I am reviewing the shade Neon Rose..
Neon Rose is a bright neon blue based pink..they have the same texture, etc as all Baby Lips..and are quite moisturising..I have one Baby Lips in each of my clutches and bags 😀 You can see how obsessed I am with these..my winter staple !
I only wished Neon Rose was a bit brighter..and so were the other colors in the Color Brights Collection..they are not so bright and pigmented as expected.
But, other than that..a pretty everyday lip balm..with a slight brighter pink touch..read the whole review HERE

The all new improved version of Maybelline Gel Liner is out..with the old one being discontinued now..
I have used the old one too..it comes in a glass jar and the new one is in a plastic jar..the old one was priced at Rs.375/- for 2.8g. Read the previous one’s review HERE
The old one was more gel like..this one feels a little creamier..this one is anyday more dark and intense..It stays longer too..I have obviously not tried it for 36 hours..did anyone do ? :p But it stays for around 10 hours and then fades a little on my super oily lids..on the waterline, it stays for 4-5 hours. Does not smudge much or give raccoon eyes.
It gives a glossy look at the start and then settles to a matte finish.
The brush that comes along is almost the same as previous one..just a bit denser..I wish it was two sided with a very fine brush on one end..coz this brush does not help with fine lines or just defining..it gives thick lines..and is perfect for winged liner.
Here is the swatch..see how dark it is..
Pros:
1. Glides on super smooth without any tugging or pulling.
2. Super dark and intense..jet black.
2. It is long lasting and smudge proof as it claims..it stays on whole day without smudging or fading much even on oily lids.
4. Gives a nice matte finish.
5. It helps in getting that perfect winged liner look too.
6. Its perfect for tightlining the eyes.
7. It dries quickly and hence does not smear or spread.
8. Comes with a brush along.
Cons:
1. I would have liked more colors.
2. The brush is a little dense for fine lines..a two sided brush would have been perfect.
3. Its not meant to be used on waterline..irritates the eye a little.
Overall I would say I love how deep and dark it is..and once dried, it gives a nice matte finish and stays put come what may..my hand swatch did not go away even after multiple times rubbed hard. It stays for 10+ hours even on oily lids. And perfect for winged liners..Highly recommended.

Well, obviously nail art is not that easy..especially the jazzy ones..
Here are some tips for you all to begin with nail art..

I did a reverse french using a cello tape here..the base is Keep Up the Flame (red) and Denim Dash (blue) on the tips..I did the opposite on the other hand but since Denim Dash is matte..the red was not showing up on it..and it did not look neat enough. But I loved how the blue came up on this red. You can try different options in colored French Manicure.
Here are few more designs..
Slide Show: Diagonal Stripes..using Orange Fix and Buried Treasure.
Cat Stripes: Using Bold Gold as base and Blackout for stripes.
Reverse French : Using Tenacious Teal and Crazy Berry
4. Stamping Kit. When one is well versed with these basics, they can buy a nail art stamping kit which consists of stamping plates, stamping polish and one stamper and scrapper. Konad has many different kinds..the below one is a basic one.

These come in a small cute round bottle..the brush is amazing..super easy to use..they apply streak free and they come in different finish..matte, glossy, metallic, clear top coat..

215 Keep Up The Flame is an amazing glossy pinky red.
503 Denim Dash is a matte denim blue with blue shimmer.
221 Buried Treasure is a beautiful bronze brown with hint of olive green duochrome with gold shimmer..my favorite of the lot ! It has a metallic kinda finish. I loved this shade..quite unique.
These are so good for different nail art too..only glitch is when layered for nail art, they take forever to dry..though individually they dry sooner..and did not work when different finish is combined for nail art..like the glossy one did not show up on matte.

1. Economical.
2. 40 shades to choose from.
3. Different finishes.
4. Cute round packaging.
5. Easily available.
6. Dries quickly.

8. Stays for 6+ days !
9. Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free
Cons:
1. Some finish when combined do not work for nail art.
2. Takes time to dry when layered for nail art..though not individually.
I loved the fact that both the price and quantity is lower..coz its easy to finish up 6ml than those 15ml bottles..and saves on price too..plus we get to try more shades at the same rate..
I am in love with these..every shade I see..I fall in love with it 😀

New Maybelline 12H Colossal Kajal Review, Swatches
I had reviewed the Maybelline Colossal Kajal previously HERE. Now they have relaunched it in a darker and more long staying form..the previous one claimed 6 hours of wear and this one claims 12 hours..
Read on to know how it fares..
What the Company claims:
MRP: Rs.175/- for 0.35g
The packaging is the same..the same yellow swivel up mechanical pencil. Its nice, rich black and easy to apply..does not tug or pull.
Thats the whole qty |
I did not like the previous one much..as it did not stay longer on my watery eyes..in fact no kohl stays longer than 2-3 hours on me..
But but this one did ! For almost 5-6 hours which is a very good thing considering my watery eyes. But it does smudge a little more than the previous one..that did not spread around giving raccoon eyes..this one does at times..
Here is the swatch..
L: Swatch R: After smudging |
And on eyes..
Before, After |
Pros:
1. Its nice dark black.
2. Glides on nicely..no tugging or pulling.
3. Reasonably priced.
4. Stays for 5-6 hours on my watery eyes ! Thats a long time for me 😀
5. It does not go away completely leaving your eyes bare..and there is always a hint of it till the time you remove it.
6. Does not smear much..the swatch did not budge from the hand.
Cons:
1. Claim of 12 hours..I am not really sure about.
2. No Ingredients mentioned.
3. Does give raccoon eyes at times..especially when eyes watery.
