NYX TOTAL CONTROL DROP FOUNDATION & AWAY WE GLOW LIQUID HIGHLIGHTER REVIEW

02:39:00

Hello gals,

I feel its been long time I have post a review. Well it was a birthday week which kept me a lot busy..It was amazing and tiring something or the other just keeps on coming. Hope you all too had an amazing week. As it was my birthday I really went for makeup shopping to the NYX STORE and picked up some of the new and best selling products. Today I will be reviewing two of the new products that is TOTAL CONTROL DROP FOUNDATION & AWAY WE GLOW LIQUID HIGHLIGHTER in shade LIQUID PRISM.

Total Control Drop Foundation comes in many different shades so whether you are pale, light, medium or dark skin you will find your perfect match. You can also use two or more shades for getting a match for your skin tone. You can also use this drops with other foundations or illuminators.

I purchased light shade it’s for fair skin tone with pink undertones. After applying on my face I did felt lighter than my skin tone so I try using it with other darker shade foundation. It comes in a glass bottle with a dropper you can directly put drops on your face like a serum and blend it with the flat foundation brush. The consistency is very thin so be careful you don’t spill around. It spreads evenly on face giving medium coverage. You can build the product to give a complete high coverage. It blends easily into skin giving a silky touch.

It gives semi matte finish and feels extremely light on skin. I found this foundation is good for normal, oily to combination skin. It doesn’t look cakey and doesn’t settle into fine lines.

It doesn’t contain any fragrance. It doesn’t make my Tzone oily after 4-5 hr of application but it does start wearing off from my nose.

It doesn’t accentuate pores or fine lines. It doesn’t contain any spf. Also I tried using a beauty blender but due to its runny consistency it was soaking up more product.

The bottle is really messy and you can even spoil your clothes specially if you are like me who doesn’t have patience.

Overall it’s a expensive drugstore foundation but also worth trying out. I liked its smooth texture and such a lightweight formula. There are lots of shades available for various undertones like pink, yellow and olive. You can also customize shade by mixing different foundation shades.

Coming to Away We Glow it’s a liquid highlighter which comes in a tube and a soft applicator, there are 5-6 shades available. I got LIQUID PRISM shade which is like a holographic highlighter and it suitable for all skin tones. It makes my skin sparkle.

This liquid highlighter can be used for subtle glow or intense Strobing. You can build the product as needed. The texture is very creamy and easy to blend. I tried to use more but it didn’t look harsh instead it just look perfect like a natural glowy skin. It doesn’t emphasise pores or fine lines. As it has a large applicator it can be used on eyelids too. Once the product sets in its difficult to move. I really loved applicator as its easy to put on cheeks and eyelids. I just try to blend it with finger when I am in a hurry. As it’s a liquid highlighter you can use them beneath your foundation or above the foundation.

OVERALL I am obsessed with both the products I have been using it since I got them ..I find them very easy to use on work days too. I would recommend it to everyone its totally worth the price.

NEW MAYBELLINE MASTER STROBING LIQUID REVIEW

09:59:00

Hello beautiful girls,

Today I have something exciting for you yes it’s a latest launch from Maybelline something which every girl wants it… MASTER STROBING LIQUID You heard it right make your Strobing game strong with drugstore liquid highlighter. I can totally live without bronzers blushers but not without a highlighter.

Long time I haven’t used a liquid highlighter this highlighter comes in a black and silver metallic tube. It has a nozzle to dispense the product.

You need very little quantity and just dab it with your finger on to the cheekbones. This highlighter is available at very affordable price. There are two shades available LIGHT/IRIDESCENT and DEEP GOLD.

I choose light /iridescent which I thought is more suitable for my fair skin tone.

Now this liquid illuminator has lots of glitter particles which almost after application feels like a going to disco or parties. Its stronger than any other highlighter. If you really desire for getting the glow like pro you should try this out.

Its super blendable and lasts for as long as you want. It sets in to give you high sheen. This liquid highlighter can also be use as a base for foundation to get a glowing skin.

Light iridescent is more like a pearl with pinkish silver glitter. This highlighter can be used by all skin types. If you have enlarged pores this illuminator can make it look worse.

If you like to have a dewy skin just mix few drops into moisturizer and apply on to skin. This also can be used as a brightening primer for dry and dull skin.

The highlighter is in liquid form and once it blends it dries in just few sec and once it sets in it doesn’t transfer or smudge.

I liked the formula texture and everything about this Master Strobing Liquid .

I am absolutely in love with this and I would recommend every girl to try this out. Well Medium to darker skin tone can opt for deep gold while lighter skin tones can go for light iridescent shade.
When compared to L'oreal LUMI liquid illuminator I liked Maybelline more because Loreal gives subtle and softer glow then Master strobing liquid.

BENEFIT

Discover the illuminating strobe effect. Now, in a micro-pearl liquid formula for all-over highlighting! Strobe to add glow and to create the look of skin that appears radiant as if lit from within.

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.

12:33:00

Hello girls,

Strobing?? Everyone is wondering what exactly it is and how its different from contouring. Strobing is basically just highlighting your face. Its nothing new to it but we going to try something called as intense highlighting. Strobing is a latest makeup technique and everyone is talking about it that its going to replace contouring. For me actually nothing can really replace contouring but Strobing is something which you can use on daily basis and its also useful when you don’t have time to contour. And that’s quite practical because we really don’t contour our face on everyday basis Rite? So you can start Strobing. I personally have started using this technique recently and some what I am loving it. Lets find out does it give us same results like contouring and if so how should you do it. Hope this steps help you get the look.

-Then I went on with my makeup forever Hd foundation you can even add few drops of your routine skin care serum but if u have combination to oily I don’t recommend doing this. Blend foundation into the skin using kabuki flat brush from sigma.

-Take some concealer I have use La Pro girl Hd conceal under my eyes in triangular shape and around the corners of my lips and nose. You can use beauty blender or fingers to dabb concelar. Set it with some loose powder. I prefer Ben Nye Banana Powder
