Diana of London Movie Magic Mascara Review

Uncategorized, , , , ,
Diana of London MOVIE MAGIC MASCARA Review

Review by Agnibanya

“Mascara with specially designed brush & exclusive formula”

Specially designed brush
Gives the right length and perfect definition

Exclusive formula
Volumizes instantly for thicker beautiful lashes

Lanolin – free
Strengthens and makes lashes naturally strong

Application Tips:
Starting in the middle of the upper eyelash, apply cosmetic mascara in upward parallel strokes through your top lashes from below the upper lashes combing them upwards, and working your way to the edges. Lightly stroke down the bottom lashes, moving from the inner to the outer corner of the eye & comb lashes from base to tip.

Ingredients:

MRP: INR 595/8ml

The Diana of London MOVIE MAGIC MASCARA is lengthening and defining mascara available in only a single shade, i.e. Black, and it is really a very intense black.  It comes in a bright and attractive Green packaging.

The brush want is flexible and neatly defines and lengthens the lashes true to its claims. In two coats my sparse and thin lashes look neatly defined and as I build up the layers, it also adds a bit of volume that makes the lashes bit glamorous and adds a bit of curve as well.. But only until say 5- 6 coats, post which there is slight clumping. The brush is neither too thick nor too thin and therefore it’s easy to reach the inner lashes easily too.

I like the brush tip which has short and stubby and widely spaced bristles which ensures uniform coating of lashes. A great aspect of this mascara is it doesn’t make your lashes hard and brittle. It is opthalmologically tested and I did not experience any kind of irritation even when I coated my lower lashes with this mascara or when a little bit of it got inside my eyes. It is not mentioned anywhere on the packaging whether it is a washable or waterproof mascara, but I think it’s a waterproof variant because I need a makeup remover to remove the mascara. It’s quite stubborn to take off.  And it stays until you take it off.

Pros:

1. Attractive packaging
2. Intense Black color
3. Coats lashes uniformly, no clumping unless you layer too much
4. Stays for long hours
5. Non irritating to eyes
6. Perfect for everyday wear and office wear
7. It’s a big tube so it should last long.
8. It’s lengthening and volumising at the same time

Cons:

1. Too much layering can cause clumping
2. Non mentioned on the pack about the variant (washable/waterproof)
3. Need a good quality makeup remover to take it off.

Overall, the Diana of London MOVIE MAGIC MASCARA is a great everyday mascara that can instantly build up volume and define your lashes while giving them a lift at the same time. My sparse lashes look very polished and neat with this mascara and the short stubby brush tip coats lashes uniformly without clumps.

Editor’s Note: This sounds pretty good..and the effect looks nice too.

Have you tried the Diana of London Movie Magic Mascara ?

Haul: Stila, theBalm, La Roche-Posay, EOS

Haul: Stila, theBalm, La Roche-Posay, EOS

Hey everyone,

I am back with a haul after a long time ! My cousin was coming from the US and I always order stuff from Apothica and get it delivered at his place. (Cashing on the free shipping within US :p)

This time I ordered Stila In the Light Palette, theBalm Stainiac in Prom Queen, La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, EOS Lip Balms in Strawberry Sorbet and Summer Fruit and Styli Style Line and Seal 24H Eye Pencil in Bronze.

Stila In the Light Palette is my fav of the lot. Its a collection of Stila’s award-winning eye shadows in wearable, neutral shades for every skin tone that can be worn wet or dry and comes with Stila Smudge Stick in Damsel, a matte brown shade. Comes with a lookbook which has 4-5 different looks from day to night. I feel many of the shades are quite similar to the ones in UD Naked Palette.

theBalm Stainiac is a lip and Cheek Stain..Prom Queen is a pretty strawberry red tint.

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water…wanted to try from a long time and EOS lip balms too.

Styli Style Line and Seal eye pencil in Bronze..heard the brand first time..but read good reviews that it really does stay put whole day.

Whats your favorite ?

Maybelline Color Show Nail Paints Review, NOTD

Sorry for being MIA..my PC issues plus one of my cousin is getting engaged this Saturday and we have a dancing function too..so need to practice these 4-5 days after office :p And today, I got terrible cold suddenly..nose and eyes watering so much 🙁

What the Company claims: Why You’ll Love It

Chip-resistant formula for bolder color that just won’t quit.
• Easy-flow brush.
• Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free.

The fashion fix for your fingertips
Stay right on trend from your tips to your toes with new Maybelline Color Show. Our gel based formula with color popping pigments, comes in 40 bold, super stylish shades that look great on nails. So go on, mix, match and make the most of color.

For Best Results :

First apply a clear base coat to help your nail color last longer. With one sweep, paint the first line of nail polish starting from the base to the tip. Then apply color to the rest of the nail.

With one sweep, paint the first line of nail polish up the centre of your nail starting from the base to the tip. For the cleanest look, be sure to leave a small space at the base of the nail. Then apply color to the rest of the nail.

MRP: Rs.75/- for 6ml

Shades Available : 40

These come in a small cute round bottle..the brush is amazing..super easy to use..they apply streak free and they come in different finish..matte, glossy, metallic, clear top coat..

And the best part, they stay ! It stayed on me for about 6 days before some minor chipping on the tips..

215 Keep Up The Flame is an amazing glossy pinky red.

503 Denim Dash is a matte denim blue with blue shimmer.

221 Buried Treasure is a beautiful bronze brown with hint of olive green duochrome with gold shimmer..my favorite of the lot ! It has a metallic kinda finish. I loved this shade..quite unique.

These are so good for different nail art too..only glitch is when layered for nail art, they take forever to dry..though individually they dry sooner..and did not work when different finish is combined for nail art..like the glossy one did not show up on matte.

Pros:

1. Economical.
2. 40 shades to choose from.
3. Different finishes.
4. Cute round packaging.
5. Easily available.
6. Dries quickly.
7. Easy to use brush.
8. Stays for 6+ days !
9. Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free

Cons:

1. Some finish when combined do not work for nail art.
2. Takes time to dry when layered for nail art..though not individually.

I loved the fact that both the price and quantity is lower..coz its easy to finish up 6ml than those 15ml bottles..and saves on price too..plus we get to try more shades at the same rate..

I am in love with these..every shade I see..I fall in love with it 😀

Oriflame Studio Artist Foundation Illuma Flair Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , ,
Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Foundation- Illuma Flair with SPF 15 (Olive Beige) Review, Swatches

Review by Agnibanya

Product Claims:
Kiss harsh, unforgiving lighting goodbye forever! Light-diffusing Illuma Flair™ Complex blurs imperfections, evening out skin tone and giving a natural, yet flawless result wherever you are. Its weightless formula feels wonderful on the skin, and leaves it feeling moisturized, looking luminous and free from shine. SPF 15.

No. Of shades available: 5

Ingredients:

MRP:  INR 598/30 ml

The Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Foundation Illuma Flair is a liquid foundation that comes in a tube packaging with a screw top lid.

The foundation has light runny texture that makes it a little difficult to control the amount of product that is dispersed and also makes the cap messy no matter how careful you are. But because of the consistency, it is very light to wear and easy to blend and you can get even finish even with fingers.

Swatch, Unblended, Blended

The coverage is very light and it is almost like a tinted moisturizer. The shade I have with me is Olive Beige which is light for my NC 43 skin but thankfully it doesn’t have very cool undertones and that is why even though it’s not a perfect match for my skin, it doesn’t appear ashy. It feels slightly sticky after application but dries down quickly.

It gives a dewy finish to the skin and therefore makes the skin look healthy and youthful; however, since I have some blemishes, I use it after applying concealer to the area where I need to cover marks or patchiness. On its own it stayed for 6+ hrs on my skin, but when topped with a setting powder, I get upto 9 hrs of wear.


Pros:

1. Light on skin
2. Easy to blend
3. Great for normal to combination skin, doesn’t emphasize dry areas, covers pores
4. Great on budget as you can easily get it on discount.
5. Neutral undertones, neither too cool nor too warm.
6. SPF 15.

Cons:

1. Very light coverage, doesn’t hide marks/pigmentation
2. Those who are fond of mattifying foundations might not like this.
