Grid Solution UK CC Cushion Foundation SPF 50+ PA+++

Grid Solution UK is a brand from Korea and if you are a regular reader of my blog then you must be aware of my love towards Korean products. Grid Solution CC Cushion Foundation SPF 50+ PA+++ is here now this time. This product claims it doesn't require primer and setting powder, and it is 100% waterproof too..  Let's see how it works.


What attracts attention- I love trying Korean product and CC Cushion Foundation with SPF50+ PA+++ is a new concept in beauty products for me.


Price - $30
Best Before - 6 months after opening

Availability - You can buy it from here.

Ingredients - Refer to the picture below.


Formula and Staying Power- The formula is just perfect, it is neither too thick nor watery. It is thin in consistency, which blends seamlessly with dewy finish and stays for around 6-8 hours without primer and setting powder. It doesn't feel heavy or cakey on skin. And you doesn't need to layer different makeup products.


See below the two different looks I have created using this product without primer and setting powder. 



Packaging- It comes in a classic black square carton with all the ingredients details on it. The actual product comes in a black round box with push button mechanism to open. You will find a mirror inside along with a non absorbing cushion which is above the foundation and is secured under a different lid.


Pro's

1. It has SPF 50+ PA+++, it gives you dewy finish after proper blending.
2. 100% waterproof formula.
3. Push button mechanism, which keeps it safe and secure while travelling.
4. It comes with a non absorbing cushion and a mirror inside which comes handy and doesn't need any other brush while travelling.
5. You can get it with free shipping.
6. Actual foundation is secured under different lid, which keeps it more safe.
7. Formula is thin but not watery.
8. It feels very lightweight after applying.

Con's

1. This gives you a whitish cast if you doesn't blends well and it doesn't suits all skin tones.
2. Only single shade available, hope they will come up with more shades in future.
3. It is expensive.


Overall View

Sunscreen + Foundation + No setting powder+ No primer+ No extra layers of makeup + Waterproof = Grid Solution CC Cushion Foundation.
Must try if you love all these things.

Rating - 4.4 / 5

Tip - If you get confused while choosing the right foundation shade for yourself and ended up buying some wrong one then mix it with another shade.

Keep glowing and keep trying something new, bye as of now I will be back soon with another review, till then

Streetwear Color Rich Ultramoist Lipstick - Persian Blush 29


Streetwear is a brand which needs no introduction, it is another brand which comes under Revlon. This brand is in Indian market from a long time and it is too pocket friendly. And I m gonna review their Ultramoist Lipstick in Persian Blush shade.


What attracts attention- Obviously affordability and other reason is that it sub brand of Revlon.

Price - 199 INR
Size/Weight - 4.2 gm

Availability - Easily available online and offline too.

Ingredients - No Information Available.

Texture and Staying Power- The texture is neither too moisturising nor too dry, it is somewhere in between and doesn't moisturise too dry lips. It glides on easily and color is opaque in just two swipes. Yes it is pigmented and it is basically blue toned pink, which doesn't suit all skin tones. This color stays for 3-3.5 hrs hours and survives a heavy meal(TouchUp needed). It doesn't leave much stained lips after use.


Swatch+how it looks on my lips.




Packaging- It comes in a classic black retractable stick with cartoon girl on the cap and shade no. & name at the bottom. The packaging is very similar to Elle18.



Pro's
1. Affordable and easily available.
2. Glides on easily without any tugging or pulling.
3. Highly pigmented, color payoff is good.
4. Handy and easy to carry.
5. Doesn't leave dark stains on lips.

Con's
1. Not too moisturising as the name suggests Ultramoist.
2. It stays for 3 hours without any fading, after that you need touchups.
3. It doesn't suits all skin tones.
4. No ingredients information available.
5. Packaging can be different so one can differentiate between Elle18 or Streetwear Lipstick easily, it is almost similar.

Overall View
This is a good option for college going girls which is affordable and easily available. But be careful while buying it, it doesn't suits most of the skin tones. Girl with fair skin tone can give it a try.

Rating - 3/5

Tip - Don't throw your lipstick if you don't like the color, just try it to blend it with some other shade of lipstick. Who knows, you may find a perfect color for yourself.

I will be back soon with another review, till then

Bonorganic French Creme Rosa

Hi girls,

Hope everyone is doing well and I m good too. This time I have come up again with another organic and natural brand. In Northern India many people are not aware of this brand called Bonorganic, but it is more popular in Southern India. Basically this is manufactured in Tamilnadu.
Bonorganics has a wide range of products in different departments. They have shampoos, soaps, creams, handwash, face wash, insense sticks etc. And I am going to review their French Creme Rosa here. This is a cream with all the natural ingredients.


What attracts my attention- Roses and other natural ingredients which is safe to use.

Price - 395 INR
Weight / Size - Original product is 25gm but including packaging 100gm
Best Before - 23 months from the date of manufacturing

Availability- You can order it from their website www.bonorganics.com and it is available on organic retail shops too.

Ingredients - Basically all the natural ingredients available for more details refer to the pic shown below.


Texture and Effect- This French Creme is extremely fragrant. I found the fragrance is much like a mix of roses plus betel, which is very soothing and relaxing. The texture feels little heavy and sticky at first but as you massage it on your skin, it becomes light and completely absorbed into the skin and leaves a pleasant fragrance behind with soft and moisturized skin. And it stays up to 5-6 hours.



Packaging - It comes in a crystal clear cube shaped glass jar with black lid on it. It has twist and open mechanism with all the necessary details at the bottom. There is another leak proof lid of plastic inside it to protect it from any spill.




Pro's

1. All the natural ingredients included, which is safe to use.
2. Online and offline availability.
3. Fragrance is soothing and relaxing which gives you fresh feel all the time.
4. It makes your skin moisturized and soft.
5. Necessary details are mentioned on the product.
6. Glass jar makes it more hygienic and keeps it away from any contamination.
7. Infused with goodness of different essential oils and rose petals.

Con's

1. Packaging is not durable and heavy too due to glass container, handle with care.
2. This might be expensive for few, I means 395 INR for 25gms is not affordable at all.
3. I feel offline availability is less in comparison to Southern part of India.

Overall View

If you are an organic products lover and price is not an issue for you, you can give it a try. It is definitely a safer option with cooling properties. I really liked it.

Rating- 4.5 / 5

Tip- Applying creams at night is as necessary as applying cream in day time. Keep it moisurized all the time.

I will be back soon with another post, till then keep enjoying seasonal dishes and don't forget Keep Adding Oomph. Tc

Fuschia Tropical Alphanso Lip Balm

Hey girls,

I am back with another review and this is for Fuschia's Tropical Alphanso Lip Balm. If you are regular reader of my blog, then you must be aware of this brand. Infact my last post was about another product from this brand and that is about Crystal Rose Bath Salt by Fuschia. So I think this time no introduction required.


This is the first time I am using any handmade and chemicals free lip balm.
There are four other variants available in this, i.e Plush Peach, Choco Butter, Black Current and Pomegranate Pink.

What attracts my attention- I never tried any chemicals free lip balm, so I thought of giving it a shot.

Price- 225 INR but available at discounted rate as of now.
Weight / Size - 8g / 0.28oz
Best Before- 30 months from the date of mfg

Availability - Available online only on major ecommerce websites in India.

Ingredients - Refer to the pic shown below.


Texture, Effect and Staying Power - This lip balm has mango fragrance as the name suggests, this melts instantly after application. I feel little bitter because of castor oil in it, it doesn't feel comfortable on lips also, which I personally don't like. The fragrance fades away after a while but moisturizing effect stays for good 3-4 hours, you need to apply it again after that. This is a colorless lip balm, so guys can also try. Yes it heals my dry lips and make them soft.


Packaging- It comes in a round transparent box with brand and product name on it. No other information is available on the packaging, but this brand is sending square shape small papers along with it for all the other information needed, which is quite different.


Pro's
1. 100% vegan and natural.
2. All natural ingredients with goodness of Shea butter, Kokum butter and Vitamin E.
3. It can be used by Men also, reason- It is colorless.
4. Available in 4 other fragrances.
5. Free from paraben, petroleum base, artificial tints and synthetic perfumes which gives you a safe option to choose from.
6. Easily available on various shopping websites.
7. It heals and moisturize lips.

Con's
1. Feels little bitter and fragrance fades away within an hour.
2. Staying Power can be better.
3. Packaging is just ordinary.
4. I think all details related to product should be on product only.
5. I feel it is little high on price.

Overall View

This lip balm doesn't do wonders for me but if you are looking for a safer option, you can try it.

Rating- 3 / 5

Tip- Drink water as much as you can in winters too, it will keep your skin hydrated.

Tc, till then
