I am not much of a blush person, I hardly wear one because I hardly need one. I am not being narcissist. All I mean is since I have acne spots & hyper pigmentation, my cheeks are generally flushed. Still, I like to carry one sometimes when I really am in the mode of some real color, or my face looks flat due to foundation (Lakme Absolute is one such foundation). If I remember correctly my first blush was from Maybelline. It used to come in a black case with see through lid and a scratchy brush to apply the blush. I used to use my fingers to apply the blush though.…

Makeup Revolution London Redemption Palette Essential Day To Night : Review & Swatches
I was little bored with Maybelline Blushed Palette. So when I had a glimpse of this palette in a store two weeks back, I really got desperate to get it. I tried the palette the same day I got it. I have this habit of trying out makeup products/clothes as soon as I get home. Price: You can get it between 800-1050 bucks depending upon the kind of store you visiting. You will get 12 eye shadows. Total weight of the product is 14gm. I think its quite a catch. Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Magnasium Stearate, Paraffinum Liquidum, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polybutene, Dimethicone, Methylparabene, Propylparabene. Availability: Available on most of the online…

Cheap Thrills – The Localites
Sometimes, I go to a departmental store just to fetch some chocolates/ cookies and come back with makeup. There are so many local brands, which we don’t consider buying because they look flimsy or are suspected to be of no value. I mostly come across many local brands like Color 18, Ellewin , Kiss Beauty, ADS , 7 heavens etc. I have tried few chubby lipsticks from Ellewin and they turned out really well. Blue Heaven is another brand which has emerged into a reliable brand now. ADS also has grabbed local markets by quite a percentage. I actually got interested into these dirt cheap products since, the store lady…

Sara Cosmetics De Tan Scrub : Review
Hello beauties. Do you ever checkout what products are being used, when you visit a salon? I have this weird habit of asking the salon professionals about what are they going to put on my skin/hair/body. Some get really offended. I got a De-Tan facial last year, at the local Galaxy Salon, Dwarka sector 7. I quite liked the result of the facial. It even suited my acne prone skin. I knew what was used. The products were from Sara Cosmetics, the professional range. I specifically liked the scrub used during my facial. So I ordered it straight away. Sara Cosmetic Professional range is used in salons. This scrub is known…

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation 310 : Review & Swatches
I get to know about a new foundation launch, & I smirk (I am gonna get you girl!!!). I start googling about the offered shades, the texture, the longevity claims etc. If I like what I read, I plan my next visit to a store to swatch the foundation myself. Most of the times, the foundation ends up going home with me. (wink) I got Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, even before it was launched in India. The worst happened, I ended up with a wrong shade. It was wrong shade, but I was very impressed with the texture and coverage. When, finally, it was launched in India, I headed to…

Colorbar Starry Eye Mascara 01 Starry Blue : Review
Hello. How are you all doing? Coloured Masacara anyone? I always have been a fan of coloured mascaras as they are so playful. They add color to eyes with minimal efforts. You don’t need an eyeshadow palette or an eye shadow brush and your eyes will still attract all the attention. It’s shame that we don’t have much choices in India for coloured mascara. I have tried MUA Coloured mascaras in pink, blue & green colors in past. I was not impressed with the quality and consistency. So when Colorbar launched coloured mascaras I jumped right into grab few shades. Colorbar launched coloured mascara in 3 shades, so you can choose which…

Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals Derma Cleanse : Review
I always prefer creamy cleansers than foamy face washes. I don’t like the soapy film that most of the face washes leave behind even after washing thoroughly. Especially at night, I always use a cleanser to take the day off from my face. My current favourite cleansers are Cetaphil & Cheryl’s Derma Cleanse. Most of the times, I go for Derma Cleanse because it’s specially formulated for acne prone skin. Cheryl’s Derma Cleanse, is specially formulated with cinnamon & biosulphur. Cinnamon provides antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and microdermabrasion benefits. Biosulphur contains sulphur which heals acne naturally. It is formulated for oily & acne prone skin. Price: Rs. 750 for 180ml. Ingredients:…

Cheap Thrills – Nude Lipsticks
I think, lipstick is the very first makeup item that a girl tries on herself, like I did, like all of us did, and then, “a very serious, life time long and unspoken love affair starts.” Lipstick shades are bought just on the go, no second thoughts are given if a shade is pretty enough. Hi girls, our lipstick love is a never ending saga, so today I am only going to talk about my nude lipsticks which are under 300 bucks i.e. budget buys a.k.a. Cheap Thrills. Nudes are must haves for a girl who is even little into makeup, whether it’s for her lips or eyes. If you…
