Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal - Review, Swatch

Hi everyone, today I am reviewing the Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal. Now you might be surprised to know the I just picked up this kajal as one fine day I had a whim of buying something and that something went on to be 4 things: 2 kajal pencils (one from Nykaa and the other from LA girl), a nail paint (from Essence) and a pack of cotton pads. Not that I needed any of those but you might know that us, the women folk, can be little frivolous when it comes to shopping. BTW, I got everything from Nykaa. I picked up this kajal because of the packaging (I love the colours used).    Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal   Packaging: The kajal comes in a retractable pink barrel with a black cap (looks pretty). This kajal comes in a cardboard package. Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal (the packaging) Quantity: 0.35 grams Price: 199 INR Review: I have a love-hate relationship with Nykaa Rock The Line Kajal.

Hi everyone! I am yet again reviewing another product from Essence. I have been waiting too long to review this mascara. This is the third consecutive Essence product that I will be reviewing.

Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've reviewed a product and today I'm going to review the Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in the shade Ms Moneypenny. I was searching for a nude eye pencil and chose to purchase this one. The reason being: Essence is an underrated brand in India. So let's see how this has been performing so far. Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil: Ms Moneypenny Packaging: It is a retractable, colour coded pencil with details mentioned in silver. Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil Ingredients List: Not mentioned. Quantity: 0.28 gram Price: 249 INR Reveiw: I initially bought Ms Moneypenny for using it on my waterline. But little did I know that it was shimmery. However, I've used it on my waterline and haven't faced any inconvenience in doing so, in terms of irritation. The colour is rose gold. It glides smoothly and is very pigmented. It is smudge proof and water proof once it dries. On my waterline it lasts for 4...

Essence Lip Liner - Satin Mauve

How are you all doing gals? I am currently obsessed with lip liners. Yes, I use them not only as a lip liner but also as a lip colour or lipstick. This particular one is from a brand called Essence which is available on Amazon and Nykaa. I chose the shade Satin Mauve to give this line a shot. From the day I received this, I've been addicted to this lip liner. And why not? This is just fantastic. Let me make a point right here itself: do buy this lip liner if you're addicted to lip liners. If you want more details, then please read the following as well.   Essence Lip Liner in Satin Mauve Packaging: Nothing fancy, nothing gimmicky, the lip liner comes in a wooden pencil form which needs to be sharpened after every 2-3 uses.

Colourpop Super Shock Eyeshadows

I love eyeshadows till death parts us. I have a whole lot of adrenaline rush when I see, read or even think of eyeshadows. Unfortunately, I don't own a whole lot of eyeshadows. I don't even own a single palette or a quad. That's mainly because either I don't like the assortment of colours or the price and even the presence of parabens makes me cross off a palette/quad from my list. Hence, I am more on collecting single eyeshadows. Making my own palette is expensive but that way I exactly know what colours I will use and buy according to my taste. Colourpop has become a sensation. Be it the Super Shock Eyeshadows or Lipsticks, every girl needs them in their vanity. And why not? They are super affordable. Although Colourpop ships to India but I decided to get a few eyeshadows from an Instagram seller when they were on sale. The two shades I got are Wattles and Weenie. Colourpop Super Shock Eyeshadows Left: Wattles Right: Weenie Packaging: The eyeshadows come...

Miss Claire Orange Corrector/Concealer

It's review time again. Due to my increasing dark circles, I bought an orange corrector to diminish/hide them. Clinique, NYX, LA Girl, Kryolan and many other brands have orange corrector. I intended to buy the Kryolan one but they have increased the price of the 4 grams pot from 350 INR to 750 INR (I inquired in some stores at New Market). So finally I bought the Miss Claire one. I wasn't too keen on getting it as I know most of the Miss Claire products contain parabens; to my sweet surprise, this didn't. Packaging:  The corrector comes in a small, transparent, acrylic pot with a black cap. The pot is compact and travel friendly. Packaging of Miss Claire Orange Corrector Ingredients List: Ingredients List Quantity:  6 grams Price:  250 INR The product! Review:  The first thing you will notice on opening the pot is that it is too orange but on blending it becomes a light orange more with yellow undertones. Since this has a strong ...

Inglot Freedom System Concealer - MW100

Review time. And this time it's a concealer. I never used concealers before but after I got this I must say I quite enjoy concealing. Now, there are many budget concealers available in the market but I chose Inglot over most others because I believe Inglot concealers are not too talked about and I wanted to experiment as I have no frame of reference to judge it. I will not say that I'm too happy with the concealer mainly because I chose a wrong shade for concealing (thanks to the SA as well!) and it creases a little when used around the eyes. But it works as a highlighting concealer for me, so that's good. The shade that I got is MW100. Packaging:  Since it is from the Freedom System so it comes in a metal square pan which is meant to be stored in a Z-palette. I don't have a Z-palette so I've stored it in an old compact case. The pan was enclosed in a hard plastic cover which came in a black cardboard box.   The packaging The pan (look at the damag...
