MY TAKE !

My first impression of The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eye shadows are they look and feel like the mac paint pots . But definitely for half the price . To touch they feel silicony and leave a cream to powder type of finish . The ONE Colour Impact Cream shadows can be applied by both synthetic brushes as well as fingers . Let me tell you a little goes a long way when it comes to these cream colour shadows .

They are highly pigmented and are a dream to blend . Don’t leave any patchy areas or creases . You do have to work fast as they do set fast .
The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eye shadows are supper long lasting and if you layer it with powder shadows , it will not loose its intensity for hours .

Over all for the price they are a bargain . I haven’t found any problem with them by far.I feel they are a must for any makeup lover especially if you like smokey eyes.These would also be lovely for people who don’t like touching up their makeup and want there eye shadows to last all day.

Best way to clean your makeup sponge and Remove stains

I always come across people asking me how to clean a makeup sponge such that they look and feel brand new . You can find makeup sponge cleaners /cleansers in the market these days . I know that BeautyBlender have one and many companies have started such products . But to be honest Im not the one to spend money on such products . Im a Johnson’s Baby shampoo kind off girl .Also as I have acne I generally clean my sponges everyday and if I used a cleaner it would run our in a week or so . But make sure that if you are using a soap don’t use it directly on the product , and keep it exclusively for your makeup .

Im using a Realtechniques Miracle Complexion Sponge which has a week old makeup and foundation .I purposely waited so you can see that this method will clean dry layers of makeup .
All you need :
  • Baking soda 
  • Water
  • Soap
Leave the soap in the water for a few minutes and remove it , if your using Liquid soap then add two pumps . Add the baking soda and dunk you sponge in and leave it for 5 minutes .
DSCN7002
Remove it , squeeze and rub if needed . The makeup generally slides away leaving the water dirty. Rinse under clean running water till the sponge water comes out clean . Leave it to dry in a ventilated cool place .

I had a wedding this month and let me tell you I enjoyed this product allot . I went with smokey eyes , and Bold lips .

dscn6834

Product Description :
Meet your new best friend (with benefits). Get 24 hours of vibrant, crease-free shadow and minimize the appearance of wrinkles in 8 weeks. This formula not only locks shadow in place to give you vibrant, crease-free color that lasts all day; it also measurably improves the signs of aging over time. High-tech ingredients fight wrinkles and improve tone and texture, while optical blurring pigments create a subtle, soft-focus effect that instantly wakes up tired eyes and minimizes the appearance of redness, crepiness and other imperfections.
dscn6836
My Take !
I know the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion -Anti Ageing  is pricey but I don’t regret buying it. I don’t normally approve of spending this much money on makeup, but I saw some youtube videos where people had used this and was so curious, I decided to splurge and give it a try.
dscn6837
I used the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion -Anti Ageing  as a base and held up real nice on my skin and my make-up stayed on.But it did fade a little bit.My eyeshadow did not crease after hours of wearing it in these humid days.It is slighlty tinted but not much , and it does feel silicony , not sticky hence it doesnot work great for glitter or chunkier eye-shadows.
dscn6838
But the Urban Decay Eye shadow Primer Potion -Anti Ageing  on its own is lovely , it leaves a gorgeous shine ,Wow! Not only does it make a big visual difference in highlighting your eyebrows and accenting your eyes, but it also works wonders in keeping your eye shadow color in place .Apply a very thin, even coat of the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion to a clean but bare eyelid. Do not put moisturizer on your eyelid prior to using Primer. Apply your basic eyeshadows and eyeliner . Im telling you , you will find a huge difference .But i feel for outdoor occasions I would prefer the stay dont stray .

dscn6828
My Take !
I have really Oily eye lids , and when I apply a little heavy eyeshadows they do tend to crease within an hour .I have herd allot of mixed reviews about Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray so I wanted to try it out myself .I have normal skin, not too dry or oily and it works great! I like to wear it alone, for a nice clean tint that lasts all day . The Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray eye primer has a yellow undertone which helps cancels all the redness and veins from your lid . I comes with a Doe fut applicator which is great .
dscn6830
The Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray primer itself is not drying at all . It has a thick cream concealer consistency . I use my fingers to spread it , but you can definitely use a sponge for even light application
When it comes to eyeshadow primers, the Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray eye primer is one of my favourite I own . I tried NYX and Too Faced, but this one works best for oily eyelids like mine .To me, it’s worth it to spend a little more on a product that makes my eyeshadow stay perfect for 6-8 hours, while it only lasted about 2 hours without primer. My eyecolor can survive Indian’ humidity and heat, a night out, and my oily skin when I’m wearing this.
dscn6832
I wouldn’t even bother putting eye makeup on without the Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray eye primer.A must have in your beauty regime if you want to wake up your eyes and give your eye make up a clean, smooth canvas to work over.
Usually, any eye make-up comes off on the tissue. This time, I noticed I dabbed after the 1st drop and there was NO make-up on the tissue.This is a proof how amazing the Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray eyeshadow Primer is , and I think everyone should definitely try it out .

What it does:
This fast-drying formula is an essential ally for captivating eyes. The versatile formula can create a subtle trace along the lash line, or a deep, dramatic line that won’t smudge or flake. The ultraprecise felt tip never gets it wrong.
DSCN6819
My Take ! 
One thing I dont regret buying at all are good eyeliners .Because I use them almost everyday , they are my go to item. Sephora features allot of high end brands that we dont have much access in India so when I find a sephora I splurge . The Givenchy Liner Couture Precision Felt-Tip Eyeliner in Black had allot of hype surrounding it and the lovely lady who was working at Sephorarecommended it to me .It was pricey but non the less , I do like to spend a bit more if the product is really good .
DSCN6822
The Givenchy Liner Couture Precision Felt-Tip Eyeliner has a very precise felt tip applicator for the perfect winged liner . It was designed for precision application . The liner itself is very light and easy to hold .
DSCN6825
The pigmentation of the eyeliner is unbelievable . It is so so black . Just like Mac BlackTrack Fluid Line . The Givenchy Liner Couture Precision Felt-Tip Eyeliner finish is matte which I like . Especially if you have a smokey eye going on the lid or high pigmented eye shadows the matte Black liner does stand out . It doesn’t budge or smudge at all , I tested this baby during the humid sticky rainy season in India.
DSCN6823
I got this product a month back and it still feels brand new , the felt-tip is still flexible and sturdy , the flow of the liner is also very smooth yet .
I will definitely re-purchase the Givenchy Liner Couture Precision Felt-Tip Eyeliner . I don’t mind breaking the bank a bit when it comes to good quality products that I use .When you visit aSephora please try it out

Giordani Gold Liquid Eye Liner Review and swatches

dsc_0877

Description :
An alluring liquid eye liner boasting an intense gloss that simply glides on to truly add a littlemore glamour to your look. Luxurious, smudge-resistant, long-wearing formula and fine brush applicator means you maintain your elegance all day long .
 My Take !
 To start off with I dont have oily eyelids so eyeliners dont tend to budge as much .So as you know the monsoon season has started and so has wedding season so I put the Giordani Gold Liquid Eye Liner to the test , and the product delivered well.
dscn6744
The Giordani Gold Liquid Eye Liner has a fine tip and the color is rich. I always use to top off my liner with some pencil- kohl/kajal to intensify the black colour . This alone did the job. It dried well and delivered great rich black color, dint loose its pigmentation at all.Bottom line, all liquid liners are more better in terms of pigmentation according to me, and with the Giordani Gold Liquid Eye Liner you can get all that -easy tip,sharp line, deep black, last long, non smudge, non smear, non transfer, non peel.
Fotor072416598
It’s amazing with not smudging or any transfer to lower eyelid, so that means no more panda eyes with liquid liners.I did give it full 30 seconds to dry also .
dsc_0915
Another good thing about it is it does stay put all day, I mean I put it in around 9 am, back home by 10 pm and it’s still there. Which is what Im always looking for in an eyeliner whether its gel ,pencil or liquid. As I hate re-appying makeup.
dsc_0912
I would recommend the Giordani Gold Liquid Eye Liner because the small marker tip makes it easier to apply and stays out of your lashes. Price side it is on the more expensive end but why not for good quality and you do gt 7 ml which is great.

Realtechniques Miracle Complexion Sponge – Review and First Impression

dsc_0859

Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge:

 

If I was ever to be asked which makeup brushes is the best in the market , price and quality wise the only Brand that came to my mind would be Real Techniques . When they came out with the miracle sponge I was pretty hesitant, because I hate sponges . The fact that you cant thoroughly clean them and also tend to soak up foundation and to me its a waste . I rather use my hands .

dscn6716

But let me just tell you , this idea and picture of a foundation sponge has changes allot . Hence I had to review the Real techniques Miracle sponge ASAP , and give my readers the low down. This sponge is easy to clean and even easier to use.

dscn6719
Dry

As you can see the Real techniques is a oval shaped sponge with a pointed tip similar to the beauty blender . But the factor that makes the Miracle complexion sponge ! ,and  different form any other foundation sponge is that ; it has a flat side . The flat edge helps patting product and blending out foundation . Also this works well around the contours of the face especially around the eyes .

dscn6723
Dampen
The sponge itself is very soft and orange !! I absolutely love the feel of it against my skin . It feels like memory foam . I ran the sponge under water and it increased in size and became more pliable .The photo can clearly show how much it grew .I have never used the beauty blender , but I read allot of reviews online that say the Realtechniques Miracle complexion sponge gives better results , cheaper and more accessible . Its available almost everywhere.
