REVIEW & SWATCHES OF PHYSICIANS FORMULA MAKEUP


Hi Everyone, 

 Finally, PHYSICIAN FORMULA is available in India and they are now easily available in India.

So today I am going to share my experience using a few products from PHYSICIAN FORMULA.


Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer

 

PRICE:- Rs.1200/-

Key Ingredients:  Infused with a powerful blend of Murumuru Butter, Cupuacu Butter, and Tucuma Butter, from the lush and nutrient-rich Amazon

Benefits:  Hypoallergenic. Paraben-Free. Gluten-Free. Dermatologist Tested. Clinically Tested. Oil-Free. Vegan. Cruelty-Free.

Well, India is a summer prevail country so we don't need to make ourselves warm using bronzer but still I love to use bronzer as during winter I started to look pale and to make my makeup look a little warm I use bronzer. Murumuru Butter Bronzer is my recent addition to my bronzer collection.
The texture is soft and easy to blend but they are available only in 4 shades only in India. The light bronzer that I picked hardly shows up on my skin while the medium one is too dark on me. I wish there were some more shades to choose from. Moreover, the price of this bronzer is a little pricey. So overall it is a failed product for me.





Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Blush

 

PRICE:- RS.1050/-


Key Ingredients:  Murumuru Butter, Cupuaçu Butter, & Tucuma Butter

Benefits:  Hypoallergenic. Paraben-Free. Gluten-Free. Dermatologist Tested. Clinically Tested. Oil-Free. Vegan. Cruelty-Free.

I picked two shades and there are ROSY PINK AND NATURAL GLOW

HOW TO USE:-
  • May be worn alone or over makeup.
  • Brush over cheekbones to define and contour for a perfected natural-looking glow!

As much as I am disappointed with the bronzer I am that much happy with the blush. It is a soft buttery kind of texture. Highly pigmented and blends like butter in the skin. I love the shade I picked and I am planning to grab a few more. Although the price is a little high as it is a good blush so I don't mind spending money on it.





Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick DOSE OF ROSE

 

PRICE:- RS. 650/-

 I picked the shade DOSE OF ROSE.
Key Ingredients:  Avocado Oil, Vitamins A & E, Hyaluronic Acid, Anti-Aging Peptides.

Benefits:  Hypoallergenic. Paraben-Free. Gluten-Free. Clinically Tested. Dermatologist Approved. Cruelty-Free.
HOW TO USE:-
  • Use applicator tip to line lips, then fill in.
  • Glides on easily for an amazing, one-stroke pay-off.

A great lip product at an affordable price. Although the blush and bronzer burn your pocket price-wise but this lip product is a bomb and that too at an affordable price.
It is neither too creamy nor watery. The consistency is so good that it apply on lips smoothly. It is a comfort matte liquid lipstick that doesn't dry up my lips further. Moreover, they hardly fade even if you eat or drink anything. But yes oily food might remove the lipstick from lips otherwise it will stay intact more than 6 hours on lips in any circumstances. I love this liquid lipstick and definitely, I will buy more. 






Overall I like the blushes and the liquid lipsticks but I don't like the bronzer as it hardly shows on my skin. I might buy a few more lip shades as they are quite affordable and I love them.





So, that's all for today, see you in my next post.

REVIEW AND SWATCHES OF COLOURPOP MAIN SQUEEZE EYESHADOW PALETTE



I never loved to eat watermelon as it has so many seeds in it. I feel like this particular fruits need so much work to eat that I better I avoid eating it. So Watermelon was never on my list but seeing COLOURPOP MAIN SQUEEZE, I knew that I need it in my stash.


She’s the new monochromatic palette to take over your makeup routine. You’ve been asking for a red palette, so we made one with 5 mattes, 4 metallics, and ALL red shadows! Ranging from true reds, to corals and crimson, you’ll be looking like a spicy mami all season. No summer look is complete without this baby by your side.

The palette has the following shades:-

  •   Frosè: Matte coral red
  •  Juicy Fruit: Metallic coral with a gold flip
  •  Home Slice: Metallic strawberry red
  •  Like It's Hot: Matte true red
  •  Maraschino: Metallic red with a gold flip
  •  Big Gulp: Matte burnt coral red
  •  Seed Money: Matte red-brown
  •  Bay Watch: Metallic red bronze
  •  Red Bottoms: Matte red plum

COLOURPOP MAIN SQUEEZE PALETTE is based on theme red. And so the palette is really vibrant in packaging. The eyeshadow palette has both matte and metallic shades in it. All the eyeshadows are super pigmented. They blend like butter on lids. The matte eyeshadows have little fallouts while metallic one has almost no fallouts. The red shade in the palette is so vibrant that combining that shade with another one can create so many looks.

Overall a very good palette and I am really happy that I add a red-based palette in my stash which I am going to use during this Christmas.










So that's all for today. See you in my next post.

REVIEW & SWATCHES OF PLUMGOODNESS NATURSTUDIO ALL-DAY-WEAR KOHL KAJAL- BLACK BRILLANCE




"Any makeup without a kajal is incomplete. Kajal plays an important role in  Indian makeup always. Whether it is smokey eyes or kohl eyes, Kajal plays an important part in eye makeup.
So our search for the best kajal is a never-ending task, but today I am up with a post which might help you a bit in your search for a perfect kajal".


Today I am going to share my experience using PLUM GOODNESS KAJAL which is known as "NaturStudio All-Day-Wear Kohl Kajal in Black Brilliance Shade".
 The kajal is available in single and twin pack. I bought the twin pack. Both the pack comes up with a single sharpener.

PRICE:-  Single pack:- Rs.495/- and Twin Pack:- Rs.850/-
AVAILABLE:- PLUM GOODNESS WEBSITE, NYKAA.

SECRET:

 
 The twin pack is better than single pack in term of quantity and price ;)

♥ Made in Germany

DESCRIPTION:-

 
100% smudge-proof. 100% preservative-free

Welcome to NaturStudio- where it's all about the glam, minus the harm. For the first time in India, an ophthalmologically approved kajal pencil with a gel-liner like performance in a pencil format.

REASON TO LOVE:-

♥ Soft, creamy, gel-based single-swipe darkest black.
♥ 100% smudge-proof and water-proof
♥ Brilliant black that looks "just applied" even after 12 hours.
♥ Preservative-free, paraben-free, mineral oil-free, paraffin-free
♥ Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested & approved
♥ Rich in Vitamin E for care and protection
♥ 100% vegan formula, not tested on animals
♥ Full-size 1.2g pencil – 4 times the kajal found in twister kajals (which contain 0.31g). Lasts at least twice as long.

DISCLAIMER:

  • Great for: Everyone, except those with very sensitive eyes.
  • Not recommended if: Your eyes are sensitive, prone to watering, burning or itching. Check out our all-natural Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal if you are looking for a kajal that's best suited for very sensitive eyes.

HOW TO USE:

To use as kajal, apply a generous swipe on your waterline, starting from the inner corner of the eye and smoothly moving outwards.

To use as liner, draw a line from the outer corner of your eye, moving slightly upward. Now, continuing with the line on your upper eyelid, stroke dark outward to inward, such that it looks like a continuous swipe.

IMPORTANT: For best results, use a high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpener (recommended: Plum Flip-Tip Sharpener) to sharpen. Using loose-fitting sharpeners or stationery pencil sharpeners will damage the tip and the pencil.

GOODNESS INSIDE:

Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Highly hydrating and nourishing for skin and hair with healing properties.

Rice Bran Wax
A relatively unknown but amazing moisturizer that lends creaminess and hydrating properties to any formula!

Natural Vitamin E
Antioxidant skin care specialist that's essential for hydrated, younger looking skin.

"Do note that owing to its high performance benchmark, this product is not all natural - but is 100% safe and tested by dermatologists and ophthalmologists."

PACKAGING:

The kajal comes as a wooden pencil for which it needs to sharpen every time the tip becomes blunt. Thankfully the tip of the kajal is not so soft and that's why if you sharpen it slowly with the plum sharpen the tip will remain intact and it will hardly break.

TIP:

KEEP YOUR KAJAL INSIDE FREEZER FOR AN HOUR OR TWO BEFORE YOU SHARPEN, IT WILL HARDENED THE TIP OF THE KAJAL AND IT WILL NOT PRONE TO BREAKAGE DURING SHARPENING.

MY EXPERIENCE:-

I have tried so many kajal till now that I can write a book on them. But most of the kajal irritate my eyes or feels heavy on my waterline. Plum goodness kajal is one that is jet black in color, super pigmented even on my waterline and it doesn't irritate my eyes at all. The kajal is waterproof but can easily remove with an oil-based makeup remover. You don't need to sharpen it after every time you use because the tip hardly melts at one application. The kajal is perfect for lining on the upper lid also. It doesn't smudge at all if you conceal and set the eyelid with a compact powder before you apply this kajal (just for extra precaution). The kajal is perfect for doing any experimental eye makeup as it glides smoothly on waterline also keeping the pigmentation intact.

Overall I am in love with PLUM GOODNESS KAJAL and definitely, I will recommend this kajal to everyone. Once I end this twin pack I will be buying this kajal again and again as I totally love them.

COLOURPOP THROUGH MY EYES SHADOW PALETTE REVIEW & SWATCHES


"The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart"...

Today I am with COLOURPOP THROUGH MY EYES SHADOW PALETTE. It was a collaboration collection ILUVSARAHI.

PRICE:- $24
INSTAGRAM SELLER PRICE:- Rs.2200-Rs.2400/- approx
Availability:- Colourpop website

DESCRIPTION:

You’re a sight to see, baby! Get endless looks with iluvsarahii’s first ever 16-pan shadow palette, includes 8 stunning metallics and 8 rich matte finishes. Get ahead of the curve with the trendiest shades, from rich emeralds to Pantone’s color of the year. Inspired by Karen’s unique perspective from her side of the beauty world, this palette was made for you to embrace and express your own individuality.

  • Lucido: metallic light gold
  • Wild Soul: matte dusty mustard yellow
  • Mesmer-Eyez: metallic orange gold
  • Sandalwood: matte soft light beige
  • In a Wink: matte soft pastel peach
  • Euphoric: matte bright true orange
  • Canela: matte soft terracotta sprinkled with gold glitter
  • Lomo: metallic bright coral red
  • Emerald Dream: metallic vivid emerald green
  • Muze: metallic bright warm gold sprinkled with silver glitter
  • Divina: matte deep blackberry
  • Flecks: metallic icy taupe packed with silver glitter
  • Nostalgia: matte mid-tone warm rose
  • Moody: matte rich forest green
  • Nocturne: metallic rosy red
  • Missbehave: matte rich wine red

The entire collection of ILUVSARAHI X COLOURPOP is available on Colourpop website but I took only the palette from the collection as I am a collector of Eyeshadow palettes after lipsticks.


So the packaging of the palette is really classy. It is little on the heavier side too. The green and metallic gold packaging look so Classy. It comes up with a mirror but there is no brush in it.

It is a 16 pan shadow palette with mixed matte and metallic shades. All the shades are super pigmented and the formula is amazing. For which they are easily blendable on my eyes. There is a little bit fallout of the shade "DIVINA" otherwise all the shades have almost no fallouts. The shadows are pretty good quality and as usual, they can easily beat high-end brands shadows. The pigmentation, texture and the color combination of this palette is as perfect as the other palette of Colourpop Cosmetics.


Overall I really like the palette and it is a complete palette for both neutral and colorful looks.
