Tresemme Salon Silk Moisture Shampoo And Conditioner Review

As i have sort of frizzy and not so thick hair finding a proper shampoo was always arduous. i  wanted a shampoo that could softend ma hair 'WIDOUT" weighing it down and so many shampoos made me wish that if i was  born in 2100 so that someone would have invented a good shampoo atleast by then. however with tresemme i found the results where quite amazing. Tresemme salon silk moisture shampoo contains vitamin H and silk protein.But gals beware this contains high level of sodium laureth sulfate :(

price - Rs 128 for 225ml.(shampoo)

          rs 135 for 225ml (conditioner)

What i loved about this shampoo :)

• it does what it claims- makes your hair really really smooooth!
• doesnt weigh down hair- while washing you can instantly feel your hair becoming soft and you will love running your fingers through your hair.For better results and more smooth hair oil your hair before wash(mixture of olive and coconut oil will be great)
• reasonable price- usually professional quality shampoos come in high price but tresemme is sooo afordable .
• leaves a pleasent fragrance- It doesnt have that headache giving stench . The pleasent fragrance last for upto 2-3 days after wash
• very less or no hairfall during wash - this is the 2nd best thing i loved about tresemme. Usually ma hair falls like tree leaves while washing but when using this product i found hairfall is very less.

what i hate about it :(

• Contains SLS (sodium laureth sulfate) !!
• most of us believe in a myth, more and thicker the shampoo lathers, much better will be our shampooing expereience. But the truth is sad sls eventually coz damage to hair. It oftens results in hair thinning. (before buying this product i had read 2-3 reviews and 1 had stated that her hair weighed down a lil after 7-8 washes may be this sls guy is the culprit!)
• 
  
• FDA requires that the list of ingredients should be inorder of their amount in the shampoo. so The ingredient which is higher in amount comes first. In tresemme sls comes "SECOND" !! even the vitamin h and bla bla comes a lot later :( anyway the ones who have really thick hair and dont care about sls, tresemme is for you. and most of the shampoos even though herbal will contain atleast small amount of sls
• 
  
• Should use conditioner to get the full effect- to get really soft hair and for better results the conditioner should be used. the shampoo alone dries hair a bit.May be its just with ma hair coz shez really tough!

will i buy this again-na ah!!  i will defnitely buy the conditioner till the day i shampoo...but tresemme shampoo?? becoz of the sls part , i am going back to ma old herbal shampoo :/

oopz sry for making the review a lil bit too long :P

Review - Lakme Eyeconic Kajal, MAybelline Gel Eyeliner and Coloressence Eye Pen

eyeconic, maybelline gel liner and coloressence pen

 As i Love applying kajal to every possible space in ma eyes i have been searching for a suitable smudge free and easy to use kajal. After using kajals of few brands (like colorbar intense kohl eyeliner and diana of london long wear eyeliner which were disasters)  i ended up in having my personal favorites. While most of the kajals ended up in making me look like a panda after 2 or 3 hours i got the best results from the above 3.here am going to review those 3 kajals.

Maybelline gel eyeliner

as you can see maybelline gel eyeline comes in a black carton which contains a brush and a tiiiny galss tube [its so tiny i wonder if it would last atleast 2-3 months :(  ] just one swipe  will give you that desired lines. but those with unsteady hands..donot come near  this product! this will give you a nightmare

Pros:

• do not smudge even if you have oily eyelids and watery eyes! what more would you wish for however applying a bit powder under eyelids before application of kajal will make your kajal last even much longer
• travel friendly- the brush comes with a plastic top and the glass tub comes with an aluminium cap. You can easliy carry it in your vanity bag
• can be applied on lower eyelid - unlike eyepens which wont work on lower eyelids, this product can be used to beautify your inner as well as outer eye.
• it has a very creamy texture which glided quite smoothly and dries quickly after application, very difficult to smudge
• matte finish- as this product is matte finish it doesnt give you a glossy liquid look those matte finish lovers are gonna absolutly love maybelline gel liner

cons

• a bit pricey- saw that the same product is available online at rs 375  but  i wanted to buy it after seeing a test piece .Being imported and marketted by Loreal india, it is priced at rs 410 for 2.8g. 
• even though it doesnt smudge after 3-4 hours you will find that it fades a little. This can be out ridden by applying a lil black eyeshadow on top of your kajal.

Lakme eyeconic Kajal

This is a product from Lakme eyeconic range. the kajal is a twit up pen and most travel friendly among the 3.

Pros

• i absolutely loved it! for rs 199 have to say the results were amazing. It has a more intense color (but not blackest black) if you want to get a jet black look you have to apply 2 swipes.
• do not smudge easily- the kajal stayed intact for 4-5 hours ( as i said i have bit oily lids and watery sensitive eyes) 
• donot irritate waterline- the best thing i loved about this product is that unlike most kajals it glides just smoothly on your water line . it does not cause burning or irritating sensation. just 2 swipes and you are all set to go.
• no fading- even if it smudges a lil, the color doesnt fade away or start to flake.it fades evenly

cons:

• 10 hr clim defnitly not true. even though it has amazing staying power have to stay the after 5 hours the kajal on your lower water line will completely dissapear( i dont know if this happens just wth ma eyes) i drew winged eye with eyeconic kajal thickly applied on ma inner rims and making wings and extending on outside with coloressence eye pen.By  eveing when i loouked at mirror what i saw was just the wings and kajal had vanished , hafta say i looked a bit funny then.
• Detail list of ingredients not specified
• tends to break if correct pressure is not applied

Coloressence eye pen

This was the first eye pen i used. I bought it just coz i got it at a lesser price  form coloressence stall while visting a fair.I Initially hated eye pens but after using this i forgot all abt those twist up pens and need to sharpen kajals.

 Pros:

• shiny black look- with just 1 swipe you will get that liquid glossy intense black line and dries almost instantly
• verry good staying power- though will start to fade a lil after a couple of washes the staying power is soo gud. i applied the product before going to college at morning and the lines created by this eye pen was still left there wen i left collge at evening ( i had used eyeconic kajal for inner rims and it had vanished completely )
• easy to use- you dont have to sit by drawing lines again and again in 1 swipe you can create either thin or thick lines

cons:

• not at all travel friendly- the pen have to be stored upside down all the time to prevent the tip from drying. so cant be kept inside your purse
• wnt smudge or flake but will fade a lil after 6 hrs an not completely water proof
• cant be used inside eyes. if you usethis eyepen you will have to use a good kajal for inner rims.

so in among above 3 its really hard to choose 1 so i mix up and use the products.Like applying eyeconic kajal on inner eyes and coloressence on lower eyelids or touching up with eye pen after applying maybelline gel liner to get a more intense look.
