Organistick is a new brand of Organic Lipstick, with the goodness of jojoba oil and shea butter. I spotted a few of these at a local beauty and cosmetic store, and thought, why not give it a try? So, today I'm reviewing the Organistick Lipstick. Hope it helps you.

The shade that I have is Organistick Lip color 03, which is a dark shade of Red, somewhat Crimson. The Lipstick is absolutely smooth, and moisturizing as well. I've used it a few times, and it is quite long lasting and lasts for about 5-6 hours at least(or for me it did!).

The packaging is pretty attractive if you ask me. The lipstick is in a silver holder, and has a outer transparent covering as well at the bottom part. This part has floral patterns on it, and the cap of it(the top) is a transparent one, making it easy for the person using it, to check the shade. I personally feel this is pretty convenient when even checking the testers, as well as at home, when you're choosing a shade to apply.

The cost of this lipstick is INR 140. You can also order this online at flipkart or snapdeal. I personally think that it is pretty cheap and affordable, compared to all the famous brands whose cheapest lipstick is at INR 300 at least. You get quality and enough quantity for an affordable price.

Since it is a new brand, I see no advertisement of it whatsoever. But, I hope they take care of it soon, since I really like their lipstick, and I'm glad I found it at a local store.

At the end, I'd say there is no harm in giving it a try. I recommend it, and use it too. I hope this helps you decide.

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.

I love lip balms. And that is why I have like about 4 of them which I use regularly, and a few which I don't use anymore. I'm obsessed with buying lip balms, and that is why, I got Lakme Lip Love for myself. I wanted to buy it ever since I saw the advertisement for it when I was at Cafe Coffee Day having a small snack. So today's blog post is dedicated to Lakme's Lip Love.

Lakme Lip Love is a dual core lip balm, the inner core offering superior moisturisation to your lips. It is apparently, the first of it's kind in India, and I won't deny this, since this is the first time I saw something like this too. It contains SPf-15 that protects your lips from sun damage..

The flavor that I have is the Cherry one. There are 4 flavors available in Lakme Lip Love- Vanilla, Peach, Strawberry and Cherry. 

I'd like to say I absolutely love this lip balm. The dual core makes it look attractive, and it is effective as well. Cherry goes well with my lips, and enhances my casual look. At the same time, it also makes the chic party look look natural and not overdone. In simple words, it goes well with anything, and makes your look natural. 

I find the packaging pretty cute and attractive(but then again, I find all lip balms attractive so...). Mine is in a red, cherry colored, cylindrical lip balm container, with the wirds, Lip Love engraved on it in a cursive-ish font. 

The application, goes like any normal lip balm we use. Twist it, till the core is in your view, and swipe it across your lips smoothly, and apply as per your wish. 

The cost of Lakme Lip Love is INR 200, and I got it for INR 180, because I bought it from the Official Lakme dealers. I'm sure this will be available at all local stores soon. If you need this sooner, you can always find an official store.. 

That's it for Lakme Lip Love. I hope this review helped you. For me, I'd say everyone SHOULD try this !

This is probably my first review about a gloss. Gloss is my personal favorite(as I'd mentioned in one of my posts earlier) for various reasons(again given in one of my previous posts), so I'm pretty excited writing this review today. Hopefully, it helps you.

If you are the one who always wants to be the diva, who is the center of attraction, then this is what you are looking for! Revlon's Super Lustrous Lip Gloss, gives you the perfect glittery party look.

The shade that I have is called,'Wrap yourself in Rubies.' This is a shade of reddish pink, with shimmer in it(like all the glosses). This gloss goes very well with a chic party outfit, and I'd say I won't hesitate using it, if I'm heading for a party with my girls.

The Gloss as such, is very smooth, and easy to apply. It is one of those, with the small brush, with which you can apply it on your lips. It lasts for about 4 hours approximately. But the drawback here is, as it the time passes, and the gloss starts drying, even your lips start feeling dry and moisture less. Or maybe that happened only with me..

This Gloss costs you around INR 450 and I, personally find it a bit pricey, seeing that you'll be probably using it for only parties and special events. If you use Lip Gloss daily, then you should definitely try this out once though I'd rather buy a Matte Lipstick for daily use.

That's it for Revlon's Super Lustrous Lip Gloss. I hope this review helped you :)

Very recently I bought the new Lakme 9 to 5 lipstick. So, today's blog post is dedicated to it. I hope it'll help you.

This lipstick is matte, like the Lakme ones we usually see in local stores(I have never tried glossy ones in Lakme, I don't even know if they have glossy ones). The shade that I bought is MR2- Red Chaos, and it is really good! It looks perfect on me, not really bright, not really dull, just natural. It can be used with a casual outfit, to give a great natural and fitting look.

This lipstick is quite smooth, but I'd rather prefer a Revlon over it, because they are smoother and don't feel uneasy on your lips. Thought the look and shine of this one is amazing, and YES, Lakme 9 to 5 IS long-lasting as they claim it to be. Definitely better than the old traditional Lakme ones, you get. The packaging, the look, time it lasts for, everything is now better than the traditional one in here.

I had seen the advertisement for this on TV, and that is how I came to know about it. I think advertisements for the same were also in the newspaper
s and stuff. So why not give a try?

The packaging is quite trendy if you ask me. The lipstick holder is a peach colored cylindrical holder, with a metallic shine over it. You can also flaunt you newly bought lipstick now,can't you?

The traditional old normal Lakme lipstick costs you about INR 350, while the Lakme 9 to 5 costs you about INR 450 to INR 500. Yes, it is a bit costly, but I'd say it's worth it, seeing the perfect natural look you get(I'm saying natural look, because the shade I have gives a natural look. I'm sure every shade has it's own uniqueness)

That's it for Lakme 9 to 5. I hope this review helps you in deciding whether to get it or not.

So, winter has officially hit Mumbai! I feel the weather is really pleasant, except for the fact that no matter what, I have to get out of bed every morning. Who doesn't want to stay bundled up in their blanket on chilling winter mornings? But with this climate change, a lot of us get chapped lips. Chapped lips happen because our lips are really thin layered compared to the rest of our skin, and that is why it tends to dry easily in winter. But with today's DOs and DON'Ts list you'll manage having perfect lips even in Winter.

DO's-
1) Apply Petroleum Jelly- You get these in the local drug stores and sometimes, at genereal stores too, very easily. Vaseline, Imami Vasocare, etc. are some of the available brands. Petroleum Jelly or some sort of lip balm(not those flavored ones) can be used. These are very effective in helping heal dry and chapped lips.

2) Use Ghee- Yes, the Ghee we use for cooking at home, can be used to cure chappped lips. This is an effective home remedy, and used in quite a lot of households in the country. Just be sure not to lick it off!

DON'Ts-
1) Licking your lips- Licking of lips is strictly prohibited. It does make you feel relieved for a while, but it takes away the moisture that is left in your lips, drying them further. Licking of lips equals to extreme chapped lips. So, DO NOT lick your lips.

2) Use Gloss- Gloss may hide away your chapped lips from the world,but it does not have any effect in helping cure them. Even those, which claim to protect your lips and stuff, are redundant. All they do, is give your lips a shiny look and hide away the dry chapped lips. Never trust these to cure your dried lips.

So, I hope these DO's and DON'Ts help you out! :)
Have a Happy Winter and Wait for my next post. I may post something interesting ;)
Next post will be on Saturday. :P
