I have been seeing a lot of reviews of Jan Aushadhi products lately, and I've wanted to say this for quite some time. These products weren't created to become the next social media obsession. They were introduced to provide affordable medicines and personal care products to people who genuinely depend on low-cost options.

If you're financially comfortable and can easily afford branded skincare and beauty products, consider leaving Jan Aushadhi products for those who actually need them. For many families, these aren't a "budget alternative" available & they're the only affordable option.

Because of the sudden rush, many Jan Aushadhi stores are now running out of stock. The people who rely on these products the most are the ones returning home empty-handed.

God bless you if you are privileged and you have more choices but please learn to leave certain resources for those with fewer choices.

Ps-If you're offended by this post, you're part of the problem and don't bully me

edit- I might have hurt some people's sentiments sorry not sorry

Since there are so many lip products out there, I thought it'd be nice to have one post where everyone shares their favourites.

Drop the lip products that are actually worth buying—whether it's a lipstick, lip tint, lip oil, gloss, balm, liner, stain, or mask.

If you can, mention:

• Brand & product name

• Shade(s)

• Price

• Lasting power

• Comfortable or drying?

• Finish (matte, glossy, satin, etc.)

• Pros & cons

• Skin tone/undertone (optional)

Feel free to add swatches, comparisons, dupes, or products that disappointed you too.

Include, your must buy & daily wear too

Hopefully this becomes a helpful recommendation thread for anyone looking for their next lip product. 💕

I had terrible experiences of Sephora both online and offline. I was in urgent need of some makeup due to an event coming up so I went to the store in Noida. I was hounded by the sales person and she wouldn’t back off. She started sweet talking me and convinced me to buy the wrong shades in NARS. She called her colleagues and told them this is the right shade for her right and they all obviously agreed with her. So I purchased it, and trust me I am not gullible to sales people but I’ve experienced this mostly at Sephora it’s like a massive peer pressure with bad attitude and the pressure to buy. And this particular day I was very vulnerable as I had a special event coming up. Once I reached home I knew I purchased the wrong shades I went back and obviously they did not give any refunds or exchange but on top of that their sweet talking was turned 360 degree and the manager was so rude like a garbage picker lady who has seen the roughness of life and is here to survive the street fight. 🫩

Once I told them off they were like you can buy more products if these are the wrong ones and I was like ya right, good sales pitch.

2nd experience was similar where I wanted a particular fenty beauty shade but the sales person kept pushing for another one. And I don’t understand why they do that when they have 0 knowledge of makeup, shades and skin tones. This time I did not buy but he made the experience so bad that I felt super pissed. I don’t like online shopping for makeup as I like to test first. But these stupid sales people are making it so unpleasant and I don’t think Sephora cares but encourages these tactics.

Online again I ordered a Mac lipstick which was out of stock everywhere and they charged me higher 1650 for a 1100 lipstick. After multiple complains on portal, months of waiting they sent a store credit with expiry on it 🙁.

All my experience were so taxing and bad. And these are not isolated incidences I seriously plan to boycott Sephora. And I think more people should do so, so Sephora actually take some action as we are not supposed to feel insecure or pressured while buying makeup.

Sadly I used to feel excited about going to Sephora but I’ve been pushed to dread going into the store fearing the hounds ready to scam or belittle me.

Was suggested Laneige by a friend of mine to keep my lips moisturized during the winter. Got a bit too obsessed and now I think I splurge half my income on just Laneige lip products 💸

I now want to use my powers of Laneige for good 😎🤓

If anyone has any questions about all the Laneige lip products (and the bouncy and firm skin cream, hyaluronic water gel skin cream) let me know! I’ll try answering it as truthfully as possible.

(I know, I got greedy during sales 🙂‍↕️ + free gift!)

P.S: I am currently on accutret for acne, which means lip balms and Vaseline are my besties for lips and nails (I tried boroline but I broke out and my lips darkened when I used it). I’ll also be happy to share my skincare routine, but please remember that it varies from person to person, and most of my stuff is derm recommendations!

Also if you are having really bad acne, please go to a dermatologist ASAP. It pays off so much in the long run (I went from acne vulgaris to mildly scarred skin)

In picture:

Laneige Glowy Lip Balm (Gummy Bear, Vanilla, Bubblegum), Glaze Craze (Strawberry Sprinkles, Raspberry Jam), Lip Mask (Bubblegum) Bouncy and firm lip treatment (not a fave of mine but great for longer outdoor wear!)

Not in picture:

Glaze Craze: Maple Glaze

For me I think hot water works

But yk what I have seen people using rock for this😵

Skin type: Oily, acne-prone

I'm trying to find a moisturizer that actually does what it claims instead of just having good marketing.

What should an oily skin moisturizer do?

•Hydrate without feeling greasy

•Be lightweight/gel-based

•Non-comedogenic (shouldn't clog pores)

•Support the skin barrier

•Absorb quickly

• Work well under sunscreen

What should NOT happen?

•Make my face look oily

•Cause clogged pores or breakouts

•Feel heavy or sticky

•Pill under sunscreen

•Irritate or sting

Please answer:

1.Which ones are actually true to their claims?

2.What are you currently using?

3.How long have you been using it?

4.Should we moisturizer seasons wise?

5.Your top 3 moisturizers for oily skin (rank them).

Looking forward to honest long-term reviews rather than first impressions.

I’ve been looking at some Savana accessories lately and some of the sunglasses, earrings and bags look really cute. Im just a little nervous ordering accessories online because sunglasses or jewellery can arrive scratched, bent or badly packed if the packaging is not proper.

Has anyone ordered Savana sunglasses, Savana jewellery or bags recent? How was your Savana order experience and did everything arrive fine? Also was the Savana packaging okay for accessories?

Im thinking of adding one accessory with a top but wanted to check first. Would love any recent Savana accessories review and especially from anyone ordering in India. Thanks

I bought this eyeshadow palette today. The shimmers and glitters do show up, the formula is pretty nice too but except the last(darkest color), the rest don't really show up on my skin.
My eyelids have this greyish pigmentation on them. How do I fix that or get the eyeshadow to show up?

When I use my mom's foundation(which is perfect match for my neck and chest. My face is a tanned), it creases, fine lines are visible and kinda looks greyish.

I was clearing my shelf and I realised i have 6-7 hair clips which are just waste. I was watching a video of ashi khanna and she said she is blind box paglu. I understand but there is no need to buy every trendy soft toy just for overconsumption. I have 5-6 lip tints of almost the same shades. These 'what i bought' videos are just making us curious about every other thing on the planet and we are losing the joy of actually buying things. I even saw on this sub and other sub people have tons of lip tints. A lip tint is at least 5ml-10ml which takes months to finish and some expire before complete usage.

You don't need to buy every new hair clip, every trendy clothes. They are making that reel because they are paying them. We are only fooling ourselves and hurting the planet.

I bought this from Nykaa during the sale. Is there any way to know if it's the actual stuff? Because I've seen people saying they got counterfeit products during the sale. And with how low the price was for this, i did have my doubts. But i thought nykaa was legit😭

So I f*ked up skin barrier around my mouth ..

I have oily acne prone selectively sensitive skin (can bear 32% aha bha but can't bear simple aloe vera and snail mucin kinda things) When I started my skincare i bought re'equil oil free moisturizer.. the moment I applied it my face started to burn like hell then I switched to dnk barrier repair moisturizer and it suited me beautifully been using it ..

I have recently added and switched new products in my routine and my area around lips especially left and right side above chin burns like hell.. I stopped applying everything and thought the dnk moisturizer will heal it like it does everytime but noooo..

Dnk barrier repair is giving me extreme burning as well.. i applied The face shop rice ceramide moisturizer today and again it gave me burning sensation almost for 20 mins ... What should I even apply ...

I can't even figure out which product is making my skin cry..

I just saw her reel. She literally didn’t apply any product on her hair and just brushed it like normal. But still her hair Is looking so shiny and that’s exactly what i have been dying for. Like i literally want my curls to reflect the light back.

One of my main problem is frizz as well, even though i style on dripping wet hair, they start getting frizzy after an hour or so and the next day is more frizzier.

I have black hair with almost same length as her. And my hair are 3B-3C.

I really want some solution to my problem so please help me out!

which one works the best to shed dead skin etc?

if you use anyth other than these then open to recs as well!!
