Janet NATURAL FINISH Powder-N-Blush Review

Janet is a local brand of skincare and makeup products in Sri Lanka. If your a Sri Lankan you may know this brand because it is one old and famous brand here. If you are not a Sri Lankan then you probably won't even know the name. But still you can read this post if you are interested.

I've already done a review of Janet Strawberry Face wash. Reason I like to buy local products is they are not pricey. Lets get into the review.

Janet NATURAL FINISH Powder-N-Blush

Product claims 'A sheer fine face powder & blush-on smoothens & perfects for a lasting silky natural glow. enriched with milk, minerals & natural vitamins.'

  

This Powder-N-Blush is one of my first makeup products. I loved using it because I had oily skin problem earlier and this product is something my skin get along with. I don't have oily skin problem now though I repurchased it because it doesn't seem like I wear makeup on but it does brighten my skin-tone. I don't know if I mention on my earlier posts that I don't like heavy makeup on casual day out or for everyday makeup rather than a occasion.

This product just gives a finishing look for your makeup. You need to get several touch ups for a long makeup day. I loved wearing this with Janet Liquid Foundation but any foundation will work well with this. It does look good even without a foundation on but when I closely looked my face on a mirror I can see that powder settled in pores and it looked like my face dry out.

I've got No. 6- Deep Saffron which is pretty much goes well with medium and fairer skin tones. they instruct to apply all over face & neck using powder applicator that comes along with this. But I usually use a blush brush to apply it because its like too much of powder applied with applicator. It will soon fade off but I dont like that powder baby look on me. In case I applied with applicator I even use the blush brush to spread it evenly and dust off excess powder.

this is how it look when applied with its applicator.

PROS:

• Gives Natural look.
• Brighten up the skin-tone
• Smell really good.
• Very cheap in price. its just Rs.340 and mostly available anywhere in Sri Lanka.

CONS:

• Doesn't long last.
• Hate the applicator. It applied too much powder unevenly.
• Powder settled in my pores. 

Overall I do love wearing this with foundation that need a powder touch up. Its a not so good and not really bad powder. I would recommend it if you want a powder that really cheap in price or if you like a powder for everyday use or just for touch up.

LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL BLACK Review

I bought this LAKM E EYECONIC KAJAL after almost two years. I already reviewed H&M Solid Black Eyeliner and Golden rose dipliner which I being used. I usually don't buy any makeup or skincare products until I finished what I have already got. though I like to review every makeup products from all the brands I am afraid to buy them because I don't use makeup on daily basis. I don't know if I should mention this here. However I like to keep reviews on my used products so that I can look back on them and consider to buy them even after few years later.

you may hear a lot about LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL. But this is my version of review on this.

LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL BLACK

I've got LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL in Black. You also can find other colors on this range but black is my favorite and it goes well with every dress you wear. This KAJAL seems very promising as it claims 10 hours NO SMUDGE and WATERPROOF. I am not sure if this KAJAL completely works as it say. Because it Fades away when I rub or wash. This can be wash it off with soap and water but for safe side I use almond oil or olive oil as a makeup remover. some kajals and eyeliners cannot wipe away completely with almond or olive oil as they still leave some stain. But LAKME EYECONIC easily got removed completely. I dont know if this happens only with me because I've read many reviews telling how good this KAJAL is. Well, I have to say if comparing to the other kajals and eyeliners LAKME eyeconic doesn't smudge all over my eyes.  But it fades away.

What I like in LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL BLACK

• Doesn't smudge all over my eyes.
• Though its a kajal it look like an eyeliner pencil. which is very easy to use and I can control how dark and thick my eyeliner wanted to be.
• Achieve a smokey eye look easily.
  

What I dont like about LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL are

• Not completely Waterproof.
• Need to draw two three strokes. Otherwise it has a pale black stain.
• fades away soon. If I rub my eyes thoroughly with Kajal on my eyes it doesn't smudge but fades away.
  
  
  

  

  you can see one stroke is very pale. for dark black stain I drew several lines.

  
  
  
  

  

  After 45 minute I thoroughly rub it. one stroke line disappeared and other line almost fade away. if it take a little time to set in then 45 minute is more than enough. right?? and happily no smudge there.

  
  
  
  

  

  1st picture(left side) is after wash the lines with water and pat dry. you can see stains almost gone. second picture took after washing using soap.

  
  
  
  
• However only thing I am happy to buy this because it doesn't smudge like other kajals. I have to draw many times to get a darker look but I am happy that I can remove them all easily.
  
  If you are looking for a Smudge proof Kajal then this is for you. If you like darker stain with waterproof one then this is definitely not for you. comment below and tell me what is your favorite kajal or eyeliner.

Oriflame very my No Time for Shine powder

__"Shiny skin is a thing of the past. Mattifying formula absorbs oil and keeps skin looking fresh when you need it. Conceals imperfections without hiding your natural skin tone. Perfect alone or paired with Very Me Cover Up Concealer."__
This is what company claims about Very Me No Time for Shine powder. I was editing this review post for months and never got to finish this. Finally I managed to post this today. Sometimes I really wonder How those mummy bloggers doing all that stuffs. Hope I will learn that trick one day. LOL!!
OK, now I will tell you about this product.

Girls who doesn't like that much of make-up would love this.But we need to keep on mind that this is not a foundation or blush. Its a powder.just a compact powder. So we couldn't expect much from it. But this No Time for Shine powder is not like usual powder. It's brighten up your face and no one ever know you applied something. It look so natural. If you want a natural make-up look this work well. I brush my face a bit after applying with the sponge to blend it more evenly.

I bought this on a special offer price. actual price is LKR949. It's already expired withing eight months since I bought this. So beware expire date If you planning to buy something on special offer..If not it can be use around more than a year.

It has two shades in this range. I have Matte Latte. The other one is Matte Light.

Why I love this?
Its quite cheap when compared to other expensive products. travel friendly. Doesn't take lot of space in my bag. Can be use for both fair and brownish skin types. I can say it because me and my sister used this and it goes well with our different skin types. Sorry for unclear photographs. But I hope you can get an idea how this powder blended on my and my sister's skin.

Why I hate this?
Staying power is very low. You have to touch up every few hours. So it doesn't suit for a long makeup day. You can wear it whenever you doesn't need lot of makeup. Other thing is it's packaging. Lid easily can removed. Everytime I open lid got remove. I hate it. And it has paraben in it's ingredients list. Yes! I started to take a look at ingredients. Because I don't need to take a risk of cancer. No! Not anyway. Thank to those who spreading awareness of parabens.

Though I love this very me No Time for Shine powder I will not buy it again nor recommend it to anyone because it has paraben in it. Other than that it's a good product.

I have few other Oriflame products to review. Before that let me know your favourite Oriflame products in comments.

MAXFACTOR 2000 CALORIE DRAMATIC VOLUME MASCARA REVIEW

I wanted to review this Mascara since I bought it. Because It is one of those products I feel quite satisfied with. I picked this MAXFACTOR 2000 CALORIE DRAMATIC VOLUME MASCARA  at Ansar Gallery in City Centre, Doha. we should always feel comfortable with make up. Most of time I wear mascara I afraid to rub my eyes, specialy in front of people. you know how it look like if they smudge all over eyes. Scary!! Of course! And I hate that drowsy eyes after applying them (Wonder if anyone else feel that too). I couldn’t wait telling you about this. MAXFACTOR 2000 CALORIE DRAMATIC VOLUME MASCARA doesn’t  have those irritating issues. That’s why I love wearing it.

This comes with and without waterproof. And brown/black in colors too.

It claims that Volumising mascara is for up to 300% more Volume.and Smudgeproof.

Reasons I love it

·        Volumising and lengthens well.
·         Love the curl it gives to lashes.
·         Doesn’t smudge unless it is water.
·         Easy to take off by washing it with soap and water.
·         Brush is easy to handle.

Things I don’t Like

·         Dry pretty quick, should apply fast. if not can get clumpy.
·         Strong Mascara smell.

Should I recommend this

Yes, if you like to have volumised curl lashes. You should try this. reasonable in price, sensible to wear.

janet Strawberry Deep Cleansing Face Wash Review

Since I start blogging, I haven't done a review post yet..soo I thought to share my thoughts on a product which I love these days..not because all the bloggers are doing it, but just for a change.

anyway here is my first review post ever,, it is about janet strawberry deep cleansing fash wash. when I started to use my first face wash (not this one) I had an extremly oily face. eventhough that product help me to reduce the extra oilness, but after 2, 3 years using it I felt that product quality is not like as before.so I stop using it,and  went to another two more brands, but they let my face really dry.yet I have an oily face. so I stop using them too. and then 3 months before I picked up this one 'janet strawberry deep cleansing face wash' and it is really friendly to my face.

It says it is for normal-oily skin, and contain strawberry+aloe vera+sarsaparilla and vetrivel..

I love this tube for several reason,

1.I really love the color of this tube.

2.It smells so good. a refreshing smell. though I really cant say it is strawberry smell or what. because I am very poor in catching smells, But I can say its a natural's smell.

3. very soft foaming, mild and not much thick texture. but a little is more enough to whole face & neck. infact im using one tube nearly for a month.

4.I love the fresh cool feeling after wash it off. a really very cool feeling like menthol. I loved it.

5. it clear my face, removing make up and oilness, and not drying my skin. 

6. I felt it is a natural product.

7.it is a sri lankan product of janet ayurveda.

8.its having halal certificate of all ceylon jamiyyathul ulama. it means its free of animal fats and alcohol.

as I say before I really love the smell, for real it makes me to taste it. it taste like acid, as same as some creams taste. crazyness isn't? what else can say? but come on,  don't you ever taste such a smell product?

I move to another country so I'm not sure whether I can buy the same product again. a bit sad and curious to try a new one. so hopefully I can do another review post soon. because I find out it is much interesting.

soo its my review. let me know your views about this post..:D

P.S  :all the things I post about this product is in my opinion.make sure to buy products that suits your skin type.
