~~ The Masquerade Palate By Juvia's~~ | Swatches & First Impressions |

Hello and welcome to my blog!
I'm very Much excited to talk about this new Masquerade palate by Juvia's. Seriously, this palate looks so gorgeous to me. Its like ..love at first site.

Anyways , lets talk about this palate. It was a limited edition ,so not available all time.
I liked the packaging ,its a hot pink/fuchsia colored palate with a egyptian girl on top..lol. well. the shadow pans inside looked a bit bigger then usual pans..sorry dont know  the size of each pan, but its big!

The palate comes in a box (same color) and the ingredients are listed on back side.

INGREDIENTS :

Mica, Talc, Magnesuim strearate, kaolin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, iron oxides, Chromium Hydroxide Green, Magnese violet, ultramarines,FD&C Red 40 Al Lake, FD&C Blue 1 Al lake, FD&C Red 40 Al lake.
May contain : Mica and Titanium Dioxide, Ferric Ferrocyanide

Net Weight : 57.6gm / 2.03oz

This is a Cruelty Free Product. No testing is performed on animals

Now the most interesting part!! Well,  i have swatched all the shades on my hand without any Primer and swatched once only..so that you guys can understand the pigmentations. 

TOP 2 Rows :

All the colourful shades are in top 2 rows

Chi- Royal blue
Mali- Green
Dalia- Electric blue
Zola- Sea blue

 Second ROW
Makeda- Purple Shimmer
Zobo- Maroon Matte
Calabar-Maroon Shimmer
Bori- Reddish Pink Matte Color Mixed with Gold Shimmer

Ah now my fav part of the palate. the bottom 2 rows are my absolute fav. All the warm bown and oranges are here...cant describe in words ..how much i love the bottom rows.

Third Row
Giza : Champagne Shimmer
Burkina : Brown Matte
Cairo: Matte Orange Mixed with Gold Shimmer
Ada: Brick reddish brown

Fourth Row
Dahila : Beige Shimmer
Zulu : Dark Orange Matte
Casablanca: Gold Shimmer (Also sold as a shade in our single collection)
Fulani: Darker Brown

 ( note : these color Descriptions are given on their site)

the shade "GIZA " can be used as a highlighter too..its absolutely stunning.

So what is my thought after swatching ??

Well, I really liked the pigmentation ..and ofcourse all the colors. All the shades are really smooth to touch and shimmery colors are more pigmented than the matte but I'm pretty sure the matte will work good with a primer underneath.

So, overall I liked the palate and according to price ..its great. I mean the size of the pan and pigmentations..

Plz note, its my opinion and i just swatched it on my hand.. How will it work on eyelid and how long it will stay..not sure about . I will Update you guys after using it.
 


So thats all. Hope you guys will like it .

                                                                  XOXO

~~ August favourites~~ | Fav products and Mini Reviews|

Hello everyone,
lets talk about some of my fav products which I have been loving. Each month I  use some new products and share with you my thoughts.

So lets start!

Sunglass :

Oh seriously..I'm really loving this sunglass. this new Cat eye glasses are everywhere..I bought Mine from "Opal fashion wear , a online facebook page.

Milani Conceal + Cover 2 in 1 foundation :

Well, I have a mixed feelings about this..I really dont LOVE it But I LIKE it! I will share a full review on it. its a good foundation but it wont cover everything. If you have stubborn marks on your face..you need a good concealer.

it wont make you feel heavy but its not completely oil free..what i felt, after 4-5 hours..you can see some oils in your T zone!

but yeah, i liked it because it gives a medium coverage and not cakey at all! And Its affordable. You need !800-2000 tk max.

RCMA No color Powder :

Well,most hyped powder of the year till now! Famous You tuber Kathleen Light's fav! What else you need??
Lol..honestly its a good loose powder For Baking / setting under eye concealer . If you compare it with High end setting powders..Its way more cheaper and does the same work. Doesn't set into the fine lines and gives a flawless finish.

price: 1500- 1600 tk. ( 3 oz)

Alix Avien Concealer stick :

This little lipstick like concealer stick works absolutely great. trust me, If you have old pimple marks..try it first before applying foundation and blend it with a damp sponge..it will cover most of the marks. it looks like a heavy thick cream but you wont feel that.

I think.. you can use it as a foundation too.

few days back I used both alix avien concealer and milani foundation on this pretty lady. base looked perfect!


price : 500 tk

Meet Matte Trimony palate:

Yes, One of my fav matte palate. I cant say much about it..i love all the shades ..and it blends out  really good.All the shades are matte .

Colour Pop Super Shock shadow- Cheap Date:

Its a gorgeous golden shade. and you know..colour pop shadows are really pigmented .  Try to use it with finger tip..it works great!

 On her eye lid..I used cheap date. look how gorgeous it looks. and yes also used the meet matte trimony palate.


Zoeva -230 Pencil brush :

Recently I'm loving this zoeva pencil brush. i love zoeva brushes..but this one..i found ..it makes easy to work in  my lower lash line..i can blend very easily with this brush.

Wet n wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder- Precious petal :

Ah.. love love this highlighter.. its so affordable and glow like a super hero sorry herroine. Its a must have if you are looking for an affordable highlighter..

Sorry I do not have pics using this highlighter...but this is really good.


Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water:

We all need a good cleansing water. this water will clean everything from your face. washing your face with face wash after makeup will not clean 100%.. You need a good toner or such type micellar water. use it as a toner with a cotton ball and see the result. you dont need to wash it off.

M currently using it.

So thats all ! Hope it will help you guys!

~~ Pure Vitamin -C 21.5 Advanced Serum By Wishtrend ~~ |Review|

Hello and welcome to my blog! today, i'm gonna discuss about a very important topic. its all about Vitamin C serum- Pure vitamin C 21.5 Advanced serum.

Well, i always love something that contains Vitamin -A/C/E..these  vitamins are called Anti Oxidants. These are very helpful for body as well as skin..they help to keep skin healthy and wrinkle free. So, yeah..when i saw this pure vitamin C serum..i stared to use it .

This is my 2nd bottle. i started using it from january 2016  and used it regularly up To April I guess..then suddenly I stopped using it for some reason...and again using it now ( from the last of august)...

Lets start the story.......

WHY "VITAMIN -C" SERUM IS GOOD FOR SKIN??

1.As i have told earlier..Vitamin C has Anti oxidant property. It helps to keep skin Wrinkle free.

HOW??
Collagen is naturally present in our body,but as we grow older..the process of forming collagen slow downs and aging signs appear.so when you apply topical vitamin c..it stimulates collagen and thus skin becomes smoother and prevent further formation of wrinkles.

2. Heals skin after Sun damage!

Well, we all go out and more or less everyone has some suntan! UV ray is very harmful for skin. it makes your skin weak and yes of course makes us  tan.

Vitamin C can repair this damage.

3. It makes skin Brighter.

Regular Use of Vitamin C serum slowly helps to fade out blemishes and age spots.According to Dr. Oz, topical vitamin C can even reduce the number of sunburned skin cells.

PURE VITAMIN-C 21.5 ADVANCED SERUM BY WISHTREND :

Its like a typical serum, Comes in a brown glass bottle with a dropper. It contains 30ml of fluid.

What It claims?

Pure Vitamin C 21.5%
Paraben free
Non sticky absprotion

Its developed to rejuvenate and brighten the skin more than ever before.

INGREDIENTS:

 Hippophae Rhamnoides Water (70%), Ascorbic Acid (21.5%), Sodium Lactate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Ethyl Hexanediol

MY EXPERIENCE :

well, i started using it from January -16 and used it upto April ..in every alternative night. I prefer to use it at night .
How I use?

I wash my face then I use toner..as vitamin C has Low PH so its important to use a toner to make it work. I need 3-4 drops for my face and neck. after applying I wait for 15-20 minutes then use my moisturizer to prevent dryness.
Because of its exfoliating properties, it is a good idea to follow up a vitamin c serum application with a moisturizer, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Well, When you will start using it first,,you might notice some redness or tinglingness..do not worry ..give your skin some time it will heal. 

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTICE / DO :

1. Just after opening the bottle,keep it in fridge..as vitamin c has oxidizing property so it will turn yellow.
2. Check your serum's colour and according to that use it. Do  not use it, if it gets yellow.

the Left one has got yellow as u can see..and the right one is the new one.

3. Try to finish it within 3-4 months,
4. SUNSCREEN is a must if you use it in day time.

Check your Moisturizer and avoid Following Ingredients after using Vitamin C serum :






1.Retinol. Each active ingredient has a different purpose and using them at the same time in high concentrations may result in irritation.

2. Lactic, Glycolic, Salicylic, Malic or Tartaric Acid. These AHAs and BHAs lower the pH of your skin causing it to dissolve surface dry skin cells but adding in a high concentration of vitamin C may be too acidic on the skin and can result in redness and peeling.

3. Niacinamide : This causes flushing of the skin, and reduces their effectiveness.

What I have Noticed after Using Vitamin C serum:

well,honestly..i didn't notice any brightening effect but it really helped to fade out pimple marks, and i felt my skin got smoother..and thats it!
I'm just using it to prevent fine fines and wrinkles ...thats all for me.

So,hope it will help some of you guys. do not forget to share with your friends,



NOTE : SOME INFIORMATIONS ARE FROM  MR. GOOGLE UNCLE.

~~ COLOURPOP Ultra Metalic Lip ( In shade-KWEEN) |Review & Swatches|~~

Hello and welcome..
So this is a review post about a metalic Liquid lipstick. Colourpop is a very well known brand..they make super quality eye and lip products in affordable price..I mean they are super affordable. I'm a big fan of Colourpop..now a days famous you tubers are working with Colourpop.

Ok lets come to the point. In our recent fashion " Metalic lipsticks" are in.Everyone is crazy for metalic lips.Yes, I.m in them too...as I love colorupop so i was so so so excited when they introduced "ultra metalic lip" in their lipstick range, and I quite like the shades too.

So ..yes ordered the shade "Kween'",a redish-bronze colour. and after getting it i liked the color.
packaging was as usual..you all know ,comes in a white (transparent) glass tube .i used it 3/4 times for few hours and was observing it.

Now DO I LIKED IT OR NOT??

well, 80%  "NO" . No i did not like it. Its colourpop..oh God i expected more from colorpop..Its not good as their normal liquid lipsticks.

WHY I DID NOT LIKE IT??

1,For me, its kinda like a gel type lipstick,its not that much liquidy..i mean It need bit more water..or whatever they use.

 2.Its not opaque..you can not wear it alone ..i mean if you wear it alone ..you wont get the actual color.
( excuse my pimple marks)

3.Its Bit sticky..

4..Did not last long on my lips.


HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK??

OK,If you have already bought this one then  Use a lip liner to fill your lips properly before applying this Metalic lips ( Only way to get the colour properly)

the top one is without any base colour. honestly, if you swatch on your hand, you wont understand properly
the bottom one is with base colour underneath.



so,thats all..i write reviews on my own experience...what i feel ,i write it here for you guys.
So,hope it will help you..dont forget to share with your friends.

~~July Favourites~~ |Mini reviews|

Hello and welcome to my page.Hope you all are doing great.
Sorry I'm bit late this month..was busy with my regular works. Anyways, I.m here now to discuss with you about my fav products I have been loving last month.

1.so first i wanna talk about the eyeshadow palate. its a non branded palate, dupe of morphe 35O. i have been continuously using nad loving more and more. i absolutely loved the pigmentation .

WHAT IS NON-BRANDED PALATE?
well, do not mix between Non branded and Replica.They are different. nonbranded palates are made of same ingredients like branded one. but as they are not under any brands's name hence they come like without any name and prices are bit low. these are not harmful at all.

but replicas are fake.they look alike same as branded palate but are made of harmful chemicals.

2. Next is my all time fav Foundation.Its LOREAL True match. My one is the UK version so looks bit different.
it blends out smoothly and never really broke me out. LOL I only have good words for this one i love love this foundation..nothing can beat this foundation . you guys can try it because its affordable and shade ranges are huge.

3. Ok now another fav thing of mine is "City Color" contour palate. it has 3 powder shades. 2 are brown shades and one is white highlighting powder. these are extremely good..so smooth and blends like magic lol.try this ,its not that much expensive.

4. Sleek highlighter in shade- Solstice!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant describe in words. nothing much to say..if you have this one..seriously you dont need anything else. this is like Diamond and again not that much expensive.MUST TRY!

5. One setting spray i have been loving -elf setting spray. i did my makeup at 10 am and it kept my makeup flawless  upto 8pm i guess. less expensive works good!

6. Now one of my fav part.its Lipstick.. I'm loving the liquid lipstick from "true love" from Limecrime " True love set". its bit different from regular dark pinks. its a mixture of fuchsia with a hint of orange.

7. ok last lets talk about a new concealer wheel which i bought before eid ,its NARAS 3D concealer available in " smartshopping: facebook page. I use the shade -2. it has orange/peach ,yellow and few brownish shades. i had a bad experience with this type og creamy concealer. that usesd to set in my crease..which i totally hate. but this concealer set smoothly and does not crease at all.

So thats all. Hope this will help some of you guys. dont forget to share with your Friends and Family.
