    Lipstick Dilemma : Maybelline Super Stay Or NYX Plush Gel Lipstick

    Arrggghh,, I am getting crazy here. I am getting so much confused between Maybelline Super Stay lipsticks and NYX Plush Gel Lipsticks. I am so wanting to buy some. Just not able to decide, which brand/shades I should go for? Why should I go for Maybelline Super Stay 24Hr Colours A lot of shades present to choose from, about 12 I guess. There is variety. All shades are so pretty. The colors could be worn in matte as well as creamy finish. They are super staying. It is cheaper than NYX newly launched lippies.

    My Budget Makeup Essentials

    It’s going to be a quick post about the makeup products I use mostly everyday. All the products are budget products, easily available. Suit my and skin tone & type.   I started wearing the Pond’s BB Cream about 3 years ago, and since then, it’s been with me. I like the natural finish it gives to my skin. Unlike Lakme’s CC cream, it does not give any white cast. Maybelline’s Super Fresh Compact is new addition to my vanity, but is really promising. Before this I used to wear Lakme 9 to 5 compact. I will review these two very soon. On good skin days, I like to wear…

    Essentials Restocked

    Since my last empties post, I have been restocking stuff that are essential for my skin care. Have a look. Night Creams – The Body Shop & L’Oreal Paris: I know you will ask why so many night creams. The Body Shop Oils of Life is my current favourite. I can’t stop using it, it’s so addictive. The Body Shop Vitamin E Night Cream is a high in moisture cream, which suits my hubby. My sister gifted me L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Laser Night Cream, since she did not like the way it stings her. While I have used it during last winters, and I didn’t feel much sting. I might…

    Coming Soon: Maybelline Baby Lips Vs Nivea Fruity Shine

    I am a product junkie, I might have a body wash, but I would still buy another and another and another. I would already own a scrub but then I would get smitten by a fancy brand. Similarly, I have got so many lip balms, some are forgotten, some just lying at the back of my dresser waiting to be re-discovered. If you are aware, I have confessed my love for pure which is colourless & odourless high at hydration multi purpose balm. But when I am in the mood of colour some time, I reach for the forgotten ones. These are the two mostly used lip balms after Karite Buerre’s Pure…
