MyGlamm Makeup Products Review & Demo

Hi guys,

Since many of you wanted to see the first impressions video of MyGlamm products, I obviously did one 🙂

I have used the Total Makeover FF Cream in Medium, Chisel It Palette in Showstopper and Perfect Curves Lip liner + Crayon in Debutante.

Buy MyGlamm products HERE

The packaging of all three products is really good. It’s sturdy and well built, palettes come with a mirror and the white gold theme looks nice.

Total Makeover FF Cream

5 in 1 Primer-Concealer-Foundation-Compact with SPF 30 & Skin Tone Corrector Palette

Claims: A 24-hour wear, oil-free foundation and concealer in one that achieves a flawless look that lasts all day.

Our Medium shade palette is suitable for women with a medium-fair/warm-beige to medium-golden/honey complexion.
For Warm Skin Tones : skin skews yellow, peachy or golden.

Our dual color correctors make it easy to personalize your correction solution.

Yellow Color Corrector

Orange Color Corrector

Foundation & Primer

Color Correctors: Yellow + Orange

Enhanced Properties

An all-in-one foundation with a long-lasting formula that fuses primer and foundation in one easy step! An amazing combination product for a flawless base that provides sheer to full buildable coverage. It includes a primer that prolongs wear for impeccable results. Also in the palette are two color correctors, yellow and orange, to smooth away small imperfections, uneven skin tone, discolorations and dark circles. Our precisely calibrated advanced European formula allows the product to melt into your skin while highlighting and correcting the complexion all at the same time.

MRP: Rs.1450/- (6.5g+2g+2g)

Shades Available: 3

How to use: 

I have the Medium one which looks slightly darker when first applied but settles to match the skin, pretty much. They definitely need to launch more shades, at least 6! 3 is just not enough to cover all skin tones.

The correctors can be mixed to get a peachy undertone, they do cover up a bit but are not as good in coverage as a concealer should be. You can use them as correctors but the cream is also not high in coverage, so you will need a separate concealer.

Both the correctors and the base cream are quite thick and don’t glide on or blend easily. It takes quite some time to blend it in. Also it goes streaky with a brush, and you need a damp beauty blender to smooth out the streakiness. But if you try to apply it with a blender, I think most of the product will stick to the blender and won’t transfer on the skin. Since this has cream to powder finish and is quite thick, the application is really tricky. I applied it with a brush and then blended it in with a beauty blender, which I feel would be the ideal way to use it. (they mention the same in how to use)

It settles into my pores and doesn’t give a smooth, seamless finish. It did not fill in my pores and they were pretty visible, in fact I feel it accentuated them, which is unlike a liquid foundation. I did not powder my face since it claims to have powder properties too, and it creased in few minutes while I was still doing my makeup! (It claims to be 5 in 1 with built in compact, but do mention to use powder in how to use :/)

It feels slightly tacky and it creases, so it definitely needs a powder on top. Also it not very long lasting and creases on lines. This does photograph well though, I won’t reach for it often because for me it does not replace my regular liquid foundation + concealer. The correctors can be used though, with other foundations as well.

It’s good when you want to wear makeup for a few hours or when you are travelling, and don’t want to carry liquids or something bulky. But you will need to carry a separate brush and blender. I wish it had a small brush included too, with the mirror.

It’s not a practical product for me, if I have to carry this and separate brush and blender and powder. Also it does not fill in pores or conceal well, so separate primer and concealer too. Then how is it multi purpose or helping me in any way?

Not impressed with the Total Makeover FF Cream.

I love the bronzer in this palette, it is slightly cool toned and works well as a contour too. It immediately warms up and chisels the face. I also used this same palette for my eyes and it defined my crease really well.

Blush is a pretty peachy pink and gives a nice flush to the cheeks. Highlight I don’t feel is champagne, it’s more white than champagne and this particular one will not work for deeper skin tones and will show as a streak. They claim it be a golden highlighter, but it is white gold and champagne needs more yellow. It’s very subtle and not ultra shimmery as claimed. It’s good for day time use when you want a subtle highlight but isn’t blinding.

Overall it’s a nice palette though, the powders are smooth and pretty pigmented. However, I do feel Sugar and Faces ones are better because they are more affordable too.

Perfect Curves

Claims: An expertly curated collection of hydrating creamy matte lipsticks, these playful pencils give you lipstick and liner in a finish that lasts. Our ultra-smooth cream lipstick delivers intensely saturated color with just one swipe. Designed to define, enhance and shape your lips, Perfect Curves lipsticks are enriched with natural oils to nourish and condition your pout on the go!

Benefits

Enhanced Properties

Note: As this is a Matte Lipstick, if you have dry lips, we recommend you put a lip balm before applying the Matte Lipstick for best results.

MRP: Rs.795/-

Shades Available: 8

This is my favourite product of the three. I love matte lipsticks, this one is super matte but is not cream based like Sugar/Faces/Nykaa lip crayons. It is more of powder matte, hence it does not transfer much and stays put much longer. Even survives meals, unless they are very oily. I love the finish of this, plus it is very moisturizing and comfortable.

Debutante is a nice pinky red shade, a mix of pink and red. I always get asked what lipstick I am wearing, when I have this shade on. Absolutely love and recommend the Perfect Curves, they should launch more shades in this.

You can get Rs.150/- off on your first MyGlamm purchase and also 15% GLAMMpoints. They also have additional offers, as free lipstick above Rs.2000/- etc. So do check out the offers on the website.

I would love to try more products like Glow to Glamour, Stay Defined and eyeshadow palettes. I definitely recommend the Chisel it and Perfect Curves, especially on current offers.

Sugar Cosmetics Contour De Force Palettes/Minis Review, Swatches + Giveaway

Sugar Cosmetics Contour De Force Palettes/Minis Review, Swatches + Giveaway

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics is back with yet another launch, this time they have launched face palettes. It’s called Contour De Force Palette and has a bronzer, blush and a highlighter.

GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com

Palette 01 is called Subtle Summit and Palette 02 is called Vivid Victory, each of the shades in these palettes are sold individually too as minis i.e. mini bronzer/mini blush and mini highlight. (Buy HERE)

The quantity is the same i.e. 4g in both, palettes cost Rs.799/- and minis cost Rs.299/-. So palettes are more economical, also more travel friendly.

They have a cardboard packaging and it’s not super sturdy but won’t bend or break that easily too. The palettes come with a mirror. 

The palette 01 has Blush 01 Peach Pink, Bronzer 01 Taupe Topper and highlighter 01 Champagne Champion.

01 Subtle Summit

Peach pink is a soft, peachy pink blush, Taupe Topper is a cool toned bronzer with gray undertone and the highlighter Champagne Champion is a muted champagne gold.

01 Subtle Summit

The Taupe Topper bronzer is more of a contouring powder than a bronzer and works really well. I loved it. The blush is very muted and would need layering to show up, more suitable for fair skin tones. The highlight is also very subtle and muted, it gives a soft glow suitable for day time, but it’s not like one of those blinding highlights. I personally prefer a stronger highlight though.

02 Vivid Victory

The palette 02 has Blush 02 Pink Pinnacle, Bronzer 02 Woody Wonder and highlighter 02 Gold Glory.

Pink Pinnacle is a deep rose shade, Woody Wonder is a warm brown bronzer (this is more of a bronzer) and Gold Glory is a muted golden bronze.

02 Vivid Victory

The blush is very pretty and would work for all skin tones, bronzer is quite light and would only show up on fair skin tones and the highlight is again subtle and muted, would work for all especially deeper skin tones.

I feel they should have interchanged the bronzer in both the palettes and then palette 01 would be perfect for fair skin tones and 02 for deeper skin tones.

I like the bronzer 01, blush 02 and highlighters both, but 02 more. The texture is really smooth and the powders are very finely milled. These palettes are perfect for day time use and travel, both the highlighters are very subtle and muted, if that’s what you prefer in highlighters.

I do like and recommend the new Sugar Cosmetics face palette, the combination is again an off for me, just like I mentioned in the eye shadow quads HERE.

I am giving away the minis on my Youtube channel, the video embedded below, join 🙂
