A playful collection that blushes cheeks and washes lips with a shot of
cellophane-sheer gel color

“This season, I’ve been working a lot with what I call “acqua color”.
It’s a gentle, watery look with just a touch of bright, vibrant color.”  – Tom Pecheux

This Spring, discover a new way to play with color – introducing NEW Pure Color Cello Shots.  This collection of soft gels and water-light finishes by Estée Lauder and Creative Makeup Director for Estée Lauder, Tom Pecheux, washes lips and illuminates cheeks with a subtle glow of fresh color for a look of radiant, effervescent beauty.

The Body Shop Color Crush Eyeshadows Review, Swatches

The Body Shop Color Crush Eyeshadows Brownie & Clyde, Moonlight Kiss Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about my The Body Shop Haul HERE..I am reviewing those two color crush eye shadows today.What the Company claims: An intensely pigmented, eye-shadow with a silky-soft texture. It’s easy to blend and great for building layers of colour. Dermatalogically and Ophthalmologically tested. Suitable for contact lens wearers.

Intense colour
Matte finish
Silky-soft texture
Available in 11 shades.
Use wet or dry

Shades Available: Berry Cheeky, Berry Cute, Blackcurrent Affair, Blue Over You, Moonlight Kiss, Brownie & Clyde, Sugar Glaze, Sand by Me, Chat-Up-Lime, Caramel Flirt, Boyfriend Jeans

MRP: Rs.695/- for 1.5g

This comes in a small single pan plastic packaging..but its quite sturdy and clicks shut…the eyeshadow pan can always be depotted if you wish to..

225 Brownie & Clyde is a pearl finish taupe brown..a perfect everyday neutral shade..you can wear to work..and add some smokiness or smudge a kohl beneath for turning it to a night look..

015 Moonlight Kiss is a perfect matte black..super duper pigmented..and stays for hours..no fall outs, no creasing..

Why a perfect matte black eye shadow is an absolute necessity in your makeup kit ?

  • For black smokey eyes ofcourse
  • For any smokey eyes..to intensify the smokiness in the outer corners.
  • To be used as a liner…with a slanted angular brush
  • To set your kohl and make it stay all day..just use a cotton bud and dip into your matte black eyeshadow and layer the kohl with it..this would absorb the moisture and kohl stays longer.
  • For easy soft smokey eyes, just smudge some kohl and a matte black eyeshadow lightly.

These are silky smooth in texture and super duper pigmented..especially the Moonlight Kiss..do not crease and stay put whole day !

Here are the swatches..

Pros:

1. Super smooth texture.

2. Amazing pigmentation.
3. Does not crease or fade.
4. Stays put whole day.
5. Available in 11 shades.
6. Can be used both wet and dry..and more rich when used wet.

Cons:

1. A little expensive but if I compare them to MAC..these are quite affordable.

Overall I love these..both these shades are my absolute favorites..Sugar Glaze and Caramel Flirt are pretty too..I love taupes so chose Brownie & Clyde..a good everyday neutral and a rich matte black eyeshadow every girl should have and I found my black ! Highly recommend these..Moonlight Kiss is much better in terms of texture and pigmentation compared to MAC Carbon eyeshadow..and both are 1.5g.

MUA Merged Trio Eyeshadow Legendary Review, Swatches

MUA Merged Trio Eyeshadow Legendary Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Fall in love with MUA’s new improved formula Merged Baked Eye Shadows

With three complimentary shades these blendable trios bring day, dusk and evening drama – just what every girl needs! Each contains two tone threads of colour creating a beautiful shimmer, sparkly enough to satisfy the glitter craving in you!

From your sexy nude tones with ‘Legendary’ to your sultry blues, each soft but durable trifecta of colour will hold up pigmentation for hours. Use the palest shade as a wash over the eye and under the lid, pop the middle shade in the inner corner and use the darkest shade blending out to the outer corner.

For highlighting the cheeks try using the lightest shade sweeping just above the cheekbone to create a pearly glow.

MRP: £3.00

MUA has come up with these merged baked eyeshadow trios..where you see different colored veins on one shadow..and so it looks different in different lights..kinda duochrome..

It comes in three variants: Theatrics, Emotions and Legendary..

I got the Legendary one..it has a frosty silver white, coppery pink with silver shimmer and a light frosty pink..as these are baked, can be used wet or dry..the colors are more intense when used wet..

It comes with a small dual sided sponge applicator..and actually baked eyeshadows work well with a sponge tip applicator..I use the same..

Dry Swatches
Wet Swatches

This trio is good for subtle everyday look..has a bit of fall out since its shimmery..but does not crease and stays for 5-6 hours with a primer..I quite like the highlighter shade..works well for the inner corners too..and the coppery pink when used wet..works well with Indian wear..overall a decent trio..but skip it if you do not like shimmer in eyeshadows.

I like the Theatrics more..the other two variants look more pigmented than the Legendary..

Introducing the NEW Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+

The News Is Dramatic…
Introducing the NEW Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+

The news is dramatic.
The first dermatologist developed moisturizer makes the news again. This iconic lotion has been dermatologist-reformulated to deliver even more dramatically different results…

·         54% improvement in skin’s barrier strength in 8 weeks without changing the famously silky texture.
·         Double the moisturization levels for comfortably hydrated skin all day without an extra drop of oil.

Why does it matter?
Together, these two improvements help skin keep in the healthy essentials and better resist environmental influences.

The logical question.
Why change something that millions of people love and rely on daily as part of Clinique’s renowned 3-Step Skin Care System? “The world has changed. Skin care technology has changed. And so we have changed,” says Janet Pardo, Clinique’s Senior Vice President of Global Product Development.  Clinique is consistently researching new ingredients and technology to modernize its products and ensure clients receive the maximum benefits. Now more than ever, skin needs extra help.

Clinique scientists work closely with Clinique’s guiding dermatologists Dr. David and Dr. Catherine Orentreich, the son and daughter of the celebrated dermatologist Dr. Norman Orentreich who worked with esteemed magazine editor, Carol Phillips and the Lauder family to develop Clinique in 1968.

Dr. David and Dr. Catherine Orentreich run the Orentreich Medical Group in the same Fifth Avenue offices that their father practiced.  “The Orentreichs see patients of all ethnicities, skin concerns, skin types and ages from around the world. Patients were coming in more and more with manifestations they described as redness, itching, burning, breakouts, dryness, dullness…in other words; unhealthy skin. The dermatologists attribute these symptoms to one thing: a weakened barrier,” says Pardo.

There are a number of influences that can account for skin sensitivities, including environmental aggressors, climate change, traveling, lack of sleep, eating processed foods and coping with the stresses of daily life.  All of these culprits take a toll on the skin.  As a leader in treating dermatological concerns, Clinique felt a responsibility to reformulate the beloved and iconic Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion while preserving the qualities that made it so adored and essential to millions of women around the world.

6.5 Years, Worth the wait.
It took 3 formulating dermatologists, 53 researchers, and 100 formula trials to get the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ just right. Clinique’s Product Development team worked together with Clinique’s guiding dermatologists to review new ingredients and conducted meticulous testing before they approved “the one.”  The new formula underwent extensive sensory testing – the biggest Clinique has ever undertaken. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion has been helping women achieve great skin for 45 years so it was important to ask loyalists from around the world their thoughts on the new formula, though the questioning didn’t stop there. Over 1,600 women of different ethnicities across 5 countries participated including existing, lapsed and new users and the NEW Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ received glowing reviews all around. Skin was soft and smooth, and stayed consistently comfortable and moisturized throughout the day.

How it works.
In order to accomplish its dual mission—to provide barrier strength and to boost the moisturizing power, Clinique paired new formulating technology with ingredients that have a dermatological heritage for efficacy and comfort. When the original Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion was developed, Dr. Norman Orentreich insisted on using ingredients that work optimally with the skin.  Today, Dr. David and Dr. Catherine Orentreich continue to advise using ingredients familiar to the skin because these are effective and are least likely to provoke irritation.


The Barrier Strengthening Complex:
·         A blend of sunflower seed cake, barley extract and cucumber extractb that helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier, imparting resilience and resistance to environmental stresses.

The new moisturizing ingredients:
·         Hyaluronic Acid is proven effective in helping skin hold onto moisture for improved hydration.

·         Glycerin is a well known humectant that attracts moisture to skin. Considered highly “hygroscopic,” it absorbs water from the surrounding air.

·         Urea is a naturally occurring component in the production of skin’s own natural moisturizing factor (NMF). NMF ingredients mimic the function of healthy skin.

“You can have the best moisturizer in the world but if your barrier is not intact – moisture evaporates,” says Pardo. “The two actions, moisturizing and barrier repair, go hand in hand.”

With improved moisturizing technology and new barrier strengthening benefits, the new formula is Dramatically Different… but subtly done. So it is still the iconic shade of yellow with the same silky texture and the remarkably quick absorption, it is now just Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+. Skin feels soft, springy. Has a healthy glow. And as a bonus, it helps skin look younger, longer. A new future for all skins.

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ will be is available at Clinique stores and counters across India for a retail price of INR 1,500 (50ml) and INR 2,850 (125ml)

Engagement Outfit & Places to Shop For Bridal Wear in Mumbai

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Engagement Outfit & Places to Shop For Bridal Wear in Mumbai

Really sorry for the delay in starting this series..Phew..you can see the amount of stuff I have compiled and much more to come..I promise 😀 I hope you all would like this series..and it turns out helpful for many of you..

So here is my first post..starting with the outfit..I checked out almost 6-7 shops all over Mumbai..the most famous ones..but saw the same blingy stuff all over..I would stop the salesmen at the start when they even tried showing those stuff.. ‘Please bhaiya ye nahi’..the bling was blinding my eyes 😀

Places to check out for Bridal Shopping in Mumbai :

1. Seasons– There is Seasons at Inorbit Mall and at Kemps Corner and a new Seasons+ at Santacruz (W). They have some amazing stuff especially saris…but do not fall for the pictures..those Russian models look super fab in their outfits coz they have a body to kill for 😀

2. Roop Milan, Marine Lines: They specialise in saris..all kinds..fabric Tissue, Satin, Banarasi, Net, Crepe, Cotton, Chiffon, Silk, Georgette and have all kinds of work Ikat, Chikan, Paithani, Tangail, Kashmiri, Chanderi, Maheshwari, Baluchari, Kanjeevaram, Printed, Sequence, Zardozi, Mirror, Embroidery, Kundan, etc

3. Amarsons, Bandra (W): Its a lane before Red Box Cafe..they have quite a good range of designs..and nice lehengas and suits.

4. Kala Niketan, Marine Lines & Juhu: They have a good collection of saris..your silk stuff..from Benarasi to South Silks, cotton, bandhini to the dressier ones..all kinds

5. Pramanik, Dadar (E)– From your lehengas to chaniya cholis, to suits, sarees, anarkalis..printed, silk, zardozi, parsi work, chikan kari, sequin, gotta pattis, you would get all kinds of things here.

6. Queens Emporium, Marine Lines (E) : A good collection..they have pretty good lehengas..and not the usual blingy stuff.

7. Bawree, Malad (W) & Santacruz (W): There are many stores in Malad (W)…there is Shagun and Bawree which are like 2-3 floors huge and have an own building to themselves..you may find good stuff there..I have been there but saw more of bling and was too tired to explore..but ya worth a check.

8. Roop Kala, Vile Parle (W): Mostly has saris but also lehengas and other stuff..good to check out..

9. Kanji Raichand, Bhuleshwar: This place is a must check ! You get all designer’s first copy here ! Coz many designers get their work done from the artisans they have..and so they have exact copies..Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla pieces are always found. But you need a reference there..they do not entertain first time customers.

10. Jamnadas Khatri, Bhuleshwar: Our Gujrati bridal saris called ‘khomba’ or ‘Gharchoda’ and even the white ‘Panetar’ are all bought from only this shop, if in Mumbai !

11. Ratansi Khairaj, Bhuleshwar: Pure gold brocade saris are best found here..its their speciality..raw silk and pure gold work on saris..called ‘selas’. One of my sari which we wear in the morning puja before the wedding called ‘Gruh Shaanti’, is going to be a ‘sela‘ from RK. But, you will have to take an appointment before going. Their sarees start from 10-15K.

12. Chamee & Palak, Vile Parle: They even have a facebook page..you can check out their designs HERE..I really liked their stuff..amazing color combos and designs..lace,floral, motifs, fab work..they even customise outfits according to you..but slightly on the higher side.

13. JADE by Monica & Karishma, Pedder Road: If you have a good enough budget, I would highly recommend Jade..but their starting range is from Rs.90,000- 1,00,000 and goes higher..check out their facebook page HERE

If you looking for designer wear, there are Ritu Kumar and Tarun Tahiliani stores at Bandra, Archana Kohchar and Tarun Tahiliani’s Kimaya Fashions at Juhu, Neeta Lulla at Santacruz (W) and Aza Fashions (multi designer..yes the one you see in Band Bajaa Bride on NDTV Good Times) at Cumbala Hill…and many designer stores at Palladium Mall, Phoenix, Lower Parel.

And finally from where I got my outfit…

14. Aishwarya Design Studio, Irla, Vile Parle : Its right opposite Alfa-3. They had some very good stuff and at affordable rates..finally I saw something different from the regular bling stuff…they even had Sabyasachi sari copies and the 3 piece lehengas with a corset and jacket..I liked one of that but was a little too heavy and I wanted a lighter outfit.

My sari: I am not someone who would spend a bomb on an outfit..especially bridal wear and stuff..which we do not end up wearing much..hardly 2-3 times..and I also did not want a conventional sari or suit for my engagement..something different..I did try a 3 piece jacket,corset, lehenga but was not too comfy in it..finally I found this lehenga sari..it has a lehenga like base and has no pleats..but is worn normally as a sari..the base is shaded blue, green and pink in shimmer fabric..and has gold work panels on it..a thick border having blue Parsi velvet work, gotta pati and a pearl lace and a pink rounded border at the end with gold thread work. The blouse was pink vertical striped brocade..My designer and I decided to add blue net sleeves as I wanted it to be 3/4th..and the border on the sleeves..she also had thought of doing gold sequin small buttas on the sleeves but I skipped it coz I liked it this way. My sari costed me 10K.

I think I covered mostly all..I did try to..you can add in your inputs too..do let me know if I missed out anything..

If you still have any doubts or need any help, shoot me an email to info@newlove-makeup.com and I would be ready to help..I hope you liked my compilation..do let me know in the comments below..

Update:

15. Prakash Sarees, Ghatkopar East: I just came across this store recently..and lovee it..some super amazing sarees and such pretty color combinations…from net to prints to embroidery..gota patti in maximum sarees with rich colors..definitely must visit !

16. Tulsi Sarees, Thane : I have not personally been there yet..but many of my friends have for their sarees from here..we wear a white saree with detailed work along with our gharchoda for the wedding..called ‘Panetar’. And Tulsi Sarees has good panetars..and one friend also bought her reception saree from here..worth a dekko. Its at Shop No 11 , Rutu Business Park, Behind Vrindvan Society Bus Stop, Rutu Park Service Road, Thane West.

Would update you with more places as and when I find them..

Hairstyles for the Festive Season

HAIRSTYLE GUIDE FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON

So the much-awaited festivities have begun! This season, instead of wearing your hair the usual boring way try these easy-to-do, yet ultra chic hair-do’s picked by Najeeb Ur Rehman, (PPS Manager, Schwarzkopf Professional India) that will help channel the inner diva in you!

Mr. Najeeb Ur Rehman says “These looks are very stylish as well as easy to do. Big hair is sure to grab the attention at evening parties. Chignons, quiffs, plaits, ponytails, glamour curls or teased back hair work especially well as high-volume styles with or without hair jewellery are trending.”

1.Pretty plaits

Plaits are always a winner at festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali etc as they are easy to do, go well with any outfit and can easily be kept and taken out to reveal wavy locks for day two!

Get the look
Ø  Start by using a smoothening shampoo like BC Bonacure smooth and shine range then prep the hair with a flattening spray like OSiS Flatliner and blow dry smooth to ensure hair is tangle free.
Ø  Leaving a few strands at the front, part the hair deep on one side and begin two plaits from either side of the parting. Try the French plait technique to add texture and secure on the head to survive all degrees of head bopping!
Ø  Work each plait towards the back of the head until they meet near the nape and tie the ends into a messy bun. Finish with some Firm Hold Hairspray like OSiS  Freeze or Session Spray for ultra strong styling.

2.Messy chignon

Try the very fashionable messy chignon for an easy-to-do yet elegant up-do.

Get the look
Ø  Gently pull back the hair into a ponytail in the middle of the head at the back and back comb the ponytail loosely with a wide tooth comb.
Ø  Then use pins and grips to fix the lengths of the ponytail back into the base, creating a messy chignon. For a variation, try pinning to one side to create an on trend asymmetrical style.
Ø  Leave the front natural or gently curled. For an all-over messy effect use OSiS Mess Up Matt Gum  for an ultimate finish.

3.Vintage updo


The retro style updo is perfect for a stylish day look and disguising greasy locks resulted from the previous night.

Get the look

Ø  Apply OSiS Upload volume Cream into damp hair and scrunch dry 1980s style – do this with your head upside down to get loads of body into it.
Ø  Once dry backcomb all the roots and twist the back and pin into a messy French plait.
Ø  Next wrap a rolled up head scarf behind the ears, over the crown and tie off to one side – leaving your fringe out
Ø  To finish, spray with OSiS  Session strong hold styling Spray.

Sleek MakeUP Matte Me, Gloss Me Review, Swatches

Sleek MakeUP Matte Me Rioja Red, Gloss Me Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about Sleek MakeUP’s Matte Me and Gloss Me HERE
What the Company claims: With 6 stunning shades to choose from, Sleek MakeUP’s Gloss Me will be the name on everyone’s lips, literally.At last, long lasting lip gloss with plenty colour power as well as staying power is finally here! Strong pigment takes lips from normal to note-worthy in just one slick. The versatile make up bag staple can be layered over lipstick for extra gloss or used alone.
Gloss Me Shades:  Fools Gold, Rosé, Bella of the ball, Kiss & Tell, So Berry and Cranberry Crush
These new lip creams say goodbye to cracked or dull mattes and introduce hydration to the matte world! NEW Sleek MakeUP Matte Me comes in a variety of 6 colours packed with pigment, and full of moisture. Go bold with deep red and purple, or be understated with pink and nude. Alternatively, set your artistic side free and use together to make your own signature shade.No smudging or budging means matte truly is back to stay.

Matte Me Shades: Fandango Purple, Brink Pink, Rioja Red, Party Pink, Petal & Birthday Suit

Gloss Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each
Matte Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each

Today I am reviewing the shades 438 Kiss & Tell and 439 Cranberry Crush in Gloss Me and 433 Rioja Red in Matte Me

Comes in a regular square transparent gloss packaging with a black cap..has a doe foot applicator.

Kiss & Tell is bright orangey blue toned red with silver bluish shimmer and Cranberry Crush is a sheerer watermelon pink with silver shimmer again.

Rioja Red is a bright blue toned true red.

Gloss Me are loaded with shimmer and sticky in formula..though they stay well and are good in pigmentation..I would say these are like any other normal glosses..nothing too different..

On the other hand, Matte Me are amazing..completely matte but yet non drying, full opaque coverage..and stays well..but ya they do flake a little with eating and drinking and needs to be reapplied…and one has to apply neatly with a brush and work before it sets which is about in a few minutes..


Swatches..my mehendi is peeping in :p

T-B: Rioja Red, Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush

Here is it on me..

L-R: Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush, Rioja Red

I made the mistake of not using a lip brush for Matte Me..and sorry for the uneven application..I would suggest using a lip brush for Matte Me for a neat, even and proper application..it takes some time to set..but once set is completely matte.

Overall I loved the Matte Me..and found the Gloss Me pretty ok..good in pigmentation and staying power..I would have preferred less stickiness and shimmer though..

Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush Review, Swatches

Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush Peachy Sweetie Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: For Cheeks that glow with a natural finish
Ultra light weight, silky, blendable powders
Meet the new blush on the block. So Silky and smooth, it blends flawlessly for the most natural finish.
Soft texture for a natural hue.
Easily blends with your skin color

Expert Tip: For the most natural look, always concentrate the color on the apples of your cheeks and blend well. Apply the blush along your cheekbones for instant contours.

Ingredients:

Comes with 3 fresh colors for your pretty skin: Creamy Cinnamon, Fresh Coral and Peach Sweetie.

MRP: Rs. 250/- for 7g (thats a ton of product !)

I am reviewing the shade Peachy Sweetie..

Creamy Cinnamon is a soft tan peachy brown, Fresh Coral is a peachy coral and Peachy Sweetie is a peachy pink..

I love how it gives a natural just out of the gym flush to my cheeks ! Finally a matte blush from a drugstore brand in India..that is quiet economical too ! I like I like :p

The packaging is flimsy..would shatter if dropped even once..does not come with a mirror or brush but I think its ok..at this price, we are getting a good enough quantity of blush..7g is hugee..

T-B: Unblended, Blended

Stays for 4-5 hours and then needs to be reapplied..I guess it would stay lesser on oily skin.

Pros:

1. Matte..and can be used by all.
2. Soft and smooth in texture.
3. Amazing qty.
4. Economical.
5. Easily available.
6. Easy to use.
7. Peachy Sweetie gives a nice natural flush to my cheeks..love it.

Cons:

1. Flimsy packaging.
2. I would have liked more colors..may be more pinks, dusty rose, plums, fuchsias, a brown to contour..all matte colors in blushes possible..
3. Staying power could have been better.

Overall I would say its quiet good..the qty, the price, and its matte..I love this shade..surely recommend it..

I would definitely gift this to many of my friends and its good for bridal makeup trousseau too..those who are new to blushes and want to start and are in college and want an affordable option..
