NYX Trio TS01 White/Gray/Black

 Hey Friends,

Hope you all are doing well. Today i am going to share my views on my second NYX Trio Eyeshadow Palette TS01 , for the other one click here, this palette is for those who love intense Black/Gray Smokey Eyes. 

So Lets Begin

Active Cosmetics Glamour Radiance Compact

Hey Ladies,

Hope Everything is fine your end, Today I am going to share a New Cosmetic Product which hardly you might have heard of, Recently here there was a new counter opened in the Cosmetics Section, these products were sold on a good deal, so I thought of trying one of the palette. The Product is from Active Cosmetics, they are from Manchester UK.

Active Cosmetics : Glamour Radiance Compact

Contains: 18 Eye Shadows, 2 Bronzers , 2 Blushers & 3 Brush Applicators

Quantiy :15.3 g

About Active Cosmetics:

In 2001, in England the Active Cosmetics was founded. It steadily established itself within the England Cosmetics Manufacturer. In 2006 a new bronzing range, named Sun Kissed was introduced by ACTIVE Cosmetics. The Active Cosmetics brand offers a variety of Active Cosmetics including: Glamour Radiance, Active Sun Kissed Bronzing Pearls and Active Sun kissed Bronzer and other Discount Active Cosmetics.

Can be bought through Websites like Amazon, Fragrancedirect.co.uk or any counters if available.

Price  of this Particular Palette is : 5.5 RO (Rs 750 Approx)

My Opinion about the product:

Frankly speaking I haven’t used them on myself yet, since I have recently bought this. But I did swatched it in the mall and on my hand while doing this review, what I found was

Colors are really pigmented, but it would definitely need a proper base before applying these eye-shadows  The formula is non cakey, but some fall outs are expected. All the colors are super easy to blend, some does look glossy but actually there are no shimmers which I found really good. Most of the colors look similar when swatched on the hand. But I think may be I haven’t used any base underneath. The Staying Power overall is not bad too, This palette consists of both Neutrals and Pastels Shades which is good while travelling, It also comes in the a Matte Black , Sturdy Box which resembles a plastic case where in we keep our visiting cards but a little bigger in size. The detailed Ingredients and Quantity are mentioned behind the Box, which is really awesome.

The product has lots of variants like Sun kissed Bronzers, Highlighters, Glamour 88 Palettes, Eyebrow Kit , Eyelashes. All are available online in Fragrancedirect.co.uk or Amazon.com

Overall I am loving this product so far, I will soon do a Eye tutorial on this palette to ensure a proper understanding on the texture and shades.

The Top Line shades are mixture of Neutrals and pastels

The Middle Line Shades are a little darker version of the Top ones

The Bottom Line Shades are really Intense shades

Now ,The Blushers and Bronzers are all glossy and great texture but too light shades so i won’t be using these as intended but think of using them as a highlighter or blending the crease.

I really dint find the Brushes and the Applicators quite useful as they are the similar ones which we get in all the palettes

My Recommendation:

Yes , It’s a travel Friendly palette , Inexpensive, can be used by the beginners as well, Active Cosmetics is also known for their Lashes , so I think of soon buying the Lash and Eyebrow Palette.

LBA Rating:

3.5/5 (Points deducted because of the blushers and bronzers)

Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio in the Shade Black Dalia

 Hello Munchkins,

How have you been? Today I would be sharing my views on an Intense yet beautiful looking palette from Deborah Milano. Most of you might not go for such bold or dark colors on eyes, but I really love dark and intense shades on my eyes occasionally or some time when I am in that frame of mind.

So the Product of the Day is Deborah Milano Hi Tech Trio in the Shade Black Dalia No 13

Description

True, vibrant color. Frosted finishes of dazzling radiance. The silky smooth consistency goes on evenly and the three shades can be combined every which way to create a breathtaking array of effects. The product is formulated for easy blending, so color can be applied either wet or dry to achieve the desired intensity and depth. Hypoallergenic.* Ophthalmologist tested.

*Formulated to minimize the risk of allergy.

How to use: Used dry the finish is sophisticated and luminous, while used wet the result is metallic and visually dramatic.

Price : 3 RO (420 Rs) 

My take on the Product :

The formula of these shadows is most pigmented and it does pops out the shade very well. These baked trio eye shadows come in a round palette with a see through plastic lid. The Staying power of this shadows is super awesome, I had applied this in the morning for the tutorial and it lasted for about 6-7 hours.

All the shades are shimmery and the most important quality of this palette is that it can be used even with wet shadow brush and the colors shows off really well, metallic & dramatic. I was amazed to see such colors, It has a Shimmery White, Shimmery Black and Shimmery Navy Blue (Oouch), Blue did I see blue …normally we see White, Black and Grey, but blue…I loved it when I swatched it on my wrist, the colors were really looking amazing. They all have a smooth touch and spreads easily over the eyelids.

It comes with an bend applicator brush which I haven’t used yet, it sort of okie-doke,

 Ingredients:

My Likes:

• It comes in a sturdy palette and it is quite travel friendly.
• Staying power is amazing .
• Inexpensive.
• Could be used wet but I've not tried it though.
• The texture is very smooth and glides easily
• I love the tiny shimmers it has.
• What I have noticed in this particular palette is once the color is wiped out the shimmers are also gone whereas in many palettes tiny shimmers exists even if the color is being wiped off.
• I especially bought this for the navy Blue color which is superrrr awesome.

 My Dislikes:

• My only con is a base should be applied with the dark shade.
• No Mirror

Recommendation:

Yes, anyone who likes to intensify their look by using such bold colors can go for this palette.

LBA  Rating:

4.8/5

Thanks for Reading, do comment below about how well I can create this look by swapping the shades.

MaXFactor MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara Review and Swatch

Hola Munchkins,

Hope you are doing great. I would be reviewing today my all time favorite cosmetic product which is Mascara and it is from MaXFactor and called as MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara

Friends this is my first Gel Mascara, I got this sample product in a gift bag kind of thing, & I just began using it lately, and I must say, I will go out and buy this product in the full size, it's just amazing and thought of sharing the review of it. J

Lets begin with what MaXFactor Claims about MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara

Get up to 400% Volume.*

Finding high impact volumising mascara that doesn’t leave your lashes looking clumpy and clogged can be a challenge. Masterpiece Max Mascara is the next generation of mascara. It delivers bold, thick lashes with up to 400% volume* but defines and smoothes at the same time for a surprisingly, sleek effect. One swipe of its high tech IFX brush gives a chic, catwalk finish in seconds – no wonder its was the official mascara of  Milan Fashion Week! For beautifully framed eyes check out Masterpiece Mascara, also available as Waterproof.

Price of MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara (for 7.2 ml) : Rs 700-800 /- Approximate

 

My Opinion on MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara

Since I got this as a gift it is too tiny (5.3 ml) (sample size). It comes in Gel formulation. The mascara has a fiber brush that is extremely good at coating your lashes with the product and at the same time separating them. Normally we wiggle a lot to separate our lashes but here I dint give any effort because the wand is very nice and easy to use. As you can in the picture it is dome shaped wand which helps us curl our baby lashes at the start and end of the eye. The consistency is not too liquid and not too thick... I have naturally fine but long eyelashes hence I don’t use an eyelash curler so I found that ALOT of mascaras clump on me. I usually apply 2 to 3 coats of the mascara, my lashes look extremely natural. Here in this case you don´t have to use eye make-up remover with oil and don´t have to rub like crazy to get this off….But people who are looking for a dramatic effect can avoid this. Its sort of a standard black mascara that doesn't flake or give you raccoon eyes, gives you definition/length/volume and holds a decent curl.

 

My Likes:

·         Gel consistency is super awesome.

·         The packaging is very much like "Max Factor" with gold and black finish.

·         It comes in 3 Variants i.e. Black / Brown Black / Deep Blue

·         When applied, it gives me dark, defined and perfectly separated lashes..

·         Its available in waterproof

·         The wand (Called as High Tech IFX Brush) which comes in it is quite easy to hold and it evenly coats individual lashes, even those hard to reach ones at the corner of your eyes and for lower lashes as well since it has got perfect dome shaped brush.

My Dislikes:

·         I am not sure about the availability in India

Would I recommend MasterpieceMAX High Volume & Definition Mascara:

Yes of course…I know ladies do wish to have beautiful eyes and mascara plays the important role into it…so try this one and I assure you won’t regret buying it.

LBA Rating:

4.5/5 (The reason I am rating it as 4.5 is …I believe it’s works excellent for me but there are products which can be unbeatable and which I can attempt giving a try in near future.)

Maybelline Volum’ Express Colossal Waterproof Mascara

Hey Ladies,

How have you been??? Finally Sunday is coming to an end, fresh new week starting from tomorrow..So Excited.. Anyways I am ..coz the coming days are gonna be a little special for me.

So today we are gonna speak something about Eyes. Eyes are often conceived as a “window to the soul” and are an important part of our personalities and character.

Beautiful and gorgeous eyes are every woman’s nightmare. When thinking of eye make-up how can one overlook the mascara? Here comes my review for the day. MASCARA .When mascara is applied to the eyelashes, it not only thickens them but also opens up the eye and gives the eyes a more wide and wakeful effect.

I am such a mascara junkie so I'm always on the lookout for a new product that works. I always wanted mascara that would give me BIG lashes.

Product I am gonna review now is Maybelline Volum’ Express Colossal Waterproof Mascara

Let’s begin with what Maybelline Claims

Maybelline Volum’ Express Colossal Waterproof Mascara comes in a glam black shade. This water-resistant mascara uses waterproof collagen formula that will prevent the eyelashes from losing the dark black color by sweat, tears or even the rain. The mega brush creates a 7X volume instantly and gives complete coverage to all the lashes and makes them look lush and stunning.

This smudge-proof Mascara from Maybelline is ophthalmologist-tested and also made sure to be safe for use while wearing contact lens. Applying the Maybelline Volum’ Express Colossal Waterproof Mascara will make your eyes look big, the lashes thick and dark and give your eyes a very plush and lovely look.

Price: Rs. 330 for 10 ml

My Take on the Product:

Let’s begin with the outer part, The yellow color is very attention-grabbing and at the same time the shape of the plastic container is cylindrical/oblique which is striking.

It comes in 2 options – 1) Washable one and 2) Waterproof one.

Coming to the functional Part

The brush is Colossal i.e. HUGE which is the most important part of what it’s going to do with your lashes. The wand is actually ah-may-zingg at separating and volumizing your lash. According to me it has a thick stick so one needs to be cautious while coating the inner lashes and lower lashes.

It sometimes does shed black flakes at the ends of the lashes. The consistency is neither too thick nor too liquidy or Runny.  Just perfect!! Moreover it dries super fast.

For me a single coat applied on the lashes gives a natural look & multiple coats give a dramatic look. But I normally go for 2 coats.

I think it gives just the right amount of definition, without giving you that 'spider-lash' look. 

Overall, I like this mascara.

I've found that most waterproof mascara's do the waterproof job but don't give a good look. This mascara looks awesome on my lashes and it's surprising easy to take off. You can use a baby oil or Olive oil to remove or Maybelline’s MakeupRemover does a great job too.

All in all, this has become my go-to mascara for everyday

Would I recommend?

I definitely love this piece of product from Maybelline…but I really would love to try some other brands like Rimmel, Revlon and Make Up forever.

LBA Rating: 3.5 / 5
