OOTD: Yellow Sari

Hey guys,

This time an OOTD in a sari..I wore this in a close friend’s reception recently..

I am wearing Revlon Colorburst Fuchsia on the lips 🙂

Btw, Romwe is having a sale on dresses..

Romwe 30% off sale under the Dresses catalogue!

Myntra.com Haul and Review

Myntra.com Haul and Review

I know I am MIA from a long time..blame the stupid internet..its been 8-9 days it gets disconnected every night..and during daytime I am in office..finally I get to blog :DComing to Myntra.com, I have shopped a few time previously at Myntra but mostly clothes, shoes, etc..but not from the Beauty section..they provided a voucher to shop and experience the beauty section..and I said why not..

I got my stuff within a day or two..they are pretty quick..and I love how we get different individual boxes..don’t we all need them to keep our makeup 😀

Let’s see what I shopped..

I got:

Faces Exfoliating Gloves (affordable dupe for the Body Shop Gloves)
Maybelline Makeup Remover (wanted to try this from a long time)
Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine Lip Gloss in Plum Luster
Streetwear Nail Polish Remover
Nivea Purifying Face Wash (for Combination to Oily Skin)
Revlon Touch and Glow Pimple Corrector

Things I feel they should work on..most of the things were out of stock..like I had a few things in my cart and they were OOS the next day..so had to replace them..for the Lip Glosses, they had just 3 shades available..and not the shade I wanted..I was interested more in Mirrored Mauve..so definitely more stock and variety is what they can improve on..and shipping is free above Rs.1000/- which I feel is a little too high..it should be around Rs.400-500/-

Olay Total Effects Moisturiser + Serum Duo Review

Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Moisturiser + Serum Duo Review

What the Company Claims: Olay Total Effects Moisturizer + Serum Duo – fragrance free is the most concentrated Total Effects formula for anti-aging skincare, designed to fight 7 signs of aging in one step, for visibly younger-looking skin.

• Skin has a soft, smooth, and youthful appearance
• Reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles
• Protects skin with broad spectrum SPF 15

Olay Total Effects Moisturizer + Serum Duo – fragrance free combines the Total Effects moisturizer you love with an intense serum to fight 7 signs of aging:

1. LINES AND WRINKLES
2. LOSS OF FIRMNESS
3. VISIBLE PORES
4. UNEVEN TONE
5. UNEVEN SKIN TEXTURE
6. DRYNESS
7. DULLNESS

MRP: Rs.369/- for 20g

Directions:
• apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure
• reapply at least every 2 hours
• use water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating

Ingredients:

It comes in a small pump packaging with a plastic cap..which clasps tight and well..I love the golden swivel design on the packaging..

Its a light yellow colored cream..with a slight floral smell similar to the Pond’s Daily Spotless Day Cream..

Pump dispenses a little too much than required..I think the nozzle should have been smaller for controlled dispensing..coz just a pea sized amount is more than enough for the whole face and neck..its quite rich..but not greasy kinds..blends and settles easily..though gives a dewy finish for some time..I think it would be rich for oily skin..but since it is anti ageing..most people after a certain age..tend to have dry skin..and hence its perfect..

I am using it from a week..and cannot comment on the age spots and wrinkles claim..but its very hydrating..and I do not need to reapply it whole day..but since I am combination..I find it a little rich during the hot and humid days..

Pros:

1. Very hydrating.
2. Gives a dewy finish.
3. SPF 15..though its a little less..and if it would have been around 30..it could replace the use of separate sunscreen too…at times.
4. Niacinmide  (Vitamin B3) and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) both are beneficial for the skin.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Not for oily skin.
3. Has parabens.
4. Pump dispenses a little too much..

Overall I would say its good for dry mature skin..and would work for them..very hydrating and skin gets the essential vitamins too..

I love the concept of Frontcover kits..they have some pretty handy and amazingly combined kits..like Desk to Date, Party Queen, Kissogram, Moondance, etc..and they include everything from eyeshadows to lip gloss to applicators and brushes..

The True Colours Kit is a part of their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection..and I loved this kit the most out of all..and since these were at discounts when I bought it, a pretty good deal too..and they have reasonable shipping also..around £4..only hitch is I had to pay customs :/ God..this customs..I hate it 🙁

I am using this from the last 3-4 months..I know its very late..but then there are many things I have been using from more than a year and yet to review :p

Its shaped like a book..and made up of thick cardboard..and has plastic cover with the shadows shape so that it fits exactly and nothing gets spoilt..only issue is shadows and lip glosses can be mixed :/

Starting with the eyeshadows, the kit has 11 eye shadows..6 satiny baked and 5 matte normal..all are super pigmented..and smooth to touch and apply..even the matte ones..are pretty silky and pigmented..and all shadows are my type..taupes, greys, olive green, brown, peach, orange..I love all the shades in this kit..

These are all just one swipe of shadows in the swatches !

Then there are 5 lip glosses..which are more like lip creams..super creamy and pigmented and thick enough..two layers of it would give perfect opaque lipstick like coverage..only issue is except the last two shades..rest are too pale for our skin tone..

The two eyeshadow brushes are pretty good..the fluffy brush is like so multi tasking…works both for applying shadows and blending too..and a retractable lip brush too..the double ended mascara for upper and lower lashes..pretty decent..

Two nail polishes..one pale milky nude and one holographic blue..and a eye pencil..deep bluish steel grey with silver shimmer..has a smudger on one side..gives that soft smokey grey eye look 😀

All in all..this is a perfect travel palette..you may need a lipstick separately..but rest everything is in this kit..even the orange eyeshadow makes a pretty blush..if you dont want to carry one separately..

If you travel a lot..I did surely and highly recommend this palette..and even if you don’t, I will recommend it 😀 Coz this is total value for money..and excellent in terms of quality..you can check out other kits too..they have many different kits and variants..

I will do some EOTDs and looks with this kit..hopefully soon..

For the second look, I used the shade 3 all over..and 4 as the highlighter..and blended in with the 1 in the crease (which gave a kind of taupey effect)..and lined with the Portofino Blue Kohl on the upper lash line (when I am using a bright eyeliner, I keep the eye shadows neutral..for the color to show up)..along with the black Super Liner..and the Volume Million Lashes Mascara..I also used the highlighter..i.e no. 4 on the cheek bones..and lipstick is L’Oreal Color Riche Made for Me Intense Fever Brown 291..

I also tried a bun 🙂
