MUA Blushes Shade No. 2 and Shade No.4

MUA Blushes Shade No. 2 and Shade No.4


       Hey my pretty angels, have you ever noticed that beautiful pink flush on the newly wed or a would be bride, no that does not come from a #blush that is cent percent natural glow. But who said that pink flush cant be cheated, well I say makeup has no rules, little bit of cheating is allowed and I believe that’s what #MUA Make up Academy brand has done.
                Here I present one of the my best buys so far in the blush section, shade number 2 and shade number 4 blushers of #MUA Makeup Academy. In total there are six shades and I got two for me though I knew the shade 4 would suit me well when I ordered, but was apprehensive about shade 2 but viola I love it to the core. With such beautiful shade range I think every skin tone can find a match.




       I assure u guys these are deceptive beauties in the little pots.  I really love the packaging the way the brand name is imprinted in the blush. It’s a no fuss built which I really like.  It’s a tiny little pot just 2.5 inches which is very travel friendly and it can also be fitted in that small party clutch of yours.  Despite the fact these come under 1$ tag they provide 2.4g and I think these blushes gonna last me long. They do not come with a mirror or brush, but hey who’s complaining. I hardly use that brush anyway.


                  Look at the color guys I am in love with these to the core, I just love the color of both these blushes, Shade no. 2 is pink color which gives a kind of natural pink flush to my face and I use it in day time, the other shade gives a coral + pink effect on me and I prefer to use it at night as it has very very minute shimmers but you know guys that just personal preference. I had to layer up the color to make it visible on my wrist, so they are not superbly pigmented. But that is plus point according to me as it gives the control how much color we require on our cheeks.  The texture is very smooth and blends easily into the skin. These do not highlight my pores.



    They are not too powdery, I did notice some fall out while taking swatches but guys I don’t think I should complain as at such a cheap price tag we can neglect these cons. There staying power is pretty good they did stay on me for about 4 hrs and I think they can work better if we used with a primer underneath. I have an acne prone skin and neither of these blushes broke me out.


I am happy with these blushes, overall a good budget buy which will not drill a hole in your pocket. Girls who just started there college, flaunt beautiful pink cheeks with the help of these without getting broke.



Yays:
  • 1                        I am biased, Love love love the color of shade 2
  • 2                        Buildable color
  • 3                       Non gritty
  • 4                      Can be easily blended
  • 5                      Travel friendly packaging
  • 6                      Does not clog the pores
  •                     Affordable


          Nays:
  •                  Non availability in India (I bought it from www.jabong.com) or its own website.
  • 2                  Some fall out.
  • 3                  I so wish that these blushes had names instead of numbers


Will I buy them again: I will definitely buy other shades.

CHAMBOR TRIO BRUN CEDRE 59 EYE SHADOW

CHAMBOR TRIO BRUN CEDRE 59
               
                Hey my beautiful darls :*, I hope you all are enjoying monsoon weather. I just came back home from the food tasting and after lot of self badgering I am up with another review. I know it’s very wrong to stay from my blog but trust me I have been really very busy with marriage preparations.  Just four months left and I haven’t started shopping for myself.  Nevertheless lets not go off track and I am today presenting you one of my favourite eye shadow trios i.e Chambor Trio Brun Cedre 59.




            Here is the floral print Chambor eye shadow trio. Chambor has this classy packaging of the navy blue color and I love the modification which is been done here in the trio as I have seen the other eye shadows and I came across the simple looking packaging.


            There is a button through which this trio can be opened easily,, this eye shadow comes with an applicator and a small mirror for touch ups and at the time of emergency (imagine you forgot your mirror while you are travelling), this will come as a saviour :-. The applicator is broad from one end and sleek from another, I think it is made keeping in mind one side is for the crease and other for inner corner. I have used this brush, it is decent and washable. There is a rose embedded on every color and here it might not be visible as I have used this palate quite a few times.


            Now comes the best part this trio comes with beautiful shades 1) Highlighting shade, 2) Bronze and 3) Golden shade. This palate has all time favourite shades of Indian Girls and I love it because it can be worn alone and can be used with other eye shadow to create smoky or subtle looks. Some people also call these shades as festive shades and I totally agree to it.


            All  colors glide on the eyes smoothly with minute fall out and lets accept it guys with powder  eye shadows there will be some fall out. I use patting technique for powder eye shadows which makes the fall out minimum. They are superbly pigmented. The highlighting shade is for brows and inner corners, bronze shade for the crease and golden shade for the lid this way it can also be used at day time as it gives a very subtle look. Too add the oomph factor, You can create a golden and black smoky eye makeup, or golden and dark blue smoky look.


As the hand swatch shows the shades have a lot of shimmer but on the eyes it is not overpowering.


On my lids these stayed on for 5 hours (without a primer) and after that they started creasing. I think they will last more long if used with primer. Over all I am happy with the purchase and I think it is value for money, three eye shadows which can be used in various looks.

Yays
1.      Buttery Smooth
2.      Pigmentation
3.      Staying power
4.      Value for money (Rs. 545)
Nays
1.      Fall Out  ( ye dil maange more)

Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact

           

          Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact


              My lovely gorgeous beauties, I hope you all are doing good in this scorching heat. Last year in this same weather I bought a small beauty which has stayed with me like a trustworthy partner in the last year’s summer and we pledge to stay together in sickness and health.. (hehehhehehhe).
            Ok I have bored you enough. Last year I was on a hunt to buy a compact powder, which can be used wet and dry with medium coverage , so that I would not need to buy a full fledge foundation on my cousin’s engagement. I was a no makeup girl then, or you can say I didn’t want my foundation to melt away when I say hello to the sun.


            Company claims, it would provide 16-hour stay and has spf-17 and comes with a soft sponge which will help to achieve even look.


            At that time I bought this stylish, classy, metallic body Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry compact, priced at Rs. 650 which comes in a black velvet pouch . It is elliptically shaped compact and gave me a hard time in clicking its pictures as it is so glossy that it acted as a mirror whenever I tried to take shots. Although I defeated it yeeeeeehhhh ( I hope so as you are my judges).
