MAYBELLINE HYPER SHARP LINER

 I HAVE BEEN USING MAYBELLINE HYPER SHARP LINER FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I JUST LOVE IT.  I AM A BIG FAN OF WINGED EYES SO FELT TIP PEN LINERS COME QUITE HANDY IN DRAWING THOSE ULTRA FINE THIN LINES. I WAS USING LAKME’S EYE ARTIST PEN  EARLIER AND SADLY LOST IT A WHILE AGO SO WHEN I WENT TO BUY ANOTHER ONE, I SAW MAYBELLINE’S HYPER SHARP LINER ON THE COUNTER AND DECIDED TO GIVE IT TRY INSTEAD. 

JOHNSON'S BODY CREAM

   

WINTER HAS ARRIVED AND MY SKIN HAS ALREADY STARTED FEELING DRY, DULL AND STRETCHY. ARRRRRRGH!, IN THIS WEATHER, A GOOD BODY CREAM IS A MUST HAVE. RECENTLY, MY SISTER IN LAW HAD BEEN TO KATHMANDU, AND BROUGHT THIS JONSON’S BODY CARE, BODY CREAM. I APPLIED IT ONCE AND OOHHHH! I INSTANTLY FELL IN  LOVE WITH IT. I  APPLIED IT TO MY HANDS AND THEY FELT SO SOFT AND SMOOTH AND SUPPLE. INFACT, MY HANDS FELT SO NICE THAT I KEPT ON TOUCHING THEM. 

I HAD TO HAVE IT BUT AGAIN LIKE ALWAYS,I COULD NOT GET IT IN MY HOME TOWN . SO WHEN I WENT TO SILIGURI I HUNTED IT DOWN AND FOUND IT IN A SHOP BUT I AM SURE I GOT A COUNTERFEIT F GOT IT FOR  250/- FOR 200 ML ( THE BOX SAYS MADE IN FRANCE ;) . HOWEVER, I LIKE IT, IT’S LONGEVITY IS NOT AS GREAT AS THE ORIGINAL’S YET OTHER QUALITIES ARE QUITE SIMILAR.

         WELL! THE PRODUCT  STATES “ ENJOY THE SENSATION OF SOFT SKIN ALL DAY LONG WITH JOHNSON’S BODY CARE 24 HOUR MOISTURE  BODY CREAM.ENRICHED WITH SHEA BUTTER AND A NATURAL MOISTURISER, IT IS CLINICALLY PROVEN TO MOISTURISE SKIN FOR 24 HOURS. OUR FAST ABSORBING FORMULA HAS A NON GREASY FINISH AND IS PERFECT FOR DAILY USE ION NORMAL TO DRY SKIN, TO LEAVE YOU FEELING LOVED AND CARED FOR.”

         AND FOR ME MOST OF THIS IS TRUE. IT CONTAINS SHEA BUTTER WHICH LEAVES YOUR SKIN FEELING SOFT AND SUPPLE. AND UNLIKE MOST BODY CREAMS IT IS NON GREASY AND YES THE SKIN ABSORBS IT PRETTY QUICKLY. THE ONLY BELL THAT DOES NOT RING TRUE WHEN TESTED IS THAT IT'S CLAIM OF 24 HOURS MOISTURIZATION . MINE DEFINITELY DOES NOT LASTS THAT LONG BUT THE ORIGINAL  TOO DOESN  NOT LASTS THAT LONG.

       HOWEVER, I AM HAPPY WITH THIS BODY CREAM AND CARRY IT EVERY WHERE I GO. DEFINITELY WORTH A BUY

        HIGHLY RECOMMENDED J 

BY THE WAY I AM A BIG FAN OF JOHNSON’S BRAND I EVEN USE THEIR BABY CREAM AND SOAP, CHILDHOOD FIXATION I GUESS :) 

GO RED

                WINTER HAS ALREADY SET IN, IN THIS LITTLE SCENIC TOWN. MY HANDS ARE FREEZING AS I AM TYPING ON MY KEYBOARD RIGHT NOW. EACH MORNING DEMANDS  A HERCULEAN EFFORT TO GET OUT OF BED AND CHANGING CLOTHES AND GETTING DRESSED UP IS YET ANOTHER BATTLE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AND YET I LOVE THIS SEASON, I LOVE IT WITH AL IT'S FAULTS, I LOVE WHEN THE CHILLY BREEZE HITS ME RIGHT ACROSS MY FACE LEAVING MY CHEEKS NUMB, AND WALKING ALONG THE ROAD IN FOG INFESTED WEATHER. 

               THIS WEATHER DULL, DRY, DEMANDS FOR THINGS  BRIGHT AND THEREFORE THE RED LIPS.  I REALLY WEAR MY RED LIPSTICK ALMOST EVERYDAY IN WINTERS. RED LOVELY LIPS WITH DARK SMOKEY EYES MAKES  A PERFECT BREWING HOT LOOK TO COUNTERBALANCE THE CHILLY DRUDGERY OUTSIDE

                AHH AND SO THOUGHT OF WRITING ABOUT MY FAV RED LIP SHADES.

 HERE ARE THREE RED LIPSTICKS THAT I OWN RIGHT NOW AND THEY ARE:

• SIMPLY PRETTY COLOR BLISS IN CHERRY RED :- 200 PERHAPS NOT SURE
• LAKME NINE TO FIVE COLOR FIX DUO IN AUBURN:- 600
• ELLIE 18 (DON'T KNOW THE PRICE AS IT WAS GIFTED TO MY MOM)

THE ELLIE 18

           THE ELLIE 18 SHADE IS A BRIGHT RED MATTE TEXTURED LIPSTICK WHICH I AM IN LOVE WITH. IT WAS ACTUALLY GIFTED TO MY AMMA  AND LATER I TOOK IT FROM HER. THE SHADE'S NAME IS NO MORE LEGIBLE SO I'LL HAVE A TOUGH TIME LOOKING FOR IT ONCE IT’S OVER . THIS IS A BRIGHT RED SHADE, VERY WELL PIGMENTED AND IF YOU ARE FOND OF BRIGHT, NEONY COLORS LIKE ME , THIS IS THE RED LIPSTICK YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH.

                                                                            ELLIE 18

   GOOD:  LOVELY COLOR LASTS LONG

    BAD: DRIES THE LIPS, LOOKS PATCHY

 SIMPLY PRETTY COLORBLISS

             SIMPLY PRETTY CHERRY RED LIPSTICK IS A LOVELY CHERRY RED SHADE, THE TEXTURE IS SMOOTH AND CREAMY. GLIDES PERFECTLY AND DOES NOT DRY THE LIPS.

     GOOD: IT’S SHINY CREAMY TEXTURE, THE PRICE TAG

     BAD:  DOES NOT STAY FOR TOO LONG

LAKME NINE TO FIVE LIP DUO

           LAKME NINE TO FIVE AUBURN IS A NICE DARK REDDISH BROWN SHADE, IT HAS A CLEAR GLOSS AT THE TOP TO BE APPLIED ONCE THE LIP COLOR DRIES OFF. THE LIP COLOR IS IN LIQUID FORM SO I DON’T REQUIRE A LIP PENCIL AS I CAN DRAW LINES WITH THE LIP APPLICATOR FROM THE TUBE ITSELF. AND IF YOU WANT THAT SHINY, GLASSY LOOK DAB A LITTLE BIT OF GLOSS FROM THE TUBE AND YOU ARE READY TO GO.

                                                                                                       

                                                                                                             

                                       

                                         WITHOUT THE GLOSS

                                                         

WITH THE GLOSS

ORANGE LIPS

ORANGE LIPS BECAME A RAGE THIS YEAR AND ESPECIALLY, IN MY TOWN, EVERY GIRL OWNS ONE. I TOO CAUGHT THE FEVER AFTER SEEING A SCOOTY  AD. HOWEVER, BACK AT THAT TIME, AT MY HOME TOWN, ORANGE LIPS WERE NOT A KNOWN PHENOMENON, I HAD TO UNDERTAKE A MAMMOTH TASK OF UNEARTHING ONE. I SEARCHED FOR IT EVERYWHERE AND TURNED UP EVERY COSMETIC STORE IN MY TOWN BUT EVERY TIME THEY GAVE ME A BLANK LOOK AND THE SAME REPLY “NO”.

        

     FINALLY, I TURNED TO MY LAST RESORT: ONLINE HUNTING. AND I WAS THRILLED WHEN I SAW THIS SWEET ORANGE LIPSTICK FOR WHICH I HAD TRAVELLED FAR AND WIDE. I ORDERED IT FROM URBAN TOUCH.COM, THIS ONLINE SITE HAS, HOWEVER, CLOSED DOWN. I BOUGHT IT EVEN THOUGH THE BRAND WAS NOT KNOWN TO ME, FLABJOE KONAD. LATER ON I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS SOME KOREAN BRAND i.e. AT LEAST WHAT THE COVER STATES.

      WELL! RIGHT NOW I OWN THREE OF THIS PARTICULAR HAPPY SHADE AND GLAD THAT NOW IF I FINISH USING THEM UP I CAN REBUY THEM EVEN AT MY OWN TOWN. J

·         FLABJOE KONAD:- 600/-      

·         SONATA ORANGE:- 40/- J YES

·         LAKME ABSOLUTE ORANGE TEASE:- 800/-

       WELL I HAVE ALREADY REVIEWED ORANGE TEASE SO I WILL NOT BE WRITING ABOUT IT HERE ;)

     WELL THE KOREAN BRAND IS A LIGHT ORANGE SHADE, CREAMY AND VERY SMOOTH. IT PIGMENTS WELL BUT THE LONGEVITY IS NOT THAT GREAT.

                                                               HERE IS A PIC:-

                             HERE THE COLOR LOOKS A LITTLE FAINT BUT THE COLOR IS MUCH MORE DEEPER

       AND SONATO IS A NEPAL BRAND THE M.R.P IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE PACK AND WHILE MY FRIEND GOT IT FOR 80 BUCKS, I ON THE OTHER HAND GRABBED IT AT 40 J. THE COLOR IS A TRUE ORANGE OF ALL THE THREE AND IS MATTE IN TEXTURE. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED I LIKE MY SONATO BETTER THAN THE OTHERS, HOWEVER, IT FAILS IN GIVING A LONG WEAR.

                                                        WITHOUT FLASH

                                                               WITH  FLASH

THE TWO TONED LIPS

HEY YA ALL.
HOW ARE THINGS GOING. I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED READING BEAUTY BLOGS. HONESTLY, SOME MONTHS AGO I WAS PRETTY OBLIVIOUS ABOUT THEIR EXISTENCE. BUT, LATELY I HAVE TURNED A LEAF AND BECOME AN AVID READER OF BEAUTY BLOGS. AND I TELL YOU THERE IS AN UMPTEEN NUMBER OF SUCH BLOGS. SOME OF WHICH ARE AMATEURISH WHILE OTHERS ARE QUITE GOOD ALMOST PROFESSIONAL (IF THEIR IS ANY THING AS SUCH). AMONGST THE GAMUT OF BEAUTY BLOGS ONE OF MY FAVORITES IS CORALLISTA.COM. I FOLLOW THE BLOG RELIGIOUSLY.
NO, I AM NOT DOING THIS POST JUST TO SING PRAISES OF MY FAVORITE BEAUTY BLOG BUT TO WRITE ABOUT ONE OF THE LOOKS CREATED BY HER WHICH I FELL IN LOVE WITH: THE TWO TONED LIPS.

I WAS REALLY INSPIRED BY THE LOOK CREATED BY HER. THOUGH I REALLY WANTED TO TRY IT LONG TIME BACK WHEN I SAW KAREENA SPORTING TWO DIFFERENT LIP SHADES IN THE LAKME ABSOLUTE POP TINTS AD. I EVEN GAVE IT A TRY BUT I LITERALLY COPIED HER LOOK AND PAINTED MY LIPS IN TWO TONES, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING I USED ORANGE COLOR IN THE UPPER AND PINK IN THE LOWER LIP, WHICH WAS A DISASTER. HOWEVER , WHEN I SAW THE TWO TONED LIPS LOOK DONE PERFECTLY AND MORE LOGICALLY, A LOOK VERY WEARABLE, ON MY FAV BLOG, I DID ONE ECSTATIC HAPPY DANCE.

SO HERE IS HOW I LOOKED:


IN BOTH THE PICS I HAVE USED ORANGE AND PINK LIPSTICK, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE LIES IN THE WAY I HAVE USED THEM. FOR INSTANCE, IN THE FIRST PIC I HAVE USED PINK SHADE IN THE CENTRE OF MY LIPS WHILE THE ORANGE SHADE HAS BEEN USED IN THE OUTER CORNERS OF THE LIPS. THIS IS THE EXACT COPY OF ANKITA'S LOOK :)

IN THIS SECOND PIC, HOWEVER I HAVE JUST REVERSED THE USE OF THE COLORS. JUST MY TWIST :)

I JUST LOVE THIS LOOK AND THE WAY IT LOOKS ON ME. IT IS A LITTLE PLAYFUL WITHOUT BEING TOO LOUD. ME LOVES IT
HOW ABOUT YOU? WOULD YOU LIKE TO  TRY THIS LOOK ?

ATTITUDE EYE PENCIL KAJAL COAL

KAJAL IS EVERY GIRL'S MOST VALUED WEAPON OF CHOICE. ALMOST EVERY GIRL IRRESPECTIVE OF HER EYE:- STRUCTURE, SHAPE AND SIZE CAN NOT DO WITHOUT IT. THEREFORE, EVERY GIRL DESERVES THE BEST KAJAL. I TRY OUT MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS OF KAJAL BUT YES OF COURSE ONLY THOSE THAT ARE AT MY DISPOSAL.
ATTITUDE EYE PENCIL COAL KAJAL IS BY FAR THE BEST OF ALL THE KAJALS THAT I HAVE TRIED SO FAR.

• PRICE:- 349 
• QUANTITY:- 1.2 Gms
• SHADE:- COAL

THE COLOR IS DARK BLACK AND ONE SWIPE IS ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU THAT BLACK, MYSTERIOUS EYES. THE TEXTURE IS VERY SMOOTH AND THEREFORE, EASY TO GLIDE. THERE WILL BE NO WASTAGE WHILE APPLYING THE KAJAL SINCE ONE SWIPE IS ENOUGH TO ACHEIVE THOSE BLACK EYES BUT YES, SINCE THE TEXTURE IS SO SOFT THAT IT TENDS TO BREAK UP BUT ONLY WHILE SHARPENING.

THE PRODUCT DOESN'T SMUDGE, IT DOES NOT RUN OFF WHICH IS BOTH IT'S PRO AND CON BECAUSE IT BECOMES A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO TAKE IT OFF. HOWEVER, A CLEANSER WILL DO  AN IMPECCABLE JOB.
I AM JUST IN LOVE WITH THE KAJAL AND WILL BE LOYALLY USING IT UNTIL I FIND A BETTER KAJAL. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO IT IS THAT YOU WILL NOT FIND IT IN ANY COSMETIC SHOP AND HENCE, YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR AN AMWAY MEMBER TO FOR ORDER IT.
THESE ATTITUDE EYE PENCILS ARE AVAILABLE IN OTHER COLORS AS WELL. I HAVE ONE IN COBALT BLUE AND THE OTHER IN DEEP PURPLE BUT I LIKE COAL THE BEST :)

Chambor Velvette Touch Lip Liner Pencil

THERE ARE SOME BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT MAKE YOU SAVE, SOME MAKE YOU SPEND AND THERE ARE STILL OTHERS WHICH MAKE YOU SPLURGE

 TODAY I AM DOING A REVIEW OF CHAMBOR VELVETTE TOUCH LIP LINER PENCIL.
WELL! AS FOR ME, THIS IS A PRODUCT  WORTH SPENDING ON.

I ACTUALLY SAW  ONE OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS WEARING IT AND I SERIOUSLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE COLOR AND I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THE SHADE WAS LOOKING VERY NICE ON MY FRIEND. AND HENCE, OUT OF LOVE AND TINY WINY BIT OF JEALOUSY, I DECIDED THAT I HAD TO HAVE IT.

BUT AS I AM A SMALL TOWN GIRL AND LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN WORLD, I COULD NOT GET HOLD OF CHAMBOR ANYWHERE IN MY TOWN. 

I ALSO WENT ON LINE BUT COULDN'T FIND THE PARTICULAR SHADE, SO, FINALLY I HAD TO GO TO SILIGURI (WHICH IS A BIGGER TOWN THAN MINE SOME 65 KMS FAR) AND LANDED UP IN SHOPPER'S STOP AND THERE IT WAS STANDING PROUDLY ON THE TOP OF THE COUNTER LOOKING AT ME.

OUR EYES LOCKED AND LOO! IT KNEW IT BELONGED TO ME :)

 PRICE:-  391/-
QUANTITY:- 1.14  Gms
SHADE NO:- PK 11


THE PENCIL LOOKS PRETTY AND ITS JACKET IS SAME AS THE COLOR OF THE PENCIL AND IT HAS LITTLE SCALES ON IT THAT GIVES IT A LUXURIOUS LOOK.

I LOVE THE WAY IT GLIDES SMOOTHLY ON MY LIPS. I REALLY HAVE BAD LIPS. I HAVE A BIG POUTY LOWER LIP, HOWEVER,THE SAD PART IS THAT MY UPPER LIP IS NON EXISTENT. AND THE COMBINATION OF HAVE AND HAVE NOT REALLY LOOKS RIDICULOUS. SO A LIP LINER IS MY SAVIOR. IT IS A LOVELY FUSCHIA COLOR, THE PIGMENTATION IS GREAT AND THE LONGITIVITY IS PRETTY LONG SAY 6 TO 7 HRS WITH TEA AND LIGHT SNACKS

THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS LIP LINER IS THAT YOU CAN USE IT AS A LIPSTICK AS WELL. THAT'S WHAT MY FRIEND DOES, SHE USES IT BOTH AS A LIP LINER AND FILLS IT UP OVER ALL HER LIPS LIKE A LIPSTICK. WELL I DID TRY IT AND THE COLOR LOOKED TOO BRIGHT AND NEONY ON ME.
 SO I HAVE USED IT AS A LIP LINER AND FILLED IT WITH LAKME ABSOLUTE LIP TINTS( PINK SORBET)  AND VIOLA! THEY ARE A PERFECT MATCH :)

+

I LOVED THE LINER. IT DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO WELL. I THINK IT IS A LITTLE PRICEY FOR ME BUT I THINK IT IS COST EFFECTIVE RATHER THAN COSTLY BECAUSE I SOMEHOW FEEL THAT IT WILL LAST ME QUITE LONG AS THE PENCIL IS EASY TO GLIDE AND WITH GOOD PIGMENTATION SO THAT THERE IS NO WASTAGE IN SHARPENING THE PENCIL AGAIN AND AGAIN.
WELL!
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO BUY MORE OF CHAMBOR LINERS IN DIFFERENT SHADES. :)
