Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Peach Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

So today I am reviewing this latest launch by Maybelline India, the Baby Lips Candy Wow in Peach.

What the Company claims: Baby Lips has launched a new range of lip balms called the Baby Lips Candy Wow range to make your winter exciting and fun. Baby Lips has moved beyond the basic lip balm stick and now comes in the form of a crayon pen! Enriched with Vitamin E, this chubby stick will help you wow your lips in 5 candy shades – Raspberry, Mixed Berry, Orange, Cherry and Peach. Now take intense care of your lips this Winter and pop them with a dash of color with the fun and sweetness of a candy.

Here are the reasons why you’ll love the new Baby Lips Candy Wow:
Available in 5 new shades
– Delicious, candy flavors
1st lip balm in a pen
– Enriched with Vitamin E to make your lips look better
– Gives supple and better-looking lips
– Visible results instantly
Only for Rs. 275/-

Flavors Available:

  • Peach
  • Orange
  • Raspberry
  • Cherry
  • Mixed Berry

MRP: Rs.275/- for 2g (Available on Amazon)

Ingredients:

It comes in this pen kind crayon twist up form. Packaging is quite cute, but also a little broader and longer if you want to carry it in your wallet or denims. I usually carry my normal Baby lips in my denim pockets, this is a bit longer to carry around easily.

This is the complete quantity and it is just 2g which will not last really long if you reapply lip balms 2-3 times a day.

Peach is a very light pale peach that will only work for fair skin tones, doesn’t work well on me. Also Peach is not that pigmented.

Orange is a light fanta orange shade

Cherry is reddish shade

Raspberry is a beautiful pink

Mixed Berry is a light purply pink

These are quite pigmented, a little more than few of the original Baby lips. Moisturising and hydrating enough, stay for 3-4 hours. It has a faint candy smell, but doesn’t last long, just for a minute or so.

Here is the swatch of the Peach shade..

And on me..

Difference between Baby Lips and Baby Lips Candy Wow:

  • Price: Baby Lips are Rs.150-175 and this is pricey at Rs.275
  • Qty: Baby lips is 4g and this is just 2g
  • Pigmentation: Baby Lips Candy Wow some shades are more pigmented than Baby Lips
  • Size: Baby lips are more travel friendly and handy
  • Packaging: Baby Lips Candy Wow look cuter with the bright crayon packaging

Overall I would say, if you need something cute and more pigmented than normal lip balms, Baby Lips Candy Wow is a perfect option. If you want something handy and value for money with good qty and affordable pricing, then stick to Baby Lips.

I have seen the swatches online and I love Raspberry and Cherry. Peach is the least pigmented. I definitely recommend checking out or buying Raspberry and Cherry, I am getting those next!

Soft Smokey Eyes Tutorial inspired by Mickey Contractor feat. MAC Cosmetics

Soft Smokey Eyes Tutorial inspired by Mickey Contractor feat. MAC Cosmetics

Hi guys,

MAC Cosmetics is celebrating 35 years of Mickey Contractor in Bollywood with a special video that has Mickey creating the iconic smoky eye look which has become extremely huge and popular all over!

Take a look at it here..

Remember ‘Chalte Chalte’, the Sharukh- Rani Mukherjee starrer? Rani Mukherjee’s makeup in the movie was done by Mickey Contractor and it was this smokey eye in majority of the scenes, plus it looked fabulous on Rani’s brown eyes.

I was asked to create my version of this smokey eyes using a few MAC products. I got MAC Blacktrack gel liner, carbon eye shadow and Feline Crayon Kohl.

Here is a small video on how I did my eyes..

I started with MAC Blacktrack gel liner as a base and smudged it with a pencil brush, went over it with MAC Carbon eye shadow. Blended everything with a matte brown eye shadow. Layered the black again with the MAC Feline Crayon Kohl and smudged it again.

Used Feline on the waterline and smudged it and used the matte brown eye shadow with a pencil brush to smudge the kohl along the lower lash line.

Highlighted with a matte off white eye shadow and the inner corners with a shimmery gold shadow, then curled my eye lashes and applied lots of mascara.

I went ahead and did my face normally, skipped the powder for a dewy effect and also used a soft highlighter on the high points including centre of the forehead and nose. Applied an MLBB rosy brown shade to complete the look.

Excuse the little redness in one eye, something irritated my eye :/

Unboxing & Review: November 2015 Fab Bag

Unboxing & Review: November 2015 Fab Bag

Hi guys,

I received the November Fab Bag today evening and recorded it immediately, edited and uploaded it, this has been the quickest I have done a video 😀

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.699/- per month

Fab Bag is a monthly subscription bag where you get 4 (sometimes a 5th bonus) products. This month’s theme is ‘Up Your Game The Expert Edition’. I am not sure why the theme name coz none of the products match the theme.

It’s a black quilted bag this time and the quality is pretty good.

The Fab Post and the contents card..

Products in the bag:

  • Seasoul Dead Sea Minerals & Botanicals Massage Candle- Full size- Rs.300/- for 50ml
  • Ayorma Fairness & Cell Renew Night Cream- Rs.195/- for 15g (Rs.649/- for 50g)
  • Lollipops Paris Matte Concealer in Biscuit- Full size- Rs.800/- for 5.5ml
  • Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water- Full size- Rs.250/- for 50ml

The Ayorma night cream comes in a small jar which is good for travel, the quantity is pretty good but I would have loved a 25-30g jar. Lollipops Concealer in the shade Biscuit does not quite match my skin tone and is a bit orangey, I will try and figure if I can work around it for my under eyes.

They had an option to pick your own skincare product like they had the option to pick a makeup product last month. I chose the Kama Ayurveda Rose Water. I thought of the Iraya Serum but I am yet to try out my previous one but I have heard quite good things about it, so if you have not tried the Iraya Serum before and get an option, go for the Iraya one. I like Kama Ayurveda Rose  Water and I love face mists, so I don’t mind having more of them.

The Seasoul Massage Candle is the most interesting product in this month’s box, I have never tried a massage candle before and looking forward to try it.

The value of the products for me come to Rs.1550/- but since the concealer which itself is Rs.800/- is not a good match, it doesn’t turn out to be value for money.

I am not sure if they are sending different shades of concealer to everyone but there are just 3 shade options according to the Fab Post. The other 3 products are good but does not make the bag value for money.

You can skip the November Fab Bag, not a must have in my opinion.

But if you would like to try anyway, you can book your bag HERE

Maybelline White Super Fresh Compact Powder Shell Review, FOTD

Maybelline White Super Fresh Compact Powder Shell Review, FOTD

Hi guys,

I have been using this Maybelline White Super Fresh with Pure Perlite 12 Hour Whitening + Perfecting Compact Powder (wow, that’s quite a mouthful) since the past 2-3 days and here is my review..

What the Company claims: How does White Super Fresh stand out compared to all you other compact powders?

– It lasts up to 12 hours.
– No dabbing, washing or touch-ups necessary.
– Keeps you fresh and fair throughout the day.
– Absorbs sweat and doesn’t let your skin get patchy.
–  Available in 3 shades for your skin tone: Pearl (Light to Medium), Shell (Medium) & Coral (Medium to Dark).
– Priced at Rs.150.
– Has Pure Perlite and UV Filters
– Dermatologist tested and suitable for everyday use

Here is my review on Youtube too..

It comes in this white compact packaging with a mirror and a sponge. The sponge has a rubber finish on one side, so it can only be used through the one cotton side.

I have the shade Shell which is meant for medium skin tones. I am glad that it has yellow undertones, by the name ‘White’ going on the compact I was not very sure. But thankfully it matches me perfectly and does not give a whitish cast.

It has a soft floral smell which is quite pleasing. The packaging is sturdy enough and the mirror and sponge make it very travel friendly. It gives light to medium coverage which is buildable i.e one swipe will give you light coverage and going over 2-3 times will give you medium coverage. But it won’t hide your acne scars or dark circles which means you will need a separate concealer for that.

And even though I use a rich moisturiser, it does accentuate my dry patches. The powder is very finely milled and smooth but it not very creamy, though it it not very dry and powdery kinds too, somewhere in between.

Coming to the staying power and no touch up claim, it does stay put thoughout the day but I need to touch up my oily T-zone once after 5-6 hours as it gets slightly shiny. One slight touch up and I am good to go through the day. If you have dry skin, you won’t need any touch ups and if you have oily skin, one touch up and you will be sorted. It does the mattifying job amazingly well and oil does stay away from your skin through the day.

It blends seamlessly and merges with your skin tone and it actually keeps the skin looking fresh throughout the day.

The only con I would say is it doesn’t have sunscreen protection, but then we don’t rely on compact powders for sunscreen protection anyway. Also I am not sure how the other two shades are and if the darkest shade Coral is a match enough for all skin tones, but I believe 4-5 shades could have been better. I am not very pleased with the ‘Whitening’ claim too.

Here is the shade ‘Shell’ on me, I only have this compact ON and no other base..

The best part is the price and quantity, at Rs.150/- and 8g of product, it is by far one of the most economical compact powders right now.

Overall, I would say it’s a very nice budget compact and perfect for oily to combination skin. It does it’s job of keeping oil at bay very well. If you have dry skin, you will need a rich moisturiser with this. Highly recommended!

October ‘Get Set To Celebrate’ Fab Bag Review

October ‘Get Set To Celebrate’ Fab Bag Review

Fab Bag is a monthly subscription bag where you get 4 (sometimes a 5th bonus) products.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

October month of Fab Bag is the ‘Get Set To Celebrate’ Festive edition since Navratri and Durga Puja are around the corner.

MRP: Rs.699/- for 1 month

It’s a very cute potli type vertical bag this time, quite similar to the mobile pouch which was IN trend some time back, this is perfect to carry some cash, a lipstick and your cell phone during weddings, etc. I love the pink and red color blocking too and the button closure.

They have introduced the brands ‘Spa Ceylon’ and ‘Palmers’ this month. I had received a mail last month end, that I can select any one makeup product of my choice this month. I like the concept and it was quite interesting. I chose the Makeup Revolution Vivid Blush Lacquer in Heart as I had not tried the Makeup Revolution blushes yet.

So I received a full sized Makeup Revolution Blush which is priced at Rs.750/-, now this price varies from importer to importer, but currently it is priced at 750 everywhere.

Products I received:

  • Makeup Revolution Vivid Blush Lacquer in Heart- Full size (Rs.750/-)
  • Nyassa Oceana Foaming Face Scrub- 30g (Rs.900/- for 200g)
  • Spa Ceylon Green Mint Cooling Foot Scrub- 50g (Rs.1100/- for 300ml)
  • Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion -50ml (Rs.545/- for 400ml)

All the brands this month are good. I wanted to try something from Spa Ceylon so I am glad I got a product but I would have chosen the Jasmine Face Mask given an option coz I more into face masks than foot scrubs. I have tried the Palmer’s Cocoa butter body lotion before (Read review HERE), this cute bottle is perfect for travel and I would keep it for that.

Overall I would say it’s a nice bag with nice brands, you get products worth around Rs.1100/- for a bag worth Rs.700/-, it’s a bit of a luck game here, if you get 1-2 different products, the value of the bag changes. But worth a try.

Starlooks Looksbook Mini August Resort Edition: Unboxing & Makeup Look

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..

WHAT IS A LOOKSBOOK® MEMBERSHIP?

Join thousands of makeup lovers across the globe in this revolutionary beauty movement! Today marks the end of spending hundreds of dollars for expensive cosmetics that clutter your purse & makeup drawer – and usually expire before you can finish them!

THE SOLUTION: Each LooksBook® contains fashion-forecasted, PRO Quality, HD, photo-compatible Starlooks color cosmetics, tucked into a convenient and educational “Book”, and is carefully curated to provide a complete “Look”. Let Starlooks be your monthly beauty stylist!

Our LooksBooks, unlike beauty subscription boxes, are NOT comprised of random selections of product. Our Creative Team (a wonderful group of highly trained professionals from the beauty and fashion industry) carefully plans each month based on professional beauty and fashion forecasts, and products are specifically chosen to guarantee that each book’s look is not only fashion forward, but also current in the fashion and beauty industry

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?

BloomsBerry Hand Sanitizers, Nail Polish Removers Review

BloomsBerry Hand Sanitizers, Nail Polish Removers Review

Hi guys,

Bloomsberry is a new Indian brand which has launched a range of hand care products which currently include hand sanitizers and nail polish removers.

About Bloomsberry: A thought that defines BloomsBerry so well. Driven by the philosophy of catering to each individual’s skin care and needs, BloomsBerry has launched a set of hand care products. With an effective yet unique formulation BloomsBerry is developing its each single drop to bring about a change in your life style.

About the hand sanitizers:

  • Bursting Beads melt on your hand, featuring vitamins A, E and C
  • Moisturize hands to reveal skin that is smoother and softer

Health and hygiene matters. BB hand sanitizers are tough on germs and kills them 9x better than the others. Every single drop gives a baby care to your hands and gloves them with a layer of moisturizer. BB sanitizers are filled with bursting beads that contains vitamin A, E and C. A wide range for everyone with a unique mesmerizing fragrance. So, develop a healthy hygiene with BloomsBerry. BloomsBerry Brand is emerging one of the best hand sanitizer in India.

Ingredients:

Variants available:

Green Apple Mojito
Spring Fizz
Fresh Blooms
Aqua Bliss
Blossom Bouquet
Purple Paradise

MRP: Rs.149/- for 29ml

To start with the packaging, it is super cute and so tiny that it makes it perfect to carry in your bag. The tiny beads and colorful sanitizers look very pretty and you get them in different variants, so you can choose what you like.

I loved the Aqua Bliss and Spring Fizz, fruity ones smelled a little sweet for my liking. These are definitely expensive than other sanitizers for the quantity, but you can feel the difference in quality when you use it. Hands feel softer and not drier which usually happens with sanitizers coz of the alcohol content.

They also claim to kill 9x more germs than normal sanitizers, so of course they have some proof for that. If you obsessed with hand sanitizers and like pretty ones in different variants, you will love these. Definitely recommend!

About the Nail Polish Removers:

  • Features castor oil and glycerine and won’t dry out cuticles.
  • Removes nail polish gently and evaporates without leaving any white residue
  • Formula is filled with vitamins which helps your nails grow stronger.

Bloomsberry introduces exclusive range of nail care products with its unique features and quality catering to individual nail requirements and problems.

Ingredients:

Variants available:

Nourishing Nails (Ocean Fragrance) – For Dry Nails
Strengthening Nails (Green Apple Fragrance) – For Weak/Brittle Nails
Acetone Free (Lemon Fragrance)- For Natural/Acrylic Nails
Nail Revival (Fragrance Free) – For Yellow Nails

MRP: Rs.149/- for 50ml

They come in a square white plastic bottle with grey cap packaging. I am glad these do not come in glass bottles which are very risky. The bottles are quite compact and small even though the quantity in each is 50ml, making them travel friendly too.

I love the fact that there is a different variant for every kind of nail. When I had got gel nail extensions done, I used the Acetone free one. I would be switching to the Strengthening Nails one now since my nails have become very weak and brittle after the extensions.

Even though there is one specific variant for dry nails, none of these nail polish removers are drying. Having tried 3-4 different brands, I can say this is by far the least drying nail polish remover brand.

But I don’t use these liquid removers much now, as I prefer either the nail polish remover pads or the sponge bottles to dip your nails in.

I would be really glad if Bloomsberry comes with different variants of nail polish remover pads and those sponge bottles. But if you prefer using the nail polish removers and are looking for something non- drying and meant for your nail type, these are must try. Highly recommend them!

Bloomsberry products are available on Flipkart and Amazon in various combos and at lower prices as introductory offers. Check out more at www.bloomsberry.in

MRP: Rs.2414/- for 30 mL airless pump

To start with, I loved the packaging and the three layers. Very well protected, small and handy, travel friendly. All have Step No. written on them like these have 3,4 and 5 for Eye Cream, Serum and Moisturiser/Night Cream.

Since it was a 7 day challenge, I used it continuously for 7 days. Then again took a break for 2-3 days to see the changes in the skin, and then was using it again. Sometimes of late, I have been using 1-2 out of all and such and not following the entire regime since I have already tested.

My review would be based on using all the 5 products together for 7 days as a challenge, and I will also add some points for the product individually.

Starting with the Firming Eye Gel, its a clear transparent gel which needs to be applied delicately on the entire eye area up and down including the sides. You can feel the cooling effect and the firming too within a minute or two. Sometimes it burnt slightly, not sure if the skin was too dry or for what reason.

The Firming Eye Gel is followed by the Hydrating Eye Cream. Its a nice creamy formula and again lightly applied all over the eye.

Of the 2 products together, few things I would like to mention: Use very very little quantity like the minutest pump on your ring finger. Blend both the ring fingers and very lightly dab or massage the eye area. DO NOT take a pea sized amount of this! I did this mistake in the first 1-2 days. The product used was too much and whenever too much eye product is used, your eyes get a little swollen the next day like you get the under bags coz the product seeps in. Also it does not really require too much qty, the minutest is enough.

I would say one can skip the Firming Gel and go only for the Hydrating Cream. Even if you compare the formulation mentioned above, both have the same, in fact Hydrating Cream has extra and I really like the creamy Hydrating Cream.

One thing I noticed is, whenever I stopped using the eye creams, the inside corner of my upper eye became very very dry and that has never been so before! I am not really sure if the skin got used to the cream or the cream has that effect that it needs to be used continuously. If its the later, I am a little scared, coz I do not want my skin to get used to a particular thing forever.

Coming to the Line Minimizing Serum which is the next step after the eye creams. I used this twice in a day along with the eye creams. So these 3 products were fixed at both times, followed by a Daily Moisturizer or a Night Cream for AM/PM. I do not have wrinkles, so I did not see a major difference which I can talk about. Its a white colored light water based cream.But its very light in texture and got absorbed nicely. Skin did feel softer and smoother eventually.

The Daily Glow Moisturizer was white colored thick cream like in texture and the Replenishing Night Cream had similar texture but its light yellow in color. You need a tiny quantity of both here again. Since these are rich and heavy, even a tiny quantity is more than enough for moisturization. I never felt the need for any other moisturiser.

In fact, I am not a fan of layering products, so using 4 products at a time was a little heavy for my skin and it left a little sheen, for which I used to dab a tissue at the end. But never once did it broke me out or anything.

When you check the ingredients, you would find all nice and pure stuff good for the skin from Walnut Oil, Rosemary Oil to Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil and eye creams have Cucumber extracts.

When all 5 products used together, I would say, my skin never felt so moisturized and hydrated, which is amazing for the winters too. Skin is softer, smoother with less visible lines and pores and there is no redness with a very very even skin tone. In my previous OOTD, I mentioned about how I am loving my skin these days and I have those pictures with no makeup on but just this regime and a lipstick.

Also these days I step out without any ounce of makeup on most of the days, not even a tinted moisturizer coz I don’t even feel the need to. I think I got to try this range at the perfect moment as my skin is more than ready for the wedding now 😀 I would definitely recommend this for brides-to-be. Also since I took a break in between, I can tell your skin would still remain soft and plump and would not return to how it was, as with most creams. Only the eye cream I am not sure of, if my skin has got used to,or if its the weather.

But the issues are its only available via a representative and also its super expensive! I think the reps might be having a good deal on the entire kit though, not really sure, would check on that. (I saw the entire Herbalife combo on Snapdeal once for Rs.13,500/-) One may skip the Firming Eye gel though, and maybe the Line Minimizing Serum if it is not really required.

Highly recommended! This stuff works.

Currently I am testing new products, but I might switch back to these just before the wedding 😀

Rating: 4.25/5
