White
Grey

PRODUCT PRICE: Rs. 750/- for 1.6g

So at first I thought I have an olive shade which is marked as blue..these both read pink and blue..(Remember the goof up in Eyeconic..I got two greens instead of one grey..read HERE )

Now I got confused between the blue and green..there was no swatch for the blue one anywhere online..and this swatches a deep green..

Basically the three blue/greens in this range are one is a turquoise blue, one olive green and one this Blue which is a deep sea green..

These are eyeshadows in chubby plastic crayon form with transparent lids and matching ends to the shades..and needs to be sharpened.

Pink is a beautiful champagne pink..makes a nice easy to wear color..a great highlight, perfect for inner corners and also highlighting your cheeks.. (or as shown to us in the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass, after the normal base shadow is done, this pink shade was warmed in between fingers and applied at the centre..i.e where the eyeballs are..and it gave a beautiful nice shimmery sheen) Very multi purpose !

Blue is actually a deep sea green..its quite rich and dark..and would make for perfect night time smokey eyes.

They have all the features they mentioned ! Glides effortlessly, super soft, amazing pigmentation, stays put throughout the day but needs to be blended super fast coz it sets immediately.

Here I have used Pink with subtle eyeliner..would look great with bold red lips..or any bright lip..when you do not want the eyes to be heavy..but still some sheen and shine 🙂

Pros:

1. Super soft.
2. Glides smoothly.
3. Doubles up as an eyeliner.. (though a thicker one..you can make for subtle smokey eyes by just blending the thick liner)
4. Stays put through the day.
5. Amazingly pigmented.
6. Comes in 8 shades to choose from.. Bronze and Purple are amazing too..apart from these two..and White which is a nice golden white.
7. Pink and White are multi purpose.

Cons:

1. I am not sure why this is named ‘Blue’ :/
2. These are priced a little higher. (Rimmel Scandaleyes are priced at Rs.415/- for 3.2g qty..though a few shades in Lakme are more pigmented than Rimmel)

Overall I would say, these are quite amazing…and I loved the shades they have come up with..there are subtle Pink and White..and bright Purple and Blue, and Indian wedding wear Bronze and Olive..there is one for everyone..and for all occasions..Highly recommend them..

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.75/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I am liking Bronze and Purple.

Have you tried the Lakme Drama Stylist Eye Crayons ?

New Sunscreens- Lakme and Vichy

So with the advent of summers, we see new sunscreens launched in the market..Lakme and Vichy being two of them..

Lakme 9 to 5 Sunscreens

Lakmé, India’s iconic beauty brand, has introduced the new Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen with SPF 50 to give you the right 9 to 5 look. Its sheer lightweight formula gets absorbed so easily that it can be worn alone, over a moisturizer or under your Lakmé 9to5 make-up. Lakmé is known to innovate continuously and add new products to its repertoire across cosmetics, salon services and skin care and the Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen is yet another addition to this list. If you are looking for that gorgeous finish along with sun protection, then the Super Sunscreen is just what you need as it also serves as a makeup base.

Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen is apt for women with very little or no time to layer their skin with multiple products. What makes this new Sunscreen from Lakmé “super” is the fact that it feels great on your skin and does not leave a white patchy appearance. For the first time, a sunscreen by India’s no 1 brand, Lakmé, is giving you dual benefits.

MRP: Rs. 500/- for 30ml each

The new Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen comes in two variants:

· Lakmé 9to5 Hydrating Super Sunscreen – for normal to dry skin

· Lakmé 9to5 Mattifying Super Sunscreen – for oily skin

With UVA/UVB protection and SPF 50, claims to stay long..and for both skin types..this is quite interesting..

Vichy Capital Soleil Suncreens

Research suggests that both Ultra violet rays of the Sun, UVA and UVB are equally responsible for skin damage. Vichy Laboratories’ comprehensive solution to this growing predicament is the revolutionary Capital Soleil range, a sunscreen containing anti-oxidant minerals for balanced and double protection.

Get the flawless sun protection technology from Vichy this summer with the Capital Soleil Range that consists of Capital Soleil Cream SPF50+, Capital Soleil Micro Fluid Mat SPF50 and Capital Soliel Spray SPF50. The sunscreen comprises of broad-spectrum UVA-UVB protection and is effective towards short wave UVA as well as long wave UVA. It contains patented Mexoryl while also being Photostable and water-resistant. The product is Paraben-free, Hypoallergenic and tested under dermatological control with Vichy Thermal Spa Water.

The Range:

CAPITAL SOLEIL Velvety Cream SPF 50 (Skin type – Normal to Dry Skin)

Velvety Cream’s complexion refining action provides optimum sun protection from UV and long range UVA with Mexoryl SX and XL. The skin is protected from the harmful effects of the sun, brown spots and from the sun induced premature ageing. The velvety formula allows a soft and silky finish.

MRP – Rs 890 for 50ml

CAPITAL SOLEIL Mattifying Face Fluid Dry Touch (Skin type –Oily & Acne Pone skin)

Capital Soleil Dry Touch enriched with MEXORYL, which helps protect the genetic capital against sun damage, brown spots, and sun induced premature skin ageing. It has a unique texture, which has Silica micro-beeds, that Disperses sebum and has a light scattering effect to avoid shine along with Cornstarch powder that absorbs sebum droplets on skin surface to enhance powdery feel and softness.

MRP – Rs 890 for 50ml

CAPITAL SOLEIL Micro Fluid Mat, High Protection for face SPF 50+ (Skin Type – Combination to Oily Skin)

Under the action of UV rays, combination to oily skin has a paradoxical behaviour: sebum production goes into overdrive and at the same time the skin becomes dry within. As a result the skin looks shiny on the surface and feels dry within. Micro-fluid mat is a formula enriched with Sebostop, sebum absorbing micro-particules, in order to instantly mattify skin.

MRP – Rs 1350 for 40ml

CAPITAL SOLEIL SPRAY SPF 50+/UVA Ultra (Skin Type – Normal to Dry Skin)

A micro-diffusion technology, which allows Capital Soleil, sprays to be applied evenly for uniform protection without cracks and Spray textures that are characterized by ease of application and freshness; they are also not greasy, not sticky and penetrate rapidly, without leaving white marks on the skin, even with high SPF.

MRP – Rs. 1790 for 200ml

UVA Rays can cause wrinkles, pigmentation disorders, sunspots, immediate darkening of the pre-formed melanin while UVB rays are a source of sunburns and tanning by stimulating melanocytes to produce melanin rapidly. It has also been found that pro-longed exposure to both of these rays can induce ageing and skin cancer. Health-conscious consumers hence demand a potently shielding Sunscreen for daily application. In such a scenario, a good Sunscreen like the Capital Soleil should fulfill the following factors:

Complete protection: Thorough measure of the Protection factor against both UVB & UVA rays thus protecting the skin’s Health, Youth and Beauty.

High Safety: Should be Hypoallergenic, friendly with sensitive skin, Non-comedogenic

Texture: Should be easily absorbing and should suit different skin types

Resistance: Not influenced or affected by Water or Sweat

So, enjoy a bright and sunny day hesitant-free with Vichy’s Capital Soleil range and open the door to a smooth, soft and sun protected you with your favorite sunscreen this season.

Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass at LFW S/R 2014

Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass at LFW S/R 2014

NATASHA NISCHOL CONDUCTED THE LAKME ABSOLUTE ILLUSION MAKEUP MASTER CLASS AT LAKME FASHION WEEK SUMMER/RESORT 2014

I attended Lakme Fashion Week on Saturday..i.e the 15th..if you follow me on facebook or Instagram, you would have seen the pics..

So anyways, there was this Lakme Absolute Masterclass too..remember last year’s Masterclass..see HERE.

Lakme a trendsetter for decades has created several outstanding looks each season. An informative makeup masterclass was conducted by Lakme Makeup Expert, Natasha Nischol at the Jabong Stage on day four during Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014.

Purnima Lamba, Head Innovation at Lakme, introduced Natasha Nischol on stage and invited her to demonstrate the second edition of Lakme Absolute Master Class themed around Lakme’s latest offering the Lakme Absolute Illusion range. Natasha revealed how to achieve the Lakme Absolute Illusion Metallic Look that is all set to be the beauty trend of the season.

VJ Sarah Jane Dias, Lakme Digital Ambassador was the model for the session. During this one hour session, Natasha Nischol demonstrated the Absolute Illusion Day and Night looks on Sarah Jane Dias.

Lakme Absolute Illusion – Day to Night

For the Lakme Absolute Illusion by Day look, a base of Lakme Youth Infinity Moisturizer, Foundation and Concealer was applied to Sarah’s face prior to the show. Sarah’s hair was also prepped up according to the 70’s vibe – big and curly. A bronzer from the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist range was used for the cheekbones, followed by blending the eyes with the Lakme Absolute Illusion Pearl Eyeshadow, which Natasha insisted could be used in light or heavy portions. A streak of black eyeliner was applied to infuse the colour of the shimmery eye shadow, to give it an electric feel. Dots of electric violet and blue from the Lakme Absolute Eye Shadow Duos were added on top of the eyeliner and to the inner corner of the eye, adding dimension.

Sarah’s eyelashes were curled using the Lakme Absolute Voluminizing Mascara. Sarah confessed that she loved flaunting fake eyelashes, which she found very dramatic.

Natasha finished this Absolute Illusion day look by dabbing the lips in a matte orange lipstick (I guess it was Vermillion) from the Lakme 9to5 range. Sarah walked down the ramp flaunting her bold avatar, swaying to the Bee Gees. Natasha mentioned that ‘Saffron Gossip’ from the same range is a lighter hue of orange lipstick that is safe to play with.

Sarah expressed that she faced a problem with metallic eye shadow fading off an hour after applying it. Natasha explained that the secret to long lasting makeup is to layer and blend in eye shadow with cream and powder so that it sets through the day. Natasha suggested that women should go all out and experiment with purple, blue and aquamarine that look gorgeous on Indian women.

The Lakme Absolute Illusion by Night was achieved by adding touch-ups to the day look and blending in purple Lakme Absolute Drama Stylist Crayon Eyeshadow followed by building in the intensity of the eye shadow with a slightly darken tone. Another line of eyeliner which smudged easily into the purple canvas brought a little sparkle in a pink glitter shadow over the inner corner of the eyes. Sarah’s lips were dabbed in a soft coral called ‘Rust Crush’. The look was completed by applying a coat of mascara and brushing the face with some glitter over the cheekbones in a decent amount of bronze blush – Lakme Absolute Blush, Night Sheen.

Natasha mentioned that all girls love their glitter and one can never have too much of it. Sarah Jane revealed the secret of big hairdos by simply making multiple tiny braids on wet hair and leaving it overnight, untie each braid, a dab of mousse for the 70’s look.

Natasha Nischol graduated from the prestigious London College of Fashion, worked in London and Hong Kong. Trained with Oscar winning make-up artist Jenny Shircore in the UK, she assisted him on The Phantom of the Opera and Four Feathers. Natasha runs India’s paramount make-up academy – fat mu makeup school, along with her partner Virginia Holmes.

How to use Lakme Eyeconic White Kajal

From Snow White in fairytales, Megan Fox in Hollywood to the sexy Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor everyone is in on a new beauty secret- White!. This new colour trend has made its way from runways and fairytales to mainstream make-up routines the world over. It is a shade that helps achieve a range of looks from ‘sexy siren’ to ‘subtle princess’ with a single stroke of the pencil. The new range of kajal pencils by Lakme Eyeconic includes the unmissable white kajal that marks a new dawn in eye-styling. The unconventional Eyeconic White also allows you to experiment with your style and wardrobe and challenge yourself to be adventurous everyday. For generations, the black kohl has ruled the make-up box of every contemporary Indian woman with its ability to quickly brighten the eyes with minimal fuss. Now it’s time to break that code and widen the gaze by adding white to your make-up essentials.

Here are a few quick tips to add some adventure to your eyes.

Tip #1: Highlight the Inner Corner

Use white eyeliner to highlight the inside corner of your eyes. Starting from the corner, fan out about a centimeter on the top and bottom lid. This will make your eyes brighter and very captivating..

Tip #2: Layers of Color

Produce a white line of your top lid twice as thick as you would normally apply a black kajal. Next, apply black or brown liner on top of it with a line about half as thick. This will create a double eyeliner look that makes your eyes stand outwith a little drama.

Tips #3: Under Your Brows To Highlight Your Brow Bone

Use the Lakme Eyeconic White kajal to accentuate your eyes by highlighting your brow bone. This can be done with simple sweeps underneath the brow then smudging it along the brow bone.

Lakme Eyeconic Kajal Green, Blue, Brown,White Review, Swatches

If you follow me my facebook and/or twitter..you would be knowing how I got the box torn from one side..and the pen drive was missing..

And instead of the grey, I got two green shades..

So lets review the four I have..

What the Company claims: Reinvent your everyday look with the all new Lakme Eyeconic White. With a deep colored stroke in an easy twist up format, it gives your eyes a long-lasting, Eyeconic look throughout the day.Smudge proof, water proof and dermatologically tested; Lakme’s Eyeconic White accentuates your eyes and makes them look bigger and brighter.

Key Features:

Smudge proof
Water Proof, Lasts up to 10 hrs
Safe for eyes
Convenient Twist- up format

MRP: Rs.250/- for 1.3g

It comes in the same retractable kajal packaging as Lakme Eyeconic in Black or other kajals in the market..its a tough competition in kajals category, I tell you..

White is a pure white shade

Brown is a dark chocolate brown

Green is a deep forest green

Blue is a light forest green (?) (I have no idea why the blue is a green..Lakme has released blue which is almost similar to the green..just a tad bit lighter..I had first thought I got three greens..but it was named blue..and when I saw online, I found that their blue is just like the green..I wish it was a navy blue or a nice peacock or turquoise blue..why the same blue as green, Lakme ?)

Anyways, so here you see only white and brown different..and two similar greens :p

T-B: Brown, Blue, Green, White

These are so super soft..these just break ! Two of the pencils’ tips broke while swatching..and again while trying..I have no idea why these are so soft..do they need to be kept in fridge or something ? It is as it is quite cold..this is only leading to product wastage..and after breaking the tip again and again, you will be hardly left with any product :/

One has to be super careful with this..

These do glide on smoothly and are too soft..no tugging or pulling..pigmentation is quite good too..

They stay on for 7-8 hours on my upper lashline and for 4-5 hours on my waterline..there was not much smudging..but just that they collect at the edges of the eye..but no raccoon eyes issue..

White looks too stark white..I prefer nudes on my waterline..I like using the white in the inner corners of the eyes..

Here I have used brown on my upper and lower lashline and waterline and white slightly in the inner corners..

I like the green one too..

Overall, I would say these are new in the market and colored kajals are a nice thing to have..and budget friendly too..only issue is too much product wastage..and not many shade options..

I would recommend the Green and Brown ! And if you like using white on the waterline..White too..

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..may be the Brown and Green..and other shades, if they come out with them..How I wish they do..

P.S: I am loving the songs ‘Ye Kudi Badi Drama Queen Hai’ and ‘Tune Maari Entry toh Dil Me Baji Ghantiya Re Tang Tang’ 😀 Do you like them too ? Soo catchy !

Have you tried the new Lakme Eyeconic Colored Kajal ?
