COTY AIRSPUN LOOSE FACE POWDER IN NATURALLY NEUTRAL

Image
HEY BEAUTIFULL, I hope winter is treating everyone well. So recently, I have gotten into the no-makeup makeup trend which is those days when I stick to my BB or CC cream, mascara, lip gloss, and a setting powder. Not many powders really conceal blemishes but I really wanted to find something that did give good coverage and at least minimized few blemishes. I wanted something budget friendly and while I was on the search, I found the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder. This is quite a famous one with many beauty gurus and I thought I should give it a try. Read on to know how this powder fared!   SCENT It is heavily scented, which can be a downside for some. I actually really like the smell of it. At first, it does seem a little too potent, but within 15-20 seconds the scent does disappear. I own the original NATURALLY NEUTRAL version, but there is a Translucent Extra Coverage which obviously adds extra coverage onto your skin when set, and there are limited shades...

L'oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation Review

Image
Hello beautiful,  Today, I am reviewing a foundation from L’Oréal which was launched a couple of months back – L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte up to 24-Hr Foundation. Read on to find out how this fared on me.   Product Description: Achieve a matte finish that won’t fall flat with this air-light, long-wearing liquid formula. Lightweight and creamy, foundation goes on smooth with a semi-matte finish that lasts up to 24 hours—hiding imperfections for a smooth, clear complexion.   How To Use: To apply, use fingers or your favorite makeup brush. My Experience with L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte 24-Hr Foundation: Packaging:  The foundation comes in a flat plastic tube with a screw on cap. The tube feels really handy and is travel friendly. The tube has a see-through section to display the foundation’s color, but somehow, all the shades looked the same to me in the supermarket display lights(i bought it on ebay). And I really had to bank on...

Winter Skin Care Essentials

Not only is winter the time to employ preventative skin care to protect against the cold, dry elements of the season, it’s also a great time to undo the damage incurred during all your outdoor summer activities! In the wintertime, your skin needs your attention. The cold can take a toll on our epidermis, and we want to make sure we take precautions to protect and care for it. The most important gift you can give to your skin in the wintertime is extra moisture, because it’s craving it. Here are some winter skincare essentials that your skin will thank you for. Protective moisturizing oil There are many different natural oil products out there. The theory behind putting extra oil in your skin in the wintertime is to replenish and revitalize dry skin; this is particularly important if you have eczema. Don’t be afraid to put natural carrier oils on your face! They don’t clog pores and they absorb quickly into the skin . For example, I use my Moisturizing Fac...

The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask + British Rose Plumping Face Mask review

Image
The Body Shop released five expert face mask recipes last year that are packed with natural ingredients derived from “beauty super foods”. The marketing on this is really focused on them being 100% vegetarian. If your interested to find out more about the masks,keep reading. Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask This is a slightly tingling clay mask which is infused with with bamboo charcoal, green tea leaves, and organic tea tree oil. All those components make it perfect for combination/oily skin like mine. It promises to draw out impurities and refine appearance of pores for healthy looking skin. I used this, (and all other soon to be mentioned masks), every two days. I applied the charcoal mask mainly to my jaw area, on my nose, and between my brows. On certain days I also applied it on my forehead. It just depended where I felt I needed the charcoal and tea tree power the most at that moment.The scent was fresh and clearing. I could sense green tea vibe and t...

Review :Huda Beauty Matte Mini lipstick Nude Edition

Image
“On a bad day, there’s always lipstick.” A while ago, Huda Beauty released a collection of liquid matte lipsticks. I was a little hesitant to purchase them, since the price tag was a little hefty for my student budget.  I came across the most adorable set- 4 mini Nude-toned Huda Beauty Liquid Lipsticks. After a few seconds of deliberation, I gave in to the urge and purchased the set.  Scents : Sooo yummy smell like coconut and vanilla Claims: Sephora describes these liquid matte lipsticks as “A highly comfortable, long wear liquid lipstick that dries matte with intense color pay-off and transfer-proof properties.” Purchase: The Huda Beauty lipsticks can be found at Sephora. They retail at about $33. I purchased the mini set for around Rs 1188. Packaging: The Huda Beauty liquid mattes come packaged in a sleek semi-transparent glass tube with a chic black lid. The writing is sleek, yet minimilistic. Application: The lipstick comes with a standa...

Tips and Tricks to get ride of Blackheads

Image
Blackheads occur when your pores become clogged with excess sebum (an oil created by the sebaceous glands that keeps skin supple) and dead skin cells. The difference between a black head and a white head is simply whether or not the pore is open or closed. If the pore is open, the plug of sebum/skin cells oxidizes as it is in contact with the oxygen in the air, which turns it black. Blackheads are not caused by dirt. Let’s make that clear from the beginning. Scrubbing your face obsessively is not a good way to get rid of your blackheads, and is only going to make it worse as you’ll just end up drying out your skin, which will cause more oil to be created to make up for everything you stripped away, and…well it’s a vicious cycle. For this reason, don’t use some of these remedies more than 2-3 times a week, such as the sugar scrub and pore strips. I know it can be hard to resist, but your skin will be better off this way. Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips   Clea...

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara Review

Image
Maybelline just came out with a spanking new mascara: Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara . Since mascara is probably one of my favorite makeup products, I really couldn’t wait to get my hands on this pretty, rose- pink, metallic tube.   This is what Maybelline says about Lash Sensational Mascara : “ Introducing LASH SENSATIONAL – our unique, open-fan brush and fresh liquid formula capture and volumize lashes from root to top “. The brush of this mascara is really interesting and it reminds me of L’Oreal’s Voluminous Butterfly Mascara. It has two curves: an inner curve with small bristles that are great for reaching the roots of the lashes, and a large, outer curve with long bristles that fan out the lashes at their tips. I knew I liked this mascara from the very first application. It has a few things that I like the most in my mascaras: nice formula that isn’t too “wet” (no need to wipe and waste excess product), a great brush that is nice and stiff a...

Huda Beauty Eazy Lashes & Lip Contour Review!*

Image
As a beauty blogger based in Mauritius, I certainly admire just how successful Huda has become and with her beauty line expanding - I couldn't wait any longer and figured I should sit down and dedicate a solid article to it. If you want to hear my candid review, then please keep on scrolling.    Overview As you all do know by now, Huda Beauty offers a great variety of high quality false eyelashes, nails and now lip liners or Lip Contour Matte Pencil (which they are marketed as) . In this post I will be actually reviewing both: her newest lash models, as well as Lip Contour.  Eazy Lash Collection Huda came up with an idea of creating a brand new and somewhat petite collection of easy and yet relatively dramatic lashes, which would be user-friendly for even make-up beginners or women, who (for example) want to upgrade their make-up game - but still keep the actual application process as hassle-free as possible. There are currently only two lash models a...
