Hello Pretty Bees! :)

Well its well known that korean makeup and skincare is supposed to be the best, and knowing that i thought why not try something. So bought the Sivanna products recently and its been a while am using them. Sivanna is an asian brand which replicates many hi-end brands makeup products. And the  things i got from them is the L-Gluta Thine Magic Cream and Long Lasting Waterproof Mascara.

Ladies please take a moment and admire the cutest packaging ever. I mean SOOOPER CUTEEE!!!
Their own product line has the cutest packaging ever which comes in mostly pink packaging,beautiful bows pattern,rose gold packaging ,,,,,agghh CUTESNESSS.

So first lets talk about about me getting over ambitious and trying out the MAGIC cream. Ok so lesson learnt anything related to face or body cream can never suit the complexion of an Indian. The L-Gluta Thine Magic Cream claims to tighten and whiten the skin and says to have SPF 50 PA++.

Experience with L-Gluta Thine Magic Cream:- Its a very thick cream and as mentioned on the cover its not a Lotion . The shade that i got in Pink 01 and its a white looking cream. When applied one skin it castes a white shadow which looks very unreal on Indian skin unless you have white skin tone. Another thing which was a little disturbing is that it has very small silver glitters which sticks on to your skin and makes you feel like a glitter mess. So yes a BIG DISASTER is this cream for me. Definitely not something that a mediun skin tone can use but as i said unless you have very fair skin this one is not for you.
However i felt the formula to be quite good and gives dewy texture minus the glitters. But definitely not using this anymore .

Now comes the Mascara which just wins my heart with its adorable packing. It has a white gem on the top guys!! i mean how cute is that.

Experience with Long Lasting Waterproof Mascara :-   An average mascara which can be used as a daily mascara. But doesnt give any volume as such, but does makes my lashes look long. And that where it ends. Nothing much. But for that price you definitely get a decent product.

So over all a decent product i must say considering the price and the quantity its available in.

The Ques!! Would i buy this again, hmmmm.....May be not. But this brand does have few very promising products too like the Bronzer brick a dupe of Bobby Brown Bronzing brick and the eye shadow palettes.

I will try to post the review on the bronzer and eyeshadow palette soon.

Till then have fun Beautiful People,

L'oreal Shine Caresse Lipstain Gloss

L'oreal Shine Caresse Lipstain Gloss

Hi Beautiful People,

Thank God,,, Finally!!!!!!! I am writing this review.  I was a lazy log this week,  
Any who......  Today it's  about a Lip Product. These are L'oreal's Shine Caresse range Lip stain gloss.

 Price :- INR 550
  quantity :-6ml

 Let me start with the packaging. It comes in this very classy gold tube. The color that show through the tube is the actual color of the product which make it lot easier to pick the color. Very impresive doe foot applicator which make life much more easier.

So these are said to be the dupes of famous YSL stains. And as now Loreal owns YSL i reckon theses are the budget version of the YSL lip stains. Since i dont own any YSL lipies or i may not be able to afford those as they are so stinky priecy , so i cannot do any comparissions.

My Experience:-  Well i am in love with these babies from the moment go. The color pigmentation is very very good and can be buildable. The texture is like a gloss but the application is like a melted lipstick (if that makes sence), its that beautiful.  I bought two shades and there are many beautiful shades to choose from. I have Eve and Maya ,,, Shocked ,,they are the names . The names are also very pretty for example:- Juliet,Faye,Veneus, etc.

On first application these are like any pigmented lip gloss. But since these are YSL dupes, so if you follow their application process you get the "Perfect Finish". As per YSL Stains, there must be three coats to get the perfect finish. After every coat let it dry then apply next coat.Ans the results are amazing. I must highlight one thing here that Eve for me happens to be non transferable .!!Strange!! but true. So this lippie just  transfers the clear gloss not the color wherein Maya's color does gets transffered.

This is how these two look on me.

                    



And as per their claim they do "STAIN" lips, which according to me definately is "YAY".

So the important question, will i buy them again.

Offcource and i am planning to couple more. Amazing stuff.

Hope this review help you guys.

Stay Beautifull

XOXO

Hello Beautiful People!!

How was your weekend? I had great time with my girls. Such a stressed out week it was for me , and thank god i have amazing family and friends who supports me alot. 

So during the girls day out there was a LOOTT of shopping, quite Obvious and i got this The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain. I did read a lot about this product before but always was not convinced with it for some reason. This time i got it, just to see what makes it so hyped product.

First impression:- Liked the Packaging,Sturdy, Travel Friendly, Pretty good applicator.

My Experience:- Well first application i was not that impressed with it. But after few seconds there a very light pink sheen on the skin and on the second application, it gave such a beautiful healthy pink cheeks finish, i cant tell you how pretty it looks. OK so lemme tell you first i have a little tanned skin and sometime blush might make it look look a bit made up. But this baby is so Dammn natural, gives that right supple fresh pink sheen, that i am now in love with it. Color is sure buildable. In the pic below this light sheen is after 2 application. And best part is on my skin it also works as a highlighter.

How to Apply:- On the cheeks put little dots of the product and with very light fingers blend it"Do Not Drag It Onto The Skin". Just pat pat pat. For people who are still struggling to find out right blush shade for themselves and are of my skin color,this can be a "GOOD PICK".

This is gonna be my go to blush now on, but will i purchase it again??

Hmmmm!!!! Maybe, if i don't get anything as good as this one. 

XOXO

Hey everyone!!

#tgif.  So I went to a nearby mall yesterday and got couple of body shop stuff.  One of which I am gonna review and give my views about.  So this one is called Fuji Green Tea  Body Sorbet  which is a new launch. It claims to de-toxify your skin.  The reference given by shop assistant is "after having green tea you feel refreshed similarly this Fuji Green Tea works on your skin". 

☺☺ Body Sorbet is new launch.  And it retails for INR 769 for 200ml. I think it's a tad bit pricey but if you can wait for there discounts you might get it in less price too. 

Packaging :- It comes in a mint green tube pack which reminds me of VS body creams. I just love the color of the pack, it's mint green,, I mean you guys, super cute. Travel friendly, Matt finish pack.

Texture:- Well if I have to describe it's consistency then I will say it has an ointment like texture.  But once you apply it on skin, the skin absorbs it in flash of light. It doesn't feel oily however it's keeps the skin supple n fresh, like you just had your shower.
Note:- So the shop assistance told me a Tip if I keep the Body Sorbet in fridge for 1hour prior to applying, it will give even more refreshed feel. I did that and it works 

Duration :- TBS Body Butter claims to stay on skin for 24hours so does this Body Sorbet.

Fragrance :- The best part is its fragrance. It makes you feel fresh, citrusy, summery, tropical.  It has essential oils along with Fuji Green Tea extract.
Overall super amazed with the product.

Revlon Lip Balm "REVIEW"

Revlon Lip Balm "REVIEW"

Product Review

Hello Ladies!!

Wassup ,How's life? Hope everything awesome at your end.

So i know the Product is out in market for a LOOONG time, and probably my review is late, but i am asked to do a review on these lip balms. So there you have, for those of you who still haven't tried these babies.

First of all  i believe these are must have's in your stash. Ya i know i am declaring the verdict  in the beginning , but i think these babies deserve this. Revlon Lip Balms are **BOMB**

So Revlon introduced it's  Lip stain few years back. Especially in India we got the Lip stain's i.e Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain back in 2013. And then they introduced their Matte and Lacquer Balm's the consecutive year.

I will be reviewing all the 3 variants.

First up is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip stain. This is just like any tinted lip Balm. Color payoff is not that great as these are just like any lip moisturizer or lip balm, the only thing it does is mildly stains the lip . That's it nothing much. Well this was my first ever "Orange" lipstain which i took in 2013. And people who want to experiment with the color orange this can be the safest option.

Note:- All these Lipstain/Balm have a mint flavor/sensation. Which i personally like.
















Now tells talk about the Matte Balm. And Holy Molly these colors are AMAzing :D.

I got 4 shades from this Matte range. So the great thing about the Matte Balms are they are so pigmented and soft on your lips it's almost feel like butter on lips. Staying power is pretty good. It stayed on my lips for good 5 hours and sustained small sips of drinks and nibbles.
Packaging is like the chubby crayon pencil, with twisted bottom. And very user friendly packaging i must say as the outer packaging matches the texture of the lip-color. Matte balms have matte outer cover and Lacquer balm's have shinny outer cover.

(The pictures are taken under sunlight, so the actual color is exactly like the outer cover , ref-Pic 1)


Finally the Lacquer balm's .Again i have 4 shades. It feels like a lip gloss but with a ok-ok color pay off . Again Outer packaging matches the lipcolor to the dot , which according to me is User friendly.
 The only stand out in this range is shade 120 and 140 rest are pretty basic.

So overall its a good buy. I loved the variations Revlon gave with these Lip Stain/balm . Such a travel friendly stuff, easy to carry, looks funky. For me a "YAY" product.
Only Con according to me is its pricey, each piece cost INR 800. But you can get selected few on lesser price on  Flipkart.

So would i buy them again ?

Well i would love to, when i will be over with my current stock :D.


Hope this post will help you . See you next time.

XOXO

Product Review

Sunday Meena Bazar August 02, 2015 2 Comments

Hey Sugar cups!


I am very syked about this post. I am a big ,,no no "HUGE" lipstick addict .

And being that i try different shades and color. There was a particular color i was looking for from a long time which is a "Berry Red" with blue undertone. But me being a budget person i was not getting the color in my budget. And then my prayers were been answerd *** Lets cut my drama***

So here it is the NEW ADDITION to my collection is from my very trusted brand COLORBAR.
Colorbar is an Indian Cosmetics brand which has some amazing product line


Shade :- Wild Mauve 039

Packaging:- It comes in its all steel packing which looks very funky and stylish. Colobar has different style of packaging for their each range, and this range has undoubtedly the best packaging in the lot.

Texture:- Matte Touch Lipstick

My View:- Well color is hand down "GORGEOUS". Love , love , love it :). Well as they say "Nothing is Perfect" , same way only drawback of this gorgeousness is it bleeds . It gets smudged very easily, transfer easily. Color claims to be  "Matte Finish" color but it looks more like cream Finish after application.
But had it been in a pure "Matt Finish" like there other Matte range it could have been a  BOMB!!!

So what i do is make it matt. After applying the lipstisck pat some translucent powder on it. Thats it. But this has to repeated every time you touch up :( . How i wish this was in matte, which a non trasfer formula. Hmmm i hope Colobar re-launches this beautiful shade in a better formulation.




Now, would i buy it Again??

I might purely for the color, but for the formula NO. But for now what ever it is i m in love with this shade :).

Anyways that's it from now , will be back with something interesting.

Lemme know if you want to see review on any other product?

XOXO
