My experience with NYX Perfect Filter Rustic Antique

Packaging

It has a variety of colors and they are all powdery/ chalky in nature with some amount of fall out.

Fragrance

It is fragrance-free

Experience

At some point in time, I got obsessed with eyeshadows and purchased this really pretty palette from NYX professionals perfect filter eyeshadow palette in “rustic antique”. The shade range is very pretty and I found this to be suitable enough to be used for any occasion, day or night. The shade ranges from light creams, to light oranges to golds to rose golds in browns and rustic grey shade. This palette can be used to create various kinds of looks. Some of the shades of this palette are shimmery and some of them are absolutely matte. The shimmery shades have fallen out but the matte shades are pretty good. They don’t make the eye lids oily and also stays on for a good 3 to 4 hours if an eye shadow primer is applied prior to the application of these eye shadows. But, the shades are very powdery and chalky, which makes it difficult to blend while wanting to create different eye looks. Some of the shades just don’t show up at all even after multiple swipes. This is not something that is expected from NYX. In all, for the price, the pigmentation is not so great and the blendability is also just mediocre. I wouldn’t really recommend this and I didn’t like this palette as well.

Would I repurchase or recommend this?

Rating: 2.5/5

Glossypolish verdict: The NYX palette is not a great buy since the pigmentation is very poor and the shades are chalky. Some shades don’t show up and the price is pretty high, so this product is definitely not recommended.

MyGlamm English Rose Lipstick Review

by Nishtha Narang November 14, 2023

written by Nishtha Narang

Who is it for? MyGlamm English Rose Lipstick is for you if you prefer smooth, creamy and glossy textures. When you purchase the lipstick, the website says ‘Let your lips do the talking’ and I completely agree with it. We all need a favorite lip color! Did Manish Malhotra’s collection make the cut? Let’s find out.

Price:

The lipstick costs ₹950 (4gms).

MyGlamm English Rose Lipstick

My Experience with MyGlamm English Rose

Packaging:

The lipstick is black and golden on the outside. The color, manufacturing date, date of expiry and the weight of the product are written on the bottom. All lipsticks are of this standard color and are not differentiated according to the shade.

Shade:

The shade is ‘English Rose’. It is a pink-purple shade. It is a bit light in color. The shade works perfectly with any traditional or western outfit. The color is more alluring during the day.

Texture and Pigmentation:

These extra-shine ranges of lipsticks are easy to apply. It is very smooth, much like butter. The even texture makes it different from most lipsticks. Once applied, it stays evenly on the lips. The vibes are much like a lip balm.

Effectiveness and Staying Power:

It is not a long lasting lipstick. After one or two hours, it starts to wear off, especially when you eat or drink. This lipstick is not transfer proof. You will have to reapply it every once a while for the lipstick to last.

What do I like?

Manish Malhotra is a huge brand and therefore I was very excited to purchase this lipstick. The brand name sure helps.
The color is different than the usual pink lipsticks.
It can be easily closed (magnetic) and there is no fear of lipstick opening when its inside the bag.
The lipstick has a pleasing fragrance.
It looks very aesthetic.
The removal of this lipstick is easy. It can be wiped off using wet tissues or even a damp cloth.

What I don’t like?

It is priced heavily.
The lipstick does not last for more than 2 hours.
Lips feel very oily on applying the lipstick.
You need to reapply it every few hours.

My Rating:

3/5

Would I recommend or repurchase?

I would not. There are a lot of other lipsticks available at affordable prices. For such a huge amount, the quality should be flawless, but it is not. If you want to use it purely because of the brand, you can do so. According to me, it does not give a full value for money.

Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146 Review

by Nikhita Ferreira November 14, 2023

written by Nikhita Ferreira

Who is it for? Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146 isFor those looking for a reasonably priced peach shade of eye shadow.

Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146

Price

INR 160

My experience with the Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146

Packaging

So, I really like Miss Claire eye shadow packaging even though it’s really simple. The product comes in a round container which is black and the cover has a transparent top to it, which allows you to see the exact shade of the product.

Shade

So, when you see the shade, it’s a peach like color. Even when you swatch it on your hand, it had a peach tint to it. Unfortunately though, when applied on the eyelids, the same shade doesn’t show through. It looks more like a shade of gold with just a hint of peach when you look really close.

Suitability

I feel like this particular shade might work better for lighter skin tones and will show the exact shade. On my medium tone, it doesn’t show so well.

Staying Power

Sometimes, when I use any eye shadow and the weather isn’t great, the product starts creasing a bit on my lids and eventually fades off. But with this, that didn’t happen. It stayed in place till I used a remover to get off all my makeup. In fact, I even rubbed on my lids but everything stayed in place.

Waterproof

I’m really impressed with this. This eye shadow is completely waterproof. I used water to rinse my face, but nothing came off!!

Affordability

I’d say it’s fairly priced. It’s not expensive at all.

Overall Performance of Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146

What do I like?

Packaging
Shade
Affordable
Waterproof
Long lasting

What do I not like?

Might work better for lighter skin tones
Weak pigment

Would I repurchase & recommend?

Would I repurchase? No. The only reason is that this particular shade didn’t work for me. Would I recommend? For sure. If your skin tone is on the lighter side, I’d say go for it. It could look really pretty.

My Experience with Incolor Intense Eyeliner

Packaging

This rich eyeliner comes with a long handle which results in easy grip and can be applied with accuracy. This incolor intense liner gives the optimum control thanks to its grip zone applicator. For a quick touch up this lightweight eyeliner is best to carry inside the handbag.

This liner has a water-resistant property which is able to withstand the sweat, humidity, tears and more with minimal smudging and intense definition. In a single steady stroke, it enhances the shape of the eye and provides a stylish and intense line. It doesn’t fade or fall out and as a result, gives a perfect matte finish look.

The products in Clinique are tested on people for allergic reactions prior to launching in the market. They collaborate with physicians and clinicians to give the best skincare and makeup products.

Clinique Chubby Stick Voluptuous Violet Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm Review

How to use

Swipe on lips and go, conquer the world!

My experience with Clinique Chubby Stick Voluptuous Violet

Clinique is one of my favorite brands. Their products are just flawless. They have some of the best skin care as well as makeup products. The first time I brought this chubby stick, I was in love with it. Even though it is on the pricier side, it is worth the money. My go-to shade is “voluptuous violet”. This gives a pink sheen to the lips, which doesn’t really shine but keeps the lips moisturized for really long.

Packaging

It comes in a cute tube like container which can be opened and closed according to usage.

Fragrance

The shade I own has a fruity fragrance; the fragrance mainly depends on the shade of the chubby stick since it comes with a particular flavor.

Experience

A big advantage is that it instantly moisturizes the lips and gives a hint of color which stays for almost 5 hours. It can be applied during the daytime and since it is not sticky, it is not attracted by dirt. Also, since it can be turned out and in, it doesn’t need to be sharpened.

Clinique Chubby Stick Voluptuous Violet Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm Review 4

Pros

Moisturizes the lips
Long lasting power
Gives a beautiful tint
Mild fragrance
Doesn’t need to be sharpened
Lightweight
Can be used on a daily basis

Cons

Pricey

Would I repurchase or recommend?

YES. I would recommend it to every person, dry lips, chapped lips, normal lips or dull lips. I will definitely repurchase other shades since they all look so beautiful and attractive. I would give it 5/5, forget the price, it is worth every rupee and it is ok to binge on shopping once a while, what say ladies?!

Bharat and Dorris Loose Powder : Best Setting Powder in India

by Ameya Sharma November 14, 2023

written by Ameya Sharma

Its summer time, and all of us girls who have to travel and stay out in the sun almost all day know the struggle of wearing makeup and keeping your face sweat and oil-free at the same time.That’s why, I’m sure you all will agree that in this weather, face powder is a necessity.It not only sets your makeup and makes it last longer, it’s also essential life-changing for a make-up free look.Not all of us can afford high-end products, and it doesn’t do a little harm to be cost effective for a product that you need to use on a daily basis.Therefore, this is a review of the Bharat and Dorris Loose Powder. It might just be the Best Setting Powder.

Price: 550rs for 20gm

Bharat & Dorris Loose Powder Review 3

My Experience with Bharat and Dorris Loose Powder

The Bharat and Dorris Loose Powder come packed neatly in a black box with the B&D logo, inside which is a circular plastic container. Inside the container is the odorless loose powder, separated from the cushion-sponge applicator, by a plastic lid with small openings.

For using the product, you must slightly shake it so the powder comes out of the openings and onto the sponge. If you prefer using a brush, you can do this step after removing the sponge from the container.

Bharat & Dorris Loose Powder Review 2

Its consistency is that of a fine powder which blends into a creamy texture on your skin.

The reason why I wanted to try a loose powder is that I have extremely oily skin, and I needed something more effective than a compressed powder to keep my skin matte and grease free all day. For a first try at a product I was otherwise unfamiliar with, buying a really expensive product seemed like an unwise choice.

It would be safe for me to say that the Bharat and Dorris Loose Powder has met my expectations. You can use it with a brush or with the cushion-sponge applicator, for a bare clean face look or underneath your foundation, and it will work just the same.

It will set your makeup and absorb your oil, leaving your face looking smooth and airbrushed.

Pro Tip: After you’ve applied your make-up (or primed your skin for a no-makeup look), dip a blending sponge in the powder and apply it liberally on your T-zone, under your eyes or wherever you get most oily. After a few minutes, dust the white layer of powder off. This method will ensure that most of your oil gets absorbed by the powder. (You can skip this step if you have dry skin and apply it normally with your brush all over your face.)

Bharat & Dorris Loose Powder Review 4

Pros:

Cost Effective/Affordable
Easy to Use
Can be used with or without make-up
Comes in 7 shades
Lasts Longer than Compressed Powder

Cons:

Packaging
Numbering on shades is misleading
Availability

Rating: 4/5

Would I recommend this product?

I would highly recommend it. It’s a must-have for the summer, it’s easy to use, effective and affordable. If you find it difficult to figure out which shade will work best with your skin, buy the translucent shade No. 1. It is a colorless shade which will work just as well, with any skin color.

My Experience With Swiss Beauty Baked Blusher And Highlighter 04

Packaging:

The product comes in a black square box with all the details about the product mention on it. It has a transparent plastic flip top. The packaging isn’t very sturdy and looks bit cheap but that is not a big concern considering the price it comes at.

Texture:

It has powdery consistency and the pigmentation is quite good. There is a lot of fall out when product is applied with a brush.

It has very mild weird fragrance. It somewhat smells like a watercolor.

How to use:

After apply the base, apply the product on the apples of the cheek with fingers or a brush. Blend the product evenly for more natural look.

Effectiveness:

It easily blends into the skin and gives fresh glowing tint to the face. There is a lot of fall out when applied with a brush so one needs to be careful with that.

Staying Power:

It is not a long lasting blush. It starts fading off after 2 hours of application.

My Experience:

I m honestly not into shimmer blushes but this blush is quite good. Little bit of product gives a good color payoff. The product is highly pigmented and looks good on my skin. It gives more of a natural look and skin feels radiant.

Overall Performance of Swiss Beauty Baked Blusher And Highlighter 04

Pros:

Super affordable
Travel friendly
Light weight
Highly pigmented
Gives natural glow

Cons:

Fades away after 2 hours
Fall out when applied with brush

HUDA Beauty Icon Review

by Meghal Choudhary November 14, 2023

written by Meghal Choudhary

HUDA Beauty Icon Review: Hey,Today I will be doing a review on HUDA Beauty Icon Liquid Matte Lipstick. It is a classic peachy pink in shade, completely a new shade in my collection. HUDA lipsticks turn out to look different on everyone depending on the skin tone.

Basic info of HUDA Beauty Icon Liquid Matte Lipstick

Price:

27$ for 2.5 ml.

How to use:

Prep your lips: To improve the consistency of application, gently exfoliate with a lip scrub. Blot off any excess oils.
For maximum impact, line lips using the Huda Lip Contour Matte Pencil and fade towards the center.
Apply a thin layer of Liquid Matte in the corresponding or lighter shade to fill in the rest.
Allow approximately 30 seconds for the color to set and intensify to an opaque finish. Color appearance may vary based on skin tone.

My experience with HUDA Beauty Icon Liquid Matte Lipstick

The shade Icon By HUDA Beauty is a matte lipstick so I usually exfoliate my lips to get all the dead skin off and hydrate well before applying it, as you don’t want your lips to flack after application. It goes on like a gloss but dries to a matte. It takes 10-15 sec. to settle down like matte. It sets in smooth, does not flake, transfer or smudge. It is a waterproof formula. It smells a bit like coconut to me, which I like.

It comes in a clear frosted glass like a bottle with a soft wand to apply the product. It’s pretty and simple. The wand helps reach out all corners and easy application.

The product is a bit runny but well pigmented and opaque. There are no issues applying even because of runny texture. The shade looks different depending on the skin tone. It darkens a bit after application. It is a classic peach pink in color.

The overall performance of HUDA Beauty Icon Liquid Matte Lipstick

Pros:

Matte finish
Long lasting
Does not transfer
Well pigmented
Opaque
Pretty packing
Good applicator
Nice fragrance
No Parabens

Cons:

Runny formula
Feels dry after some time

Would I recommend HUDA Beauty Icon Liquid Matte Lipstick

I like the shade Icon and would recommend this product and try on more shades available. It just needs more hydration, which we can give by applying a lip balm under it.

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick Review

by V Sravanti November 14, 2023

written by V Sravanti

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick Review: Hello, all beauties!!I am sorry for reviewing all MAC PRODUCTS back to back, but my love for MAC simply can’t be expressed. As already told, possessing luxurious brands makes you feel more confident and gets that lovely and lively look to your face.MAC is an abbreviation for make-up art cosmetics. The reason this has become very popular, and in fact a costly brand among all other cosmetic brands is, lip colors of other brands didn’t seem so attractive and had lack of proper shades that would aid in good photography. As a result, the primary makers of MAC prepared such colors in their kitchen and sold them from a hair salon. These entrepreneurs became successful in storming their product in the industry and brought to us, these wonderful shades of cosmetics.The professional eye studios became very famous and this brand has never lost its beauty.Today it is the MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick.

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick 2

Details about MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick

Price – 1500 rupees

Net quantity- 3 grams

Shelf life- three years from the date of manufacture.

How to apply – the lipstick can be applied directly after the lipstick emerges out of the lipstick twister. Sources say that applying this using a brush resulted in the greater saving of the mass for a longer time. To make your lipstick stay for a longer time, apply a base coat of some vaseline or a matching shade lip liner so that you can reduce the frequency of touch up required.

My experience with MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick

The shade is absolutely a must possess one. The look it gives to your lips is absolutely incomparable with ones given by similar shades of other brands. The product has also clicked in the market because of its lovely shade and color, and the easily gliding application on your lips.

The color is awesome and doesn’t come out patchy. The overall look is pretty and is suitable for application in formal or informal events.

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick 3

Overall performance of MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick

This viva glam series of MAC has a specialty and that is the sales of these products contribute to AIDS foundation, helping women and children fight it. The packaging is done inside a red twister, and this stands for donations done and not a single penny of sales of this series of lipsticks is bound to MAC. This is most probably the only brand which has taken this initiative for a better society.

Color- a slight matte+ shimmery orangish-pink shade

Packaging – the brand MAC is represented in black color and all its packaging is generally done in black short boxes. The identity of the shade is written at the bottom of the lipstick and all the bottom of the box holding the lipstick too.

You can simply get the lipstick out of the box by plucking the cap of the cardboard box and enjoy its application.

Pros –

Lovely shade
Awesome staying power
Suits any make up style and any outfit
Glides smoothly and effortlessly on lips

Cons –

Expensive
Dupes present in other brands

Is it recommended?

I rate the product a 4.5 star out of 5 because of the cons, yet is a must possess for every girl.

I love it a lot that it never goes into my closet out of my purse.

Buy this and I’m sure you’ll love it too!!

This is the end of the review! I hope you buy this and drop your experiences with the product too.

Take care guys!! Look graceful and stay smart!!!
