TREID &TESTED BENEFIT POREfessional PRIMER

10:55:00

Hello angels,

Today I am going to write about my all time favorite primer which is also the top seller product from benefit cosmetics, its POREfessional primer which belongs to their permanent line. My first experience was long back when actually my mom was using it and I just tried for first time i was pretty impressed. I know many must have gone through its reviews and all but I felt like I need to share a thought about it on my blog. I have already tried the smaller version of benefit POREfessional primer and after using it for so long I ended up getting a larger version of this primer.

Ageing comes to everyone and biggest concerns of ageing is pores. I think we all deal with that enlarged pores and fine lines. My skin is combination and I do have pores which is quite normal. No one is so lucky enough to have a poreless skin. So whatever the cause may be sun damage external factors combination skin the benefit claims to give you hope on having completely poreless skin.

Why we love it!

Quickly minimize the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin! Apply this silky, lightweight balm alone, under or over makeup. Translucent, oil-free formula complements all skintones and helps makeup stay put. Contains a Vitamin E derivative, known to protect skin from free radicals.

How to apply

To use under makeup: Apply to clean, lightly moisturized skin. Pat on problem areas & blend with fingertips.

To use over makeup: Pat on lightly over makeup & blend.

Why I love this primer?

It’s a super light oil free non greasy primer. The texture is more like a balm which just disappears into skin when blended in. This primer comes in blue and white tube with box packaging. There is instruction note given inside on how to use this primer. It appears to be slightly tinted but its completely translucent on application. If you got concerns with pores and oily or combination skin you can opt for this primer. Its silicone based primer just like Smashbox photofinish primer. I love silicone primers they are velvety smooth and just melt into skin when applied. It has floral fragrance I didn’t find that annoying. It helps in minimizing pore and gives flawless application of makeup. It gives a complete matte finish.Yes it does help in covering fine lines too. My mom loves this primer her concerns is ageing fine lines having dry skin she is pretty happy with the primer. My area concerns are around nose and forehead so I tend to apply generally in this particulars areas. It just make you skin smooth and even for better application of foundation and powder. It does control oil and doesn't give any breakouts it does not give white cast on darker skin tones.

Well my makeup stayed on for almost all day but in the end of the day I could see foundation wearing off near my nose and smile lines.

This product does not make your pores disappears but they help in minimizing. There are no moisturizing properties in this primer. It s just softens the overall look. Generally primers are applied beneath the makeup but this one can be applied over makeup too you just need to pat and blend.

Overall recommended. It’s a primer for oily to combination skin and with enlarged pores concern its again a great one to be used in hot humid weathers. My t-zone always gets shiny after few hrs of makeup this helps to reduce the shine.The only drawback I could find that its quite expensive. So that makes me think twice before buying it out. It completely covers my pores. But if you have super enlarged pores it won’t help you much. If you have dry skin better prep skin with moisturiser. I think its worth the money. I am just not using it everyday as i don't wont to end up with empty tube. So i try to use it occasionally.

Mac Twig lipstick review

13:26:00

Hello lovelies,

Today I am going to talk about this beautiful neutral lipstick shade from Mac its known as Twig. Twig is lot more like Mehr a perfect pinky brown shade having more of brown undertones. I think everyone should have this kinda shade which you can easily wear with any outfit and any looks. It can be pulled of by any skin tone.

Now mac has really different ranges of lipsticks where Twig belongs to satin range it gives semi matte finish without making it look dry. This lipstick is all about creamy, pigmented with no smudging.

They are definitely more moisturising than MAC mattes. Texture is very light and feels lot more comfortable then mattes. If your lips are dry chapped you can apply lip balm prior to application or else not needed. Twig can go with smokey eyes as well as neutral eyes and it can be also pared with bold cat liner look.

On application its smooth and creamy. Glides on easily gives even coverage doesn't bleed or flake. Opacity is maximum in just one stroke. Color pay off is excellent. Its super rich pigmented but do try them before buying as color looks different when swatched on hand and lips. The best combination to apply this lipstick is with spice lip liner. It looks amazing giving you kinda Kylie Jenner lip color. You can carry of this color for everyday basis. Its kind of shade which you can have it forever. This shade is quite similar to Mehr. Which I have reviewed previously but Mehr is matte finish having more of pink tones while Twig has brown tones. If you have medium to dark skin tone twig is a better option as it may not give you wash out look. I would say this color can look flattering on almost every single skin tone.

L-TWIG R- MEHR

Twig doesn’t accentuate fine lines. It stays on for 4hrs without having to do any touch ups. Like Mehr its from the permanent line. This color doesn’t stand out much so you can tag this as working women’s must have lipstick. I love this sweet vanilla fragrance from MAC lipsticks. It simply attracts me more.

Overall recommended must have for daily wear. I completely love MAC lipsticks. And this one is most amazing color from MAC collection. Well with the trend of 1980 lip color this is going to be perfect shade when mixed with spice liner. It’s a great color for autumn too. I can say its one of the best lipstick for Indian skin tones. You can always always... repurchase it. Love you MAC lippies.

Which is your favorite all time MAC lipstick? Do let me now in comments below.

TRIED & TESTED L’OREAL PARIS VOLUME MILLION LASHES EXTRA BLACK

10:00:00

Hello gals,

You must be wondering that why I picked up L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes for todays review. This mascara is old one and nothing new about it many of you must have tried I personally had this mascara 2yrs back. As I was watching some YouTube makeup gurus using this mascara recently it catch my eye. And thought of getting it again. Previously I didn’t like this mascaras much but now I am completely liking it. To find out more about it keep reading!!

PRODUCT CLAIMS

Don’t just volumize, millionize your lashes with our New mascara: Volume Million Lashes.
The in-built excess wiper removes excess mascara for no clumps and the millionizer brush separates lashes for a fanned out lash look.
The Millionizer brush has a multitude of bristles to separate lashes for a fanned-out lash effect. The elastomeric applicator is ultra flexible with both long and short bristles to coat each lash evenly from root to tip.
The excess wiper removes excess mascara. It leaves the brush coated with just the right amount of formula to achieve maxed up volume with no overload and no clumps.

Packaging- This mascara comes in glossy gold and black tube with volume million lashes written on it. The tube is quite thick having thicker brush and wand. Packaging is quite sturdy and attractive. I like thicker tubes than the sleek ones.

The brush has lots of tiny plastic bristles but they are not so densely packed. This bristles help in giving volume as well as length to lashes. Now days most of the mascaras either give length or volume to lashes. I am glad this has volume as well as length. To my surprise it has a thick formula and a jet black color. It wipes of all the excess product before coming out of the tube.

The mascara dries of quickly. Its not a waterproof mascara and I really had no problem using it. If you have oily eyelids this could be a problem for you. Otherwise it doesn't run out. This mascara comes of very easily with makeup remover. It costs you only 795/-INR which is quite reasonable compared to other high end mascaras. What I loved about this mascara is that the it doesn’t clump my lashes at all. It gives a very neat curled lashes. It also gives me volume and length and curls my lashes to certain extent. After application my lashes don’t feel hard. This mascara don’t flake out. It definitely separates out every single lash and gives a fanned out look. The applicator is quite flexible and give application from root to tip. The only draw back i could find that its bit difficult for applying at lower lashes as brush is quite thicker than the usual mascara brush.
Overall its good product at decent price. Totally recommended. The only drawback I could find is it cant be applied to lower lashes. Otherwise I loved packaging and formula. What it claims is quite true. I personally liked using such mascara which doesn't clump my lashes and doesn't get excess of product on brush. I would say if you love something basic for your everyday use this mascara will not fail to deliver the volume and length you are looking for.

Have you tried this mascara did you like them? Girls if you are beginner you going to love this mascara. Go get yourself one.
