Beauty Blender - Product Review

Tuesday, November 08, 2016 2 Comments A+ a-

Hi Guys!

" Treat your Makeup like jewelry for the face, play with colours, shape, structure - it can transform you. "
- Francois Nars

Today's review is on much raved product - Beauty Blender. Firstly I appreciate the person who invented this magical Beauty Blender Sponge, Rea Ann Silva the hollywood makeup artist.
This beauty blender is invented to give your face a flawless look.



 Product Description :
Beauty Blender shape is elliptical or you can say an egg shape, it helps to make your face look flawless. This shape of the blender allows you to access hard to reach areas with ease. The pointed part of the blender easily reaches the corners of the eye.
It have a suede texture which is very soft therefore it doesn't feel harsh on your face. Its unique curves easily reaches the contours of the face. the Beauty Blender is latex and odour free.

How to Use: 
Wanna get the flawless look? Here you go...
i have seen many makeup artist they put foundation on the hand and then pick it up with blender, but I find that this absorbs the foundation more which is not good.
So what I do is, first I dot the foundation on my face with finger, Then I wet my blender and squeeze the water out. And then simply bounce the blender on the face, Make sure you bounce the blender on the face and not rub it on the face. Bouncing help to blend the foundation flawlessly. Use the pointed side of the blender near the curves of your nose, in the contour of the face and in the corner of your eyes. And the larger area of the blender use it on your cheeks, forehead and chin.
After the use of the beauty blender make sure you wash it not the deep cleaning. But just run it under the water and squeeze it for 4-5 times, this will remove the foundation immediately without drying it inside.




Price & Availability : 
Price: $20 , I got mine on Amazon.in
Even in the sephora it is available.

 Pros: 

  • Lightweight
  • A must have tool
  • Reasonably Priced
  • Blends heavy foundation and gives the air brush look.
  • Perfect size, the pointed tip reaches in the corner and hard to reach area with ease.
  • Cleans easily.
Cons:
  • Lot of product is absorbed.
  • Doesn't work with BB cream.


Rating:
I would rate it 4.8/5.

Will I Re-Purchase?
Yes, I will definitely repurchase it.

Do I Recommend?
Yes, I highly recommend to everyone. This is very useful when you are in hurry and need to look flawless. Amazing.



Hope you guys like it!!!

Victoria's Secret - Pink Fresh and Clean Collection

Monday, October 17, 2016 4 Comments A+ a-

Hi Guys!

" Beauty is in the skin! Take care of it, oil it, clean it, scrub it, perfume it, and put on your best clothes, even if there is no special occasion, and you'll feel like a Queen. If society is hard on you, fight back by pampering your skin. Skin is political. Otherwise why would the imams order us to hide it? "
- Fatema Mernissi 

Today's post is little bit different then previous post, it's about pampering your skin and how to feel good about your own skin. I own quite a lot perfumes and lotions ranging from floral scents to fruity, musky scent to strong manly scents. But sometimes there are days where we just need to feel fresh & clean. My favorite is Victoria's Secret - Pink Fresh and Clean collection which have a body mist, 2-IN-1 wash & scrub and body lotion.




Product Description :


 Body Mist : It have a very cool fragrance. It feel so clean in fresh apple and lily fragrance. It also contains Aloe Vera which refreshes your skin by conditioning it, and hint of scent.


2-IN-1 Wash & Scrub : This product have 2 different things in 1 which is great. One needs to exfoliate the skin everyday to get rid of dead skin, dullness, dust. It makes you feel fresh and skin feel relaxed once exfoliation is done. But when you are in hurry sometimes we tend to skip scrubbing due to which skin gets dry or oily depending on skin. So I love this product more just because I can take care of my skin. Foaming scrub makes skin twice as nice with gentle, skin-polishing micro-beads. A healthy combo of Vitamin E and C nourishes as you cleanse.


Body Lotion : Even this lotion have fresh scent of apple and lilly. This creamy lotion creates an instant moisture infusion with Aloe Vera, Oats and Grapeseed extracts and a healthy combo of vitamins E and C.


Price & Availability:
If you want only one of the product from this collection then you can buy it seperately, or you can get full set. I prefer buying all 3 because you can get a great discount.

Body Mist - 250 ml/8.4 floz : 85 aed ( Rs.1548.65/- )

2-IN-1 Wash & Scrub - 300 ml/10.1 floz : 85 aed ( Rs.1548.65/- )

Body Lotion - 500 ml/16.9 floz : 66.11 aed ( Rs.1204.67/- )

This are the individual product prices, most of the times you can get 3 products for 150 aed (Rs.2733.32/-) to 200 aed ( Rs.3644.43/- ).
This products are available on online sites like Amazon.in, but it is lot more expensive then actual price. So I would suggest that to go personally in store and buy.


My Expirence :
I liked all the 3 products but most of all I love 2-IN-1 wash & scrub. And the scent last all day long.

Pros :
  • Amazing Quality
  • Good Quantity
Cons :
  • Expensive
Rating:
I would rate it 4.8/5.

Will I Repurchase?
Yes, I will repurchase but in different range.

Do I Recommend?
I won't recommend it to buy the products individually because its way too expensive. Most of the time there is sale on this products so you can pick it up that time. 
But I do recommend the 2-IN-1 wash & scrub, I swear by that product. I seriously love it.

Hope you guys like this post! Have a Nice Day!

To get the perfect look you need good makeup tools. There is huge variety of makeup brushes and makeup sponge from different sizes to different shapes. I'm the person who like to find good stuff at good price neither expensive ( which you will not use thinking it will get spoiled ) nor cheap ( which will get spoiled after using for few times ).
So today I'm reviewing one of my favorite brushes BS-MALL Kabuki Brushes.


It contains 10 makeup brushes, 5 for face and 5 for eyes. But there is no specific rule that one should use that particular brush for the same thing. It depends person to person, how it have to be used and how comfortable you are using it.
This brushes are very soft and fluffy. I love the way they feel on the face. This brushes comes in different colors, mine is Golden black.
Round Powder Brush: 
This brush is round in shape.For blending loose powder or any mineral products onto the skin. I use it for same, after applying the foundation I use it to set my face with compact powder to give a matte finish.
Flat Angled Brush:
It is angled and have a flat surface. I use it on my hollows of my cheekbones to contour. It gives amazing dimension after contouring.


Flat Foundation Brush:
This brush is flat on surface. It is meant to blend liquid or cream products onto flat areas of the face such as the forehead and cheeks.
I use this brush on all over my face to stipple the foundation on my face and then start blending it.



Angled Brush:
It is angled and little rounded on the tip of the brush. This brush is perfect for blush and bronzer.


 Tapered Brush:
This brush is pointed in shape and it is designed it so that it can easily conceal under eyes and the nose areas which is hard to reach.


Small Tapered Brush:
This is same as tapered brush but in small size. It can be used to place the concealer on harder to each place like corner of eyes. It can also be used to apply eyeshadow on eyes.


 Precision Round Brush:
It is round shape on top. It can be used to apply eyeshadow or to prime your eyes or to apply shadow base.


 Small Angled Brush:
This is very much angled and sharp at the tip. I love to use this brush to apply eyeliner.


Small Flat Brush:
This is flat on surface. I love to use it to blend the eyeshadow in the crease of eyes.


 Small Flat Angled Brush:
This is angled and round on top in shape. This is very fluffy to blend the eyeshadow.

Price: Rs.1299/-
Price varies from where you purchase, especially if you buy it online then sometimes there will be discount on this brushes. I bought this from Amazon and it was at Rs.1000/-. This brushes are available at Amazon and Flipkart.

It have a very simple packaging. It have the transparent package so you can identify the shade easily. They don't have name for the shades, they have numbers. The shade numbers are at the bottom of the package. The Lip cream have the does shape applicator and it glides on very easily and lip creams is applied perfectly.
