Colours on the Face

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

Hello all.! I am back with a review of another sunscreen. I have grown into a sunscreen fanatic of late, especially paraben free and pthalate free ones. Hence, I'm trying out different sunscreens.

Hello everyone!! Eyeliner is something that I'm addicted to. Be it a regular black or any bright colour, eyeliner is a must for me on a daily basis. I use pencils, gels and liquids but my most favourite form is gel. Gel eyeliner is a good option for girls with oily lids and it stays smudge proof all throughout the day. The first gel eyeliner I bought was from Maybelline (Lasting Drama Gel Liner). Since then I'm so hooked to this product and it lasts a long time and is also has jet black pigmentation. But over a period of time, it started getting dry and I wasn't able to pick enough product with my brush. Then my hunt began to search for the best method to revive my gel liner. I came across a number of methods and tried it all. But to my dismay, they were all temporary solutions to fix the dried gel liner. And one fine day, I found this particular method to get rid of the dryness of my liner. So the solution is: Put a single drop of oil (I used almond oil; ca...

Hello everyone. Today I'm going to review a sunscreen which is the Suncros Aquagel Sunscreen with spf 26. Of late I am only using products that are paraben free. As most of you know, paraben is a class of compounds that are used in cosmetics as a preservative. Although parabens help to keep our makeup and skin care products bacteria free, however it is said cause hormonal disturbance in our body. Hence, I prefer to be on the safer  side. I have used sunscreens from Lakme, Lotus, Khadi, Neutrogena and they all contain paraben. The Khadi sunscreen claims to be paraben free but I don't like its texture. On much research and consultation with a dermatologist I came across Suncros sunscreen. Suncros Aquagel Spf 26 Now, Suncros has many variants of sunscreens. You can find both cream and gel formulae sunscreens. Although this one has the term "gel"  in it, but the texture is actually that of a cream.  Packaging:   The sunscreen comes in a cubical ...
