By Sanchita

You know the saying, ‘Inner beauty is great but a little mascara never hurts.’ Well, I say the more the better. I saw more of a kohl girl than mascara one mostly because I couldn’t remove mascara properly before. Well, one day I tried out a mascara for an event and I was astonished the way it has turned my eye makeup. And from that day onwards I never skipped mascara. I loved all those tutorials where the bloggers use the beautiful falsies but honestly speaking, I could never get the hang of it.

The above is just a handful of their best products. Also, I would recommend their hair care range of sulphate free, paraben free, silicone free shampoos and conditioners and hair oils. Also their range of masques and ubtans are widely popular. Psst! FE has announced a new product, yet to be launched – Deeply Nourishing Facial Cleansing Paste with Almond, Pistacho & Honey. 😉

Editor’s Note: I absolutely love FE products Archana, have tried only a few though, but each and every product is so effective and works amazingly well. I am quite intrigued with the Tejaswi Emulsion and Nargis Shower Butter. I would also like to add a bonus 11 i.e. Kashmiri Saffron & Neem Delicate Facial Cleanser, it is excellent! Speaking of price point, I know it’s expensive but some of the FE products are totally justified. I would say the bath & body products can be replaced with similar brands like Iraya and Auravedic but the skincare is excellent and irreplaceable. I would anyway prefer FE skincare over Clinique, etc. 🙂

Top 12 Nude Lipsticks for Different Indian Skin Tones, Prices, Buy Online

By Sanchita

Nude or neutral lipsticks play a very important role when it comes to deep dark smoky eye makeup. also, while going for formal occasions, office wear or any neutral makeup look, you prefer going for a nude or neutral color which is give a nice look to the lips with a MLBB feel without washing out completely or looking like a pale ghost. Now, choosing such a color like this isn’t very easy and depends a lot on complexions. In the west, a lot of MLBB colors are used but when the same colors are used on Indian skin, it looks completely washed out. Now, Indian skin tones is very comprehensive in terms of shade card (remember the times when we complain about foundation shades) and has a lot of mixed complexions if you see it as a larger picture. Not every light brown come across an MLBB color so you have to choose as per your skin tone. Hence, I have divided the list into three categories – fair, medium to wheatish and dusky to deep. So, let’s look at the lip colors.

FAIR (NW-NC 15-30)

MAC has an extensive range of nude and neutral lip colors with brown, pink, beige or pale base. Honeylove has a deep yellow-beige base which shall suit the flat fair complexions. The texture is thick and creamy when applied and settles down to matte finish. MAC lipstick has all the quality you can ask for and the price is surely worth. MAC Yash is another gem from the brand which would happily look great on fair complexions. Both the colors has a special appeal when it is paired with dramatic smoky eyes.

2. REVLON Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick 87 Fleshtone – INR 550

I would highly recommend this shade for the warm fair complexions. It is a light beige or milky brown nude kind of color that looks extremely gorgeous.

This is one of the best MLBB color I have used so far. It is a nude pink shade but has sufficient warm undertones to suit the medium to wheatish Indian complexions. It is in the form of a chubby wooden pencil that requires to be sharpened. The texture is creamy but has a light weight formula that doesn’t go heavy or waxy of the lips. It has a satin finish with a tiny layer of sheen to the lips. The color is richly pigmented and looks fabulous as an office wear too. The price is slightly high but the color is a total winner.

8. MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick – INR 1450

Like I said before, MAC has extensive range and for the medium to wheatish range, I found MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick is the best choice.

The lipstick has a lasting matte finish that goes ever smoothly when applied, either directly or with a brush. The staying power is as commendable it gets and so as the wonderful pigmentation which gives brilliant color pay off with just single swipe.

The 9 to 5 range of Lakme has around 40+ shades and each one is as stunning as it gets. For the dusky to deep complexion I would highly recommend the lip color Toffee Nexus neutral color with the right balance of pink and brown. The color requires only 2swipes to get that complete opaque look and settles down to a powdery matte finish, very similar to the Chambor Powder Matte range. You also try the color Red Chaos or Coffee Command which has brown undertones to it. The price tag is reasonable and the lipstick is decently long wearing too.

12. Colorbar Deep Matte Lip Crème – 004 Deep Earth – INR 675 (BUY HERE)

Liquid lipsticks are such a rage now-a-days and Colorbar Deep Matte Lip Crème has a reasonable price tag too if you compare the quality of it.

The crème is smooth in texture and spreads well on lips and gives hydrating matte finish which is extremely comfortable to wear for dry lips as well. It gives a fuller pout and doesn’t settle into fine lines at all.

Top 5 Felt tip/Pen tip Eyeliners in India, Prices, Buy Online

By Simran

“You have to be calm, cool and collected around liquid eyeliners, because it can sense fear”

Hello everyone!

Let us all look back to the days when we couldn’t even draw a straight line on our eyes, and look at us all, we have mostly got so fierce with our eye liners. I find that an eyeliner adds a quick spark on the face and levels up your makeup game altogether. And, if you haven’t mastered the art of perfecting your eyeliner, worry not; that’s what felt tip or pen tip eyeliners are for. They help you create the perfect line even if you’re a bit too shaky or just a newbie in the eyeliner game.

Liquid liners can be a bit too messy if you’re a newbie and they provide no control over the applicator. I never started with felt tip eyeliners, honestly, i just jumped straight into a liquid eyeliner and by trial and error, i learnt on my own.

Felt tip liners help you create the most perfect lines and sharp wings, the only con being, they usually dry out pretty quickly. So, here’s my Top 5 felt tip/pen tip eyeliners to help you create that perfect wing:

1. Maybelline The Colossal Liner (Price: Rs. 425/-) (Review HERE) (BUY HERE for 340)

This has to be my most favourite eyeliner out of all the eyeliners mentioned here. It claims to be the perfect antidote to your eye liner woes, smudge-free with quick-dry formula ensuring long-lasting bold application. Fade-proof, lasting up to 12-hours long. It comes with a 0.4 mm Flexi Tip Applicator which enables error-free and quick application. Its empowered with Ink-pigment technology providing stunning, defining lines as well as intense colour. Initially, i hated this eyeliner since it didn’t use to last more than 2-3 hours or so; not like any felt lip lasts long but this one disappointed me at first. Then, i just tried using it after days by patting powder on my lids first and the results were magical. This liner lasted me for more than 8 hours and gave me really sharp lines. It is a must have if you want precise, bold, black and long lasting eyeliner.

2. Colorbar Ultimate Eye Liner (Price: Rs. 550/-) (BUY HERE for 512)

It claims to be highly pigmented giving an intense look. It is waterproof and stays on for long hours, without smudging or bleeding and you can also play around with the look you want to wear. This liner gives you the blackest lines and is completely smudge free. It lasted me a good 6 hours. It doesn’t come off easily until you actually use a makeup remover. It is worth a buy if you want an eyeliner for an all day usage.

3. Lotus Herbals Colorkick Curved Liquid Eyeliner (Price: Rs. 725/-) (BUY HERE for 690)

I bought this eyeliner after hearing bloggers and youtubers rave about, and i finished it pretty quickly since it just is so good. It claims to give proper holding position for comfortable application. Buttery soft texture glides over waterline effortlessly. It does not feel heavy. Stays on eyes for long time. I love the way the product is packaged, it helps you have a grip and control over what you’re doing. It gives bold black lines and the tip is perfect for even creating a thin line. The only con is the pricing which i find is a lot to spend on a felt tip liner which is barely 0.4ml. A must have for anyone who is new to the eyeliner world. It’s a dupe of the Sephora Curved Liquid Eyeliner.

4. Maybelline Hyper Sharp Eyeliner (Price: Rs. 425/-) (Review HERE) (BUY HERE for 361)

Can we all just agree that Maybelline makes the best and affordable products? It claims to be waterproof, does not flake and can be used on the inner rim. The carbon black colour and defined finish will add an instant drama to your eyes. With its precision-tip foam applicator, this innovative sweat resistant formula delivers vibrant wear with no feathering, flaking, or fading. This liner gives you really precise and thin lines, it stays for upto 5-6 hours and is pretty sturdy so you can carry it around wherever you go. If you need a liner for creating the subtle thin lines, just buy this liner without a second thought.

5. Lakme Absolute Precision Liquid Liner (Price: Rs. 425/-) (BUY HERE)

This company has been there forever, our mothers used its products, so you just know it is trustworthy. It claims to have a quick dry, long lasting, smudge-free formula that just doesn’t smear. This eyeliner will highlight the beautiful shape of your eyes. It comes with an easy-to-apply applicator which is in a pen-type design, making it simple for you to define the contours of your eyes, to give you the desired look in one stroke. This liner is yet again bold, black and provides you perfect control over the lines you create. You can create anything from a subtle thin line to a bold winged eyeliner. It lasts up to 6 hours and is smudge free. It is Lakme, just trust it and buy it. do i need to say anymore?

Editor’s Note: I absolutely love this list Simran. Maybelline Hypersharp was my favourite untill they launched the Colossal Liner. Now I only use Maybelline The Colossal Liner. My recent discovery which is really nice and I would like to add in this list as the 6th one is the PAC Cosmetics Liquid Liner Pen.

Top 10 Pink Lipsticks for Indian Skin Tones, Prices, Buy Online

By Sanchita

When I did the ‘Top 10 Red Lipsticks‘ post I thought I would be fun to do the Top 10 Pink Lipsticks as well, but girl! It was a tough one. Pink is such a color that no matter what the complexion is, it looks cute. So you can never ask a girl that which pink she prefers, because she is going to choose every pink lippy in her kitty. Every brand has minimum of 10-20 shades of pink in their range of lipstick and I narrowed down one pink color from every possible brand. I have included daytime pink to bright summery pink to Barbie pink for all occasions which will suit an array of Indian complexions. So, let’s take a look at the list.

1. Faces Canada I Do Ultime Pro Velvet Matte Lipstick – INR 649 (BUY HERE)

This is one of my recent discoveries which I wear regularly. This a soft pink, more of a dusty tea rose kind of color. A perfect everyday wearable pink for fair to medium skin tones. It is a subtle color which can be worn with a smoky eye as well. The color has a creamy texture which settles down to a comfortable matte finish without accentuating on fine lines. It is a long-wearing lip color and perfect for matte lovers. The price is also reasonable for the quality it delivers.

2. Streetwear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick – Pink Passion – INR 155 (BUY HERE)

Streetwear Color Rich Ultra Moist is one of the best affordable lipstick range. The packaging is cute, nice and totally light weight. The texture is neither too creamy nor too matte to accentuate to fine lines or dry lips and hence, one can easily wear it and would love it. Moreover, it is very forgiving to dry and chapped lips. Coming to the color, it is pretty deep fuchsia-berry sort of color and will suit all complexions. It instantly brightens up the face. You can also try the color Spell Bound which is more of a daytime pink kind of color and looks soft and chic.

3. MAC Flat Out Fabulous (Retro Matte) – INR 1450

Well MAC has a whopping price tag but you can’t deny the beauty of MAC. From the magnificent shade card to the indisputable texture, MAC has it all. From the pink family, I would prefer the Flat Out Fabulous (Retro Matte) which is a bright fuchsia pink (with slight purple tone) that serves every complexion. If you prefer more of a subtle pink, try out MAC Cosmo or Please Me for day time. The lipsticks are surely long wearing and highly pigmented that hides the pigmentation effectively.

4. Sugar Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick Mary Poppins – INR 799 (BUY HERE)

I am simply in awe of these lip crayons and one of the best in the market. The color Mary Poppins is a bright fuchsia pink without any undertones. It has a creamy powdery texture that settles in matte finish. Although it requires a lip prepping prior application. The color is highly pigmented and one swipe is just enough and the staying power is extremely long lasting.

Chambor recently launched these little babies and I am falling head over heel for them. One shade that stole my heart is shade no. 402 which is a dusty pink with mauve undertone. This is the exact dupe of the Kylie Jenner lip kit called Poise K and we simply adore her lip colors. This liquid lipstick is richly pigmented and gives a flat matte finish to the lips. It is extremely long wearing and come across as an elegant lip color for every complexion. (P.S: I just got this one co-incidentally! Review coming soon)

10. Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stain Mauve Dusk – INR 900 (BUY HERE) Review & Swatches HERE

Colorbar’s Mauve Dusk is more of a deep pink with slight mauve undertones that is flattering to every skin tones. It is a liquid lipstick with a very pretty wand that spreads the color on the lips very precisely without being messy. It gives a matte finish and hence dry lips have to prep the lips very well before application. The pigmentation is commendable and so as the long lasting formula to the lips. More importantly, the color, once dried, doesn’t transfer at all. (P.S: This is my absolute favourite!!)

Editor’s Note: This is a fabulous list Sanchita, have 3-4 of my all time favourite pinks in the list. I would like to add Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tint in Pink Fantasy and Magenta Magic, and Lakme Absolute Sculpt Studio Hi-Definition Matte Lipstick Pink Caress

And finally 10 gorgeous glitter nail paints which I believe are not out yet.

As you can notice, the whole range is about shimmer and glitter. I have 3 lipsticks and all 3 eyeliners with me, and the Gold Palette. These are already available online, so I thought of swatching them, in case you would like to buy them online, coz they are on discount on Amazon.

Illuminating Eyeshadow Palette in Gold

The eyeliner comes in this long, slender retractable packaging with a rubber grip to hold it well. It is super pigmented and with one swipe, you get the perfect, opaque color. The three shades available are Burnished Brown, Blue Sapphire and Emerald Green.

All three shades are true to its name and gorgeous. If you are not a color person, definitely get Burnished Brown!

The lipsticks I have are Tropical Shine, Pink Flash and Crimson Blink. All the shades have shimmer in them, but are super pigmented and give opaque coverage. Pink Flash doesn’t have gold or silver shimmer but self pink shimmer, hence it is not reflective.

And the palette in Gold has neutral shades from brown, nudes, taupes to olives.

This range is definitely expensive and I was not expecting such high prices :/ I absolutely love the Precision Eye Artist, they are super creamy, pigmented and amazing to work with. Definitely recommend those. In Lip Shimmers, shades like Tropical Shine, Rose Gold are very unique and pretty and perfect for weddings/brides.

I will do a detailed review on this range soon.

I hope you liked the preview and swatches, do share your favourites in the comments below.

By Sanchita

Hello everyone, I am back with another Top 10 list from a very well-known brand in recent times. Even if you would have asked me 2 years back to do a Top 10 with FACES Canada, I would have found it really difficult. Now, the scenario is totally changed and they have plethora of products to choose from. Over these years, they have really upgraded the quality of products and they are quite reasonable too. I have also noticed that the availability is good and easily accessible from online stores too. There are some of the products from FACES Canada that have become my HG ones.

So, here’s my list of Top 10 products that surely deserves to be included in your list of makeup. Let’s have a look at it.

1. FACES Ultime Pro Metaliglow – (799 INR) Review & Swatches HERE

Starting with this amazing and gorgeous highlighter that I literally use it every time when I am stepping out of the house. It comes in three shades – Opal (fair skin tones), Champagne (fair to medium skin tones) and Topaz (dusky skin tones). It has a gel-like texture that blends into the skin without much effort but you have to do it quickly because it has the tendency to settle down sooner than you can imagine. You can also mix with any foundation to get that luminosity and its looks totally natural. Bhumika has reviewed the shades Opal and Champagne and this one is a highly recommended from her side as well.

2. FACES Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayons – (799 INR) Review & Swatches HERE (BUY HERE for 675)

Chubby lip crayons are new trend and every brand has their own versions. FACES Canada, too, brought forward their versions and the quality is impeccable. It is available in 10 shades for now and the shades Peach Me, Midnight Rose and Sugar Coated has already been reviewed in detail on NLM, so surely check it out. The texture is soft and creamy which glides like a dream and settles down with a matte formula. The shade Midnight Rose is a must have from their collection.

3. FACES Magnet Eyes Kajal – (175 INR) (BUY HERE)

One of the best, creamiest and long wearing kajal in the Indian market today. It comes in a retractable red plastic body and looks very chic and pretty. The texture is soft and creamy and glides on the eyes without tugging or pulling at all. The formula is water proof and smudge proof with a staying power of around 6-7hours easily. The pigmentation is great and makes the product really stand out. It gives a jet black color when applied on the water line as well. Overall, the price makes it great for a daily wear kajal.

4. FACES Canada Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder – (699 INR) (BUY HERE)

With an innovative non-comedogenic formulation which offers protection from harmful UV radiation, the FACES Canada Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder comes in a very unique and convenient packaging with a sponge attached to the lid. The powder gives a soft blurry effect to the pores and smoothens out the skin tone with its light to medium coverage. The finish is matte but doesn’t clings on to dry patches. The powders are mostly neutral tones and thus doesn’t makes you look whitish or chalky. The oil control is around 4hours and after that you might need touch ups.

5. FACES Hi-Shine Nail Enamel – (199 INR) Review HERE

Available in more than 70 shades, the FACES Hi-Shine Nail Enamels are truly superb in quality. It comes in a thick glass bottle and delivers a glossy and high shine formula to the nails. The nail enamels contain a blend of non-harmful plasticizers which modify the nail enamel film to be flexible, thus resisting chipping and cracking. It also provides proper hardness, gloss and adhesion to the nail. These lacquers are TOLUENE & DBP, Camphor and Formaldehyde free and won’t damage the nails in the long run.

6. FACES Long Wear Eye Pencil – (449 INR) Review HERE

The FACES Long Wear Eye Pencils are considered to be one of the best eye pencil with a reasonable price tag. It is available in 9 shades and each of them has a beauty of its own. The texture is soft and creamy and hence you can easily create smoky eyes with it. It gives a matte finish after setting down within 5-10mins and has a water proof and smudge proof formula. Free of preservatives, dermatologically and ophthalmologically approved, the eye pencil are great for water line too. The shade Black and Navy Blue are the raved ones in the collection.

7. FACES Ultime Pro Velvet Matte Lipstick – (649 INR)

FACES Ultime Pro Velvet Matte Lipstick claims to be an exclusive lipstick with an unbeatable gliding quality and unique satin finish. It comes with a sleek matte black packaging with twist up function. The texture is truly creamy and glides like anything on the lips. It is one of the most comfortable matte finish that doesn’t dry out the lips sucking life out of it. However, do make sure to scrub and prep your lips before you apply the lip color. The staying power is commendable and you are a matte lippy lover, you have to try this out.

8. FACES Ultime Pro Eyeshadow Crayon – (799 INR) Review HERE

The FACES Ultime Pro Eyeshadow Crayons are one of the recent launches from the brand and truly an amazing one. It is available in 6 shades for now with pretty names and comes in a sharpenable chubby pencil packaging along with a free sharpener. The color coded packaging is extremely good and the eye shadows are pretty long wearing. The texture is smooth and creamy which makes it perfect to blend and layer as much as you want. The pigmentation is also great and application is so easy that a beginner can also use these.

9. FACES Prime Perfect Foundation – (699 INR)

The foundation is considered one of the best foundations for the oily to combination skin for the summers. It comes in 5 shades although dusky complexions might not find a good match. It is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid that delivers deep hydration & keeps skin nourished with sun protection and anti-ageing formula. The texture is creamy but it sets very quickly hence needs to be blended fast. The coverage is medium to buildable but gives a great finish of satin matte to the skin. For the price, I would say that this is a great foundation for daily wear with a wear time of 5-6hours.

10. FACES Sparkle Dust Stackable – (899 INR) Review & Swatches HERE (BUY HERE for 722)

The Sparkle Dust Stackable are stack of 6 color sparkles comes in 4 different family of shades. These are fine milled glitters with powdery texture and Bhumika has already shown in her review that these can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner, glitter nail paint, highlighters, blushes, etc. So have your fun and experiment with these amazing glitters for a very reasonable price.

Editor’s Note: I absolutely love some of the Faces Products, and they keep launching something new. Currently they are revamping all the old stuff into new packaging and formula. The Faces Eye Pencils are the best, have been using them since they were priced at 249, they have increased the prices a lot now! Also would like to add their skincare range, new Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayons and their Moisture Rich Lipsticks. Even their blushes are quite good.

So, what is your favorite product from Faces Canada?

So I have sorted, based on my long experience of working with them, top 5 products from Neutrogena which is a drugstore, dermatologically recommended brand!!!(I so wish if it could be available during my early teens).It has a wide range of products spread across all skin types and skin concerns. Their popularity speaks for itself so without further ado let’s find out.

1. NEUTROGENA ULTRA SHEER DRY TOUCH SUNBLOCK SPF 50 (BUY HERE for 449)

OMG! This is my Holy Grail sunscreen.

Doesn’t break out, suited for all skin tones. A must have!!!
Regular size 88ml retails at 499 INR and travel friendly size 30 ml retails at 199 INR

2. NEUTROGENA DEEP CLEAN FACIAL CLEANSER FOR OILY SKIN (BUY HERE for 301)

It’s a gel based face wash best for oily, acne prone skin (contains salicylic acid) ,oil and alcohol free making skin cleaner and calm. Maintains skin oil balance, doesn’t breakout, mildly fragrant though lathers less but that doesn’t effect its efficacy. May not suit dry skin as name suggests. It’s best at its price
Regular size 200 ml for 350 INR and travel friendly size of 50 ml at 95 INR

3. NEUTROGENA NORWEGIAN FORMULA LIP MOISTURISER (BUY HERE)

Another must have product is this lip balm which comes in a pocket friendly packaging with secure snap on cap. As it is transparent, fragrance free and has SPF 15 it is perfect for daily use.

4. NEUTROGENA OIL FREE MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 15 (BUY HERE)

My personal favorite is this 2 in 1 product (moisturizer cum sunscreen) which is non-greasy, alcohol free and non-comedogenic with SPF 15. It absorbs into skin very quickly, consistency is just right, quantity needed is very small to cover whole of the face-a little goes along way! Perfect for oily, acne prone skin. Absolute fragrance free is an added advantage. I also adore this for the travel friendly packaging as pumping dispenser comes with the lock so its 100% spill free in your bag. In all, excellent moisturizer to wear under everyday makeup.
Retails for 349 INR for 115ml

5. NEUTROGENA DEEP CLEAN BLACKHEAD ELIMINATING DAILY SCRUB (BUY HERE for 216)

Last one to make it to top 5 is mild daily scrub, gel based with small orange granules which aid in cleaning and unclogging the pores without being harsh on skin as many other scrubs do and thus its suited for daily use. Salicylic acid being one of the ingredient makes it safe for oily acne prone skin though elimination of blackheads in Toto isn’t seen but one can feel the deep cleansing it does.
Retails for 240 for 100g of product

So these were my recommendations based on my reviews. Do let me know if these worked wonders for you as well.
