Lotus Pure Radiance Matte-Glow Daily Foundation Fresh Ivory 350 Review

Lotus Pure Radiance Matte-Glow Daily Foundation – Fresh Ivory 350 Review Entry #4 Chandana

Price and Quantity: Rs.175 for 25 ml.

My experience with Lotus Pure Radiance Matte-Glow Daily Foundation:

Packaging of Lotus Pure Radiance Matte-Glow Daily Foundation is stylish sleek plastic bottle. The nozzle is very small and tube like. The color of the bottle resembles to that of the foundation colors thus giving the idea that the product in the bottle is a foundation.

Texture is pretty nice. And the coverage is just average for daily usage. If you need heavy coverage, then this product would fail to satisfy you. 

Blending is easy.  But you need to be quick, because it tends to dry where ever you have made spots. That’s why I feel a tiny amount of your favorite cold cream mixed with this foundation would work better.

Staying power is satisfactory. The main positive point is it does not melt. Fresh Ivory is the lightest shade available form this range.

What more do you need from a foundation that is available for below Rs.200!!!! In my opinion a good pick and it makes into the list of budget purchases.

Rating: 4/5

Pros of Lotus Pure Radiance Matte-Glow Daily Foundation:

-          Stylish packaging.

-          Perfect thickness for a foundation.

-          Easily blendable.

-          Good staying power.

-          Good coverage.

-          Affordable price.

-          Perfect choice for beginner.

Cons of Lotus Pure Radiance Matte-Glow Daily Foundation:

-          Limited color selection

-          Dries off pretty soon if delayed in blending.

-          Not suitable for heavy coverage.

Thanks chandana ...I want to try this for everyday use :)

Lotus LICORICEWHITE Skin Whitening Cleanser Review

As usual I went for groceries shopping and bought all makeup skincare stuff…So I was gazing aimlessly at the Skincare and makeup Aisle…spotted this in the lotus rack….

As soon as I saw another girl pick up this Ayurvedic Cleansing Bar …I grabbed one for myself and during billing only found out that
It costs Rs.70 for 100gm…but then what to do still I bought this home

Here it is


What does it claim


Active Ingredients - Pls click the pictures to enlarge



My Take on this product use


I don’t use soap for face so tried this for regular bathing :P

I will list it out with pros and cons


Pros:
I really loved the smell…its very sweet fruity, flowery lovely smell…it lingers in your bathroom
My hubby said you please take bath first so that the bathroom smells good…
So you get to take bath first
Lathers really very well…you will have that squeaky clean effect
Moisturises to a certain extent but doesn’t dry
It did remove my tan and thus lightens the skin color to some extent
100% Natural Ayurvedic bar
Handmade


Cons :
• Price ..i find it little over priced but then it does remove tan ...
• The fragrance stays for a very short period on skin
• Soap dissolves easily..just 2 weeks or so
• Doesn’t whitens the skin but removes tan
• Extremely dry skinned people will need a moistureriser


So I will rate this 4/51 reduced for price, dissolves easily and for that skin whitening claim.

Will I repurchase : yes, I love the fragrance and removes tan do try this out , sure you will love the smell.


Will i reccomend ? Yes yes yes....

Lotus WHITEGLOW Skin Whitening Facial Foam Review

Lotus herbals has introduced new a range called "White Glow" and with a new packaging which is good...
This range consists of facial foam, scrub, serum, gel creme,face mask(masque), emulsion
and this time the entire list of ingredients has been given :)

So today i will review about the facial foam which i have been using for more than 3 weeks so here is my verdict ;)

Lotus Herbals 3-in-1 deep cleansing Skin Whitening Facial Foam
Price :Rs 95 for 50 gm


The Claim:

Deep Cleanses
Whitens
Blocks Melanin Production



What it contains ?

Active Ingredients: Milk Enzymes and Aloe vera gel
For other ingredients please see the image below


My Take:

I have used many of lotus products and am a happy customer when it comes to their tee tree face wash as well as Berry scrub and sun block, this made me try the white glow range..



This facial foam smells good and the consistency is not creamy but little runny white glossy liquid .Just like they have mixed aloe vera gel and milk.
I wont say that this facial foam lathers very well but it does lather good.
Its gives a refreshing, clean and an instant glow to the skin.

What I like ?
It gives instant glow to the skin
Doesn't dry the skin(I have an oily /combination skin)
Skin feels very soft and supple.
didn't cause any break out.

What i dont like ?
The instant glow fades after sometime
It did not remove my entire makeup...kajal was still there and it bured like hell when i tried to wash the kajal...:(
I am not sure about the melanin blocking part
It didn't whiten my face even after using it for 3 weeks
Though the new packaging is great I didn't like the nozzle and screw cap idea for a face wash.
Because of the huge nozzle and runny consistency of the face wash more quantity comes out and its getting wasted.I would have liked flip cap for this.

Can you see how much of face wash is stuck in the screw cap ?

So my overall verdit is this a good product that brightens the skin but sadly doesn't whitens.Not my HG face wash

Hope you liked this review...:)
