Hi Girls, A primer is mostly overlooked but it is an integral part of your vanity. I never realised the power of a primer before using one. When Sephora was launched in Select City Walk, Saket, Delhi, I made my visit to the mall. I also visited Inglot to get a foundation. I remember getting an Inglot primer for the first time. And I realised what I was missing on. Later, I used NYX & Colorbar primers too. I feel all the primers I have used till date are quite decent. To try something new, I recently laid my hands on Lotus Ecostay Insta Perfecting Primer. Let’s talk about it in detail. About Lotus Make-Up ECOSTAY Insta Smooth Perfecting Primer This is a Mattifying & Oil-Free primer. It is meant for all skin types. The brand claims that the primer smooth-ens the fine lines, combats excess dryness, reduces the appearance of large pores and instantly prepares skin for further makeup application so that the makeup stay put for longer hours and gives a satin smooth finish. The primer also contains Vitamin E among other ingredients, which is an anti oxidant helping fight the signs of ageing and protecting skin from sun damage. The primer is 100% vegetarian. Price Rs. 675 for 30g. Buy here. Ingredients How To Use The primer can be worn alone or beneath any makeup. Take out pea size product and dot over your face blending gently. Packaging It comes in a light mauve coloured carton and a transparent tube with mauve-silver coloured screw-in cap. The transparent tube contain all the information about the product. My Skin Type I have oily, acne prone and sensitive skin with open pores on my cheeks. During winter, the pores do not show much but are quite prominent during summer. My Experience A primer is basically a silicon based formula which creates a thin layer on your skin. The silicons give a satin smooth feeling to your skin by filling into any fine lines or pores. The primer also acts as a barrier between your skin and makeup so that the chemicals in your makeup does not hurt your skin. I hope you get an idea why primers are so important before layering on your foundation. I prefer a lightweight formula which gives matte finish and does not interfere with my foundation application. Lotus Ecostay Insta Perfecting Primer is such a primer. The primer delivers everything it claims. It smooth-ens skin, minimises pore appearance while providing a base for further makeup application. My foundation goes really smoothly after wearing this primer. My face actually feel very slippery for initial minitues. Later the slippery felling goes away. My makeup definitely stays put for longer hours as compared to the time when I do not wear this primer beneath my foundation. Also the final finish comes little glowy rather than completely flat matte. Likes Oil free & mattifying primer. Minimises pore appearance. Little amount is required for application. For all skin types. Creates a smooth base for foundation and other makeup. Does not interfere with other makeup. 100% Vegetarian. Contains Vitamin E. Dislikes I feel the primer gives too much slippery feeling. It needs some time to settle down. Little pricey. Summary :❤❤❤❤ Lotus Make-Up ECOSTAY Insta Smooth Perfecting Primer comes out to be a winner. The formula is lightweight & oil free. It minimizes pore appearance giving out a smooth canvas for your foundation to go flawlessly. If I compare it with the other primers that I have used in the past, then I would say, it has comparable performance to Inglot & Colorbar primers. The upcoming summer is the right time to test this primer as that’s the time when my face becomes an oil factory. Will update you guys after few months. Take Care, XOXO

Miss Claire Mini Haul : A Glimpse

Nisha Malik — Sun, 15 Jan 2017 10:49:54 +0000

Hi Girls, At a local store yesterday, I wanted to grab a bottle of Maybelline Fit Me foundation but the SA lured me into buying some Miss Claire products. Miss Claire is quite a popular brand among bloggers since it brings out dupe for NYX products mostly. I have used some lip creams before, from Miss Claire, today got few more. The lip creams from Miss Claire are no doubt one of the best product from the brand. I was so amazed to see the wide range of the shades at the local store. Plus they are so affordable, I felt like grabbing whatever I my small eyes could see. I got 5 shades from Miss Claire Lip Cream Range – 02,13, 28, 39 & 41. Sadly the store did not have any testers, so I just picked up judging the packaging. I also got Miss Claire Born To Glow Illuminator, which comes in almost exact packaging as NYX Illuminator. I was also shocked to see that it was titled as ‘Born To Glow’ same as the NYX Born To Glow Illuminator. The illuminator also comes in many shades as the NYX illuminator. Miss Claire seems to be following NYX very closely, I guess. There were too many blushes, eye shadows, and what not at the store. I also got blue shimmer dust since blue glitter was not available. Only I know, how I pushed myself away from the blushes. I might be visiting that local store again soon. This Miss Claire Lip Balm is favourite of my sister. She was constantly looking for it around her place but was not available. Glad I found it. Though she uses the strawberry flavour, but efficacy would be the same, I am sure. I also got Lotus Ecostay Primer & Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 128. Will let you know how the primer fared on my skin since I will be using it for the very first time. Coming to skin care items, I got Himalaya Natural Glow Fairness Cream which is doing very well on my skin after horrible breakout from The Face Shop White Seed Moisture Cream. For the very first time I got Neutrogena Oil free moisturiser, which is a popular moisturiser among bloggers who have combination to oily skin tone. I have very thin eye brows, so I mostly use an eyebrow pencil to thicken them up. Cameleon eye brow pencil in brown, has a lash brush attached at the end, so eye brow can be groomed with just single product. It was under 100 bucks. Colorbar has same kind of product which is waterproof, but that costs about 650 bucks. Will try to put some swatches of the lip creams pretty soon. Hope you will like the shades I got. Want to check out my other haul posts? Lazy Saturday Ramblings Another Saturday Ramblings I really wonder why I wander on Saturdays 😀 Will let you know, as soon as I get to know. XOXO
