My Experience with Stylecraze.com & A Haul

 I  had hauled form stylecraze.com some time back but was unable to post this due to one thing or the other.

My Haul!

Finally.....Maybelline Clearglow B.B. Cream is Here !!!! Review & Swatches

Maybelline Clearglow Bright Benefit Cream - 8 in 1 Skin Transformer - 01 Nude

I had been waiting forever to lay my hands on a BB cream... hearing about all the tall claims... and it being  the secret fo many asian beauties.. and their flawless skin!

B.B. cream is short for Blemish Balm... supposedly invented to heal-up scarring post-surgery. This was eventually lapped up by the beauty-conscious.... almost like a magic-potion for its many powers!
This one cream is supposed to perform themultiple functions of a foundation+concealer+healer+blemish remover+sunscreen+ moisturizer and the whole shebang!
Provided you have the right one!

Finally someone in Maybelline decided that they should launch it in India (That person Deserves a Promotion!). Alas! they stopped at just one product.... why not the BB compact.... or at least a couple of new mascaras if nothing else!!! DUH!! UPDATE- Now I can see the BB compact as well as new dream matte powder and dream matte mousse foundation in store.( already got the compact and foundation!) :P

Now pretty please maybelline...can we have the lash stilletto and falsies too???

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

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!)

An itsy-bitsy-tiny-mini Bourjois Haul !!!

So you guys must wonder where I wander off sometimes.... but what can I say...

Anyways my laptop is currently hogged by my hubby tubby... so me not getting much time for my blog!

So what do I do when I am not writing about makeup.... I think about it... then eventually I end up buying stuff... like these little beauties below...(though I m trying hard to not-buy!)

So on my trip to the mall at Tagore garden.... I angled over to Bourjois (don't you love their counter!)deciding I need to swatch their eyeliners... I was hunting for a nice jewel purple eyeliner..(its another thing that the only thing I did not buy is a purple eyeliner!:P )

So I decided to buy this duochrome green liner - I was having a secret crush on for a loooooong time!
(I had to buy something... I had swatched nearly every eyeliner the SA had!)

Then it happened... my inner lipstick junkie could not resist those bourjois lipies.... and I swatched them...
fell in love with this colour.... I said yes when she said she would give me a freebie too (She was sweet unlike that rude SA in GIP noida) :)

So here's my mini haul...

Got myself another lippie and an eyeliner! (the mini one is the freebie!)
