How to get SOFT GLOWY SPRING LOOK 2015

12:15:00

Hello beauties,

Spring is here and the most amazing part of spring is to look fresh beautiful glowy with just the right amount of makeup. Well I hate getting caked up on summer days as its already hot and you don’t want to feel sweaty with all your makeup melting down. So keeping all this in mind I just thought of creating a look which I would love to wear it on my summer days. I wanted to use the right makeup to give me that perfect summer glowy skin with pink lips. Let me tell you girls I enjoyed doing this look it was quick and simple.

So lets get started

Step 1 . I first prepd my skin using mac fix +spray all over my face.

Step 2. I took Mac Studio Fix Foundation in Nw 20 which is perfect shade for my skin and added High beam illuminator from benefit cosmetics. I mixed both and started blending on my face using Sigma Flat Kabuki brush you can use any foundation brush or beauty blender. Try to use less amount of foundation as in makeup less is always more. .

Step 3. For my under eye I used MAC Nw20 Concelar in moist cover. As I don't want any creasing of concelar under my eyes. I have set my concelar using BenNye banana powder . I filled my eyebrows with mac matte eyeshadow in espresso with angular brush.

Step 4. Now lets start with eyes I have used Inglot eyeshadow in 09 which is copper color eyeshadow all over my lids as base color. Then Mac Sable eyeshadow was blended in crease. And on my inner 1/3^rd lids I used Lorea’l Pink frost eyeshadow. For inner corner of eyes Mac Naked Lunch was used. I have also used Loreal Pink frost eyeshdow on my lower lashline .

Step 5. I have applied Colorbar smokey kajal in Just Green to bottom and lower lash line. And finishing it with Lots of mascara on upper and lower lashes.

Step 6. I have used first matte bronzer on my cheeks Bahama mama from Balm cosmetics(optional) later I have applied Posie tint from Benefit cosmetics on my cheeks using Mac stippling brush just to give a pink glow. And as highlighter over my cheekbones High beam from benefit was used(optional) .

Step 7. On lips first I used Clinique Chubby stick in Curviest Caramel and I added Revlon colorstay moisture stain in Rio Rush which gave me soft hydrated Pink lips.

You can try this look with different type of products too the only idea here was to create this soft glowy look.

NEW Lakme Absolute Sculpt Studio Hi Definition Matte Lipstick Review

03:34:00

Hi lovelies,

This season lakme has come up with its first hi definition sculpting matte lipsticks. And if you are obsessed with matte lipstciks just like me you gonna like this very new range of lipsticks from Lakme which claims that it’s a one stroke rich matt lipstick which even helps to sculpt and define your lips. I was waiting for this lipsticks as I had seen its post on instagram and they were going to launch it during Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2015. And so finally it was unveiled on first day of fashion week itself. There are 15 bright highly pigmented shades in rich maroon, bright pinks and deep reds. When I checked out at Lakme counter I just got 10 Shades to test in which Red Flames Red Rush and Burgundy Affair were quite similar too each other.

I picked up two shades Mauve fix which reminded me of Marsala color of the year and Pink caress which I will be reviewing today. They have same packaging like Lakme absolute Gloss Addicts which is in matte grey with see through cover. This lipsticks are soft in texture.
Glides on easily but you need to apply lipbalm if you have chapped lips. The color pay off is excellent and the formula is non drying. It gives perfect matte finish lips in one stroke. They are quite long lasting does not stain my lips and lasted for 7-8 hrs including meals.
They do not smudge or bleed. It gives a precise application. This lipsticks are highly recommended by lakme experts.

Mauve fix is a beautiful soft mauve color its muted and if you don’t like much brighter shades this one will be perfect for you. It will go on every skin tone and its one of my personal favourite too. Its a must have shade for this year. Its very similar to Revlon matte balm in Sultry.

Pink caress is a very bright pink shade super pigmented and one stroke is enough to give maximum opacity . When I swatched it on hand it looked like it had more coral tone but when applied on lips it was perfect bright pink. And it was totally different from pink me up and pink glam which were more on deep pinks.

Overall I loved it they are non drying matte lipsticks which also has great lasting power. All the shades are perfect for indian skin tone. Just make sure you try out shades rather than buying online so that you don't end up buying similar shades. Recommended!

HOW TO APPLY:

Step 1: Pull out the cap.

Step 2: Start applying from the centre of your upper lip.

Step 3: Work from the centre towards the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth.

Step 4: Glide across the entire bottom lip.

Price: Rs. 700 for 3.7g

BOBBI BROWN SHIMMER BRICK COMPACT REVIEW

03:15:00

Hello Everyone,

I am so pretty excited to know that finally Bobbi Brown has opened its first store in Mumbai at Palladium mall. And my first visit to it was simply amazing. This is my first buy from that store and it was none other then their one of the best selling products which is Shimmer Brick compact in Pink Quartz. It has almost 6 types of different shades like in Bronze, Nectar, Beige, Rose etc.. and few of them were already running out of stock. Well i was lucky enough to get Pink Quartz. Okay for all those who don’t know what shimmer brick Compacts are and how they are used as i would like to give a brief idea.

They come in glossy black plastic compact in square shape having 5 strips of shimmer powder. The case is light in weight and looks elegant having a mirror on one side. You can use single color strip as eyeshadow or whole together as blush or highlighter. They look like pressed mineralise powders and are very smooth in texture. They are best known for highlighters.

They have very tiny shimmer particles which just give a perfect sheen to your cheeks. The shade I have picked up goes with almost all blush when used as highlighter. It has got pale pink, brown ,beige, frosty pink, nude almost all colors from brown to pink and so i loved this compact. Pink quartz is also not so pigmented and so I love using them over a blush they are just sheer giving you a right amount of glow. You can always build this product as you desire. It blends beautifully in skin. The product does not fade on even after 6-7 hrs. Love the way it lasted for so long.

I think this highlighter will compliment every skin tone.You can even use it on daily bases without any blush by just applying little on your cheekbones forehead and nose. I love this brand and this product is absolutely must have for getting that warm pink glow in summer.

I also loved bronze in this range for medium to deep tones. Recommended!!

How to Use

Sweep the Face Blender Brush (sold separately) through all five shades of the Shimmer Brick Compact and dust lightly on cheekbones after Blush. Focus on applying shimmer on the top of cheekbones—where light naturally hits the face—for the most flattering look.

BOBBI’S TIP

My go-to for an everyday, gorgeous glow—for skin that looks lit-from within, focus on applying Shimmer Brick on top of the cheekbones."
