Illamasqua Velvet Blusher Flirtatious Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: New for Summer 2014, create a flush of intense colour with this long-lasting, matte blusher in Flirtatious. The lightweight cream texture delivers a velvet soft cream to powder finish. Apply to the apples of the cheek, or across cheekbones to enhance and define. Build and blend with fingers or an Illamasqua brush for added colour-intensity.

MRP: £21.50 for 5 g / 0.18 OZ (Approx. Rs.2200/-)

Flirtatious is a lightweight velvet soft powder which delivers a matte finish. Apply to enhance your cheekbones, use over foundation for impact.

Key Benefits:
1. Blends effortlessly
2. Velvet soft powder matte finish.

Application: Build and blend with fingers or an Illamasqua brush.

It comes in the trademark Illamasqua packaging. Looking at it first, I could’nt make out its a cream finish coz it looked just like powder.

Its a cream to powder finish. As soon as you blend it, the color is completely dry and matte and stays put throughout the day.

This is not those creamy, melt in your face or give a soft, dewy look kinda blush. Its matte and looks as good as any powder finish blush.

Flirtatious is a perfect peachy, pink shade. It gives that nice, healthy glow to the cheeks. This is one shade and finish, which would work for all skin tones and on all skin types, be it oily or dry.

I am in love with it..and eyeing more from this Velvet Blusher range. Other shades available in the Velvet Blusher range are Conviction, Sleek and Peaked.

Unblended- Blended

Pros:

1. Love the Illamasqua packaging.

2. Beautifully pigmented.

3. Matte finish.

4. Once blended, stays put throughout the day.

5. Perfect texture and works on all skin types.

6. Shade gives a nice healthy, peachy pink flush and would work on all skin tones.

7. Blends easily.

Cons:

1. Expensive.

2. Available online. You can buy it HERE.

Overall, I would say, I love this new Velvet Blusher range and their finish. And also all the 4 shades which are a part of this range look amazing. I think these are just perfect. Highly recommend them.

Style Tips for Summers

So the monsoons were supposed to be officially starting in India, but they just showed us a teaser and ran away, to never return 😀

Well, untill we get those nice rains and showers, we definitely need some cool attire for ourselves in this sweltering heat of Mumbai. Here, are some summer style tips for you guys..

Outdoor

1. Cotton, Cotton, Cotton: Yes, do not forget. Wear only cotton in a hot and humid climate like Mumbai. Coz no other cloth material would absorb the sweat and humidity as well. Also, its more skin friendly and will not make you feel irritated even when you are out in the sun. You can also go for linen.

2. Whites: All whites keep you cool and relaxed. White ensembles do not absorb heat and are hence more suitable for summers.

Outdoor/Casual

3. Breezy, airy clothes: Shorts, skirts, dresses, sleeveless tops. All clothes that lets your skin breathe and gives it some air. We hate tight denims stuck on our skin in the summers, don’t we ?!

Casual

4. Sunglasses, scarves, hats: All that and more, whatever you need to protect yourself from the sun. A good pair of sunnies can make or break your outfit. Also, you can use a scarf, hat or umbrella when outdoors to cover your head and hair.

5. Comfortable footwear: Open and comfortable footwear, be it your slippers or sandals..or our very own kolhapuris. Also, you can go for wedges, if you need height.

Party

6. Sunscreen: A good high SPF sunscreen is a must in summers..and also do keep reapplying every 2-3 hours when you are out in the sun.

I have shared some sleeveless, airy tops and dresses that you can wear in summers..be it a casual look, outdoor look, party look or a festive look.

Here is mine Party #SleevelessSelfie Look..

Also, a good deodorant is something that you need all the time. The new Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deo not only smells amazing, but also helps whiten your underams for all those sexy, sleeveless, summer attires. I am currently using that and loving it..would be reviewing soon.

Btw, also love the new Anushka Sharma’s ad for the same..

You can also participate in this #SleevelessSelfie contest on the Nivea India facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/NIVEA.in/app_721803454524727 and win some great prizes.

What is up for grabs ?

I had specs from my 4th standard and there were only these 2-3 opticians in your local market in those days. A proper ophthalmologist would check your power and prescribe the number. And then you go to the optician, and select one out of the 10-15 boring frames !! Like, literally boring. I have even worn Gandhiji glasses :hides face:

But, gone are those days now ! With everything being online these days, why should your glasses, lenses or branded shades be far away.

You can see the different views from a 360 degrees angle and also on your own pic before buying. They also have a try and buy policy which means you pay cash on delivery, only if you try it and like it. I love that !

I am really loving those cat eyed geeky glasses these days and eyeing one from Lenskart. Definitely getting it.

Shades: Fair, Light, Medium, Dark

Ok, so as most of you know, we already have the CC Creams now after the BB creams..and the rest till Z will follow soon 😀

Coming to this Sleek MakeUP CC cream, it comes in this white and black cap packaging and has a small nozzle dispensor which just dispenses just the required perfect amount..no wastage here!

The shade Light is like my second skin! It suits me so perfectly, or its the CC cream’s color adaptive technology that makes me feel so. But I don’t feel there is anything on apart my skin, it blends and feels so seamless.

At the same time, its a little rich and hydrating..it plumps up my skin. And gives that soft, dewy, hydrated, glossy skin. I have combination skin, but I love base products that give me dewy skin. I am not a matte skin lover..I like it dewy and natural. So, for me, this formula works perfect. For oily skin, you will definitely need to powder up with this and touch up later.

It stays on me for a good whole day when I am out..has stayed 6-7 hours easily. And does not transfer much, a little on tissue, when there is too much humidity. You know I live in Mumbai and we all sweat like pigs once out of the house !

And as far as the coverage goes, its amazing..medium buildable coverage..and I need only a pea sized amount ! Its my go to everyday !

Here is an FOTD with only this CC cream and some kohl and lip balm.

Pros:

1. Amazing coverage.

2. Skin is moisturized and hydrated, you do not even need a separate moisturiser.

3. Gives a dewy, plumped up, healthy looking skin.

4. Stays for 6-7 hours.

5. Does not transfer much.

6. SPF29 UVA+UVB

7. Good for daily use..feels light like second skin.

8. Shades adapt to skin tone and look completely natural.

9. Travel friendly packaging with a perfect small nozzle which prevents wastage.

10. Also has Vitamin C which helps protect skin against skin damage.

Cons:

1. Availability is an issue.

I don’t think I can think of any other cons..I am so in love with it, right from the first use. Its my current staple. I hit ‘tube-end’ on my favorite L’Oreal Paris BB Cream and was planning to repurchase when this arrived ! And I sooo love this..in my Holy Grail now. Though there are only 4 shades, the Color Adaptive technology helps it match your skin tone. I highly recommend this ! Though oily skin and people who love matte skin, do need to powder. For normal to dry skin, this is a must have.

Rating:

Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 4.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

How to Look the Best on a Night Out at the Casino

How to look the best on a night out at the casino

For those who have never visited a land based casino, there may be several questions about what to expect. After all, these venues are much different than the online casinos on the internet. Of course, some online establishments  don’t require a dress code. One question many women have when looking at casinos relates to what kind of clothing to wear, if you look at casino films in Hollywood, the outfits are always high in glamour. But is this a necessity when going to a casino in real life? The best answer to this question is to contact the specific casino itself for more information. The website can be consulted or a call can be placed to the casino. The usual response will be a smart casual dress code which in some situations may be known as business casual.

Even though it’s not an ensemble comprised of separates, dresses can fall within the realm of smart casual. The hem length must be decent, generally, it should fall at the knees. Never wear a dress that has a hem shorter than that. Carefully consider colours and patterns when choosing a dress. Certain patterns aren’t as dressy even if the cut of the dress is. Black is always a wise choice as it can be dressed up or down with accessories like blazers, scarves or jewellery.

While some women may not want to wear dresses to the casino, they do have many other options. Slacks can be part of any smart casual outfit. They should be loose fitting. Avoid tighter styles as they aren’t quite dressy enough. Also, avoid fabrics that wrinkle easy. For instance, during the summer months, linen is a popular fabric but it does wrinkle easy which won’t keep you looking great during the night at the casino. Casual slacks can be worn which would include chinos and corduroys. If wearing these, the top garments of the outfit should be smart in nature to balance out the slacks.

What do you prefer to wear to a casino ?

OOTD: Studded White Top, Coral Slit Maxi Skirt

Hey guys,

Back with an OOTD. Most of you love my striped skirt and sandals in my previous OOTD. I love them too !

Also, I love this high waisted coral half sheer maxi skirt with a thigh high slit. Its so summery and I love the coral color <3.

I paired it with a white studded top..studs on the pocket and shoulders. It can be formal and/or casual depending on how you team and wear it..very versatile.

Merged the two with a broad stretchable black statement belt with gold detailing on the front. Kept the accessories minimal..went for this black choker necklace with little danglings and a gold hollow out cuff. I went for a sleek, low ponytail with middle parting.

Since its white and coral, I added some animal print touch with my leopard print sandals.

 

See my tan? How I hate it :/

My Envy Box June Review

Read about My Envy Box HERE and see my previous boxes of Jan, Feb, March, April and May.

This time I got a nice lilac color box. (A break from pinks and peaches). I got the multi color pouch this time which was missing last month. Let’s see the contents inside..

What I got :

  • Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro (Shade no.15)– Full sized 7ml bottle- Rs.300/-
  • Nina Ricci La Tentation De Nina Perfume –1.5ml vial worth Rs.144/- (Rs. 4800/- for 50ml)
  • Skinyoga Coconut Sea Salt Foot Scrub– 50g worth Rs.165/- (O.P- Rs.495/- for 150gms)
  • Kronokare Provencal Lavender Body Lotion– 35ml worth Rs.55/- (O.P- Rs. 345/- for 220 ml)
  • Thalgo Freshness Exfoliator– 5ml worth Rs.177/- (O.P- Rs. 1770/- for 50ml)

Total worth of the box comes to Rs.841/– plus you get the colorful pouch, the super sturdy lilac box (which is good for storage) and discount cards to buy the full sized products, and the shipping cost, and the price of the box being Rs.850/-, you can see how a total value for money it is ! (If the value of the Innisfree nail paint is Rs.300/- coz on few sites, I see it at Rs.200/-. Not really sure of that.) (Confirmed that there are two ranges..and this Eco Pro one is worth Rs.300/-)

Also many of you might not be very interested in these small luxury samples or do not consider it of much value, but I say if the samples are decent sized, then its better,that one gets to try it out and see if it works for them, and then spend that huge amount ! Same goes for perfumes..these 1.5 ml small vials are always helpful to judge whether you like a particular note or not.

I do think they should do away with Thalgo now..too much of Thalgo happening..and its always small 3ml or 5ml tubes which are hardly good for 1-2 uses. I like that there is second SkinYoga here and a good sized sample. And a new natural brand Kronokare included too which is also a good 35ml bottle, though can’t claim it to be a luxury brand. Nina Ricci La Tentation De Nina is a good qty small travel friendly vial..much much better than those sachet packs which are a pain to use.

And the full sized Innisfree nail paint is the best thing in the box..this time’s box is one of my favorites considering the value for money part. After the March box which had a Forest Essentials full sized lip balm.

Also, they give back 25% (INR 213 for a 1 month subscription) as ENVY points to use when buying full size products.  The 10% discount is valid on almost all products on the website for subscribers.

Overall, I do like it..better than the previous boxes where we only got tiny sized 2-3 samples and perfume sachets. I hope they continue to include one makeup item and one full sized product in the future boxes.

Makeup Apps from Maybelline

Looking to mobile for expert makeup advice

Guest Post

Makeup is supposed to be a girl’s best friend, yet that’s only the case when it’s used properly. Many women have fell victim of sloppy makeup techniques and incorrect shades, so it’s about time that we educate ourselves with the right makeup products for our skin tones. A trouble-free way to teach ourselves is by using mobile makeup apps, specifically ones offered by Maybelline.

Ever since the introduction of mobile applications in 2008, which was shortly after the release of the first iPhone, the world has been enthralled with the variety and versatility of apps, affecting industries from beauty to even gaming. Accessibility and convenience have also played a part in the popularity of mobile apps, which is why there were equal percentages of female and male mobile gaming users across all age groups according to AlchemyBet, maker of notable mobile casino pocketfruity.com. Because mobile apps are quite easy to use, makeup brands such as Maybelline decided to launch a mobile platform for beauty tips and tricks for all women.

Searching for the right makeup products can be a hassle, but your luck might just improve with the use of Maybelline’s mobile apps listed below.

FitMe

A lot of the time, women fail to choose the right colors that fit their complexion. For some, it has taken many trial-and-error sessions to discover their perfect shades, but with the help of this Maybelline app, the ladies won’t have to undergo an extended period of experimentation with their makeup. FitMe cleverly matches the correct shade of concealer, foundation, powder, blush and even bronzer.

ColorShow

In 2012, augmented reality app maker Blippar teamed up with our favorite makeup brand in creating a virtual option for Maybelline customers to “try on” nail polish before making a purchase. Before this app, we had to go through the tedious process of painting the testers on our fingernails, but now with a snapshot of your hand, you can test out the entire collection without having to reach for the polish remover.

Makeup Express

The latest in Maybelline mobile apps is Makeup Express. Like FitMe, this app features the “Shade Finger” which assists its users in finding the right products for their skin tone. Makeup Express also provides Maybelline buyers with an interactive in-store experience so that consumers can browse the shop while reading about product details, ratings, and tutorials. Backstage secrets can be discovered by capturing the M: Interactive symbol in-store or on advertisements, which will then lead users to the augmented reality portion of the app.

Instead of wasting time testing one product after another, try using these apps for the most accurate, efficient, and convenient makeup shopping experience.

Vichy Laboratoires CAPITAL SOLEIL SPF50+ Velvety Cream Complexion Refining Action Review

SKIN TYPE: Normal to Dry Sensitive Skin
ACTION: Optimum protection thanks to a formula enriched with MEXORYL which helps protect the genetic capital against sun damage, brown spots and sun induced premature skin ageing.
RESULT: The very high protection – UVB, UVA and Long Wave UVA. Skin is protected against sun damage and improved skin quality.skin is smoother – In the sun. Skin is protected from photoageing (anti wrinkles and spots)


HOW TO USE: Apply the Velvety cream just before exposure. Re-apply frequently and generously to maintain protection, especially after swimming, perspiring or toweling.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Broad spectrum filtering system with Mexoryl® : anti UVA-UVB, reinforced against long range UVA (3/4th of UV) to offer more protection and more beauty benefits for the skin.
TEXTURE: Soft and silky texture with Hyaluronic Acid: melts in the skin and immediately replumps it. Skin is smoother, softer, suppler.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.1090/- for 50ml

First of, it was priced at Rs.890/- 2-3 months back and on the Vichy India site, it still shows at Rs.890/-. I don’t know why the 2oo bucks jump suddenly :/

To start with, it comes in this pretty yellow packaging which many brands are coming up with these days for their sunscreens. It has a simple flip cap tube packaging.

The sunscreen is white in color and has a soft floral kind of smell. It looks thicker in consistency but is quite easy to spread and blend and is creamy. Does leave a whitish cast though.

Its slightly rich for oily skin. As it even claims to be normal to dry skin. I have combination skin..and my T zone definitely feels oily..but its rich for my overall skin too in summers..I definitely need touch ups with this.

I like that it has SPF 50 and very high protection..I am not using it everyday, but only when I am going to be out in the sun. Indoors I do with SPF30-35 with medium protection. Its been a little over 2.5 weeks since I am using it..I still wanted to wait before reviewing but since monsoons have already started, I wanted to review this before the rains are coming full-fledged.

Its the 2nd sunscreen from L’Oreal Paris with Mexoryl, one more being the new L’Oreal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence.

Pros:

1. High Protection.

2. SPF50+ with Mexoryl and Advanced protection against UVA and UVB rays.

3. Hyaluronic Acid plumps up the skin giving it a softer and smoother look.

4. Travel proof packaging.

5. Prevents skin from tanning or burning.

6. Gives a dewy looking skin..and dry skin would love this !

7. Water proof and sweat proof..stays through even in the humid Mumbai summers.

Cons:

1. Is quite rich..and not meant for oily skin or use in summers.

2. Leaves a slight whitish cast.

3. Expensive..and more so with the new increase in price!

Overall, I would say if you have dry skin, you can definitely try this out..and people with oily skin can try this in winters..coz its definitely a very good sunscreen. High protection from sun and tanning..and is quite water resistant too (sweat proof!). And is paraben free and hypoallergenic. Only other sunscreen from L’Oreal Paris with MEXORYL. Recommended.

Btw, it even claims to be for normal to dry, and sensitive skin.

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..especially in the rains, coz its water proof (Not that we are not supposed to use sunscreen in monsoons !) Also, its good before swimming.
