The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Range ( Product Information)



My sister got these two products from the TBS Shiso Japanese formula series. I am not reviewing these products cuz they belong to my sis, but I have used the serum a couple of times and liked it. As for the UV protection cream I have already told you that SPF> 15 irritates my skin. I’ll give this a try later  though.

From the site:
Shiso extract is combined with Vitamin C, liquorice and Community Trade organic aloe, a blend of ingredients providing the Moisture White™ range with the efficiency to address hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C is included as it provides antioxidant protection, helping to reduce melanin production. Liquorice extract from the root of the Glycyrrhiza Glabra plant is chosen by The Body Shop for the Moisture White™ collection as it helps address hyperpigmentation.


White Shiso Whitening Serum
Price: INR1995 for 30ml
Daily luminous hydration infused with shiso, vitamin C, liquorice and community trade aloe vera. Apply morning and evening before moisturizing.

Moisture White UV Protection Cream
Price : Between INR 2000 to 2500 for 30 ml ( don’t remember the exact price)
SPF 20 PA+++
Daily UVA/B protection. Softens Skin and helps prevent uneven skin pigmentation. With Vitamin C and liquorice extract.
For all skin types.
An easily absorbed, oil free cream that helps protect skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays and the formation of dark spots and discolouration. Use daily after whitening serum
You know how body shop is, they have launched tons of products in this range. Like cleansing powder, eye cream, foundation, treatment mask, cleansing oil. *sighs* Okay nevamind, as I was saying my sister liked these products a lot, but still I think they are crazy expensive. I think I’ll stick to fair and lovely when I am in need of fairness. ;)
It’s a great range, do give it a try if u want to.
So have you used any whitening products, what are ur favs?
(Only the first picture belongs to me, rest have beentaken from the site.)

Revlon extra gentle nail enamel remover (Quick Review)


Price: INR 125 for 30ml
What it claims: Specially formulated with calcium plus potassium, the major minerals found in strong nails. Gently removes enamel without acetone.
I am going to keep this quick, cuz u know, it’s a nail polish remover.  I think this is the cheapest nail polish remover without acetone. No complains with this one. It takes very little remover to work it, so the bottle is going to last for a long time. The only issue is that it takes a couple of more strokes to completely take off nail paint then it normally does, but I don’t mind it that much. It’s got calcium, potassium so that’s a little bonus for weak nails.
My Rating: 4.5/5
Paisa Vasool: Totally!
Would I re-purchase: Yes

Have you ever used this one? so...what nail paint remover is your fav?

(RIP) Revlon Colour Stay Mineral Foundation- Discontinued

The Revlon colourstay mineral foundation is no more. It had been my friend since December 2009. This was the first mineral foundation I had purchased. Its price was INR 1050. Guess there is no use of telling you how awesome it was. That it had SPF 10, it was great for oily skin, and gave medium –natural kinda coverage. Alas… no use of telling you all this, cuz it has been discontinued!! This is a tribute to you my friend. You are going to be remembered by women with oily skin all over the world.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.


Have you ever used this foundation. Whats your take on mineral foundations?
