EOTD - Peaches in Spring!

Before you guys start questioning my sanity for quoting spring in this melting heat..... Let me just clarify- its the most suitable name I instantly thought of for this simple look I LOVE ....esp in summers and off course I will do so in spring too :P

Now I am no expert with eye makeup... esp eyeshadows.... but I do like coloured eyeliners.....  a lot!
So when I got this gorgeous borjouis intense extrait eyeshadow no-3..... it was love at first sight....

Now when I combine it with another favourite - a Spring green eyeliner.... and Viola..... bright eyes in no time. Add a coat of mascara and you are set for the day!

My Little Red Riding Hood - Clarins Travel Palette: Swatches!

This time around..I decided to do my long pending posts first...  So here is another one of my cherished possession - more so coz my lovely lil sis gifted it to me. Yeps, the same one who got me hooked to smashbox first through her sojourns abroad!

This was purchased a year back.... I had told her to look around for a travel palette from a good brand ... since I was hunting for one here... but apparently they sell the good ones only at airports... :P beats me why!

Yeah...I am a palette addict... I love the way all beautiful things come together at once in such a small case!

So here is my precious... more so coz my sis is the most generous and sweet soul who reads my mind! :D

My lil sister's great gift!

Looks like a mini suitcase!

Love at first sight!

The Itsy-bitsy Freebie which won me over! Bourjois Mini Eyeliner-06

Bourjois Color Exciting Mini Eyeliner-06


Price- Unknown

Quantity-0.19g

I got this as a freebie with some bourjois purchases a lil while back. Seriously I was smitten by this lil beauty the first time I saw it! I wanted it so much - I would have paid for it - if it was not free! :P

Bourjois apparently had a mini range too elsewhere in the world- I dunno if it still is sold in other places or only given as freebies... this one was in a sealed plastic pack - so its not a tester.

I would totally ike bourjois to launch the Mini range over here as it will allow us makeup junkies to buy & try more variety with burning smaller holes in our pocket!

This colour is shade-06. Its a lovely colour- a mix of olive+brown+gold - Like a lovely brownish Khaki I think.... It is a twist-up pencil - so no sharpening-no wastage!

It really looks good on my brown eyes- kind of accentuates them in a nice understated way- but I think it will look good on all Indian girls- its such a universally flattering colour- especially when you don't wont full-powered black on your eyes!
 
The good news is ,,,,,,as told by the SA- this color exciting eyeliner range is launching soon here. :D

Pics & Swatches: 

The freebie that deserved its own post! shade - 06

I hope You can see all the lovely colours in this (Its a bit more brown- but difficult to capture all its beauty!)

My Experience with Shopatmajorbrands.com + Inglot Haul!

After reading the ever-so-lovely Indian Beauty Central's awe-inspiring and amazing posts on Inglot Cosmetics (also the 30% discount scheme!), I could no longer hold-on to my self-control about no-more lippie buying sprees - and I did what comes naturally to me.... HAULed!

It was a pleasant  and smooth shopping experience shopping with shopatmajorbrands .. the order arrived within 5 days I think.


I chose COD as it was my first time shopping with them. I chose freedom system products - 4 shades of lippies, 2 blushes and 1 eyeshadow(Coz I already have too many that I don't use often!)
Ordering online was tough as many shades are sometimes much different in person!

The total cost prior to discount was Rs.2050/-

Blush- 350/-
AMC Blush- 400/-
eyeshadow - 300/-
Each Lipsticvk - 250/ (X4)

Total cost After 30% discount was Rs.1435/- (yippeeeeeee! Discount of Rs615/-)

I also received a sms when they dispatched the package (although I wish they did so Before office hours begin!)

Outer package- Losse plastic cover

Detailed invoice included inside

Everything packaged compact and strong

Another package inside! - 2 different packages inside for 1)lip and 2)powder products

An Eye for an Eyeliner : Swatches and Review !

Eyeliners have been the favourites with me for instant glam and that hint of colour even on your average-jane-days!

I knew I was an eyeliner person right from the day I started wearing makeup. I started with black.... liquid eyeliner first... then my love for colour eventually showed up! Even then back in the 90's  when makeup brands and choices were very limited in India - I managed to score a silver eyeliner from Elle18 and literally started a new trend in my college at least!


To cut a long story short - You can see how much I love eyeliners from the pics below...

Today i am going to review my growing collection of eyeliners.Most of these are in pencil form as they are the easiest to grab and apply on the go - esp for ms.-always-running-late like moi!

Finally the marathon Review :

1. Maxfactor kohl pencil (Black) Rs.220/-- It gives very dark black line- creamy and non-tugging to apply. stays ok on upper lash line but smudges on lower lash line very soon.
2. Maybelline colossal kajal (Black)Rs. 150/ - BEST value for money. Creamy, smooth, blackest-black, rich pigmentation, non-tugging and Only Rs.150/- and stays put from morning till evening. The inner rims of lower lash line (waterline) fade a little after sometime but magically no panda eyes at all! My current favorite black liner! I have noticed that if you don't remove it properly after wearing it for the day then the gradual build-up of the kajal will make the kajal smudge !!! SO always remove it properly with a makeup remove to keep it smudge-proof!!
3. Maybelline unstoppable (Black)Rs. 220/- - It tugs the eyes when applied.kinda waxy. Multiple swipes give you a black liner but not the darkest-black as i like.If put on the upper eyelids- it stays good but not so much for waterline
4. Bourjois Khol &contour  (02- Gris igenieux :-greyish black) Rs. 220/-approx. got it free with my bourjois shopping.... a dark grey matt colour- creamy to apply but smudges easily esp on waterline.
5. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Grey) Rs.190-220/- All of them are creamy and easy to apply... I dont usethem inside my waterline ...as i only like shades of black/brown there... but on upper lash line - they work pretty good... They have medium to good pigmentation... my first forays into coloured liners after oriflame. Many colours to choose from.All are shimmery kinds. Last long on upper eyelids.
6. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Pink) - On its own, makes my eyes look a little like i have the pink-eye. best used with black liner below. pearly-mauve-pink in colour.
7. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Green) - fav of them... great everyday shade - but have to swipe at least 4-5 times to get the colour i want - henna green.
8. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Gold)- soft golden colour. best used on eyed with some mascara... gives your eyelids a lift.
9. Lakme glide on eye colour (Turquoise Blue) Rs.250/- - Soft, creamy and  mainly awesome colour. avg colour pay-off. 2-3 swipes give me the desired turquoise blue colour. lasts long on upper eyelids.
10. Bourjois (36.Lagon ensoleille - Turq. Blue) - another Freebie - Love it a lot!. a lovely turquoise blue with silver glitter. good pigmentation.
11. Clinique cream shaper for eyes (06- Starry plum) - Surprisingly not very pigmented- 2-3 swipes required to get true plum colour. Its a dark purple kind of colour i got in a set from clinique -dunno the exact cost of this. Long-lasting and creamy enough to not tug eyelids.But i wish the colour was a bit more bright. Subtle shimmer only makes the colour less opaque for me.
12. Oriflame hypnotic shimmer eye pencil (Silver Frost) - L.E. Dont remember the original price but i got them for Rs.120/-or something. Soft and creamy to apply. good pigmentation.nice metallic silver colour.
13. Oriflame hypnotic shimmer eye pencil (Emarald Ice)- L.E. - very pretty colour. true to name - stays long on upper eyelids. wish it was a permanent liner in oriflame.soft like a dream.
