NEW BASIC MAKEUP ROUTINE OLAY, LAKME CC CREAM & LOREAL

11:07:00

Hello angels,

Hope you all doing well. If you love reading my blogs you can follow me on Instagram and twitter.

Today I am going to do something different usually I review latest makeup or skin care products but now I am going to talk about 3 products which has recently been added to my daily basic makeup routine. This 3 products are new and currently I love using them OLAY Total Effects light weight anti ageing cream, LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE 12 hr foundation and LAKME COLOR CHANGE CC CREAM.

So FIRST product I am going to talk about is Olay total effects 7 light weight anti ageing cream.

Now for all those who don’t know I am a huge fan of Olay. If I wouldn’t be blogger I would never switch to any other products and would just use Olay. OLAY has been with me since years and it has always helped my skin look better. Now as you know Olay anti ageing cram had a thick texture which wasn’t good enough for oily or combination skin. So they have come up with light weight texture which can be used by many skin types lets find out how it works. This cream comes in long cylindrical tube white and black is a standard packaging for most of Olay products. It has a pump which makes it easy to dispense the product. The first thing I noticed was a fragrance which was totally different from previous one also the cream was much thinner in consistency and white in color. I felt it was more like a lotion then cream. I have a combination skin so one pump was enough for my face. Its definitely light in texture and easy to blend. Still its quite moisturizing and after putting on foundation it gives you glowy look. This would work best for normal to combination skin also it would be great for all season. So after application my skin felt hydrated and well nourished it didn't look dull or oily But after few hrs it did made my t zone shiny so I thought of using a matte foundation or some loose powder over it. I wouldn’t suggest this for oily skin because its not a gel based and its like a lotion which can clog pores. if you are prone to acne this wouldn't be the right product for your skin. It does contain spf 15.

PRICE- OLAY TOTAL EFFECTS LIGHT WEIGHT CREAM

Second product is L'OREAL 12hr Mat magique foundation which I have already reviewed the link is here. LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE FOUNDATION It has turned out to be my everyday favorite foundation. I do pair it up with my Olay cream so that I get a natural glowy skin. Rather than semi matte effect.

Another product which I recently bought was LAKME COLOR CHANGE CC CREAM.

This cream comes in white color tube. It contains spf 30 which is really good for everyday use. It comes in two shades beige and bronze. I picked up beige for my skin tone. If you have natural to fair skin you can opt for beige. This cream is white in color but as soon as you blend into skin it just changes its color to beige which looks well blended on skin. After application your skin looks brighter and naturally even toned. It has a very light coverage so if you have great skin you don’t need to layer it with foundation or concelar. I usually apply loose mineral powder over this. Its like a everyday product where you don't need any coverage and still want your skin too look even toned and well moisturized. This product is also good for dull and dry skin. Again for oily skin its quite moisturizing so it may give you dewy finish. After application make sure you mattify your t zone area. The tube is very easy to carry so you can always carry them in your bag and apply it whenever you want. Also you can use this product with concelar for more coverage and better looking skin. It doesn't cover any marks or dark circles. In a way its a very good product for college going girls and also who would love to look natural on daily basis.

NEW LAKME ABSOLUTE ILUMINATING FOUNDATION REVIEW

11:36:00

Hello angels,

I was first confused when I saw Lakme absolute illuminating foundation because previously they had same packaging for white intense foundation and I still remember it was available only in 3 shades. Well here it’s the same story it has only 4 shades and when your fair toned only option for you here is Ivory Glow. Ivory glow is best suited for fair skin tone with cool undertones. But as there are no more option for fair skin this can go on warm tones too.

Now the packaging is very similar to their absolute range it comes in black glossy bottle. It has a pump which is best part. The pump helps to dispense right amount of product without any wastage. I usually need 2 complete pumps for my face & neck.

This foundation has almost similar texture and formula to white intense except I noticed some golden shimmer particles. This particles I believe is to make your skin illuminating and add some glow to face. This shimmer particles are very small and hardly anyone can notice it. Its liquid in consistency but not so watery when blended it almost feels like light weight gel based foundation. It blends effortlessly on skin. Previously white intense was giving a semi matte effect to face. And I had to use a moisturizer as it was bit drying for my skin. When compared to illuminating I like the texture far more than white intense. This foundation is not as drying as white intense but if you have normal to dry skin you still need to use your moisturizer. It gives natural glow to face. Its not a dewy foundation but imparts that glowy effect to skin. It feels ultra light and smooth on skin. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy after few hrs of application. Its comfortable to wear for whole day. For sensitive nose it has a citrus smell in it which can be bothersome. I personally love this citrus smell infact I am obsessed with this fragrance. It has pretty good staying power without having to use primer. It stays in place for 5 hrs. You really don’t need any loose powder to set as it can make it look like matte. This foundation can be used by oily skin too as its not dewy. If you are scare of this shimmer particles don’t worry it s not visible on face even after removing the complete foundation. This foundation is good to use in hot humid climate too. It has medium coverage which can be buildable. It covers pores and acne marks to some extent. It doesn’t contain spf at all so its great for flash photography.

It doesn’t settle into fine lines or crease around nose if you apply primer its going to stay for longer. Overall I liked the look it’s a natural illuminating foundation. My skin looks brighter and flawless after applying this. Only I am worried about is for dry skin it can look patchy or foundation can cling to dry patches.

For me choosing from just 4 shades is very limited I wish Lakme bring up more shades. Price is affordable when compared to L’Oreal Revlon or mac. The formula could be more dewy but for combination skin this goes well for everyday use too.

NEW LAUNCH LAKME ABSOLUTE ILLUMINATE AND SHINE RANGE LIP SHIMMER REVIEW

03:52:00

LAKME ABSOUTE ILLUMINATING EYESHADOW PALETTE, LIP SHIMMER LIPSTICKS, PRECISION EYE ARTIST LINER BURNISHED BROWN

Hello angels,

I was absolutely waiting for something really new and exciting to be launched in makeup and yea it seems like Lakme has done it all. They have launched their Illuminate and shine range during lakme fashion week. I was super happy to get this limited edition lakme products. Now this entire range has 2 eyeshadow palettes, 3 precision eye artist liner, and 12 beautiful lip shimmer lipsticks also perfect radiance lightening day/night cream.

BACKSTAGE EXPERTS AT LAKME FASHION WEEK BRING TO YOU THE LATEST TREND OF ILLUMINATED LOOK. A CREME LIPSTICK THAT DELIVERS RICH COLOR WITH A REFLECTIVE SHIMMER FINISH.

Now I know that the most exciting product to me was lip shimmer lipsticks so today I will be reviewing 3 of them. Well when whole makeup world on is crazily coming up with liquid mattes here lakme comes with something totally different which is a lip shimmer. I would say now this is something you really cant think off. Lets start with its packaging. This come in black cardboard packaging as similar to Lakme absolute sculpt lipsticks. This lipstick has semi opaque black glossy plastic tube. Its a sleek round tube having flat slant tip. I liked the packaging it was simple yet classy. I am the girl who dosen't like shimmer in lipsticks at all it’s a big NO for me. But when I saw the entire range I was keen to try this shades on me. They had really pretty attractive shades. My pick was TROPICAL SHINE, SUN KISSED SALMON & CRIMSON BLINK.

TROPICAL SHIMMER, SUN KISSED SLAMON, CRIMSON BLINK

Every lipstick here has lots of shimmer in it. They are smooth on application and applies evenly on lips while giving complete coverage in just one stroke. Highly pigmented creamy lipsticks. They have sheen finish..but the shimmer is quite visible in lighter shades. The shimmer really reflects the light giving that shiny pout. They don't give a finish like gloss. Isn’t it something really different to try this summer I mean not going for usual bold bright matte colors. But yes gals this lipstick give you that change a break through liquid mattes. The most annoying was the shimmer particles that left behind after removing it with makeup remover. This is what I hate most about any shimmer lipstick in this world. Now also this lipstick has overpowering fragrance which I guess it was in enrich satin lipsticks too. This smell stays on for a while which really annoys me. They do transfer while eating and drinking. You need to exfoliate your lips as you don’t want shimmer to cling on your dry patches. They feel really light on lips. The texture is soft creamy inspite of shimmer there is no gritty texture. Formula is quite moisturizing to lips .. they have non drying formula and doesn't settle into fine lines. They stay on well for 3-4 hrs but usually fades away leaving behind shimmer especially with the light shades. Darker shades look less shimmery than lighter ones. They do smudge but don’t bleed. This shimmer particles reflect light which help you give shiny pouts. Doesn't accentuate fine lines.

TROPICAL SHIMMER

A very light peach shade having lots of gold silver shimmer. They are more visible in daylight. As name says its a prefect for tropical summer season. This shade can go fair to light skin tones. Well medium to dark tones can defintely have a try on it. I personally didn't like this shade as it appeared more like a golden lipstick. I really don't see myself wearing this on except for wedding parties.

SUN KISSED SALMON its a pale pinkish orange shade this is a color for every skin tone. It contains pink shimmer but doesn't add much sheen to lipstick. I think its one of my favourite shade from this range.

CRIMSON BLINK Its a red lipstick which looks warm red when applied on lips. l could see rose gold shimmers in it. Its a glamour shade. Its intense with shimmery finish. A great red lipstick for brides if tossing on for shimmer.

Overall I would recommend this only if you love shiny pouts. This are great for summer parties or for glamour makeup even bridal can opt for this shades. I don’t prefer this lipsticks for everyday purpose. I really hated this smell and the shimmer particles which did not go off completely even with makeup remover. I am not so obsessing with this shades but it was a nice to try. My recommendations Sun Kissed Salmon. I definitely see myself wearing this shade.

NEW Lakme 9 to5 Weightless Mousse Foundation Review

02:36:00

Hello angels,

2016 has already begun with Lakme launching their New foundation. This comes from 9 to 5 range its basically a weightless mousse foundation. I haven’t tried their previous 9 to5 range foundation but I do love lipsticks and nail paints from this range. And I was absolutely crazy for Lakme absolute mousse which was such a hit product by Lakme but because of limited shade range I couldn’t use for myself. I am glad Lakme came up with mousse foundation in 9 to 5 range.

It comes in a peach glossy box. This mousse foundation is packed in a peach color opaque slender tube. I liked tube packaging more than a jar so that its good according to hygiene point of view.

This foundation comes in 4 shades.

Rose Ivory

Rose Honey

Beige Vanilla

Beige Caramel

The lightest shade among it is Rose ivory which almost suits my complexion. Rose ivory is for fair skin tone having warm or cool undertones.

This foundation is absolutely amazing. The texture is almost similar to mousse. This foundation is extremely light almost feels like feather when blending in. It just blends effortlessly and makes your skin look smooth like velvet. It has light to medium coverage but almost helps in covering marks to some extent.

It doesn’t help in concealing any imperfections. It’s a foundation for everyday use where you don’t need much coverage. Its weight less so you don’t feel like you have applied anything on skin. If you have good skin with minor imperfection you can just use this. If your skin has lot of acne or marks try using with concelar because this won’t help your skin look flawless.

I would suggest using moisturiser except for your skin is oily. I felt this foundation just melts into skin. You can add layers of this foundation without feeling oily or cakey.

It’s a matte finish foundation but can be used by every skin type. It works great on combination skin too. This foundation stays for 5-6 hrs I could see it wearing off around my nose after few hrs. My T zone area was bit oily after few hrs of application. You can apply some loose powder if your skin tends to get oily. This is a everyday use foundation giving you a natural look without making you feel you have applied any makeup. Most of the time I feel lazy to apply foundation and for that reason I love such products which are easy to work with.

Overall product stands up to my expectations. I am happy with my rose ivory shade. Many of you may not find a perfect shade which is a bit of turn off for the product. I wish they good get some more shades because the foundation is amazing. I was not expecting full coverage for this foundation so I am pretty satisfied by the way it looked. The tube is slender so easy to carry while travelling. It didn’t cause me any break outs. Does not feel oily. This foundation has a fragrance which could be annoying for sensitive skin. I liked the smell it reminded me much of Lakme absolute mousse. It s a great product for your everyday use at such affordable price.

Product Features:
1. Extremely lightweight formula
2. Blends effortlessly onto skin to conceal imperfections
3. Matte finish that lasts through the day
4. Suitable for all skin types
5. Desired coverage for daily use

Step 1: Apply Lakme 9to5 Weightless Foundation to clean, moisturised skin.
