Nivea Glamorous Gloss- Review



There’s something about pink things which attracts me, I mean not that I love everything and anything in pink but this pink tube certainly caught my eyes, and I just couldn’t let it go. There’s nothing very very special about the packaging of the product but somehow it’s cute and adorable.
Nivea has had a few interested glosses even in the past. Remember the color and shine glosses? They were the tinted ones. If you have forgotten them click on, www.nivea-international.com. Those were the tinted ones, I wished I saved the empty stick to take pictures for you all :P. I totally loved them, they had a good tint and an awesome flavor and fragrance. I had the strawberry one, ma ma miiiiiiiaaaaaaaaa..! :P

Anyways getting back to Nivea Glamorous Gloss.
What does the Nivea Glamorous Gloss claim?
• Beautifies your lips with stunning brilliance thanks to pink ultra shine pigments
• Delights your senses with an exotic fruity scent
• Provides long lasting care without sticky feeling
• Contains SPF 15, protection against UVA and UVB rays

Price and quantity
Rs. 139 for 8.5 ml


About Nivea Glamorous Gloss:
With the prevailing deadly winters, my hunt for a good moisturizing gloss ended with Nivea Glamorous Gloss which is enriched with Vitamin E. It’s yet another win win product from Nivea. I love Nivea glosses more than Himalaya, Lotus and Vaseline. It’s an out and out completely and perfectly composed gloss. It has everything and a little more than your gloss requirements. It’s available in 3 yummy flavors Pink Sugar (the name is sooo soo sooo lovely), Natural, and the Ruby red. However, I didn’t find the Ruby Red on the shelf though in Chennai. :(
What does the company say about the three different flavors of Nivea Glamorous Gloss?
Nivea Glamorous Gloss Pink Sugar: “ Beautifies you lips with stunning brilliance, thanks to pink ultra shine pigments and adds glamour and gloss to your lips without a sticky feeling.”
Nivea Glamorous Gloss Natural: “Gives your lips a dazzling brilliance and delights your senses with an exotic scent. It’s natural tone lets your own lip color shine through!”
Nivea Glamorous Gloss Red Ruby: “Give your lips an exotic scent and a blush of red. It adds glamour and gloss to your lips, whether during the day or for that special night out.” LAMOROUS GLOSS PINK SUGAR
Beautifies your lips with stunning brilliance thanks to pink ultra shine pigments and adds glamour and gloss to your lips without sticky feeling.

Packaging:
Adorable. Simply sweet and simple. The Pink packaging of the gloss simply holds your fancy, the whole world vanished from my eyes when I saw the pack. :P Nivea people are very smart with their product packaging specially for the beauty products.
The tube is super cute. Pink pink pink.  I fall for it everytime I see it. :P
What I like about the Nivea Glamorous Gloss?
• I love the gloss keep liking aside.
• The gloss keeps up to all its claims.
• As soon as I apply it, it makes my lips soft soft , hydrated and moisturized.
• It has a good staying power. 
• Has a good shine when applied on bare lips. It looks great when applied with any lipstick combination too.
• The scent of the gloss is yummmilicious.
• It has a nice slant tip for an easy and non-messy application.
• It’s economical; I would have even paid a good Rs 200 too for this gloss.
• Non sticky. Doesn’t melt at all.
• Looks great in the day light and also makes your evening outing glamorous. :P
• Even when the gloss disappears, the lips continue to be hydrated and moisturized. I love re-applying it anyways.
• I feel, my lips are better than before now. I mean initially in the winters they dried up soon and chapped too, but now they are smiling.
• When applied on lipsticks it gives a great new color.
• Contains SPF 15 tooo……one more reason to love it.
• Its seriously - “NIVEA- for lips that love to talk, smile, laugh and kiss.”



What I don’t like about the gloss?
There’s absolutely nothing which I hate about the gloss. Seriously. No flaws at all.

My Take on the product:

I recommend all of you to use it this winter and I am sure you will love it and use this through out the year too.  Even the Matte lipstick lovers can use it as a perfect coat on your lipsticks.

Rating: 5/5


Would I purchase it again?

Need I answer it? Darnnnn yes. I regret not taking the Glamorous Gloss Natural one tooo.. 

Miss Claire Eyeshadow Review and Swatches




Hellow ladies….I am back with yet another review. I believe, the price of the product doesn’t really matter, what matters is the product’s quality and results. The high end products are usually gifts and very financially planned ones. 

Today I am reviewing one such pocket friendly product. The Miss Claire Eyeshadow- Black and bronze.

I bought them recently, and guess what on the day when I bought them; one of them fell down and broke. I mean the packaging is still sturdy and fine but the content of the bronze shade, ahem ahem.  Broke. 



Shades: Miss Claire Eyeshadow Black- 0819
Miss Claire Eyeshadow Bronze- 0252

About the product: Miss Claire is supposedly a Korean brand, which just super affordable products with a good quality. They have their own line of almost all the cosmetics.  I chose the eyeshadows, actually I had been looking for these eyeshadow pans for quite some time now, especially seeing them on Gia’s blog.  I love you Gia for sharing them with everyone. 


The Miss Calire eyeshadow pans are almost the size of the one rupee coin. And totally adorable, they look so cute. 



Contents:
There’s a long long list of contents behind the choti si dibbi. I find it totally useless to read, for an eyeshadow, I mean with glosses and lipsticks it’s all good. 

The best ingredient from the long list is the Jojoba oil, yes it does contain jojoba oil and the rest are oxides and sulphates. 


Price and quantity:

Rs130 for 2gms (I got amazing discounts on both the pans, I bought them for Rs 200 means, Rs 100 each)



The shades and the swatches:





Miss Claire Eyeshadow Black- 0819:

The Miss Claire Black eyeshadow is totally a fantasy shade. It’s spunky and chic but yet classy. I mean it is highly pigmented with small specs of silver and blue glitters. It spreads evenly and doesn’t crease at all, I mean at all. It’s a perfect one for all those smokey eyes looks. 

You can easily get your chic looks done with this shade. Not just this, you can also have all your elegant and classy looks done with this pan. 



Miss Claire Eyeshadow Bronze- 0252:



The Miss Claire Eyeshadow Bronze eyeshadow, is one of the sophisticated bronzed brown shades. It has a very fine and shimmery finish. Small specs of brownish glitter give a perfect and sassy finish to all your looks. 

Be it wedding or a formal meeting, this shade can certainly take your make up to a different level altogether. 



What I like about the product?

• Affordability. Too good for their price.
• Packaging, super super cute. I keep staring at the dibbi. 
• The shades are darn pigmented.
• Soft and smooth textures. (The jojoba oil works, you see)
• They blend well. 
• Miss Claire doesn’t really have a bad record with it’s cosmetics, so I can say, they are reliable. (We always tend to ignore the Chinese and Korean brands, poor things).
• All that glitters is Miss Claire. I love the classy glitter and shimmer it has.
• They do not crease. Strictly.
• A good good color payoff, plus a goooooood staying power. They sit on your lids for hours. 
• You can skip applying a primer or a base for them. They look good when applied on virgin lids too.
• No fallout at all.

What I hate about the product?

Certainly, nothing. Nothing at all.
Most of my products don’t really have cons. 

Availability:

You can find them in all most all the beauty stores, and also the shops dealing with imported cosmetics.
Verdict:
A product worth your money and a sure hit for the pocket. 
