NEW MAYBELLINE DREAM ONE DAY PERFECT LASTING BASE REVIEW

10:29:00

Hello angels,

Ahhh!! Finally there is a new primer in town. As there is always lack of good drugstore primer I was so excited to get one from MAYBELLINE. Today I will be reviewing NEW MAYBELLINE DREAM ONE DAY PERFECT DUAL PROTECTION LASTING BASE. I was really confused when I first saw it because it helps to hydrate your skin at the same time absorbs sebum and reduces oiliness. This primer comes in a plastic bottle with a nozzle. And a silver twist open cap. The nozzle dispenses right amount of product. The makeup base is a Peachy white liquid which gets quickly absorbed into skin. The texture is smooth and watery which leaves a shine free matte finish.

This base goes on all skin tones as it doesn’t have any color pigments.

You have to use it before application of makeup take few drops on your fingertips and blend into the skin. As you all know I have a combination skin this doesn’t leave any oily residue on my skin. I really liked the formula even though applied in more quantity it feels like nothing has been used and gives fresh skin look. Its so light weight and helps my makeup to stay for 7-8 hrs. When I am out in hot and humid climate I do observe some shine after 3-4 hrs on my tzone. It gives a semi matte to complete matte finish. Also it hydrates my skin and I don’t feel a need to use a moisturizer. But if you have dry skin you may have to use light weight moisturizer. The foundation blends well on this makeup base. It contains spf 18pa++ which is great to use for summers and day time.

I am using this almost every single day. You can also use under bb creams or tinted foundations. It really helps my makeup to stay shine free for 7hrs. The formula gets quickly absorbed into skin so its a quick way to get a lasting makeup. It doesn’t contain any silicone. So it may not cover your pores completely or even out your skin surface but still gives you flawless makeup look. It makes my skin feel fresh without clogging pores.

Overall I would definitely say this is a must have product. It works on all skin tones, various skin types and in all climates. This will definitely make your makeup stay long. Highly recommended for normal to oily skin types. Its available at very affordable price range.

LOREAL INFALLIBLE PRO CONTOUR AND HIGHLIGHT PALETTE REVIEW

04:13:00

Hello angels,

Today I will be reviewing NEW L’oreal Infallible Pro Contour & Highlight palette.

Contouring and highlighting is still a ongoing trend and everyone is looking for new products which are easily available at drugstore price. Also beginner wants to get a pro touch to their contouring and highlighting skills. Sculpting face has become much easier due to such high quality products available at affordable price.

This palette is recent launch and is available in two shades MEDIUM and DARK. DARK is for medium to dark skin tones while the MEDIUM is for fair to light skin tone. I choose the MEDIUM one. It comes in a black rectangular plastic compact. The highlighter and contouring are placed in same rectangular pan in the top half off the compact. When you open the lid you can see mirror on one side and brush on the other. The brush has a FISH TAIL shaped bristles for defining the cheekbones and making it easy for application in just one stroke.

This palette is easy to use and now you can have contouring on the go due to its travel friendly packaging. You have the mirror and brush inside which makes everything on the go. This palette is best for the beginners as the powder are super blendable with the instruction given on the back side of the palette.

Also the brush has the unique shape so when you swipe over the palette one end picks up the contouring powder the other one highlighter.

Basically they are completely matte powders. They are soft in texture and easily blendable without making your makeup look heavy. Also it can be used for everyday purpose. The pigmentation of the product is fair enough. I wouldn’t say this is the best drugstore palette available but it quite reasonable when compared to some palettes which can't be carried while travelling.

THE MEDIUM shade contains light brown powder with warm tones. And a champagne color highlighter which has a better pigmentation than the contouring powder. The highlighter doesn’t have and visible shimmer and looks very subtle adding soft glow to cheeks. I was disappointed by the contouring powder as it was very less pigmented and I had to put multiple swipes. Though the shades were just fine for my skin tone. The brush picks up very less product and I didn't find convenient to use. Also I wanted something which is strongly pigmented and having intense color payoff. The powder doesn’t flake or fade. Lasting power is for around 5 hrs it stays pretty well. But it soon starts fading if you are in hot humid climate. Also the product transfer’s. This powder form contour and highlight can be used by all skin types. It doesn’t make your skin dry or cakey.

Overall I would recommend to girls who are beginners and would love to experiment with contour and highlighting also for girls who wants a palette which is easy to carry in a handbag. I would also recommend this palette for all the mommies like mine who doesn't like to use lot of makeup but still wants to contour and highlight. :))

HOW TO USE

Apply after foundation or alone. Blend well with brush.

MAYBELLINE DREAM CUSHION FRESH FACE LIQUID FOUNDATION REVIEW

10:07:00

Hello angels,

Have you ever tried Maybelline BB cushion? Last week they have launched something similar to it which is known as DREAM CUSHION FRESH LIQUID FOUNDATION. I am really excited to try this product. Its for first time I have come across this unique technology a cushion with liquid foundation.Now there are 6 shades available in this range and so you can get any shade matching to your skin tone. I got Natural Ivory shade that was the closest match to my skin tone.

The packaging looks quite similar to BB cushion infact its quite confusing it comes in white round shaped chunky compact with double lid. When you open it there is full size mirror on one side and a puff applicator which is use for dabbing the foundation on to face. When you open secondary lid there is sponge soaked in liquid foundation. So all you need to do is dab your applicator on sponge and apply on your face its easy and travel friendly. I use to love using bb cushion formula for everyday and I expect it to be more like it with little more coverage and here it is. The texture is creamier than I expected it to be it blends beautifully without having to use any moisturizer. Its ultra light weight and works well on normal to combination skin. It gives a luminous skin finish. On application it brightens my complexion and looks fresh. The formula provides enough hydration without making it look oily or dull. Oily skin users can dab some loose powder after application while dry skin users can apply a lightweight moisturiser for smooth and even application. The consistency of the formula is thin. It gives medium coverage which helps to blur out pores and covers some of the marks. After few hrs of application I could see some crease lines around my nose where you probably need to touch up with some loose powder. It almost feels like skin even when applied for long hrs. Doesn’t budge or settle into fine lines. It’s a fragrance free product. You need very little quantity for entire face and neck area. So the product will last longer than you expect. You can build the product as you desire for. You cant refill the sponge. Also it contains SPF20 so its ok to not wear extra spf.

Overall recommended. I love using such formulas on my daily basis also it’s a drugstore product which comes at affordable price. Its much reasonably priced when compared to Maybelline BB cushion. There are 6 shades available which makes is suitable for all skin tones. It’s a fresh liquid foundation on the go.

Natural ivory is for fair skin tone having neutral undertones like MAC NC 25.
Have you tried BB CUSHION OR DREAM CUSHION FRESH FACE which one do you think is better?

NEW LOREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH ROSE LUMI LIQUID ILLUMINATOR REVIEW

02:55:00

Hello angels,

These days Glowy skin is very much in trend. As you all know how much I love highlighters whether they are in liquid, powder or cream form. I just love using them over the past years it has become the most essential product for me.

I was awaiting for L’oreal to launch their True match Lumi range in India and finally its here. There are two shades available Rose and Gold. I got the rose Lumi liquid and Powder Illuminator which I will be reviewing today.

First we will talk about LOREAL TRUE MATCH LUMI LIQUID ILLUMINATOR IN N201 ROSE. The packaging reminds me of NYX BORN TO GLOW. The product comes in a rose gold sleek plastic tube with a metallic cap which is very easy to carry.It has a small nozzle from which the product comes out . You have to press the tube slightly for dispensing the product.

The formula is basically to highlight your key features or you can also mix it with the foundation, cream for illuminating complexion. I loved the ROSE GOLD shade as it perfectly enhances cool skin tones as well as yellow peach tones. It’s creamy formula which is super blendable on skin. The consistency is thick which makes it easy to apply. Even when applied with foundation it doesn’t look heavy or greasy the formula is ultra light and so I like to layer it again on my cheekbones. It does contain fine shimmer which makes my face glowy. It can be used on daily basis or occasionally. The shimmer particles doesn’t show up. It keeps my skin glowy for 6-7 hrs with the primer. For dry skin the formula can cling on dry patches so you have to prep it.

Overall I am obsessed with this highlighter it totally illuminates my skin giving a fresh healthy glow. Also I like layering it for getting a Kim Kardashian glow. Also N201 ROSE shade will suit to all neutral skin tones. It doesn’t smudge and stays well for long hrs. Its like a value for money.
