Something you will like for sure ~ Purplle.com ~ Website Review

Its a good year for beauty enthusiasts in India. With so many websites coming and making our shopping so fun!! Clickety click! Punch in details and wait for maximum 5 days ~ Voila!! You have your goodies delivered at your place. Fun no!!
Its like letting a kid run away with a shopping cart inside a shopping store :D
So, a few days back I came through this website Purplle.com , first thing that caught my attention? well it was the name itself..Purplle.. ;) I <3 Purple the same way some girls like Pink :)


Purplle.com Is relatively a new e-commerce website having its base set up in Mumbai.
Its new but it has strong potential. With luxury brands being at its core, its a boon for those who do not have an easy peasy access to such .


For fragrance lovers ~ You gotta visit this website soon, Its celebrating its Scentuality week , Ahmazinnn discounts on all kinds of brands for this week. I am myself eyeing for a goodie ;)

For Beauty lovers ~ Many many things , regular n not so regular brands with nice discounts.

I had placed my order on 23rd , late evening and received it today. Due to a teeny tiny glitch it got delayed for a day else It would have reached me in 3 days flat!! well now also it has reached me in 5 days :) so good job I must say.


I ordered Revlon eyeshadow palete ~ Rich Temptation ~ INR 695.

I love their Idea of celebrating a different thing each week ~ Like It was men's grooming stuff last week and Scentuality this week,,, let us see whats in surprise for us in the coming weeks.

I would love if they introduce more Makeup related brands in the coming time :) It would be like a cherry on the cake then.





My Recommendation : Yes please !! Especially do check it out before this week ends, awesome discounts on  Scents going on.

Website link : Purplle.com
Will be reviewing the palette in detail soon, else it is superb!! Just the way I like my makeup to be ;)

Thanks

Namita

I was given a discount coupon to shop for review purpose :) My opinions still remains intact.
p.s. 


I love their customer care service :) Very professional yet super friendly, specially mentioned for Ridhi Sharma :)

Another NOTD :) Any Coral lovers here? ...

Its been ages since I blogged..Did anyone miss me ;)
The reason is I am having my House Exams going on which gives me little time to do anything :)
My exams will be over by 19th but then I kinda missed the lil chit chats I have with all of you :)
Expect few more posts today,, :D no matter how difficult tommorow's exam is m gonna post atleast 3 posts today ;)

I bought this shade months back but never posted about it because at that time my camera was playing games with me ;) also another reason for this post is that I managed to grow my nails to a decent length a week back, so these pics were clicked the past week. Now my nails are back to being short :) this is the way I like them to be .I can't maintain long nails plus I don't like them too.

Its a beautiful coral shade that looks different under different lights. It really shines like it has some 3D effect in it :)
It is quite sheer so some 3 coats have been applied by me on my nails in these pics.




So, do you like this ?

Thanks

Revlon Photoready Foundation ~ Review, pictures and swatches

Revlon is my favorite drug store makeup brand , well most of you must be knowing this, but this is the first time I am slightly disappointed, like how I am disappointed with the season 7 of HIMYM , love it but still made me wee bit sad :\

I bought this foundation a few weeks back and have been using it on and off since then ..

Revlon Photoready Foundation ~ Review, pictures and swatches

This is what I have to say about this.

You see something in person and then you see the same thing in a picture,,most of the times we get attracted to things which we get to see in person more than when we see it in a picture,, BUT !! with me its drastically opposite this time..

Revlon Photoready Foundation ~ Review, pictures and swatches

When I wear this foundation and see myself in mirror I find it not worthy of the 850 bucks I paid for it,, its kinda patchy looking and is hard to blend with fingers. But when you see yourself in a picture of yours with this foundation on your face you are going to love it..
I guess that is why it is called a Photoready foundation.

The shade I got is 003 Shell Coquillage and it matches my skin tone pretty well. The only thing is like,, it needs a good blending.

There is some sheen in this foundation which looks very very pretty even in day light. Its not super shimmery , it just makes my skin glow beautifully.

It is not for dry skin girls , it will make their skin look patchy, I have dry cheeks these days and even after applying a good moisturizer on to it and then wearing this foundation the dry patches were quite prominent and you never expect this from such a raved foundation.

The consistency of this foundation is slightly runny and I guess it will work best with a stippling brush.
The packaging of this product is very good, I like the pump it has, one pump is enough for your face.
It also has SPF 20 and that is borderline good for flash photography.



I like how it is not a full coverage foundation,,I feel plasticky with full coverage foundations.

Overall this is a foundation which will make your skin look perfect , all dewy and glowing in pictures,, it might make your skin look blotchy in person,,I guess its all due  to its consistency,,,

The things good ~

1. Medium coverage foundation,,yes its a good thing for me.

2. I like how it makes my skin look dewy and not sparkly!!

3. It photographs beautifully

4. Has SPF 20

5. The bottle is very handy and travel friendly

6. A pump is enough for one time application


The Things not so good ~

1. Looks blotchy when you see yourself in mirror

2. Not suitable for dry skin girls

3. Just 3 shades ~ :\

4. Hard to blend,,you need a good brush to blend it, say a stippling brush.


Price : 850 INR

Quantity : 30 ml or 1 FL. Oz.


Recommendation : Yes if you are loved by paparazzi  ;) , no If you think It can be you daily foundation. Dry skin people may find it a bit problematic.

Thanks

Best Buy January ~ Revlon Photo Ready Foundation ~ and a free gift :)

I shopped quite allot in January and at the end of it I felt like crap !! I bought things that I am going to use seldom and the worst part of it being that they were pricey. Now I am on hold on shopping for makeup and m concentrating more on accessories. (yes !! I need them.. I swear !! )

But then,  all I have been doing since a good 6-8 months was finding a good foundation for parties and likes.
Since I am going to attend a very special party in a couple of days all I wanted was a good foundation :) . I wanted to see my skin looking good but yes not too much of coverage,, in a full coverage foundation I don't find me looking like me ;) ,, so this is what I bought.. Revlon Photo ready foundation .

Best Buy January ~ Revlon Photo Ready Foundation ~ and a free gift~~~ :)

Along with it I bought a colorburst lipstick too,, its price has increased : \

So I was at the counter and the lady said ma'am the price of the lipstick has increased and I was like acha !! , but since it is not much of a price rise so I bought it, it's a different story how I have managed  to pick similar shade again.(I now have 3 similar looking shades and I am not much happy with it). :p

Best Buy January ~ Revlon Photo Ready Foundation ~ and a free gift~~~ :)


But yes, I got something free too.. Its a pretty floral pouch by Revlon :) :)
I don't knw what sort of offer it came with, but I got it with these two products I got.

It has one huge zipped compartment, a Velcro flap compartment and a open pocket on the back side.
I like the pattern it has,,and yes purple is my favorite color since I was like 2 or something.. :D
quality is nice and the best part is that its too roomy !! good for girls like us ;)

I will review the foundation in some time, maybe 2-3 weeks or so,,so far m loving it :) I don't look too much dolled up wearing this and also I can blend it with my fingers easily.

So, what was your best buy in January :) :)
take good care of yourself everyone :) <3

Thanks

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

What Lakme has to say about this 

The ultimate in definition and separation. This must have mascara delivers stunningly defined eyes. The unique brush separates and curls each lash and coats it from root to tip without ever clumping. Smudge-proof, tear proof and easily removable.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

I was using the Maybelline Colossal Mascara for around 2 years and was actually not very happy with the results as time passed by. Initially it was ok, but as I used it more and more I felt it was not actually what I want for my lashes. It clumped and did not make my lashes curl, but yes full points for making the false volume effect.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

So, when I thought of buying a new one, I was all game for the Bourjois one but somehow I went and bought the Lakme Lash Artist and I must say its one product that actually makes your lashes curl.
I had a Lakme Mascara before the Maybelline one but I don't think so it was the Lash Artist, it was something else and gave satisfactory results to me. But then the Maybelline colossal range came up and I went and bought that one.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures


The positive points of the Lakme Lash Artist are :

~ It fans out my lashes beautifully.
~ No clumping on the lashes
~ I like the wand applicator, the brush is good and separates the lashes quite nicely.
~ Packaging is sturdy
~ Odor free, I dislike cosmetics with any kind of smell.
~ Gives length to the lashes
~ Easy to remove too.

The negative points of the Lakme Lash Artist :

~ Non-attractive but I can live with that ;)
~ You have to retouch the mascara after 3-4 hours.
~ No false volume effect.
~ No composition list anywhere. this freaks me out sometime,,with so much being written about cosmetics and their unhealthy composition in the newspaper these days.

Nothing major of a con actually except the missing composition list,,,, else its good value for money .

Price : 225 INR

Net volume : 6 ml

Shelf life : 2 years

Here is how it looks on my eyes.
sorry for the not so clear pictures , my camera is not working at the moment.

To describe the shade I would say that It is a soft pastel lilac shade that requires 2-3 coats for the color to show up nicely.

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick ~ 075 Peach ~ Photos, Review and Swatches

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick ~ 075 Peach ~ Photos, Review and Swatches

How much I love this lipstick is only known by my maa ,, whether I have to go n meet someone casually or to attend a wedding my hand always reach out for this little charming baby ,, all despite of my maa tellin me to use other shades. I LOVE my peach like anything, basically I like everything peach.
This one was the first shade I had picked up from this range and it has been my love all the way since..

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick ~ 075 Peach ~ Photos, Review and Swatches

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick ~ 075 Peach ~ Photos, Review and Swatches



What the product says ~

Instant burst of rich, true color with a featherlight feel
Elasticolor™ technology provides immediate color release and hugs lips with a burst of weightless color that feels like a second skin


My take with this shade ~


Peach is a true peach shade having a creamy texture and no shimmer in it at all.
It is definitely a build-able product and I personally swipe it 2-3 times if I am having a smoked eye makeup , else I just swipe it once and off I leave for my work.

Colorburst range from Revlon is an awesome range having a wide number of shades all with creamy texture.
Its creamy and not super creamy that it will vanish off after having a small snack
The quality is damn good for the price you have to pay for it,,its awesome,,

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick ~ 075 Peach ~ Photos, Review and Swatches


Just make sure that you keep them refrigerated,, this baby refuses to come out of the refrigerator, gets all soft creamy the day I take it out from the fridge and stack it in my drawer..


The packaging of this range is what caught my fancy at first,,the diamond pattern on it looks superb and very chic,, also its easier to look out for a particular shade because the cap has the shade of the lipstick on its top. It is travel friendly but not very much,,I have seen it with its cap removed in my handbag a couple of times, so you should try n keep it in a lipstick case,,
color payoff is superb  too,,easily lasts on my lips for around 4 hours..

I can not pick out even a single negative thing from this particular shade/range.

Net weight ~
Price ~ 580 INR

Recommendation : Yes please,,I know you all will love it.,


Thanks
