Island Kiss Tropique Pomade: Puerto Berry Blush

Hi guys. Hope everyone is doing well. It's already summer in Kolkata and I'm not enjoying the scorching sun. And today I'm going to tell you about a product which I bought 2 months back and have been putting it to test since. It is a tinted lip balm basically and it's from a brand called Island Kiss. I had bought it from Amazon at 50% discount mainly because I had to add something to my cart to avail free shipping. And honestly, I would not have bought this product if it were not on sale. But I quite like it now. So here's the review. Packaging: Well, honestly, the packaging is absolutely beautiful. The colour of the cardboard box corresponds to the colour of the product. It is in the form of a squeezy tube. I had no idea about the packaging before I got it and it's brilliant. And yes, the tube came in cardboard box withing another box. They've put a lot of thought in packaging. Box within a box! Quantity: 14g Price: 499 INR Ingredients : T

Coloressence Vibgyor Matt Eye Shades (Shade: EM-4)

Hello there everyone. I hope everyone's doing great and I am back again with another review and this time it's an eye shadow. Of all makeup items, I must tell you, eye shadow is my most favorite and I diligently use one particular shade almost everyday. An eye shadow doesn't just make your eyes look  beautiful but it also a mood lifter, as in my case. And it is the Coloressence Single Matt Eye Shade in EM-4 that I use almost every single day since I got this. It's a cool toned brown which I love to the core and you will know shortly that why I do so. Coloressence is an Indian drugstore brand that provides not only affordable products but also good quality makeup.  Packaging of the eyeshadow Packaging: It is a single eye shadow and comes in black pot with a clear plastic on top which enables to see the colour of the shadow. It also mentions the manufacturing date, expiry date, quantity, price, etc. on the bottom of the pot. I really appreciate this sort

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara (Washable)

Do believe me if I tell you that Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara is the first mascara that I've used as well as this is my first review on a makeup product. And let me tell you I'm completely smitten by it. Initially I was too scared to use a mascara and I didn't have much expectation from this product although I've heard/seen/read people praising this product all over the world. I bought mine from Nykaa at a discount. And I am so glad that I bought it. Left: Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara  Right: The wand Packaging: The mascara comes in a rose gold tube with a wand which is pretty unique. The wand may seem intimidating initially but with practice one will get accustomed to it. The wand is a curved one with short bristles on the concave side and longer bristles on convex side. Quantity: 9.5ml Price: 500 INR Claims: " Exclusive fanning brush with ten layers of bristles reveals layers of lashes for a sensational full-fan effect. Oph

Miss Claire Glimmersticks for Lips

Hello there pretty girls! I'll be reviewing Miss Claire Glimmersticks today which are basically lip liners. I never get tired of buying lip products, be it lipsticks or lip balms or lip liners, they all make me happy. I recently visited Hogg's Market (New Market, Kolkata) to buy some random stuff. I ended up in this shop called Ray and Sahoo. I casually asked them about lip liners and the SA suggested me the Miss Claire ones. She gave a huge box containing all shades and I went crazy. I believe there were a ton of colours to choose from but I bought only three of them. I hope I'll buy more in the future. Miss Claire Glimmersticks Packaging: The product comes in a pencil form which has to be sharpened and was wrapped in a clear sheet. Net weight: 1.8g Price: 50 INR Shades purchased: Mocha (L-12) - A true brown which has a subtle sheen Snow Pink (L-21) - A mauve which is an MLBB shade for medium to dark skin toned girls Lilac (L-50) - A stunning viol
