Avon Inky Blue Matte Nail Polish : Review & NOTD

Hi Girls,

Hope you have been good... I've missed blogging a lot. So I'm back today with a review of a  matte nail polish from Avon in the shade Inky Blue. The post is going to be short. I don't want to bore you with unnecessary details. Read on! 

Price & Quantity: Rs.135 for 8 ml

But you can easily get it on discount as Avon keeps having amazing offers...

My views:

So today in reviewing this unique shade which is a rich ink blue with slight shimmer to it. You can clearly notice in it bottle but it doesn't show up on the nails. I don't really mind that. If you see the pics clearly it looks more purple-ish in the bottle but on the nails it looks like a deep ink blue shade. 

The polish applies slightly streaky if not applied properly. I had a tough time the first time around! The best part about this nail paint is the fact that it dries and settles into a matte finish in a couple of seconds... I'm pretty impressed with that.

One swipe is all you need to get an opaque coat of the shade on your nails. It stayed on my nails for 3 days the first time without chipping and 4 days the second time. That's not so bad given the price tag.

Pros:

1. Unique Ink Blue Shade
2. Dries into a matte finish in a couple of seconds
3. Opaque color  in just one swipe 
4. Stays on for 3 - 4 days without any chipping

Cons:

1. Its a little streaky. I had a lot of issues when i was applying it for the first time.

Overall Verdict: Its a pretty unique shade which settles into a matte finish in a couple of seconds. Lasts for 3- 4 days without any chipping with an even amazing price tag. I think you should definitely try out this range.

I know lately i have been posting a lot of nail paint reviews... so i have finally decided that i will post nail paint reviews on Fridays... will come up with some name for that as well! Hope you liked this review... Do leave your comments below!

Avon Naturals Rose Petal Whitening Mask Review

Hi Girls,

I’m super excited about this post! It my first review on my blog… I love the feeling of calling it “My Blog”. The product up for review is the Avon Naturals Rose Petal Whitening Face Mask. I've been using it for a while now… so I thought it’s time to review something that I've used for quite some time now.

Avon Claims: Avon Naturals Rose Petal Whitening Mask helps to remove yellowish and sallow skin tone and improve skin clarity and radiance. It is formulated with rose petals and rose hips. Rose hips are known to contain Vitamin C that has skin whitening properties. Mild and gentle benefits in the mask improves skin clarity, improves skin texture, helps in skin whitening, leaves an even toned skin and improve skin radiance.

Ingredients: 
Check the picture. It contains a hell lot of chemicals that kinda turns me off from this product!

Price & Quantity:
Rs.299 for 75 grams

My Take on the product:

The mask comes in a lovely transparent tub packaging. The mask is gel based mask which in red in color with dried rose petals in it. The mask has a fruity smell but it definitely doesn’t smell of roses. The scent isn’t too strong so it doesn't really bother me.

The texture and consistency of the product is good. It is really smooth and easy to apply. The best part about this mask is that it doesn't dry up like other masks on your face. I find that very annoying in other face masks.
After removing the mask, my skin feels hydrated. It definitely brightens the face and gives it a glow. The glow is temporary, but you can definitely use this mask before an event or function.

Pros:
1. Hydrating & moisturizing
2. Fragrance is fruity but not to strong
3. Gives an instant glow to the face
4. Brightens the face

Cons:
1. The glow is temporary
2. I don’t think it whitens the skin really… at least it isn't noticeable to me
3. It has a hell lot of chemicals in it :(
4. Its available only through Avon representatives, this may be a con for some!

Do I Recommend? You can use this mask by Avon as a quick solution to make you skin feel hydrated and radiant. Best time to use it would be before an event or function!

Will I repurchase it? No. I don’t think ill repurchase it for the simple reason I haven’t seen any effects on my tanned skin except that it makes me look a little hydrated and gives a temporary glow to it. Another reason for not purchasing it is that it contains a lot of chemicals and currently there are so many organic products available in the market. I’d like to give something else a try!

XOXO
