Inglot Double Sparkle Eyeshadow 464 Review ,http://makeupbop.com/p/urban-decay-naked-2-eyeshadow-palette-319Inglot Double Sparkle Eyeshadow 464

Hello IMBB Readers,http://makeupbop.com/!

Today I’m going to review Inglot Double Sparkle Eyeshadow 464. This being my first review of my first and only eye shadow square from Inglot I went to buy a particular trio but it was out of stock and hence I ended up buying DS 464 eye shadow from Inglot. I am an amateur at eye makeup and Rati’s tutorial on “How to Apply Eyeshadow” has become my ultimate guide. It has helped me understand the basics and has given me the confidence to post this EOTD today. Thank you Rati

Price: INR 350 for 2.5gm

My Experience with Inglot Double Sparkle Eyeshadow 464:

Inglot DS 464 is a beautiful soft brown color in semi-matte finish with fine gold shimmer that does not show up on the eyes as much as it does in the pan. This shade can be worn during day as well as night time. It can be applied as all over lid color for medium to dusky skin tones. The color is well pigmented and there is no fall out during the application. It stays on my oily lids for more than 5 hours with primer beneath, without primer it starts creasing in 2-3 hours after application. I find the texture to be smooth, not at all gritty and easy to blend.

Pros of Inglot Double Sparkle Eyeshadow 464:

• Beautiful soft brown color.
• No fall out.
• Well pigmented
• Smooth texture.
• Not at all gritty.
• Excellent staying power with primer beneath.
• Very subtle gold shimmer.
• Economical.

Cons of Inglot Double Sparkle Eyeshadow 464:

• None

Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask Review Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask Review

Hello lovelies,

Today,http://makeupbop.com/p/urban-decay-naked-2-eyeshadow-palette-319, I am going to review Lush’s fresh face mask – BB Seaweed.  As you all know, Lush face masks are handmade with the finest essential oils, fresh fruits, veggies, deep cleansing clay and rich herbs, so they are all made from natural ingredients. These are perfect for skin as they don’t cause any harmful reactions.  In my last review on Lush – Dream Steam tab, I had mentioned that I love to do home facials. I use this mask after scrubbing and steaming my face.

Product Description:

Locally harvested seaweed mask.  Finding the right mask when you are working with sensitive skin can be risky. Redness inducing, inflammation causing even painful! BB Seaweed is a best-seller for its ability turns every rough patch into smooth, supple skin. No surprises here, BB Seaweed is packed full of none other than the ocean greenery itself! Seven pounds of it in each batch, in fact. Finely ground almonds gently slough away dry skin, rose absolute balances skin tone and organic extra virgin olive oil moisturizes. Slather up in seaweed and feel your skin smile.

Features:

BB seaweed is for exfoliating the delicate skin without irritating it.

Made of seven pounds of nutrient rich seaweed.Rose absolute oil in BB seaweed to improve skin’s texture and tone.

Ingredients:

Lime Tree Flowers (Tilia europaea) , Sweet Violet Leaf Infusion (Viola Odorata) , Kaolin , Honey (Mel) , Glycerine , Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis) , Bladderwrack Seaweed (Fucus gardneri) , Organic Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe barbadensis) , Millet Flakes (Panicum miliaceum) , Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Olea europaea) , Bentonite Gel , Fresh Rose Petal (Rosa centifolia) , Rose Absolute (Rosa damascena) , Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon cablin) , Rosemary Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) , Seaweed Absolute (Fucus vesiculosus) ,http://makeupbop.com/, *Citral , *Geraniol , *Benzyl Benzoate , *Limonene , *Linalool ,http://makeupbop.com/p/urban-decay-naked-3rd-eyeshadow-palette-315, Perfume.

How To Use:

Cleanse your face and pat dry. Smooth a good dollop of Fresh Face Mask over your entire face, making sure to avoid the eyes and mouth. Leave the mask on for about ten minutes (do not let the mask dry completely).Finally, wash off with warm water and follow with your favorite toner and moisturizer.

Price:

$6.95 for 2.1 oz jar.

My Take on Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask:

I am sold for anything that claims to be safe for sensitive skin. I used this product after steaming my face and applied a coat of the product on the face as instructed. I left it on for more than 10 minutes as it had an amazing smell and I loved the feeling of it on the skin. This product has a great fragrance to it. Once it dried, I splashed some warm water on the face and removed the product by gently massaging it on the skin. It has a nice grainy consistency which helps to scrub and exfoliate the face. You can see specks of lime tree flower leaves. It leaves the skin beautiful, soft and glowy after washing off and a subtle fragrance still remains on the face giving a fresh feel. The SA had advised that I could use the product every alternate day.

Pros of Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask:Smells really good.Ingredients are fresh and handmade. There are zero chemicals in it.Suitable for any skin type and most importantly sensitive skin.Has a grainy texture which exfoliates the skin without being harsh.Helps to treat redness and post acne scars.Leaves skin smooth, soft and supple.Fragrance lingers for quite some time giving the face a fresh feel.Mask gives a cooling effect.Cons of Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask:Product has to be saved in the fridge and there is a short term expiry date (frequent power cuts may spoil the mask.

I don’t see any cons and I am totally loving and enjoying the product to bits and pieces.

Nuetrogena Age Shield Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF70 Review Nuetrogena Age Shield Sunscreen Face Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF70

Ola girls!

I am writing this review after a really long time that it feels like my first review here.. And I immensely missed IMBB and reading all the amazing reviews here! I am totally loving all the summer product reviews and DIYs. Summer is almost here in California and here’s my first summer review after the so called sabbatical

My take on Neutrogena Age Shield Face Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 70

Without much ado, let me tell you that I am in Loooovveeee with this sunscreen ever since i got it ! Neutrogena is one brand that never has disappointed us with their sunscreen range and Age shield is no different. My skin is perpetually dry during all seasons, summers are no exception. Though my T-zone tends to get a little oily in summers, the other parts of my face still remains dry. More than just protecting the skin I always look for stuff that also adequately moisturize my skin because I don’t like layering up too many products and then feel uncomfortable throughout the day waiting to take it off. So when Ifinally found this, I was relieved!

Neutrogena Age Shield Face Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 70 does everything it claims! It comes in the standard neutrogena sunscreen packaging and all you need is a pea sized amount of it for the face and neck. Let me list out the pros and cons of this to give you a clearer picture.

Pros of Neutrogena Age Shield Face Lotion SPF 70

Cream like texture. I have dry skin and i find this enough moisturizing. I also apply this on my elbows and other dry areas and they behave well for the rest of the day.
Very little amount needed
Goes very well under my make up
Sweat proof,http://makeupbop.com/benefit-m-1. Waterproof. Totally!
Light weight formula, Applies smoothly on the skin.
No white cast after application.
Does not make my face shiny for a couple of hours.
Very light fragrance that is not bothersome.( Few sunscreens have fragrance that give me headaches!) But the fragrance doesnt stay on long

Cons of Neutrogena Age Shield Face Lotion SPF 70Since I  have dry skin, excessive rubbing of this causes the cream to peel off. Need to be careful with that else it would be a herculean task to remove those, especially if you are in a hurry!For oily skin beauties, it might make their skin shiny pretty quick.

But apart from this nothing really! I love this one!!

Though this is definitely a good product I find all the Neutrogena Sunscreens to be the same.. this one is no different from the others. But if you would want to try some thing new and still be sure about not breaking out and protecting in the sun. give this one a sure try. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Bottom Line: I would repurchase and definitely recommend this one!Rating: 4.8 / 5

Essence Mono Eyeshadow – Blockbuster Review Essence Mono Eyeshadow –,http://makeupbop.com/urban-decay-m-6; Blockbuster Review

Today, I will be reviewing an eyeshadow from Essence.  Off late, I am loving eye shadows more than anything else and experimenting a lot with them.

Product Description:

Mono Eye shadows with a high pigmentation guarantee a colorful start to the season. Whether shimmering, matte, metallic, or even holographic, the essence shades create unique effects on your eyes and give your final look an extra special touch.

Ingredients:

Talc, Mica, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Myristyl Myristate, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Silica, Isopropyl Myristate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Linoleic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate,http://makeupbop.com/, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben,http://makeupbop.com/p/urban-decay-naked-3rd-eyeshadow-palette-315, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Ci 77499 (Iron Oxides), Ci 77891 (Titanium Dioxide).

Price:

Rs. 149 for 2.5 gm.

Packaging:

It comes in a transparent packaging which I find quite convenient to locate the shade. The transparent case is quite sturdy and travel friendly.

My Experience with Essence Mono Eyeshadow –  Blockbuster:

Essence has some great eye shadow singles as well as palettes, all with different finishes. This particular shade is from the Matte range. I am not much of a shimmer person and when I saw this matte eye shadow, I immediately bought it. Essence has more of shimmery eyeshadows, only this shade was matte. If you love shimmery eyeshadows, then do check it out. The shade is cream white, more towards beige and a beautiful color for applying all over lids. If like me, you do not favor shimmery eye shadows much, then you can use it as inner corner highlight and on the brow bone as well. This particular shade is very much similar to MAC Brule eye shadow, the difference being, Brule is satin finish and this one is matte finish.

This shade looks very good on medium skin tones with yellow undertones as well. I am so impressed with this eye shadow, there is very little fallout and is so smooth.  Considering that its a matte eye shadow, it is extremely good as matte eye shadows tend to be much more chalky and powdery compared to other finishes. Since the day I bought it, I have been using it almost daily on my brow bone, to get that clean brow look. It is much pigmented, just a single swipe and there is good color payoff.

In the swatches, I have swatched it alone as well as with NYX eyeshadow base. I have very oily lids and this stays on for around 5-6 hours without a base after which it starts to crease and fade. When paired with a base, it stays easily for 7- 8 hours. I have not faced any problem in blending the eye shadow; it blends easily and does not look patchy at all. I just wish the packaging was a little attractive, but anyway, this see-through packaging helps a lot in storing it.

Pros of Essence Mono Eyeshadow –  Blockbuster:This shade can be used in many ways.Great color payoff.Smooth texture.Very little fallout.Blending is easy.Affordable.Stays on for a long time.Cons of Essence Mono Eyeshadow –  Blockbuster:Not the best packaging.

Do I Recommend Essence Mono Eyeshadow –  Blockbuster?

I totally recommend this shade, it is multipurpose and a must-have for me, go get it.

Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color 145 Review Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color 145 Review

Product Description:

Cast a spell in satin.  Rich color takes life in a luxuriously creamy stick that brings satin to your lips. Enriched with sunscreen,http://makeupbop.com/, vitamins and the goodness of olives, your lips will have a story to share. Indulge in a pool of beautiful shades ranging from floral pinks to shimmering peaches.

Price:

Rs. 225 for 4.4 gm.

My Experience with Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color 145:

I ordered a few Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Colors online a few weeks ago, I have already reviewed a few.  I have already reviewed shade 142 and now, I am reviewing shade 145.  I expected shade 142 to be prettier than 145. I was expecting a very average color from 145, but when I got my order and tried both of these lipsticks; I liked 145 more than 142.

Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color Shade 145 has a mixture of coral, pink and brown in it. It has more pink and coral than brown. There is no shimmer and the shade has glossy sheen to it. This color looks light pale pink on my lips. It hardly looks coral on my lips.  In bright light, you can see the coral tones it has. This shade tilts towards peach. This color will suit fair to medium skin tones the best. It will wash out warmer and dusky skin tones. This color might be a MLBB shade for many Indian skin tones. I like that this color doesn’t look bold or bright on my face and I can easily wear it in the day and in sunlight. This color can be easily worn to college or office on light makeup days. This is not the type of color which will instantly lift up a dull face and give a glow to it, but it just gives a hint of color to the face. It will look good on no-makeup days.

Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color has maroon, rectangular, sturdy packaging. I am sure most of us find the packaging to be very boring and unattractive but what else to expect at such a price. The shade number is written at the bottom, but there’s no transparent cover or base to identify the shade without opening the cover. Well, this will definitely cause a problem in identifying the shades of the lipsticks among the entire collection you have from this range. It has a strong lock, so no chance that the cover will unlock by itself in the handbag or purse. The sturdy cover definitely makes it travel friendly.

The pigmentation of this color is neither very poor nor too good. It takes two swipes to build an opaque coverage and to make sure that it covers the pigmentation of my lips completely. The glossy sheen stays on for about half an hour and then it looks matte. This lipstick glides on very softly and smoothly on my lips. It doesn’t dry my lips at all. A lip balm isn’t must beneath this lipstick. It stays on my lips for about 3 hours and leaves a pink tint on my lips after meals. This lipstick doesn’t settle in lines and doesn’t bleed.

Pros of Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color 145:This color might be MLBB shade for many Indian skin tones.A good casual, neither bold nor bright color, which can be worn easily at college and offices.Glides on very softly and smoothly on my lips.Moisturizing.Glossy sheen.Decent pigmentation.Doesn’t settle in lines.Doesn’t feather or bleed.Decent staying power.Cons of Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color 145:Won’t suit warmer and dusky skin tones.Boring packaging.

IMBB Rating:

3.8/5

Will I Repurchase/Do I Recommend Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Color 145?

Yes, Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Colors give us a wide range of colors to choose from and have decent quality. I will definitely check out a few more shades.

Byphasse Laque Cheveux Hair Spray Fixation Review

The last time my brother-in-law went to France on an official trip, my sister asked him to look for some hair product that would give her hair a glossy effect. Not the one willing to understand the nitty gritties of hair products, he just went and picked up this hair spray from Byphasse. It turned out that my sister was least interested in a hair spray and she gave it to me and I lapped it up. I use this hair spray sparingly myself and here’s the review of the first-ever hair spray that I ever used.

SOME INFO ABOUT BYPHASSE LAQUE CHEVEUX HAIR SPRAY FIXATION HAIR FORTE:

Byphasse is a Spanish/French beauty and cosmetics manufacturer distributed in more than 40 countries. The products are backed by a strong Research and Development wing that works on developing the range of the brand that consists of more than 60 products. The Byphasse range consists of hair care, body care and skin care products for men, women and children.

ABOUT HAIR SPRAY EXTRA-STRONG HOLD:

BYPHASSE extra-strong hold hairspray effectively fixes your hair without clumping or residues. Its fine texture ensures a perfect,http://makeupbop.com/, long-lasting, natural hold.

PRICE: I don’t know exactly how much it costs.

KEY INGREDIENTS:

HOW TO USE:

Hold the spray 30 centimeters from the hair. Apply the spray with short bursts of pressure at brief intervals. Don’t apply the product near or on your eyes or on irritated skin.

MY TAKE ON BYPHASSE LAQUE CHEVEUX HAIR SPRAY FIXATION HAIR FORTE:

This is a huge 400 mL bottle. It is quite heavy and not easy to carry around. This is an aerosol hair spray with nozzle that sprays a fine mist which first gives out alcoholic scent, but then settles as a mild, subtle smelling pleasant fragrance. This is an Ultra Strong Fixation Extra Forte hair spray, so I thought it would be sticky and weigh down on the hair, but no, this doesn’t feel sticky on hair, gives the most natural hold, and does not feel heavy on the hair. I do not do elaborate hairstyles. I just leave my hair open sometimes after curling it at the ends. After I spray it on the curls that I have made with my styler, it holds in the curls even while allowing movement of the hair. That’s a fantastic quality in a hair spray because there’s one spray that was used on my hair on my wedding day that was so annoyingly sticky. After using this hair spray, hair does not look stiff, is soft to touch, and I can comb through it without any resistance. Since this is a huge hair spray bottle,http://makeupbop.com/benefit-m-1, it lasts for a really long time. After using it for around 6 months, my hair spray still weighs as heavy as before. Since this is Ultra Strong, I am sure it will work well with elaborate hair styles too. Since this spray comes in an aerosol can, it is easier to give overall coverage after the hair style is set.

Some hair sprays do come with UV protection, but this does not have any such protection. Since Byphasse hair spray is not heavy or sticky on hair, it will work well in humid conditions and summers.

Whatever I do, my hair still looks like a bird’s nest . :(

PROS OF BYPHASSE LAQUE CHEVEUX HAIR SPRAY FIXATION HAIR FORTE:

• Byphasse hair spray holds finished styles in place without weighing down the hair.
• It is completely nonsticky,http://www.makeupbop.com/.
• Works well with simple hairdos as well as elaborate hairstyles (Extra Forte it says).
• Has a very mild and subtle non-bothering fragrance.
• Comes in a 400 mL huge bottle, will last for a really long time.
• Allows movement of hair without making hair stiff.
• There is no residue or clumping as claimed by the product and one can easily comb through hair after using it.

CONS OF BYPHASSE LAQUE CHEVEUX HAIR SPRAY FIXATION HAIR FORTE:

• Availability is an issue.
• It does not have any UV protection.

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN: Yes and I want to buy this curl-enhanching formula from the same brand.

IMBB STAR RATING: 4/5.

Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose Review Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose Review

Hi Beautifuls,

How are you doing today? I am back with another red from my stash, it’s a lip tint from the brand Flower! Flower is a well-known budget-friendly and high quality makeup brand which is owned by the gorgeous celebrity, Drew Barrymore who needs no introduction.  It is interesting to note that Drew Barrymore launched her products with Wal-Mart exclusively to make them easily accessible and affordable for every deserving beauty diva! I was curious about this brand ever since I heard about it and finally I opened my account with this dewy, rose, sheer up tint! I am not sure about the other products in this brand, but their sheer up tints seems to be tricky on our Asian skin, though their pigmentation and buildable coverage comes as a very pleasant surprise for me! Anyway, let’s check out Flower Sheer Up Tint.

Price:

$7.98 for 0.1 Oz (2.8 g), exclusive of taxes and shipping charges.

Packaging:

This subtle shimmery tomato red lip tint comes in a retractable plastic crayon packaging with safety cap and self-sharpening property as per their claim. It does have a very faint synthetic smell which is not bothering. It is absolutely travel friendly and average packaging overall.

My Experience with Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose:

Dewy Rose seems to be the most pigmented and wearable shade out of all limited five shades – Airy Orchid, Bare Blush, Lacy Laurel,http://www.makeupbop.com/, and Sheer Blossom respectively! Though their “Airy Orchid” shade also seems pigmented (I am planning to try it as well) unlike other pale shades which might be tricky on our Indian skin tones! Dewy Rose is a tangy tomato red shade with subtle hint of sparkles which are way mild on my lips. It immediately brightens up my skin tone without looking frosty or loud!

I am not into sheer lip colors yet and I was really skeptical about these sheer up tints initially; however their intense pigmentation changed my mind! It gives nearly 80% coverage on my lips in just 2-3 swipes which makes it ideal for pigmented lips though it might give medium coverage on deeply pigmented lips. It delivers translucent tomato red pigmentation in one single swipe which hides my lip patches up to a great extent without any frosty or shimmery look.  I can notice some shimmer, but once I swipe it on the lips,http://makeupbop.com/p/urban-decay-naked-3rd-eyeshadow-palette-315, they are barely noticeable! I think they are more than just lip tints, full fledged glossy lip colors probably!

The texture of the lip tint is another pleasant surprise, it’s soft and hydrating on my lips.  I would not call them intensely hydrating though. They easily glide on my lips without any tugging and pulling and deliver intense color payoff in minimum 1-2 strokes. It neither settles in my lip crevices nor bleeds like cheap lip tints. Even if they are highly pigmented, I still notice that they give lightweight translucent glossy finishing on the lips! However,http://makeupbop.com/benefit-m-1, I doubt if they work wonders on dry, chapped lips as they neither accentuate my dry lips, but they don’t treat my lips as well! I often wear it over lip balm which affects its pigmentation and staying power, but it still manages to survive 4-6 hours with that sheer glossy juicy sheen on my lips. It might bleed with multiple swipes over lip balm.

On an average, this dewy rose tint stays for good 6+ hours on my lips without fading or feathering with light snacks and water sips. It does need touch ups after heavy meals though. I am happy that it does not leave any stain behind other than subtle shimmer which gets easily rinsed off with water.  Overall, I am quite impressed with this sheer lip tint, being a typical lipstick gal! I want to try the other shades which might surprise me with their intense color payoff though they are not intensely hydrating like other balmy lip crayons in the market.

Let’s sum up pros and cons:

Pros of Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose:A soft, juicy, and intensely pigmented tomato red lip tint with subtle shimmer.It instantly adds glow to my face without looking loud or frosty.It is lightweight, glossy, and a balmy tint which gives enough coverage to hide light patches of my lips in just one stroke.It also gives nearly 90% coverage in 2-3 swipes without bleeding or feathering which makes it ideal for pigmented lips.No matter whether we swipe it once or multiple times, it gives juicy, translucent glossy finishing on lips which is way subtle and does not look cheap or frosty even with those sparkles.It does not settle in dry lip crevices, does not bleed.Does not irritate or dry out the lips.Stays for 6+ hours without fading or feathering with multiple light meals and water sips.Even if it fades after a heavy meal, it does not leave any stain or glitter behind, just subtle hint of shine.It gives well-defined and glossy lips in one go, I love the way it precisely lines my lips and delivers that flush of cherry tomato color on my lips.Pretty decent, retractable, and travel-friendly packaging.Cons of Flower Sheer Up Lip Tint – Dewy Rose:I do not feel it is intensely hydrating as it does not heal dry and chapped lips.It does transfer, especially with multiple swipes.Limited shade selection and most shades would not work well with Indian skin tones.Might bleed when applied over lip balm.Pricey.

Overall, I found it quite decent for daily wear as well as for occasional functions! It is an average lip tint which you can try for its buildable color payoff, finish, and lasting power, provided you find your perfect shade! I would love to get this dewy rose again and I am also getting that Airy Orchid!

Wet ‘n’ Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Review Wet ‘n’ Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio Review

Wet n Wild, E.L.F. and NYX are three of my most favorite brands of makeup ever. The quality is amazing at the prices they offer and there are so many different colors and products to choose from that you really get your money’s worth and then some.

After being highly impressed by its Megalast Lip Colors, I decided to try out Wet n Wild’s eyeshadows as well. I ordered a few of the Color Icon Eyeshadow Trios from nonpareilboutique.com. The palettes I would be reviewing today are: I Got Good Jeans and Silent Treatment. I haven’t had a chance to play around with the others, so a review on them would be coming a little later.

Product Description:

According to websites, Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio comes in three coordinating shades for the perfect eye look. Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette is designed for convenience application on brow bone, crease and eyelid. Highlight, define and accentuate your eyes with Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trios.

Price:

$3.00.

Available:

nonpareilboutique.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, drugstores abroad. Not available in India.

Shades:

Available in 12 combinations.

“I Got Good Jeans” consists of a metallic shimmery pale blue brow bone shade, a deep navy blue crease shade with blue shimmers, and a shimmery yellow gold eyelid shade.

Silent Treatment” includes a shimmery light peach browbone shade, a dark brown crease shade with gold shimmer, and a shimmery purple taupe eyelid shade.

What I Love About Wet ‘n’ Wild  Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio:

• Both these trios have amazing color combinations. I Got Good Jeans is fantastic for creating a dramatic eye and has one of my most favorite color combinations ever, dark blue and gold. Silent Treatment is more of a neutral palette and I use it the most for creating subtle everyday looks.
• Every color in both the palettes has a great pigmentation. The colors are so intense that even without an eyelid primer, they come off as vibrant as they look in the pan.
• Just a single swipe with either a finger or a brush is needed to get the color,http://makeupbop.com/benefit-m-1.
• The colors are marked as “eyelid”, “crease” and “browbone”. Even a beginner can follow this taking out guesswork from the equation.
• Even though colors are marked as to where to use, there’s no limit in the number of ways both of these palettes can be used. Each color is beautiful on its own as well as multiple looks can be achieved using a combination of the shadows. The same palette can be used for both a neutral look as well as a dramatic one.
• The shadows are extremely smooth in texture and blend really well.
• I have not experienced any sort of fall out with any of the 6 colors in these 2 palettes.
• Even without a primer, these colors last all day without fading at all.
• Comes off very easily with a makeup remover.
• The shadows do not crease on me even without a primer.
• The palettes come with a small angled fluffy brush as well as a sponge tip applicator. These are not the best of tools but I do use them some times when I am in a hurry.
• Each palette costs just $3 and given that there are 3 very generous-sized shadows, it’s a very good deal.
• Both the trios have a really deep color that can be used as an eyeliner.
• Given that there are a lot of good eyeshadow palettes from a lot of brands, what makes the Wet n Wild palettes different and better to me than most other trios is the combination of colors each comes with.
o I Got Good Jeans has the most beautiful dark blue color that I have ever seen. It is intensely pigmented and pairing it with a gold color really is a combination I have not seen in many palettes in the market. The gold color is also very wearable and looks amazing on its own as an eyelid color,http://makeupbop.com/urban-decay-m-6. The light blue color that has been marked as a browbone highlighter can be used as an overall lid color and will look just amazing. I am not a huge fan of blue shadows but both the light and dark shades of blue are totally wearable are do not look frosty at all.
o Silent Treatment is one of the best neutral palettes I own. The crease color is a shade that I have never ever seen before. It is a very deep chocolate shade with a beautiful gold shimmer and it’s this shimmer that differentiates this color from the browns I have seen before. Even the taupe color is a very unique shade that you wont find in many palette or in many brands. A wonderful neutral smokey eye can be achieved with this palette.
• Both these palettes will look good on Indian skintones. Even the shimmer in the shades are totally wearable and not over the top at all. I wish Silent Treatment had one matte shade but it’s not that big a deal. The shimmer is understated if you don’t overdo the taupe shade.
• I also like their random names quite a bit.
• Packaging, for the price,http://makeupbop.com/p/urban-decay-naked-2-eyeshadow-palette-319, is okay too. Neither great nor horrible.

What I Don’t Like about Wet ‘n’ Wild  Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio:

• There’s absolutely nothing that I don’t love about these 2 palettes, maybe a mirror would have been a good addition to the palette, but I really don’t mind not having one.
• Not available in India. Can be only bought online.

(A very neutral smokey eye created in just a couple of minutes using the Silent Treatment Palette. Used the brow bone color all over the lid and then used the deep brown crease shade to smoke the whole look. The same lid color has been used as a brow highlight. I did not use the eyelid taupe color as I wanted to do something really really simple today).

Rating:

5 stars.

I can’t find any faults with these trios. At such prices, these are amazing. I really recommend getting these trios if you can. Every combination is unique and so many looks can be created from one palette. The colors are smooth, pigmented, long lasting and just gorgeous. I highly recommend it to everyone and I myself will be getting as many as I can. At these prices, you really cannot go wrong with these wonderful trios. I will even go as far as saying that these shadows are probably the smoothest and most beautiful eyeshadows I own, even better than NYX.

MAC Social Light Lipglass Review, Swatch, FOTD MAC Social Light Lipglass Review, Swatch, FOTD


Claims : A unique lipgloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It’s pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.

MAC Social Light is a part of MAC Me Over Collection. I am not sure when is it going to launch in India. I have to post a story of MAC Autumn Winter trends in coming days. The products are part of those trends. I don’t have all the products, just 3-4 samples . I’d review them for you guys and you may check if you can get hold of the stuff.

Social Light is a shimmery peachy-pink beige gold gloss. It is a semi sheer gloss with lots of gold shimmers in it. Like all MAC lipglasses it has vanilla fragrance. Because of its sheer nature it stays on me for around 2-2 1/2 hours. It is quite sticky but it does not settle in fine line of lips. It is best worn as layering gloss on top of a lipstick or a lip liner.Bbut on its own as well, it is quite gorgeous shade. The golden shimmers kinda give the illusion of fuller lips. On me, it looks a high shine beige gloss. I personally liked wearing it with ethnic outfits more. And the best thing, the shimmers don’t travel around your lips. When the gloss fades , it almost fades completely. May not be the best for those with pigmented lips.

This gloss speaks festivals for me,http://makeupbop.com/benefit-m-1.

Swatch : 

And this is how it looks on me.
