Avene Very High Protection Emulsion SPF 50+ : Review, Price & Swatch

Hey girls,

Today's post is all about Sunscreen. It's a myth that you couldn't apply sunscreen after sunset, sunscreen should be taken off before going to bed. You should apply sunscreen even if you're indoors, especially in kitchen. Yes! you read it right kitchen because there is maximum heat while cooking which can lead your skin to dullness. In this post I'm going to talk about Avene Emulsion SPF 50+ Sunscreen basically for oily skin. So grab a cup of coffee & read on to find out more :

Price : Rs. 1375/- before it was Rs. 1250/-

Quantity : 50 ml

Product Specification : It is hypoallergenic, non-comedogene, water resistant & paraben free. It is suitable for normal to combination skin, contains broad UVB & UVA protection with SPF 50+.

Packaging : Avene Very High Protection SPF 50+ Emulsion comes in sturdy tube type packaging with airless pump dispenser, which is very easy to use & spread out the product as much required, no mess at all.  The cap locks up effortlessly which makes it travel friendly too. Impressive!

My take on the product:

As I told you earlier sunscreens are very important whether you're indoor or outdoor. What if your sunscreen is waterproof & sweat-proof, it is indeed!

Texture of this sunscreen is a thick white cream which is really emollient, absorbs easily without making skin greasy or oily, within seconds it assumes matte finish. It stays on pretty well because of its water resistant feature. I use to sweat like hell & applying any sort of cream-sunscreen doesn't makes sense but this sunscreen has change my views. My skin feels more radiant, no white cast as mostly sunscreen would do. Even though I sweat it doesn't comes off on rubbing or blotting for next few hrs. After 5-6 hrs my skin feels little shiny, no issue it can easily be solve using blotting paper. I'm really impressed with the texture & consistency. It doesn't break me out not even once. This sunscreen is boon for oily skin people, can be use throughout  the year. It comes in other variant too for dry skin people.

The only thing I didn't like is the fragrance, it has flowery kinda smell which is little weird but gone away after sometime.

Now talking about the price & quantity, it is really a high end brand. At this price tag you get only 50 ml product, which fairly last you for more than 2-3 months because two-three pumps are required to cover entire face & neck. I don't mind splurging in when you get such a prominent & remarkable product.

Final Verdict : Avene Very High Protection SPF 50+ Emulsion is formulated for oily skin beauties, which is paraben free, hypoallergenique & non-comedogene, means suitable for acne prone skin too. It doesn't break me out neither form any whitish cast. Above all it is waterproof & sweat-proof, which is a blessing! I highly recommend this!

G.C Rating : 4.8/5 (.2 deduct for fragrance otherwise it's superb)

P.s : This post was much awaited for review but due to my personal commitments I couldn't do it earlier. Better late than never!

Beauty Tips: 6 Eyebrow Mistakes You Should Avoid

Hey everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend with full of zeal and ardour. If you follow me, you know I'm an amateur in blogging and makeup field but crazy zealot at the same time. So while learning and executing the makeup tips I learned that the most part is your Eyebrows. They should be given proper timing to groom just like you prep your lips or eyes. Simultaneously there are many mistakes we should avoid or stop doing right away to keep off mortifying situation. So today I'm going to share with you 6 Eyebrow Mistakes should need to stop immediately.

Mistake #1 - Not Shaping Your Eyebrows Correctly With Shaping Rules.

The first and foremost mistake we often do is over-widening your eyebrow gap and taming dishevelled ends. Stop doing this and start following the shaping rules, 3 steps to follow as below. There should be perfectly arched in between, that doesn't mean 45 degree accurately or zero size arch but yes there should be some sort of eyebrow arch like instructed in image.

Mistake #2 - Moisturizing Your Eyebrows

By above I mean to say that you shouldn't treat your brows like skin and apply creams/moisturizer over them, they are hair follicles just like hair on scalp. When you don't apply any kind of creams on head then eyebrow should be treated the same way. Application of cream/serum can cause hair to fall and prevents growth. This is the most important tip I learned!

Mistake #3 -  Waxing/Threading Your Brows

This is an ultimate learning, threading the delicate area can lead to sagging of skin and unsolicited ingrown which looks weird in future, instead start using tweezer, which helps in plucking a single hair at a time and precise plucking helps to maintain the natural arch and prevents the risk of over-plucking!

Mistake #4 - Going Overboard

As we all know market is full of eye brow pencils and kits. Every girl dreams to have perfectly arched shaped brow. That mean they're not intended to be loaded with tons of product, use a shade like brown or gray, black is a big no no! Rather go for black-brown. Go bold but not too bold. Hold your angled brush/brow pencil like a feather weight and just do light strokes to cover the gaps, maintain the naturalness despite looking artificial tattoo. See image below to understand what I mean!

Mistake #5 - Over Tweezing

Over tweezing is the commom mistake we do and have to regret later, using a magnifying mirror and too much lighting can lead you to over-plucking of hair which result you lose the arch of your brow. Second thing, do not tweeze the top edge of your brows instead go for threading or stick to pluck the underneath.

Mistake #6 - Plucking Before a Shower/Bath

If you're ready for shower or hot bubble bath, avoid plucking your brows beforehand. Being entice to pluck can cause your delicate skin to stretch, alternatively do it later because added heat and moisture onto your skin makes it real easy to take out pesky hair gently and nicely.

Remember, "Your brows should be sister, not twins", this is the beauty mantra that shouldn't be ignore. Very few have symmetrical faces including eyebrows, so don't worry just follow the correct procedure to get that arch and precise shape.

These were the effective tips I learned lately and thought to share it with you people who are beginners or teen, college going girls.

Hope this helps you a bit!
