You know the saying, ‘Inner beauty is great but a little mascara never hurts.’ Well, I say the more the better.

Top 10 Foundations for Oily Skin in India, Prices, Buy Online

By Sanchita

Summer is almost here and it is just a matter of a month now. With summer, comes back the oiliness, greasy feel and of course, the infamous breakouts. Therefore, the oily skinned beauties are always in hunt of oil-free foundation that would not only keep the oiliness at bay but also stay long. The oil secretion increases with the passage of time and the foundation along with the blush and bronzers also starts melting down, creating a big mess. Hence, choose the foundation very cautiously. With so new launched every month and the discontinuity of several products, it is very difficult to choose one product. Therefore, I have compiled the 10 best foundations for oil free look with various coverage. Let’s take a look at it.

1. Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation – 525 INR (BUY HERE for 417) (Review coming soon)

The newest baby from the Maybelline. The brand is exceptional well in bringing out great products at a very budget friendly price tag. The foundation comes in 6 shades and most of them are warm toned, will specifically suit the Indian skin tones. They provide a medium to buildable coverage (bit not heavy) and gives a satin-matte finish. It makes the pores look slightly blurry and soft and has a very good oil control factor. For the price, it is wonderful choice for oil skin.

2. Lakme Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse – 725 INR (BUY HERE)

Another great foundation for oily skin from the very own desi brand Lakme. It is has the light whipped mousse texture, as the name suggest and blends on the skin like anything. The texture is so good that even a beginner would have no issues with the product. The coverage is sheer to medium with a soft matte finish and the presence of silicones aids in smoothening the pores. It looks just like your skin and great for everyday use.

3. MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 – (APPROX. 1800 INR)

One of the popular and remarkable foundation of all times, is the MAC Studio Fix Fluid. MAC can provide you the best shade card and seldom people go wrong with the shades. The foundation has light weight silky texture, blends really smoothly and has a very good coverage. It also has certain special skin-conditioning ingredients yet looks completely matte. It absorbs and disperse oil and gives an airbrushes look to the skin. The wear time long and considered the best foundation for brides.

Bhumika has already tried, tested and reviewed the foundation and she believes it is a great foundation for oily skin. It has 11 shades with adequate warm and cool tones. The texture is nice to work and it is advisable by her to blend in with a damp brush or sponge. It feels completely matte on the skin, there is no shininess or dewiness with it. It gives a nice medium to heavy coverage without blocking the pores at all. It has SPF 18 but it doesn’t gives any whitish cast and also photographs well.

It feels extremely light to wear it and doesn’t suffocate the pores at all. There isn’t any issue of breakouts and the foundation has several warm shades for the Indian skin. It gives a moderate to buildable coverage but won’t work much on stubborn acne marks. It has a soft dewy finish but not oily at all. It has an excellent wear time of 8-9hours.

It doesn’t oxidizes underneath a sunscreen and has a staying power of 5-6 hours.

A full sized Catrice Eye Pencil, I love smokey eye pencils which are perfect for those 2 minute makeup days. I am quite excited to try this and might review this soon 🙂

I am currently using the Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil and Beautifying Cream. Though the original bottle is not that big to carry, but these 3ml vials are perfect for travel. I am loving the oil and these vials are definitely coming along with me, on my next trip 😀

Hedonista Chocolate Face Souffle is a chocolate and clay based mask, now who doesn’t love chocolate. Never tried this brand but the packaging and the mask look super yummy and nice.

Estee Lauder Pleasures is a classic, and I absolutely love its smell.

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau De Parfum Review

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau De Parfum Review

Estée Lauder unveils Modern Muse, a new fragrance that is inspired by the intriguing duality of today’s woman and complements every aspect of her dynamic life. This fragrance captures the essence of a Modern Muse with a Lush Floral Woody scent, a true statement in modern luxury that conveys confidence, style and creativity with a modern, youthful attitude.

Be an inspiration. Experience the fragrance that captures your style, your confidence, your creative spirit. An alluring contrast of sparkling florals and sleek, sensual woods.
Two distinctively different accords—Sparkling Jasmine Accord and Sleek Woods Accord—provide an intriguing dual impression. It’s a true innovation in fragrance design, as complex and fascinating as the woman who inspires it.

THE INSPIRATION
Modern Muse was inspired by the complexity of a modern woman, with the same dynamic contrasts as her life and her personality. Her creative energy and magnetic femininity are captured by its multi-faceted, sparkling floralcy. Her sleek style, strength and sensuality by its sleek woods.

Who is a Modern Muse? She’s confident and independent, soft and strong, feminine yet dynamic. Stylish and original, she inspires everyone she meets—without saying a word.

FEELING: CONFIDENT, INDEPENDENT, INSPIRING

FRAGRANCE TYPE: LUSH FLORAL WOODY

NOTES:
EXOTIC MANDARIN
HONEYSUCKLE NECTAR
DEWY PETALS
JASMINE SAMBAC
CHINA ABSOLUTE
TUBEROSE FLEUR FIRNAT
FRESH LILY
PATCHOULI COEUR
PATCHOULI CRIST
AMBER WOOD
SOFT MUSK
MADAGASCAR VANILLA SFE

A New Concept in Fragrance

Composed of subtle contrasts and bold contradictions, Modern Muse reveals layers of strength and softness in an appealing creative tension. Its innovative “dual-impression” structure invites women to connect with the fragrance through two contrasting aspects:

Sparkling Jasmine Accord: This facet of the fragrance captures the creative energy and magnetic femininity of a modern woman. Exotic Mandarin and tempting Honeysuckle Nectar send a spark of energy through a youthful sensation of Dewy Petals. Two extractions of Jasmine Sambac, including one new to the perfumery palette, Jasmine Sambac China Absolute, bring luminous texture to the feminine bouquet of rich Tuberose Fleur and Fresh Lily.

Sleek Woods Accord: Her sleek style, strength and sensuality are expressed through this innovative blend of two Patchouli essences wrapped in the creaminess of Madagascar Vanilla, rich Amber Wood and soft Musk – all of which craft an undeniably sensual finish.

MRP: Rs. 7900/- for 100ml & Rs.5900/- for 50ml

To start with, I am in love with the packaging! How beautiful does that bow look!! There is no separate cap and you need to directly spray it. The complete soft pink and gold with a hint of black on the bow looks very classy.

Coming to the scent, I have always loved musky ones. Those warm vanilla, woody, musky kinds. Too floral or fruity is not my taste. When I first smelled this perfume, I was in complete awe of it.

Its the perfect blend of floral and woody. Not too woody and not too floral. It hits the right chord. If you are someone, who does not like too much floral, fruity scents but love the hint of it in between the woody, this is just perfect for you! Highly recommended.

Rating: 4/5

Anniversary October My Envy Box Review

Anniversary October My Envy Box Review

If you guys don’t know what is My Envy Box yet, go HERE.

So My Envy Box completed one year and we have an anniversary box this month. Its curated by Vogue India in association with their Vogue Empower project.

Check out my previous months’ boxes:

MRP: Rs.850/-

Its a gold colored box this time for the anniversary month. I love the red symbol embossing on the gold and the new compact size boxes since last month.

What I got in my box:

 

  • Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover 5ml- Rs.1950/- for 125ml- Vogue Beauty Award Winner 2014. This is a good sample size.
  • SkinYoga Sandalwood Saffron Face Mask 5.67g small vial bottle- Rs.1395/- for 50g
  • Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum– 1.5ml x 2- Rs.5200/- for 30ml
  • Sebastian Potion 9 10ml- Rs.1450/- for 150ml
  • H2O+ Sea Salt Hydrating Body Butter 30ml- Rs.1450/- for 250ml
  • Tatouage Ephemere gold string tattoo– Its a temporary tattoo created by Annelise Toraille

I also got the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief card but did not get the sample. It was anyways a 1.5ml sachet.

I wish the Sebastian Potion 9 was 2 sachets and the Estee Lauder serum either a slightly bigger sample or more sachets. I am happy with the Clinique and H2O+ sample sizes and that tattoo looks super!

I did not get one sample but since it was a sachet, its fine. I wish that was a bigger size too!

The box also had L’Occitane Spa La Vie Credit coupon of Rs.1000/- and an Estee Lauder card to learn one of their 6 tricks and maybe get a sample (if available) at any of their counters. Would try to find an Estee Lauder counter and would update you guys.

Overall, there are 1-2 hits in the box this time. I was expecting much more. Perhaps even a surprise little piece of jewellery or something. Vogue could have added a magazine subscription or something on their behalf too!

You can request an invite for My Envy Box HERE.

Estee Lauder Introduces The Metallics New Pure Color

ESTÉE LAUDER INTRODUCES THE METALLICS NEW PURE COLOR
 
A brilliant new expression of color featuring the cool sheen of metal and the liquid light of lacquer
 
“When it comes to color, there are no limits. I like to have freedom. Metallic makeup does that.”
Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder
 
Imagine an incredible combination of the highest reflective shine and intensely desirable color to make eyes, lips and nails smolder – introducing The Metallics, a NEW Pure Color Collection from Estée Lauder. This surprisingly versatile collection of metallic finishes breaks boundaries and transforms like never before, with liquid-like shadows that saturate eyes, vinyl finishes that lacquer lips and hyper-chromatics that accessorize nails. Whether soft and pretty or bold and sexy, The Metallics uses a variety of unique reflective finishes to bring a new level of sophistication to multi-dimensional color.
METALLICALLY MAGNIFIED EYES
 
Play in a new dimension of amplified color with NEW Pure Color Instant Intense EyeShadow Trios. Like molten metal, the liquid-like texture melts onto the eyelids for a high-definition chromatic color impact. A creamy, silk-like formula glides on effortlessly releasing pure, brilliant color that stays true for 10 hours without creasing or fading.
 
The dazzling eyeshadows instantly transform from a soft powder to a silky liquid-like texture using slurry technology to give the powder a unique silk-satin feel.True Vision™ Technology – a crystalline (polymer) laminate magnifies and amplifies color for intense clarity and vibrancy, while a unique blend of optics capture light for a reflective flash of shine.
 
Designed to be applied dry for a refined look or wet for a high metallic finish, the NEW Pure Color Instant Intense EyeShadow Trios infuse metallic into any look for an added dimension of sophistication. Featuring three brilliant shades, each trio is a total eye look in one: base, contour, and highlight for mistake-proof application.  Extremely blendable and color-true, the expertly coordinated shades look stunning on all skin tones and range from soft chrome shimmers to dramatic metallic finishes.
 
LIQUID MOLTEN LIPS
 
NEW Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquer drenches lips in an array of seductively rich lacquered hues, from sultry nudes to daring wines.  Combining the creamy coverage of a lipstick and the high-shine of a gloss, this opulently pigmented lacquer creates a lusciously brilliant and glass-like finish. Estée Lauder’s True Vision™ Technology provides the ultimate color payoff, while multi-functional polymers seal in moisture and form a color stay barrier to keep brilliant color and impeccable shine looking fresh, supple and vibrant for a long-lasting 6 hour wear. A new moisture-infused formula also replenishes lips for a rich, cushioned feel that radiates from within.  For application, an exclusive paddle, with a bell curve design, dips in the center creating a reservoir effect to release the perfect amount of lacquer that glides onto lips with precision.
 
A hybrid of vividly rich color and brilliant metallic shine meet in six NEW Limited Edition Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipsticks. Exclusive True Vision™ Technology provides rich color that wraps lips in lustrous shine, while a tri-complex of refined metalized gold and silver pearls envelop lips to create an amplified chromatic finish. This high-impact fusion of pigments and pearls create brilliant shades that work across all different skin tones, while the moisture-rich formula keeps lips feeling soft and conditioned all day.  
 
CHROMATICALLY HUED NAILS
The evolution of heavy metal reaches nails in a unique brushed, reflective finish with the NEW Limited Edition Pure Color Vivid Shine Nail Lacquer.  Born out of a fusion of refined pearls and aluminum platelets, this new high-impact finish saturates nails in a flash richly pigmented chromatic color.  The multi-faceted spectrum of color-enriched metalized shades range from dusty rose gold to smokey deep platinum, creating a new dimension of confident style and expressive attitude.
                                                                                                  
Eyes (Not Launching in India):
Pure Color Instant Intense EyeShadow Trio in Smoked Chrome

Estee Lauder Introduces New Pure Color Cello Shots

ESTĒE LAUDER INTRODUCES NEW PURE COLOR CELLO SHOTS

A playful collection that blushes cheeks and washes lips with a shot of
cellophane-sheer gel color

“This season, I’ve been working a lot with what I call “acqua color”.
It’s a gentle, watery look with just a touch of bright, vibrant color.”  – Tom Pecheux

This Spring, discover a new way to play with color – introducing NEW Pure Color Cello Shots.  This collection of soft gels and water-light finishes by Estée Lauder and Creative Makeup Director for Estée Lauder, Tom Pecheux, washes lips and illuminates cheeks with a subtle glow of fresh color for a look of radiant, effervescent beauty.

Inviting women to mix and match fresh hues with fun innovative formulas, NEW Pure Color Cello Shots includes NEW Pure Color Cheek Rush to flush cheeks with a sheer stain. Through revolutionary, watery gel finishes, this playful array of bright, fluid tones surprises and delights the senses with long-lasting, lightweight and comfortable wear.

A Rush of Sheer Color for Cheeks

Designed to brighten and excite, NEW Pure Color Cheek Rush is a lightweight, innovative, transparent gel that provides cheeks with a pop of sheer, juicy color for a fresh-faced look.  Its sensational water-based formula is cool to the touch and leaves cheeks feeling hydrated through an infusion of natural extracts and moisturizing ingredients.  Tip: For a “just pinched” look, quickly blend a tiny drop of this silky liquid-gel in a circular motion on to the apples of cheeks.

Oil-free and non-acnegenic as well as dermatologist and ophthalmologist-tested NEW Pure Color Cheek Rush is  packaged in a new, shade-matched, high-gloss finish pump bottle with a silkscreened golden collar and Estée Lauder logo.

Estee Lauder Introduces Pure Color Stay On Shadow Paints

ESTĒE LAUDER INTRODUCES PURE COLOR STAY-ON SHADOW PAINTS

BY TOM PECHEUX, ESTÉE LAUDER CREATIVE MAKEUP DIRECTOR

“I wanted to experiment with texture and create a new way of playing with makeup. Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints are great for mixing and are an especially easy way to apply makeup – there are infinite possibilities.”

Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

Estée Lauder introduces the unparalleled texture, extreme performance and intense color in creme eyeshadow, Pure Color Stay-On Shadow Paint. Whether it is a bold, right off the runway flash of color or a soft, sophisticated wash of watercolor, this high style collection will drench eyes in a silky smooth buildable mousse creme and captivate with rich pigments to create eye-catching looks that last all day!

BUILDABLE TEXTURE
Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints include a range of long lasting hues in a creamy and richly pigmented formula that glides onto the lids with mousse-like softness. Worn alone or mixed to create infinite seductive and sophisticated looks, the truly versatile formula features buildable pigments that envelop lids for seamless, stunning depths of color.

PURE PERFORMANCE
With unbelievable 12-hour wear, the hybrid texture is comfortable, non-creasing and non-fading.  Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints wrap lids in a smooth creme that glides on and blends easily for pure pigments and light reflecting  pearls that stay shimmering all day and well into the night.

PURE PIGMENTS
Infused with True Vision Technology – a unique concept of wrapping concentrated pigments into a crystalline laminate to create a multidimensional look – color is amplified and magnified with a glowing metallic finish. Mousse-like creme lays down a layer of pure pigments to recreate and redefine eyes, while prismatic light reflecting pearls add dazzle to each shade, for glimmering effects ranging from a subtle sheen to a dazzling shimmer finish.

EYE ART: MIX. MATCH. MESMERIZE (SELECT MARKETS ONLY).  
Eyes are the canvas, now create. Complete your makeup art kit with Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara and Double Wear Stay-in-Place Gel Eyeliner in two limited edition hues, Bold Cobalt and Extreme Emerald.  Partnered with Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paints, lids are dramatically shaded, lashes are decadently decorated and eyes are lavishly lined.  Choose one shade or mix and match them all. It’s all about creating and playing with a paint box of bold and bright colors to create a mesmerizing look.
