Indian Makeup Tutorial for College/Work | Drugstore
Hi guys,
I am doing this simple college/work appropriate makeup look using just 6-7 products. Also all products are drugstore and I have only use one makeup brush.
This look can be done in 5 minutes and is perfect for your everyday college/work.
That’s it. The blush is optional, you may or may not use it. Also you can go for any base i.e. any BB Cream/tinted moisturiser which works for your skin type and shade. You can also skip the concealer if you don’t have problematic skin or dark circles.
If you have oily skin, make sure you powder and if you have dry skin, you can just carry it along for touch up on T zone later.
I hope you like the look, do let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque Review
By Pallavi
Hello Lovelies,
Here I am back with yet another skin care product. By now you might have understood that I am a big skin care junkie. I buy more and more products of skin care than makeup. Because I really believe that healthy skin is the key to beautiful skin. And in summers I love to use face packs. After a long tiring day my skin becomes so pale and tired that I need something to boost and revive my skin.
And that is the time when I am in urgent need of face packs. And this is one of those purchases – Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque.
Price: Rs. 449 for 100 ml.
Ingredients:
Directions to use: Begin by splashing some water on your face. Now, squeeze out the mask from the tube. Dilute the mask a bit with water. Spread the mask all over your face. Let it dry for some time say 15-20 minutes. Now, rinse away your face with water. You may be in need of more water for this clay based face mask. So, wash your face thoroughly.
What the brand Claims: Like the special clay masks that were a favourite with the Egyptian goddess Cleopatra, our French Red Clay mask never fails to soften your skin, preserve its complexion and impart a natural glow. It is a gentle paste of French Red Clay, which is an absolute powerhouse of iron and other minerals! Best suited for normal to oily skin types, it cleanses, detoxifies and exfoliates the skin, leaving it highly refreshed and toned. The clay is blended with Rose oil, virgin Coconut oil and the balancing Cedar wood essential oils. As the oils further nourish the skin, Turmeric powder and Sandalwood give it a distinctive radiance.
My experience with Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque:
The Packaging of Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque is very simple and travel friendly. It comes in a medium sized tube packaging which has product details written all over it. The tube has a wide cap at the top which needs to be twisted so that the face mask comes out. You need to squeeze the tube lightly. A very little product is required per usage. So, a single tube will easily last you for months.
Now, coming to the texture part. The clay based face masque is quite hard and not that easy to spread. So, you need to dilute it with water so that it spreads easily. After spreading it on face it will take some more time than the usual face masque to dry. Once it dries you can notice a clean and clear skin. You can also notice some redness around your nose area in case you have a sensitive skin.
And if you have a dry skin then you should pat some moisturiser on your face immediately after washing using this face pack. Yes, girls this face pack is a bit drying. But all clay based face masques are i believe.
Good about Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque
1. Goodness of natural ingredients
2. Travel friendly packaging
3. Price affordable
4. Little product required per usage
5. Cleanses face effectively
6. No breakouts
Bad about Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque
1. Not easily available
2. Dries out your skin too much
Rating – 4/5
Editor’s Note: I love clay based face masks Pallavi, this sounds good!

Starlooks Looksbook Mini August Resort Edition: Unboxing & Makeup Look
Hi guys,
So I received the August Looksbook Mini box a few days ago coz of the Indian post, but anyhoo I came up with this look with the box.
Let me start with telling you a bit about Starlooks Looksbook..

MRP: $12
In the Resort Edition, there is a cream water colour eyeshadow, an gold-orange blush and a gold highlighter duo and a pale peach mini lipstick.
The eyeshadow is creamy and blends easily with eyes but it sets super quick and it was a little difficult to blend it quickly, but once set, it doesn’t budge. It’s a light moss green shade with loads of glitter, it shows up like a hint of green with just lots of shimmer. It’s a perfect shade for highlighting the inner corners.
The blush and the highlighter duo are my favourites, love the golden orange blush and it looks beautiful on warmer skin tones like ours, also the gold highlighter is very pretty and perfect for Indian weddings or a night time look.
The lipstick is very light and washes me out completely, it will only work on paler skin tones. I had to use a warmer, brighter orange to balance the color.
This is the look I came up with..
I have also done a video on this on my Youtube..
I think it’s a nice concept of having travel sized or mini makeup products in a kit, I totally agree on not being able to finish up makeup products. This blush-highlighter duo will definitely be a part of my travel kit now onwards. And at $12 monthly, it is pretty reasonable for 3 products.
You can subscribe HERE, they ship using USPS First Class Mail. Currently they don’t have the ‘India’ option but you can mail them at info@starlooks.com and they will figure out the shipping for you.
Do you like the Starlooks Looksbook concept? What do you think of it?
