New Maybelline ColorShow Lipsticks Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: With our new Color Show Lip Colors, we bring the catwalk colors to the sidewalk, just for you. The all new Maybelline Color Show Lip Color range has 32 vibrant moisture rich shades that enable you to express yourself every day. We give a shade for your every mood; now show your independence with reds, power with mauves, playful side with pinks & warmth with browns. These 32 intense colors suit all Indian skin tones and we’re absolutely sure you’re going to love them!

The main four color families are:
– Classis Reds (7 shades)
– Marvellous Mauves (10 shades)
– Provocative Pinks (6 shades)
– Delicious Browns (9 shades)

Why you will love this new lip color range? Because,
– They give all day hydration.
– They are heat resistant
– They guarantee color integrity.
– They do not fade even in extreme heat and humidity.
– They have a non-sticky, soft texture and hence are easy to glide.

The Color Show Lip Colors provide you with a range of shades which have the right amount of moisture, a sweet fragrance and stay true without drying up your lips just for Rs. 299/-

MRP: Rs.299/- for 3.9g

I am not sure if there are 27 shades or 32 shades, or maybe they have added 5 new shades.

Here are the 27 shades..

Maybelline’s Color Show range, whether it be nail paints or lipsticks, is a big hit! Coz they offer so many shades and are so economical plus they offer quality too!

Today I am reviewing the shades Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon, Red Rush and Cherry Crush.

Fuchsia Flare is from the Pink family, Orange Icon is from the Brown family and Red Rush and Cherry Crush from the Red family.

To start with the packaging, they come in a black packaging with a thin transparent strip in between which denotes which color family the shade belongs to, isn’t that cool and makes it easy to identify too unless of course if you have more shades from the same color family.

They have a nice, sweet candy smell which I love. The colors are super pigmented and glide on like butter. All the shades are true to its names. They have a creme finish, so neither glossy nor matte.

L-R: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush
Clockwise from left: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush

These swatches are just 2 light swipes.

L-R: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush

They stay on for 3-4 hours and leave behind a stain,especially the darker colors. They can survive light snacks and drinks but not full meal. Also these are not transfer proof.

Here are these on moi..

Clockwise from left: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush

Fuchsia Flare is a true blue based fuchsia pink ( no hint of neon)

Orange Icon is a light orange color. It reminds of those orange wedges shaped sweets we used to get as kids and also orange gola 😀 It is slightly on the sheer side and goes a bit patchy.

Red Rush is a deep warm red which makes you teeth look whiter. It is the most pigmented of the lot.

Cherry Crush is a super pretty carrot pink..my favourite of the lot.

Overall, I would say these are perfect in terms of pricing,quality,quantity,pigmentation, shades available. I have no cons for these, the staying power could have been better but then no creme finish lipsticks stay longer than that anyway. Highly recommended!!

L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Powder Foundation Review,Swatches,Demo

What the Company claims: L’Oréal  Paris  Infallible  Reno  Liquid  & Powder  Foundation  give  you:

-­‐  Velvety  matte  finish
-­‐  Non-drying  texture
-­‐  Optimal  coverage
-­‐  24H  flawless  wear
-­‐  Shine  Control

Left: 160 Sand Beige, Right- 225 Beige

Shades Available: 4

MRP: Rs.1250/-

Check out the review,swatches and demo of the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation HERE

Today I am reviewing the shades 160 Sand Beige and 225 Beige of the Infalible Reno Powder Foundation. I am not sure why it is ‘Infalible’ instead of ‘Infallible’

To start with the packaging, the upper part is plastic and quite light. It comes in transparent crimson packaging with a see through cap. The lower part has a sponge and mirror which is something quite nice, as the sponge is in a separate compartment so it does not get mixed with the powder even if you use it wet and the mirror is so handy while travelling and for touch ups. Though I wish the packaging was a bit sturdier coz this might break,even if it falls down once.

The texture is very fine, though it is not the smoothest. It can be used wet or dry. I prefer using a brush when I am using it dry and the sponge it comes with when using it wet.

Left: 160 Sand Beige, Right- 225 Beige

It gives light coverage when used dry and a little more medium coverage when used wet. It is completely matte and there would be no trace of shine on your skin when you use this. This will be a boon for people with oily skin.

Left: 160 Sand Beige, Right- 225 Beige

Since I prefer dewy finish and I am not a fan of matte, I do not use powders often except for my T-zone. Also you will need to moisturise really well before using this, as it accentuates dry patches.

The main con for me is the white cast! 🙁 It gives a strong white cast,especially in photographs.

160 Sand Beige is supposed to be lighter than 225 Beige,as shown in the Shade Options available online. But somehow Sand Beige is a better match for me and 225 Beige appears lighter on me. Even in the swatches, Sand Beige is a little more yellow and that matches well with my skin tone.

Here I have used both 160 Sand Beige and 225 Beige wet with the sponge.

160 Sand Beige (Left- With Foundation, Right- Without Foundation)
Makeup with 160 Sand Beige as a base
225 Beige (Left- With Foundation, Right- Without Foundation)
Makeup with 225 Beige as a base

225 Beige is lighter and looks even more light with the whitish cast, as you can see.

I am not generally a fan of using powder foundations wet, unless you are out and don’t have any liquid foundation and are heading to a party or a function and need some coverage. I generally prefer using powders on them when for daily basis or as a setting powder.

It works well on its own and amazing as a setting powder, only when used wet, it gives a whitish cast which I don’t like. I would recommend the shade 160 Sand Beige for mostly all of us with medium skin tone and yellow undertone.

Overall,  I would say it’s a nice powder foundation which is perfect for travelling and a boon for oily skin. It works really well as a setting powder too and also amazing for touch-ups. I would not recommend it for dry skin or if you want to use it wet.

I was trying and testing out the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation for you guys since quite some time now. So let’s get on to the review.

It comes in a glass bottle with a transparent red cap which has shade numbers on the top. The bottle is a bit heavy, but not too heavy. It comes in a square packaging and has a black pump inside.

It is liquidy and runny but thick enough and not water like. It is easy to blend using both brush and fingers.

How I use it is, I take some foundation on the back of my hand and dot my face all over with the foundation and blend it either using fingers or a brush. If you are using a brush, make sure it is a bit damp which will help you blend it more easily since this foundation is on the dry and matte side.

The foundation feels completely matte on the skin, there is no shininess or dewiness with it. If you have dry skin, I recommend using a moisturiser beneath, but even if you don’t, this won’t feel stretchy on the skin, though the finish might be better with a moisturiser and it may not accentuate dry patches.

For people with oily skin, this is a boon. It stays matte for a good 4-5 hours for someone with dry/normal skin and then you need to blot some oil or shine on your face with a powder. For oily skin, you will need to blot it in 2-3 hours maybe, but once blotted, you will get the matte effect back.

It stays for almost the whole day, though the finish would look slightly dull at the end of the day i.e after 9-10 hours. It is almost transfer proof, though if you are sweating or have some shine on the face, it would transfer a bit on the tissue.

I am glad that it comes in 11 shades and has shades for both yellow and pink undertones. Though the darker shades are not much, and I found 3-4 shades very, very close to each other with not much difference.

I love the finish of this foundation. It provides medium to heavy coverage with layering. It covers dark spots, redness and also some of dark circles. You can skip a concealer unless you want a flawless finish. I usually don’t use a powder on top and it stays matte and let’s the skin breathe too. I have received quite some compliments with this foundation and even Cory Walia mentioned that I was glowing 😀 I did not reveal this secret though.

Even though it has an SPF of 18, it does not give a white cast and photographs well. Also, the shades are so close to each other, that you can make them work for you, if you choose any of these mid shades, a lot of options for us, wheatish skin tone.

I have the shades 200 Golden Sand, 140 Golden Beige and 220 Sand, all three of which are yellow toned and warm.

I have worn all three shades outside and none looked too light or dark, all three worked decently. If I have to choose, I would say 140 is the match closest to my skin,followed by 200 and 220 is slightly dark.

Without-With Foundation
Without-With Foundation
Without-With Foundation
Makeup with shade 140 Golden Beige

Overall, these are amazing quality wise and would last you quite long as you don’t need too much product. They give a nice, matte finish and stay put whole day. Perfect for oily skin and would work well for dry skin with a moisturiser underneath. Highly recommended.

The Body Shop Sleepover with Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask

The Body Shop Sleepover with Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask

Hi guys,

So yesterday night I had a sleepover with The Body Shop! Not literally :p But, the lovely people at The Body Shop had sent a surprise box and a letter for a sleepover. That’s all I knew, coz the box and letter was to be opened only when they told us the sleepover would be, and it was yesterday night.

As I read the letter first, I had to rip apart the box immediately, I couldn’t contain my excitement looking at all the cute stuff. See what all I got:

  • A #BounceBackBeautiful tote bag
  • A #BounceBackBeautiful Cute Pillow to hug me 😀
  • A mug
  • Hot Chocolate! (My favourite thing in the kit)
  • A stress busting ball
  • Super cute Pink eye mask (Yes, pink :p)
  • The Body Shop Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask

The letter it came with..

The Body Shop Drops of Youth falls under their ‘Nutriganics’ Range.

About the product: Discover our Drops of Youth™ Bouncy Sleeping Mask, enriched with Edelweiss stem cells. Designed to be left on while you sleep, this overnight mask leaves skin looking bouncier and feeling replenished. Discover how this mask will bounce your skin back to youth. • Youth-enhancing formula for bouncier, younger-looking skin • Unique bouncy, memory shape texture • To complete your skin care routine, pair perfectly with Nutriganics Drops of Youth Concentrate and Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate

MRP: Rs.2295/-

How to use: Smooth onto face before bed either alone or after Drops of Youth™ Concentrate, and allow to sink in overnight. Do not wash off. For best results, wait 15 minutes before going to bed.

Here is a video that shows exactly how to use it:

It is white in color and gel-like in texture, feels bouncy indeed, difficult to get the product with hands. It comes with a small, white spatula. I used 2 small spatulas and massaged the product on the skin the same way as in the video. I let it absorb on the skin while I enjoyed my hot chocolate 🙂

Here is a picture of me with the mask on and the ‘After‘ is the morning ‘just washed with water’ face. The difference in light is due to night time and day time light. Also, you can see the shine on the face in the pic with the mask as it was still getting absorbed.

L-with the mask, R- Morning Just ‘washed’ face

My skin indeed felt softer,hydrated and smoother. There was no dryness or stretchiness and skin looked refreshed.

I like the fact that it comes with a spatula which makes it hygienic and easy to get the product. But it comes in a heavy glass jar, so it is not exactly travel friendly.

I was very happy with the ‘Sleepover’ idea and the kit, one of the best ideas by The Body Shop. Also, this is one of the best kits I have ever received from a brand.

I actually slept very peacefully yesterday after ages, I don’t know what exactly worked for me, but no nightmares haunting me (Which has been happening since a lot of days, the same old ‘accident’ scenes) and I slept for a long,long time 😀

Thank you The Body Shop for the kit and the sleepover idea.

I loved the mask and I am going to continue using it, would update you guys.

Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipstick REB04 Review, Swatches

So, after reviewing the shades REB01 and REB05 HERE, here is another shade.

What the Company claims: Color Sensational presents the NEW Rebel Bouquet collection. A burst of rebellious colour!

Why You’ll Love It
Super-saturated pigments give fresh-picked pastels a bright kick. Sumptuous feel and enriched with honey nectar. 6 vivacious shades.

MRP: Rs.450/- for 3.9g

Shades Available: 6 

The packaging is same as the Colorsensational one with a transparent red cap. It is super creamy and soft in texture, and gives a glossy finish. Though it does not glide on easily onto lips, you need to work carefully.

It is not transfer proof and stays for around 3-4 hours but does not survive eating proper lunch, etc. Very moisturising and you do not need any separate lip balm underneath.

Once settled, the lipstick stays put and the glossiness reduces a bit.

While REB01 was an apple red and REB05 a peachy coral, this shade REB04 is kind of a mix. Its a reddish coral shade.

I love this shade! Not something unique, but somehow love how it brightens my face.

Here is it on me..

Overall, I would say the new Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipsticks are bright,glossy finish lipsticks that stay for a longer time than usual glossy lipsticks. Comes in 6 pretty red, peach and coral shades. Definitely worth a try. Recommended.

New Elle 18 Color Boost Lipsticks Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: Elle 18 has made things simpler this summer for all the girls out there with their new range of Color boost lipsticks. It comes in 10 lovely shades including Pinks, Reds and Oranges. These lipsticks are enriched with a special cocoa-butter formula that keeps your lips soft and your colour intact for upto 6 hours. Well, nothing arrests the beholder’s attention more than a glamourous pout.

MRP: Rs.150/-

Shades Available: 10

I am reviewing 7 of them today. Elle 18 Color Boost Lipsticks come in a pretty black and pink girlie packaging, like it always has been. Check out the previous range HERE

The lipsticks have an orange center which is their lip balm at the core, that keeps the lipstick moisturising. I like how hydrating and light they feel on the lips. Surprisingly, they are very,very pigmented. I just couldn’t get rid of the swatches from the hand even after washing thrice with a cleanser and had to use a good makeup remover to finally remove them.

Of course. they don’t stay for 6 hours as claimed, but the staying power is better than the previous Color Pop Lipsticks.The lighter shades stay for around 2.5-3 hours and the darker ones stay for around 3.5-4 hours, without and eating that is.

They are not transfer proof, but even after they wear off, the brighter shades leave a nice tint behind.

Talking of the packaging, it is very,very flimsy. One lipstick which I loved the most, Miss Pink  was already broken from the bullet before I received them. So, these are not very travel friendly too and should be carried along with care.

But as you guys know, the brand Elle 18 is all about affordability. These babies are very economical at 150 bucks and all the 10 new shades are super pretty and bright. Perfect for summers. Highly recommend getting 1-2 of these!

Here are the shades:

07 Hollywood Pink: Reddish Pink with silver shimmer

10 Superlicious Red : Warm Red with a hint of coral

08 Red Passion: Warm Orange Red

09 Hyper Orange: Warm Bright Peach

01 Miss Pink: Soft Fuchsia Pink

05 Nude Coral: MLBB Everyday nude shade with a hint of coral

06 Blonde Pink: Rosey Pink Brown with silver shimmer

And on moi..

I invested a lot of time in swatching, editing, etc. :/ I hope you guys like these pics and it is helpful for you to decide the shades, if in case you are buying it online or even shortlisting shades, if you are buying it from the store.

My favourite shades are Superlicious Red, Red Passion and Miss Pink, followed by Blonde Pink.

Avene New Dry Touch Emulsion Sunscreen SPF50+ Review

Avene, New Launches, Reviews, Skin care, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Avene New Dry Touch Emulsion Sunscreen SPF50+ Review

What the Company claims: The unique Dry Touch Experience

Squeeze the Emulsion from the specially created air-free tube… you’ll feel the difference in the texture as soon as it’s on your skin. The lightweight formula sits easily even when liberally applied (as it should be, for the best and most complete protection) and lets your skin breathe easily too. It’s transparent on application, so you won’t have that unnatural white cast or spots. Moisturising yet non-sticky, it offers a mattifying effect so your skin appears natural and nourished.

What makes Avène New Dry Touch Emulsion so special?

Has a very high SPF of 50+
Paraben free, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic
Stays for a long time
Prevents skin damage
Soothes skin because of the presence of thermal spring water

MRP: Rs.1250/- for 50ml

Ingredients:

So Avene has reformulated and relaunched their sunscreen and made it ‘Dry Touch’ means non-sticky and non-greasy.

It looks like a tube packaging but it has a pump dispensor with a cap. Its white in color and creamy in texture, goes on smooth and blends on the skin, even if you take a little more quantity. Feels light on the skin, no greasiness indeed. It has a mattifying effect.

The most surprising thing was no white cast even though its SPF50+. I like the fact that it offers such high protection. And it is completely non-sticky which is rare in sunscreens. Paraben-free too and non-comedogenic so oily skin can also use it, without the fear of breaking out.

I would suggest re-applying it every 3-4 hours though if you are going to be out in the sun whole day. Also this is water resistant, so good for swimmers too.

I quite like it, only issue being,it is quite pricey, for you need a good amount for liberal application when it comes to sunscreen. Dry skin might need additional moisture but oily skin can skip the additional moisture. The thermal spring water, being one of the ingredients, will also soothe the skin.

Overall, I would say its quite nice as a sunscreen and I do recommend it. It does what it claims! Especially if you have sensitive skin or sunscreens don’t somehow work for you,give this a try.

Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipsticks Review,Swatches

Hey guys, I went to the Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Collection Launch on the 16th and we got a few samples to try out. As you know, I am most excited about the lipsticks always 😀 I have been trying these out since 2 days and here is the review.

They are called Rebel Bloom in the US and Rebel Bouquet in the UK same as here in India. The collection is more about pastels but not many shades would suit the Indian skintones, so Maybelline India has selected the shades that would suit the Indian skin tones and only launched those.

What the Company claims: Color Sensational presents the NEW Rebel Bouquet collection. A burst of rebellious colour!

Why You’ll Love It
Super-saturated pigments give fresh-picked pastels a bright kick. Sumptuous feel and enriched with honey nectar. 6 vivacious shades.

MRP: Rs.450/- for 3.9g

Shades Available: 6 (Sadly they are named REB01 to REB06, while the ones in US have pretty names. Maybelline why you no name lipsticks? :/)

I am reviewing the shades REB01 and REB05.

It comes in the normal ColorSensational square packaging with a transaparent red cap. The labels behind are red and coral according to the shades.

It is super creamy and soft in texture and melts in contact with the skin. It has a glossy,mirror finish which will give a bit of plumping effect to your lips.

I have turned into a matte lips fan recently, and these are into the glossy category. I wish they were matte :p They are quite pigmented but you do need to go over twice for a smooth and fully opaque coverage. Also since these are very creamy, they tend to bleed and you will have to be careful while applying. But once applied, they settle after some time and then stay put.

L- REB05, R- REB01

These are not transfer proof and you will need to reapply if you are eating or drinking,can survive tea and light snacks though. But otherwise, they stay for 4-5 hours (REB05 Peach stays for 3-4 hours) and also leave behind a pretty stain which stays for sometime.

T- REB01, B- REB05

You do not need any lip balm with these, since these are super moisturising. The honey nectar takes care of your lips.

REB05 is a peachy coral shade

REB01 is an apple red shade with some very fine shimmer

And here are these on moi..

L- REB05, R- REB01

These are reasonably priced at Rs.450, though the ColorSensational ones are priced at Rs.400 and the Bold Matte at Rs.425. A 5-6% price increase is still ok, unlike the brands these days who have increased prices 30-40% for their new launches.

Overall, I would say these are glossy and moisturising texture wise, but are not transfer proof. Also, these might bleed and need a bit of careful application, but once settled, they stay put well. I loved the peachy coral REB05 and can’t wait to check out the other 4 shades. Recommended!

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 🙂

I am reviewing the shade Pink Caress and Tangerine Lush today. The packaging is same as the Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipsticks, silver body  with a transparent cap.

It is sturdy and travel friendly, while I was swatching the lipsticks, I thought maybe the lipstick bullet may come off since I was going over it quite a few times, but it is sturdy enough and stayed put 😀

It has a slight sweet artificial smell which I did not like, but it goes away in a minute or two, and does not hamper.

Coming to the finish and texture, I would say I LOVE it! Perfect matte finish,goes on smooth, does not dry out the lips and feels very very light on the lips.

Only thing is you need to swipe 2-3 times to get the perfect opaque coverage. It stays on for 6-7 hours with minimal fading and survives tea and light snacks. It is not completely transfer proof, but I guess that’s ok.

L-Pink Caress, R- Tangerine Lush

While the Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipsticks were priced at Rs.800, I feel these are amazing comparatively at Rs.700. And with the quality these come with, I don’t mind the price at all since most of the new launches currently have been priced quite high by all the brands. (You know what I am talking about :D)

Up-Pink Caress, Down- Tangerine Lush

It is not as bright as it appears in the tube and swatches a bit different..both the shades are candy like and pretty young and vibrant

L-Pink Caress, R- Tangerine Lush

Pink Caress is a beautiful matte candy pink. My favourite of the two

Tangerine Lush is a medium orange,not to bright or neon or in your face. Quite wearable

Overall, I would say these are quite fabulous and I am in love with them! My current new love <3 Highly recommended!

Rating: 4.5/5
