Must Have beauty Products This Festive Season

Hii Guys…

How are you all doing…

Durga puja just passed by and Diwali is knocking at the door. Everyone is lost in festivity spirit and enjoying the most. Some are busy in preparations, some are busy in shopping and some are busy in decorations.

This is my personal favorite time of the year, as I luv celebrating festivals with great pump and show. 

Being a Marwari, Diwali is my main festival and we celebrate it grandly in my house.

So now coming to the point, since it is a festival time, we need to look good too. And for that we need certain products handy in our vanity. So I thought of sharing my must have products with you guys so that it can help you guys select yours.

Let’s start with face makeup first:

      1)      Primer: It is a must have item this festive season as it helps you keep your makeup intact for longer period of time. My current fav is Inglot primer. It is gel based and it gets absorbed in skin very rapidly giving a nice and soft texture.

      2)      Foundation: Foundation is again must have to look good. My current favorite is Loreal infallible powder foundation. It is really very effective. If I need to use liquid foundation sometimes, I prefer one from Blue Heaven X factor all in one foundation.

      3)      Concealer: I don’t prefer applying concealer always except when I am doing some heavy makeup. And for that I use my makeup revolution concealer.

      4)      Compact: This is a must have to give a perfect finishing touch to skin. I use Maybelline superstay compact. I really love this. It is perfect for everyday as well as festive makeup look. 

      5)      Blush: For blush, I rely on my MUA blush which is cream based. It is very easy to apply and gives nice and subtle finish.

Now coming to eye makeup:

     1)      Kohl: It is a must must must have product for one and all. I have used many kohls are all are very nice. Like colossal kajal, kajal magique etc. but my current fav is from elle 18. It is smudge proof kajal which stays on for nice 8 to 10 hours.

     2)      Eye liner: Another must have product to give a dramatic look to your face. My current and all time fav liner is colossal liner, which is a pen type liner.

     3)      Mascara: Mascara is not very important but still to make your face look wide and open, we apply this. My current fav mascara is colossal mascara.

     4)      Eye shadow pallete: I generally love to do smokey eye in festivals. For that my fav pallete is chocolate pallete from makeup revolution. It has such awesome shades.

Last but not the least, coming to lip makeup:

     1)      Lipstick: Be it any occasion, lipstick is a must. Currently I am loving matte lips and for that I prefer Maybelline lip gradation. It is the best crayon lipstick that I have ever used.

Sometimes when I don’t prefer to apply matte lipstick, I use MUA lipstick.

That is all about my must have festive beauty products. I have reviewed some of the products listed above earlier. Do check out if you like:

Fashion Style In Trend

Hii Guys,,, How are you all doing…??

Diwali is knocking at the door and I am sure everyone must have started with shopping.

Diwali is the color of lights. Apart from decorating our house and doing Pooja, getting ready and looking our best always tops our priority list. Meeting people, going on social gatherings are all part of Diwali celebrations, for which we usually focus on our looks.

So we girls are always keen about our outfits as it can make our look or destroy our look. So I thought of helping you out with your Diwali shopping this year.

In my todays post, I will take you through the latest style trends in ethnic wear, so that it becomes easier for you guys to choose and buy your perfect Diwali outfit.

So without any delay, let’s start.

When it comes to ethnic, we generally prefer suit or saree. So I will be talking about these two today.

     1)    Saree:

Saree is the most versatile outfit that any women can wear. It bring out the real you and make you look gorgeous. Saree is something which is just perfect for any and every occasion.

You can choose any type of saree from traditional to net to Bollywood, it will look gorgeous this festive season.

Just make sure you wear perfect accessories and hairstyle to go with it.

     2)    Lehenga Dress:

Lehenga dress is highly in trend now a days. They give you a trendy look in contrast with ethnic wear. Either pair it up with a dupatta or wear just kurta and lehenga, both looks superb.

You can play with prints and colors here by doing mix and match to look different.

     

     3)    Pallazo suits:

This is the latest trend this festive season. From casual wear to party wear, you can wear a pallazo suit for all occasions. It gives a very flowing and attractive look.

To add a spark, pair it up with traditional jewelries and you are good to go.

     4)    Anarkali suits:

Anarkali suits are the most talked about outfit when it comes to traditional wear. They give a very nice ethnic look which no one can beat ever. That’s the reason, it is in trend since such a long time.

Floor length suits, paired up with chudidar and dupatta gives a very royal look which is perfect to look the best.

Wear a anarkali suit and style it with heavy earrings, bangles, a traditional bag and heels.

Wearing any of this outfits will definitely boost up your look and make you look stylish, elegant and a stylish ethnic diva.

Hope my article was helpful and it will guide you select your perfect Diwali outfit.

Review On Maybelline Lip Gradation

Hii Girls,

How are you all doing…? Hope everyone is having a nice festive time.

Today I have come up with yet another product review.

So, if I ask any girl what is your 5 must have products or 5 products which you can’t live without or 5 things you don’t leave your house without, I am sure almost 99% girls will have lipstick in their list.

We girls are just crazy for lipsticks. Even if we have numerous amount of lipsticks we are not satisfied with it. Seeing our craziness for lipsticks, makeup brands keep coming up with new range of lipsticks.

Maybelline launched lip gradation range some months back and I am super impressed with it. This is one of the best lipstick that comes under crayon lipstick category.

Keep reading to know all details about it.

Product Description:

Matte lipsticks are quite on demand now a days. Another thing that is on trend is crayon lipsticks. 

When you combine these two, you get Maybelline lip gradation.

It is a perfect crayon lipstick which gives you a gorgeous matte finish. It is a two sided crayon which contains lip shade on 1 side and cushion blender on another. You can use the cushion blender to get perfect ombre or graded look.

It comes in 8 different shades: Pink 1 , Pink 2, Red 1, Red2, Fuchsia 1, Orange 1, Mauve 1 and Coral 1.

The one I have is Fuchsia 1 which is a bright pink shade with blue undertone.

Price and Quantity:

Maybelline lip gradation is retailed at Rs. 500 for 1.25gm.

Shelf Life:

36 months from the date of manufacturing.

Packaging:

As mentioned above, it is a 2 sided crayon lipstick. On one side it has the lip tiny and on another it has cushion blender.

Body of the crayon is colored as same lip shade. And both the ends are secured by black caps.

Packaging is quite classy and eye catching. It can be easy carried in handbags or even in wallets.

Texture:

These lipsticks have creamy texture which gives a very nice matte finish. The cushion blender can be used to get a smudged look too. Its consistency is just perfect for it.

Moreover, I would not suggest it for very dry lips. If you use a lip balm and apply it, you might not get the desired matte finish.

Directions of Usage:

To apply it generally, first line your lips using the same lipstick and then fill up the remaining parts.

To get a smudged look, apply lipstick in the center of your lips and then use the cushion blender to smudge it all over. That will give you perfect matte and ombre look.

Pros of Maybelline Lip Gradation:

       1)      Gives nice matte finish.

       2)      Have classy packaging making it travel friendly.

       3)      Can be used to get both matte as well as graded look.

       4)      Easily available.

       5)      Have nice creamy texture.

       6)      Covers pigmentation.

Cons of Maybelline Lip Gradation:

       1)      Limited shades available.

       2)      All usual shades, nothing new and interesting.

       3)      Quantity is low for given price.

       4)      Not suitable for very dry lips.

My experience of Maybelline lip Gradation:

If you follow my blog regularly, you must be knowing that I am big lipstick lover. Also Maybelline is one of my favorite makeup brand. So when this range was launched I was super excited to try it out. 

But due to some personal reasons it got delayed.

Recently I got a chance to try my first lip gradation as I received it as a gift. It is in fushia1 shade.

During the tenure of its launch and me receiving it, I had read many mixed reviews about it, so I was little excited to try it out.

I personally liked it a lot. From its texture to finish to packaging, everything is perfect. It gives very nice bold and beautiful look which will suit on any Indian skin tone.

It is definitely a must have for me this festive season.

Only problem is that, it has all usual shades which we generally have. Therefore it’s no point in investing in them. But if you don’t have any of these shades, it is definitely a must try.

Ratings:

I am really satisfied with the quality of this lipstick so I would it has 3 out of 5.

If it had some unique shades, I would have rated it as 4.5/5.

Do let me know your experience if you have tried it before.

Thanks,

Ankita
