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 was swatching them on some customer. I actually admired the intensity of the eyeliner & (copied) packaging of the lip gloss.
ADS Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Its Jet Black with glossy finish. I really liked its finish when it was swatched on some one’s hand by the store lady. I even handed my hand to her and asked for a swatch. I bought it, and the pigment was so intense that it was there on my hand until I vigorously rubbed it with makeup remover. It might replace my when-in-hurry eyeliner Incolor Dynamic Eye Liner. Got it for 100 bucks. This liner has been reviewed here.
Kiss Beauty Lip Gloss
It is a look alike of L’Oreal Paris Shine Caresse Lip Glosses. I mean at first sight, I really thought it was from L’Oreal until I took a close look at it’s neck. There were just so many shades, dupe for almost every shade no of L’Oreal’ lip glosses. The intensity of the color is quite nice, but is highly drying when put on lips. Got it only for 100 bucks.
Blue Heaven Eye Brow Pencil
Its just for 10 bucks. I used to use Lakme’s eye brow pencil when I first got my hands on makeup. This pencil reminds me of those careless days.
I am not brand conscious. I buy what appeals to my eyes or ears.
How did you like these cheap thrills?
Stay High, Stay Fab.
