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.

         Nivea Lip Care Fruity Shine : 4.8 gm
Clearly winner is Nivea Lip Care Fruity Shine

Packaging: Both has cute packaging. but the bullet of Maybelline New York Baby Lips Electro doesn't close. so a part of balm remains open in the upper portion. so, there is a great chance of damage of that particular part. on the other hand the bullet of  Nivea Lip Care Fruity Shine has no such issue. so, packaging wise Nivea Lip Care Fruity Shine is better



Claims:

Smell: Maybelline New York Baby Lips Electro: It has yummy fruity smell. every time I use it I kindda feel chewing it instead of using it.

Biotique Bio Musk Root Fresh Growth Nourishing Treatment


hi!!! Today I will be reviewing about the product Biotique Bio Musk Root Fresh Growth Nourishing Treatment.



Price: 210 rupees

Size: 230 gm

packaging: it comes with the typical packaging. It comes with a white plastic jar and there is kind of a aluminum foil  to protect the product. you have to carefully open the jar.

Ingredients: Mulethi root, Amla fruit, behda fruit, harar fruit, jaiphal seeds, bael phal, jatamanshi root, bhringraj plant kikar gond, neem bank, purified water.

claims:
1. ayurvadic hair and scalp rejuvenating pack.
2. enriched with musk root and beal extracts to reduce inflammation and restore rich natural color to the hair.
3. enrich with liquorice, nutmug, jatamansi and neem  to detoxify the scalp, encourage blood flow and rejuvenate the scalp, strengthening the hair and prompting growth.
4. Natural hair and scalp treatment nourishes the scalp and hair follicles , encouraging healthy and abandoned hair growth and preventing hair loss and premature greying



my experience: I always have a short heart for ayurvadic products. They are chemical free and harmless for skin. When I opened the bottle a thick black element appeared. Its not so good looking thing. But most of the herbal products are like that. Its kind of a thick paste of many ingredients. So, I mixed it with egg and yogurt and mehendi and I have applied it. I already have mentioned it in "do your own" section. Here
 It does not do wanders like it immediately stopped hair fall or made hair super soft. but it is a herbal product. you have to keep patience for its result. if you keep applying it regularly you will see the result. it will improve the quality of hair and your hair become soft and shiny.

PROS:
1. It is a herbal product.  Its chemical free.
2. most of the ingredients are good for hair
3.  It improves the quality of hair
CONS:
1. packaging was its very unattractive
2. doesn't do wonder. have to be patient.

Ratings: 6/10.

My recommendation: Yes...you can try it. it is herbal and  it is good for hair. It improves the quality of hair. but it takes time to work. if you do hair spa with it every month it will definitely make your hair better. so it is worth a try
