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.!!!

GEL EYELINERS: MAYBELLINE OR L'OREAL

GEL EYELINERS:

MAYBELLINE OR L'OREAL 

Hello everyone ! Welcome back to beautyblogs.com

Today I will share my views or giving a review on the two most competitive Gel eyeliners in Indian markets and they are MAYBELLINE NEWYORK'S EYESTUDIO GEL EYELINER and L'OREAL PARIS GEL EYELINERS 

When I say L'oreal paris gel eyeliners it means they have different ranges in gel eyeliners viz. their 36H Super liner gel intenza , 24H superline gel intenza and many more I would write another blog on only on Loreal paris gel eyeliners range they have come up with but in this article I would share my personal experience with
MAYBELLINE EYESTUDIO GEL EYELINER vs L'OREAL PARIS 36H SUPERLINE GEL INTENZA

 The very first gel eyeliner I had ever used was Maybelline's eyestudio and I was so in love with that eyeliner but soon I realized it is breaking out on my lashes and as I used to wear contact lenses

 it really irritated me in my eyes as some of its particles get into your eyes troubling your lenses.

Then I switch to L'oreal paris 36H superline gel intenza which was launched during CANNES film festival & I was super excited to use it and bam!! It doesn't break out in small ashes which will trouble your lenses one good point..

I would say both have same black intensity but there is a price difference which means a lot. 

Pros and cons of EYESTUDIO:

• It is very black jet black.
• Comes with an applicator brush.
• The cap of the brush is very good and keeps the brush bristles in shape
• Smudge proof and water resistant
• Stays on for 8-10hrs
• Not that expensive like Loreal one
• Bad thing about this one is not suitable for those who wear contact lenses. 

 Pros and cons of

 GEL INTENZA:

• It is also the blackest black I feel both eyestudio and this one has the same intensity
• Also comes with an applicator brush same as that of eyestudio's.
• The cap is worst part of the brush the cap is not an appropriate cap its just a plastic covering opened from the top which makes the product left on the brush dry and making your brush hard for the next use. I hated the cap!!
• Smudge proof and water resistant
• Not 36H but it stays on for 10-12hrs
• It is quite over priced I would say ,
• The formula once applied stay on as it is!! plus point GOOD FOR THOSE WEARING CONTACT LENSES no fallout no breakout once dried. thumbs up!

Mantra for long lasting Gel eyeliners: 

Gel eyeliners usually dry quickly so when ever you apply the liner keep the jar upside down so that it is not in contact with air for a long time and it doesn't dry.. This little jar can run upto 1.5 years even if applied daily.

Price:
Maybelline Newyork Eyestudio : Rs.499/-

L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza 36H : Rs.875/-

But do look for discounts on online websites you can easily get 25% off

Where to buy :

You can buy it at any online website in India preferably AMAZON.IN or NYKAA.COM

Final Verdict :

I would say I did not notice any difference in the appearance i.e they look exactly the same when applied . Its just if you use contact lenses go for L'oreal one else save your money Maybelline offers you the same look at a lower price as quantity wise both are just same 2.8g or 3g.

I hope you find this review helpful!! Do comment and share and stay tuned for new such reviews :)

"REAL TECHNIQUES - EXPERT FACE BRUSH" Review

"REAL TECHNIQUES -

EXPERT 

FACE BRUSH"

Real Techniques is a US makeup tools brand by two sisters Sam & Nic Chapman.

Especially known for their quality synthetic makeup brushes @ really affordable price.. These brushes are neither super cheap nor super expensive too.

Here in this article I would be reviewing the real techniques Expert Face brush...

So how many makeup brushes do we have when it comes to foundation????

We girls in India are grown up by seeing our moms applying foundation direct from their fingers or if I consider my case, my mom  only used tinted moisturizer like Lactocalamine  not even a proper foundation .

But since I had completed my post graduation I started feeling attracted towards makeup and makeup tools may be I was now done with my studies and then I found this Real techniques brush that was way favorite of almost all of the beauty experts..

Expert Face brush❤️ I am in so love with this brush . It blends the BB cream , liquid foundation , cream foundation so so well that no line strokes were there.. 

It is a Real Face Expert girls I even applied my blush with it. It is so perfectly designed it fits properly on the apples of your cheeks and you don't even need a Blush brush. I don't have a powder brush so I applied that too with this one , pretty much everything on face you can do with this.  

Yes I agree that for powder you need a more fluffy brush but on budget this will also do the job I can guarantee that .     

Texture :  It feels very soft very very soft on skin like fur.. The bristles are made of taklon synthetic bristle  which don't  leave any foundation strokes giving you an air brushed finish    

Real Techniques Claims :

It claims that " Our face expert brush is ultra firm and broad for application and blending of cream or liquid foundation :

• Look pixel perfect in even harsh light
• Ultra plush bristles."                                                                        

 Usage :

Very easy to use just take some foundation on it and start pushing it into the skin and then apply in the circular motions and you are done.


PROS n CONS:   

PROS :

• Very sleek easy to hold
• synthetic bristles ,non allergic ,not line strokes
• very very dense picks the right amount of product and don't absorb it
• multiple uses : Foundation(cream or liquid) , contour , blush part etc
• dries very quickly after wash
• doesn't shed

CONS:

• fake brushes also exists in India keep your eyes open while ordering
• MADE IN CHINA for some people its a con , but they have a manufacturing plant in China so they are original. 

Price Range:

INR 500-1200
Look for discounts Rs600 will be the deal for this. 

$9.00 is the US price.
