Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Mascara ~ Pictures, review and eye swatch ~ Its's PINK ♥   ♥   ♥ 

Since the first very moment I read about this mascara I knew I wanted it.

I am not addicted to pink but somehow I was drawn towards it ,, 

I am glad I bought it.

I have long lashes with decent volume but I love drama eyes ,, fluttery lashes big black & beautiful.

I wanted more volume to my lashes which I couldn't get through Maybelline colossal volume express mascara or from Lakme Lash Artist. So, in the search of a volumizing mascara I chanced upon this and I tell you I lub it ♥   ♥   ♥

As per Bourjois website :

My take on it :

• It gives length and it gives killer volume ~ Trust me on this. If you have sparse lashes and would love to have dramatic lashes making you look oh~so~gorgeous then my dear this is for you !
• The tiny lashes that are barely there but still there ~ This mascara would evenly coat those lashes giving them proper definition.
• Its pink ~ pink ~ omg pink ~ for the pink lovers :)
• The volume which it gives in one coat is in my opinion more than sufficient for daily wear, so the more coats you apply the more gorgeous fluttery looking will your eyes be.
• The 500 tiny bristles are good for everything,, they will coat your lashes , separating them nicely and you won't get clumpy lashes.
• Its water proof ~ I was in rain for an hour with this on ~ and my eyes were perfect. It didn't run off at all.
• The bottle is sturdy and closes with a ~tuck~ sound.. I do open n close it a couple of times just to listen to that :D weird ? Nope ;)
• The wand is pretty long. Of good material .
• The bottle is quite long, I wasn't expecting it to be that long. (okay it's not that long but it still somehow looks huge maybe cos of it having a flat belly :p )
• You need to work your hands fast and not wait for mascara to dry before applying second coat. It's important. really. 
• Don't flutter your lashes much while its still wet. You might get tiny spots of mascara on your eye lid this way.
• If you are going to apply many coats,, lets say 3-4 then be ready for a heavy eye effect. But dun worry you won't feel anything after two or three minutes.
• It doesn't have any smell so yayiee :)
• It fans out your lashes pretty well.
• I didn't curl my lashes so as to see its curling properties and as you can see my lashes look pretty curled up.
• It doesn't clump my lashes at all.

 

A few glitches

• The wand has zero bristles right on its tip therefore it catches lot of mascara liquid there and since the wand is long you might transferring it on your face while applying mascara.
• Nope, nothing else. ;)

All in all I really really like it. You can see the pics and observe how much definition and volume it is giving to my lashes. I am in lub with it and I would really say that it is a Must Buy.

Price : 595 INR

Qty : 10 ml

Shade : 51 Max Black

Recommendation : Yes please, Its pink, its perfect, It will give you the most gorgeous looking eye lashes ever.

It doesn't feel heavy on your eyes (after 2 mins). Though It doesn't look all that natural but still it looks pretty.

Remember no use of eyelash curler here ~ what you see is because of the mascara's curling properties.

Bought it online from Stylecraze.com . Got it for INR 535 instead of retail price 595 INR.

Thanks and have a great weekend.
My plans are awesome :D for this weekend. Well my had week started on an awesome note since yesterday ;)

Vedic Line BB Cream ~ Review and Swatch

Vedic Line BB Cream ~ Review and Swatch

I recently got this package from vedic line and I was so so excited to try it out. Reason? well since the time I was a lil chirpy girl I was hugely attracted towards things/brands that have some association with being natural.


This is the Blemish Balm cream from Vedic Line.


As per the Brand :

• Blemish Balm Cream.
• SPF 20
• Evenly covers Blemishes, wrinkles and spots, Blocks UV rays.
• Paraben Free.
• Dermatologically tested.
• Serves as a foundation or primer for application of makeup.
• Does not come off easily from sweat or sebum.
• Suits all skin types
• 100% derived from the vegetable mineral kingdom
• Not tested on Animals  ♥
• 100% Veg

Vedic Line BB Cream ~ Review and Swatch

Packaging 


Nice. Practical yet nice, screw open lid withe a nozzle inside.


Ingredients 

Vedic Line BB Cream ~ Review and Swatch

How to use it 


 Use it daily, directly or after absorption of Moisturizer, Serum or Essence. For imperfect areas apply extra layer of BB cream.


My take on it 


 After trying it for around 2 weeks m writing this review. 
I take it as a light weight foundation with added benefits.  It is kind of a dupe for this, the latter one being discontinued I can say that those who miss that should buy Vedic Line BB Cream.
Consistency ~ Normal on the verge of being thin, easy blending with finger tips.


How I use it 


 I use this or Lacto Calamine to moisturize my face and then use this BB cream ; few dots all over the face and then blending them with my fingers.
Since this is the season of scorching heat you might need to set it up with powder so that it doesn't melt down. The melt down part is actually quite low , they have stated this on the tube itself.


How it looks on me 


 well pretty nice :) My skin is clear these days *touchwood* so I don't need any concealing (doesn't include under eye circles :\ all thanks to late night reading) , this BB cream looks natural on my skin, since it looks all natural on skin hence the "one shade fits all" rule applies here pretty well.

Vedic Line BB Cream ~ Review and Swatch

I have dry cheeks at times so almost every other  foundation looks patchy on my skin (barring few good ones), but this did not. In fact it gives a nice glow to my face which I♥.


Does it conceal ? 


 It conceals pretty well, the redness around the nose and cheeks gets all covered, same goes for acne scarring. I can't say how it works for active acne concealing because thankfully I have none.

Vedic Line BB Cream ~ Review and Swatch

Some more details 


~ It is totally comparable to This and better than the Maybelline BB Cream(review coming soon) in all aspects.
~ No breakout or rash or redness or white bumps after using this so ♥ ♥ ♥ it.
~100% veg and not tested on animals , do you need anything else to feel good using it.


Price ~ 250 INR
Quantity ~ 30 ml
Availability ~ Here


Recommendation ~ Yes please !! Not to be missed at all.


Thanks

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

something you will love for sure ~ VioletBag.com ~ website review and a Haul

Online shopping is not new to me and I know quite well that it is not new to you girls also ;) 

But what is new this time is this lovely website that is love actually right from the name it has to the box it delivers its products in.

 why did I say "something you will love for sure" ? in the title of this post,,,its because I know how much we girls like uniqueness in our lives, be it a unique pair of earrings or even a uniquely named website,, 

I am talking about violetbag.com , our very own violet colored website .

something you will love for sure ~ VioletBag.com ~ website review and a Haul 

I love its layout!! easy and stylish!! , the varied brands it has is something that all other major shopping websites (beauty) lacks completely,,and not to forget the amazing discounts you get when you shop from them.

I love bags, and so I love that violet colored bag it has in its logo,,

which reminds me I don't have any violet colored bag,, which also reminds me that I dreamt of buying three new clutches in my dream last night ;) ;) m telling you it was a early morning dream,,yep right before the scary earthquake that shook me up like anything,,,

, the epicenter was so damn near my home,, though at a Richter scale of 3.9 , I now very well know how massive this small magnitude can be,, because I skipped a heart beat,,,phew 2012!!!!!! 

ok enough of stupidity , lets continue with the review ,,shall we,, :)

So, I was given a opportunity to review this website and mannn I am honored, :)

I picked up 4 things from the site and they are :

1. Lakme absolute plump and shine 3D Gloss in Berry shine ~ INR 356 instead of INR 375

2. Lakme absolute white intense concealer stick  in Light to medium ~ INR 428 instead of INR 450

3. Faces eyelash curler ~ INR 134 instead of INR 149

4. Maybelline Lip smooth balm shade Dolly Rose  ~ INR 94 instead of INR 99.

something you will love for sure ~ VioletBag.com ~ website review and a Haul 

something you will love for sure ~ VioletBag.com ~ website review and a Haul 

So, you see the lovely discounts you get by Violetbag.com , :) 

I placed the order on 23rd, it was shipped on 24th and I recieved it on 27th, It would have been at my place on 26th itself, but because of the National Holiday it reached the next day,,but well ,,still it  reached within the proclaimed 3-5 days  of delivery time,,precisely on the 4th day :)

I am very happy with the professionalism this site showed with a quick email invoice as soon as I placed the order and with a sms alert too.

The categories it has are as followed :

~ Fragrance

~ skin care

~ bath and body

~ hair care

~ makeup

so you see,,such varied categories and so many brands...

~ Things sweet

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylit Digital ~ Pictures and Review

When I was a child I had soft curly hair but then I grew up and my hair got straight with slightly wavy ends.
I am a taurian and they are known to be moody, so at times all I want is tight curly hair and on a different day all I want is poker straight tresses ;) .
 It was only last year that I bought this Straightener from Morphy Richards.

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylit Digital ~ Pictures and Review

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylit Digital ~ Pictures and Review

I had bought a local brand hair straightener before this one and it was terrible,, It made my hair all frizzy and yuk. So, I thought why not look for something better and then I saw this and another one which was in pink color both from Morphy Richards. Now I fell for the pink one for obvious reasons but the only problem it had was that it had a dial for temperature control and you have to manually regulate it to have your desired temperature and this one, the black beauty had a Electronic temperature control in LCD display which in my opinion was more practical and safe too.

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylit Digital ~ Pictures and Review

So , I bought the black one and I must say that it really does an awesome job.

Stuff about this Straightener :

1. Electronic temperature control with LCD display.
2. Five heat settings - Minimum 120 degree Celsius to Max temperature 210 degree Celsius.
3. On/Off switch
4. Ceramic coated heating plates
5. 360 degree swivel cord
6. Accessories ~ one comb, two hair clips and one accessory bag
7. Model number ~ Stylit Digital
8. Specifications ~ 40W, 230V-50Hz

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylit Digital ~ Pictures and Review

I love its sleek design., the fact that I can manually control the heat settings through the LCD display and that the cord can swivel 360 degrees which gives me a great control handling it. Also the plates are ceramic coated thus there is less chance of your hair getting damaged.
It comes with a accessory bag which had  a comb with a long pin tail, 4 hair clamps and a operating manual.

How I use it :

I don't straighten up  my hair regularly, its just for any party I have to attend or a special something,, The fact that I have got a hold on how to curl my hair with this straightener is a  bonus.
So, Before starting this straightening stuff I use Loreal's Liss Ultime Serum which is for heat styling your hair, after that I straighten up my hair at 160 degree which is a moderate heat level that works well for me.
Straightening my hair takes about 5 minutes with this styler and I guess that's a good thing.

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylit Digital ~ Pictures and Review

My hair definitely gets a more polished look after straightening with this styler and I am totally happy with the results I get from it,, completely worthy of the money I shelled out for this equipment.

I also have another Styler from Morphy Richards which have some 8-10 extensions and I will be talking about it in another blog post soon.

Before and After pics :

Before :
my hair looks damn wavy at the ends but its the lighting that is creating this effect,, it does not look like this in real. :) more straight actually :)

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylist Digital ~ Pictures and Review

After :

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylist Digital ~ Pictures and Review

A random hairstyle , this was non intentional,, I was watching tv and my mum clicked it without telling me,,thought of sharing this with you guys. yup the braids around the flower can't be seen.. :| , there were 6 braids twisted and pinned forming loops which looks good , but here you can't seem to see any thing,, still I am uploading this one cos my mum clicked it :)

Morphy Richards Hair Straightner Stylist Digital ~ Pictures and Review

Overall I am really impressed with this straightener and this Brand too.
I will also be reviewing the Liss Ultime serum soon..Its really awesome girls :)

Price ~ 2495 INR
comes with a 2 year warranty.

Recommendation : yes please if you really want to invest in a good straightener.
