SUMMER IS HERE! Okay, that was too cliché. It's hot and humid 365 days a year in Mumbai. But the sun is literally sending flames to us right now in May. So I decided to make a blog post dedicated to Essentials required this Summer. So here we go. I'm going to segregate them so that it is easy for you all to read and figure it out.

Skin- 
1) Lakme CC Cream- I recently got Lakme's CC(Clear Complexion) Cream, and I'm absolutely loving it. It is very smooth, and blends with your skin tone easily. You get fair glowing skin easily with this and it lasts pretty long..(at least for a few hours).
Cost- INR 250

2)Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cleanser-  This cleanser is very effective, if you are exposed to sun, dust,etc. for a long time daily. You can use this cleanser once or twice a day, as per your convenience(morning and evening maybe?). It makes your skin glow a bit, and I feel it also clears up any dust, or any rough particles settled on your skin.
Cost- INR 200

Do not forget any type of Sunscreen lotion if you are going to be exposed to the sun for long hours. 

Eyes- 
1) Maybelline Colossal Eyeliner- I had recently written a review of this on this blog itself. Maybelline Colossal Eyeliner is easy to apply and long-lasting as well. It defines your eyes, with just one swipe of the eyeliner. I think, it's a must-try for anyone who can't walk out of the house without eyeliner on.
Cost- INR 425

Lips- 
1) Maybelline Colour Bloom- Maybelline Colour Bloom is one of Maybelline's lesser known lip balm(probably because Baby Lips has always been promoted much). But Colour Bloom is very effective and also adds a natural shimmer to your lips. It's very long-lasting as well, and stays for about 4 hours at least.
Cost- INR 135

2) Himalayan Lip Balm- This one is specially for people who get chapped lips even in Summer(like me). Himalayan Lip Balm helps in healing them fast. It also adds a little shimmer to your lips, so you can use it in your daily routine as well.
Cost- INR 28 

Body- 
1) Any moisturizer- Personally, I do not use anything on my hands or legs, but if you have to use something, any moisturizer works. Make sure they have SPF 20 protection, so it will give you protect your skin from the strong sun rays. The only moisturizer I've used is by Nivea.


So these are my essentials for the summer. Hope that helped you :)

Apart from Nail polishes, my next obsession is with all lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms. So of course, I'd to order this one, when I saw this pop in my flipkart tab. Today's review is about L'oreal Paris Glam Shine Lip Crayon, and I hope it helps you decide whether you want to buy it or not.

This lip crayon, looks very attractive, and appealing. It's shaped like a crayon, and has a shiny silver cap. The end of this cylindrical crayon(that tapers off into a conical shape, like a normal crayon) can be turned to bring out more of the glossy balm into view.

The crayon is glossy and like a balm at the same time. It's easy to apply BUT not long-lasting.. It may go well for around 2 hours and if you're lucky more than that. But for me, it didn't last that long. The effect it gives is pretty average, nothing pretty great about it. It does give a shiny effect, but I think lip glosses can do better at it.

It costs about INR 350, which is a bit costly seeing that it doesn't deliver good enough quality. You can get a good lip gloss, at a bit higher price, but worth it. L'oreal failed to impress me this time, so not going to recommend this.

I'd not seen advertisements for this anywhere. I found this while shopping on Flipkart. L'oreal Paris' Glam Shine Lip Crayon is available in about 8 different variants(I have Lychee Lust). But as I said, I don't feel it's worth it, but if you still want to go ahead, and buy it, you can get it on Flipkart and Amazon or in any L'oreal store.

That's it for L'oreal Paris Glam Shine Lip Crayon. I hope this review helps you decide whether you want to get this one or not.
I'm really sorry, I haven't been regular. I've coaching classes for almost 8 hours daily, so it has become super hectic for me, and damn tough to manage everything. I'll be trying to post as much as I can though. :( 
Also massive thanks to all of you, because now my blog has got 500 views!! More than 500 as I checked today!! :D 
Also, I don't mind getting some constructive feedback, so do drop in a comment. If you want me to try out some product, do not hesitate commenting, and I'll definitely check it out. 
Ily all. Bye. Take care. :*
