Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick in 11 Greige Rage (Rs.499)
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask (Rs.250)
Kronokare City Detox Face Wash 30ml (Rs.150)
Yuana Premium Hair Oil 50ml (Rs.337)
I had an option to pick one Sugar product from all the Sugar products and shades including the new Creme Lipsticks and the Smudge Me not new 10 shades.
I liked 1-2 shades in particular from the new additions and picked Greige Rage. I quite like this shade and happy with my choice 🙂
Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick Greige Rage
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask looks interesting, I haven’t tried it yet and look forward to trying it out.
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask
Rest two are deluxe sized samples, the Kronokare City Detox Face Wash is a repetition which I am not happy with. Yuana Hair Oil looks decent but it has mineral oil in ingredients which I am not too excited about.
The total value of the products in the bag comes to Rs.1236/-
Overall I would say it’s an ok bag. If you are looking to get a new Sugar product anyway, then you can go for it as you get your product plus three additional things. Otherwise you can skip this month’s bag.
Did you get your October Fab Bag? What did you receive?
After nail paints, Stay Quirky has launched lipsticks now. I got all 24 shades and have reviewed and swatched for you all.
MRP: Rs.275/- for 4.2g (Currently on sale at Rs.199/-) (Buy HERE)
They come in a small, rectangular packaging. The names are all super quirky, the shade options are really good. They have conventional neutrals to bold reds and berries to unconventional yellow, blue, green.
The best part is the price, they are pretty affordable and offer a pretty good qty.
The formula is semi matte, it does have a little shine initially but it settles off in some time. These are creamy and moisturizing and comfortable on the lips.
They are not transfer proof and stay for about 3-4 hours, the darker colours do leave a nice stain.
I highly recommend trying them for the price, especially if you wanted to try an unconventional shade or experiment a bit.
Here are all the swatches..I have divided them into 4 parts of 6 each i.e. from 1 to 6, 7 to 12, 13 to 18 and 19 to 24

Have you tried the Stay Quirky BadAss Lipsticks yet? What do you think?
Young, vibrant, exuberant, cheerful and a fashionista who exudes the girl-next- door vibe, Disha Patani is a head-turner, period. With an infectious smile, commendable sense of style, feminine aura and oodles of pertness, no wonder she has been catching the eyes of the Fash frat.
Both off-screen and on-screen, her appearances are to look forward to. On that note, let’s feast our eyes to her best off-screen avatars.
1) At the Lakme Fashion Week 2017 – Gracing the ramp with her bubbliness, Disha blended regal with chirpiness as she donned a gorgeous designer Jayanti Reddy’s creation at The Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2017. She wore an ink blue lehenga and choli combination that had a cream, polka dot, gotta Patti Dupatta embellished with huge tassels.

6) During Kung Fu Panda’s promotional event – Eliciting vibrance, zest and sunshine, Disha stepped out in a pretty red floor length anarkali from hot-shot couturier Anita Dongre during one of the promotional legs of her then impending flick – Kung Fu Panda. Keeping the look ornate yet not over the top, it was the gota work which catches eyes and induces a thumbs up from the fashion police.
7) On the ramp for Ritu Kumar at the India Couture Week 2017 – Setting the stage on fire as the show stopper for master designer Ritu Kumar at the India Couture Week 2017, Disha sported a floral sheer maxi with a cascading hem.

RIMMEL LONDON Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer 26 Noir Review, Swatches
By Linda
Hey Ladies,
Hope you all are doing good and gorgeous as always. It’s been a while for me with reviews, caught up with some personal issues. But now I am all ready to bring on all the reviews and products to you lovely ladies .So today’s review is of eyeliner from Rimmel London called Exaggerate Waterproof Eye definer.
Shade 26 Noir (Black). This is my to go eyeliner be it for a Smokey look , regular kajal or eyeliner. So let’s move ahead and find out how this product worked for me.
Product Claims: Glide-on full colour definition Soft creamy texture in a retractable pencil with built-in smudger for subtle blending and sharpener for high precision line. Waterproof formula for up to 10 hours long lasting wear. Choose your shade from creamy matte to high metallic, all so intensely pigmented. Dermatologist & ophthalmologist tested.
Packaging and Texture
I love the packaging of this product .It is a retractable pencil that has a smudger & sharpener on the other end of the pencil. Lightweight can be easily carried in your purse. The cap fits well tightly over the product and the smduger, hence maintaining the product from harsh temperatures and dust particles.
The shade is intense black and the product is soft creamy on application and glides smoothly over the eyelids and waterline.
Cost: Approximately INR 320 [1.500 KWD] for 0.28g
Usage : 30 months after opening
My take on RIMMEL LONDON Exaggerate Waterproof Eye definer:
I’m extremely satisfied with this eyeliner in regards for a daily wear purpose .It glides on smoothly onto to your eyelids and water line without much effort. Multiple swipes are required to attain the intensity of the product. Over the eyelids it finishes to a matte product. It did not irritate my sensitive eyes at all.
I’m a little disappointed in regards to waterproof claim of the product, if you have oily lids it will definitely smudge over your crease line , so it’s best to well prime or rather powder your eye lids to counteract your oily eyelids and avoid further smudging. It did stay put over the waterline through out.
The product can easily come off with an eye makeup remover without damaging you eyelashes. The smudger provided is soft enough to smudge the product over the eyelid (upper and lower) and to achieve a basic smokey look in seconds. I haven’t used the sharpner as yet. Do not retract the product too much as it might break hence waste of product
With this product you can achieve desired lines of thickness. I don’t think it’s is ideal for winged eyeliner since its difficult to achieve neat defined with this eyeliner, probably with the help of an angular brush you can achieve .I love to use it over the waterline as it remains intact for about 3-4 hours.
Pros:
Budget friendly
No eye irritation (can be used along with contact lenses)
Travel friendly
Has smudger and sharpener as well
Well pigmented.
Products last a long way
Cons:
Can smudge a little over oily eyelids
Availability
Not ideal for a winged eyeliner.
Rating: 4/5
Would I recommend RIMMEL LONDON Exaggerate Waterproof Eye definer? Yes!!! For the quality of the product and for provision of a smudger and sharper, it’s worth the buy.

Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics is back with a new launch, this time creme lipsticks. The classic old lipstick formula, these ones are super creamy and buttery. More like butter than cream, literally 😀
Claims: If you want the best of both worlds and love to have it all, then the SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick is made just for you! Intensely pigmented and long-wearing with a baby-soft finish, its creamy texture effortlessly straddles the line between glossy and matte for an easy, everyday look.

GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com
The packaging is exactly like the It’s a Pout Time Vivid Lipsticks. The same black rectangular packaging and the same qty, price is INR 100 less compared to that.
The lipsticks are launched in 5 shades for now, but I am sure they will add more in the future. The formula as I mentioned is super buttery, they melt while applying, so do not swirl up the bullet much, just stay to the tip.
They are not transfer proof, they do transfer a lot but do not vanish from the lips. They are quite pigmented and stay for around 3-4 hours, after which there is fading. But the deeper shades do leave a nice stain behind.
These are very moisturizing and comfortable on the lips, easy to apply, and do not bleed or feather. They are very easy to take off too, unlike matte liquid lipsticks, which are drying and uncomfortable and sometimes peel off the top layer of lips.
L-R: Subtle Island, Dial M for Magenta, The Brown Ultimatum, Revolutionary Rose, Berry Maguire
Subtle Island is described as Muted Brownish Pink. It’s an everyday wear MLBB shade for fair to medium skintones.
Dial M for Magenta is a deep magenta purple. Again a nice purple pink, would work for all skintones.
The Brown Ultimatum is a nude brown, for fair to medium skintones
Revolutionary Rose is a rosy pink, would work for all skintones. My favourite out of the lot.
Berry Maguire is a deep berry red, a nice muted berry, would work for all skintones.
Here are the swatches on me..
I hope you liked the post, do let me know your favourites in the comments below. I believe one shade option would be available in the next Fab Bag 🙂 Guessing for now :p
Have you tried the new Sugar Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks?
Today I am reviewing the 8 new shades added in the Nykaa Matteilicious Range, since I had not tried it before, I have also included a review.
Claims: Game, Set, Matte! Fall mattely in love with our Nykaa Matteilicious Crayons. These lip crayons boasts a remarkable formula that pushes the boundaries of color intensity with an extreme matte formula. This supreme formula glides on your lips effortlessly giving you that matte finish that you’ve always craved for!
Extreme matte finish
No feathering
One stroke application
Super long-wearing
Glides on effortlessly
Comfortable on lips
MRP: Rs.650/- for 2.8g
Shades Available:
Hot As Red
Next Level Nude
Pink on Fleek
Perfect Plum
Kiss N Tell
Purple Punk
Fired Up
Lacy Luck
Jade Rose
Mocha Sin
Twilight Dreams
Call Me Scarlet
They come in a standard lip crayon packaging, the difference between these and the Pout Perfect ones in terms of packaging is that Pout Perfect has a matching colour cap according to shade while this only has the bottom colour coded with a black cap and Pout Perfect doesn’t come with a sharpener, you need to buy it separately and this one does.
They have a smooth, velvet finish and glide on effortlessly as claimed. They have a velvet matte finish and are very comfortable on the lips. Everything as per claims.
These are not transfer proof and stay for about 5-6 hours without eating or drinking. These do not emphasize dry lips or fine lines, however you would need exfoliated lips before wearing these like any matte lipstick.
L-R: Kiss N Tell, Purple Punk, Fired Up, Lacy Luck, Jade Rose, Mocha Sin, Twilight Dreams, Call Me Scarlet
I have swatched all the new 8 shades here.
Kiss N Tell is a cool toned apple red, very flattering on all skin tones. I absolutely love this red on me.
Purple Punk is an aubergine purple, but this one is not super opaque like the rest. Slightly patchy
Fired Up is a bright tangerine orange, kind of patchy. Mostly such bright oranges are patchy across brands, I guess it’s the colour pigment.
Lacy Luck is a neutral brown, an everyday wear shade, would work for fair to medium skin tones
Jade Rose is my absolute favourite, a pink brown. It would work for all skin tones, an MLBB for deeper skin tones.
Mocha Sin is a very cool toned grey brown.
Twilight Dreams is another favourite, a deep berry brown shade without red undertones. A perfect fall shade.
Call Me Scarlet is a warm toned red, again suitable for all skin tones.
Apart from the light neutrals, all shades would work across skin tones. And I am glad they launched an interesting mix of shades.
My favourites are Lacy Luck, Jade Rose and Twilight Dreams. Also both the reds are quite pretty, and a matte red lipstick never goes out of trend.
Overall, I do like the lipsticks. Formula is great, shades are nice, very comfortable on the lips. I do recommend these.

Faces Ultime Pro Matte Play Eyeliner Black/Blue Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
Today I am reviewing my current favourite eyeliners! The new Faces Ultime Pro Matte Play Eyeliners.
Claims:FACESUltime Pro Matte Play eyeliner has a super long wear with a stay of 17 hours or more, and is quick drying and no transfer eyeliner. Be bold this summer, as the waterproof and sweat proof formula makes you even enjoy the water adventures with ease. The eyeliner, with its easy application, glides lightly over the eyelid, creating precise lines and flawless look. It’s high coverage delivers the deepest pigmented line and impeccable hold. Besides, it is dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested and approved.
MRP: Rs.649/- for black and Rs.699/- for blue
They comes in a sleek, regular eyeliner packaging. I absolutely love the felt tip brush. I only use pen eyeliners because I like the grip and stiffness of them. A soft brush just goes everywhere for a person like me who has shaky hands. And very few liquid eyeliners have felt tip brush, I am so glad this one does!
First of all, the pigmentation is amazing. It’s not watery unlike a few liners which require layers and going over 2-3 times for the eyeliner to show. This shows up in one stroke.
I love the matte look in eyeliners and these dry completely matte. They do not take forever to dry and do not transfer on upper lid, etc.,
These liners have everything I need and look for in eyeliners.
Only con would be they are pricey and not waterproof. I agree they are expensive, but I feel they would last long. These are smudge proof but not water proof, and hence also easy to remove.
The blue one is my favourite, it’s a bright cobalt blue shade and shows up well on the eyes without layering, as mentioned.
I wish they come up with more shades and even metallic colours in the future 🙂 In the exact same packaging and brush though, I love that!
I highly recommend these, my current favourite and maybe Holy Grail soon 😀
Docolor Fantasy Makeup Brush Set/Contouring Brush Review
Hi guys,
If you follow me on Snapchat and Insta stories, I had shared these brushes with you guys and many of you asked me to review them.
I am using these since about 2 weeks now, especially the face brushes. Docolor is a Hong Kong based makeup brushes brand, they have so many different varieties of makeup brushes, from sets to individuals and also a lot of accessories like brush holders, lash combs, instant brush cleaner, etc.
I have the 16 pcs Fantasy Makeup Brush Set and the Kabuki/Contouring Brush. They have synthetic hair and the body is plastic.
Docolor Fantasy Set: Inspired by rainbow’s colorful,among a sea of basic, black, utilitarian beauty tools,they are just as magical-looking,totally special as one might imagine.
Features: The handles are a beautiful glistening rainbow, the bristles are pastel pink hued, the overall effect is totally dreamy as you might imagine, this brush is created for all genders! Because makeup has no gender.
Vegan Brushes: Bristles are made of synthetic fiber, a super-soft fiber that feels luxurious against the skin, and no shedding that avoid embarrassing moments.
What’s In The Box? Brushes for applying the magical powder, foundation, concealer, eyebrow, highlighter, eye shadow, blending brushes — all housed in a beautiful rainbow box.
First of all, just look at the packaging. They are the most beautiful brushes I have ever seen. The ombre of white and pink bristles and gold/blue/green/pink/purple on the handles with the glitter texture looks amazing. These are aptly named ‘Rainbow’ brushes.
The bristles are super soft and fluffy, quite soft for synthetic hair, the powder brush is my absolute favourite. It’s one of the softest powder brush I have used. They haven’t shed hair at all yet. I love the build of it too, they are quite sturdy and tight.
All the face brushes come with brush guards, so that they can be kept tightly in the guards and don’t lose shape.
Synthetic brushes are great for cream products and for packing colour. The eye shadow blending brush is ok, it’s not pointy enough in shape. But you can always make do with blending brushes, the more the merrier.
One thing I would like to add is, they do not pick up a lot of product, hence need building up. Which is good for bronzers/blushes as you won’t end up with too much at a time. But if you need something that is quicker, then you might not like these.
Coming to the contouring brush,
Claims: This Single Flat Contour Trimming Brush is inspired by rainbow’s colorful, among a sea of basic, black, utilitarian beauty tools, It’s just as magical-looking, totally special as one might imagine. It is small and flat, the angular design of this brush makes it ideal for controlled application of powder and color. Excellent for blending, contouring and highlighting the complexion, allow you to achieve professional makeup application every time.It is designed to create targeted contouring and strong, sculpted cheeks. If you want to make your face look slimmer and gives you a super chiseled appearance, then this is the brush for you.
Now this has the exact same design as this is also from the Fantasy collection. Again a sturdy body and well packed bristles. It’s a flat rectangle shaped brush and is perfect for cream contouring. It works for powder contouring too, but best for blending creams. Even though it claims to work for highlighting too, the shape is not very suitable for highlighting.
Overall, I would say these are pretty affordable and stunning in terms of design. Pretty sturdy and I do recommend them for the price.
Have you tried Docolor brushes yet? They even have a unicorn collection 😀
Best of Bulletproof makeup: 8 Water Proof Foundations Perfect for Monsoons
By Ankita
Let’s imagine a scenario. It’s a beautiful Sunday morning and it’s drizzling. You just got out of the shower and got dressed in your best clothes. God, a day of fun after that long dragging week. What could possibly go wrong? You walk up to your dresses and there it is that nasty little zit, you reach for your favourite foundation but wait a minute, should you? or… better not! What if you turn up as the matchmaker from ‘Mulan’ !!!
Scared for a makeup melt down?? Here are a few foundations to your rescue, tried and tested.
1. L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
The biggest pro with this foundation that would beat any con is its shade range. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser. It gives a medium coverage, which can be buildable to a certain extent and provides a dewy finish to the skin, without making it look cakey
If you are up for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look, this is your bae. It claims to be a 5-in- 1 product that acts as a primer, foundation, moisturizer, sunscreen, and concealer. I would say it is somewhere between a BB Cream and foundation. It gives a matte finish and decent coverage. Just perfect for an everyday glam look!
This one has a whipped mousse consistency and is NOT so runny. It does provide medium to full coverage and is MATTE!! However, too much of it can look cakey. It has got a breathable texture and does not feel heavy on the skin. The staying power is quite long, say 6-8 hours.
4. NYX Professional Makeup Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation
Usually, matte foundations tend to get a little chalky and flaky at the end of the day, not this one. The ‘NYX Professional Makeup Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation’ gives a luminous finish to the skin and is full coverage. It has an oil free formula and comes in a tube packaging that fits perfectly in your handbag.
5. L.A Girl Pro Coverage Illuminating Liquid Foundation
If you are heading to crash a party, this one is best for you. It has got an illuminating property that gives the skin just the right amount of polished sheen.If you are wise enough with the shade selection, believe me, you have found your go-to party foundation. The finish falls more on the dewy side. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser.
6. Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation
Dont we all love this one!! The ‘Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation’ is one heck of a foundation. It ACTUALLY mimics and smoothens the texture of skin to provide a seamless coverage. With this foundation, you can go from low to high coverage without ever looking cakey. It blurs out the pores to provide a flawless canvas. The consistency is quite runny and is oh so matte! A yay for oily skinned beauties.
7. Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-In- 1 Foundation + Concealer
Now, this is some heavy duty foundation. It claims to act as both a concealer and a foundation (let’s not fall for that one!)
It is water resistant and is FULL COVERAGE. The packaging is quite sturdy as it comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The consistency of the product is quite creamy and blends effortlessly into the skin. The most notable feature is, however, the staying power, which is quite long.
Saving the BEST for the last, this one is a darling in terms of coverage and color. It blurs our imperfections and blends very easily into the skin. With a decent-full coverage, it makes the perfect companion for office and even party wear. It won’t look cakey unless you decide to go over board with this one. The consistency is not exactly runny, a little thicker than that I would say. This is one product I would highly recommend to all my buttercups!

First of all, the sleek and slim gold packaging is really pretty! The lipsticks are sheer in one swipe but are buildable for more intensity. They are not completely matte but have a creamy matte finish. Some shades are more matte though.

L-R: Mauve Silk, Grand Fuchsia, Red Velvet, Rosy Lips, Peachy Carnation, Crimson Town, Rich Cocoa
The qty is what I am disappointed with, 2g is half of what usual lipsticks are. For the price of 800, I definitely expect 3.5g if not 4g.
I have not tried them, so can’t comment on the argan oil formula but I love the shades Mauveness, Royal Plum and Rosy Lips.
