NEW L’OREAL MAT MAGIQUE 12H BRIGHT MAT FOUNDATION REVIEW

04:38:00

Hello everyone,

It feels like I am currently obsessing over l’oreal products. I always get excited when l'oreal launches some new products and I always end up buying them. Previously I had reviewed some of the latest loreal products I know that its getting crazy with so many new products but I promise that this one is last until L'oreal comes up with more new products.

I have never considered l'oreal as drugstore brand its always been special for me as the first ever foundation I had picked up correctly for my skin was l'oreal true match and I still miss using them as after that I have tried plenty of foundation from l'oreal but none was like true match. Now I don’t know how many of you remember but they had matte magique soufflé foundation which was my so so favorite product but It eventually got discontinued. And when I saw this pretty pink metallic tube which reminded me so of that I couldn’t wait to try them out. I could clearly see it was written 12hr matte foundation. This foundation is pretty affordable and it’s a most natural finish everyday use foundation. I seriously loved the packaging its so metallic glossy girlie pink. This foundation is liquid base and it quickly blends on to skin. If you have dry skin you need to have moisturizer because once its blended it can give little patchy and can cling on dry patches of face. The shade which I picked was N1 NUDE IVORY which was perfect for me. N1 nude ivory shade is a yellow tone foundation suitable for fair skin. Its matte foundation but doesn’t look flat on skin.

This foundation claims to stay for 12 hrs which of course I haven’t tried but it definitely stays for 8 hrs without the primer. As the formula is very light it doesn’t feel oily greasy or cakey even when you are in humid climate. It gives a semi matte finish. The coverage was little more them natural it doesn’t clog pores and after application skin looks fresh and breathable. It gives even complexion but doesn’t completely cover dark spots or acne marks. After few hrs I observed that it didn't fade around my nose which was pretty good. It also has spf 11 pa which is good for your daily use. Contains no fragrance. It has buildable coverage and also covers light dark circles. Once its set it doesn’t transfer much and also doesn’t settle into creases and fine lines.

Overall recommended its available at very affordable price. I think after the matte magique soufflé this is going to be my day to day foundation. I am already loving how air light the formula is and makes me feel natural and fresh. Also I don’t need to apply any loose powder to set it. If you have normal to oily skin this won't give you shiny complexion also it has good shade range to choose from. I wish it had more spf but still you can always wear your sunscreens separately. It definitely gave me a flawless smooth looking skin.

NEW L’OREAL EXTRA ORDINARY BOOSTNG OIL REVIEW

06:39:00

Hey angels,

Nowadays face oils have totally replaced my night moisturisers, serums and all type of night creams. I had started using face oil since few months ago and it has helped my skin a lot. In very less amount of time it showed me better results then all other night creams that I had been using for years.

So here we are going to talk about L'Oreal Extra Boosting Oil I know currently I have been using lot of l'oreal makeup but this is something really different and for worth. I only knew 2 face oils One from body shop and other from Clarins I have used this high end oils and they work amazingly. For me to experience a drugstore brand face oils was something really new. All the product details on the box is mentioned in Chinese which I definitely cant understand.. This oil comes in a glass bottle with a dropper. Its very easy to use you just need 5 drops for your complete face. I always use oil by pressing it with my hands on my face so it sinks in well into the skin. This was technique I learned when I had got Clarins lotus herbal oil. Well that oil was thicker in consistency then l'oreal and only 2-3 drops were enough. But here l'oreal boosting oil has a think consistency. For drier skin it will require more then 5 drops while the one having oily will require lesser amount. The texture of this oil is super light and thin. When applied on face it spreads evenly and soon gets absorbed without giving any oily greasy look. It claims to give your skin radiance and plumping effect which could be good for even ageing skin. I have a combination skin so it does helps my skin to hydrate in right amount. Hydration is a key for glowing skin. I am not sure about the plumping effect but when I woke up in morning my skin felt naturally hydrated and glowing. I was so happy to see that radiance effect on my face which lasted for whole day. Also my skin looked brighter. It doesn’t give any permanent or lasting results. The results are only until you are using the product. I use it mostly in nigh time after applying Clinique clarifying lotion. You can use this in day time as well as before putting on some makeup. If you have dry skin and want a dewy finish look try to use this drops before putting on any foundation. This oil has a very pleasant and delicate smell of some citrus fruit oil which really helps to calm your senses. Extra ordinary boosting oil is blend of desert nut oil, geranium essential oil, rosa cannia fruit oil. Apart from glow and hydration it also calms my skin. Also I would like to add this product to my base like bb creams and foundation to get a illuminating glow.

I was completely in love with clarins lotus herbal oil but when I found a affordable option I thought of giving it a try. No doubt clarins lotus herbal oil has been above my expectation but truly l’oreal has also met my expectations.

Currently I am just enjoying using this product for night routine. For now its definitely going to be on my list now.

NEW L’OREAL GLAM BRONZE DUO POWDER IN 102 BRUNETTE HARMONY

01:45:00

Hello angels,

How is your week starting off ? I just need to escape Monday with some coffee and music. So coming to work last week I had post about some New L'Oreal products and coming to Glam bronze duo powder in 102 Brunette Harmony is what we going to talk about today.

This bronzer comes in a square plastic compact case with double level.

First one has a bronzer and highlighter second level has a mirror and brush for application of bronzer.

Firstly before i forget to mention it I loved this product its such a travel friendly compact bronzer cum highlighter. You can just carry them in your bag easily. I am personally fan of big disc shaped bronzers but this one just makes it so more easy. So now you can have a bronzer on the go. This bronzer has two levels as I described. So the first level has two powders one is bronzer and other is highlighter.

The highlighter shade is for highlighting cheekbones while the bronzer is for contouring. You can also combine both the shades and use as shimmery bronzer or blush.

I also liked the texture of powder its not gritty dry or too powdery but it blends well into skin. It doesn't clog my pores or give me any break outs. Doesn't give patchy or cakey look. Stays on well for 6-8 hrs. It doesn’t fade or disappear after few hrs like some of the products do. The shade is perfect for fair to medium skin tones. However medium tones may need to apply more to get a proper bronze effect while fair tones need very little. The bronzer has little sheen to it. NO visible shimmer particles in it. Pigmentation is good enough. The highlighter is lightly pigmented compared to bronzer. You need to apply more to get that glowy effect especially for lighter skin tones. While medium to deeper skin tones can carry it off well.

You can also used this duo powder on eyes for softer crease shadow and highlighting inner corner of eyes.

Overall this product doesn’t serve the purpose of contouring like other matte powders do but it’s a good travel friendly bronzer and highlighter. It looks like natural bronzer for some of the skin tones. The shades are warm and bit of orangey than brown. I would want the highlighter to be more pearly and having more sheen. I always keep it in my bag while travelling also it can transform your work look to party look when you have to carry only 1-2 makeup tools.

RECOMMENDED for girls who just want to start using bronzer or if you want something compact easy to apply easy to carry.

NEW NYX MATTE LIPSTICKS REVIEW SWATCHES

22:55:00

Hello angels,

How are you all doing ? Can't believe we are in month of August. Time is just flying rite now and I am trying to catch up with all new things happening in beauty world. 2 months back I was really happy as NYX cosmetics was being launched in India and it was very exciting but as they haven’t launched their stores yet the products are available online. So as you all know that I am obsessed with all type of matte lipsticks but most of the NYX products were out of stock and only I could find were this matte lipsticks in Shocking pink and Euro trash. Last year on my outdoor trip I had got the MATTE LIPSTICK in shade Natural it was just so amazing that I didn’t got chance ever since to try more shade in this range. But now I finally see this two shades. I have used shocking pink lot of time as I was so attracted to bright vibrant orchid shade of this lipstick. While euro trash is something which I have currently started to get obsessed with it’s a brownish pink nude kinda shade. As this shades are very much in trend I never miss to pick this browny nudes. Euro trash can go on almost every skin tone and can be used for everyday.

This lipsticks comes in round black plastic packaging with transparent space in between to show off the color of lipstick inside. Its written in white bold NYX MATTE. It’s a light weight packaging with a twist open tube.

This lipstick have the most amazing texture and formula. The pigmentation is so good that you definitely going to fall in love with it. Its creamy in texture soft and glides so smoothly and evenly that you can barely make out that you are trying to put lipstick. Very highly pigmented one swipe gives complete coverage and opacity. For Pigmented lips a must have matte lipstick. This lipsticks are non drying and doesn’t get powder matte. But gives a smooth moisturised matte effect to lips. Application of lip balm is not required as it keeps lips moisturised but if you have very dry lips you need to put lip balm. Staying power is amazing 5-6 hrs and they are so intense you barely need touch ups. Color pay off is excellent. This is one of the best best drugstore affordable matte lipsticks which such beautiful shades for every women. This lipsticks don’t bleed or smudge. They feel so comfortable on lips when applied throughout the day. They are not kissproof or transfer proof lipsticks.

Overall I loved this lipstick I am obsessed and I completely recommend to try out this shades. Shocking pink is something for cool tones but it such a vibrant shade which you wont easily find in a drugstore brand. This lipsticks are bang on and a must have for matte lovers.

NEW MAYBELLINE BLUSHED PALETTE REVIEW

13:49:00

Hello everyone,

Recently I have been so irregular in my blogging I am trying to post as much as possible but something or the other comes up and we all know the facts of life its never stable and never the same. So not taking much of your time I am finally happy to get a chance to write about Maybelline’s new Blushed Nude palette.

Like Maybelline's previous Nude palette this comes in plastic packaging where you can see all the 12 shades through it. Its totally inspired by urban decay naked 3 palette. All 12 eyeshadows are in rosegold shades which is pretty exciting.

I don’t know how much of you liked Nude Palette but I still use it sometime as it had some really good shades in it. This palettes always remind me of urban decay naked palette. Well the packaging is in rose gold having 12 rectangular eye shadow pans. It doesn’t have mirror but does contain double sided brush having sponge applicator on one side and flat brush on other. The brush is quite long but I really don’t like using this brushes which come in a kit except for while you traveling. With this kit I like using finger to press the pigment on lid or blending brush. This eyeshdaows can be divided into 3 squad comprising of 2 upper row and 2 lower row eye shades. You can use them in quads or individually.

Now coming on to the texture of this shadows 9 shades out of 12 have shimmer in it and rest of them are matte. So if you love shimmery shades you will like this palette. This palette doesn’t go on every skin tone like the Nudes. If you are of fair skin tone almost every shade will work on you. But if you are of medium to dark tone only few shades work well. The texture is powdery when you try to swatch it glides smooth and the formula is not to dry. I feel you need to use eye primer for this palette. The texture is soft but some of the shades are really dry and comes of in chunks which causes lots of wastage. They have some really amazing pigmented shades and some of them are my favorite. This eye shades blend very well on primer. But some of the shades do feel grainy and chunky but once you take them on brush they blend effortlessly.

Some shades are really pigmented while some are less pigmented but none of them are sheer. Some of the shimmer eyeshadow are frosty and so you can use them as eyebrow highlighter or highlighting inner corners.

This palette is very similar to naked 3 palette from urban decay.

If you are looking for some affordable version of naked 3 this is a perfect choice.

You can increase the intensity of eye shadow by using wet brush.

They eye shadows don’t crease much or there are no fall outs.

Out of 3 one of the shades pink taupe was hard to use on crease it was so less pigmented that I had to layer it off 4-5 times.

If you like softer looks on your eyes this palette has all the shades to give you that kinda look.

Overall I do recommend as there is nothing so affordable then Maybelline. I think most of the gals will like it. And also it will make sweet addition to your makeup collection.
Whats your opinion on this palette?
