I have mentioned this countless of times and probably done dedicated posts for this as well but I wanted to reiterate this tip again today. So, for those of you who already know about it and have tried, apologies for saying the same things again and again.

Whenever you face a difficulty to spread any product on your skin, try applying it on damp skin. It works beautifully and gives an even finish with a dewy look. This worked especially great for the Ponds White Beauty Spot-less Cream which I had reviewed recently. I totally forgot to mention about it in the post so thought I would put up a separate one!!! Also, keep one thing in mind that do not apply any sunscreen on damp skin.

Dove Deep Pure Face Wash Product Review

August 11, 2012 Swati 12 Comments

Dove soaps are not my favorite but their face washes did catch my eye and the best part is that they do not have SLS. So, lets check out if I liked it or not 🙂

Price: Rs 70 for 50gms

Pros
very less quantity required
no SLS
doesn’t dry or stretch my skin

Cons
no improvement in blackheads
doesn’t really exfoliate as far as I could experience

I don’t know what to write in this review coz the face wash is nothing great and neither bad. Its formula is just similar to the Pond’s face washes.The product claims to have micro-puff technology which cleanses the pores well and exfoliates at the same time.

Honestly, I don’t think I really saw anything like that in my face. It doesn’t brighten or stretch my skin or make it dry and neither does the face wash claim anything like that. It is an inexpensive and SLS free face wash which can be given a try.

PS: I have had two sources with dry skin inform me that it is indeed drying for skin so dry girls, take care!! Mine’s combi.

VioletBag.com Website Review

October 12, 2011 Swati 4 Comments

Online shopping is gaining popularity steadily as they are bringing in the brands not easily available and products we don’t get to see anywhere. Whether online shopping is a fulfilling experience for a shopaholic can be a debated topic but it does provide many many advantages. And, one of the new websites on the block is violetbag.com. So, here goes my experience with the website.

Navigation

Pretty simple and easy to search products or brands coz of the huge search bar right at the top of the page. A very simple website and it is not heavy at all.

So many features so simply given on the main page itself is one of the good things of the site. And, to make it more simple, you can log in with your facebook account which makes the tedious process of creating an account very simple. I simply don’t like to create accounts whichever site I visit but I would definitely like it to remember my details. Yes, this one remembers your billing address.

Brands

Ok, this is one hitch with this relatively young website. The brands are not numerous and almost all are generally available at a beauty store so I would definitely love to see new and not so easily accessible brands on it. But, then, I think they are adding new brands on their website coz I am seeing new names today since I last checked on Friday.

I should also add that they have a huge source of perfumes so in case you are looking for perfume shopping, you should definitely try this website.

Order Delivery

Well, I have to say they are super quick. You think this post is late as compared. Well, that’s my fault. The order was super quick. I placed the order on Friday, they called to confirm it on Saturday (my fault again, my phone is acting weird!!!) and I got the delivery on Monday (I was expecting it on Wednesday). So, check out what I ordered and what shape they came in.

Ok, so all the products arrived safely and what’s more, I checked the manufacturing date of all. The Biotique an Loreal products were of the latest manufacturing date but Ponds manufacturing was in March, 2010 and it expires in March, 2012. Well, the product is not widely available so may be that’s the reason. I don’t have any issues with that, though!!!

My Recommendation
Oh yes!! You should definitely check this out.

PS: I was provided discount voucher from the website for the review.
