L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh 24H Foundation – 140 Golden Beige : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 08:06:12 +0000

BB & CC Creams are my everyday’s staple but when it comes to special events no doubt I need a matte, transfer resistant, sweat proof, shine-proof & with build-able coverage foundation. I loved using L’Oreal Tue Match, few years back, and hence I picked up L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh 24H foundation 140 Golden Beige without hesitation. Today while looking for something, I stumbled upon this foundation and realized I have not reviewed it on the blog. So here I am presenting my views on this foundation. L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh 24H Foundation 140 Golden Beige Price Rs. 1400 for 30ml. Buy here at discounted price. Ingredients Packaging It comes in a transparent glass bottle with a pump fitted at the top. The pump is covered with a red cap to avoid accidental pumping. The shade name & number are printed on the cap as well as at the bottle. Ingredient list can be found ta the back of the bottle by peeling the label. The packaging is leak proof as I have traveled many times with this foundation in my luggage. And never experienced any leakage. L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh 24H Foundation – Shades Infallible foundation is introduced in many shades covering the pales to the dusky beauties. All the shades are provided below: 120 Vanilla, 125 Natural Rose, 140 Rose Beige, 150 Radiant Beige, 200 Golden Sand, 220 Sand, 235 Honey, 250 Radiant Sand, 300 Amber, 320 Caramel toffee L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh 24H Foundation 140 Golden Beige I got this foundation online. I literally went through every single review and swatch for this particular foundation to find my shade. I know I should have visited a physical store to get my shade matched, but I was really occupied by then and I had an event coming up. So I decided to buy this online. Golden Beige is a universal shade for me in terms of bases. The are the closest. Hence I decided to go with this shade. UPDATE: I also got L’Oreal Infallible Stay Fresh 24H Foundation Radiant Beige 150 as it is closest to Golden Beige 140 and matches my skin tone more. The shade has yellow tint to match my undertones, but somehow, I find the finish is more of grey-pink. Which kind of put me off. It’s nothing major, but it is not a perfect match for my wheatish skin tone. After blending a bit of pinkish hue can be seen. Fragrance & Texture It is a nice creamy foundation but goes matte very soon, hence one needs to be quick with the application. I would advise to moisturize skin thoroughly as it is a matte finish foundation otherwise you would not be able to blend in the foundation properly. A primer would ease the blending & perfect the finish. I mostly use my fingers to blend it, but it can be blended very well using a brush or a beauty blender. Pigmentation / Coverage The pigmentation of this foundation is very impressive. A coin sized foundation would nicely cover acne scars & even out skin very well. It gives medium to full coverage because it is buildable. Finish It sets off in matte (bit of powdery) finish. It kind of last really long since it does not transfer or smudge once set. As it has quick drying formula, I do not have to wait for my other makeup to put on. The finish is non oily & shine free for hours. Longevity As I mentioned above due to it’s texture & finish, it lasts very long on my oily skin even during summer. That’s the best feature of this foundation. A foundation should last really long so that other makeup can stay intact. It can really stand the Delhi heat & humidity. I have worn it for full days. Likes Smooth & fine texture. Gives a very natural finish while hiding imperfections. Does not transfer or smudge. Stays intact for long. A wide range of shades to choose from Does not look cakey. No whitecast. Contains SPF 18. Gives Medium coverage which is build-able. Does not break my skin. Dislikes Pricey. Golden Beige shade gives grey-pinkish hue to wheatish skin Summary : 4.75/5 L’Oreal Paris Infallible Stay Fresh 24H Foundation is no doubt a favorite of makeup junkies because of it’s smooth texture, build-able pigmentation, long lasting formula & matte finish. Also the shade range is impressive. I would grab another close shade soon. The high price can be ignored for the performance it gives. So girls, do you buy your foundation online? If you know your shade, you can go ahead with the purchase, but do you risk buying a new range without swatching it on yourself?

{New} Incolor Matte Mousse Makeup – Warm Sand : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 09:24:22 +0000

Hi, From last few years mousse foundation are summer favorite because they are lightweight & give smooth finish. Being light textured they do not suffocate skin but still gives nice performance in hot and humid conditions. We already are a fan of Maybelline Mousse foundation & Lakme 9 to 5 Mousse foundation. Today I am going to talk about a new launch from Incolor Cosmetics- Matte Mousse Makeup in Warm Sand. It is the cheapest mousse foundation that I have ever come across. Price Rs. 210 for 9g. Buy here. Ingredients Packaging The outer cartoon is of light mustard color. Incolor Cosmetics is printed on the top and on once side of the box, while ingredients list is printed on the other side of the box. Manufacturing information etc are also printed on the box itself. Inside the carton, there is a very tiny small transparent plastic tub with a light mustard colored cap on the top. Once I dropped the tub accidentally & the tub cracked. It proves that the packaging is not really sturdy. The tiny tub must be handled with care. though it travel friendly. Fragrance & Texture There is very faint cosmetic smell in the mousse foundation. I try hard to smell it and it’s just so faint that I can’t capture much of it. It’s a good thing. Texture was it is very fine & smooth foundation as you expect a mousse foundation to be. It glides on skin smoothly. This foundation does not need a heavy layer of moisture underneath. If I apply some extra moisturizer before applying it, it turns bit patchy and hard to blend. On it’s own, it blends perfectly. Shade – Warm Sand Incolor presents 5 shades in the foundation which sounds great. But when I swatched the shades at the store, I was not impressed by the shade selection. The shades are mostly orangish & dark. The very first shade 01 Nutmeg is pink toned & light but that did not go with my wheatish skin tone. I was confused between 03 Warm Sand & 04 Natural, picked up 03 but this too is bit orangish for my yellow tone. The next light shade 02, was pink toned :(. Pigmentation It is a light weight foundation, hence the pigmentation needs to be build up layer by layer. One layer does help in evening out skin tone (giving a orangish hue to my complexion). To cover up scars, I need another layer. But that just makes my face look dull & dark since it contains a lot or orange pigments. Finish It gives matte finish without any heavy or greasy feeling. The matte finish that we desire during summer. That’s the magic of a mousse foundation. Longevity Honestly I have never worn it for more than 2-3 hours, because it is not a nice match for my skin tone. I have tries mixing it with other foundation but that totally ruins it’s texture. Likes Lightweight texture. Smooth finish. Evens out skin tone. Build-able consistency. Budget friendly. Dislikes Even though there are 5 shades in the range, but wheatish skin tones might find it hard to get their match. May give patchy application if used more quantity in single application. Summary : 3.5/5 After a long time I found a dud. I know it might not sound a dud to you, but, I just do not feel like using it because it doe nothing much for me. It’s tricky to apply it. Otherwise it is a budget friendly product with light weight texture. I would say if you have not tried any mousse makeup yet, and are bit tight on budget, you can go for it, only if you can find your shade in the range. Love.

Blue Heaven Fashion Blush On Glitters : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 12:25:17 +0000

Blue Heaven Blush On Glitters is an good palette for 120 bucks. The pigmentation of the dark shades is good, while the lighter shades are not much promising. The brush won't give you desired pigmentation too, hence either use fingers or a separate blush brush. The glitters stays only for initial hour and later you are left with matte subtle color on your cheeks. The dark shades are very wearable from the palette for all complexions.

I hope SUGAR does not sue me for leaking this out 🙂 . I just got an email from SUGAR about early access to their new launch, SUGAR As Nude As It Gets SPF 15 Compact. I could not contain my excitement and thought I should let you guys know about this new product from SUGAR. I am a fan of SUGAR Cosmetics. Their products are awesome. Every single product, be it a lip color or eye liner, stands out among it’s competitors in the same range. Even I was wondering why SUGAR has not come up with face products, and here it is the very first product from the brand. I do not have any technical information about the product except the SPF factor that it states in the name. SUGAR has not started selling it yet on their website, but if you buy SUGAR products worth more than 1400 bucks, you can get one absolutely free, just right away. How cool is that? As far I know, the compact comes in 3 shades only as of now – 01 Latte – suitable for Porcelaine /Fair complexion 02 Cappuccino – suitable for Light Wheatish complexion 03 Macchiato – suitable for Wheatish to Dusky complexion Enjoy the only photographs of SUGAR As Nude As It Gets Compact, that SUGAR released… So, what I am going to do now? Just going to head on to Sugar & fill up my cart with some SUGAR Cubes,to get my hands on this compact.. 🙂 Yeah I am that crazy about new product launches. I just can’t help it. You have a beautiful day ahead…. Love.

Geri G. Innocent Foundation In Medium : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 18:31:02 +0000

Good Morning. Finally Saturday. Smell of Coziness. This is going to be a great day, I tell you. There is a lot of stuff lying around from my fab bag subscriptions. You know Fab Bag… right? FabBag.com started luxury product sampling about 2 years back in India. It is still rocking. It provides sample of luxurious brands or the brands that are not available in India otherwise. In case we like some product sample, we can order full size product from Fab Bag. Sometimes we receive full size products too as a bonus. This is a great idea to get familiar with new brands and test them out for your needs. I quite liked it. But sometimes, the products are duds. I received Geri G. Innocent Foundation in one of my Fab Bag Subscription. Let me tell you, how it fared on me. About Geri G. Innocent Foundation With Nanomarine-5 Complex Light and nourishing to the skin, Geri G.’s exclusive water based formula combines moisturizing benefits with radiant pigments that help conceal imperfections and illuminates the complexion. Weight-less and hydrating. Innocent Foundation glides on seamlessly and provide a sheer to medium coverage with a natural matte finish. For all skin types. Helps even skin tone. Innocent foundation is packed full of antioxidant, aloe vera, omega 3’s, exclusive Nanomarine-5 Complex, algae extracts help keep the skin look and feel fresh all day long. For optimal results use over Geri G. Transceutical Canvas. Price Rs. 2500 for 30ml. Ingredients Shades Only to shades of this foundation are available with Fab Bag. Light & Medium.I got this foundation in Medium. This has yellow undertones and suits my medium fair-wheatish skin. Packaging Comes in a see through plastic bottle with white pump and silver cap. The packaging is classy, sturdy & travel friendly. Texture & Smell The texture of the foundation is velvety smooth. Goes on skin very smoothly. The smell is mild and pleasant. My Views It claims to be containing antioxidants, omega 3’s & Nanomarine-5 Complex. All these ingredients are supposed to be working as anti ageing agents. So it sounds really good, but of course I can’t test this claim. It is water based, which makes it suitable for all skin types even for oily skin. Glides on skin smoothly. The shade medium goes fine with my wheatish skin tone. It does not look like I am wearing anything. Gives quite natural finish. The coverage is sheer if you apply just one layer. It just evens out skin. I have tried applying another layer. The coverage builds up little bit, but is not able to hide my acne scars. It would be perfect for someone who has clear skin. It never broke me out or irritated my skin. I did not ever find any dry patches after wearing this foundation even when I skipped wearing a moisturiser to test its moisturisation claims. It didn’t even made my skin feel oily. It has just the perfect formulation. The finish is sheer and glowy. Matte finish can be attained by applying compact or translucent powder over it. I have never worn it for an entire day, since it does not serve the purpose of a foundation to me due to the wrong shade and lack of coverage factor. I have always worn it for few hours to just test it. Except the coverage, I didn’t find any issue with this foundation. The pump disposes off a pea size of the product, enough for one application. Foundations that comes with pumps are really convenient to use. Likes Moisturising Formulation. Water based. Does not accentuate dry patches. Suitable for all skin types. Gave no breakout. Contains anti-oxidants & omega-3’s. Perfect for illuminating and sheer coverage. Layering up the foundation does not look cakey. Comes with a pump. Travel friendly packaging. Dislikes No coverage at all. Even multiple layers does not provide much coverage. Pricey. Summary : 3/5 This foundation is for those lucky people who does not need much coverage but only illuminating and moisturising benefits. It is pricey for a foundation which provide no coverage. Cannot test the anti ageing effects of the foundation.
