Miss Claire Mini Haul : A Glimpse

Hi Girls, At a local store yesterday, I wanted to grab a bottle of Maybelline Fit Me foundation but the SA lured me into buying some Miss Claire products. Miss Claire is quite a popular brand among bloggers since it brings out dupe for NYX products mostly. I have used some lip creams before, from Miss Claire, today got few more. The lip creams from Miss Claire are no doubt one of the best product from the brand. I was so amazed to see the wide range of the shades at the local store. Plus they are so affordable, I felt like grabbing whatever I my small eyes could see. I got 5 shades from Miss Claire Lip Cream Range – 02,13, 28, 39 & 41. Sadly the store did not have any testers, so I just picked up judging the packaging. I also got Miss Claire Born To Glow Illuminator, which comes in almost exact packaging as NYX Illuminator. I was also shocked to see that it was titled as ‘Born To Glow’ same as the NYX Born To Glow Illuminator. The illuminator also comes in many shades as the NYX illuminator. Miss Claire seems to be following NYX very closely, I guess. There were too many blushes, eye shadows, and what not at the store. I also got blue shimmer dust since blue glitter was not available. Only I know, how I pushed myself away from the blushes. I might be visiting that local store again soon. This Miss Claire Lip Balm is favourite of my sister. She was constantly looking for it around her place but was not available. Glad I found it. Though she uses the strawberry flavour, but efficacy would be the same, I am sure. I also got Lotus Ecostay Primer & Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 128. Will let you know how the primer fared on my skin since I will be using it for the very first time. Coming to skin care items, I got Himalaya Natural Glow Fairness Cream which is doing very well on my skin after horrible breakout from The Face Shop White Seed Moisture Cream. For the very first time I got Neutrogena Oil free moisturiser, which is a popular moisturiser among bloggers who have combination to oily skin tone. I have very thin eye brows, so I mostly use an eyebrow pencil to thicken them up. Cameleon eye brow pencil in brown, has a lash brush attached at the end, so eye brow can be groomed with just single product. It was under 100 bucks. Colorbar has same kind of product which is waterproof, but that costs about 650 bucks. Will try to put some swatches of the lip creams pretty soon. Hope you will like the shades I got. Want to check out my other haul posts? Lazy Saturday Ramblings Another Saturday Ramblings I really wonder why I wander on Saturdays 😀 Will let you know, as soon as I get to know. XOXO

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunblock SPF 50+ & PA+++ : Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 17:13:12 +0000

Guest Review by Sreeparna Ganguly I have photosensitive skin since childhood. Whenever my skin is exposed to the sunlight for more than five minutes my skin gets reddened and starts to sting like hell. Later the burning sensation subsides but the skin darkens. Sunscreens with SPF 30 or more with minimum PA++ are my necessity rather than a cosmetic cure. Over the years I have had trial and error sessions with many sunscreens in which I have found that majority of the creams that provide sun-protection are somehow or other comedogenic in nature. I had to reject many of them in the past just because they broke my facial skin out badly. My today’s review is about Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunblock which, in spite of being a non pore-clogging product, provides SPF 50+ with PA+++. I bought the 30ml trial pack to test it as a facial sunscreen. Let’s read on to know how it fared on me. Neutrogena’s Claims About The Sunblock Neutrogena Ultra sheer DRY-TOUCH SUNBLOCK SPF 50+ PA +++ is a breakthrough in sun protection. Stabilized with Helioplex, it provides superior balanced broad spectrum protection against skin-aging UVA and burning UVB rays, and combines it with Dry Touch Technology for an ultra-light, non shiny finish. This light weight sun block has a light fresh scent and is gentle enough even for sensitive skin. How To Use Apply liberally on face and body 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. For added protection, reapply after swimming, towel drying or extended sun exposure. Price Rs.199 for 30ml. Buy from Amazon.in at discounted price. Ingredients Not mentioned on the pack. Packaging This sunblock comes in a small matte plastic tube with a blue plastic screw cap. The tube is painted in light blue and white. The product comes out of this squeeze tube through a small hole in the opening of the tube. The front side of the pack bears the company logo product name and some of the claims. Majority of the useful information and claims are placed in the back of the pack. I did not experience any spillage or wastage of the product. It fits even in my small purses for which this sunscreen gets a big thumbs-up from my side. Colour, Texture & Smell This sunscreen is milky white in colour. The consistency is quite creamy that makes it an easy-to-spread product. After I blend it to my skin, it gives a powdery matte finish. This sunblock smells like fresh flowers. The smell lingers for a bit but it is not something that would cause headache. My Skin Type I have type 2 acne-prone skin and I tend to get cystic acne. My Views I apply this sunscreen twice a day; once in the morning immediately after washing my face with a cleanser and for the second time in midday. A pea size amount is enough to cover my face and neck. Within a minute it gets absorbed into the skin and the face becomes matte. If my face feels dry after that, I apply a little bit of face moisturizer on top of it. Though this cream is white coloured, it does not leave any white residue behind. To my extreme relief, it has been able to reduce my sun sensitivity to certain extent. I am quite happy as very few of my previous sun protection cream could do it. Though it is working fine as a matte finish sunscreen in this cold winter season, I have my doubts if it will provide the same kind of finish in the humid summer. I would have to set it with loose powder or reduce the quantity for each application. As the full ingredient list is missing, there is no way to verify if it is a comedogenic product or not. This product has not aggravated my existing acne. It did not cause any new break-outs too. Likes Provides broad spectrum sun protection with SPF 50+ and PA+++. Non-comedogenic. Did not get new breakouts. Does not aggravate existing acne. Mild flowery smell. Gives matte finish. Does not give white cast. Water & Sweat Proof. Dislikes Ingredient list is not mentioned. Not a good summer sunscreen for extremely oily skin. Summary: 4/5 I find this a good non-comedognic winter sunscreen for my oily-combination skin. It has SPF 50 and PA+++ that protects my skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun. Have you used this sunblock? What is your favourite facial sunscreen? Share in the comments below. XOXO
