Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream Review

What it is:

An ultra-pigmented long-lasting waterproof cream. Highly concentrated in mother-of-pearl pigments, it provides an immediate color intensity with a luminous finish. It's long-lasting formula will not crease or smudge under the most extreme conditions.
Available in 22 shades, the multi-purpose Aqua Cream can be applied on your lips, cheeks and eyes.
Shades for lips & cheeks ~ 5,6,7,8,9,10.
Shades for eyes & cheeks ~ 1,2,3,4,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22.
I got this in #9 Coral, which I think is the prettiest coral shade ever! It's meant for lips & cheeks.

LAKME Earth Rose Blush Trio Review, Swatches & LOTD

Here are better pictures of the Lakme Earth Rose Blush Trio. The colors weren't coming out properly with flash the first time. And I promised you a face swatch. It's hard for me to do face swatches on all products, especially with face products, but I'll try to do them every once in a while.

Nyx Rouge Cream Blushes ~ Photos & Swatches

Cream blushes are my favorite kind of blushes these days, 'coz the weather is making my skin quite dry and lacklustre.

Nyx Rouge Cream Blushes are some of my favorite blushes ever. I love them to bits! Pretty shades, pigmented, creamy, and blend easily, not to mention reasonably priced too. Thumbs up on the MAC-like black packaging too.

I just own 3 right now ~ Hot Pink, Golden & Glow. I ♥ 'em all!

Pond's Gold Radiance Precious Youth Serum

CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW

When I first saw this range in Poornima's blog, I was so excited! I just love anti-ageing products. I believe that prevention is better than cure when it comes to lines and age spots. Also, my skin seems to agree with Pond's products- not always, but most of the time. But the main reason I was very interested in this range is because back when I had Melasma (hyperpigmentation) on my face, somebody told me to rub a piece of gold jewelry on the dark patches. Supposedly gold lightens dark spots. I didn't try it, mainly coz I thought it was a moo point =D. Now I think I should have.

Claims: Pond's Gold Radiance Precious Youth Serum is luxuriously infused with flakes of real gold particles, each concentrated drop of this most precious formula melts into your skin to smooth texture & helps boost your skin's youthful radiance. Contains Vitamin B3, proven to reduce age spots.

Non Comedogenic, Dermatologist tested.

Black Rose & Polka Dots

Yellow makes me happy...Polka dots are my favorite prints...and Roses...well, can't help but love 'em!

This is my first time wearing yellow & black polka dotted nails. Always wanted to, but too lazy to do them...until now.

As you can see the polka dots aren't uniform, but mistakes can hardly be fixed when doing nail art, and I'm not one to redo the whole thing.

I used the rounded end of a toothpick to put the dots. Yes, with shaky hands again. I hope it's not a symptom for something! =D

INGLOT Duraline Review & Trial Photos

INGLOT Duraline is like my new favorite toy these days. I've been playing around with it a lot! The only thing I haven't done is mix it with a powder blush to make a cream blush or a lipstick. I should try that and see, no? ;)

LAKME Earth Rose Blush Trio Photos & Swatches

I finally got my hands on the Lakme Earth Rose Blush Trio that was the most interesting product from the Gypsy Collection. It wasn't available everywhere I looked in Delhi and became  kinda obsessed with it. Then I called Kunchal's today and guess what, it had just arrived there today itself :)

Another Nyx Haul!

I needed a black lipstick and a good white eyeliner for some looks I'll be doing, so I decided to get Nyx Milk Jumbo pencil & Penelope lipstick. But of course I didn't stop there...buying just 2 small things online didn't seem right ;0)

• Round Lipsticks ~ Penelope, Doll, Tea Rose
• Jumbo Eye Pencils ~ Dark Brown, Milk, Strawberry Milk
• Rouge Cream Blush ~ Golden (My first choice was Boho Chic but it wasn't in stock) & Hot Pink
• Candy Glitter Liner in Hot Yellow & Nail Polish in Graffiti are FREE! :)

INGLOT Face Blush Review & Swatches

I told you there'll be a lot of INGLOT posts this week :) . This time it's Face Blush or simply Powder Blush. Yeah, why doesn't Inglot just call it powder blush instead of 'Face' Blush? I doubt they're meant for all over the face, like MAC's Beauty Powders.

This is shade #32 (I'd name it Coral Twinkle hehe...nah sounds like a Christmas ornament lol) 

It's a really pretty coral shade with silver shimmer.

First Bad Colorbar Nail Polish!

And then the bubble burst. Yes, I came across a bad Colorbar Nail Lacquer for the first time. The shade is so 'Fall' and it's the perfect plum nail color that went with my plum Indian suit I wore on Diwali, but it fell short quality-wise. I'm talking about Colorbar's Plum Wine #41. The consistency is too runny for a dark shade, which makes it very unpleasant to work with. Patchy, patchy, patchy! You can see for yourself there.

Rs.100 - Not worth it!

Maybe it's just a bad batch, but just giving you girls a heads up.
