Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream

Hi Guys!! Today, I'm gonna review the much loved Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream. The Miss Claire range is super affordable compared to Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream. Miss Claire claims that it's not a lipstick nor a gloss. Its nothing like you've experience before. It's lipstick cream that goes on silky but looks soft matte. I bought it for Rs 150 at a store named Beauty hub in Khar.

My Review

The Miss Claire range for soft matte lip cream is very matte, thick and highly pigmented. It is very long lasting precisely 6-7 hours. The Miss Claire soft Matte Lip Cream glides very smoothly on your lip. However, after a really long day it can make your lip dry. Thus, you need to apply a lip balm to leave your lip moisturised.

Packaging

These soft matte lip creams come in a transparent plastic packaging with a black screw cap. You can easily identify the shades as they are transparent and have a shade number written at the bottom of the bottle. The packging is very travel friendly and you can easily carry it in your clutch or everyday handbag.

Consistency

The consistency is thick and matte. Whereas the pigmentation is quite good and requires only two swipes to make it opaque.I have noticed that the lighter shades of missclaire are less pigmented than the darker ones. The texture is very creamy and feels like you've applied butter in your lips. It's very important to exfoliate your lips before applying a matte lip cream. I have 5 shades of the Miss Claire collection namely 41, 11, 42, 10, 07 and 16A.

Cost- INR 150-200

L'Oreal 24H Infallible Liquid Foundation : Review, Swatches

Hi Guys!! In todays post, I'm gonna review the most precious drugstore gem named L'Oreal Infallible 24H Liquid foundation. I bought this from New Beauty Centre in Bandra. The shade near to my skin tone is 250 Sable Eclat Radiant Sand. L'Oreal claims that it provides no tranfer, no visible imperfection, no dry-out and a no mask effect. It also claims that it provides a 24 hour Matte effect that is enriched with Hylouron thus leaving your skin hydrated.

My Review

L'Oreal Infallible liquid foundation is quite thick and perfect for my skin tone. I'm in the shade 250 Radiant Sand. There are very few brands in India that I find perfect for my skintone as the brands here are usually a shade lighter than mine.  It provides a full coverage and is perfect for everyday look. However, you need to apply a concealer after that if you want a glamorous or a heavy look. It appears to be heavy but glides on very smoothely in your skin.

Packaging

The packaging is amazing and clean as this drugstore foundation appears in a pump. Its travel friendly, neat and quite functional. However, the bottle is a bit heavy but one pump is usually enough to give a light weight coverage to your skin.

Consistency

The consistency of this drugstore foundation is thick, matte and hydrating. It will glide very easily on your skin with the help of a makeup brush or a beauty blender. It also sets quite easily thus making you work less on your blending process. Personally, when I applied it , I did have a few spots of redness that were left uncovered, but after applying a concealer it looked even. I would recommend to apply a concealer if you want a maximum coverage. I have also read that this range from L'oreal is more focussed towards the yellow skintones, hence I feel this foundation is perfect for an Indian skin tone.

What I love about L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation

• Since I love Matte products, I like the fact that it has a matte finish.
• The pricepoint might be high but the product is worth your money.

Cost-  INR 1325.

Diwali look!!

Hi Guys!! Its Diwali Season already. Its always this time of the year that everyone in my house is either busy making sweets or just decorating the house. I love Diwali especially the fact that you can actually wish anyone Happy Diwali and it eventually bring a smile on their face. And that reminds me  My +Snapdeal order had arrived on the 29th and I remember me wishing him ( the delivery man) wishing the same and that smile in his face was so unforgettable :)

I ordered this dress from +Snapdeal at Rs 6000. This is from the brand named BIBA. The embroidery in the top is pure gold platted and adds an earthy effect to it. The embroidery also attached with some mirrored work.  The lehenga is pure gold and gives an elegant look. The top and the lehenga are attached together, so you don't have to wear it separately. Also the the accessories are from a local brand. I hope you'll enjoyed this look. And here's me wishing everyone a really awesome Happy Diwali !!!! :).

My monthly Goal.

So it's the month of December and as the days past by I only think about the things I want to accomplish by next year which ends up being the Resolution of that year. Well! technically it's October but as the saying goes by "Every day is a new day and Every moment is a new moment". I am planning to make a monthly goal that will be to read a book per month. My this Month's read is Princess Secrets to Share by Jean Sasson. I've heard a lot about this author especially the fact that her stories usually cater towards women. This will be my first experience reading Jean's work and I hope I enjoy it!

Dunhill Desire FOR A MAN

Since my school days, my dad used to always buy himself perfumes usually from +Oriflame India and the series were named "The Sun" and "The Moon", from which I usually preferred "The Moon" one. Although, I don't remember if the perfumes were unisex, I used to still apply it anyway. 

Dunhill Desire for a Man was launched by Michel Almairac in the 2000's. It has dusky sweet smell. This masculine smell possesses a blend of warm and sensual fruits and wood, with low notes of vanilla and musk. It is usually recommended for a romantic wear. It also lasts for a very long time, roughly 7-8 hours a day. The perfume is placed in a bombastic ruby red glass bottle that demands attention.The Dunhill desire is my dad's perfume that he's currently using. You can buy it from here :- Dunhill Desire FOR A MAN

I have never been much of a blush fan but I have constantly been using this blush palette by +L’Oréal Paris India named "LUCENT MAGIQUE" blush of the glow Palette.

The shine will add a glow to your skin, also replacing the work of applying a highlighter. The blush contains 3 strips of coordinating colors of the same family.

Back to College LookBook #1

I have really been procrastinating for a long time when it comes to blogging and have finally decided  to be consistent on this blog. And that's one of the reason I'm writing about it, to remind me when I think of quitting. So this week I will be posting a #BacktoCollege Series, where as the name suggests I will be posting college outfits in my style.

This is the first look of #BacktoCollege Series. In this look I have worn a top from +KOOVS . This crop kinda top has a jeans material and is green in color. The top is worth Rs 500. I have paired it with a black jean from +Forever 21 worth Rs 1000. Also I recently visited Colaba and had my hands on this shade worth Rs 250 and the bag worth Rs 450. This brown bag is made up of fake leather. Although I did'nt have enough time to purchase anything else, I will be making a post on Colaba haul soon. I have heard a lot about the necklacles that have your name printed on it. I really can't wait to try my hands on it, when I visit Colaba next time.

How to style a #blackonblack

"When I find a color darker than black, i'll wear it.But untill then i'm wearing black"
                                                        -Coco Chanel

During my schooldays, I was a complete tomboy and was completely obsessed with the color black , to such an extent that my mom used to hide all the black shirts whenever I wanted to go out.

The best part about having a black top is that it goes with every outfit be it a jean or a skirt. The #blackonblack look has been trending for quite long. Hence, I decided to write a post on how to style a #blackonblack look.



1) Keep it Simple!!!!

You can make a #blackonblack look completely classy by keeping it simple. In this look I am wearing black jeans which is from +Forever 21  and the top is from +KOOVS . I have kept the look simple by pairing it with a white shoes which I purchased lately from Hillroad, Bandra worth Rs 500.

2)  Pair it with a Jacket.

In this look, I have added an old jean jacket like a cherry on top of a cake.You can also pair it with a leather jacket that'll make the look complete. You can also experiment by wearing different shades like the one I have worn. I bought this shade from +Jabong  at Rs 400.

Maybelline "The NUDES" Pallette

Since my childhood days,I have always been collecting makeup pallet's as a treasure no matter in whatever condition they were and I always used to wait for the wedding season as that would be the only time my mom would buy us(me and my sis) one palette.I used to be a palette hoarder but never really had a brush to apply the shades which would eventually lead me to apply it with my bare hands.

Recently,I got the "Maybelline Nudes Palette" as a gift for my birthday which was gifted by my sister.I had my eye on this palette for a really long time and I guess I am too late to write a review on it but still I'm gonna go ahead and review it anyway.The palette consists of 12 shades.All of the shades are pretty nude and to be completely honest since I am a brown girl some of the shades don't look like I have actually applied it on my eyelid,as the shades have brown undertones.If you are really into nudes and are looking for lighter and everyday wear eyeshadows,this is the perfect palette for you.Also the Nudes palette is great for creating a smokey eye look,as it gives a dramatic edge to your eyes that is perfect for parties or occasions.

How to pair a kurti!

Every time I buy a kurta,I either pair it with a legging or a jean,but this time, I went a little outside my comfort zone and paired it with a long skirt.This skirt is from a boutique named oxolloxo and the kurta is from a brand named bus stop.I don't remember the pricing of these two pieces as I had purchased it really long time back.The skirt has a black and white check like scratchy pattern in it and is quite long, round and has a straight fitting.

The kurta has a lot of embroidery on it, that is mostly threaded.The fact that the embroidery is colorfully threaded on a black transparent material makes it stand out.Since the kurta is transparent,you might consider wearing a black slip inside it or else if you want to be bold, you can go ahead and wear a lacy bra inside it.

The Body Shop British Rose Instant Glow Body Butter

Ever since I've started watching beauty Youtube videos,I've seen many beauty vloggers obsessing about a brand named"The Body Shop" and from that time I could not wait to try any product from this brand.

Recently,I tried my hand on The Body Shop British Rose Instant Glow Body Butter.As the Name suggests it has a rosy scent.Also,is it only me that every time someone tells me that something smells like rose,I start to think about the fragrance of Dabur Rose syrup(a drink that my mom used to give whenever guests arrived in our house) and even though I enjoyed the drink ,I was not into the fragrance that much.But this body butter smells exactly the opposite.It smells divine and has a very mild rose flavor.The texture is very thick,rich and creamy.

When you apply it, your skin feels really smooth and soft.The fragrance may not last you throughout the entire day especially considering the Bombay weather.But it may last for half a day.The body shop products are a bit expensive and this one retails for Rs 1095.If you really like mild fragrances,you may love this product.Also, I have heard a lot about the strawberry one and I'm waiting to try my hands on it!!

Partanjali Aloevera Gel

I remember during my childhood days,my mom would always insist my sister and me to put aloe vera gel on our face and we, being the laziest people on earth would find ways to procrastinate it.So one day my mom decides to give that plant to a beautician thinking at least it would be of a great use to her.Little did we know that as we'd grow up,we would miss it!!

Aloe vera has a great effect on your skin as well as hair.I have seen a ton of youtube videos where they have mentioned some of the  great  aloe vera hacks.One of them is Farah Dukhai's video :-

Having said about aloe vera,I recently purchased Patanjali's Aloe vera Gel and ever since I have purchased this product, I have been obsessed with it!!I like to use the Aloe vera Gel after washing face when it's completely dried.I wash my face thrice a day using the Patanjali Neem Facewash and then massage it with the gel.Ever since I have used this gel,my skin feels cool and moist at the same time.It also refreshes your skin.I love the fact that the gel looks exactly like aloe vera.

PATANJALI "SAUNDARYA" FACEWASH

Couple of few months ago i read a post on Facebook saying Ramdev Baba has actually launched a skin care brand called "Patanjali". Honestly ,I thought it was a fake news because yoga and skincare has no connection but i was wrong.The way people have been obsessed about the brand is crazy like people are buying everything from Patanjali like Patanjali soap,oil,honey and what not.So i bought this Patanjali "Saundarya"facefash and gave it a try.So here's my review on it:

PACKAGING

The packaging is really good and has a tube so when you squeeze it nothing goes waste.

EFFECTIVENESS

This face-wash does a really nice work of cleaning your skin.Although you might feel a little dry if you have a dry skin but it'll make your skin feel and look fresh.Although it has soap in it,it still does a really good work of cleaning.Also it is Ayurvedic , so I don't think that any skin type would be allergic to it.

COST 

The price is Rs 60.00 for 60 gm.
