Sooo Lakme is out yet again with quite a few more additions both to its skincare range as well as its makeup. Way to go Lakme!! Kitna quick quick aa raha sab! (not complaining at all.. just that am broke) so anyway I went to my nearest counter to check the stuff out and found the new Absolute Skin Gloss range. Instantly loved the skin gloss serum and especially overnight mask whose concept is quite unique here in India and I promptly pounced. Let’s start with the review.

My Review:
The new lakme skin gloss range has an amazing color theme with an icy shiny blue accent and screw cap and a glossy black body. Totallly bowled over! The tub though, is the standard cute squat lakme tub in which all their cremes/night cremes come in. Bulky so not a pleasure to carry inspite of being secure enough.
The texture of the mask is amazing, cooling, light, translucent white gel which instantly calms and cools down my skin and plumps up my skin with a burst of moisture which is totally non-sticky or greasy.

My skin drinks it up as if by magic when first applied and immediately feels calm and rested which is awesome in this cruel climate. It definitely is correct in its claim of hydration and plumping up of the skin to give a lustrous healthy look but my skin being extremely mean suddenly started producing filters and buckets of oil and my face started swimming in it so after using this lovely mask for a couple of weeks I sighed and stowed it away for future. Dry skinned ladies will luuurrvvv it!
The smell is umm..not nice..kinda smells like my cousin bro’s axe deo or my dad’s aftershave. Not a very good move Lakme!

Do I recommend? Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask is for ladies with dull, parched skin. Lakme does answer your prayers what with impressive ingredients like mineral laden glacial water and etc and yeah it does manage to deliver quite well. It plumps up skin, is very soothing and cool, non-oily as well so it will rock the worlds of those targeted ladies am so sure. I did pick up the serum as well in case you are wondering and yesshh review will be up supeerr soon!
