in it. In case you have intense dark circles, this might not work for you. For very deep dark circles, you need orange corrector.

It's a beautiful corrector that is non drying and super blendable. But I find it too pricey for it's goodness. It retails for 3400/- for 1.4 gm of product which is quite expensive.

It is available on Nykaa, Myntra and Bobbi Brown's own website.

Hey Folks,

Hope you are doing well and keeping safe!

In the current covid situation when we are almost heading towards another lockdown one thing that keeps me happy is taking care of my skin. Some time ago I got a chance to try  Rose and Gold skincare products like their face wash and their serum with vitamin c and here is my review of it.
 

R&G Face Wash:

All skin care routines begin with first cleansing the skin. There are tons of products available in the market termed as a face wash and face cleansers and I have tried a bunch of them during my blogging journey. I have been very particular about my face cleansers given the fact that I have a really dry skin which becomes dry in this cool winter months. The sum always on the lookout for hydrating cleanser which to not dry out my skin further. My experience with Rose and Gold Facewash has been an amazing one. From the packaging to the product there is nothing I can complain about. The packaging looks classy and it's very practical. The formula is neither too thick not too runny. It has a very refreshing mild fragrance of roses. It does its job of cleansing the skin really well without leaving it dry. I would like to sum up my experience in the following points:

⚪ It comes in a beautiful rose gold packaging.

⚪ The tube is convenient to use and travel friendly

⚪Feels like an high end product on skin

⚪Smells of rose water

⚪Lathers up into a dreamy smooth foam

⚪Cleanses well

⚪ Is gentle on skin and doesn't dry out

⚪Gives a luxurious experience

⚪ Suitable for dry to normal skin

Serums are quite a rage in the skin care routine in today's age. There are a bunch of serums available in the market which cater to different skin care needs. Rose and Gold Serum with Vit C is clearly one of the best and most hydrating vitamin C serum that I have used so far. It's quite runny and thus penetrates easily into the skin. With regular use of it, I noticed the brightness and suppleness in my skin. It cleans to provide an even skin tone and reduce dark spots as well. I'm happy to incorporate R&G Vitamin-C Face Serum in my Skincare routine. I am explaining my experience with the vitamin C serum in the following points for your ease:
⚪ Comes in a glass bottle with dropper

⚪ It is quite runny in consistency

⚪One of the most hydrating serums I've used

⚪Faint rose fragrance

⚪Brightens skin

⚪Visibly healthier looking skin

⚪ Leaves the skin well moisturised

⚪I'm definitely gonna repurchase it

I had an amazing experience with rose and gold products. The products are hydrating brightening and gave a really the luxurious experience. Highly recommend them and will surely repurchase.

From the product packaging to the ingredient list, I quite liked all the three products. They are travel friendly and they don't have strong fragrance to them. The products are paraben and silicone free and do what they claim to.

Don't forget to visit their website or click on the links mentioned in this post to buy the products at amazing discounts.

One such search lead me to exclusivelane.com and there was no looking back...!!!

Their website is a visual treat. It's very user friendly and even the elderlies and people who aren't very techno savvy can easily browse through it. 

The collection of hand crafted products they offer is droolworthy. Have a look at all the categories they cater to:

I ordered this beautiful lamp from them and I'm so happy to see that they deliver what they promise. 

Already a fan of their packaging.. We can't ignore the importance of secured packaging when one's ordering delicate/brittle pieces. Exclusive lane was smart enough to pack the lamp and shade separately and nicely. They made sure it reached me in fine condition.

Shopping with exclusive lane was a pleasurable experience and I can't wait to add more beauty to my house from their classy collection.

The thing I like most about this hair oil is that it is non sticky and non greasy. Also it does not smell of onions which makes it a Win-Win product.

I love it's cooling effect and the way it nourishes my hair. I highly recommend this Hair Oil blend.
