Hi Pals,

              Today on Beauty Velvette, I am reviewing Schwarzkopf All Weather TAFT Hair Lacquer.

Schwarzkopf All Weather TAFT Hair Lacquer

Quantity : 250 ml
Price      : Rs 250/-

Packaging Says : 

• 10 Carat Shine-Mega Strong   
• With Brilliant Shine booster for intensive shine.
• 24 Hr hold without stickiness, no residues, easily brushed out.
• Does not weigh down your hair and protects them from dryness.
• The special All weather taft formula protects your hair against wind and humidity and helps protect against UV rays.
• For Volume, spray directly towards the roots.

This Hair Lacquer comes in a cylindrical aluminium Can with an attractive Red clothing and a spray on nozzle. Is light weight and easy to use.

My Experience with the product :

Schwarzkopf All Weather Taft Hair Lacquer claims many things but doesn't lives up to most of them. My hair is Dry and Limp and I bought this product thinking that it'll sprinkle those shining crystals on my Hair making them appear attractive but it came out to be a dud. I couldn't see an iota of shine in my hair after spraying it and to make the case worse, it made my hair all the more drier to touch and feel. However, it didn't weight down my hair, didn't make my hair feel sticky or left any residue behind. The product also claims to provide 24 Hr strong hold to your styled hair but it doesn't give more than 4-5 Hr hold. Another feature of this product is that it also provides Volume to the hair and it fares a l'il better in this claim as it does gives a decent volume to the hair when sprayed on the roots. The Quantity ( 250 ml ) of the product is quite a lot against the price tag of Rs 250/- and due to this the Quality of the product has suffered. I am totally disappointed with this Lacquer and do not recommend it.

My take on what the packaging says : True or False

• 10 Carat Shine-Mega Strong  : False 
• With Brilliant Shine booster for intensive shine : False
• 24 Hr hold : False
• without stickiness, no residues, easily brushed out : True
• Does not weigh down your hair : True
• Protects them from dryness : False
• The special All weather taft formula protects your hair against wind and humidity and helps protect against UV rays: False
• Gives Volume : True

The Verdict :

I don't recommend this product.

I'll score it  1.5/5

Reviewed: IRAYA Green Apple Lip Balm

Hi Everyone,

                      Just in time when our lips started falling prey to the chilly winds and turning Flaky, Dry and Bleed-y in serious cases, I'll be sharing my experience with Iraya Green Apple Lip Balm. Lip balms are the real life lips saviors in Winters when our lips vouch for moisture and nourishment and therefore stalking up our favorite lip balms in this season becomes one of our top priorities.

     IRAYA Green Apple Lip Balm

  

 Quantity : 20 gm

 MRP     :  245/-

Packaging Says : Blend of fresh, Tangy Green Apples with Nourishing natural oils & butters. Ideal for protecting lips from Dryness or getting chapped.

Iraya Green Apple Lip Balm comes in cute li'l transparent Glass jar which is neither too heavy nor light with a screw on lid opening. This particular Lip Balm falls under Iraya's Botanicals range which includes Body, Face & Hair care products as well. The lip balm comes in two other varients namely Orange & Citrus and Vanilla & Whole Milk and can be bought from their Online store here. 

My Experience with the Product : 

Iraya Green Apple Lip Balm is a nice sheer balm with a wax-y texture and mesmerizing fragrance of  raw apples and gives a whiff of Bees Wax as well when you concentrate on the fragrance. The staying power is average as One swipe of this Balm lasts for about an hour without eating or drinking anything with a sheer coverage and that's why atleast two swipes are needed for a good coverage and a better protection against flaky-ness and dryness. Can't say anything about it claims of keeping chapped lips at bay as I do not suffer from this condition. I feel the requirement of re-applying it after every an hour and a half or so and hence I feel that the balm should also come in easy to carry tubes because it is not practical to carry the glass jar with you all the time. It does make my lips feel moisturized, nourished and craving for more. The quantity of the product ( 20 gm ) is great against the price tag of Rs 245/- and will last  for atleast 4-5 months. The only thing I found concerning is the whiff of the Bees wax it carries along with the fragrance of the raw apples whenever I open the jar but it doesn't release that smell once the balm is applied on the lips.

My take on what the packaging says :

Blend of fresh, Tangy Green Apples with Nourishing natural oils & butters. 

Ideal for protecting lips from Dryness or getting chapped.

It definitely nourished my dry lips and protected them from drying further.

The Verdict :

Iraya Green Apple Lip Balm is sheer and colourless balm with tangy aroma of raw apples. Keeps the lips moisturized and protected from dryness and because the quantity is really good, it'll last for quite a few months. If you love nice moisturizing and fragranced lip balms, give this one a try.  :)
I'll score it 3.5/5
