Maybelline Bold Matte Colorsensational Lipstick Review, Swatches

Maybelline Bold Matte Colorsensational Lipstick Mat 2 Review, Swatches

First of all thank you so much for all the wishes on this post and on facebook and mails..I am overwhelmed 🙂 Thanks a lot..

Coming to the review of the newly launched Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick..
What the Company claims: Hydrating matte with honey nectar
o Moisturising agents like rosa canina oil and jojoba oil
o Powderless matte pigments ensure true vivid shades

5 trendy vibrant shades in a brilliant matte texture

MRP: Rs.375/- for 3.9g

Ingredients:

It comes in the normal silver Colorsensational packaging but with a sheer red cap..has a fruity watermelon smell..

But first thing to be noticed is, its not matte ! I am not aware why these are claimed to be matter..these are quite creamy and glossy..super pigmentation..these can be builded to a super opaque color..and I love the staying power !! It stays for almost 5-6 hours and then leaves behind a nice coral pink stain.

Mat 2 is a reddish peachy coral..but not neonish or in your face..I love how it makes my teeth looks white and brightens my whole face instantly..I can easily skip a lip balm too with this..coz its quite moisturising..

Here is it on me..please excuse me dry lips..I have to speak whole day since I teach and its taking a toll on me of late :/

Pros:

1. Super pigmented.
2. Comes in 5 bright shades.
3. Moisturising…I do see jojoba oil, etc on the ingredients list..
4. Has a glossy finish which settles for a slightly semi matte one later.
5. Love the staying power..stays for 5-6 hours and leaves behind a pretty stain.
6. I like how the color flatters my skin tone and brightens my face and smile..a perfect reddish coral.
7. Economical.

Cons:

1. Claimed as matte..its not matte.
2. Not transfer proof.
3. I would have preferred different colored caps to distinguish the shades and also giving them names would have been better instead of mat1, mat2, etc

Overall I love them as lipsticks and totally love the shade..if it were not claimed as matte..then it would have been better. Checking out the red and pink too.

If you like bright, long staying yet moisturising lipsticks, you will surely love these. But if you were expecting these to be matte, then skip it.

L’oreal Color Rich Le Vernis 208 So Chic Pink Review, NOTD

L’oreal Color Rich Le Vernis 208 So Chic Pink Review, NOTDI showed you the L’oreal L’Or Sunset Collection HERE. The shade So Chic Pink was a part of this collection.

What the Company claims: THE 1ST GEL BASED NAIL POLISH WITH A BUILT IN TOP COAT.With a formula that combines rich pigments, pearlescents and optical effects, L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Le Vernis offers an extensive collection of 49 modern and fashionable shades. The mini 5ml bottle allows every woman to mix and match her favourite hues from the range to complement her every mood, occasion and look.

An exceptional formula with a built-in Top Coat
The ultra-fine ingredients in the formula are combined in a liquid gel base, the Liquigel, so the polish glides on smoothly and easily during application and provides even coverage over the entire nail.
A patented brush
Delivers just the right dose of polish for a one-stroke application in which each stroke applies an even amount of product all along the nail.

MRP: Rs.225/- for 5ml

Being a gel based nail polish, the texture is definitely amazing..and super easy to use..does not get gloopy in 2nd or 3rd coat unlike the normal ones..

The brush is amazing !! I have never got such neat application with any nail polish ever..I loveee the brush.

With 2 coats, you get the perfect opaque coverage..and it stays well for 3-4 days but starts chipping from the tips first..though the rest stays on pretty long..almost 7-8 days.

Coming to the shade So Chic Pink, I think its a super pretty coral red..not a normal bright red and not neonish coral too…a perfect blend of two..and also I got compliments for this nail polish and 3-4 girls asked me which shade was that 😀

Only pinch I see is the price..for a small 5ml bottle, its definitely pricey 🙁 Though I so loved the texture , brush and staying power, I would be surely getting more of these 😀

Myntra.com Haul and Review

Myntra.com Haul and Review

I know I am MIA from a long time..blame the stupid internet..its been 8-9 days it gets disconnected every night..and during daytime I am in office..finally I get to blog :DComing to Myntra.com, I have shopped a few time previously at Myntra but mostly clothes, shoes, etc..but not from the Beauty section..they provided a voucher to shop and experience the beauty section..and I said why not..

I got my stuff within a day or two..they are pretty quick..and I love how we get different individual boxes..don’t we all need them to keep our makeup 😀

Let’s see what I shopped..

I got:

Faces Exfoliating Gloves (affordable dupe for the Body Shop Gloves)
Maybelline Makeup Remover (wanted to try this from a long time)
Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine Lip Gloss in Plum Luster
Streetwear Nail Polish Remover
Nivea Purifying Face Wash (for Combination to Oily Skin)
Revlon Touch and Glow Pimple Corrector

Things I feel they should work on..most of the things were out of stock..like I had a few things in my cart and they were OOS the next day..so had to replace them..for the Lip Glosses, they had just 3 shades available..and not the shade I wanted..I was interested more in Mirrored Mauve..so definitely more stock and variety is what they can improve on..and shipping is free above Rs.1000/- which I feel is a little too high..it should be around Rs.400-500/-

Do you shop from Myntra.com ?

Laser Vs. Waxing- Kaya Skin Clinic

Laser Vs. Waxing- Kaya Skin Clinic

I had attended a meet by Kaya a few days back..where we were explained everything about laser..the in depth technical knowledge by Dr.Narmada..the two types of technology used..ND YAG and Diode..and the benefits of laser hair removal over waxing..
I also got a small patch test done..and it did not hurt at all..felt just like someone pinching..

Here is the official press release..

Not just hair-free skin, its SATIN SMOOTH SKIN this Summer

Benefits of laser hair free reduction will make you say NO to waxing

100,000 women at Kaya have said NO to waxing, enjoying the freedom of hair-free, satin smooth skin with Kaya’s Permanent Hair Reduction! This summer, we want you to join these women and enjoy the freedom of wearing summer outfits every day without having to bother about your pending waxing appointment, awkward hair-growth after shaving or dark patches caused by hair removal creams.

Kaya Skin Clinic, segment pioneers & experts in the Indian market brought about a revolution of freedom from hair for discerning Indian women.

Kaya HairFree is a permanent laser hair reduction service, which reduces the number and thickness of unwanted hair. Laser Hair Reduction services provided by Kaya, uses US FDA approved ND YAG laser technology that has been certified to be highly safe for Indian skin. Absorbed by the dark colour (melanin) of the hair, the laser beam safely targets the hair follicles without causing any harm to the surrounding skin, in turn reducing your hair from the roots and preventing further growth.

With the expertise & success of a decade, Dr. Narmada Matang, Head Medical Operations, Kaya Ltd. demystifies this revolutionary service and talks about the benefits of Laser hair reduction over other methods of hair removal.

  • Convenience: Kaya Hairfree is a more convenient & less time consuming method over waxing. Each underarm session for instance, takes not more than 5 minutes
  • Hair reduction: This treatment can reduce number of hair by a whopping 70-90% in just 5 sessions. A quick comparison with waxing shows that it takes decades of sessions for hair growth to be reduced, and by a rather minuscule percentage
  • In-grown Hair:Waxing rips the hair out of the roots to give you the desired hair-free skin. Although, the hair is left with a tip often below the skin, which starts to grow inwards. Kaya Hairfree addresses in-growth problem by permanently putting a stop to hair growth. Infection if any, caused due to wax could also be treated through this process in quick sessions
  • Less discoloration and scarring: As a result of ingrown hairs and irritation or itching after shaving/waxing, many women develop discoloration called post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. With the permanent reduction of hair by Kaya Hairfree most of the discoloration goes away, leaving your skin flawless and scar-free
  • Softer, smoother skin: Most women state that their legs feel stubbly only 2-3 days after shaving and after a few more days post waxing. Laser hair reduction on the other hand, results in softer, smoother skin after each treatment. The small percentage of hair that remains is treated into turning thinner, and lighter in colour.
  • Skin Infections: Waxing can also lead to skin infections if not supervised whereas Kaya Hairfree is done under a dermatologist’s supervision

Kaya Skin Clinic has been the preferred beauty soul mate of women for a decade and urges you to follow your heart and BE READY to enjoy that summer bliss like never before!

This summers..they are offering one session of underarms lasik at the cost of waxing.. To help you win the dare of going sleeveless for this summer and all other seasons, Kaya invites you for a session of their revolutionary Permanent Laser Hair Reduction service at the cost of waxing. You can avail of this limited period offer in the months of May and June to get freedom from unwanted underarm hair forever. To add to the excitement, you could also choose to avail of the remaining 6 session package at a 40% discount!

So rush to your nearest Kaya Skin Clinic..
