I attended a friend’s engagement today and felt like getting decked up a bit, so did some makeup and went with golden eyes.
I wore this pretty orange and pink lace anarkali with golden borders, it’s one of my favourites. So I went with golden and orange tones overall.
For the base, I used the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation, trying this out currently. Review coming up soon.
I received this pretty eyeshadow quad from May Fab Bag (Review coming next) called Be a Bombshell in Madrid which is the perfect blend of gold,bronze and orange, so I used only this.
I used the beige shade all over my eyes till the lid, the golden shade on the lids and the dark brown on the outer half and crease. For the lower lids, I went with the orangey shade in the inner half and the dark brown on the outer half.
Lined my eyes with the Maybelline Colossal Liner and used the Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara. For the waterline, I used the L’Oreal Paris Sapphire Blue Gel Liner which looks almost black.
And on lips, I used the Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipstick in REB04.
I skipped any blush or highlighter since the face was bright enough. I don’t generally use powders overall as I like dewy finish. But for T-zone, it becomes important as I have combination skin.
I had to rush and did not have much time to find products and hence, finished this quickly with whatever products handy 🙂
I hope you liked the look. It is quite simple and basic, do let me know in the comments below 🙂
L’Oreal Paris Cannes Collection Glamorous Gloss,Marvellous Matte Look
Hey guys,
If you have been following me on my twitter or Instagram, you know I had attended the L’Oreal Paris Cannes Press Con Red Carpet where 6 winners each from Team Glamorous Gloss (headed by Katrina Kaif) and Team Marvellous Matte (headed by Sonam Kapoor) walked the red carpet with their respective team heads i.e. Sonam and Katrina.
Bloggers were also invited for a photo shoot with the stars and divided into Team Gloss and Team Matte. I was in Team Gloss.
I was in Team Gloss, so I went with super glossy lips of course and L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire helped me achieve that look. Its a super glossy liquid lipstick. There are also three shades of gel liners in the Cannes Collection- L’Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza 36H in Diamond Black,Royal Blue and Sapphire Blue. Royal Blue is a gorgeous deep blue, I would have loved to try that. I got the Sapphire Blue shade which is a deep bluish black..looks more black on the eyes. But the texture and quality of these gel liners are beyond amazing. They come with a brush and I got a smooth flick with just one dip of the brush! Beat that! It is super pigmented and goes smoothly all at once. I loved their previous basic black and brown 24H gel liners too (Check the review of the Brown one HERE)
The Cannes collection includes all the existing L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipsticks and some they have launched in a new revamped Swarovski studded packaging..looks so pretty! The real Swarovski crystals on the top and bottom of the cap and then it comes with a velvet cover to protect those crystals.
LE Cannes Collection Swarovski Studded Moist Mat
I got the shade Raspberry Syrup and Arabian Nights in this new packaging and the shade Spring Rosette in the old packaging.
I showed you guys the outfit I wore to the red carpet in my previous OOTD HERE. Let’s take a closer look at the glossy makeup.
Glamorous Gloss LookGlamorous Gloss Look
I used the L’Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza in Sapphire Blue on my upper and lower lash line..winged it a bit on the top. And for the lips, I went with L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Raspberry Syrup as the base and the L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire in Rose Symphony on top.
Products I used for the Glamorous Gloss Look
I did not get a chance to click pics with Sonam or Katrina as they arrived late and my back had started paining by then, so I had to leave sooner.
Marvellous Matte Look
I also tried a matte look the other day..went with Sapphire Blue gel liner again but only on the lower lash line, on upper lashline normal black liner with a slight wing and the L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Spring Rosette. I am so in love with this shade, my current staple and always in my bag!
Which look did you like more? Are you Team Gloss or Team Matte? Any personal favourite from the L’Oreal Paris Cannes collection? Something you want me to review first? Let me know everything in the comments below 😀
Maybelline The Colossal Liner Black Review,Swatches
What the Company claims: Enjoy eye catching intensity and flawless precision with the Maybelline New York Colossal Liner.
Designed to end all your application woes, the Maybelline New york Colossal liner features a 0.4 mm flexi tip applicator that gives you perfect error free lines. Empowered with the ink pigment technology, this colossal eye liner imparts smudge proof, fade- proof, intense color to your eyes. Its quick dry formula ensures a 12 hour staying power and quick application. Add this kajal to your vanity kit and enjoy stunningly beautiful eyes everyday.
Here’s why you’ll love it:
Has the intensity of a kajal and defines like a liner
Customized Flexi Tip applicator ensures mistake-proof application
Smudge-free liner has an intense black finish
Lasts for up to 12 hours
Price: Rs. 425 for 1.2g (Bought it from Nykaa)
I am a big big fan of Maybelline HyperSharp Liner..you can see HERE. It is my go to liner and I use it everytime, so when Maybelline launched the New Colossal Liner, I was eager to try it out.
I am a thin eyeliner person, I usually go for kajal and when I line my eyes, its a thin line just for definition, rarely I go for a thick liner. So HyperSharp was kind of perfect for me since it is 0.05mm tip whereas this one has a 0.4mm tip. Many did not like HyperSharp as they prefer thick liner and had to go over again and again with HyperSharp, Colossal is your answer ladies. But with HyperSharp, I too had to go over atleast 2 times on the line.
It comes in a pen form with a cap, a thin, flexible tip which goes on easy and smooth on the eyes. In terms of intensity, it is a rich black. I believe a little more pigmented and rich than HyperSharp too.
It dries quickly and gives a nice wing and perfect definition for everyday. I need not go over 2-3 times with this as I had to with HyperSharp.
Comparison of Maybelline HyperSharp Liner and Maybelline The Colossal Liner
Both are prices at Rs.425 but Colossal liner offers 1.2g whereas HyperSharp had 0.5g
HyperSharp is thinner with a 0.05mm tip and The Colossal has a 0.4mm tip
The Colossal Liner is a bit more pigmented than HyperSharp
I like both of them, HyperSharp was a favourite untill now, but if I have to choose one, I will go with Colossal coz I think the pigmentation and intensity is better and also lining eyes is a little quicker with it. Price wise, Colossal Liner comes with more than double the quantity so it would last longer too.
It stays on for 7-8 hours with minimal smudging,but it is not waterproof. Comes off easily with water. Can be carried along anywhere and everywhere.
My new current favourite..absolutely recommend this! I hope they come up with many different shades in a similar pen format and tip with equally amazing pigmentation.
Its been a long time I did a proper review..so here is one with The ONE.
What the Company claims: Oriflame The ONE Eyeliner Stylo has a soft felt tip which delivers a smooth, precise line without dragging or stopping. It is suitable for contact lens wearers, and is Ophthalmologically tested. The intense pigments deliver rich colour intensity and have been given a positive response of 99% when consumer tested on 67 women. Also it lasts upto 24 hours.
MRP: Rs.499/- for 0.8ml
The ONE Eyeliner Stylo comes in a sleek pen packaging with a long,stiff tip that is just perfect to draw a smooth line.
These swatches are just one swipe and I absolutely loved the pigmentation. I like a few liners which are nice and thin tip but the formulation is such that you have to go over the liner 2-3 times to get a decently pigmented line since they are thin/water based. Pigmentation wise, it gets a big thumbs up.
It comes in 2 shades, Blue and Black. While the black is more pigmented, I would definitely love to see more shades introduced in this like jewel green,purple,brown,etc.
It stays for around 6-7 hours with minimal fading later and comes off with a normal makeup remover. Does not smudge or smear.
It is slightly on the expensive side but mostly on offers, so look out for them and grab them when at a good discount.
I would have preferred a thinner tip coz I like very thin, subtle liner on me. Though its perfect for my winged liner days. But if you love thick liners or are a winged liner person, this will ease your life!
Only issue is available through Oriflame reps only.
Overall, I am quite impressed with the pigmentation and quality, would love more colors and maybe a thinner tip.

Step Out In Style with the All New Pantene Pro-Vitamin Oil
Get the 24 – hour nourishment of the
non-sticky hair oil inspite of staying outdoors!
v The new Pantene Pro-Vitamin Hair Oil instilled
with an almond oil formula which gives your hair 24-hour nourishment
v Its non-sticky nourishing quality infuses the hair with strength and prevents hair fall
Gone are the days when one would refrain from stepping out of the house with the fright of embarrassment caused by oily hair. Pantene, for the first, launches a Pro-Vitamin Hair Oil instilled with an almond oil formula which gives your hair 24-hour nourishment, infusing it with strength and thereby, preventing hair fall. More importantly, its an amalgamation of completely non-sticky and nourishing qualities, making it an ideal oil meant for outdoors – almost like a fashion accessory, you’d love to flaunt without any embarrassment! Apart from the wide gamut of benefits it lends your hair with, the oil is a perfect accomplice for styling, strengthening, nourishing and reaping the benefits of the advanced Pro-V almond oil formula all at the same time.
“Pantene’s Pro-V Hair Oil is not just any ordinary oil that you apply, but one that enhances your look and ups your fashion quotient; Oil that you can step out with because it’s stickiness is barely noticeable,” says face of Pantene, Shilpa Shetty.
The key behind the efficacy of all Pantene products lies in Pro-Vitamin B5, otherwise known as Panthenol, which has remarkable qualities to improve and maintain healthy hair, its strength and elasticity. Studies have revealed that Pro-Vitamins penetrate deep into the cortex of each hair strand. The two ingredients that make-up Pantene’s Pro-Vitamin complex – Panthenol and Panthenyl Ethyl Ether – are carefully coupled in the formulation to restore health and shine from within.
Explains Pantene Hair Expert Coleen Khan, “I personally am of the opinion that oiling is extremely beneficial for your hair but I have seen many girls refrain from oiling due to the stickiness. Almond oil in particular has exceptional benefits! Being a rich source of magnesium it works wonders in preventing hair fall. What’s more, Pantene’s Pro-V oil promises to nourish your hair and prevent the stickiness altogether!”
We had to buy skincare and makeup products which we use on an everyday basis i.e our ‘daily’ ‘face’ stuff within the budget of Rs.5000/-
And since we had to buy only from Jabong and from the brands available on the site, it added up to the challenge 🙂
This is the perfect kit for you, if you are in college and surviving on pocket money and don’t have big bucks to spend on luxury products. Spending big bucks is not even required actually, you can create a nice kit for yourself within this budget.
For brides to be, this also makes a part of my Bridal Diaries. If you are someone who was never into skincare and makeup, then this kit would work for you too. Or if you want to buy stuff for your trousseau within the budget of Rs.5000/-
I have linked products to their reviews which I have already reviewed on my blog before or have given my 2 cents here on products I have used, but not reviewed yet.
So here we go..
1. Ponds White beauty Naturals Spot Less lightening Cream- Rs199 for 50g
Reason: Super light in texture with no greasiness. Has camellia (Green Tea) leaf extract, niacinmide and tocopheryl acetate which help in fading spots and regeneration of skin cells. Added bonus: SPF (titanium dioxide aluminum hydroxide stearic acid). This can be your perfect affordable daily moisturizer.
2. VICHY Normaderm 3-In-1 Cleanser – Rs.450/- for 50ml
Reason: A unique combination of Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid and 25% Clay with a soothing agent. Use it as a cleanser/face wash or a scrub or apply a thin layer as a mask. The blend of salicylic acid and clay is perfect for oily skin and prevents from breakouts. Glycolic acid helps in mild exfoliation. I won’t recommend it using everyday. For everyday use, a mild cleanser like the Auravedic Saffron Almond one we selected, is good. But its perfect to use for a weekly scrub/face pack. It dries quickly too, not taking too much of your time. If you use it weekly, its going to last long and turns economical for its multiple uses.
4. L’Oreal Paris Uv Perfect Aqua Essence Sunscreen Moisturiser- Rs.475/- fro 30ml (Review HERE)
Reason: A Sunscreen with good SPF protection is a must. Whether you are in your teens or in your 30’s, you need to protect your skin from the sun’s rays. L’Oreal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence has SPF 30 PA+++ UVB UVA protection with a PPD of 15.5. It also has Advanced Mexoryl XL Filters (only found in L’Oreal Paris sunscreens- this and Vichy Capital Soleil which is on the expensive side) that protect against broad spectrum UVA/UVB rays, Adenosine that repairs deep skin damage and fights wrinkles, and Vitamin E that helps fight against free radicals and external stress. It also hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Best part: It somewhat protects skin from tanning too.
5. Forest Essentials Facial Tonic Pure Rose Water Facial Mist- Rs.575 for 100ml
Reason: Natural toner. 100% Steam Distilled Rose Water. Alcohol based toners rip the moisture from the skin. One should go for alcohol free toners as much as possible. It cools, soothes and moisturizes the skin. You can also carry it along in your bag. (You need one in the Mumbai heat especially in summers!)
6.Biotique Bio Almond Oil Soothing Face Eye Make Up Cleanser – Rs.149 for 120 Ml
Reason: It’s a blend of almond, castor, sunflower and few other oils. Oils are always the best makeup remover one can use. It melts off toughest of your waterproof mascara. No stinging or burning. One of the pretty decent and affordable makeup removers in the market.
Reason: One of the deepest and most pigmented rich black kajals in India right now. It stays whole day and hardly smudges. I recommend this to everyone all the time. Does’nt even hurt the pocket at 175. Best budget buy for college girls too. I guess most of us love our kajal and lip balms and swear by it everyday whether you in college or working. This is definitely a must have!
Reason: Who has the time and patience to apply falsies and remove them everyday ?! But we still want those fluttery, long lashes right ? Well, look no further. Maybelline Falsies Mascara is the answer. With 2 coats of this, you get a false lash effect! I mean it. Do try it for yourself. And at 425 if you get killer long lashes, it does not hurt, right ? :p
Reason : No reasons are enough for this baby. Its my favourite liner ever. Pigmented. Stays long. Perfect stiff tip. And the hypersharp tip gives the thinnest most defined lines to more thicker wings. It also does not dry up quickly and works as good as new for a long long time.
10. Maybelline Color Sensational Mirrored Mauve High Shine Lip Gloss- Rs.350 for 5ml (Review HERE and HERE)
Reason: Pigmented, High shine, Affordable, Good qty, Non Shimmery, Prettiest Nude Mauve shade ever. This is bang on for your everyday wear whether for work or a day out with your girlfriends.
Reason: If you have to include one affordable blush in your kit, it has to be Maybelline Cheeky Glow. Its matte, smooth, pigmented and long staying. 7g of quantity would last for a long time. Fresh Coral is a warm coral pink and gives that ‘just out of the gym’ healthy pink flush. One of the best budget blushes in India.
12. Street Wear Color Rich Perfection Compact Powder- Rs.160 for 7g
Reason: Cute packaging again. Provides medium coverage and controls oil and shine. Thoughtful hygienic packaging, the separator in between prevents the foam applicator from getting dirty. No more expectations at this price and quantity. Again a perfect budget everyday compact.
13. Street Wear Color Rich 11-Pink Passion Lipstick- Rs.180 for 4.2g
Reason : Street Wear has nailed it with this latest Color Rich Range and these Ultra Moist lipsticks are the best in the collection. Cute packaging. Semi matte texture, Long staying power, Economical price and quantity. A perfect bright pink shade to perk up your evenings or weekends. Psstt: It’s a dupe of MAC Flat Out Fabulous 😀 I am sure you want this in your kit! Plus it won’t pinch your pocket.
14. Ponds White Beauty Blemish Balm Cream- Rs.125/- for 18G
Reason: A BB Cream that also acts as a moisturizer and sunscreen and gives amazing coverage! Gimme! I use it everyday. Its one of my favourite BB creams out of the lot in the market right now. It has Vitamin B3, Vitamin E and Allantoin which helps against pigmentation and heals the old scars/spots faster. Has SPF30PA++. The shade suits me perfectly and the coverage is medium, more than any other BB creams. Stays put the whole day. The silicones in it make it work as an eye shadow primer too!! Beat that. And all for this price is fantastic.
15. & 16. Auravedic Revitalizing Face Care- Rs.325 for a combo of 2 products (Pulpy Saffron Almond Face wash and Pure Aloe Vera Gel) (Review HERE and HERE)
Reason: Both the products separately cost you a little more, so buying a combo means savings 😉 The Radiance by Nature is one of the best face washes I have personally tried and recommend. Its made up of natural ingredients and a blend of essential oils. No SLS or parabens. Chemical and color free. Cleanses skin well leaving no dryness or stretchiness. There is a neem and tea tree variant for oily skin and a rose and saffron variant for dry skin. And 50g lasts really long. Total value for money.
Pure Aloe Vera Gel is packed with green tea and pomegranate extracts and a blend of essential oils again like lemon, avocado, grapeseed, olive. Its super cooling and gel like in texture. Smells amazing. Keep it in the fridge in the summers and apply it whenever your skin feels dehydrated or thirsty. I am sure you will love this refreshing cold aloe gel in the harsh summers. No preservatives and chemicals. Also recommended to be used as a hair styling/shaving gel. I personally use it post waxing/threading coz it instantly soothes and reduces the redness on the skin. Quite a multi tasker this is!
17. Auravedic Almond & Grapeseed Night Repair Cream- Rs.350 for 100g
Reason: Skin cells are the most active and repair itself during the night time. The whole regeneration of new skin cells takes place during night. A rich, heavy night cream with some essential nutrients is a must have. It nourishes your skin inside out and also helps delay signs of ageing. This rich night cream has almond butter, grapefruit oil and few other essential oils. Auravedic has no SLS,parabens or chemicals. And you need just a tiny bit, so 100g would last you really long. But investing in a good night cream is a must. It is as important as a sunscreen.
18. Star’s Cosmetics Bronze-2 Pressed Eye Shadow Rs.195/- for 1.66G
Reason: Even if you are not a daily eyeshadow person, you need one bronze/gold shadow in your kit. Indian weddings are when you will need it the most. Or just smoke it out with a black kohl base for a night out. Instant glam!
Overall View: I think it was an interesting challenge. I included everything necessary from skin care to makeup used in day to day life. (and covering weekends/occasions too) A total of 18 products,and also saved on some bucks (Though 27 :D)
Skin care: Face wash, Toner ( Facial Mist), Moisturizer, Sunscreen, Lip Balm, Makeup Remover, Night Cream, 3 in 1 (Cleanser, Scrub, Mask) for your weekly pampering, Pure Aloe Vera Gel for shaving/post waxing,etc.
I have not included nail paints, shower gel,shampoo, conditioner, hair serum/oils coz it was ‘daily face’. You need to add those too which will be another 750 bucks approximately.
I hope you liked my kit. If you did, I would love for you to vote for me HERE. Just click on the heart under my name ‘Bhumika Thakkar’ and it will turn red 🙂 Or you can tweet to @elleindia with the hashtag #EBA2014. Thanks in advance.

Lakme Absolute Gel Addict Liner Vine Yard Review, Swatches
What the Company claims: Soft gel texture, easy to a apply with a small brush attached with cap.
KEY FEATURES:
Professional finish gel liner
Very intense, vibrant color
Smudge proof and water proof
Long lasting formula
Recommended by Lakmé’s makeup experts
MRP: Rs.800/- for 2.3g
Shades Available:
Must Have (Black)
Deep Sea
Tempting Teal
Metallic Bronze
Grey Ash
White Delight
Vine Yard
Lakme Absolute Gel Addict Liners are a new launch in the Lakme Absolute range and were a part of the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014 Collection designed by the bridal team of Cory Walia and Manish Malhotra.
Available in 7 shades, they come in a small cute tub form with an extended handle and a brush within the handle. No need to carry a separate brush now. (or worry about loosing it/misplacing which happens most of the time :p)
Texture wise, its more like a mousse. Very very creamy and super light. It will get digged in with just a single dip of the brush. It goes on smooth too. Very long lasting and smudge proof, even the swatch on my hand did not budge. You will need a good makeup remover to remove this completely.
It stays on for a good 7-8 hours, and then starts fading in bits, but does not go away completely.
My only issue was the shade. This particular shade Vine Yard needed layering. I have to go over it 2-3 times for the eyeliner to show up, on my eyes, as it waters down a little, when applied on the eyes.
I have seen the swatches of all the shades and that’s not the case with all the shades. Most of them are pretty pigmented and bright and show up on the eyes in one swipe. I think its only Vine Yard and probably Grey Ash that needs layering.
The shade Vine Yard looks more purple in the tub, but it comes up as a bluish purple with gold shimmer.
Must Have (Black), Bronze, Teal and Deep Sea are the most pigmented. I loved the bronze, it looks gorgeous. Definitely trying that next.
Its slightly over priced too, like all other products in the Lakme Absolute range. I feel it could have been priced at around Rs.600-650/- max.
Overall, its super creamy in texture,easy to use and long staying. Other shades in this range are super pigmented too. Recommended.

Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Gel Liner Review, Swatches What the Company claims: Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Gel Eyeliner gives the precision line of liquid eyeliner for professional and smudge-free results. The smooth texture of the gel eye liner delivers rich color and even coverage and ensures long-lasting luring eyes for up to 24 hours. It comes with a slanted brush applicator that gives smooth and flawless effects.
MRP: Rs.449/- for 3g It comes in a small glass pot and a small slanted brush alongwith.. Its rich and deep..and matte black..good pigmentation..can be easily layered..I quite like it for tighlining..gives precise definition..
Texture wise, it is quite soft but not that smooth..I like the fact that the small brush can be used for travel and no need to carry a separate brush..but for regular use,I wish it came with a longer brush too,as holding that small brush and lining is sometimes difficult.
It stays on for 8 hours plus on my upper lashline with minimal fading. But it sets quickly and layering over it does not go smooth.
Pros: 1. Rich black 2. Very creamy. 3. Glides on well..no tugging or pulling. 4. Small travel friendly brush. 5. Stays put quiet long. 6. Its often available at a discount..and the qty is more than other gel liners..like Maybelline and L’oreal..so quite economical. Cons: 1. I wish there was a longer brush too along. 2. Available only through reps. Overall, I would say its a nice rich black, matte gel liner..and buttery in texture..comes with a nice travel friendly brush too..if you love gel liners, you should definitely try this. Rating:
