[Review] Peripera Pure Blushed Sunshine Cheek 05 Dusky Rose

 I bought this for my sister as she loves blush a lot. The packaging is minimal and super cute . There are around 8 shades in this collection. I bought it in the darkest shade available as my sister has a warm skin tone and pastel /light blush don't show up on her skin.

Add a warm pastel flush to your cheeks with these highly pigmented blushes

Contains sebum-absorbing powder to ensure long-lasting wear

How to Use:

Apply a proper amount to the cheekbones with a brush and blend for a natural-looking finish.

Colors Available:

#01 Pink

#02 Peach Coral

#03 Afternoon Red

#04 Nudy Amber

#05 Dusky Rose

The slightly tinted acrylic packaging is chic . There is a quote embossed on the blush. Mine has rubbed off to some extend due to multiple use as you can see. Overall the packaging is sturdy and travel friendly. 

Dusky Rose is a dusty rose colour. It is saturated with deep warm tones. Personally don't like warm tone blush as they look muddy on face but this surprised me immensely. Thanks to its pastel pigment this translates same colour as in pan so no muddy murky blotches on the face. The sebum absorbing powder keep the face matte for longed duration. I have noticed that this lasts around 5-6 hours on my face. It is pigmented so I built it slowly so that I don't over do it and end up looking like a clown . 

Overall I really like this blush from Peripera and I plan to add more colours to my collection .

Peripera All Take Mood Technic Palette 03 My Autumn Mood Review

 Peripera just launched their autumn/fall collection and everything is just too beautiful for words. Colors are all fall inspired, a combination of Orange, Brown and deep pink shades with sunset sparkles sounds magical. 

A multipurpose eye shadow palette consisting of complementary shades for creating a customizable look.Glittery shades come in highly-buildable formulas for creating bold eye makeup looks.Can be used as blush and for contouring purposes

Quantity : 13.5g

#03 My Autumn Mood: Soft autumn coral, pink and brown colors

The packaging is same, clear acrylic case with plastic cover to protect the shades from merging into each other. This didn't come with a brush and I am fine with it,  composition is same a mix of round, square and rectangular pans.

Compared to the previous palettes this has 8 matte shades, 3 shimmer shades and one marco glitter shade. Overall I love all the colors in this palette. There are more pastel / lighter shades for eyelid. All the eyeshadow have smooth texture and provide maximum color payoff on one swipe. I did notice a bit of fall out but I think my goat hair eyeshadow brush is more at blame here. 

Overall I am very happy with the quality and the price point of this palette. All the colors are great for everyday use. I will be using this one a lot this fall season . Would you all like a comparison post on all three palettes ? Let me know in the comments section below

PERIPERA All Take Mood Technique Palette Around Brown Review

 I had this palette on my wishlist for a very long time and now finally I have it in my possession . Peripera has surprised me immensely this time because there is a variety of different formulas used in this eyeshadow palette

Infinite colorful moods for going with the flow. Multi-use technique palette that breaks the preconceived notion that you can only apply it on the eyes. Comprised of colorful pearls and glitter particles, tap to create delicate or glamorous looks depending on the way you use it

Around Brown : From daily brown makeup looks to stylish reddish shaded moods

This is more of a daily warm toned palette which contains glitter shades to create night time/ party looks too. What I love about this palette is the versatility factor. This contains colors for contouring/shading, filling in eyebrows and even blush. 

Even though the plastic packaging is a little bulky for travel it contains pretty much everything you will need to define your cheeks, eyes and face. 

I consider myself to be cool toned but after using this palette I am not quite sure about my skin tone anymore (hehe) because all the warm colors look so pretty on my face

The clear acrylic case is very pretty but it has one flaw unfortunately. It gets scratched easily. So you might have to take extra care else it will end up looked worn down and battered soon. This does not come with a brush or a mirror and it is totally fine with me because I use my own anyways. 

Coming to the eyeshadows . There are 6 matte eyeshadows in this palette. 5 of them have the powder like feel to them like regiaore matte eyeshadows but the last shade at the bottom Right corner has a gel like feel to it ( you will know what I mean once you swatch it with your fingers) 

There are two shimmer shades which give foil like effect. The color pay off is incredible. These glisten like wet metal it is so intense ans beautiful ( 2nd shade on top row and 2nd shade in last row ) 

And lastly the sparkle eyeshadows ( three colors in total)  these have some kind of adhesive base which makes them stick to the  eyes so well that there is zero fall out. I have noticed that these apply well with fingers . Once set these are completely transfer proof budge proof. I normally tend to avoid sparkly/glitter eyeshadows because they tend to end up all over my face and make me into a glitter ball. But these are easy to control and don't mess up the whole eye look .

Would I recommend this ? 1000 times yes. It is so versatile and the quality and really good. I will be reviewing the cherry palette soon so keep your eyes peeled for that 

Currently these are available at Club Clio website for 18.99$

[Review] Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Serum

So I had this popular serum in my skincare cabinet for over an year but never got around to using it until the start of this year 2021 when my skin messed up all of a sudden and I ended up with a constellation of scars on my face.  If I correctly remember my purchase was heavily influenced by all the raviews I found online so my expectations were very high with this product

Available only 4 weeks out of the year, green tangerines contain 10 times more vitamin C than mature tangerines. The vitamin C used in this collection, ascorbyl glucoside, is stable against light and non-irritating. Combined with arbutin (natural skin brightener) and niacinamide (vitamin B), the Vita C serum and cream work to provide long-lasting hydration and a brighter, more even skin tone. Great for all skin types, including sensitive.

I have tried multiple vitamin C serums over the course of 4 years but a serum containing 75% Green Tangerines extract was entirely new for me

 Ingredients

Water, Butylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Methyl Gluceth-20, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycereth-26, Niacinamide, Arbutin, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Extract, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Panthenol, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Choleth-24, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Allantoin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Adenosine, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Disodium EDTA, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract, Glycerin, Madecassoside, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Maltodextrin, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Asiaticoside, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract

Vitamin C serums are notorious for their very unstable nature and short shell life but this is different. The texture is gel like and is not affected by air or light whatsoever. According to the reviews shared online many people saw visible difference within 2 weeks time. If you analyze the ingredients list you will notice that the first ingredient listed is water followed by butylene glycol, three lines down and you can see niacianamide, arbitin and tangerine extract . There are some acne causing ingredients like essential oils further down the list so if you have sensitive skin beware

The packaging is a really heavy glass bottle with pastel green pump and a cap. Overall the packaging is beautiful but a little impractical for a clumsy person like me

The serum is gel like, it is ver yeasy to spread and I need only two pumps to cover my entire face . It leaves a slight tacky residue which makes this works great as a primer for my foundation and helps it to adhere better to my skin. It also keeps it hydrated during the day. Many gel creams and serums tend to pill when layered under makeup or other skincare products but this remains same through and through. 

I have been using this for 6 weeks now (I have used up half of the bottle already) and here is what I have noticed. First off this is really good at hydrating the skin. Specially in winters when the skin is flakey and dry this really fixes that issues. Secondly this doesn't oxide or change color like other vitamin C serums. In terms of brightening skin tone and lightening PIH I haven't noticed any major difference unfortunately. I feel like this is more off a slow working product that requires a lot of time to show results. Compared to other Vitamin C serums like Purito or The Ordinary I haven't experienced any skin irritation at all so I am really thankfully about that but for scars I didn't notice any laudable progress unlike the Ordinary Vitamin C suspension which healed and lightened my scars in just one week . 

I like this serum and would buy it again for its hydration and makeup primer properties but for my acne scars and PIH I will pick something else that is strong and more effective.

SUMMER SKINCARE FAVOURITES 2020

I shared my Makeup Favourites for 2020 in previous post. I have a few tried and tested skincare favourites for the summer of 2020
Lets start shall we !!

The first step of my skincare routine is an oil cleanser but since I have run out of my favorite Celimax Blackhead Removing Cleansing Oil I haven't found anything as that on my skincare routine

On the other hand I am genuinely enjoying the Senka Speedy Perfect Whip Cleanser . This is one of the cult favourite best selling cleanser from Japan. I opted for the pump bottle packaging as I really like the ease of use and tons of bubbles this creates.

Axisy Daily Purifying Treatment toner is something I used last year and liked it but them I got distracted and this ended up forgotten in my cupboard. But now due to the current pandemic and mask my acne has flared up pretty bad.  So I rediscovered this gem of product in my stash and incorporated this back into my routine. And slowly with continuous use my skin has improved a lot.

Sweating + sebum = clogged pores which means BHA. I have been using this Cosrx BHA Power Liquid on and off for 1 year and this works wonder for the pesky clogged pores I get on my face. I just pump this on a cotton pad and swipe it on my face gently a few times

Have you ever tried a gel spray . This Herb Doctor's Gel Spray surprised me a lot . It has this cool gel texture which sprays out like a liquid.  I like to pop this in fridge prior to use and trust me this feels so refreshing on a hot day. The hydration is adequate for my oily skin.

GASTON Shooting Star Crystal Eye Patch . It is hydrating, depuffing and beautiful to look at. Do I need to say more ? I am already at the end of my tub

A 2 in 1 product in my opinion that works really well in keeping the sebum under control with its smooth silicon like texture while protecting against the sun at the same time. Sunscreens are notorious for giving white cast or piling under makeup but this DMCK Clean AC Sunstick SPF 50 PA+++ crosses out all of those problems

Summer is incomplete without a good mid mask . This year I am really digging this Pixi Glow Mud Mask. It has a relatively soft, flowy easy to spread texture which dries down completely in less than 10 mins. I have noticed that this really grabs all the gunk and sebum in my pores

Pimple patches are a must have for zit . I recently introduced this Purito All Care Recovery Cica Aid to my routine . I like these. They are thin and do the job without damaging the wallet

2ndesign First Lip Balm Restore and Soothe is a generous sized non scented lip balm that moisturizes chapped lips and makes them plump

I  am guilty of having smelly feet . This Keep Cool and Soothe Feet has been a complete game changer for me . It refreshes the feet and keep the dreadful smell under control.

APIEU Icing Sweet Bar Mask and AbyBOM Ultra Serum Leaf Mask are to of my favourite sheet masks for summer.  Both of them have nice thin sheets, good summer scent and water like essence.

Duft and Doft Stockholm Rose is the perfect floral scent you must try this summer. It is soft , feminine and very summer appropriate

Lastly I want to add in these two really summery nail enamels to the list. These are the Golden Rose Color Expert Nail Lacquer in Shade 113 and 130 . Just takes two coats to get beautiful color and shine.

So that is all for my Summer 2020 skincare favourites. I hope you enjoyed my post
