Hi everyone! Today I’ll be reviewing the Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution SPF 50 Sunscreen which I’ve been using since last summer. This has become one of my favorite sunscreens over time, not only for its stellar UV protection, but for its luminous, glow-imparting formula as well. This comes in 3 variants – Translucent, Rosy Glow and Fairness.
About the fragrance : Delicate and feminine, the new Fleur de Parfum unveils the sensual intimacy of the rose – the signature of the Maison’s fragrance line. A modern twist on a classic, the tenderness of the rose has been artfully combined with slightly tangy inflexions that recall the scent of raspberry. The heart of verbena flower adds a fresh and luminous verdant dimension that sublimates the luxurious rose heart, while retaining an absolute delicacy. The heart of cherry blossom diffuses milky almond notes.
Hi everyone! Nykaa has just launched the Matteilicious Lip Crayons – matte lip crayons with a comfortable, long wear formula. They come with their own sharpener and these are priced at Rs 650. The creamy formula has a true matte finish that is somewhat forgiving on the lips but I would still recommend buffing and moisturizing your lips before application. The staying power is excellent and even the lighter colors stay for a good 4-5 hours. There are currently 4 shades in the range, I’ve swatched them below.
What do you think? Any of these shades catch your eye?
About the perfume : An intoxicating blend of cassis and black currant extracts at the top will tantalize your senses. The fragrance then moves to an accord of May rose, neroli absolute, davana and osmanthus. Patchouli, vanilla, ambroxan and a blend of woody notes are the finishing touch in the base.
I’m a big fan of Bobbi Brown, the brand and the lady herself. Beach is the only perfume in the brand portfolio, inspired by Bobbi’s favorite place (the beach, of course!), I knew it had to special. Before I tell you what this actually smells like, let me tell you what it doesn’t smell like. This isn’t a typical summer/beach/tropical scent. It doesn’t smell aquatic or ozonic or fruity like other scents in this genre. The notes are very few and very simple but the combination is lovely! When I first smelled it, I thought was very earthy, fresh and clean, and very unexpected in the way that its not very perfume-y, it that makes sense! The notes listed on the website are sand jasmine, sea spray, and mandarin and while its hard to pin point the exact notes when you sniff it, it definitely has that saltiness that reminds one of the ocean.
