Nivea Lip Butter In Raspberry Rose Review .

November 08, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

I have tried a lot of lip balms that have butter in them but a lip balm exclusively made and feels like butter from Nivea was a must try and I bought this one 4 months back and ever since I have been using it daily and here’s the review!

I bought this online on flipkart along with caramel which I’ll be reviewing later. This is my favorite flavour among the lip butters as it leaves a light pink tint on lips!

This cutie comes in a tin packaging and consists of shea butter and almond oil which are great for moisturizing lips. The best part of this lip butter is their smell, so sweet! Raspberry rose smells a lot like light rose along with tinges of raspberry, not artificial at all. I am sure many of them will lobe this for its smell!

These are easily portable and travel friendly. Packaged in small round tin tubs they are easy to open and close. Very helpful during winters when lips are chapped the most. The texture is thick but light when applied on the lips.

Price: INR 189 for 16.7 g

Availability : Easily available at local drug and beauty stores and online shopping portals.

Packaging: Come in cute flat tin tubs, the first of lip balms in tin tubs I spotted in India! Travel friendly too.

Pros:

1.Decent protecting of lips during winters

2. Moisturizes chapped lips

3. Travel friendly packaging

4.Reasonable pricing.

5. Sweet smell

6. Comes in different flavours

7.Easily available

BlingSparkle.com rating : 4/5

It’s a lip balm I recommend everyone who loves sweet lip balms that actually protect lips from chapping!

Kaya Skin Clinic: Insta-Brightening mask, Daily Use Sunscreen & Face Cleanser Review!

October 21, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

Our face needs a little pampering every now and then. What better way to indulge in some Kaya Skin Clinic products ! Every now and then I like to pamper my skin and Kaya Skin Clinic Products are among favorites when it comes to giving my skin a little extra care. I have spotted several outlets of Kaya Skin Clinic in Bangalore but never got the chance to pay a visit to any of them.

Today I’ll be sharing my experience after using Kaya Skin Clinic Insta Brightening Micro-Mask , Kaya Skin Clinic Daily Use Sunscreen and Kaya Skin Clinic face Cleanser With Brightening Beads.

Kaya Skin Clinic Daily Care Sunscreen Review:

Price: INR 680 for 50ml

Application: I apply it half an hour before going out in the sun and I reapply it after every face wash..

Packaging: It comes in a unique yet tricky bottle which seems like a bottle within a bottle . The outer bottle is a transparent one while inner one is an opaque one which gives an illusion of a bigger bottle!

My experience :The package says that the formula has been researched and developed by dermatologists. And I would like to go by it as this sunscreen did not break my skin even though my skin type is oily. The sunscreen gives my face a matte finish and slides smoothly on my skin. It is a good moisturizer but I hardly use sunscreens and this is going to stay with me for a while.

Kaya Brightening Micro Mask Review :

Price: INR 2980 for 30ml

Packaging: This comes in an opaque plastic bottle with a pump on the top which disperses the gel

My experience : It’s a kind of a face pack which I use before important occasions like parties and wedding attending's. Its colorless and light and spreads easily on the face. The only thing about is the smell! I hate it ! I leave it for 20 minutes and wash it off with tap water and the effect lasts for about 3-4 hours max. After applying it the skin on my face felt stretchy and thick. I found my face to be soft and supple once I washed off the mask! Best to remove dullness and other impurities from my face and neck!

Kaya Skin Clinic Fairness Face Cleanser Review:

Price : INR350 for 100ml

Packaging : Comes in tube and reminds me of ponds facewash packaging! This doesn’t come with a dispenser but works out like other facewashes. It is easy to remove & hygienic to carry everyday in my bag.

Application: Dispense one pump on your finger tips and slowly cover your face with rubbing it in circular motions. Gently wash it off with water later.

My experience : Unlike other products from Kaya this one is priced reasonably while others cost me a fortune . I used this as a facewash and I like that it is mildly scented but it did not seem effective to remove blackheads and acne. I found my face fresh and soft after using this. It did unclog my pores and removed dirt from my face leaving my face soft and supple.

BlingSparkle’s final verdict:

These were my first products I used from the brand kaya Skin Clinic and found that they manufacture quality products but I have my complaints. They are too pricey even for something that is dermatologically tested! I loved the fairness cleanser and the micro mask and I recommend it to those who are looking for a good face pack during the wedding preparations.

Until next time

Love

Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut Hair Oil Review

September 29, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

It's that part of the year when your hair needs the MOST care, especially is you are living in an urban suburb where your hair are exposed to a lot of harmful chemicals and to add on that the present climate!

In this and this post we introduced you all to what we Bling Sparklers have got recently besotted to. Oil is no doubt the best way to nurture your hair and keep them, rejuvenated, voluminous, shining and happy!

In the present market, there are unlimited choices when it comes to hair care oils and it's important that we understand what our hair actually need and make the right choice. This post is thorough introduction and review of the amazing Dabur Vatika Enriched Coconut hair oil we have already discussed in our previous posts.

Packaging:
First things first! The packaging is what a persons's eyes fall on first and that is what play a very vital role. Seriously, you don't want oil dripping out of the bottle and stumbling all over the place once you have bought the product. Oil's something which can get real slimy and creepy when not packaged properly. So the first priority is packaging.

It has to be spill proof and sturdy and a little attractive would do no harm too!

The Dabur Vatika Coconut ++ hair oil comes in a sturdy bottle with a 'screw in' cap which fulfills all the above needs. It also has a firm plastic seal right on top to ensure extra protection. The look of the bottle is quite cute with green shades and coconut picture.

Pricing: 45 for 150ml
This is one of the best things of this product. Keeping in mind how effective it is, the pricing is a total seal deal!

Scent:
It smells great. The scent is not too overpowering but certainly mesmerizing. It smells of fresh coconut and a slight hint of almond. I love the smell!

Texture:
The texture is runny and liquid in all seasons. Unlike other coconut products where the texture gets solid during winter and liquid in Summer. This is truly a blessing as you don't have to pressurize the bottle during winters to get the oil out. Just keep it in a warm and dry place, not in a refrigerator. Lol.

WOW Ingredients:
It has Henna, which along with other herbs coats your hair & protects it from oxidation. It also has Amla which strengthens the roots of hair to help maintain their health and natural thickness and lemon which has an astringent action that controls the flow of sebum.

My Experience:
I am blessed with silky soft hair which are quite unpredictable and moody, just like me. I never want to cut them short and I hate it when split ends force me to go against my will. :( One of my friends suggested me this and I thought why not give it a try as I have heard a lot of good reviews about it and the pricing doesn't burn a hole in my wallet. So I gave it a go and I am glad I did so! I have used it for over a month now and I must say I am quite impressed. This amazing oil has managed to win my heart in a short time span. It's showing results which majority of the products I have tried till date couldn't.

To put it in short:

PROS:

The Dabur Vatika Coconut ++ hair oil prevents hair damage. It's regular application will make sure your hair grow strong and immune to pollutants and other damaging things.
It reduces Hairfall. When I was not using it, a huge bunch of my hair would fall on every stroke of comb. You can imagine how traumatic that is! Thanks to this amazing oil, hairfall has disappeared and my hair are back to their healthy state.
It keeps split ends at bay. Split ends force you to chop off your long and lush tresses. It really kills to take a hair cut just because your hair have got split ends! What I noticed was when I used this oil regularly, there was no trace of protruding split ends.
It keeps frizz at bay. Hair frizzing is another annoying thing which can cause skin irritation. The best way to fix it is nourishing your hair with oil and this hair oil by Vatika plays the best role here!
It is is enriched with Coco ++ which prevents hair breakage and nourishes hair making the strong. It's also famed to prevent hair greying.

CONS:

None!

It nourishes my hair within few minutes of the application and also helps me get rid of any head aches. Sitting in front of my laptop screen gives me stress and this oil helps me fight it like my warrior.

My hair fall has reduced considerably too! The texture of my hair has improved, not to mention the frizziness is gone. I simply love this product as it's the best you can get fro this price and actually it's quite better than its higher priced competitors!

Usage:
Apply regularly on scalp and hair.
For best results, massage and leave it on overnight.

Verdict:

I totally recommend it to all my wonderful readers! Go there and grab yourself one asap. Thank me later! ;)

Dove Hair Therapy- Daily Shine Shampoo Review

September 10, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

I have thin hair and face a lot of hairfall problems hence I am very selective when it comes to choosing the right shampoo for my hair. I was previously using Tresemme Shampoo but I wanted to give Dove hair therapy after watching a lot of their adds on Youtube.

The switching part is definitely the scary part where I imagine a billion things going wrong on shifting from one shampoo to other. But I am thankful that Dove daily shine hasn’t harmed my hair in anyway and has showed good results in the past few weeks of me using it.

Direction for Use:- Apply to wet hair, lather, rinse and repeat. For best results, use daily with Dove conditioner.

Ingredients:

My experiences with Dove Daily Shine Shampoo

This shampoo turned out to be a nice one to wash off dirt and dust off my hair on a regular basis. I can say eversince I started using this shampoo I can see my hair actually shine ! yes ! And I ended up recommending it to my friends!

Fragrance: I love shampoos that leave a fragrance that would last for a few hours even after its rinsed off and dove daily shine is one such shampoo. It smells good!

Price: INR 420 for 650 ml. ( I bought it for a lower price of INR 378 on amazon.in ;))

Availability: Available at all online stores and local stores nearby my home.

Shelf Life: 36 months !

Packaging : I like it that it doesn’t have a flip cap as I hate it that I have to open up such a huge bottle everytime I want to shampoo my hair!

Pros:

1. Good for everyday use.

2. Nice fragrance

3. Awesome packaging

4. Priced reasonably

5. Easily available

6.Softer and shinier hair

7.No damage done to hair

8. No hairfall after using it

Cons:

1. Need a lot of the product to rinse off hair oil from hair. I had to use a lot more shampoo than I do to rinse off dirt and oil from my hair. Other than this I couldn’t find any con!

BlingSparkle.com rating: 3.9/5

Recommendations: If you want a good to-go shampoo at your service everyday I suggest you buy this one and say hello to beautiful and shiny hair!

Until Next Time

Love

Oriflame Nature’s Secret Shower Gel Review

July 27, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

Oriflame is one brand I love and I can hardly resist their bath range products. Recently I wanted to pamper my skin and I bought this sweet looking oriflame shower gel. And eversince I used it I have been in love with it. I am not much into shower gels , I usually use handmade soap bars from soulflower or fuchsia for bathing but after using a few shower gels from renowned brands I came to like these gels for shower. Today I’ll be reviewing Oriflame’s Nature secret Shower Gel.

The gel comes in a nice sturdy packaging and has this sweet fragrance. Its main ingredients include Ginseng and passion fruit, both of which I have never seen but only heard about them. It lathers well and leaves my skin soft and fragrant. I do wish its availability was a lot more easier as I had a hard time finding another one after this was emptied.

Consistency: Thickness is medium in consistency.

Price: 350 INR for 250ml

Availability : Available on online shopping portals like Ebay and Amazon India.

Ingredients:

Packaging: I like it that’s a see through bottle so I can keep a tab on the remaining amount of gel every time I take a bath. Plus the yellow cap at the top is sturdy and is good to keep the from gel leaking. the bottle is travel friendly and I am sure the bottle wouldn’t break if it slips out of my hand.

Pros:

1. Moisturizes skin

2. Leaves a fruity fragrance on your body.

3. Gives a smooth feeling

4. Tropical scent

5.Ginseng's anti-oxidant and stimulating properties help faster healthy - looking skin.

6. Good packaging

7. Travel friendly

8. Creamy foam

Cons:

1. Not available in drug stores.

BlingSparkle.com’s Rating: 4.5/5

Have you used shower gels? If not its time to pamper your skin

Until next time

Beauty beauty Review

Bleach on your own: Oxylife Bleach Review

June 23, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

It's almost July already, time isn’t flying but rocket speeding! I hardly attend wedding during this month because of Ramazan but hey one cannot miss a wedding where the bride is your best friend! My bestie who got engaged 9 months back was getting married and all preparations were in full swing. The bride , ie Dhanalakshmi (My BF) was going bonkers on getting rid of facial hair and every small black patches. And mind you, she was the most gorgeous bride I have put my eyes on in a very long long time. She looked radiant and beautiful! Later on when I asked her how many hours she had spent in the parlour to get rid of all that uneven skin toning and facial hair she surprised me with something affordable and best of best , something which I could do on my own. (I hate going to the parlour, hence I make sure I do almost everything on my own) It is she who recommended this product to me. She has sensitive skin and she was all praise about the new Oxylife bleach crème. So there was this video on YouTube which I watched and then decided to give this crème a try.

Bleaching is one thing I believe should be done on your own. Well it's because I had a very bad experience while getting it done in a reputed salon. I don’t have sensitive skin yet I have felt burning sensation when I used a few bleaching products in the past.

Product Features :
OxyLife bleach is the healthiest bleach making the rounds everywhere. It comes with a unique formula which forms a protective shield for almost all types of skin, giving a safe and easy bleaching experience. OxyLife Bleaching crème within a short period of time has become a highly recommended brand by leading beauty professionals and parlours.

OxyLife bleach makes sure the correct amount of active oxygen required for the face is circulated and makes dull, dark and lifeless face bright and glowing instantly! Its special oxygen technology infuses new life into dull and uneven skin, making sure the effect lasts for a longer period. OxyLife crème bleach comes with a unique formula that forms a protective shield for even the most sensitive skin and gives you a safe and healthy bleaching experience at your home and the best part you can do it on your own!

OxyLife bleach comes with a whole kit- white creme bleach, an activator powder and post bleach skin radiance serum. The Oxylife Bleach is ammonia free, which is great! It was time to #SayYesToOxygen

Brand Application Steps (Read more here) :
Step 1 - Wash face with plain water and pat dry.
Step 2 - Take crème bleach and powder activator in the ratio of 7:1.
Step 3 - Using the spatula, mix the activator and crème for a good 2 minutes till the powder activator dissolves completely.
Step 4 - Apply the mixture on the area to be bleached. Avoid application on eyebrows and around the eyes.
Step 5 - Allow it to remain for the recommended time (up to 10 minutes for darker skin tones, up to 15 minutes for wheatish skin tones and 15 minutes or more for fairer skin tones)
Step 6 - Wash off with cold water.
Step 7 - Apply the post-bleach skin radiance serum on the bleached area and see a visible radiance!

Procedure to Use:
- Firstly I make sure my skin is clean (Wash and pat dry) after which I secure all of my hair in a bun to avoid bleaching my hair.
- Then I take a small amount of bleach creme and pat it slowly on my neck and face area beginning with the upper lip.
- After a gap of 3-4 mins I apply the mixture of creme and a little amount of activator
- I generously apply the creme on my face and neck and leave it for 15 mins after which I wash it off with cold water. I don’t use a face wash after bleaching.
- Once I have removed the product, I applied the Glow serum on my face and neck giving it an instant glow! I also noticed that the serum made my skin more supple. That’s it , you’re done bleaching! Simple isn't it ?

My skin is now at its best! The glowing effect managed to stay put for a week! The cream and the Glow serum worked wonders for me and by bringing a glow to my skin first followed by skin lightening.

Availability: Easily available in drug stores and on online shopping portals in India !

Shelf Life: 30 Months

Price: INR 80 for 27 gms

Pros of OxyLife bleach Crème :
1. Reasonably Priced
2. Suitable for all skin types
3. Easy availability
4. No irritation whatsoever
5.Gives an instant glow
6. Comes with an applicator
7. Mild
8. Easy application
9. Inclusion of glow serum is a thumb's up!
10. Ammonia-free

Cons of OxyLife crème Bleach:
None. :D

Final Views:
The Oxylife Crème Bleach for Women is a revolutionary bleaching product that is filled with the goodness of oxygen, good for even sensitive skin, hence every woman can #SayYesToOxygen !
I am highly indebted to my friend for having recommended this lovely product to me :D When I tried it out, I realized that not only did it work beautifully on my skin, but also brought about a healthy glow, without traumatizing my skin in any way. Have you tried bleaching at home? If not this is your golden chance to give it try.

Until Next time,
Love

anti ageing Beauty

Fuschia Arabian Jasmine Anti-ageing Night Cream Review and Swatch

May 03, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

I read a lot of beauty blogs and i have deep respect for bloggers who religiously put up empties post regularly. I can never do it because i seem to take ages (more like forever) to finish products or they just get expired and unfit for use . But miracle happened when i with the Loreal night cream (Review here) . I purchased this cream on a discount and this was expiring in 3 months so i decided to use only this religiously every night and try to finish it before expiry. The result well i finished this cream in 2 months flat!

I had purchased the Loreal Night cream as an anti aging care and after this cream finished i decided to finally start with anti ageing regime and the Fuschia Arabian Jasmine Anti-ageing Night Cream landed at my door step at an apt time. Now this Fuschia cream has replaced the loreal night cream and i have been using this cream for more than a month now and here i present to you my experience with it.

You cant avoid ageing but you can definitely delay it . Iam 25 and most skin experts say 25 is the right time to start anti anti ageing regime and i have decided to start early and this is my first anti ageing cream.

Price: 675 for 50 gms
Shelf life: 30 months
Ingredients : Jasmine Oil, Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Kokum Butter, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Biostine HP.

Packaged beautifully in a transparent tub with a screw cap the Fuschia Arabian Jasmine Anti-ageing Night Cream comes with 3 cute paper cards which has details like ingredients, how to use and directions to use printed on it. all the printed cards and tub is put in a cute chiffon bag which makes for a great gift . The packaging is different and adds to the natural organic feel but the instructions could easily be lost this way . i wish the instruction labels were punched and attched to the neck og the bottle so we wouldn't loose it that soon.
The the anti ageing cream is whitish cream in colour with thick consistency and tiny granules. Ithas subtle jasmine fragrance which lingers on for a while and has a calming effect at night . The cream though thick gets easily absorbed into skin with light massaging and leaves my face soft and supple without even a hint of greasy or stickiness.
The results are pretty instant and just after about 2 weeks of use my skin feels bright and tighter . every morning i wake up to soft and hydrated glowing skin and even my pigmentation has improved. About the anti ageing thing i cant really comment much because i dont have any signs of ageing to start with. But overall this is a nice night cream which people of all ages can try.

The cream of course is a pricey affair at 675 INR but its is natural and paraben free so I don't mind paying extra also for the results it provides the price is totally worth it. Also, I need just a little bit of cream to cover my entire face and after a months use half the tub still remains. So a tub will easily last you 2 months.
I do wish this came in a more hygienic packaging like a tube or a bottle with nozzle.

The Goods:

Subtle jasmine fragrance which lingers for a while
Makes skin soft , supple and hydrates
100% Natural, SLS and Paraben free
Thick creamy texture which isnt greasy or sticky
cute packaging with small labels, chiffon bag and tub.
Handmade
Brightens skin and repairs cells

The Bads:

The tub packaging in unhygienic
Pricey (but it is natural and works great on my skin so justified )
Available only online

BlingSparkle Rating: ★★★★/5

Final Verdict: I am totally loving my skin these days all thanks to the Fuschia Arabian Jasmine Anti-ageing Night Cream. If you love natural and organic stuff this cream is your best night cream / anti ageing cream.
