Garnier BB Cream Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Garnier BB Cream Review, Swatches and Comparision with Maybelline BB Cream

I know this is quite an outdated review for many of you..I am very late..but nonetheless..better late than never..

What the Company claims:

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.99/- for 18g, Rs.199/- for 40g

It comes in a small tube packaging..thats almost the size of your palm..quite similar to the Maybelline BB Cream..has the same small nozzle type dispensor..
Unfortunately Garnier one comes in only one shade..does suit me well..and anyone around NC 35-40 should not have much of a problem..above that, it might be a little lighter..but I guess it would blend up well.

Its light in texture as claimed and is moisturising too (but dry skin would need added moisture)..has SPF 24 UVA/UVB protection..covers up redness and evens skin tone..medium coverage..and stays for 3-4 hours after which it starts getting shiny and needs touch up.

Compared to the Maybelline BB Cream in Nude,

Maybelline comes in 3 shades (that have yellow undertones) and Garnier has one shade (might be lighter for people above NC 40)..Maybelline has SPF 21 and Garnier has SPF 24, Maybelline is more creamier and works better for dry skin, Garnier would work more for oily skin, Coverage wise Maybelline offers a tad bit more coverage.

T-B: Garnier BB, Maybelline BB in Nude

I loved using this and it was a staple until I found my love..another BB Cream..would review soon..

I do recommend this for oily combination skin and who do not need much coverage..its handy, economical and works well.

Would I buy it again: Yes..I do like it..but as I said I have found my love and I think I would stick to that..wait up for that 😀

Have you tried the Garnier BB Cream? Which do you prefer: Garnier or Maybelline ?

Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,
Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush Peachy Sweetie Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: For Cheeks that glow with a natural finish
Ultra light weight, silky, blendable powders
Meet the new blush on the block. So Silky and smooth, it blends flawlessly for the most natural finish.
Soft texture for a natural hue.
Easily blends with your skin color

Expert Tip: For the most natural look, always concentrate the color on the apples of your cheeks and blend well. Apply the blush along your cheekbones for instant contours.

Ingredients:

Comes with 3 fresh colors for your pretty skin: Creamy Cinnamon, Fresh Coral and Peach Sweetie.

MRP: Rs. 250/- for 7g (thats a ton of product !)

I am reviewing the shade Peachy Sweetie..

Creamy Cinnamon is a soft tan peachy brown, Fresh Coral is a peachy coral and Peachy Sweetie is a peachy pink..

I love how it gives a natural just out of the gym flush to my cheeks ! Finally a matte blush from a drugstore brand in India..that is quiet economical too ! I like I like :p

The packaging is flimsy..would shatter if dropped even once..does not come with a mirror or brush but I think its ok..at this price, we are getting a good enough quantity of blush..7g is hugee..

T-B: Unblended, Blended

Stays for 4-5 hours and then needs to be reapplied..I guess it would stay lesser on oily skin.

Pros:

1. Matte..and can be used by all.
2. Soft and smooth in texture.
3. Amazing qty.
4. Economical.
5. Easily available.
6. Easy to use.
7. Peachy Sweetie gives a nice natural flush to my cheeks..love it.

Cons:

1. Flimsy packaging.
2. I would have liked more colors..may be more pinks, dusty rose, plums, fuchsias, a brown to contour..all matte colors in blushes possible..
3. Staying power could have been better.

Overall I would say its quiet good..the qty, the price, and its matte..I love this shade..surely recommend it..

I would definitely gift this to many of my friends and its good for bridal makeup trousseau too..those who are new to blushes and want to start and are in college and want an affordable option..

Today I am reviewing 80 Gleaming Grenadine..it comes in a transparent long square packaging with a silver cap..almost like the normal Colorsensational glosses..

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

Read more HERE

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.

EOTD: Neutral Reddish Brown Eye Look

EOTD: Neutral Reddish Brown Eye Look

Guest Post by Reshma

Reshma created this reddish brown neutral look for us..

Products used:
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the bronze as base.
MUA baked eyeshadow trio in Innocence
Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Cocoa Bear
Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara

Firstly apply the colour tattoo all over the lid as a base and keep it under the crease. Next apply the dark greenish brown shade from the MUA trio to the entire eyelid <number marked (1) in the picture> and also to the lower lashline.
Then apply the (2) colour to the inner corners and (3) from the same MUA trio to the brow bone for a highlight.
Using a blending brush pick up some of that cocoa bear and blend the colour in the crease. Since cocoa bear is a matte colour it gives dimension to the look.
Finally using a black gel eyeliner just line the top and bottom lash line.
Curl the lashes and apply mascara and your done!

This is a quick simple look which looks great with brown eyes and medium skin tones.

You can also use similar colours that you may already have in your collection. As this is a very neutral look you can easily recreate it.

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 ?
