Beauty Fest at Westside with StudioWest

Hi guys,

Westside, Trent has recently announced the launch of StudioWest, an extensive range of make-up and bath & body products in July.

They had a ‘Beauty Festival’ at their Infiniti Mall, Andheri store where there is a dedicated area for all things makeup, beauty and hair! You can find all the brands here from Lakme, Colorbar, BBLUNT, LYN, Maybelline, L’Oreal Paris and of course StudioWest.

I absolutely loved how StudioWest was presented in a circular kiosk with all their products arranged beautifully section wise.

We had the celebrity makeup artist Pallavi Symons who demonstrated a few looks using the StudioWest products. She has also created a series of makeup videos for StudioWest in association with Glamrs.com, some of which you can see HERE, HERE and HERE.

They had a Beauty Spin Wheel with five different looks and Pallavi recreated the Cat Eye on Sonal Sagaraya and the Summer Brunch look on Samyukta.

StudioWest line consists of two ranges : Pure Passion and Maaya
– Pure Passion: With its lightweight textures, vibrant hues and flawless finishes encourages women to experiment with makeup and reinvent their look
– Maaya: with its gorgeous shimmer textures, dazzling hues, is perfect to add glamour to all your special occasions.

Studiowest entails an array of beauty products and fragrances mentioned below:
– Dramatic Eyes: Intense Kajal, Crystal Eyeshadow, Luscious Mascara and Dramatic Eyeliners
– Luscious Lips: Lipsticks, Lip Glazes, Lip Liners and Lip Glosses (Matt or Glossy)

I already have reviews of the Lakme Lip Pouts and LYN Nail Lacquers on the blog. I would be reviewing the StudioWest products soon 🙂

I love the fact that WestSide has launched complete range of makeup products and that too at an economical price.  And Pallavi Symons told us that they would be adding gel liners, palettes and all of those pretty soon! Yay for that 🙂

I only hope that they retail online too, so that can be more easily available.

If you have read the review before, you know how I absolutely love LYN Nail Lacquers. Super creamy and smooth,easy to apply,gorgeous shades and finishes,goes streak-free, completely opaque in two coats and stays for more than 10 days without chipping! Phew 😀 I think these are going to be my favourite forever.

I am reviewing the shade ‘Beach You To It’ today which is a gorgeous taupe brown. It is the most unique shade in my stash and the prettiest I have seen. This shade will work with whatever you are wearing and wherever you are, from office to parties to anywhere.

How pretty is this ring!

Absolutely recommend LYN Nail Lacquers.

Rating: 4.5/5

MRP: Rs.350/- for 12ml

Live Your Now (LYN) come in a square shaped bottle with black cap. It has different collections like Reds,Greens,Corals bifurcated on the basis of colors and also Glitters,Sugar Rush,Sheers on the basis of finish and texture.

The formula is France based and it is indeed nice. 2 coats are all you need for a perfect,opaque coverage and it gives a super,smooth finish. Pigmentation wise its quite bright and the glossy finish and coverage is perfect.

It goes on smooth without any streaks and the best part is, it stays for a good 9-10 days with just a bit of chipping at the tips. Really impressed by the staying power and the color and finish does not get dull too. It has even survived 2 weeks with just a bit of chipping and the finish gets a bit dull later on. But no nail enamel has stayed that long on me!

It comes in 100 shades with all possible finishes and different textures. I am really keen on trying out the Glitters and Sugar Rush next.

I have tried the shades ‘No Morning Blues‘ and ‘Didya Vinka At Me’ untill now. All the 100 shades have such fun,quirky names 😀 No Morning Blues was a part of the February My Envy Box.

No Morning Blues is a creamy bright pastel blue

Didya Vinka At Me is a super creamy bright deep raspberry pink. Lot of people asked me about this shade :p

I absolutely love the finish and quality. Though its slightly higher priced, but the quantity of 12ml is good and also the quality is fab, maybe we can have a smaller size at a lesser price. I like that idea in nail enamels of having a lesser quantity so that we can use it completely and also have more colors.

Its available online on My Envy Box,Purplle and Nykaa. I hope it is more easily available soon both online and offline.

I highly recommend trying these, you can thank me later 🙂
