MY SKIN CARE ROUTINE!!! IS IT A TASK?

01:18:00

Hello angels,

I have been getting lots of request for my skin care routine. Firstly I am blessed with a good but as you know no one has a perfect skin and I often get 1-2 BREAKOUTS. Getting a flawless skin need lots of efforts. Maintaing your skin is biggest task especially when you have lots of treatment and products available. These days beauty markets are flooded with skin care products and we often get confuse or keep on changing our products. I always suggest people to stick to one product whether its from drugstore or high end brand if its suitable to your skin type you can always use them again and again. Its also my advice that you should not look for fairness face wash which makes your skin feel tight and dry rather Try to use a face wash which is mild, gentle to your skin and helps to remove all impurities. As I am a blogger I have to keep on trying new products but today I will be talking about all the things I do to keep my skin good as much as possible. Also there is a misconception where gals think face wash is not needed when you just use a cleanser to remove makeup. Face was is essential even when you have removed makeup completely. The first thing I always do is keep my makeup brushes clean. Its again a task especially when you love doing makeup and have lots of brushes. I get this breakouts when I don’t wash them or keep them clean. So you keep your brushes clean and your makeup products like foundation bottles, compacts as they easily get spoiled when you tend to use your fingers.. FACE WASH, TONER AND MOISTURISER these 3 things are the most essential skin care products. Many of you may think this is so basic and how its going to help me. Just try with this routine for atleast 3 months before coming to a conclusion it’s a small thing which will make a great difference to your skin. Currently I am using CLINIQUE PREP START face wash INNISFREE VOLCANIC TONER and CLINIQUE MOISTURE SURGE for hydration. I usually wash my face 3 times. When I am using a makeup I usually take of with a cleanser or micellar water. And also use a wet wipes to clean it. As I have a combination skin I sometimes love using FOREST ESSENTIAL GULAB UBTAN it gives me complete exfoliation which is necessary for keep my pores clean. Not to forget rose water tonic mist is one of the product I always like to carry to soothe and hydrate my skin. It instantly freshens my skin. I am not a big fan of sunscreens so using them additionally is sometimes pain so I go with the products which already has spf like a day cream or bb cream sometimes even foundation. One of the best toner I have used is from CLINIQUE I always come back to it. It helps my skin to a great extent. Also Olay 7signs of ageing night cream is one of my favorites. Occasionally I like using sheet masks from Innisfree and The face shop they are affordable and give a good hydration to my skin. Also it refreshes and adds glow to my face. I am obsessed with skin care products and I will be talking more about it on my next post. Also you can check all these products review on my blog.
I always crave for good skin care products and these is not enough to maintain your skin. But its a routine which you need to carry it in order to keep your skin healthy, bright and glowing.

LA GIRL PRO COVERAGE HD ILLUMINATING FOUNDATION REVIEW

02:00:00

Hello angels,

Another week has just started off and I was just thinking about getting a good foundation which I haven’t done in long time.

Recently I have reviewed LA PRO HD BB CREAM I am already obsessed with their concealers so I picked up their LA GIRL PRO COVERAGE HD ILLUMINATING FOUNDATION.

This foundation comes in a plastic clear bottle with black cap and pump to dispense the products. The packaging to me looks like a makeup forever hd foundation simple and easy to carry.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PRO.coverage high-definition long wear illuminating liquid foundation is ideal for a flawless looking, full coverage finish. Lightweight formula is comfortable for all day wear. Paraben free formula with added anti-oxidants helps hydrate and improve the skin's appearance. Now available to extend the color range even further, an innovative white foundation mixer to adjust and customize color.

This foundation has a creamy texture which blends easily into skin. Its soft and smooth enough to spread evenly on face and gives almost flawless finish to skin.

They have 15 shades in the collection so you can get one according to your skin color.

I usually take a 1 full pump of foundation on back of my hand and dab it on my face using beauty blended or a flat kabuki brush. Also I need only 1 pump as I don’t have much acne marks or blemishes to cover. If you have more marks you may need more then 1 pump. This foundation is liquidy in consistency so its quite easy to apply on face.

It’s a illuminating foundation so for a combination skin like mine I have to apply loose powder on tzone for setting the foundation. Also you can use a matte primer. This foundation gives a dewy finish which I personally don’t like for my combination skin. But then I like that it gives glow to my cheeks area. If you have dry skin this is going to give you well hydrated flawless skin. Also it’s a medium coverage foundation you cant really build this product as it can look cakey. Try to use a concealer for covering any blemishes.

This foundation doesn’t make me look like greasy or oily but it gives a healthy glowy skin. The staying power is for 7hrs without primer also I noticed the foundation starts melting down after 6-7hrs around the nose area. So I have to set it with a compact or loose powder. My shade is NATURAL it has a warm undertone and gives my skin natural warm look. I personally didn’t wanted to go one more shade lighter as it can look sometimes too white and pale also it doesn’t blend in well. When I don’t find a perfect match for my skin tone I prefer going for warmer natural tones.

It doesn’t contain any SPF and fragrance.

OVERALL RECOMMENDED. This foundation is great for cold weather but I wouldn’t mind using in summers when you need a dewy finish. They have a good shade selection for warm undertones. I am happy to use this foundation it’s a light weight breathable and parabens free. The price is almost similar to L’Oreal foundation or any other drugstore foundation. I am blessed with good skin and coverage is not an issue for me.

Normal to dry skin women will love this foundation also women over 40’s may like it.

If you have any questions feel free to ask in comments below. I will be happy to answer them. Also you can follow me on Instagram, twitter and bloglovin.

BECCA COSMETICS SHIMMERING SKIN PERFECTING LIQUID IN MOONSTONE REVIEW

11:18:00

Hello angels,

How’s your week going on mine is going pretty well. Summer days making me feel so lazy the post was suppose to be up yesterday but its already weekend.. today I am going to talk about how to get soft summer glowy skin. I love using highlighters whether they are liquids cream based or pressed powder form. I simply love the idea of strobing. And for most of the days I may not use contouring powder or blushes but I make sure that I have highlighter on my face.

As summer months are here we often like a natural glowy skin without making it too shiny or oily. Sometimes it happens to be combination to oily skin find difficult in using highlighter when they are liquid based. So Becca cosmetics have shimmering skin perfecting liquid which is basically a sheer creamy liquid having a very fine shimmer used as highlighter or for overall glow.

This can be used as highlighter over the top of foundation or mix it with moisturizer and apply on bare skin its very sheer so you will get soft natural glow.

It comes in a opaque bottle with a pump which dispenses right amount of product. sometimes the product is to much so I end up putting it back in the bottle as I don't want to waste any of this.

The texture is not watery its like a thick liquid which is so easily blendable across the skin. You can mix it with your foundation for getting a soft glowy face. If you want a dewy complexion you can add some more to it. For using as highlighter you can just use a stippling brush or fingertips to blend on your cheekbones, bridge of the nose whichever areas you desire to highlight.

I personally loved the texture its very creamy soft and gives smooth even application. Also the the shimmer particles are not visible or harsh so you wont end up looking like a disco ball. It doesn’t contain any fragrance. The wear hour is for 7-8 hrs. It really doesn’t affect your wear hour of foundation. On my skin it stays well from morning to evening. I also like using it with my day cream just for the luminescent glow. Also you can mix with primer.

They come with many shades and you can choose according to your skin color.

I picked up Moonstone which is described as pale gold.. I felt it was best for my complexion. It’s a warm champagne color which almost gives a white gold reflection.

This shade can be carried well by warm skin undertones.

Overall recommend I really wanted some kind of liquid illuminator and I found the best. I am really happy with the product thought its bit expensive this will last longer than you think. Also it’s a luxurious brand known for the highlighters and long time I was waiting to get it. I am already obsessing over it. HAVE YOU TRIED IT YET?

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Shimmering Skin Perfector® Liquid Highlighter instantly imparts that effortless, dewy natural glow that we all want. Ultrafine, light-reflecting pearls blend seamlessly with the skin to achieve a believable, healthy-looking glow. Inspired by the fresh, dewy glow of flattering light at sunrise, this is the perfect formula to give you that glow.

Just use this unique highlighting formula as the perfect mixer to your favorite primer, foundation, or moisturizer for added luminescence. For an all-over dewy glow, apply it evenly on your face, or wear on the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose.

3INA MAKEUP PRODUCTS HAUL REVIEW

00:21:00

3INA is a Spanish makeup brand which recently opened their first store in India, MUMBAI. 3INA is pronounced as MINA. This brand started its innovative beauty products last year itself. They have been opening stores worldwide. Looking at the store and products it reminds me of 3CE products which was Korean beauty brand. They have huge collection of lipsticks, foundations, eyeliners, color mascaras, cream shadows they have got all.

All products are very reasonably priced and I hope they don’t get pricey in future. So no one recommend this brand neither I have read any reviews this my complete experience with few products which I tried out at the store.

I got a matte lipstick, eye pencil with smudger, a cream eyeshadow pot and highlighter.

So all of the products comes in white cardboard box packaging with the product in black matte packaging

The packaging is decent, sturdy and travel friendly.

Lets start with the highlighter as this was first product I tried. It’s a rose gold kinda shade. There are no shade names for any product so its really confusing the no.is 200 for highlighter that I bought. Its a golden highlighter with pink tones. It comes in black square shape compact with no mirror or brush. It’s a powder based highlighter which is highly pigmented. The shade go well on my skin tone. I felt the texture could be more smooth and softer. Its not gritty doesn’t contain visible shimmer particles. It gives a nice soft glow to face when applied on cheekbones and on bridge of nose.
OVERALL RECOMMENDED its gives soft glow to skin and stays well for 6-7 hrs. also its very affordable so if you are new to the world of beauty this can be great pick for your vanity.
PRICE 850/-INR

Coming to matte lipstick I picked up shade no. 411 it’s a nude warm neutral shade which is suitable for lighter skin tones.

This lipstick looks more like a natural lip color to me. It’s a everyday shade and I love using it for work days. It comes in a black matte square tube. The lipstick doesn’t go completely inside and I am always worried to chip off the tip.

The formula is bit drying and they lack pigments. It gives a complete matte finish. It needs dragging which I didn’t like. The texture could be softer and more creamier. The color is not so intense and requires multiple application. it does give even application but it needs to tug. The formula doesn’t settle into fine lines. I felt like the formula was having more of wax and lack of pigments which I was not happy about. It was a disappointment as I had great expectation also when I swatched they were much smoother. The formula doesn’t bleed or smudge and lasts only for 3 hrs. The formula does transfer and it easily fades away which was again disappointing.

This lipsticks are not for pigmented lips as they don’t give coverage. This lipstick doesn't contain any fragrance. Also for complete opacity you need 3 coats which is not so good.
PRICE 650/-INR Shade no. 411

Next product I am going to talk about is the eye pencil in shade no 206. I picked up a purple shade this pencil has a smudger to create a Smokey eyes.

Its available in many shades like brown, blue, green & black. This pencils are highly pigmented and can be smudged easily with the help of sponge tip applicator on other side of pencil. The texture is soft and creamy gives even application glides effortlessly. The formula is softer and you can waste lot of product while sharpening. It doesn’t contain any shimmer or glitter but has a glossy finish. While creating a smokey eye look it was quite patchy as it didn't blended well which is a downside of the product. Also it doesn’t help in creating intense Smokey eyes. This pencils is great for using on water lines as it doesnt smudge and stays well for 5 hrs.
PRICE -650/-INR

Now the best product I purchased was a cream eyeshaodw in 317. This eye shadows comes in a glass jar with a black lip. The formula is soft creamy and once its blended it sets like a waterproof formula which doesn't crease OR budge at all. It doesn't even flake.

Once they set in they don’t smudge and it only comes off with makeup remover. It contains icy pink glitter. I absolutely love the formula and texture of this shadows. They are highly pigmented. They have many different shades and it looks amazing when applied on eyelid with a flat brush also you can use them to highlight inner corner of eyes. This cream shadows are very easy to use and you can use your finger tips too. I totally recommned this cream eyeshaodws.

PRICE- 700/-INR 3ML

Overall some of the products are really worth trying out while some of them were totally disappointing. In all 3INA is has wide range of products so try them before purchasing. Most of the formula lacks pigments and intensity. I really hope they have shade names as shade no. are really confusing especially for every product. All the products mentioned above are PARABEN FREE. Well I loved cream shadows and highlighter have been using them for a while now.

HAVE YOU 3INA BRAND OF MAKEUP? Are you going to try them?
