Natio blush and bronze Palette, Sunkissed

hi guys long time no see. i was busy moving from one city to another.so i couldn't post for a while.
today i'l be reviewing on Natio blush and bronze Palette, Sunkissed. now those who didn't hear about Natio brand for them let me give a short introduction. it is actually a Australian based company and it is one of the leading cosmetics brand in Australia. Recently Nykaa and Amazon both are selling their products in india. Products are bit pricey as far as i think. but there was a sell going on and i saw this particular bronze palette and  grabbed it. As far as i have checked sell is still going on at amazon.




price: 1200 rupees( but i got at 250 rupees only....yayyyyy!!!)

size: 12gm

Ingredients:

shades: it come with two shades.   1. Sunkissed  and 2. Rossy glow



packing: It comes in a lovely black plastic box with a mirror in it. overall its very classy and not heavy at all. you can easily carry it into your purse and use it for fixing your makeup.




texture: its has powdery texture with little bit simmer in it. highlighter and two blushers have simmer but two bronzer doesn't have any shimmery particles in it.





My experience: first of all i was little bit anxious about the product. Very few products actually acted as a bronzer in my skin. i have a dark complexion. so, i have to choose very carefully when it comes to blusher bronzer highlighter. because what gives a stable finish to fair to medium skin doesn't work on me. but when i opened the product i actually loved it for its classy appearance. it has 1 highlighter, 2 blushers and 2 brozers. highlighter didn't suit me well. i think it'l suit cool tones or fair to medium tone. it definitely has simmers. it enlarged my pores and gave me a artificial finish. but i loved their blushes. 2 blushers are of pinky coral tone. now i have used lots of blushes. as far as i got to understand Orange color or deep coral colors suit me very well. pink is a big no for my complexion. but this two pinkish color have worked wonder to my skin. it gave me a very stable glow. blushes were not that visible but it gave me  a very soft glow to the skin.it has very mild simmer in the blushes. i loved two blushes truly. now 2 brozers are of golden color. it doesn't have simmer but for me it doesn't act as my bronzing component. it acts as a highlighter for me as i have warm undertone and its too light to be a bronzer for dusky skintone. overall i liked the product.



PROS:
1. Classy Packaging
2. has a mirror in it
3. two blushes will work wonder even for dusky skintone
4. if you have fair skin you will love it

CONS:
1. they could have reduce the presence of simmer
2. highlighter is no good for warm dusky skin tone
3. don't go over board with blushes otherwise it will enhance your pores.

Rating: 7.5/10



My recommendation: fair ladies should grab it and sale is still going on. so 250 is suitable price for this product. it will blow their mind. dusky beauties should go for Rosy glow. i think that palette has darker and suitable shades for dusky beauties. if they want they can go for sun kissed also. just don't get your hopes too high.

ADS WATERPROOF EYELINER

hi  guyz, today i am going to review ADS Waterproof eyeliner. i have purchased it from snapdeal.
com. at first i was bit skeptical about it. but my sister gave a positive review about it. so finally i tried it and i really got impressed. It is the cheapmost eyeliner available in the market. but its result is impressive compared to its price. thats why i am trying to share my experience here. lets start....



price: 50/ rupees(9ml approx)

Ingredient list:


packaging: it comes in a beautiful yellow plastic container. it looks more like a mascara. i have seen very few products in such a cheap price with such an attractive packaging.




Texture: It is watery and takes some time to dry off



my experience: 1st when i opened the box i got amazed after watching the liner, the packaging is so cute. it has long wand. so for the beginner this long wand handling thing will be bit difficult. after that if you apply it within a minute it will dry off and then you will get a totally smudge proof  liner. its not water proof as claimed but it is totally smudge proof. it gives nice dark black line. i had used lakme instaliner. so when i compared it with lakme insta liner i found ADS eyeliner more advantageous than lakme insta liner.
1) lakme insta liner takes some time to dry off. ADS dries off quickly than lakme insta liner.
2) lakme insta liner is smudge proof. but if you rub with bit of force it comes off. but ADS liner doesn't come off easily. that was very surprising for me.
ADS liner stays 5-6 hours in my eyes and it stared to get fade. i am totally satisfied with it. If you are beginner and looking for a cheap eyeliner you can definitely go for it. but as ADS is street makeup product if you have very sensitive eyes stay away from it. though i have sensitive eyes but i felt no irritation or any negative remarks of my knowledge.



PROS:
1) super cheap
2) it z smudge proof and it doesn't come off easily
3) more advantageous than Lakme insta liner

CONS:
1) long wand. too difficult to control.
2) its not waterproof

Rating:8/10

My Recommendation: Yes... its super cheap and handy. loved it.

kiss Beauty Highlighter & Contour Palette (4 shades)

hi guys today i am gonna review on kiss beauty highlighter and contour palette. now its a good thing that in India some contouring and highlighting palettes are available. In you tube if you follow channels of makeup experts you will see most of the contouring palettes are from western Brands. if you go through amazon.com then you will find there are many contouring pallets in 2-3 dollars. Luckily Indian cosmetics Market realized  the importance of contouring and strobing and felt the urges to introduce contouring pallets in the market. still big brands of India has no such pallets. less known brands like ADS and Kiss beauty have taken the initiative to introduce some palettes in the market.


price:235( from amazon.in)

Size: 12g



Ingredients:Castor oil,carnuaba wax, propylene wax, lanolin oil, white mineral oil, ozokerite wax, besewax, Propyl paraben, methyl paraben, vitamin E, C-47-051




packaging: It comes in a plastic box. In the box there are four palates. it will be convenient for  travel as it is small and very lees weight.


Texture: It has creamy texture. it easily blends. But if you apply too much you will look cakey. but with help of damp sponge you can over come it.




My Experience: I first saw lots of reviews in amazon about the 8 shade palette of kiss beauty.. then i came across many reviews in youtube channel. but i didn't want to spend a lot of money in highlight and contour palette because most of the color of concealer or contour disappoints me. they usually don't match my skin tone and i end up looking like a ghost. so after lot of hesitation i decided to go for its mini version with 4 shades. to my surprise the colors are perfect for dusky skin tone beauties. so obviously it will suit to fair skin tone beauties too. 1 st shade will be perfect as a highlighter for dark skin tone. then  2nd shade will be perfect as a color corrector as it is orange color. 3rd shade is perfect match to my skin tone.Last shade is dark brown which is ideal for contouring for dark skin tone girls.it blends very easily. as it is cream based product its texture is creamy. it doesn't leave any cast into your skin. there is a color corrector which is a plus point of this palette. if your skin tone matches you will find your concealer too from this palette. If you are in a search for contouring and highlighting pallet this can end your search. only let down thing is its fragrance. It has strong weird smell which is very annoying. but After sometime it will disappear.

PROS:
1. Ideal for Highlighter & Contouring
2. blends easily
3. creamy texture
4. It can work as concealer too.

CONS:
1. weird smell.
2. Too much application can result cakeyness

Ratings: 8/10

My Recommendation: Hell yaa!!! It is only budget contouring pallet available in the market. if you are a beginner go for it.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH IBHEJO.COM

hi everyone! today I'll be sharing about a new online site experience. This article will be helpful specially for those who wants to use cosmetics from USA like MAKEUP FOREVER ,NYX,MILANI, Anastasia beverly hills etc. Now those people who don't live in metro city usually those high end brands are not available in there. For them IBHEJO.COM can be a perfect option. now flipkart,amazon,snapdeal,nykaa purplle.com,ebay all those are offering a good deal of foreign brands. but still some famous cosmetics are not available in that particular site for example L.A girl pro HD concealer(i mean to say different shades are not available). After contouring and highlighting has introduced this particular product has been recommended hugely by many artists/beauty experts, youtubers, vloggers. now when i started to search for this particular concealer it wasn't available in nowhere. then i came across IBHEJO.COM. 1st i was skeptical as they have no Cash on delivery option. then i researched about this site,went to many youtubes and there was one youtubber who boldly support this site and expressed her good experience while buying real technique brushes. other sites which i came across need credit cards for buying foreign cosmetics brands which i don't have. After lot of hesitation i placed an order for  L.A girl pro HD concealer and it costs me around 400 bucks and i paid through net banking. i had to upload my photo and PANCARD copy for some security and import/export policy purpose. there was tracking number available after 3-4 days of my payment and for 7 days or more it was showing that delivery was still stuck in USA custom side. after 15 or more days i got to know that delivery has entered in india. after entering in india within 2 days i got my delivery and packaging was good and satisfactory. though i didn't have to return the product so can't say how long it will take to return and refund. so this part is still unknown to me. but as far as i can say it is trusted site and it delivers most of the cities in India. Products are genuine and it comes from USA itself. There is no additional/hidden price which will be included with the main price. It will be just delivery cost+ product price. It is better if you buy in some special occasions like V-day.Mothers' day etc. you will get additional discounts.Now i ordered L.A girl pro HD concealer in the shade of DARK COCA. this particular shade was not available in any sites of India. now  IBHEJO.COM has collaboration with AMAZON.IN. but i have seen they sell products in double price in amazon site compared to what they sell in their individual site. so its better to get it from  IBHEJO.COM itself. now i am explaining how to shop from there.

1. 1st go to www.ibhejo.com. you have to log in there. you can do it using facebook, gmail , twitter account.


2. then you will go to their main page


3. Choose the option in which section you want to shop. Lets say you choose "Beauty" in "Women" sub category.


4. Say if you choose" Face" and in Face category you have chosen "foundation" section.


5. Now from that section you will choose your desired cosmetic


6. After choosing the product go to "ADD TO CART" option. After adding it to the cart if there is any offer available enter the Coupon Code. then the price will be deducted.


7. Enter your address and payment option.


8. After payment you will get a confirmation mail and you have to upload your photo and any valid I-Card.


then After day you will get tracking number and details of the delivery time and place.

PROS of this site:
1. it sells genuine products
2. Credit cards are not mandatory
3. trusted site
4. doesn't delay up to a month(in my case)

CONS of this site:
1. COD option is not there
2. compared to other site the delivery will be delayed

My Recommendation: YES!! definitely. There are lots of brands which are not available in Indian E-COMMERCE site. so you can read reviews and depending on that go for those products which are not available in Indian shopping sites. This review is not sponsored. by anyone. it is totally depending on my own experience. keeping shopping.... stay fresh and be a fashionista.

K-Veda Hasham Professional Eyeliner, Green

hi guyz,i am here again to write a review on K-Veda Hasham Professional Eyeliner. now first of all K-veda is not that popular brand. i have done some research on this particular brand and i found out that K-veda are the founders of SURMA and pretty old companies which are famous for their eyeliner. now there is another eyeliner from Pakistani brand Hashmi Kajal which is popular because vidya balan has used this product. i don't think K-veda has to do anything with Hashmi Kajal brand. Its a Indian brand. Now main thing is this particular liner from this brand has been discontinued. they have relaunched this product under the name of   " K-Veda Eyeyurvedic Kohl Liner Trends". i haven't purchased new kohl liner. i am only reviewing on this discontinued product. By reading this you can make a guess about the product and its texture and decide whether to go for the new product or not.


Price: 99 rupees

Size: 1.2g

Packaging: It comes with a pencil and a glass type of cap. Not very fancy but overall Ok Ok packaging.

Ingredients: Not mentioned



Texture: Texture is Creamy. Its not hard. so, it won't hurt eyes. that's a good point.

Pigmentation: Its pretty pigmented. it has glitter in it. not chalky glitters but smooth glitters. Its not very dark green like lakme eyeconic kajal but it neither light green. It is more like natural green with bit of a dark shade within it.


Claims: No smudge formula and free of chemicals

Smudge proof and Water Proof: and Water Proof:  No, its neither Smudge proof nor Water Proof.




My Experience: I ordered it with no hope as there was no review available from online site or any other blogging site. i bought lakme eyeconic kajal in green shade with the hope that it will give a pleasant green color which will be suitable for dark skin toned person. but  lakme eyeconic kajal was too dark that it almost feels like black one. you have to minutely notice it. so, with a broken heart i started to search for a kajal which will be within a budget and will give a good pigmented green shade. i didn't want a light green shade or a dark green shade. when it came and i opened the packed and swatched it on my plum. i was so surprised. it is the exact color that i wanted for a long time. Its pigmentation is good. but you have to swipe it 2-3 times for the desired color. it has glittery finish which is ok for me. it won't look absurd on you. i have applied it on my lash line. my eyes didn't get watery or i didn't feel any irritation on my eyes. Though ingredient list is not mentioned. so for safety apply it only onto your eyelids. only drawback is that you have to sharpen the pencil and if you are not careful most of the product can get wasted. I hope in the new version they have overcame this drawback.Otherwise its a good liner with shimmery finish and little bit dark green shade which is perfect for dark as well as fair skin tone..

PROS:
1. you can easily carry it anywhere
2. It has shimmery finish
3. Its creamy
4. It has beautiful green shade

CONS:
1. no ingredient list is there
2. claims are not true
3. when you sharp it to get more product you  have to be careful so that lead doesn't break

Rating: 6/10.

My recommendation: I liked the color though it doesn't give you matte finish. you can try once and i think you will like the color. it is a product which is under budget. new launched product are of 145 rupees. i hope new launched products have overcame their drawbacks and they have introduced some good formula.If any of you guyz try new launched product please let me know the experience.

Music Flower Long lasting Gel Eye Liner

hi guys!!! today I am reviewing Music Flower Long Wear Gel Eyeliner. if you have limited budget and can't buy widely popular Maybelline lasting Drama Gel Eye liner then you can definitely go it instead of Maybelline gel eyeliner.



Price: 999 but in every shopping site it available on discount( I got mine in 230/from flipkart Here )

Size: 5 gm

Packaging: Packaging is typical like other gel eyeliner. it comes in a jar. but it consists of two brush. one is perfect for eye brow shaping and another is good for drawing eyeliner.



Ingredients: Demithicone, ozokerite,hydrogenated,polyisobutene, BHA, propylparaben,iron oxides

Texture: It has soft creamy texture which glides easily into eyelids.



Pigmentation: Its not very much dark intense. but if you want dark intense look swipe more than once and you will get your desired look.



Smudge proof and Water Proof: Yes!!!! This is the main reason why people should go for it.



My Experience: In Summer countries like India people always seek for smudge prof and water proof eyeliner. But in the market most of the smudge proof and water proof eyeliners are bit expensive. so, This eyeliner can be a dupe for other expensive eyeliners which is a smudge prof and water proof . Its a Korean brand.Plus point of this eyeliner is it has two type of gel eyeliner. one  is black and another is brown. there are two type of brushes are also there. black gel eye liner is perfect. it glides into the eyelids and stays for a very long time. first let  it dry. then you will see that it doesn't smudges and its waterproof.I didn't test for whole day. but I did wear it for 4-5 hours and it stayed perfectly. now come to the brown gel eyeliner, one can easily use it to shape eyebrow. the brown gel color is deep brown color which will easily go with the brow color. with the help of brush and mascara applicator it will be very easy to draw perfect eyebrows. Now when you will try to remove the gel eyeliner you can face some problem. it won't come off easily. use some olive oil and it will come off easily.



PROS:
1. you can easily carry it anywhere
2. smudge proof  and waterproof
3. Texture is creamy
4. eyebrow can be done by brown gel eyeliner.
CONS:
1. it has chemicals
2. doesn't come off easily
3. not very intense black

Rating: 8.5/10

My recommendation: I liked the gel eyeliner. In summer it will be very useful. it has twin in one effect. you can use it as eyeliner also shape your eyebrows perfectly. But for every gel eyeliner you have to be careful. those dries out quickly. Otherwise It is worth a try. if you want a  budget friendly water proof and  smudge proof eyeliner this can be the right choice for you.
