Za True White Liquid Foundation OC30: Review, Swatch, Price

Za True White Liquid Foundation is a foundation I have been using lately and will probably continue to use during summers as it boasts of an SPF25 PA++.

So first things first, lets take a quick look at the packaging. Za True White Liquid foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The shape of the bottle is interesting.

Za True White Liquid Foundation OC30: Review, Swatch, Price

I don't like glass bottles personally because then my 2 minute makeup routine stretches to 5 minutes because I need to make sure I take out the bottle carefully, dispense the product and put it back safely before I topple it over onto the floor. So I keep my Za True White Liquid foundation very carefully because this is my current go-to foundation and I don't want to break the bottle.

Za True White Liquid Foundation OC30: Review, Swatch, Price

The dispenser is good, one pump dispenses a small amount (see the swatch image below) so there is never any wastage and no hygiene issues as well.

The texture of the foundation is a semi-thick liquid that blends easily. I do not notice any fragrance in this so people with sensitive noses should be OK to use this.

Za True White Foundation has medium coverage that is buildable. I have shade OC30 which is the closest match to my skin. It looks a tad bit lighter but settles down to match my skin in about an hour or with the help of a little dusting of my Bare Minerals warm glow loose powder. There are 6 shades available and OC30 is the darkest shade. So if you have a deeper skin tone I don't think you'll find a match. There is one more shade available for skin with pink undertones.

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Plus Nourishing Nail Color - Calming Cocoa - Review & Swatches

Starting the week with another nail polish review. This is such a gorgeous shade from Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Plus Nourishing Nail Color range. 

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Plus Nourishing Nail Color - Calming Cocoa

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Plus Nourishing Nail Color

The Maximum Growth nail polishes are said to contain Vitamin A, C, E and Soy Protein. The company claims that it helps growth of healthy nails. I am an ardent lover of all Sally Hansen products and this one is no different. It makes my nails feel healthy and strong after I remove the nail paint (which is easily after 1 week because the nail paint does not chip off)

O.S.T. Original Pure Vitamin C 20 Serum - Pre-view

I wasn't a serum user and always wondered if these type of 'lotions' actually benefit the skin or are simply terms used for marketing things to the consumer. But when I tried out the OFRA B5 serum (reviewed HERE) I really liked what it did to my skin. That was when I first read up about serums seriously and realized what I had been missing.

O.S.T. Original Pure Vitamin C 20 Serum

What are the benefits of Vitamin C

When I got to try out the OST Vitamin C20 Serum I first did a bit of research on what Vitamin C does to your skin and how it works. So first let me share with you my findings

1. Vitamin C prevents oxidization of skin (for proof you can apply vitamin C to a slice of an apple and you will notice it does not oxidize like a regular slice does - vitamin C acts like a barrier) - it does the similar thing to your skin - and hence prevents aging. 
2. Vitamin C is listed as Ascorbic Acid in skin care products. To make direct application gentle for the skin it is usually mixed with glycerin.

Perfect Beauty Friend Forever - My Experience With Garnier BB Cream

My best friend is my sister. Our tastes in food, clothes, shoes, accessories and even makeup differ a lot. But somethings are just too good to be disliked by either one of us. One such recent fascination is the Garnier BB Cream. Yes I know, there are a lot of reviews already out there for this tiny little wonder but when my sister, who normally abhors makeup, liked the product I knew I just had to do a post on this.

We both got ourselves the Garnier BB cream and tried it for about a week before exchanging our views on this. My sister has normal skin which tends to border on the dry side. I on the other hand have combination skin bordering on the oily side with a lot of acne problems. So here we were, two very different skin types using the same product hoping to achieve good results.

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector

We used the product and were surprised to know that the product had fared well on both our skins. While she uses the BB cream on her skin immediately after washing her face, I use it after applying the OFRA hydrating serum that I had reviewed HERE. I have also tried using this on top of a primer as well as on top of rose water.

Based on the combined results that we sisters saw, here is a summary of the Garnier BB Cream for different skin types.

Garnier BB Cream For Normal/Dry Skin

• Spreads easily
• Feels very light on the skin as if you are not wearing any makeup at all
• Gives a clean flawless appearance to the skin
• Instantly brightens the skin
• Discoloration of the skin is hidden
• Only a small amount of product is needed for entire face
• Stays on the skin for almost entire day (8 hours)

Garnier BB Cream for Combination/Oily Skin
