What the Company claims: Multi-functional palette contains four eyeshadows and two blushers from our bestselling i-Divine and Blush range. Eye & Cheek Palette provides all of your colour essentials in one convenient compact.
These velvety smooth eyeshadows and blushers are highly pigmented and long-lasting, making blending and defining simple.
Each palette contains complementary neutral and bold shades suited to all skin tones.
Packaged in a handy travel sized compact, with magnetic snap-shut mechanism and also includes a large mirror and two essential brushes for effortless application.
Dancing Til Dusk includes velvety browns and shimmering fawns from our Au Naturel i-Divine palette. With radiant Blush shades Mirrored Pink, an iridescent soft pink and Sahara, a matte, dark coral, for a sophisticated finish.
How to: Eyeshadow: Use the mini eyeshadow applicator to sweep the lighter shades all over the eye lid. Blend well, as this acts as a base for deeper shades. Then apply the medium or dark shades across the crease to define eyes
Blush: Using the mini blusher brush included, sweep onto the apples of the cheeks
Comes in 2 variants- Dancing Till Dusk and See You At Midnight
MRP: $14.99
Dancing Till Dusk is the one I am reviewing today. It is more on the warm side while See You At Midnight is more on the cooler side.
Dancing Till Dusk has the blushes Mirrored Pink and Sahara and the eyeshadows from the Au Naturel Palette.
See You at Midnight combines deep blue and pearlescent purple eyeshadows from our Vintage Romance i-Divine Palette. Along with Blush in Pomegranate, a golden berry hue and Antique,a shimmery dusky rose, for a captivating look.
It comes in a small rectangular black packaging and has a mirror and a small double sided applicator and a small brush.
Shades:
Eyeshadows:
Satin finish champagne shade (Beautiful!)
Matte taupe (For the crease)
Matte beige n*de (Almost skin color, perfect for blending and brow bone)
Medium brown with gold shimmer
Blushes:
Mirrored Pink – A soft, romantic satin finish bright pink. Very bridal for fair skin tones.
Sahara: Matte peachy coral. Super pretty on warm skin tones <3
I would recommend See You At Midnight for darker/deeper skin tones coz the shades would show up on them well and Dancing Till Dusk for both but especially for warm skin tones. I am glad I got the Dancing Till Dusk coz I am totally a warm person and love neutrals/warms in eye shadows and peachy, natural blushes. Also, warm shades look beautiful on our Indian skin tones.
Its a perfect daytime palette with a brown, taupe, champagne, a shade for blending and a nice peach blush. Mirrored Pink looks a little bright though but looks nice when blended if you want to turn a day time look to a night time look. Its travel friendly and carry one and you are sorted kind of a palette. Highly recommended!
So, I too jumped into the MeMeBox bandwagon (if you don’t know what it is about, go HERE), though I have tons and tons of things to do away with right now. (New place,shifting, etc after marriage) I am not buying anything new these days. But I wanted to try the MeMeBox since I had been hearing a lot about it.
About MeMeBox: Memebox is the #1 Korean beauty online retailer in the world.
Many of our products are sourced, packaged, and shipped, directly from Korea straight to your doorstep.
We also have a range of USA Exclusives, which include products most-loved by our USA customers – these ship directly from our USA warehouse.
We ship to 51 countries internationally: see if yours is on the list.
At Memebox, we’re committed to bringing you only the best – we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
They have 2-3 different kind of boxes, Original and Superbox.
The original Memebox comes packed with 4 – 8 full-sized products and deluxe samples.
SUPERBOX
Each Superbox comes with its own theme, and contains only full-sized items. Each month, we team up with style icons to curate special Superboxes featuring each collaborator’s favorite items – keep an eye on these, they sell out fast!
Also there are different boxes for different themes, and you have one for everything from scrubs to skin type to favourite color to hair care,etc.
Its been a long long time I ordered this, sorry for the delay in reviewing. I am running behind schedule on everything coz I am caught up with shopping and other stuff too. I got the ColourBox, they had three colours: red, orange and pink options if I am not wrong. (They have added a new Blue too) I went for the Red one.
About the Red Colour Box: Hey foxy ladies! Dare to step out of your comfort zone with our Memebox Red and vamp up your style with a dramatic, rosy red look? Add vibrance and vividness to your eyes and lips with a bold red hue, slip on those stiletto heels, and be that femme fatale that we all know you are.
What’s your favorite beauty color?
Spice up your life with some color and get your hands on 3 to 4 beauty products (full products and deluxe samples) at only $15.
Get your hands on 3 to 4 of the hottest beauty products straight from Korea.
MRP: $15.00
Shipping method: Standard Shipping Shipping cost: $6.99
Estimated shipping time: 15~25 business days
It comes in a nice red colored packaging and 5 full sized products with details of each.
What I got in my box:
Dearberry Flirt Lipstick in 08 Red Parade ($12)
L’Ocean Eyeshadow L-35 Red 4g ($10)
The Cheek Room Two Color Lip Gloss 8ml ($12) (Super cute)
Tosowoong Gel Pencil Liner 1.2g in Burgundy ($10)
Dearberry Today Nail Lacquer #21 Pink Sprinkling 10 ml ($3)
The Dearberry red lipstick is an absolutely amazing and flattering red. The Cheek Room lipgloss is the cutest I have seen, did not own a two colour lipgloss ever. I love the nail paint shade too. I wont be using the red eyeshadow as an eyeshadow, I think it will make a pretty blush.
The best thing in the box is the Tosowong Makeon Burgundy gel eyeliner pencil. Always wanted to try a gel eye pencil which is quite famous in Korean makeup. Its a nice reddish brown burgundy color.
Having paid $15+ $7 = $22, I get $47 worth of products which is an amazing deal! And all MeMeBoxes are so worth it, coz you get much more value of products than what you pay. One actual beauty box where you end up getting something unlike small 5ml samples.
Since it was only one box, I was not charged with customs. But I have heard about few others having to pay huge customs, so that is one deterrent. If you do not stay in Mumbai and there are’nt much customs issues, you should definitely try this. Or I did suggest order one at a time, and not 2-3 together coz that definitely attracts customs.
You can buy it HERE (Its currently sold out, but they may stock soon). Also check out other boxes which are equally amazing.
Have you tried the MeMeBox yet ? Which is your favourite box ? Do share with me in the comments below, so that I can check them too 😀
Remember I mentioned about Revlon’s new Cheek Boutique i.e the new Powder Blushes and Highlighting Palette HERE.
I was one of the winners of Revlon’s Travel look contest and got the highlighting palette Bronze Glow too as a part of the prize. Though the poor thing got completely smashed in the courier.
What the Company claims: Revlon Highlighting Palette for an all over sun kissed glow. Complimentary shimmer shades blend to enhance the complexion for a radiant sun kissed look.
Enhances and illuminates the complexion
Gives a multi-dimensional sculpted look
Easy to blend, buildable color
MRP: Rs.950/- for 7.5g
Shades Available: Rose Glow, Bronze Glow, Peach Glow (I love the Bronze the most)
This is how it looked after some cleaning.
Almost like those Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks and The Body Shop highlighters, but less shimmery. I like my highlighters less shimmery, we aint no shiny disco balls :p
Though it does look a little too shimmery in the pan, but upon swatching, it comes out a beautiful rosy bronze. It has 5 strips, one is white, and the other 4 are shades of bronze, copper, pink bronze and pink copper. So all blended together, it gives our a nice bronze with a pink sheen which looks beautiful on our warm skin tones.
Top- Individual, Bottom- Blended
Though if you are on the lighter side, I would recommend checking out Rose Glow and Peach Glow. But for medium Indian skin tones, Bronze Glow is just perfect.
It stays on for 6-7 hours and slowly fades but does not go away completely. Also works for highlighting the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes. I use it on the bridge of the nose and cupid’s bow too for that little pout effect.
Its pigmented and buildable, easy to use coz you can build it slowly, won’t make you look funny even if you are new to highlighters and blushes.
Though its on the expensive side, it does offer good quantity and quality. I would have liked it to be priced around Rs.750-800/-. Sadly wee do not have good highlighters available in India, so if you are looking for a good highlighter from an Indian brand and that is easily available, this is one of the few options.
I did expect better and sturdier packaging though, this is not at all travel friendly. You can see the condition of the smashed palette.
Overall, I do like it and recommend it. I love highlighters and this is one of my current favourites.
Rating: 3.75/5 (-0.25 for the packaging)
Have you tried the Revlon Highlighting Palette ? Which is your favourite highlighter ?
We had to buy skincare and makeup products which we use on an everyday basis i.e our ‘daily’ ‘face’ stuff within the budget of Rs.5000/-
And since we had to buy only from Jabong and from the brands available on the site, it added up to the challenge 🙂
This is the perfect kit for you, if you are in college and surviving on pocket money and don’t have big bucks to spend on luxury products. Spending big bucks is not even required actually, you can create a nice kit for yourself within this budget.
For brides to be, this also makes a part of my Bridal Diaries. If you are someone who was never into skincare and makeup, then this kit would work for you too. Or if you want to buy stuff for your trousseau within the budget of Rs.5000/-
I have linked products to their reviews which I have already reviewed on my blog before or have given my 2 cents here on products I have used, but not reviewed yet.
So here we go..
1. Ponds White beauty Naturals Spot Less lightening Cream- Rs199 for 50g
Reason: Super light in texture with no greasiness. Has camellia (Green Tea) leaf extract, niacinmide and tocopheryl acetate which help in fading spots and regeneration of skin cells. Added bonus: SPF (titanium dioxide aluminum hydroxide stearic acid). This can be your perfect affordable daily moisturizer.
2. VICHY Normaderm 3-In-1 Cleanser – Rs.450/- for 50ml
Reason: A unique combination of Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid and 25% Clay with a soothing agent. Use it as a cleanser/face wash or a scrub or apply a thin layer as a mask. The blend of salicylic acid and clay is perfect for oily skin and prevents from breakouts. Glycolic acid helps in mild exfoliation. I won’t recommend it using everyday. For everyday use, a mild cleanser like the Auravedic Saffron Almond one we selected, is good. But its perfect to use for a weekly scrub/face pack. It dries quickly too, not taking too much of your time. If you use it weekly, its going to last long and turns economical for its multiple uses.
4. L’Oreal Paris Uv Perfect Aqua Essence Sunscreen Moisturiser- Rs.475/- fro 30ml (Review HERE)
Reason: A Sunscreen with good SPF protection is a must. Whether you are in your teens or in your 30’s, you need to protect your skin from the sun’s rays. L’Oreal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence has SPF 30 PA+++ UVB UVA protection with a PPD of 15.5. It also has Advanced Mexoryl XL Filters (only found in L’Oreal Paris sunscreens- this and Vichy Capital Soleil which is on the expensive side) that protect against broad spectrum UVA/UVB rays, Adenosine that repairs deep skin damage and fights wrinkles, and Vitamin E that helps fight against free radicals and external stress. It also hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Best part: It somewhat protects skin from tanning too.
5. Forest Essentials Facial Tonic Pure Rose Water Facial Mist- Rs.575 for 100ml
Reason: Natural toner. 100% Steam Distilled Rose Water. Alcohol based toners rip the moisture from the skin. One should go for alcohol free toners as much as possible. It cools, soothes and moisturizes the skin. You can also carry it along in your bag. (You need one in the Mumbai heat especially in summers!)
6.Biotique Bio Almond Oil Soothing Face Eye Make Up Cleanser – Rs.149 for 120 Ml
Reason: It’s a blend of almond, castor, sunflower and few other oils. Oils are always the best makeup remover one can use. It melts off toughest of your waterproof mascara. No stinging or burning. One of the pretty decent and affordable makeup removers in the market.
Reason: One of the deepest and most pigmented rich black kajals in India right now. It stays whole day and hardly smudges. I recommend this to everyone all the time. Does’nt even hurt the pocket at 175. Best budget buy for college girls too. I guess most of us love our kajal and lip balms and swear by it everyday whether you in college or working. This is definitely a must have!
Reason: Who has the time and patience to apply falsies and remove them everyday ?! But we still want those fluttery, long lashes right ? Well, look no further. Maybelline Falsies Mascara is the answer. With 2 coats of this, you get a false lash effect! I mean it. Do try it for yourself. And at 425 if you get killer long lashes, it does not hurt, right ? :p
Reason : No reasons are enough for this baby. Its my favourite liner ever. Pigmented. Stays long. Perfect stiff tip. And the hypersharp tip gives the thinnest most defined lines to more thicker wings. It also does not dry up quickly and works as good as new for a long long time.
10. Maybelline Color Sensational Mirrored Mauve High Shine Lip Gloss- Rs.350 for 5ml (Review HERE and HERE)
Reason: Pigmented, High shine, Affordable, Good qty, Non Shimmery, Prettiest Nude Mauve shade ever. This is bang on for your everyday wear whether for work or a day out with your girlfriends.
Reason: If you have to include one affordable blush in your kit, it has to be Maybelline Cheeky Glow. Its matte, smooth, pigmented and long staying. 7g of quantity would last for a long time. Fresh Coral is a warm coral pink and gives that ‘just out of the gym’ healthy pink flush. One of the best budget blushes in India.
12. Street Wear Color Rich Perfection Compact Powder- Rs.160 for 7g
Reason: Cute packaging again. Provides medium coverage and controls oil and shine. Thoughtful hygienic packaging, the separator in between prevents the foam applicator from getting dirty. No more expectations at this price and quantity. Again a perfect budget everyday compact.
13. Street Wear Color Rich 11-Pink Passion Lipstick- Rs.180 for 4.2g
Reason : Street Wear has nailed it with this latest Color Rich Range and these Ultra Moist lipsticks are the best in the collection. Cute packaging. Semi matte texture, Long staying power, Economical price and quantity. A perfect bright pink shade to perk up your evenings or weekends. Psstt: It’s a dupe of MAC Flat Out Fabulous 😀 I am sure you want this in your kit! Plus it won’t pinch your pocket.
14. Ponds White Beauty Blemish Balm Cream- Rs.125/- for 18G
Reason: A BB Cream that also acts as a moisturizer and sunscreen and gives amazing coverage! Gimme! I use it everyday. Its one of my favourite BB creams out of the lot in the market right now. It has Vitamin B3, Vitamin E and Allantoin which helps against pigmentation and heals the old scars/spots faster. Has SPF30PA++. The shade suits me perfectly and the coverage is medium, more than any other BB creams. Stays put the whole day. The silicones in it make it work as an eye shadow primer too!! Beat that. And all for this price is fantastic.
15. & 16. Auravedic Revitalizing Face Care- Rs.325 for a combo of 2 products (Pulpy Saffron Almond Face wash and Pure Aloe Vera Gel) (Review HERE and HERE)
Reason: Both the products separately cost you a little more, so buying a combo means savings 😉 The Radiance by Nature is one of the best face washes I have personally tried and recommend. Its made up of natural ingredients and a blend of essential oils. No SLS or parabens. Chemical and color free. Cleanses skin well leaving no dryness or stretchiness. There is a neem and tea tree variant for oily skin and a rose and saffron variant for dry skin. And 50g lasts really long. Total value for money.
Pure Aloe Vera Gel is packed with green tea and pomegranate extracts and a blend of essential oils again like lemon, avocado, grapeseed, olive. Its super cooling and gel like in texture. Smells amazing. Keep it in the fridge in the summers and apply it whenever your skin feels dehydrated or thirsty. I am sure you will love this refreshing cold aloe gel in the harsh summers. No preservatives and chemicals. Also recommended to be used as a hair styling/shaving gel. I personally use it post waxing/threading coz it instantly soothes and reduces the redness on the skin. Quite a multi tasker this is!
17. Auravedic Almond & Grapeseed Night Repair Cream- Rs.350 for 100g
Reason: Skin cells are the most active and repair itself during the night time. The whole regeneration of new skin cells takes place during night. A rich, heavy night cream with some essential nutrients is a must have. It nourishes your skin inside out and also helps delay signs of ageing. This rich night cream has almond butter, grapefruit oil and few other essential oils. Auravedic has no SLS,parabens or chemicals. And you need just a tiny bit, so 100g would last you really long. But investing in a good night cream is a must. It is as important as a sunscreen.
18. Star’s Cosmetics Bronze-2 Pressed Eye Shadow Rs.195/- for 1.66G
Reason: Even if you are not a daily eyeshadow person, you need one bronze/gold shadow in your kit. Indian weddings are when you will need it the most. Or just smoke it out with a black kohl base for a night out. Instant glam!
Overall View: I think it was an interesting challenge. I included everything necessary from skin care to makeup used in day to day life. (and covering weekends/occasions too) A total of 18 products,and also saved on some bucks (Though 27 :D)
Skin care: Face wash, Toner ( Facial Mist), Moisturizer, Sunscreen, Lip Balm, Makeup Remover, Night Cream, 3 in 1 (Cleanser, Scrub, Mask) for your weekly pampering, Pure Aloe Vera Gel for shaving/post waxing,etc.
I have not included nail paints, shower gel,shampoo, conditioner, hair serum/oils coz it was ‘daily face’. You need to add those too which will be another 750 bucks approximately.
I hope you liked my kit. If you did, I would love for you to vote for me HERE. Just click on the heart under my name ‘Bhumika Thakkar’ and it will turn red 🙂 Or you can tweet to @elleindia with the hashtag #EBA2014. Thanks in advance.
What all would you include in your kit within the budget of Rs.5000 ?
What the Company claims: New for Summer 2014, create a flush of intense colour with this long-lasting, matte blusher in Flirtatious. The lightweight cream texture delivers a velvet soft cream to powder finish. Apply to the apples of the cheek, or across cheekbones to enhance and define. Build and blend with fingers or an Illamasqua brush for added colour-intensity.
MRP: £21.50 for 5 g / 0.18 OZ (Approx. Rs.2200/-)
Flirtatious is a lightweight velvet soft powder which delivers a matte finish. Apply to enhance your cheekbones, use over foundation for impact.
Application: Build and blend with fingers or an Illamasqua brush.
It comes in the trademark Illamasqua packaging. Looking at it first, I could’nt make out its a cream finish coz it looked just like powder.
Its a cream to powder finish. As soon as you blend it, the color is completely dry and matte and stays put throughout the day.
This is not those creamy, melt in your face or give a soft, dewy look kinda blush. Its matte and looks as good as any powder finish blush.
Flirtatious is a perfect peachy, pink shade. It gives that nice, healthy glow to the cheeks. This is one shade and finish, which would work for all skin tones and on all skin types, be it oily or dry.
I am in love with it..and eyeing more from this Velvet Blusher range. Other shades available in the Velvet Blusher range are Conviction, Sleek and Peaked.
Unblended- Blended
Pros:
1. Love the Illamasqua packaging.
2. Beautifully pigmented.
3. Matte finish.
4. Once blended, stays put throughout the day.
5. Perfect texture and works on all skin types.
6. Shade gives a nice healthy, peachy pink flush and would work on all skin tones.
Overall, I would say, I love this new Velvet Blusher range and their finish. And also all the 4 shades which are a part of this range look amazing. I think these are just perfect. Highly recommend them.

Cosmetic-love.com Haul and Review
What the Company claims: Welcome to Cosmetic-Love Korean beauty online store! Cosmetic Love strive to provide our customers with the wide range of Korean cosmetic products from various Korea brands such as Laneige, Etude House, Tony Moly, Missha, Skinfood, TheFaceShop etc, and we are planning to exapnd our line-up of other beauty brands as well. All products are 100% GENUINE and recently produced as we purchase direct from the Korean retail shop and manufacturer. We are continually updating products to meet our customer needs, so check back our store often to see New-Arrival.
I had placed an order an month back..I know it took super long 🙁 And also I was charged $4 customs duty on it 🙁 But it was nicely packed with bubble wrap and cute star shaped sponges..but they have free shipping all over the world..if you need a tracking number, then $2.5 and if you choose express shipping, then $22.
I like the fact that they have free shipping..all international sites who have free shipping are my favorites ! 😀 Though we cannot be spared from customs :/ I wish they spared ‘Beauty Bloggers’ with a special section created in the Act…here talks my inner CA :p
I had ordered for Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips talk in JOR 203..which is a super bright and vivid orange..and Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer..which makes eye shadows pop like anything and stays put whole day without any creasing !
I am loving both of these !! My current favorites and a lot used these days…
Here is the lipstick on me..
It is super glossy and hydrating..more like a lip gloss..but does not stay long..max 2-3 hours..I don’t mind reapplying..and I am in love with the shade..
I highly recommend this site..also coz they have free shipping…and currently they have discounts on many items..plus they also have free combo offers.. Have you shopped from Cosmetic-love.com ? Have you tried Etude House products ? P.S: Product sent by brand but it has not affected my review.
What the Company claims: Lakmé CC stands for Complexion Care cream. It combines the goodness of your daily skin cream with just the right touch of make-up to give you that perfect look in just a few minutes.
Its skin care benefits include sun protection (SPF 20), moisturizing, brightening and freshness while its make-up benefits are an even skin tone and basic coverage.
MRP: Rs.250/- for 30g
Shades Available: Beige and Bronze
How to use:
Ingredients:
It comes in a nice attractive gold and pink tube packaging..and it can be seen and felt that the quantity is good enough too..it does not squeeze inside the cap and is very much travel friendly.
It has a light floral smell..and one needs only a pea sized amount of this..and the coverage it provides is pretty good..much better than other tinted moisturisers in the market..I would say more than Maybelline, Revlon and Garnier BB and almost equal to the Ponds and L’oreal BB..here I compared them all 😀
Its not that moisturising..and tends to give a matte look..oily skinned beauties would love this..I feel a need to use a separate moisturiser..if I don’t, it clings to dry patches.
And the shade Beige is a little lighter for me..in this pic below I have used Beige..Bronze is slightly darker for me..I really feel there should have been one more mid shade in between the two and that would have worked perfectly for me..Beige would suit NC 30-35 and Bronze would suit NC 40-42. The mid people should have been thought of..are you listening Lakme ??
Pros:
1. Lovely packaging.
2. Economical.
3. Pretty good coverage.
4. A good enough quantity.
5. Gives a semi matte finish..great for oily skinned girls.
6. Stays for 5-6 hours after which a slight touch up is needed.
7. Has SPF 20..though not much..but little added protection.
Cons:
1. Cannot skip a moisturiser..clings to dry patches.
2. Beige is lighter and Bronze is darker..a mid shade is surely required !
Overall I would say its pretty good..and a boon for girls with oily skin…I guess Bronze would be a shade high in demand..and would suit most of the girls..a perfect daily use CC cream to your rescue. Recommended !

Airbrush makeup is makeup sprayed onto the skin using an airbrush instead of being applied with sponges, brushes, fingers, or other methods. It is popular in film, theater, and sunless tanning; although systems designed for personal cosmetic use in the home are also available.
Very thin layer of foundation is used, which is layered again and again untill a flawless smooth base is achieved.
More often for the red carpet appearances, celebrities have been buffed to perfection with thin layers of foundation applied skillfully through a flick of their makeup artists’ wrist using spray on makeup.
Traditional powder or liquid based make-up can settle and appear in pores and wrinkles and be visible on HD film. As the makeup is sprayed on, it connects with the skin as millions of droplets of formula.The formula can create an even, sheer, natural appearance to the skin that, if applied properly for a natural look, can appear natural and non-heavy like traditional makeup. Airbrush makeup wears longer than traditional powder or liquid foundation, able to stay put upwards of 12–24 hours.
Airbrush makeup is also available for eye shadow, blush, eyebrows and lips and can be layered, shaded, highlighted and contoured. Application wise, the technique is more sanitary than traditional makeup application due the artist never having to touch the skin. It’s also faster, if done by a trained artist.
An airbrushing gun shaped like a pen is used..and few drops of liquid foundation especially made for airbrush is used matching your skintone which is then sprayed in layers all over the face covering the whole face.
Airbrush makeup is applied by layering several passes of makeup. This allows the artists to build upon previous layers to produce subtle changes. When applying foundation between 6-12 drops of makeup is used. The makeup is sprayed onto the face at a distance of 6-12 inches
