This requires the use of a high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpener to sharpen properly. Using poor quality sharpeners or stationery pencil sharpeners will damage the tip and the pencil.

Plum is always free of parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, SLS, DEA and PABA

MRP: Rs.425/- for 1.2g

It is recommended to buy with a dual sharpener they stock which is priced at Rs.125/- They also have Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal which is priced the same but meant for very sensitive eyes, so those who have super sensitive eyes should go for the latter.

The sharpener is also purple but has neon green cap which is hygienic and safe from dust, etc. It sharpens the kajal perfectly and can also be used for other eye pencils and lip crayons.

It comes in this purple and black packaging and in sharpenable form. It is super jet black, very pigmented and gives a good colour in one swipe, it does smudge if you smudge it immediately but within 1-2 minutes it sets and doesn’t budge at all.

It is waterproof and requires a very good makeup remover to take it off completely. I have used it on my upper lash line here, it stays for about 8-9 hours on my upper lash line and even longer, it just fades a bit post that but still does not smudge untill I take it off with a makeup remover.

Here I have used it on the waterline, it does smudge a bit on the waterline but stays intense for 4-5 hours after which it fades a bit but doesn’t go away completely which is amazing for my super watery eyes, coz no kajal stays more than 2-3 hours before fading on my waterline.

I have loved the Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate the most and found it the most water proof, long staying and smudge resistant amongst all kajals in the market, I would give this the 2nd place coz it comes super close in many aspects but price wise, this definitely is a winner. Also both are manufactured by Schwan-Stabilo Cosmetics in Germany which makes the best eye pencils. Even Kryolan Ikonic and Sugar Cosmetics Kajal are manufactured by the same company, I believe even Faces Cosmetics Eye Pencils.

At 425, it is very economical and you can sharpen and use it many times. I don’t prefer wearing it on upper lash line often as it gives a thicker line and gets blunt and round when used even once on the upper lash line but for waterline, it is perfect and can be used a couple of times before sharpening. Sharpening does lead to wastage as in all sharpenable pencils but is good for hygienic reasons. Also I do agree on it having more quantity than twist up kajals as they are mostly 0.31g, but here some product also goes waste in sharpening, still you get more qty than twist up ones.

Overall I would say, it is one of the best kajals in India currently and I highly recommend trying this out. If no kajal stays long on you and you have watery eyes like me, this will. I only wish the sharpener came along with the kajal and one wouldn’t have to buy it separately shelling 125 bucks extra.

Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water Review

By Lovleen

Hello beauties,

This my very first review out here and I’m super excited! And the product that I’m going to review is Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water. Today this product will complete a month in my house and I’m pretty happy about that, because I never thought that such a small bottle would come a long way. Still I have about ½ of the product left in the bottle, which definitely says a lot about its value for money features.

Product Description: Silky, smooth and shiny hair; these are the three things to die for. I know that there are a plethora of products that claims to give you the best of the three, yet how many stand upto it? Talking about this product well, it is a nice water-like serum that is defined as miracle water! The product guarantees to give you bouncy, shiny and silky hair which would last all day long.

Directions for Use: Just take about 1-2 pumps as per your requirements and evenly rub it in your fingers. Then spread your hands across damp or dried hair to get the best results. Never rinse the product as it is a leave on treatment.

Product Quantity and Price: Rs. 159 for 100ml

Shelf Life: 2 years!

Packaging: The product comes in a pump bottle pack which is quite easy to use. It pumps out just the right amount of serum which avoids over application or wastage too. In addition to that the transparent plastic cap and the pump lock system protects the serum.
Texture: The texture of the serum is perfect; it is neither too runny nor to thick. This is why applying it on the hair is a cakewalk. Even when I’m am in a hurry I just pump the bottle twice and get the adequate amount needed to cover my hair, so basically it’s as simple as it can get!

Key Ingredients: The product contains Water, Mineral Oil, Betaine, Isparaffin, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance, Panthenol, Silk extracts, Jojoba extracts, Seed Oil, Hexyl Cinnamal, Laureth-7, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloydimethyltaurate, Panthenyl Ethyl and Methylisothiazolinone

My Experience with Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water

I’m a workaholic with no time to take care of my hair, so with such a tight schedule I really wanted something which would magically work on my hair, so that all the hard work will be done by the product. And this search came to an end with Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water. Just as the name of this product, it works miraculously on my hair helping me to maintain its vibrancy and shine. It’s been almost two months that I’m using it and yes I have nothing to complain at all.

Pros:

Applying the product is quite easy
The packaging and pump tube is excellent
Love the smell and texture of the product
Can be applied on both damp and dry hair
Leaves the hair smooth and silky after application
Value for money because 100ml will go more than two months!
Travel friendly too, as I carry it almost everywhere for giving a finishing touch to my hair

Cons:

It does take time to work on too dry and frizzy hair
Contains mineral oil
Availability

Rating: 4/5 (You have to be patient for its magical results, so it loses 1 point for the delayed results)

Would I Recommend This Product To You? Why not try it as it is one of my all time favorite serum which suits almost any hair type.

Editor’s Note: How come I had never seen it yet?! Looks promising, I would love to try this out too. Nice review Lovleen 🙂

Makeup Tutorial: Fall/Winter Smokey Eyes | Indian Skin Tone

Hi guys,

I created this deep green/burgundy matte smokey eyes which is fall appropriate using the Starlooks September Revival Kit. Though it has matte bright pink lipstick, I would pair this smokey eyes with a deep wine/burgundy fall/winter lip color 🙂

Here is the video..

Read more about Starlooks in my previous post HERE. I love the idea of Starlooks having small, travel-sized products coz no one can finish their entire eye shadows and blushes, I can’t even finish lipsticks with the number I have! I absolutely loved the matte shadows and the matte lipstick. The eye shadow duo is perfect for fall and hence I created this fall, smokey look. Though the pigmentation is slightly low and you have to go over with the eye shadow 2-3 times. And it has deep teal green mini mascara which looks almost black though.

Starlooks Revival September 2015 Looksbook Mini Kit contains:

* Rawr Lipstick : A bold matte hot pink shade. But it might need a dash of lip balm beneath else it may end up looking a bit dry. My favourite in the palette, love this. Decently pigmented and completely matte

* Agave Eye Shadow duo: A mini matte eyeshadow duo, it features a red agave & green agave shade. Both are earthy shades, leaning towards an olive green and a burgundy. Since these are matte, they are not very pigmented and required me layer and go over my shadows 2-3 times, but they definitely gave a nice matte smokey look

* Flora Mascara: A deep teal mascara which looks almost black, love the brush, it gave nice volume to the lashes and did not clump much.

The eye shadow duo is very fall appropriate, I would have loved if the lipstick would have been a deep matte plum, the kit would be a perfect fall kit then. Though I love the lipstick, plum shade would have worked very well this eyeshadow duo.

MRP: $12 for membership, $29 for separate monthly boxes

MAC Matte Blush Raizin Review, Swatches, FOTD & Dupes

Written by Ishleen

Hello sweeties!

So here I am with my very first blush-review on New Love – Makeup! Thanks Bhumika mam, for giving me a chance! :*

Mac blush in Raizin is my second blush, and is perhaps the most impulse purchase till date! I went out to buy a good pair of shoes and got home this rather muddy looking blush (just in the pan) as I wanted a good bronzing powder!

Claiming to be a makeup addict and a beauty blogger for over two and a half years now, I could no more make excuses to avoid blushes just because they can look dominantly clownish if applied improperly! But after having tried my hand on a blush (also from mac) I knew I had to take a step forward with this dark brownish-red blush!

So coming to the main review now, keep on reading to know more!

About Mac Raizin Blush!

Claims: A blush that provides fantastic colour with ease and consistency.Designed by and for professionals, formulated to provide fantastic colour with ease and consistency. Applies evenly, adheres lightly to skin to achieve a natural-looking application of colour that stays put all day.

Dermatologist tested
Non-acnegenic

Directions: Choose appropriate brush and glide brush over the blush. Tap off excess powder and apply blush to skin using sweeping strokes and blend well.

Price: INR 1350 for 6 grams of product

This not so gorgeous looking blush belongs to the Mac permanent collection of blushes. Mac permanent line blushes are available in 5 stunning finishes, and Mac Raizin comes under the Matte finish; so you know it’s bound to be drop-dead pigmented no matter what!

Packaging: The regular line MAC blushes come in a very specific, matte black round casing with a see-through lid! The packaging looks quite sturdy, strong and is indeed very classy to look at! If there is one thing that a mac blush is not—it is flimsy! The lid is very sturdy and spill-proof as it has a click-sound lock mechanism—which is very reliable! One thing which I am not sure if I like or dislike about the MAC blushes is the fact that it does not come with any applicator! I guess that is not much of a con though, because those tiny little brushes which do come with blushes are somewhat useless—at least, most of the times if not always!

Shade: Okay, I’ll be true to you guys! One look at the blush, and I wanted to look away—real bad! But it just struck me that this kind of a shade was such which I could really use as a blush as well as a bronzer! And a double duty product always gets a yes from my brain! 😛

Outside
Indoors

So coming to the real hue, the blush appears to be a rather muddy looking red toned brown in the pan! Really unflattering, even for the most dusky Indian skins if you ask me! But on application, guys take my word for this; it was the most spectacular earthy-toned blush my cheeks had ever adorned! It looked so flattering that I had to pick it up—no second thoughts here! The blush has very beautiful and quite evident red undertones which add to the earthiness in the blush and makes it much more wearable!

Texture: okay all you blush-lover’s; when was the last time any MAC blush disappointed you? I can’t remember any such instance! Just like all iconic blushes from Mac, the texture of Raizin too is silky, almost satiny smooth—not at all chalky or too powdery despite being a powder blush!

Pigmentation and Colour Pay-Off: Coming from the matte collection of finishes—this blush is the not the one to be trusted with mediocre pigmentation! This is crazy pigmented—like insanely pigmented! Talking of the colour pay off—one swipe of my finger, and the earthy reddish brown powder covers up the entire fingertip and does not allow the skin to peep through—yes it is THAT pigmented!

Staying Power: I have never had a problem with the staying power when it comes to Mac—and Mac blushes generally stay put on my oily cheeks for a good 6 hours! Mac raisin is a bit different in this aspect—but different in a good way though! Being on the darker side of the spectrum, it stays on for a tad bit longer duration—it stayed “even” atop my foundation and powder for more than 7-8 hours while fading evenly! And this was without using a primer—I can only guess how much it will stay had I used a primer underneath my base!

My Take on Mac Raizin Blush

I am glad that my impulse purchase did not fail me this time—as it did cost me a lot! 😛 Being an Indian skin type, I know that this blush will work for us desi beauties fantastically! And as it is a powder blush, it did suit my oily, acne prone skin very well! Secondly, like most Indians, I too have very prominent yellow undertones and the red undertones in the blush do help in accentuating my natural skin tone! I just need to dip my brush very lightly in the pan and use it on the apples of my cheeks, blending it towards the hairline during summer months! But I plan to use it in my hollows during the upcoming fall as I like more bronzed kind of a skin in winters!

Do not care to swirl the brush in the pan as the pigmentation is such that the slightest overdoing will offer no scope for forgiveness! All in all if used judiciously, this blush is a go to for Indian skin tones!

Though the most underrated of blushes in the market, this one is the most muted, neutral blush especially for deeper Indian skin tones! And if you are fair to medium, or have skin similar to mine, more power to you as this particular blush will double up as both a blush and a matte powder bronzer which is very flattering!

Pros:

  • Silky-smooth texture
  • Matte brown with red undertones
  • Tremendously pigmented
  • Long-staying
  • Fades out evenly
  • Classy packaging
  • Can double up as a bronzing powder
  • Easily blendable

Cons:

  • Can be a bit expensive for some
  • Will look ruddy on very pale skin tones
  • Does not come with an applicator

Will I recommend?

If you have a native Indian kind of warm skin with yellow undertones—man, go for it! This will give you the most natural earthy kind of warm glow you could only think of! A very wearable blush especially for the deeper skins! Do not let the pan frighten you with its muddy brown appearance—it’s red undertones are indeed very flattering for the Indian skin!

Rating: 4.3/5

Editor’s note: Thanks Ishleen for this lovely review, the blush is perfect for deeper skin tones.

Dupe Alert: Few dupes of MAC Raizin blush are La Femme Blush in Sienna, NYX Cream Blush in Tan (Milani Sunset Beach is said to be a dupe but it is slightly on the orangey side)

OOTD/Lookbook: 3 Casual Outfits

Hi guys,

I had not done the 3 outfits series since a long time, see previous ones HERE, HERE and HERE

These are the outfits I wore recently for the events I attended, I have also done a lookbook video 🙂

Outfit 1:

I have seen this long maxi slit tops a lot in the past few months, I never found them in Forever 21 and there was on StalkBuyLove which was almost OOS every time. Finally I found this blue and purple ombre slit top and it is just perfect, except for the length for me if I wear it with flats. I absolutely love the fit, comfort, color, fabric, everything about this top and if you are looking for a long maxi slit top, Stalkbuylove has quite a few options now.

I paired it with this silver, chunky diamante neck piece from Happiness Boutique, it somehow just didn’t sit right on me, no idea why :/ But I love it and it looks amazing on such plain tops/tees. Happiness Boutique also offers ‘Free Shipping’ and have a ‘Customer Reward Program’

The nude sling bag with gold accents is staple throughout and the tan brogues.

Top: StalkBuyLove
Denims: Levi’s
Necklace: Happiness Boutique
Sling: Accessorize
Shoes: Footin
Watch: Daniel Wellington (I have a 15% off discount code till 15th Dec, use ‘BHUMIKA’ at checkout)

Outfit 2:

A shirt dress again, this time it’s beige, white and black color blocked shirt dress. What I like about this dress is that it can even be worn as a cape. The belt defines the waist and I paired it with the same bag and shoes, but with my Michael Kors watch. I wore this for the Woods new Collection showcase.

Dress: StalkBuyLove
Bag: Accessorize
Shoes: Footin
Watch: Michael Kors

Outfit 3:

This is my favourite, bright yellow A-line dress. I absolutely love the lower print, it is quite bright and a statement in itself. I paired it with the same nude sling and my Daniel Wellington watch. I went for strappy block heels since it is more dressy. I was going to wear it for The Body Shop gift wrapping workshop event but I had to run errands that day and this dress is slightly tighter and was not the most comfortable, so I had to change. The only problem is the fit, even though I ordered it as per the size mentioned, it is tight for me. If you plan to buy this, go for a size up.

Dress: Shein
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Bag: Accessorize
Shoes: Shown HERE, HERE and HERE

I hope you liked the looks, do let me know your favourite in the comments below 🙂

Soft Smokey Eyes Tutorial inspired by Mickey Contractor feat. MAC Cosmetics

Hi guys,

MAC Cosmetics is celebrating 35 years of Mickey Contractor in Bollywood with a special video that has Mickey creating the iconic smoky eye look which has become extremely huge and popular all over!

Take a look at it here..

Remember ‘Chalte Chalte’, the Sharukh- Rani Mukherjee starrer? Rani Mukherjee’s makeup in the movie was done by Mickey Contractor and it was this smokey eye in majority of the scenes, plus it looked fabulous on Rani’s brown eyes.

I was asked to create my version of this smokey eyes using a few MAC products. I got MAC Blacktrack gel liner, carbon eye shadow and Feline Crayon Kohl.

Here is a small video on how I did my eyes..

I started with MAC Blacktrack gel liner as a base and smudged it with a pencil brush, went over it with MAC Carbon eye shadow. Blended everything with a matte brown eye shadow. Layered the black again with the MAC Feline Crayon Kohl and smudged it again.

Used Feline on the waterline and smudged it and used the matte brown eye shadow with a pencil brush to smudge the kohl along the lower lash line.

Highlighted with a matte off white eye shadow and the inner corners with a shimmery gold shadow, then curled my eye lashes and applied lots of mascara.

I went ahead and did my face normally, skipped the powder for a dewy effect and also used a soft highlighter on the high points including centre of the forehead and nose. Applied an MLBB rosy brown shade to complete the look.

Excuse the little redness in one eye, something irritated my eye :/

I hope you liked the look, do let me know in the comments below 🙂

#DonateASelfie to Spread Love & Cheer

Hi guys,

Today I am talking about something which we do all the time these days i.e taking selfies! Everywhere I see people taking selfies or clicking pics with family and friends, smart phones have made our life really easy.

I remember when I was in college, people used to hardly have phones forget phones with camera. Then the camera phones were introduced and I was so happy! I used to have more than 1000 pics in my phone in those times when the memory was also restricted. I always loved clicking pictures and when I first bought my camera, I used to take it along on all my family and friends’ picnics or college festivals or for every friend’s birthday. We used to celebrate every friend’s birthday in the group with surprises being planned days before and then the venue, cake and what to do the entire day. It was so much fun and I have all the pictures captured in my albums thanks to my camera.

Even though most of us had smart phones, the quality of the camera was not upto the mark to capture special moments and hence I had to lug around my digital camera with me all the time. Not that I am complaining, when I look back at the pictures, I get lost in the memories and feel so happy.

And the problem with having everyone in the picture being to find someone to click it or use a timer but then you don’t know if all are fitting in the frame. Thanks to the technology, we got new phones and with front camera where we can click our own pictures without being dependent on someone.

The latest phones not only have an amazing rear camera, but an equally powerful and competent front camera too, case in point being the new Asus Zenfone Selfie. It has 13MP front camera and front flash, and it is the first in this category I believe.

Asus has this #DonateASelfie campaign where they made this video capturing selfies of people of different age, genre and with their friends and family. I won’t lie, this video made me shed a tear, it is one of the most beautifully captured video I have seen in a long time.


I have a very special selfie moment too. On the day of my wedding, when my friends came to greet me on the stage, we managed to click a selfie and it turned out so amazing. It is one of my favourite pictures yet, and even though I have more than 700 pictures from my wedding, this selfie will always be special and hold an important place in my life.

I donate this selfie to my husband and my friends for always being there for me, no matter what. And this picture shows the happiness, smiles and the bond we all share beautifully.

Have your donated your selfie yet? Share your favourite selfie on any social media with #DonateASelfie

Unboxing & Review: November 2015 Fab Bag

Hi guys,

I received the November Fab Bag today evening and recorded it immediately, edited and uploaded it, this has been the quickest I have done a video 😀

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.699/- per month

Fab Bag is a monthly subscription bag where you get 4 (sometimes a 5th bonus) products. This month’s theme is ‘Up Your Game The Expert Edition’. I am not sure why the theme name coz none of the products match the theme.

It’s a black quilted bag this time and the quality is pretty good.

The Fab Post and the contents card..

Products in the bag:

  • Seasoul Dead Sea Minerals & Botanicals Massage Candle- Full size- Rs.300/- for 50ml
  • Ayorma Fairness & Cell Renew Night Cream- Rs.195/- for 15g (Rs.649/- for 50g)
  • Lollipops Paris Matte Concealer in Biscuit- Full size- Rs.800/- for 5.5ml
  • Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water- Full size- Rs.250/- for 50ml

The Ayorma night cream comes in a small jar which is good for travel, the quantity is pretty good but I would have loved a 25-30g jar. Lollipops Concealer in the shade Biscuit does not quite match my skin tone and is a bit orangey, I will try and figure if I can work around it for my under eyes.

They had an option to pick your own skincare product like they had the option to pick a makeup product last month. I chose the Kama Ayurveda Rose Water. I thought of the Iraya Serum but I am yet to try out my previous one but I have heard quite good things about it, so if you have not tried the Iraya Serum before and get an option, go for the Iraya one. I like Kama Ayurveda Rose  Water and I love face mists, so I don’t mind having more of them.

The Seasoul Massage Candle is the most interesting product in this month’s box, I have never tried a massage candle before and looking forward to try it.

The value of the products for me come to Rs.1550/- but since the concealer which itself is Rs.800/- is not a good match, it doesn’t turn out to be value for money.

I am not sure if they are sending different shades of concealer to everyone but there are just 3 shade options according to the Fab Post. The other 3 products are good but does not make the bag value for money.

You can skip the November Fab Bag, not a must have in my opinion.

But if you would like to try anyway, you can book your bag HERE

What do you think about the November Fab Bag? What products did you receive?
