Schwarzkopf OSIS Flatliner [Review ]

Price: 675 INR for 200 ml

What it claims:

Ultra flat control+ 200 C heat-proof ingredients + long lasting flat effect +humidity protection + smoothes & reduces frizz.

My View:

It’s basically a heat protector, which gives hold. I bought this cuz it mentioned long lasting flat effect and humidity protection. Now when I straighten my hair, it does not last that well because of all the humidity here in Mumbai. For me this product did not help that much for controlling my straightened hair or anything, but it’s a nice product. It does not weigh the hair at all. It’s packaging is travel friendly, the nozzle can be locked. I didn’t find it’s smell appealing but it is not that strong anyway. This would last for about 4-6 months, depending on how often you use it and the length of your hair. I believe it does add softness and shine to your hair.

So the only downside for me is that it did not give any hold to my straightened hair as it claims to. But many people swear that it makes their hair straightening last longer.

Mr rating: 4/5

Paisa Vasool: YES

Would I re purchase: ummm..... I think I will buy the Tony&Guy heat protectant spray again. Just like that. For it's review click HERE.

You are the only guy who can have long hair, beads, jewelry, eyeliner, and STILL be considered straight.

Sincerely, teach me.

Dear people,

Please help, I'm 20 years old and I can't get a better job than at a fast food place. I'm socially awkward, and my only co-worker hates me. I'd complain, but my boss only cares about money. I'd leave, but I can't pass my drivers test, or any test I've ever taken. I'm in love with one of my only friends; she's a smart, athletic, gorgeous southern belle, but, I'm stuck in the friend zone. My only other friend is this guy who i'm pretty sure only talks to me, because he's mentally handicapped. To top it all off, I live in a freaking pineapple. Sincerely,

Spongebob S Pants.

Have a rocking week ahead gurls!!

Bourjois healthy mix foundation- The misleading SA and Indepth Babbling

Do you get irritated when you go asking for a decent loose powder and the SA’s shove some mineral powder foundations in your face? Well after this happened to me for like 20 times, i did get super irritated.

Anyway I had told you girls some time ago that I had been looking for a new foundation for oily skin. I even needed a loose powder. I had finally made up my mind to by Revlon’s colourstay foundation in combination to oily skin and had almost bought it, when I noticed that the foundation looked separated. It looked like two different colours were inside the bottle. When I inquired about it, the SA persisted that the foundation is in good condition and showed me the rest of the bottles which also looked like this. hhmmmm… but I knew that if I bought it, I wouldn’t be completely satisfied. So I went towards other counters when the Bourjois counter caught my eye. Now I have heard a lot about this healthy mix range and how natural it is and all that, but had never considered to buy it. The first question I asked the SA was if this had SPF, she told me it has SPF15. I also inquired if bourjois had loose powder which is used to set foundation . I didn’t want to rattle my brains out on this topic again so I just told her to pack bourjois healthy glow foundation and its loose powder.

Now when I was paying for this, the SA informed me that I had got a free Bourjois kohl and contour pencil. They had an offer on the purchase of products above INR 1500. Of course I got super happy. You know how we girls are.

At home when I was checking out these goodies I noticed that there was no SPF in these products. GASP. The SA had misinformed me. Urrghhh. But when I checked out the reviews online I relaxed a little cuz this healthy mix foundation has got majorly good reviews.

In fact this has also been voted as the product of the year for 2011!!

I was pretty sure that the powder I had bought was loose powder as I had even checked it out on other blogs before.. Turns out I was wrong!!

So when I was puffing up with this powder(which I have to do a lot cuz of the oiliness), after a while I noticed that things started to get a little caked up. After some hard-core research I found out that it indeed in powder foundation. Uuuurrrgggghhh again! I am not saying that it is bad, its just that you cannot puff up with powder foundation. It would definitely cake up.

So instead of a foundation and a loose powder, I ended up buying two foundations.

I’ll write the reviews about these products after using them for at least a week or two. Overall I am happy, I think I have made good purchases even if by mistake.

So, have you tried this healthy foundation range yet?

Presently, what foundation are you using ?

In pursuit of the perfect sunscreen + Product Information

Exposure to sun is one of the major factors of skin ageing. Some researchers claim that up to 80 % skin aging is caused by harmful UV rays, and that is mind boggling. The dangers of harmful UV rays range from dark spots, freckles & wrinkles to even skin cancer. It is very important to protect our skin from the sun on day to day basis. Today I am going to tell you guys about some of the sunscreens available in the market, hoping to help you pick the right one for you.

Why do I have so many sunscreens you ask, well I am allergic to most of them. Two of them are almost finished and I had kept the bottles foe this post. :) . If you have often graced my blog with your presence, you must be knowing that I am allergic to SPF more than 15, still sometimes I become adventurous ad end up buying higher SPF sunscreens. I am going to give the sunscreens that do not suit me to my niece tomorrow. I wish I had a relative like me. J
