Review: Banana Boat Sun Protection UVA & UVB- SPF 50

Heyllo you all,how are you all doing today? Hope fancy shamcy :) ...

Today I have a  Banana Boat Sun Protection UVA & UVB review for you all that I wanted to do since joining the blogger community.

In the beginning of watching YouTube videos I also got introduce to the very lovely Sunscreen-

I never knew how much damage can sun cause our skin and how much important role sun block play in protecting our skin.

So when I got all the information I ran to my nearest market and grab a Sun screen with the highest SPF that was available. 

For beginning I didn't research before buying this product I didn't know any better really

The Banana Boat Sun Protection UVA & UVB-SPF50 -water resistant' claims to be ; Fragrance Free
                                                                             Aloe Vera and Vitamin E
                                                                               Non-Greasy.

 Banana Boat Sun Protection UVA & UVB Packaging

Before starting-Please take this review of mine with the grain of salt as i am only telling my experience with this product if this works for you then
great I wish I could say the same:(

Lets start off with the con as there are alot more of them then the pros ekk....

The very first problem I have with  Banana Boat Sun Protection UVA & UVB is that its not non greasy.

I have oily/acne prone skin and this product make me super oily even if I apply the littlest amount of it .

The first time I applied this product I was a bit generous with it and after the application I looked like greasy ball or I might add a disco ball or a butter stick.
Seeing myself in the mirror like that I got a bit panicky ,washed my face right after the next second.

The second day I tried this product fearfully & carefully ,a pea size amount still gave the same shiny result but a little mild tone.
To combat the shine I applied a Baby powder to my skin and it was all better than before.The powder really muted the shine and I was up and away for 
my routine day at school.

I used this product for a week then the same technique pea size amount of product and baby powder.

But low and behold I started noticing that my skin wasn't feeling good anymore and was getting irritated now which is not very pleasant as we all know
and the I started to break out. And that was it from my side.


Then thirdly this is not fragrance free, and has a very strong sun screen smell to it which i am not a fan of.

Fourth con of this product is that well this might disgust some of you and if this happens with other sunscreen please let me know so i know its not this product 
fault but if it doesnt then it should be totally pointed out.In my Opinion it should so here am I mentioning it.

The Banana Boat Sun Protection UVA & UVB gets clogged up and by clogged up I mean
get around the nozzle and get in this awful gooey consistency and that is even without using it so if you use it of course it will get all over the bottle opening 
and its just not pretty to use. 

You can see in the picture below what I mean to say and this is after 2 month of not using it- I really don't know how it gets all over the place.

So first you have to clean the product that is stuck around the bottle opening and then use it.

Who in the world has time for that...Not me or anyone actually.

Seriously the experience with this Sun Screen has scared me away from using sun block.

But that could be just this one . I have never used any other sun screen so I cant really compare this with anything but truly and honestly if all sunscreen are                                                                              
like this than I am not happy bird at all.

I still use this from time to time as i don't like wasting my money but as soon as I come home this gets off my face right away.

I do feel bad giving bad review about a product but I needed to share this with you guys....

The only thing I can say good about the Banana Boat product will be -the cute squeezy tube packaging as you don't really waste any product in here and then it protects  from the sun . 


And that is all my dear friends.


Hope you found this review helpful and informative.


See you all soon .


Till then take care


Love you all 



PS. dont forget to let me know in the comment below if the clogged up thing this products does- did this ever happened to you too....???


Dont you dare to forget to Share this.....Now me really off bye:)

THE REVIEW :Labello-Glamorous Gloss Natural & Vitamin Shake Cranberry & Raspberry Lip Balm

With the winter season chapped lips are a hell a lot of pain and evil to deal with….

Now if you are on a search of a nice lip moisturizer/ lip balm then keep on reading …

Labello is the brand that introduced me to the lip balm world .Most of their lip balm I have tried out. Some I love and some Not so much….

Today I will be going to talk about the one that I absolutely love and the one that in my opinion works wonder….:)

REVIEW :Labello-Glamorous Gloss Natural & Vitamin Shake Cranberry & Raspberry Lip Balm

Let’s start with the Lip gloss which also works as a excellent lip balm first which inspired me to write this Review.

Labello Glamorous Gloss Natural

My 5 year old niece - got this lip gloss for herself & after she used it for quite some time she got herself a new tube and gave this with me and since then its with me.

The description of this lip gloss is…

Glamorous Natural Gloss gives lips a dazzling, shimmering shine and the gentlest hint of creamy pink for glamorous yet natural lips with an incredibly moisturized, non-sticky finish.

Amount of Product: 8.5 ml

Shelf Life: 12 M

The PROS:

First and foremost I’ll agree with the entire thing listed in the description above, as this product does what is says.

1)     The applicator on this has a slant which makes the product easily & smoothly applied; filling in everything, giving an even application.

2) The formulations is just like jelly without the sticky feeling; your lips feel silky smooth and hydrated/moisturize up to 3-5 hours.

3)      It has a hint of pink and tiny silver & gold flecks in it that you can’t feel on your lips which is a nice.

4)   The slight pink make your lip look healthy and the tiny sparkle which you cant really see but it make your lips
look
 plumper.

5)      For being a 2 in 1 product i.e. lip gloss and a lip moisturizer the price for this is decent.

 THE CONS:

1)   Although I love the applicator on this product ,I don’t appreciate the squeeze tube packaging. I am a person that likes to use my product till the very last drop and this makes me feel that I would waste some of the product that will be left on the sides, which I don’t like.

I’ll cut it the tub open after I have finished the product and then we’ll see if completed the entire product or Not…(will be updating this;) )

Would I repurchase this in future??

Yes, this product is something that you can use in the place of a clear lip gloss that has lots of extra oomph to it and is cheap from other lip gloss- at least the one that I have bought before so it’s a win win.

Now

Labello Vitamin Shake Cranberry &Raspberry

Labello Vitamin Shake Cranberry &Raspberry packaging


The description on this say:

Cranberry & Raspberry Vitamin Shake is a swirled, subtly tinted balm that leaves lips kissed with a hint of creamy, natural color and an irresistible satin finish for a healthy glow.

Amount of product: 4.8 g/5.5 ml

Shelf Life: 12 M

If you are on a look out for a lip balm with something extra then you should check this one. 

The packaging on this is so pretty and beautiful; I was sucked in very quickly. 
Unique and different.

 At first I was bit hesitant as I was using the 
Labello Lip Balm in Milk and Honey 
and it was doing wonders, I didn't want to change it but at the same time it was getting boring, so I made a mental note to myself that when the Milk and Honey finishes I would try this
Vitamin Shake 
out….and so I did.

The Pro

1)     Cutest packaging ever and product ever!! The design on the lip balm itself is just to die for. It seriously look like a Cranberry and Raspberry milkshake. 
YUM!


Labello Vitamin Shake Cranberry &Raspberry -how the product look like

2)      The smell- if you know Fruit-Tella -the -Strawberry flavor, this is the exactly the same smell (fruity and sweet) which makes me love this even more. It’s like Fruit-Tella in a lip balm.

3)      It moisturize…..Yahhhhhh…..it’s fancy yet keep the lip hydrated and add a beautiful color to you lips- making them look plump and healthy.

4) If you are someone who is not in to lipstick and is looking for something that add a hint of color then this is good for you. 
On days when sometimes I don’t want to reach to my lipsticks I just outline my lips with a color that is close to my lips and swipe this on and its looks beautiful-very natural.

5)    Has SPF 10.

6)  Contains- Vitamins E,C and Pro B5-if they say so...


7)     You get good amount of product and lasts for quite some time for a decent price-
I have been using mine since 6 months and still remains.

Cons

1)      Hmmm.... the smell might put you off if you are not a fan of fruity scents.

2) It’s so soft and creamy it can melt -in summer ,if you leave it in a hot place.

Other than that it’s a pretty nice product and does its job great.

Would I repurchase this in future??

Yes Yes Yes!
 No doubt!
 It’s cute, fun and does the job nicely.

Total Repurchase Quality :)
