The Fleamarket Queen

{REVIEW} Za True white liquid foundation

Hello Girls in summer dresses!

Its that time of the year when weather transitions are happening for the worse. Heat and some more heat. But it doesn't deter our spirits. We have our favorite summer companions -shorts/minis/hats/umbrellas to make this time worthwhile! And now, I am sure you must have stocked on the Za true white two-way foundation as it contains SPF! Well, for those of you who haven't ,read my review here & buy it here.

Let me now introduce you to another member of the family- The Za true white liquid foundation, again with an SPF . Lets see if this can be your new summer companion especially during the evenings! Well, evenings because this liquid foundation contains small gold specs to illuminate the skin and you would be surprised with the results as you read below.

What the product says: Enriched with Vitamin C & E, Minerals & Hyaluronic acid, this Breakthrough Illuminating & Poreless Liquid Foundation creates Pearly Translucent & Radiant skin. SPF 25 • PA++ protects skin from UVA and UVB. Get Brilliant Luminosity and Perfect Finish Now get long lasting satin smooth & even-toned coverage.

Quantity: 30 ML / 1Fl.oz
Price: INR 950
Shades: Comes in 6 shades . Refer the Za color chart to know more about what each shade implies. All shades have been created keeping in mind the asian skintones and I must say they have done a brilliant job at that! The OC30 shade was recommended to me by the Za skin expert and look how its blends into my complexion without looking like a foundation!

Packaging: The design of this bottle is the prettiest I have ever seen and felt amongst foundations. Its cute like a tiny keepsake. The best part is it comes with a pump. This guarantees a spill-proof, mess-proof storage and application

Travel-friendly? It is travel friendly depending upon how you carry it. You cant just throw it into any bag as its a glass bottle. Wrap in a nice cotton bag when you need to carry it on a holiday.

Fragrance: Like all Za products from the True-white line, this foundation also has a faint rhubarb/rose fragrance that fades away with application. However,the fragance is so natural & refreshing, it elevates the mood.

Directions for use: Its important to prime the face before applying foundation. I prefer using Za perfect solution moisturiser on the face before applying the foundation. This moisturiser is perfect for Mumbai summers and lets my oily-combination skin breathe while giving it the perfect balance of moisture. After application of the moisturiser, I use the foundation . If you want to know how much of the foundation is required for the entire face, refer my swatch below. Yes,almost 1/4th of a pea-size amount! Dot your face with this amount and tap with fingers. The foundation absorbs beautifully.

Coverage: The foundation is highly pigmented,which explains the tiny amount required to give coverage to the entire face. Because it has luminous gold particles,it illuminates the skin making you photo-ready and flawless! I didnt need a concealer inspite of acne blemishes!

Final Verdict: Need I say more? The no-edit pictures below tell you how the Za true white liquid foundation is like fairy dust- your fairy godmother just waved her wand & blessed you with. The skin looks so luminous ,you need nothing else to layer! This is one power packed product which needs no accompaniments to make you look fresh & flawless as a dew-drop. Yet another oily-skin loving product from the stable of Za. Finally we can enjoy the virtues of skincare in makeup products. With the goodness of SPF, Melanin inhibitors & lot more, I cannot ask for more in a foundation! Thank you Za. I have more reasons to love my oily skin .

#PhilipsLFW : The Wendell Rodricks Popology for Philips 2015

The last few weeks have gone by raving about all that was "hit" and "miss" at LFW 2015 Summer Resort. While my busy schedules didnt allow me the liberty to personally sit through all the shows, I made it for one-and Thank God I did, thanks to Philips-the official styling partner for LFW this season! It was totally worth watching the Raghavendra Rathore collection because it wasn't just the well-toned men we have in the country, but sitting opposite me was the God of them all- Kabir Bedi! I am a die hard Kabir Bedi fan for his good looks even as he gracefully climbs the age-ladder at 69!!! I have been really lucky as this is the nth time I have bumped into him, the last I saw him was when he sat right next to me at a play in Prithvi! Droooolll! My eyes were barely on the collection! But,never mind :)

Coming back from my KB obsession, I visited the Philips booth which had the latest Air-styler on display. I quite like the concept of the hair-dryer with a comb-head. Do you use one? Though I am not sure how well it does the job. But knowing and experiencing the goodness of all Philips products in my daily life-I can say it might be darn good. I use the Philips Ion Shine hair dryer and I feel its one of the best in the market. A little tip : For daily-purpose hair dryer ,always consider buying a 2000W+ dryer to avoid damange to the hair. Lesser wattage means damage.

I attended Lakmé Fashion Week thanks to Philips and BlogAdda.com

And now back to where I started- Lakme Fashion Week 2015 Summer/Resort. The last day saw a special showcase of Wendell Rodrick's collection called "Popology for Philips 2015" also marking his return to LFW after 3 years! Remember the last time I met Wendell Rodricks, he was representing Goan culture at an event for Goa tourism!

Philips gadgets were used to style the models for this show . Color-blocking is used generously in most of the pieces. Most pieces translate into wearable fashion for summers . With fresh shades of orange, lime and turquoise, the collection does help in beating the blues. It may not surprise but is peppy & likeable enough to wear this summer!
What do you think?

Well, with summers setting in I promise you a host of travel and fashion posts ahead! Keep reading! Till next time!
CIAO!

GIVEAWAY+ My #HairIsFashion Look #2

Hello ladies!

Its been a while we talked. Remember my LAKME makeover from Dec 2014? I am still loving how my hair feels almost 3 months down the line! This HAIR-style needs some pampering with the blow dryer to maintain the look. However, I take the liberty of styling it my way- No blowdry! All I do is just comb my hair with a paddle-brush after drying my hair and the result is my wavy hair in their own playful form.

And now, one of you lucky ladies will win the 1500 INR gift voucher from LAKME SALON for a makeover! I am loving your entries on twitter with the hashtag #HairIsFashion. Over 100 tweets now and the count is rapidly moving up!!! Keep tweeting and lets see who's the lucky girl!!!
