L'Oreal Collection Star Pure Reds Li Bingbing Review and Swatch


L'Oreal India has been collaborating with their brand ambassadors to create custom lipstick shades for quite some time now. The first product I got from their Star Pure Reds line was Li Bingbing's shade Pure Fire.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream and Lip Care Stick Review


If you know of the benefits of Vitamin E for skin but don't want to pierce a pill and slather oil all over your face, skincare products with Vitamin E are a great option.

I have been using the Vitamin E Lip Care stick for a month (purchased on 20th February and it's now 22nd March). I have to say it's one of the BEST lip balms I have ever used! It's waxy, non-sticky, and silky. It applies very smoothly and moisturizes my lips like nothing else. I apply this at night, then exfoliate in the morning, and get silky, soft, smooth lips. What I absolutely love about this balm is it's not glossy, so I can use this under matte lipsticks without losing the matte effect of the lipstick. There is no petrolatum in this, which is always a plus. It has a faint plastic smell which fades away after I apply it. One think that irks me, though, is the stick can feel pretty hard sometimes, so I have to drag it on my lips and swipe it on several times to get a thick layer. But other than that, this lip balm is phenomenal. I bought this for BDT 800/- from Cosmic Jovian, Jamuna Future Park.

The Vitamin E Moisture Cream is quite oily but doesn't make me sweat. Oily creams usually tend to make me feel warm, but this does not have that effect, which is why I like it. It moisturizes well without giving me that sticky feeling and helps get rid of dry patches. It feels silky on my skin. I don't know of any side effects since I only use this once every three to four days or so. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for light moisturization. This cream actually belongs to my mom, but we don't mind sharing! 

I really do like these two products from The Body Shop's Vitamin E range and will probably repurchase the lip balm again. I will also be on the lookout for new products from this range.

Have you tried these? Did you feel these are moisturizing, or were you disappointed? Let me know in the comments!
