INDIAN MAKEUP BRANDS SERIES (IMBS) 1 - Blueheaven Eyeshadows

INDIAN MAKEUP BRANDS SERIES (IMBS) 1 - Blueheaven Eyeshadows

Hello my beautiful readers! I hope all of you are doing well. Guys from this post onwards I am starting a new Series of postS i.e. INDIAN MAKEUP BRANDS SERIES (IMBS) . In this series I would be discussing all the "made in India" Products. Off-course Indian Products should be promoted after all they are made in our own country, but I will not be promoting each and every product. There are some products which are really undervalued and some which are badly overvalued just because of a brand name.
Here , In this series , I would be introducing you guys with the ANGELS and DEMONS among The Indian makeup brands. Again these would be my personal opinions on any of the product I would be reviewing here. Your opinion can be different from mine , personal choices you know. :)

So, lets start this series and I am starting with BLUE HEAVEN EYESHADOWS 

1. SHADES:

Blue heaven has a range of eyeshadows . I have seen there palettes , monoeyeshadows and the quads they are having. I will be talking about the Quads here. They come in a combination of 3, each having 4 different colours of eye shadows to work with. the shades are not different in all the quads , some shades are repetitive. There are 9 shades in total

1. Dusty orange , 2.Dull yellow , 3.Maroon , 4.Aqua Blue , 5.Purple , 6.Green 7.Mauve 8.Royal Blue and 9. Bright Yellow

All the shades look quite promising but here the problem starts...

                                                                      

         2. TEXTURE        

These eyeshadows are damn CHALKY . I mean if you have already used Maybellie or Loreal then these are a big NO!NO! . Not at all good.

3.PIGMENTATION:

Pigmentation is pathetic. As they are chalky they can be removed with a swipe of your fingers that too a very soft swipe will take away your eye shadow completely . They were so pale when swatched on my hand that they were looking like kid's crayons . NOPE thing.!

            

4. PACKAGING 

The packaging is a good thing about them. And I am sure the manufacturer is focusing on that only because the product in it is of no value. Economics Rule "Whats packed good,Should be good". But now the buyers are smart enough to choose the right product. okay so it comes with an applicator as well the traditional sponge one which is beneath the eyeshadow quad , there is a small compartment arranged for the lil baby. Not worthy off course.! 

5. PRICE PART

One quad costs around Rs. 125 and a combo of two which I bought would cost you Rs. 225.

Even though it is cheap but not at all to invest in product. I have seriously wasted my money I could have purchased a BB cream or a Kajal with it .

6. FINAL VERDICT:

Don't even dare to try this product. And I really mean it. I don't want you end up like Gosh! I have wasted my money . :D :D LOLZ but seriously Women out there Indians obviously pls do not invest in this . Rather get yourself some mono eyeshadows from Makeup Revolution London, or if want some local product then ADS has a far better formula for eyeshadows instead of this. 

This is it for today!! This was first thing I have reviewed so negatively but this hell eyeshadow deserves this.. I hated it seriously.

Thank you for reading 

GOODNIGHT GUYS..

TKCR STAY BLESSED

Love you all!! :)

"DUPE ALERT" Miss Claire Soft MATTE Lip Cream - Review

"DUPE ALERT" - Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream

 Hello Beauties !!! I am finally back after a long break.Yes, I know each one of you ,who read my blog,  must be thinking Where has she gone?? or Has she stopped writing blogs? But no! Sorry I wasn't getting time last month and was not able to update my blog. Actually I was busy in my exams and in shopping for my Mumbai trip as well :P . The city is awesome guys, I loved being there and most important thing I bought something from Mumbai which eventually becomes the topic of today's Blog :)

Yes! I am talking about a BRAND called "MISS CLAIRE" . They have a wide range of liquid lipsticks and it turns matte after applying . The shades are fantastic. So what are we waiting for let's jump on to the main point  "THE REVIEW"

1. Shades

Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams comes in 20 to 25 shades. All the shades in this range are really hard to find. The shades don't have a name instead they have a number written at the bottom of the lipstick . I really can't tell you the exact number of shades , but will update the post once I get to know.

2. Texture

As the name says it itself "Lip Cream" , it is actually  creamy soft and  velvety in texture. It doesn't dry out your lips , as most of the matte lipsticks do. It sets matte but still you won't even feel you are wearing a matte lipstick. Its is too light to wear.

3.Pigmentation and Wearing Time

Almost every shade is very much pigmented as I swatched them while purchasing mine. Very opaque just one swipe will cover up the lip. You can wear this lipstick the entire day!! Yes you read right "The Entire Day".Even if you are eating or drinking this won't come out or break like other matte liquid lipsticks do. It could fade a little but you can reapply it without wiping out the whole lipstick. Major Plus point..yeeeaaah!!!!!

4. Packaging

Packaging is very simple and cute. It comes in a cylindrical kind of jar which is half black (the wand) half colored (actual product). The wand is usual which has an applicator at the tip. The applicator is very soft and spongy and it spreads the lip cream very evenly on the lips. Actually the packaging is exactly the same as NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAMS <3 DUPE! DUPE! DUPE!

5. How does it smell?

Awww!! ummm!! Yes! It smells soooo sooo good. Its like chocolate toffee or bubble gum or something like that. I mean you won't have to make "faces" it actually smells good. It does not have a strong smell or some medicine kind of smell in it.

6. Availability , Price and Shelf life

I got mine from Mumbai, India . There is a store called First Beauty in Ghatkopar , Mumbai. I bought it from there It is quite rare in availability both online and offline . In Delhi I wasn't able to find it but in South Delhi it could be available. ( Do comment down below if you find in Delhi). As far as Online is concerned I saw it available on Snapdeal.com It has to be recently added there, as previously it wasn't available online. A big issue with availability !!

I got mine for Rs.160/- from first beauty . ONLINE Snapdeal is selling it for Rs.195/- not that bad for the quality you are getting .

Shelf life is 3yrs from the DOM.

  7. Pros and Cons:

• The biggest pro about these are " THEY ARE DUPES FOR NYX" . Same Packaging , Same Smell, Same Texture , Same Shades.  Yes! they are exactly the same. Nyx lip cream will cost you around Rs.600 or Rs.650 and MissClaire are just in between Rs.160-200
• They are crease-less , creamy , very light to wear
• Smells good
• Do not dry out lips
• Cost effective
• Cons are with its Availability only

8. Final Verdict

Yes ! Recommended.. In the range of liquid lipsticks you have to have these in your vanity. Its not glossy not too dry , It is just perfect lip cream needed whatever the season is. 

This is all for today. I hope you guys  enjoy reading this Article cum Review.

Do comment down below when you use or have already used these lip creams and share what you think about them. And you guys can definitely correct me if I have wrote anything wrong according to you about them... I just wrote my personal experience with these lip creams and yours can be a little difference , but you will not be disappointed after trying these .

Take care all..

See you in the next post..

Good night .!!

Are you really bored wearing those same T-shirts ?? Want to try something different?? Want to get rid off those boring usual Tops you wear all the time? The answer is a BIG YES , I know.. And trust me I can understand the same. Every women is always short off clothes no matter how much her wardrobe is packed :D  

When it comes to summers you can really experiment with the looks and you need not to save yourself from those cold winds as in winters. I have 5 Must have Tops for you which you should and you have to give a place in your wardrobe.

1. OFF SHOULDER TOPS

  

   Seriously girls , You have to have this. You have no idea what you are missing if you still not have your hands on this. These kind of  off shoulder top are comfortable to carry and they add a style to your look. You will definitely stand out in the crowd wearing this.   

                                                                   

     

   2. COLD SHOULDER TOPS  :

Cold shoulder tops are very much similar to that of OFF SHOULDER ones but they have straps on the shoulder. They too look so much pretty. If you have doubts whether you would be able to carry the off shoulder top or not then go for this style.                                                                

3. ONE OFF SHOULDER TOPS:

These are also back in trend. Carry them on any occasion be it your friend's party or even casually in colleges. You will shine like a diva the moment you will wear this.

Crop Tops are in trend from quite a long time now. It makes you look slimmer and taller. Pair them high waist jeans or Skirts and you are ready to go.

5. FRONT SLIT MAXI TOPS:

These kind of tops brings out the femininity in you!!! I just love Front slit Maxi tops. They are in abundance in the market out there but ! Look for nice and elegant designs!! Maxi tops can make or break your look if not chosen correctly. Go for simple monocolor top if you are short ,it will add illusion to your height or go for small floral prints which will make you look slimmer.

So Ladies, These were my Top 5 picks which you must have in your wardrobe to flaunt that Sexy , Hot , Elegant and Cute looks. 

Its just the matter of right choice of patterns and color combinations which enhance your looks. So whenever you shop just don't blindly follow the trend. Wear what suits you the most and try to select the right colors and patterns for you.

The Difference - RealTech Expert Face Brush Vs Buffing Brush

The Difference - RealTech Expert Face Brush Vs Buffing Brush

Hello my beautiful readers!! What's going on?
I hope all of you doing good..
Guys Today I would directly jump on to the topic that is " EXPERT FACE BRUSH vs BUFFING BRUSH"...

It's not a kind of competition that which brush is gonna win , as both the brushes are extremely good but there is a difference that's why they are given different names. So , today I would be going to list down the differences and its upon you which brush to choose according to your foundation routine.

So lets get into the differences.. :)

1. SHAPE:

The very first thing which is noticeable is the shape of the two brushes. expert brush has a curved handle and a large base, while the buffing brush is a cylindrical shaped brush with round bottom. Expert brush is rectangular sort of brush while buffing is a fluffy round one.

2. Bristles :

They both have synthetic bristles. Bristles of expert face brush are very dense when compared to the buffing brush. Which means , expert brush gives you more coverage and is good for liquid and full coverage foundations. while buffing brush can be used with liquid foundations but it gives medium coverage and I would recommend it for powder foundations.

3. Task performed :

Expert face brush does all the task needed on your face..You can blend your foundation,concealer , contour , blush and even highlight. You cannot apply powder with it as it will not give that finish required.

With the Buffing brush you can blend in your foundation, can apply blush and even set with powder. You cannot contour with this one because of its fluffy shape.

                                                                                        

 These were the three differences you need to know about deciding for which brush to go.

Where to buy:

You can buy them online Amazon.in or NYKAA.COM or Flipkart.com easily available online. But buy from a good rated seller.

Price part:

Expert face brush comes in an individual pack and it cost about INR 500-700

Buffing brush comes in the core collection set or in the Sam's pick

core collection set - INR800-1000

Sam's Picks- INR 1100-1400

Final Verdict:

Both the brushes are extremely useful. I would say buy both of them if you are a makeup freak and want to collect as with buffing you will get 3 more brushes that are in the core collection set. But if you just want one brush and don't really want to have so many different brushes for each purpose then Expert face brush is waiting for you.. In my opinion I love both of them I use buffing brush for BB creams and Expert face brush for foundation.

Well, That's it for today . I hope I have answered all the questions popping in your mind about the two and if there is something more about  these brushes  you want to know pls comment down below I would love to answer that.

Cyaaa... Have a good day to all!!!

MAYBELLINE NEWYORK COLORSHOW CREAMY MATTE LIPSTICKS - REVIEW

 Maybelline Newyork colorshow creamy matte lipsticks- Review Swatches

Hello Beauties!!! I hope all of you are living your life at the fullest and if not then start doing it girls be selfish and be beautiful....

As all know summers are on..In summers we need to take care of our skin as this is very dry weather..but your lips are also equally important... Many women prefer glossy lips to hydrate and maintain its moisture , but trust me too much gloss all the time can make you look like a JELLY QUEEN :-P ... 

Here I have come today to tell you that matte lipsticks are no more matte and you can wear them in this drying weather also without loosing the moisture of your lips....

Flaunt that Pouty Lips with the MAYBELLINE NEWYORK COLORSHOW CREAMY MATTE LIPSTICKS ...

When I came across these the name itself is quite attentive.. its a matte lipstick n in creamy texture..

SHADES:

It comes in 12shades.. From Neutrals to Pinks to Reds

1. Power of pink
2. Pop of pink
3. Rock the coral
4. Flaming fuchsia
5. Bold crimson
6. Firecracker red
7. Hot chili
8. Red carpet
9. Peach personality
10. Mysterious mocha
11. Lively violet
12. Madly magenta

Texture:

Texture wise they are very creamy and soft. they just glide on very smoothly. They are soo sooo soooo smooth , I just love the texture of these lipsticks , they set very quickly as they are not liquid .

Wearing Time:

It can be on your lips the entire day...6-7hours more specifically. It doesn't come off entirely , It slowly turns into that stained look after some time.. Of course the intensity of the shade will fade when you eat or drink something after 2-3hours , but it doesn't look bad that way too. You can touch it up or you can just enjoy that stained look which I also like..

Swatches:

Here are the swatches attached for you guys...

Packaging :

It comes in a Matte Black colored plastic bullet. In the middle some transparent glass sort of strips are there which helps in identifying the domain shade of the lipsticks... whether  it is a PINK SHADE or RED SHADE or a NEUTRAL SHADE.. Lipstick is sealed with a transparent plastic film and colorshow is printed on that. Overall the packaging is good.. a basic one.

Price part:

It retails for Rs. 325.00 in India. I always prefer and advice to buy them online from NYKAA.COM or Amazon.in as you can easily get 10-25% off on maybelline products.

Pros n Cons:

• They are Matte still the texture is creamy,
• Affordable
• dark shades are just super super great
• very pigmented
• doesn't came off entirely
• Cons what I feel is Light shades like peach personality is a bit patchy on my lips you need to really exfoliate your lips for such a shade.. just this one con from my side!!! 

Final Verdict:

I would love to recommend these lipsticks ,but but but...my advice avoid peach personality in this range although the shade is soo tempting but it doesn't come on the lips the same way.. The best shades according to me would be ROCK THE CORAL ,FLAMING FUCHSIA, RED CARPET and FIRECRACKER RED  which will look so smooth and will look beautiful on every skin tone..

So ya...This my my Review on this range by Maybelline ... I know I do write a lot for Maybeliine products but I love them I don't know why just love them...If you guys find  this review helpful then do comment and share with your friends.....

C ya..tkcr..byye for now!!!! 

MAYBELLINE NEWYORK - THE NUDES PALETTE REVIEW

MAYBELLINE NEWYORK - THE NUDES PALETTE

Hellos Beauties!! Summers are on and you would definitely want to go natural without any heavy eye makeup on. A treat to every girl is Maybelline Newyork's THE NUDES eye palette...,which offers you very pretty combination of natural glittery and matte shades. One more thing the shades are very much similar to NAKED2 palette.


Let's come straight to the point now and talk about the palette....

SHADES:

It comes in a variety of neutral shades like light browns , grey, gold copper,chocolate brown etc and black also. 12 shades in the palette.

SWATCHES:

The swatches are linked here very beautiful and creamy . The shade in the end of the first row can be used to fill your eyebrows for darker brows.

TEXTURE:

Texture wise they are soft creamy. No shade is powdery and there is no fallout the best thing although its PIGMENTATION is a bit problematic!!

Not much pigmented specially for Indian Olive or dark skin tone. Most of the shades are actually not visible on the eyelid even when applied 2 or times as because area of eyelid is itself a bit darker than the face..so yup its an issue.

PACKAGING:

When it comes to packaging it comes in a classy plastic frame. Lid of the palette is transparent and all the shades are visible form outside. But it lacks a mirror in it which normally most of the Palettes have. Also it comes with a sponge kind applicator brush thicker at on side thinner at the other.

PROS n CONS:

• Very light weight eye shadows.
• CREAMY Texture.
• No fall outs
• You can Use one or two shades are highlighters 
• You can use 2 shades as eyebrow fillers
• It offers you 13looks in one palette described at the back of the palette
• SIMILAR TO NAKED2 PALETTE
• Sponge applicator can be used for smudging.
• MADE IN U.S.A. Printed 
• CONS are....."PIGMENTATION"  Pigmentation is the biggest problem with it some shades are super pigmented like GOLD,COPPER,CHOCOLATE BROWNIE SHADE , GREY SHADE but the rest are very less pigmented.
• It lacks a mirror. just these two cons nothing else.

PRICE PART:

It retails INR 899.00 . But as I always say do look for coupons and discounts yo can get it in the price range INR 600-850 very easily! 


WHERE TO BUY:

Maybelline Outlets or online from AMAZON.IN OR NYKAA.COM (my preferred online shopping sites.) 


FINAL VERDICT:

Yes I love this palette! Pigmentation issues with some shades but you can deal with it. It is a budget palette and offers you good quality.. I recommend it to all.

REAL TECHNIQUES STARTER SET

REAL TECHNIQUES STARTER SET

Hello Beauties! Welcome back to my blog. So ,How are you all doing today? Getting bored on Sunday or having some fun with family or friends?? These summers in Delhi I tell you damn hot now-a-days.. So even if you are at home I would say God bless you coz its damn hot out there!!!

 So girls ..Tell me how many of you really use a brush for applying eye-shadow?? I am not talking about that lil tiny sponge applicator that usually  come with eye-shadow kits, I am talking about some serious brushes. Yes , the correct and right type of Brushes is the key to obtain that Diva look what every girl ever wanted to achieve when they are doing their eye makeup!! So that's why,

 Today I am here to share my views on Real Techniques Starter set. Its a miracle set for every beginner with makeup. This set has 5 amazing brushes that will do  the job for applying eye-shadows , blending, doing your eyebrows eyeliner and smudging too. 

The starter set from Real Techniques again by Chapman sisters is a divine for every girl. It comes up with 5 brushes and one useful case or bag sort of thing which helps in keeping them safe. The brushes are

"

BASE SHADOW BRUSH

DELUXE CREASE BRUSH

PIXEL POINT EYELINER

ACCENT BRUSH

BROW BRUSH

                                  "

 USES OF THESE BRUSHES:

BASE SHADOW BRUSH:

This brush is used to pack on you base eyeshadow. It is very fluffy and grabs a lot of product makes your life super easy with the base eyeshadow.

DELUXE CREASE BRUSH:

This brush says its a crease brush what believe me it will not fit in your crease! This one is the most dense brush of the set and it is better to use it as a blending brush , highlighter brush or a concealer brush! say no crease with this one specially for the normal sized eye.

ACCENT BRUSH :

This is the tiniest brush of the set used for only highlight inner corners of eyes or smudging lower lash line kajal or liner.

BROW BRUSH :

Most people don't like this brush as it is very thick but I just love this one!! This is perfect for thick and dark eyebrows. I know its very bad for thinner and light eyebrows but the ones with dark n thick trust me you can't get better than this. THUMBS UP!!

    FINE LINER BRUSH :

It says fine liner might be good with gel eyeliner but I personally don't use this as eyeliner and I like my L'oreal or Maybelline gel liner brushes more, so, I use it for lining my lips! Yes I use it as a lip liner brush and for me its perfect for that...

THE CASE:


It comes with a super useful case with cushion back. You can fold it to make it a stand also. And it has two more bands to store more brushes. Real techniques logo is there at the left end bottom.

PROS n CONS:

• Very soft and synthetic bristles 
• Dries quickly after wash
• No shedding at all
• Color specific range i.e Purple for eyes , Pink for cheeks and bronzers and Orange for face.
• Will update the post if ever find any CON.
• one more thing I am again saying THEY ARE MADE IN CHINA doesn't mean they are not genuine. 

CHECK FOR GENUINENESS  :

• They should be soft on skin
• Real technique name as well as Brush name is printed on the brush
• Bottom of the brush is matte back rubber sort of n soft... It is not shiny plastic at all at the bottom.
• The case you get should also have real techniques logo at the left hand bottom.

WHERE TO BUY:

I would suggest only AMAZON.IN because you get 100% genuine product from there. I am not biased Amazon is not paying me anything this is just my personal opinion.
other sites:
NYKKA.COM
FLIPKART
SNAPDEAL
etc.


PRICE PART:

Anywhere between RS.800-2300/-
I would say best price is Rs850 I got mine in 850bucks only.
US price : $18

 FINAL VERDICT:

Check for all the things mentioned here and get them without a second thought. It should be a must have for all the makeup lovers , I am loving using these and I recommend them to all.!!!
