MAKEUP REVOLUTION REDEMPTION PALETTE-ICONIC 2

04:31:00

Hey angels,

It’s a NEW YEAR time last few days left for 2016. Countdown begins...So before the year ends.. I just went for some crazy makeup shopping. I found Makeup Revolution store in Mumbai Most of you know Makeup revolution is London brand which has good affordable makeup. The store had LA GIRL COSMETICS and MUA too. I picked up MAKEUP REVOLUTION REDEMPTION PALETTE IN ICONIC 2. Its so confusing to pick one eye shadow palette when you have so many options. Makeup revolution has amazing eyeshadow blush and highlighter palettes at much affordable price.

They are easily available online too but I liked going to store and swatching all of the palettes and choosing one.

So this palette contains 12 eyeshadows in matte, pearl and shimmer. While most of them are shimmer and pearl only 3 are matte. I will be swatching each one so you get better idea of it.

It comes in black plastic palette palette which looks quite sturdy and decent to me. It has a transparent covering so you can see all the shades without having to open the palette.Also I find them very easy to carry while travelling. It has 12 vertical strips of shadows.

The texture of shimmer and pearl ones are soft and smooth very highly pigmented. Some of the light matte shades are less pigmented when compared to darker shades.

It has all the colors like gold rose gold, nude, beige, black which can be use to create any party or wedding look. Also this palette is great for everyday look. I really loves some of the shades as they were not dry or patchy on application instead I felt more buttery. It doesn’t contain any fragrance. I have a fair skin tone so most of the shades goes well on me. But for medium skin tones First 6 shades wont show up while last 6 will. All the shadows are blendable except for 1-2 matte ones. The shimmer ones contain very finely milled glitter so you don't feel gritty and they can be easily removed.

I tried them using without primer it lasted for 2-3 hrs. I would prefer using with primer because most of them have oily lids and it can give crease lines.

This palette does give fallouts. But otherwise they stay in place .

Overall recommended the shades are really pretty and versatile you can create your own looks. Again I would say its quite affordable palette and value for money.

If you have tried them please let me know how you find them in comments below.

NEW MAYBELLINE MAGNUM BARBIE MASCARA REVIEW

10:55:00

Hello angels,

I have been really trying to keep up with my posts. Its going to be another busy week and before the days pass by I just want to keep you updated with some of the latest products. I recently noticed this Maybelline Magnum Barbie mascara which is the new launch from maybelline. This mascara really looked attractive and something different from usual mascaras in the market. It claims to give a doll like lashes. I love buying mascaras especially when they are from drugstores.

This mascara comes in cute yellow tube with metallic pink cap. The packaging of this mascara is very different from every mascara that I owned. A very girlie and attractive packaging.

So this mascara has new doll it up brush. The wand of this mascara is very different from their colossal volume express. It has curvy brush with duo fibre.

It comes in only one shade which is like a true black. The texture of this mascara is very creamy and just applies effortlessly on lashes. You can use this mascara on upper as well as lower lashes. The bristles are not so densely packed so instead of much volume it just helps coating each every lash with the mascara. But the formula is very pigmented which helps my lashes look so black. It helps in giving VERY little volume and at the same time it also curls up my lashes. It gives you that curly spidery effect lashes which I liked. So basically as name says Barbie it suppose to give you a doll like lashes. This doesn’t help you give tons of volume but one having already thick lashes will find this mascara very effective.

This mascara after drying off it doesn’t flake or make my lashes hard.

Its not mentioned on packaging as waterproof but this mascara are Waterprrof. It stays on well for around 6-7 hrs and it holds the lashes in its place. This mascara does't have wet formula and I personally don’t prefer wet formulas as it takes time to dry and it just gets messy on my upper eyelid. Also the wet formula is very difficult to apply on lower lashes. This mascara does give little clumpy effect but only when you apply lots of coat.

I recommend this mascara if you want something more from your routine mascaras. This is good option for someone who has thin lashes or one having straight lashes. Its a good mascara for everyday use. What I loved about the formula that it dries of easily. And gives you a spidery kind of lashes which is unusual. Also according to price Maybelline always have very reasonably priced mascara If you are mascara junkie you definitely need to buy them. I am always in scarcity of mascara so I definitely don’t mind buying them and using them.

Let me know below in comments how you find this product to be?

COLOURPOP Fauncy Cream Color Gel Set REVIEW

03:14:00

Hello Angels,

Today I am going to talk about this beautiful gel liner set which retails for only $30 now if you love playing around with cream gel color pots and retractable liners you got to have Fauncy. I simply love colour pop cosmetics they have just best of eye shadows and lippie sticks. This is my first purchase of a complete set from colourpop I am already impressed with this brand for its super pigmented shadows and creamy formulas.

So lets start with the packaging it comes in a beautiful glossy hot pink box having a full side mirror on one side.

This set contains 3 eyeliner pencils and 3 gel liner in pots so you get 6 shades in all. This eyeliner pencils are gel based they are smooth and gives one stroke smudge proof application. They glide on easily without having to drag them or pull. You can intensify the colors by adding more layers. This liners are almost similar to the gel liners which comes in pot. You can use them on lower as well as upper lash line. It goes well on waterline too. There is no watering or burning of eyes when applied on lower lash line but as it contains glitter I would suggest to using it on upper lash line. The texture is quite smooth even when it contains shimmer it doesn't feel coarse or gritty. They don’t fade or flake after application. They stay well for 8 hrs without smudging.

The colors are really unique and I will be describing each and every shade down below.

Bustier

It’s a very deep color almost like a deep olive green. This is highly pigmented pencil and contains green shimmers. The formula is soft creamy and feels very light on application. When 2-3 layer are addd for more opacity it almost looks like black. Its a matte finish

Soiree

One of my favourite colors in set. I love grey pencils and they suit my skin tone and eye color well I am glad they have charcoal grey pencil in this box. I am totally going to adore this pencil. It has some hints of pearly gold silver when closely observed. This is semi opaque pencil so you may have to swipe 2 time atleast. This is less buildable compared to bustier. It has metallic finish.

Frill

Frill is a beautiful lavender color. It’s opaque super pigmented. And very easy to build. I never had such color pencil in my stash. A great color to use on the water line.

It’s a icy lavender having light shimmer its very much soft nothing so bold but more suitable for cool skin tone. It has metallic finish.

1ST BUSTIER , 2ND SOIREE, 3RD FRILL

Bustier cream gel color

Its almost similar to bustier gel eyeliner deep olive green. It has a blackish base with more opacity. Its deeper, darker and creamier than liner. Very highly pigmented. You can even create smokey eyes with this. But after setting they don’t smudge at all they are almost waterproof. And stays well for10 hrs.

Soiree cream gel color

Compared to gel eyeliner this is something different. Its again in base of black having green and brown tones with lot of gold sparkle in it. The texture formula is similar to bustier cream gel color.

Polar cream gel color

One of my favorite from cream gel color its black shade having lot of colorful glitters in it. there are not chunks of glitter so it looks quite amazing after applying. The formula is bit drier compared to other two may be due to glitter. You can use them as eye shadows or eyeliner. There was no smudging but I felt the glitters migrated as I could see them on my lids after few hrs. Due to dry formula its difficult to blend if using as eyeshadow and can be litter harder to pull it out as a liner.

1ST BUSTIER, 2ND SOIREE, 3RD POLAR

Overall recommend its good according to price very affordable I would say. You get some unique colors in liner and cream gel colors. They have very good pigmentation .. I liked the formula. The colors can really go well on many skin tones except for frill which I am not so sure about it. but if you love doing smokey eyes this cream pots are also really great. This set is all for keeping attention to your eyes. Have you tried colorpop cosmetics? I hope they have a free worldwide shipping available soon.

TOO FACED SEMI SWEET CHOCOLATE PALETTE REVIEW SWATCHES

00:33:00

Hello sweeties,
I Finally got my Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette which is a recent addition to too the original Too Faced chocolate Bar Palette..

This palette has 16 eye shadows packed in most attractive chocolate tin box packaging. I haven’t used the original chocolate palette but i got hand my hand on semi sweet and i absolutely adore it.

It has big size mirror inside. This eyeshades smell delicious and they just tempt you well the smell doesn't last forever still i love them. All the shade names are related to chocolate which is lovely. I liked the way whole packaging is done it makes you feel you bought a chocolate bar.

Most of the eye shadow in palette are pigmented soft and buttery. Few are on sheer and on drier side which was little disappointing. Almost all apply evenly on eyes. There are few mattes and few shimmery eye shadows. I loved how pigmented they are. Shimmery eye shadows are very finely milled so they don't give chunks of sparkle its easy to blend.

This palate is all about warm brown to deep brown shades having some highlighter shades too. I think most of the skin tones can carry this eye shadow pretty well. You can even use this eye shadows with wet brush to add intensity or you can just apply dry . Staying power is for 8 hrs and they don’t smudge or give any fall out. Well I like to use them over my MAC painterly pot so my eyeshadow stay pretty long and give me better color.They have all the shades name written on back of the box and they are also on the palette above individual eyeshade pan.

Here are the shades

Licorice- Matte black with good color pay off.

Coconut cream- matte cream with yellow tones good color pay off.

Nougat – Light Peachy brown warm undertones having less color pay off you have to build this color for opacity. Its almost like a base color on my skin tone barely could see the color.

Truffled- Medium brown with warm tones with good color pay off .

Hot fudge- Shimmery dark brown with excellent color pay off. Very soft buttery does not need over layering.

Cocoa Chili- Dark brown with gold sparkles. It’s a matte eye shadow giving good color pay off.

Pink Sugar- Shimmery pink very sheer and doesn’t transfer on lid much.

Puddin’- It’s a medium brown with little bit of gray tone gives matte finish with good color pay off.

Blueberry Swirl- it’s a dark blue with shimmer less pigmented than what it appears in pan.

Peanut Butter- its brown having orange tint. Quite bright excellent color pay off.

Frosting – As name says frosty brown smooth in texture and excellent color pay off.

Rum Raisin- Taupe brown color with good pigmentation. Easily blendable but on drier side.

Mousse – Matte medium brown. Semi- opaque and fairly pigmented but on drier side.

Caramel- Golden brown giving metallic finish color pay off is excellent.

Bon Bon- Copper brown giving metallic finish very good pigmentation and easily bendable. Love this one.

Butter Pecan- Used as highlighter sheen buttery light gold color having good color pay off. I love this color its so pigmented.

Overall recommended and totally impressed you can create brown Smokey eyes dramatic look or simple natural look. The two shades which I really didn’t like are Pink Sugar and Nougat they are almost very sheer. And doesn’t transfer much on lid.

You can have so many different looks from this one palette. And thats why I totally adore this warm toned palette.
Indulge your beauty craving with 16 antioxidant-rich, cocoa powder-infused matte and shimmer shades of warm caramels, deep mochas, bronzy chocolate hues and a pop of sugared blueberry.
