Makeup My Passion

Hope you liked the swatches and EOTD, and watch out this space for more, as i will soon post swatches of the Coastal Scents hot pots i got previously. 

Godbless !

Actually a few days back Rekha, asked me casually, which were the best palettes according to me, i gave her my opinion regarding sleek palettes, without knowing that she was actually thinking to gift me sleek !! 

I will soon post swatches of the eyeshadows, and most probably a look too  and i can't tell how happy i am  thank you so much Rekha for taking this initiative 

Godbless !!

Price :- £19.99, $20.00 (i'm not sure, but the website states that)

Over all a decent, but not my favorite eyeshadow ! i will use it sparingly cause its
quite difficult to deal with the shimmer that gets displaced after you place the eyeshadow
on your lid. Even tapping off the excess amount, and the packing technique doesn't works !

I will do a look using this sometime soon  and sorry for being MIA, will try to be
regular *pinky promise* 

Which is your favorite Purple Eyeshadow ?
Godbless !!

Lipstick With Clarified Butter (Cow's ghee) A lipstick that takes care of your lips. Made using patented technology, these lipsticks contain the goodness of clarified butter, kokum butter (garcinia indica), honey and beeswax. This creamy formulation locks in the moisture of your lips instantly and keeps them soft and supple throughout the day. All our lipsticks made with natural mineral colours and glide smoothly onto your lips caring and beautifying them.

Well the lipstick comes in a tiny cardboard casing, and the packaging of the lipstick is sturdy, the cap being not too flimsy. But the packaging is plain glossy black, with a silver sort of ring on the waist. The bottom of the lipstick has the shade no.and name, although you will find the details only on the cardboard casing that it comes with.

The shade rose damask is a pretty peachy pink shade, and turns out as a subtle coral-pink shade with very slight brown undertones on fair lips. It qualifies as a MLBB shade, and is very much similar to Faces Go chic Lipstick hazelnut, the former being corally-pink and the later being beige influenced.

The finish of the lipstick is semi-matte and it glides on superbly on lips. The pigmentation of lipstick scores 10/10 as it looks same be it 1 swipe or even 3 swipes, and covers up pigmented lips properly + they have 24 internationally preferred shades, and many of them to suit Indian skin tones. I was worrying, considering the fact that the lipstick has ghee (clarified cow butter) in it, so it might melt or bleed on lips, but surprisingly the lipstick is still intact in its form (i don't keep my lipsticks in fridge) whereas a few lipsticks that i have from reputed brand, have melted or deformed, so again a 10/10 for that too

The lipstick covers up pigmented lips very well, and stays on for 3+ hrs, with meals it stays around 2-3hrs, and it leaves a nice tint upon fading. It doesn't flakes much with time, and doesn't settles into fine lines.While using this lipstick, i didn't felt need of a lip balm, since it is quite hydrating, and provides enough moisturization, and it sticks to their claim " A Lipstick that takes care of your lips". Its somewhere close to Colorbar Velvet matte Lipstick in shade Peach Crush (i'm not sure though as i don't own it)

Swatch :-

Overall, i'm happy with this lipstick, and surprisingly for the fact that its moisturizing, and semi-matte which leaves happy lips with a nice tint which stays on like the rest of the day. Some can find the price too much for 4.25gms of lipstick, but i think we need to promote our Indian brands too who have the potential to be the best among others. Its one of the best lipsticks that i've used so far, and i'm eyeing a few other shades such as Flame, Sunset, and pink fever etc, and these lipsticks can be purchased from Goodlife.com.

Hope you like my review  Godbless !!

I have combination skin, which turned out to be stubbornly dry in the past few weeks before i started using this cleanser. My skin became so sensitive and was almost peeling, that i was so apprehensive and confused what to use or what not to use. So, in that scenario, using himalaya's neem face wash would have turned out too bad for the skin, and also Lush Aqua Marina Cleanser would have dried out my skin furthermore. So fortunately i tried this, and it worked awesomely !! 

Claims :-

Every day’s a spa day with this refreshing, skin de-stressing cleansing foam. Gentle Tamarind Fruit Acids free pores of trapped make-up, excess oil, pollutants and dull-making dead cells for a refined, matte complexion. Silky lather rinses easily with cool water. Protects skin from the drying effects of hard water.Purifies Pores

Texture : Cream

Price : INR 1270/- (Full Size)

Availability : Check out Clarins stores throughout India HERE

Now the texture of the cleanser is very cleanser i.e creamy type, but creamy means it lathers well and the Tamarind pearls it has, gently exfoliate the skin and melt into the skin after some time. The smell is very subtle (i'm bad at fragrance description ), and not too weird for any dislikes. And i'm bowled over the fact, that these cleansers (Read Clarins White Plus Pearl-To-Cream Brightening Cleanser's Review) are so efficient, that one needs to use a small amount Pea-size amount to cover up your entire face and cleanse effectively. They lather very nicely, and gives a squeaky clean skin, oh and one more thing, they claim to protect skin from drying effects of hard water, we get hard water here, so this works well with it without making skin dry or extra dry.

The face remains glowy and clean for about 3hrs, and after that i can see some shine, but if I use Clarins Hydra matte Lotion after using it, then the shine and oil gets controlled for another an hour or so (don't forget the kind of environment one gets exposed to). Oh and i totally forgot about the dry skin thing i was talking about ? well this cleanser was so gentle, that it didn't burn or tingle my skin (where every single thing that i used, even moisturizers burnt my skin) I will update what else i used to repair my skin  However, this cleanser won't help extremely if you want to cure pimples or acne, but for a combination/oily skin this is just the apt cleanser which is gentle enough to take care of your skin 

Hope you liked the review  and don't forget to share what you do in emergency to take care of all of a sudden dryness attack.

Godbless !!
