I love the concept of Frontcover kits..they have some pretty handy and amazingly combined kits..like Desk to Date, Party Queen, Kissogram, Moondance, etc..and they include everything from eyeshadows to lip gloss to applicators and brushes..

The True Colours Kit is a part of their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection..and I loved this kit the most out of all..and since these were at discounts when I bought it, a pretty good deal too..and they have reasonable shipping also..around £4..only hitch is I had to pay customs :/ God..this customs..I hate it 🙁

I am using this from the last 3-4 months..I know its very late..but then there are many things I have been using from more than a year and yet to review :p

Its shaped like a book..and made up of thick cardboard..and has plastic cover with the shadows shape so that it fits exactly and nothing gets spoilt..only issue is shadows and lip glosses can be mixed :/

Starting with the eyeshadows, the kit has 11 eye shadows..6 satiny baked and 5 matte normal..all are super pigmented..and smooth to touch and apply..even the matte ones..are pretty silky and pigmented..and all shadows are my type..taupes, greys, olive green, brown, peach, orange..I love all the shades in this kit..

These are all just one swipe of shadows in the swatches !

Then there are 5 lip glosses..which are more like lip creams..super creamy and pigmented and thick enough..two layers of it would give perfect opaque lipstick like coverage..only issue is except the last two shades..rest are too pale for our skin tone..

The two eyeshadow brushes are pretty good..the fluffy brush is like so multi tasking…works both for applying shadows and blending too..and a retractable lip brush too..the double ended mascara for upper and lower lashes..pretty decent..

Two nail polishes..one pale milky nude and one holographic blue..and a eye pencil..deep bluish steel grey with silver shimmer..has a smudger on one side..gives that soft smokey grey eye look 😀

All in all..this is a perfect travel palette..you may need a lipstick separately..but rest everything is in this kit..even the orange eyeshadow makes a pretty blush..if you dont want to carry one separately..

If you travel a lot..I did surely and highly recommend this palette..and even if you don’t, I will recommend it 😀 Coz this is total value for money..and excellent in terms of quality..you can check out other kits too..they have many different kits and variants..

I will do some EOTDs and looks with this kit..hopefully soon..

Lotus Herbals Natural Blend Swift Make-Up Review, Swatches

Lotus Herbals Natural Blend Swift Make-Up SPF15 Natural Beige Review, Swatches

What the Company Claims: All-in-one make-up that works like a foundation, a concealer & a compact, with sun protection. Its smooth application creates an even skin tone, conceals imperfections & blends easily for a matte effect, without caking or clogging pores.

MRP: Rs. 249/- for 10g

Shades Available:

  • 710 Honey Beige (Darkest)
  • 720 Natural Beige (Mid)
  • 730 Creamy Peach (Lightest)
I have 720 Natural Beige..the mid one..its a little orangish for my skin tone though..

It comes in this twist up stick form..with a red and golden plastic body..though the plastic cap fits well..its not very sturdy.

The stick is super creamy and glides on well..it has an artificial sweet smell which I did not like..

This does not give enough coverage..its quiet sheer..works decent for an under eye concealer but if you have heavy dark circles..won’t work that way too..definitely not as foundation..it would give hardly any coverage.

Unblended
Blended

It does transfer on tissue and kerchief too…it works well as an under eye base..and pops up color..but since it very creamy..it would crease sooner too..
Pros:

1. Works in many ways.
2. Has SPF15.
3. Travel friendly.
4. Economical..and the qty of 10g is quite a lot too..
5. Works as base for eye shadows.

6. Conceals light dark circles.
7. Did not break me out..but since its creamy..oily skin definitely needs to set it with powder.

Cons:

1. Not much coverage.
2. Only three shades to choose from.
3. Has a sweet artificial smell..which I detest.
4. Transfers on tissues and kerchiefs.
5. Wear time is just 4-5 hours max.

Overall I found it pretty ok..if you have dry skin and do not need much coverage..you can give this a try..but if you need coverage..this would not work for you.
