On seeing the rave rave reviews o maybelline liquid mousse foundation, what a shopaholic like me is supposed to do when its not available in the forest she lives?
ORDER online..OFCOURSE..EXCEPT THAT THE POOR LITTLE LADY WAS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WRONG SHADE SHE CHOSE FROM THE SWATCHES ONLINE!!

got it for 575INRs from online shopping site in the shade medium 2 pure beige which is lighter for my NC 43 skin tone..;((
Ofcourse the foundation is awesome but just doesn't suit my skin..
Am ready to sell it for 475 INR with free shipping..the foundation comes with a pump and only one pump has been used by which i found, I got the wrong shade..
Any one interested in buying or even swapping make up or skin care stuffa re most welcome to contact me or comment below..

GET LUSCIOUS LIPS:COLORBAR SOFT TOUCH LIPSTICK e-rose REVIEW AND LIP SWATCH!

2012-07-16T00:21:00.002-07:00

hEY;-)))))

Confession time:

Since, i was born with xx in my chromosome, window shopping had always been my favorite pass time which eventually turns into 'gateway shopping', if you know what I mean..

And this is how i exactly saw this beauty in the colorbar counter..

I'm essentially a crazy lover of pink lippies and have a whole lot of them but unfortunately, not every pink lipstick compliments my skin tone, be it NYX tea rose or mMac Fanfare

Since i was not really in a mood for buying. i was just trying to swatch every possible lipstick in every cosmetic counter of Pantaloons...

My thoughts on the lipstick:

colorbar soft touch lipstick in e-rose is a beautiful creamy pink with slight purple undertones and microscopic golden glitters and it would definitely complement every single skintone possible on earth..I bet yeah..

Also, they claim to be rich in Vit A,E, Apricot oil and also claim to have anti ageing properties..The creamiest lipstick i had ever used in a drugstore brand would be maybelline's colorsensational lipstick but this is DEFINITELY MORE CREAMIER...Also, it has a lovely fragrance which i was not able to identify and it was very mild indeed..

Pros:

lovely colour and 29 more shades to choose from!
Stays for a decent 4 hours (better than my maybelline colorsensational range)
Definitely very creamy and highly moisturizing which is more apt for winters
would suit most skin tones
Easy availability..
The micro golden glits gives an illusion of (may be i feel)fuller lips
Good pigmentation
Classy packaging

Cons:

The staying power could be worked on

Overall verdict:8/10

Would i buy it again: Definitely in other shades

Recommendation: i would definitely say that for the price, these are the best creamy lipsticks available in the market with decent staying power and would look good on almost all complexions..

take a look at the swatch, even though it looks much better in reality..

Overall verdict: Such a fun colour with purple tiny shimmers of purple which will just attract you in any lighting or weather and the best part is , its water proof and even rubbing DONOT DISPLACE THE SHIMMERS!
So, go grab this beauty and ad this lovely gem to your collection and you'll definitely not regret!

lakme eye shadow quartet in peacock review!

2012-03-04T05:25:00.000-08:00

i fell in love with this quartet , the very moment i heard the name: peacock!
it has the same colours as in a peacock feather..paecock blue, shimmery green, burgundy and a bronzy gold shadow..and they give a pearly finish.
i personally love them as eyeliners, esp the blue and green..
YEP..I MIX IT WITH LIP GLOSS AND APPLY AS EYE LINERS WITH EYELINER BRUSH AND BELIEVE ME, IT JUST LOOKS AWESOME..
just see how it has all the colors of a peacock feather..love love love;)

What lakme sez: Versatile quartets of vivid, high intensity powders put together to color, shape and highlight your eyes like never before.
Quantity: 7g
Price: Rs.425

pros:
1. colors are awesome, bright and lovely!
2.good pay off
3. stays for a good 3 hours without a primer and 5 hours with a primer
4.can be used as eyeliners;)

4.economic;)

cons:
1.it falls off a bit
2.cannot b used as eyeshadows on formal occasions but sure can be used as eye liners;)
3.incomplete, i mean u cannot achieve one look within the quartet.
4.the brush is too short.hmph..

Its certainly buyable if u r into bright colours and bright eye make up and its a must if u wear kancheevaram sarees a lot as a lot of kancheevaram sarees has these shades!!
i wud rate it 7/10

FACES CREME MATTE LIP GLOSS IN( sob;(((..sob...) DUSKY BEIGE: review..

2011-09-26T04:26:00.000-07:00

hey guys!!!!
Hope u r all enjoying ur day...err..am sorry, how can sum one enjoy mondays;p..fine some might;p
today am reviewing a product, the only product i have from faces canada, till date that i loathe..
without blabbering,lets move on to the review!

Price: : 399 INR

my view on the product:
I bought this thinyg from fashion and you and this is the worst choice i had ever made ;p
not that the product is bad, but the color is not just right on me...All the qualities, package etc etc are just pakka just like any other faces product..so if u like the color, go buy it..
I dint find a swatch, so just ordered the color blindly on F n U...

Pros:

matte matte matte
long stay 5-6 hours
despite being matte,it doesnt dry your lips
pretty doe foot applicator
highly pigmented
non transferrable..;)))a hi 5 for it;))

cons

gloss lovers will not love it
i doesn't suit me(he he he e..i know its unfair to put it here, but just for the zest of it, i did ;p)

Overall verdict:

i dunno but i dont like it..its the same color that is between my lips and my face ,when its red!!..doesnt lok good on me..so if u r a dusky skinned beauty, don't buy it..fair and reallllllllllly fair gals, this shade is ur cup of cake..but i just cant wait to lay my hands on the other colors

I would rate it a 9/10 as a product but a 2/10 on me;(((((((((((((((((((
(but what will the poor thing do..its my bad selection;(()

The best budget compact - Revlon Touch and Glow Moisturising compact!

2011-09-22T02:42:00.000-07:00

Hey gals..
Hope u r all doing great...
Just like i promised ,here i'm with the review on the best compact i had ever used...Revlon Touch and Glow Moisturising compact!

Cost: 390 INR

What the Company sez:

A moisturising face powder that smoothens, silkens, evens out your skin tone.use on bare skin or over make up for a natural finish that lasts..stay color true, even on oily skin.

Key ingredients : talc, fragrance and titanium dioxide

Shades available: Natural Matte, Ivory Matte, Golden Matte and Rose Matte

My take on the product:

i'm not a foundation gal and i use it on top of my sunscreen and lacto calamine, and believe me gals, it gives ample coverage on its own..And on top of a foundation( i use lakme 9 to 5) , it kinda makes you look flawless...and the best part of this compact is the fact that, it will never ever make u look chalky or dry your skin or make u look unnatural how many times ever you layer it;provided you get the ideal shade and i think thats what moisturising mean in "moisturising compact"..i have ivory matte and i'm so so happy with it...and it stays for 3-4 hours on my combination skin and all i have to do is just touch up on the t zone..

Pros:

moisturizing
do not chalk
stays for 4-5 hours
good puff and mirror with it
natural look
great coverage even when used on bare skin
photographs well
lives upto all its claims

Cons:

no spf
a bit pricey
bad packaging(not sturdy)
transfers when u start sweating;p

Overall verdict:
THIS IS A DEFINITE WORTHY BUY IF U FIND UR SHADE..TAKE MY WORD,ATLEAST 70% OF U'LL THANK ME LATER!!!

I'd rate it a 9/10( -1 for bad unsturdy packaging and no spf)

Take care gals..

Love you all!

The compact competition...And the winner is.......

2011-09-15T00:29:00.000-07:00
