The Lightest Lotus

Lotus Herbals Whiteglow Skin Whitening And Brightening Gel Cream SPF-25 is the 2nd lightest creme I came across after ALOE VERA gel (which I m in love with).I have been using it for 2 weeks and it is really really good. It does work, not the whitening part as I already have a fair complexion so can't be sure of that, but it brightens up the face and with regular use it also obliterate midget spots that occur all over the face because of harmful sun rays/sun tan .

I have a combination skin which means oily skin during summer and dry skin during winters and as I have been using it since only last few weeks I can't say how effective it is during winter but in summer it work wonders. The Lotus Herbal Whiteglow Skin Whitening and Brightening Gel day creme actually does control oiliness, brighten ups the skin, moisturise the places that needs moisturisation and is so light that I can't feel it on my skin after I massage it dry.

Now the package part, I like the container, it is transparent and is made up of glass,I don't know why but I like everything that comes in a see through and glass packaging.The only drawback is, if it would have come in a pump dispenser bottle/container than I would have appreciated it full heartedly. The pump dispenser help alot in avoidance of lots of wastage.

A little bit of it will do for all day and I have even used it as a base for my make up,it works as that too, no need for any other heavy base or sunscreen.This is my first ever day creme that I have purchased in my life and I m not regretting it, though I was sceptical about it at the time of buying it. It cost around Rs.345 but I got it at a discount of almost 50%, there are many websites that offer good discount too.

Overseas Colours

My brother is working overseas for the last 2 yrs and he is at the moment in Dubai, the city of luxury shopping, the ultimate destination for shopping by big and small celebrities all over the world,that's what I heard and read at newspapers (I m an avid reader I read alot,online,newspaper,mag,etc).

I used this opportunity to the fullest and requested him to bring me some make up products which I got to know by doing some survey online that they offer great brands and good quality make-up and beauty products at really a great price that one can easily afford especially during their sale period where they slash off upto 90%  from their products,I know some inside stuff thanks to my bro(wicked wink)about retailing. So when he returned after 2 yrs completion of his job(another law/rule of Dubai) with 2 most fabulous gift that I asked for, I was overwhelmed.

Since he is my brother and men usually don't understand women stuff and craze for make-up, he is easily forgiven by me for not bringing me more different make-up products.However,what he did brought me I couldn't find anything to complain about. He brought me a Foundation with exact colour that I wanted to try and a  make-up kit and both of them is really awesome.

The make-up kit is the complete set with eyeshadows, lip colours, 2 different shades of powder and blushes. All the colours are so fabulous and flattering I don't need any other separate eyeshadow or lip colour, maybe separate applicators but they work well too. The eyeshadows have this shine that when I applied it, it emits a kind of glow to my skin that is why I m totally in awe of it.

Another plus point of this kit is that it has 2 different types of face powder, 1 is simple and a bit darker shade while the other is a little lighter and has lots of shine to it.

 The foundation is also very good and mix well with my skin, I haven't actually found out the foundation which meets my desire until this came my way.the foundation is absolutely bliss and just a little bit of it would do wonders, no need to lap up lots of thick foundation on to skin anymore. It is light in colour and its consistency is also very unique neither pure liquid nor  thick creme but in between.

I love the packaging also. No more excess product, just the amount required will be out is one push and I can see how much is left to use. I like the transparent container. Well,I think I have enough make-up to last me for good few months(8 months or so) because I use heavy make up only when I m going to some wedding or parties otherwise a Kohl/kajal is what I use on regular basis.But I m truly in love with the products that my bro brought me (I didn't even thank him,I think I should,would give him a return gift).
