Hoila ladies!!!

Today I have this eye shadow palette from the brand Mua makeup academy which I think I'm hearing about a lot lately. This brand is based out in the UK but their products are available in India in some online shopping websites like Amazon, Jabong and Flipkart. I ordered these from Amazon.com.

Original Price: Rs 720/-

Bought it for Rs 489/- after some discount

About the product

It has four beautiful shades (rose-gold, silver, black, golden), perfect for Indian skin tones. the colours are decently pigmented. As you can tell from the pictures below, they are quite metallic and shimmery which makes them appropriate for a heavy night look. But obviously if you can carry them anytime, its all dope then. You may also the silver and golden shade as highlighter. 

You can use it for smokey eyes, wedding look , parties and day functions as well. I used them for a night function look and the colour remained on my eyelids and brow bones for quite long, even after my dangerous dance. I wouldn't say its the best thing available at this price but yeah if would like to try out the brand or if you are a beginner, you may go for this one but only after discount. Without further nonsense, let get into the swatches.

Pros

Colour payoff

can be used wet and dry now that's awesome

Packaging is compact 

Great for festive season

Day and night look both

Staying power is pretty decent

Cons

Price is a bit on higher side, but after discount its okay

Only available online

So that's all for now, time sign off and see you all with a new post.

hola ladies!!!

I have been off from blogging lately due to work and several other factors :p. But today I thought of reviewing some lip creams for you all which I have purchased from Sarojini Nagar. Yes you heard it right. Sarojini also offers beauty cosmetics at some really affordable price and since I'm so fond of matte lipsticks, I picked few from this market.

Price: Rs 50/-

Texture: Matte af

Brand name: Silstar

You will find a lot of creame lipsticks in Sarojini however all of them are not good in terms of texture, staying power and colour pay off. There are different local brands available so make sure if you do plan to buy one of these go for this brand called Silstar. There is also one brand Me-on but their lip creams are way to sticky on lips and waste of money :p.

These are super duper matte so you need to moisturize your lips real bad and you are good to go. I apply these almost daily at work and trust me girls they wont get off that easily from your lips what so ever. You will have to use a lip balm to get rid of it completely. 

Enjoy the swatches below.....

What I love

Matte texture
Pocket friendly
Pigmentation
Staying power
Dries within seconds after application

Cons

Nothing else

Let me know if you would like more of such lipstick reviews on local brands and I will be happy to do them. See you with my next post.

taaadaaa!!!

Hello Women _/\_

I saw girls going crazy for the Kylie Jenner lipstick shade and I couldn't understand what was so great about it?? Then, I was more into dark & bold colours so couldn't feel the craze for nude lips. But now, I'm discovering a new me who wants perfect nude lips, though I still love bold colours. Recently, I have started following Santoshi Shetty from THE STYLEEDGE (check her page out right now) and she, I think wears the perfect nude shades. She kinda NAILS it!! I'm so obsessed with her lipsticks that I think Kylie Jenner will fail in front of her :p

I dont really have any nudes in my little makeup bag coz I dint find any till date. But let me tell you all that I have found that perfect nude for me and so I thought I should share it with you guys as well. This one is from the Maybelline colorshow mate lipsticks range and the shade is "Mysterious Mocha". So I discovered this shade in the one of the priyanka chopra lipstick video by Shreya Jain. When I saw this shade on her lips, I made my mind that I will have to add this in my pouch ASAP and the next day literally the next day it was with me. 

This is my second lipstick from the Maybelline colorshow range and the first one was not that great. You can checkout the reviews here -----} http://tordugaila.blogspot.in/2015/10/maybelline-colorshow-creamy-matte-in.html

About the Lipstick...

It is a creamy matte lipstick. Glides on like a pro and settles into matte finish. What I like to do is, apply one layer, blot with a tissue paper, apply another layer and then again blot my lips with tissue. This way it kinda stays for a long time plus gives a perfect matte lips. This one is actually the colour of my lips which is light brown. This is the perfect nude for my lips but if you have pinkish lips you can apply this with a pink lipliner/lipstick as a base and it will give you the perfect pink nude kinda shade. When I'm bore with the nude brown, I usually do this and it works dope. Below you will see the pictures with pink and brown mixed.

Hello ladies, how are you all doing?? 

Lipstick is my weakness and I have realised this lately. I just can't stop that urge inside me to buy more and more lipsticks, I have to do something about it. But before doing that, let me do a review about these new bae's in my life. I got these from a stall outside a mall in Rajouri, Delhi. They had a huge collection of lipsticks, lip-cremes, kohl, brushes which were some local brands which I had never heard before. Nevertheless, their performance was kick-ass so the brand din't really bother me. 

About the lipstick....

I wanted to pick all the damn colours they had but I wasn't quite sure of the quality and stuff so just picked two. These are amazing lipsticks in terms of everything for the price it comes in. I have applied them at work and it stays for a decent time and the colour pay off is great too. The texture is matte but the colour brandy is a little difficult to apply but once that is done it will set on your lips and stay there for good 3-4 hours. After meal, it just stays on the corner of the lips. Their packaging is a dupe of L'Oreal  paris color riche collection. 

Price: Rs 250/- (I got it

What I liked...

Price , very affordable for college going
Pigmentation
Texture (matte)
Staying power is decent but for the price, I dont mind that
Packaging is Nice

Hola People!!!

How have you all been keeping?? I'm too busy these days as my friend's wedding is approaching and kicking my ass with a lot of shopping and stuff. So if you all have been following me, you know I'm going a bit crazy for natural products currently. Jayshree Rukhana from "The soap Factory" sent me some these delicious looking soaps and I just couldn't take my eyes off for a while. When I opened the packaging my room was filled with a mixed natural scent of lemon, orange, lavender and what not. I kept few in my bag and my whole bag was smelling so bloody good. So yes it has a very strong smell but it doesn't irritate your nose or wont bother you.


Ingredients

Oil: Coconut & olive
Shea and coco butter
Colors used are completely safe
No extra SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) used
Safe for baby skins as well




About the Soaps

As mentioned above, these are all natural hand made soaps and thus safe to use on your skin. The scent of these soaps are just to die for due to the presence of essential oils which relaxes your mind and body. I took the smallest bar with me to Rishikesh and its been 18-20 days and its still being used. Unlike other soaps, it doesn't melt which is a big yayy for me because I hate the melted soaps as they become extremely difficult to deal with. It give you enough lather but obviously not the ones you get from the market. But, I have been using these soaps and have no issues using them. My mother is really happy as these soaps do not melt easily hence they don't get over that easily. I think you should really get your hands on these bars if you are into organic things.










About the Owner of Soap Factory

When it comes to soap, the good news is that there are tons of safe options. The bad news is that most of these soaps are produced by small manufacturers and hence not sold in most grocery stores nearby. I found Jayshree on Instagram and there she took all my details to deliver the product. You can also checkout her on instagram where she post pictures of the latest creations. She makes them herself and delivers big orders as well. You can also visit her store at the below address:

210/D, Saurabh building
Dr Ambedker Road
Opposite to Kapol Nivas
Near Vijaya Bank, Matunga
Mumbai 19

Contact Number: 9821924128

Its wrap for now, will see you all with a new post soon.

taaadaaaaa :)

Quantity: 120 ml 

Price: Rs 295/-

Hola beauties :) 

I was in Rishikesh for two days and my skin is gone a bit crazy because of the weather and water over there. Since I have been too much into my skin after this trip, I though I should come up with a skincare product post. Hence,  I'm back with a new post about a cleanser from Soultree. I have heard about this brand a lot and also seen its products online. Soultree is majorly known for its natural, organic skin care products. You can also checkout their products here http://www.soultree.in/

Currently, I'm obsessed with organic products and you will see that with my upcoming post as well. I feel natural products do work on your skin and even if they don't, they wont harm your skin either. 

What the product says

With its subtle floral notes this everyday face cleanser and make-up remover soothes and protects your skin. Organic Aloe and fresh Rose water made from the wild Indian rose is blended with Ayurveda extracts of organic licorice to give your skin multiple benefits. It cools and heals skin, lightens sun tan and using it daily as a cleanser ensures an even skin tone with visibly reduced blemishes. 

Orgainic Type: Natural

Fragrance: Jasmine

Ingredients: Aqua, Aloe barbadensis*(Aloe vera), Coco- caprylate/caprate, Coco glucoside, Cetearyl alcohol, Glycerin, Prunus armeniaca oil, Cetearyl glucoside, Rosa damascena water (Rose water)*, Sodium benzoate, Potassium sorbate, Tocopherol, Sodium stearoyl glutamate, Cananga odorata oil, Lactic acid, Xanthan gum, Glycyrhizza

Contains No Silicone, Alcohol & parabean 

My Take.....

It comes in a plastic bottle with a flip-flop cap which makes it very convenient to take the required amount of product out. Because of its size and cap, you can easily carry it in your bag/pouch as the liquid doesn't come out of the bottle like many other products I have seen. Its actually a cleanser but you can also use it to remove makeup and it does an amazing job at it. If you religiously follow CTM (cleasing, toning & mosturizing) routine or planning to make it a routine, you can use this one as it is all natural. I don't use it as a cleanser as I don't follow cleansing method so I use at night to remove all the makeup or dirt on my face. It cools, soothes and protect your skin as it contains organic aloe and fresh rose water. 

Instructions to use - For cleansing, wash face and pat dry. Dab on cleanser and spread evenly using finger tips or cotton. Wipe off gently after two- three minutes. For removing make-up, take a few drops on cotton wool and gently wipe off.

What I liked

No Animal Testing

Natural origin ingredients

Free of colours & fragrances

Packaging is recyclable

Made with Ayurvedic formulation

Reduces blemishes and sun tan (claims)

Travel friendly

Multi-purpose (cleanser & makeup remover)

What I din't like

Little pricey 

Availability in local stores, but you can find them online easily

Do let me know if this post was helpful to you in some way or the other. Also comment if you have already used this product and tell me about your experience with it. If you want me to review any of the products, do let me know and I will try my best to review it for you all. 

See you all with a new post, have a kickass weekeend.

Cheeers!!!

March ka CHAMKEELA fab-bag

Hola gorg ladies!!!! How is your week going?? Well I'm too busy with work and planning a trip to rishikesh. Yes, I'm way too excited for rafting, road trip, river side camps, mountains, my favorite people you see I will have everything around me that I love. Let me know if you would like me to post a travel blog as well about my trip. Okkk so coming back to the bag, this month the theme was this shiny, silverish, flashy little baby. I think fab bag literally have the most amazing bags as in the designs & stuff but the products inside it umm no comments :) Those of you who are not aware of the concept of beauty bags, read below

.

It is a subscription which you can opt for a month, half yearly or yearly depending on your mood, nature, pocket etc etc. You would receive few products in your bag which includes sample size and full size products.

1 month subscription costs Rs 599/-

3 month Rs 533 i.e 1599

6 month Rs 483 i.e. 2898

12 months Rs 416 i.e. 4992

I have also reveiews January and February bags already and you can check out my reviews by clicking on the below link, if you wish to.

January bag: http://tordugaila.blogspot.in/2016/01/january-fab-bag-2016.html

February bag: http://tordugaila.blogspot.in/2016/03/fab-bag-february-2016.html

About "The Chamkeela" bag

I took three months subscription in January and this was the last bag of that subscription (sad face). What I noticed is that I received lipsticks in all the three bags in my subscription. Undoubtedly, I loved the silver pouch but the red one is more spacious. I think I'll be keeping my jewellery stuff inside this pouch to match the silverish theme. 

The first thing that I received in the bag was a Renewing shampoo and conditioner from Wella professionals range. I have never used their hair care products before so this would be my first time and I'm pretty sure they are going to be awesome. I'm planning to take these babies along with me to Rishikesh as my hair would need the best after all the damage. 

Conditioner: Rs 1075 for 150 ml

Shampoo: Rs 975 for 250 ml

Before this bag arrived, I was aware that one of the sugar lipstick is going to be a part of the march fab bag and I was literally jumping coz I wanted to get my hands on them so badly. I thought they are sending the sugar matte as hell lip crayons but all my dreams shattered when it arrived. So this was the second product from Sugar It's A pout time vivid lipstick in the shade Mad Magenta. 

I have already applied it twice and they are I must say Sugar is launching bang on lipsticks and I'm sure they will give tough competitions to many high end brands already existing. The only drawback about these is the price, for me its a little overpriced. 

Lipstick Full size - Rs 599/-

The other two products were the lip balm from Kronokare The Frizz kiss cooling explosion and a nail paint by Nykaa in Strawberries & Cream. I love the colour of the nail paint as it's very summerish and hence perfect for summers. On the other hand the lip balm is not that great, it give a mint effect on your lips once you apply, nothing great about it. 

Lip Balm: Full size, Rs 95/-

Nail paint: Rs 149/- for 10 ml

Well that's the end of the post and the fab bag as well .
Lord give me the strength & money to subscribe such bags more often :D

Ok galsssss thats all for now, will see you all with a new post till then keep subcribing, liking, sharing and commenting man.

Cheers!!!
