Product of the Month : October

Long Time No See...Well blame my busy schedule.Taking care of an infant is no joke guys seriously. But I am happy that I finally got sometime to give love to my blog.
I am here today with my current favorite product. My savior. Its a tiny lipstick. Well you might have already guessed that I am always out of time and when in a hurry to head out of the house, this one product changes my look. Its Nyx Round Lipstick in LOUISIANA.

PACKAGING, PRICE and AVAILABILITY


  • It has quite a decent packaging.
  • It looks chic and wont take a lot of space while organizing.
  • The transparent bottom ,where you can actually see the shade, is something I love. Cause if you are a lipstick stalker like me then its easy for you to chose what color you need from your huge collection.
  • These lipsticks are available locally for RM 19 at Sephora. But there are websites which sell them for much cheap prices.
SWATCH TIME

Its a creamy Pink shade, that brightens up my look instantly. I can go without any makeup and just this lipcolor.

MY VERDICT
  • Nyx round lipsticks have a wide range of colors that you can choose from. Nudes to Pinks to Reds. 
  • It is very creamy. So, it glides on smoothly on the lips. 
  • The texture is quite moisturising. But still always apply a lip balm before applying any lip product.
  • Great pigmentation. It gives an opaque finish, even for lighter shades.
  • Its quite affordable and easily available at store and online.
  • It has got a huge literally hundreds of shades which is a wow factor.

Ok now coming to the post. Diwali is round the corner and I am excited coz its diwali, its my baby's first diwali and my hubby is flying to India to celebrate with us :) Yeahhhhhh






Today's look is a wearable and easy Diwali look. Diwali is a festival of lights, so this look is sparkly and glamorous.For this look I used my MUA Heaven and Earth Palette.


So lets get started,

  • Start the look by priming your eyelids. I used Nyx Eyeshadow base in Skin Tone (See review here )
  • Then apply a Bronze base. I used Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Bronze.
  • Now take a GOLDEN shade and apply it to the inner one third of the eye lid. I used shade 3 from my Heaven and Earth Palette.
  • Next take a Bronze powder eyeshadow and apply it onto the rest of the eyelid. I used shade 1 from my Heaven and Earth Palette. 
  • Take a crease brush and grab some DARK BRONZE( if you dont want much bling can go for DARK BROWN shade) and apply it to the outer V blending it along the crease. I used shade 2 from my Heaven and Earth Palette.
  • Now apply the same DARK BRONZE/ DARK BROWN shade and apply it to the outer half of the lower lash line.
  • For the inner corner of the eyelid take a ROSE GOLD shade(or you can even take any highlight shade). I used shade 4 from my Heaven and Earth Palette.
  • Fill the inner half of lower lash line with the same ROSE GOLD shade.
  • Now highlight the browbone. I used shade 5 from my Heaven and Earth Palette.
  • Line the upper lash line with a BLACK liner. I used Silkygirl Precision Sharp Liquid eyeliner (See review here)
  • Apply coats of mascara and your eyes and done.
  • Team this look with Peach Blush and Bright Lipstick. For lips I am using Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in HOT HOT HOT

MUA The Artiste Collection Palette : Swatches and Review

hey beauties...I am a fan of MUA eyeshadows. I have been using MUA Glamour Nights Palette from quite a long time now and I fall for it more n more. See my review here
Recently I hauled a few items from Jabong.com and in that I bought the Artiste Collection Palette from MUA.

The palette is sleek and sturdy, identical to the rest of MUA palettes, except the pans are rectangular. The eye shadows are engraved with a marble effect

The back of the palette shows the eyeshadows and face products with names. As a beauty blogger I am a fan of products with names. Its so much easy to refer

This "Multi-Use Palette" comes with six marbled eye shadows, two blushers, a highlighter and a bronzer
SWATCH TIME
EYESHADOW

PISTACHIO : is a lovely light aqua shade.It has a frosty finish and the pigmentation is good with a primer. This looks absolutely stunning in the inner corners of the eye.
MOCHA is my favorite highlighter shade for browbone/inner corner. I see it as an ideal entire lid shade as well.
ICE is a pretty Icy blue shade.Buttery soft Frosty finish
GRAPE is a lovely well Grape shade (Dark Purple) with a shiny effect.

EYESHADOW

CHOCOLATE  is a lovely peachy brown shade.It has a frosty finish and the pigmentation is not as dark as it looks in the pan
COOKIE is the only Matte Brown shade which I see using to define the crease


PINK SPARKLE is almost matte lovely Pink blusher
while PRIMROSE is more on to Peach side.
BRONZED is an awesome contour shade
SHIMMER KISS is a lovely highlight that gives a natural glow

FIRST IMPRESSION
  • Nice sleek travel friendly packaging.
  • Has a complete collection of eyeshadow, blusher, bronzer and highlighter. Again great for travel
  • Very versatile shades. Can be used to create night look, natural look as well as colorful look
  • Good pigmentation and texture

hey beauties...I always enjoy doing makeup tutorials. But due to my packed mom schedule I am not getting enough time for this. But last weekend my darling bumble bee was kind enough and let me do this makeup look for you guys.
This look is a pretty Pink Plum look with bold lips.

  • Now take a Burgundy/Plum shade and apply it in the outer V and blend it along the crease. 
 
  •  Next take a Pink shade and apply it to the entire eye lid.Blend it well with the Burgundy/Plum shade.
  • Apply this same Burgundy/Plum shade on the outer half of the lower lash line.
  • For this look skip a liner in the water line.
  • Line your upper lash line and apply few coats of mascara to finish the eye look.
  • For Lips, I am wearing Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in BLUSH. See review here.
