Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15 evens and corrects: Review

Image
Clinique Even Better Foundation There are 2 kinds of girls, one who have naturally flawless skin and the others who have to rely on foundations for a flawless looking skin. Sadly for me I belong to the latter category. I love the natural finish that my YSL Touche Eclat Foundation offers but the coverage is light-medium. I wanted a full  coverage foundation that looks natural and this, Clinique Even Better Foundation  was just the perfect choice.

RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday Collection ~ RiRi Woo Lipstick & Nail Lacquer Review and Swatches

Image
RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday Collection RiRi Hearts MAC   holiday collection has been launched few weeks ago in India . At first I had decided on 'Pleasure Bomb' lipstick which is a matte fuchsia, unfortunately it did not reach Bangalore at all.  So I decided to pick 'RiRi Woo' only for its drool worthy packaging. Also I was eyeing this 'RiRi Woo' nail lacquer ever since I got to know about the holiday collection.

Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat: Review

Image
Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat If you are like me who love changing nail polishes then this,  Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat can be your new BFF. I love nail polish and keep changing it often and until a few weeks back  I applied nail polish without a base coat. So you know how much damage is already done. So every time I changed nail polish I realised the application isn't even. I tried a few base coats but they did not impress me like this one.

Maybelline Lip Polish in Glam6 Maybelline had some phenomenal launches in 2013, and with launch of Lip Polish (Color Elixir Liquid Lip Balm in other parts of the world) in India I'm hoping 2014 is gonna get better.

Hello Everyone! I actually love brands that are generous in giving away samples. Clarins  has been very generous in giving a lot of samples so I have enough samples that last about 2-3 weeks easily, so I thought why not have sample reviews  where I will mention if I am gonna buy the full size or give it a pass!

Are Make-up & Skincare Products Really Safe?

Toxic metals in beauty products This morning when I woke up, the first thing my mum asked me to read was about the article " Toxic metals in beauty products"  on TOI . I took it quite casually as most of what comes in newspaper is made-up.  But as I read through I was shocked by what I read. We beauty bloggers try & test a hell lot of products on our skin. Is it worth all? I am just shocked that reputed companies have been so irresponsible. Though I do a whole research on the product before I buy, there are days when I actually like something and don't bother reading the ingredients list. We can probably take care by reading the full ingredients list , discarding products once the shelf life is over & doing a deep study about the brand.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel : Review

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel Clinique  is the brand I am currently hooked on to.. They have some incredible products to suit different skin types. My hunt for a moisturiser was narrowed down to clinique.  Clinique had 2 versions of this moisturizer: Lotion  for normal-dry skin types & Gel  for combination -oily skin. Since my skin type is acne prone and oily the best choice for me was Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel.
