EID MUBARAK to everyone celebrating🌙 First of all, these photos are #nofilter hence witness the magic of these GLOW MOTIONS GLOW OILS #soldejaneirogiftedme in their full GLOW- RY😍 This is not the first time I am trying summer glow essentials like this so trust me when I say that along with the Brazilian bum bum gorgeous scent you get the bum bum goddess glow. They perform much better in terms of that perfect amount of shine you want to exude when you are out and about in your fabulous dress on a beach-coz baby summer is knocking! These body oils from @soldejaneiro aren't sticky, blend seamlessly with your personal tools (fingers) and have a soft blurring tint. The travel friendly beautiful packaging takes the cake which I see them introduce in their hair mists too. The Rio Sunset- Champagne shimmer is my fav for the decolletage. Ahh I love the color of the Copacabana Bronze! They have moisturising ingredients like Capuacu butter, Acai oil and. Coconut oil. These luxe oils are decently priced at $35 for 75ml and they are doing to last you for long hence I absolutely believe they are worth your vanity! You are all set for summer with these 😍😘 Link to purchase: https://www.octoly.com/c/hdjlg/r/hbf1n #makeupbychak #soldejaneirogiftedme @soldejaneiro #soldejaneiro #soldejaneirogiftedme #octolyfamily #glow #summer #beachready #moisturizing #glowoil #oil #instagood #insta #instagram #love #monday #mondaymotivation

#ritualsgiftedme the SLEEP BETTER- the Ritual of Jing Sleep Bundle. One brand which you will find in very nook and cranny of my house is @ritualsusa!! The brand's packaging, quality and pricing is always on point. I have many of their lines hence was so glad to add the Sleep Bundle to my collection too to add the calmness, stillness and tranquility in my life. I practice meditation for sometime on a daily basis hence have been showering with the Foaming Shower Gel, applying the hand mask ,roller-balling the cooling serum on my forehead and neck along with lighting a candle prior to my practice just before bed. The lingering fresh scent of these products absolutely amps up the sensorial and relaxing experience in my practice. Try this at home next time and I promise you will #sleepbettertonight!

DO YOU GO FOR REFILLABLE PALETTES? I believe buying palettes like these not only help me place colors or categories of products of my choice in a particular palette but also helps in some way being eco-conscious considering you are not going for single-use palettes. The products were #gifted to me. I love the concept of these palettes and the thought adopted by @mineralfusion but would have loved if they were magnetic. I had a really difficult time removing the single pans (with tools I had) and in the process dented some of them hence it is not for someone as unmeticulous like me! Do you have guys have any suggestions to help with removing pans like these..let me know But I absolutely love the fact that their products are #clean #natural #crueltyfree #vegan #artificialfragrance free and make mineral based cosmetics products suited for even the sensitive skin (#hypoallergenic). The eyeshadow quality is good and colors pigmented. I love the shade range in the STARGAZING highlighter palette. The third palette has creamy concealers but currently the shade range is limited (only 8) in standalone pans. However, you can still mix and match colors within the palette to get your perfect shade. I got the 'Indulgence' one but should have gone for 'Decadence' possibly. I would definitely love to try out their skincare next! Their products are available at @target. #makeupbychak #womanowned #mineralfusion #makingbeautyhealthy #target #gifted #makeup #makeupcommunity #instagood #instagram #insta #review #tuesday #tuesdaymotivation

WHICH ONE WOULD YOU PICK?? My favorite is the @soldejaneiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream... do share yours!! #makeupbychak #soldejaneirogiftedme #soldejaneiro #bodycream #love #pic #picoftheday #tuesday #tuesdaymotivation

#peachslicesgiftedme the ACNE SPOT TREATMENT TRIO. So my friends suffering from acne, read on about these products from @peach_slices. Patches like these are most effective in case of sensitive skin wherein you can do target testing before effectively choosing a product. Along with that these are travel friendly and may have a longer shelf life. The trio consists of the: 🍑Acne Spot Dots- this is the product I got the most use out of as I suffer from hormonal acne at least once a month. The sticker-like hydrocolloid acts as a protective cover over the affected area and effectively helps reduce inflammation, in my case in just a day. Has 3 patch sizes. I have used patches like this before and this one is cost effective too- 30 patches for $4.49. 🍑Dark Spot Microdarts- It does help with redness but it is difficult for using dots to correct hyperpigmentation on my skin as it is spread out. If you have spotted pigmentation, let me know if you have tried it and if it worked for you. Has Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Cica, Licorice root extract etc to help correct dark spots. 9ct for $8.99 🍑Deep Blemish Microdarts- I am impressed with the ingredient list (salycilic acid, cica, tea tree oil, Niacinamide)and curious about the way so many effective ingredients have been compressed into a product like this. I haven't had blemishes for sometime so it was difficult to test this out as of now. I am not hoping for blemishes in the future, lol, but have to hold on for a review. 9ct for $8.99.

Guys just want to say please bear with me while I take some time off to get to a better place mentally to start posting with full rigour. I know I have been slacking for the past few months but things have been tough. It is still amazing to see you guys hang around though! Just wanted to show you all these products #giftedbyipsy and I am thankful to @ipsy for always getting to try so many new brands. The theme for February is FULL HEARTS as it is the Valentines month. Hope you all have joyous days ahead. Products in the bags are from @maccosmetics @gotoskincare @benefitcosmetics @goldfadenmd @contextskin @firma_beauty @yensabeauty @byroe_official @beautyforreal and @ditocosmeticsofficial #makeupbychak #ipsy #ipsyopenstudios #ipsyglambag #ipsyglambagplus #saturday #giftedbyipsy #valentines #love

#firstaidbeautygiftedme the new Ingrown Hair Pads with AHA and BHA. This product from First Aid Beauty is supposed to work best for all skin types and that includes sensitive skin too. These are on the go, single-use pads that are meant to effectively eliminate angry razor burn and painful ingrowns while also preventing new ones from popping up. The pads are alcohol-free with Glycolic and salycilic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells that trap hair to prevent ingrown bumps from forming. Has a combination of Witch Hazel and Aloe to soothe skin afterwards. You get 28 pads for $20. Link to purchase: https://www.octoly.com/c/hdjlg/r/hbdbb Honestly I have not been able to test them out properly due to some personal circumstances but had to post a review due to a deadline. This post is for information purposes but I can say I have high hopes from these pads as I love @firstaidbeauty products. I will do a review probably on my stories soon. #makeupbychak #firstaidbeautygiftedme @firstaidbeauty #firstaidbeauty #octolyfamily #saturday

#absolutelyloveit After a not so positive review post ealier, here is a product I am in all praises for!! Thank you @drzenovia for always sending me your wonderful products to test out and this moisturizer definitely is in my top 2 favs from the brand (first being the acne spot treatment) Peptides and ceramides in one product is an amazing ingredient combo which this magical moisturizer has. If you have sensitive skin on retinoids, you can use this product without worries too. Whether using it daily or packing under a heavily exfoliated and masked face, the moisturiser never fails to deliver. I use it everyday at night and my skin feels beautiful next morning! Have had no reactions from this product. Has powerful ingredients like aloe vera, bakuchiol, Hyaluronic Acid and @drzenivia's star ingredient REG-ulate360 Complex. The price point is on the higher side ($79 for 1.7 fl oz) but the benefits overshadow it. Strongly recommend. #makeupbychak #giftedwithoutobligations #drzenovia #moisturiser #skincareroutine #skin #skincare #gifted #review #wednesday

#didnotwork So glad to be back after a long break! Any thoughts on the 2% SUCCINIC ACID ACNE TREATMENT from @theinkeylist ?? Have you guys used it? The product does have some amazing reviews online- some call it a miracle worker for acne. But strangely this does not work for me. People love that the product is creamy and non-drying when applied to a pimple but that's what I want my acne treatment pastes to do (somehow its in my head that they work better if a treatment product dries out). I applied it everyday twice on the affected area but my stubborn zit did not go down or lose its redness. The acne pimple patches I use work really fast to tame a painful zit. The product is super affordable at $8.99. There is no taking away from the fact that @theinkeylist products are inexpensive and I would definitely love to try more from the brand (like the Hyaluronic Acid cleanser). But I wouldn't use the acne treatment again. #notgifted #makeupbychak #acne #acnetreatment #product #pimples #skincare #discoverunder20k #wednesday #review #honestreview

Did you know 'HENNE' means Her in Swedish! The brand Henne Organics is Swedish inspired and American made. Thanks to them for #gifting me these products. All the products that they sent me are my most used product categories especially in the winters. I love their simple all black packaging. The CITRUS LUXURY HAND CREAM is packed with aloe, argan oil and Shea butter with a fresh citrus scent. The LAVENDER MINT LIP EXFOLIATOR is not aggressive on the lips and has a refreshing mint lavender soothing feel. The LIP MASK is a product I use every night. Has nourishing ingredients like sea buckthorn and evening primrose to soothe lips. Lastly the LUXURY LIP BALM is packed in a sleek black metal tube and is a pop in the purse nourishing lip product. Their lip products are definitely some of the best. Do check them out at henneorganics.com. #makeupbychak #henneorganics #gifted #skincare #lipcare #handcream #winter #winteressentials #tuesday

WHERE ARE MY CANDLE LOVERS AT!! Holidays spell scented candles lit all around the house for me. I was, thus, waiting to show you this gorgeous collection of candles I received from @thwholesalers so many weeks back, when it is just 17 sleeps before Christmas 🎄🎄 Thanks to them for #gifting me their products. I have been burning the Lavender and Vanilla scented candle for so many days. Their candles not only smell divine but help you relax, restore your house, filling it with a refreshing scent. I received the following sets: 🎄Nature Candle Gift set of 4x6oz tin candles- the packaging is mesmerizing and so ideal for gift giving (although I am keeping all of these for myself😁). The powerful fragrances of premium essential oils will immediately fill your room with natural aromas of refreshing citrus, mood boosting mint, sweet basil, and warm amber. Fairly priced at $20.88. 🎄Gold Candle Gift Set 3x4.25oz Glass Candles- this has luxury written all over it! Has natural aromas of soothing eucalyptus, mood boosting bergamot, refreshing persimmon, sweet strawberry, and fresh parsley. Price is $20.88 🎄The Pomegranate 3 wick soy candle and the Lavender Vanilla one are my favs. They add mood and elegance to your home decor along with brightening up entryways, kitchens, and common areas. Priced individually at $20.88. I strongly recommend you go check their website at thwholesalers.com and pick products to elevate your sensory experiences at decent prices! #makeupbychak #thwholesalers #gifted #candles #candlesofinstagram #soycandles #giftset #celebrate #christmas #christmas2021 #love #discoverunder20k #fun #wednesday

#amikagiftedme the BACK FOR SECONDS DRY SHAMPOO + SHINE SET (this can be a great holiday gifting set for your loved ones) I had always wanted to try hair products from @amika and this did live up to the expectations I had set after hearing so many amazing reviews about the brand. The trio consists of the: The PERK UP DRY SHAMPOO- It is a product I reach for most of the days when I am hustling and don't have time to wash my hair (which is often). It does not weigh my hair down, does not leave any white residue on my scalp (as some do) and I especially love the fine sprayer. THE TOP GLOSS SHINE SPRAY- Use a few spritz post heat styling and your hair will wear a beautiful shiny, glossy, healthy look!! THE FLASH INSTANT SHINE MASK- I would get a bigger size of the product. If you especially have dry hair, this product can become your go to to deliver instant moisturising and shine effects. Use it in the shower, saturate hair as you would a conditioner and rinse off. This set is available at a very affordable price of $26. If you haven't tried the brand yet, this is a great starter set. The brand is #crueltyfree #vegan #environmentfriendly #colorsafe #sulphatefree #mineraloilfree Link to buy: https://www.octoly.com/c/hdjlg/r/hbcuo #makeupbychak #amikagiftedme @amika #amika #servingamika #octolyfamily #hair #haircare #hairtransformation #hairstyles #octoly #gifted #dryshampoo #love #review #mondaymotivation

Trust me, it's truly SKINTERTAINMENT😍 Christmas arrived early for me when this #scoopparty package tub arrived.

The #gifted tub contained: 🎉CAKE MY DAY WASH OFF MASK- You can scoop the sprinkler filled mask as a soft serve ice-cream and it feels and smells the same on the skin too. Contains Hyaluronic Acid, Squalene and Glacier Water to boost skin hydration. 🎉MATCHA MOOD FACE MASK- It is a green-tea scented, matcha enriched face mask. Presence of Aloe is so soothing on the skin. 🎉BERRY GROOVE FACE MASK- It is a berry scented face mask with antioxidants and exfoliating strawberry seeds. Also contains raspberry extract and glycolic acid to brighten and revitalize dull skin. The highlight for me- the super soft, cute and crown shaped Pink Tiara Headband to keep flyaways and hair out of the way while washing the face.
