Marriages Made in Heaven ?

I wanted to participate in the Indiblogger contest..and then totally forgot about it..fortunately it is still accepting entries..

Well actually this is one topic which can be debated endlessly..and you always have people who are in support of either..all of us would be having friends who are in support of love marriages and some who are in support of arranged marriages..and I have even seen some convert with due time 😀

And there are some neutrals who are ok with either.. :p

Coming to the marriages made in heaven thing, do you ever think how would all that have been done ? Like destiny and all..you actually believe that love and arranged all couples are made in heaven ? Or its all written ? It sometimes makes me ponder..but then at the end, are’nt we all made to believe that we are in a particular situation right now coz its already written or pre destined..and at the end whatever happens, is for the good..and most of the people in India even adjust and wait whole their life, for that good ?!

Arranged marriages are seen a lot in a country like India, though the western countries have hardly a few of those..coz its a gamble, deciding on your life partner after meeting once or twice or talking an hour ?! I mean whats the guarantee that the person is actually like that in real life, one can just act up too..ya the family and all might be decent as found out my parents and relatives..but I find it to be a big time gamble..I guess the people in older generations did not mind..but now a days more and more people want to be with someone they already know or can rely on..nah not that arranged marriages do not work that way, you do get time to know each other till the marriage, but you cannot back out later without a good enough reason that is, which as per the elders cannot be ‘compromised’ on..

But ya I have seen good and bad cases of both, frankly good cases of arranged ones..may be coz the mental preparation of compromise is always there on their minds or later they adjust..I really dunno..

Also at times, people catch up the examples around them and keep relating to them, and if they are bad of either case, they feel those type of marriages do not last and feel kinda against them..

I do see the soap on Sony ‘Love Marriage Ya Arranged Marriage’ and how totally opposite the two best friends Mansi and Shivani are and even separated coz of their misunderstanding and finally get to see each other..

Do you watch it ? Whats your view on marriages, love or arranged ?

P.S: This is my entry to the Love Marriage ya Arranged Marriage! Contest on Indiblogger.

Sleek MakeUp Be Beautiful Blemish Balm Review, Swatches

Full Coverage Blemish Balm Cream with SPF 15
“be beautiful Blemish Balm”

Proving that it’s not just us girls who can multi-task!

Skincare meets make-up: What product can be used as a primer, tinted moisturiser, contains spf15, is highly moisturising, conceals blemishes, has anti-aging properties and provides full coverage? …

Sleek MakeUP’s Be Beautiful Blemish Balm.

Created to protect, moisturise, conceal and prime the skin the Sleek MakeUP Be Beautiful Blemish Balm is undoubteldy the multi-tasking goddess of the product range that aims to brighten your complexion and leave your skin looking, smooth and radiant.
Unlike it’s predecessors on the UK High Street Sleek MakeUP’s high coverage, Be Beautiful Blemish Balm range includes shades specifically for fair and darker skin tones.

What’s inside the BB Cream: Enriched with red algae extract which provides anti ageing properties and protein peptides that work to repair the skin, this tube of wonder contains Vitamin C that
brightens the complexion leaving your skin with a youthful and luminous finish whilst the Vitamin E protects the skin from early stages of UV light damage and reduces the the formation of free radicals that could lead to premature ageing. The jojoba oil provides a moisturising formula that creates a smooth and flawless base, concealing imperfections whilst preventing discolouration and dehydration lines.

Containing SPF15, this multi-functional BB cream not only works hard to nourish and conceal imperfections it also protects the skin from harmful rays.

How to use: Use as a primer or tinted moisturiser to provide an even skin tone and dewy base or build the Be Beautiful Blemish Balm to use as a high coverage foundation.

Tips and tricks: Apply the BB cream and wait for cream to settle before applying a second layer: Apply one layer of BB cream for medium coverage and two layers for high coverage.
The BB Cream can be used as a concealer. After applying the BB cream, spot apply to areas that require more coverage (redness, dark spots, acne marks etc) and lightly pat into your skin to blend.

Available in 4 shades: Fair, Light, Medium and Dark.

Be Beautiful Blemish Balm RRP: £8.99, 50ml

Available from 29th August on sleekmakeup.com

Ingredients:

It comes in a sleek black broad tube packaging with a flip cap..I have the shade Medium which is unfortunately too dark for me..I look toasted in the sun with this shade 😀

But I am amazed with the coverage..it is indeed a high coverage product..and as mentioned can be doubled up as a concealer too using second layer..it stays on for a good 6-7 hours and skin does not feel oily or shiny..you just need to touch up the T zone with powder if you have oily skin..

Here is it..as you can notice the color difference..

Unblended, Blended

The difference may not be much visible..but it looks too orangey in person..


Pros:

1. Provides medium to high coverage..you can skip your concealer and foundation.
2. Stays for a good 6-7 hours..and gives a dewy finish..only the T zone is required to be touched up for oily/combination skin.
3. Has SPF 15.
4. Has red algae, jojoba oil and a few other good ingredients.
5. Does not have a pink or grey tint like the true BB creams and no whitish cast too.
6. 50 ml would last long.
7. Works as a primer too as claimed..it does give a smooth finish and lets the foundation stay a little longer.

Cons:

1. The product gets collected at the opening.
2. Only 4 shades available..and Medium is too dark whereas Light may be a tad lighter..there are 2 more shades required between Medium and Light.
3. Available online.
4. Has parabens.

Overall I do like the texture, smoothness and coverage of the product..one of those high coverage products that give a smooth finish…and can be used as a primer, concealer, tinted moisturiser, foundation..as you like it..I would surely love to try the Light shade, if its not too light for me, that is. I wish SleekMakeUp came with more shades in this..

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

The product is waterproof, it doesn’t smudge and it is even safe for the eyes since it is dermatologist tested. Complete your look with lots of Eyeconic Curling Mascara. The mascara gives the eyes an intense black finish and comes equipped with a curling brush that helps give curves to your lashes. It is also enriched with D-Panthenol – a moisturizer which keeps lashes soft and smooth. The product makes the eyes look brighter and adds a perfect sparkle to your entire look.
