I got this particular mascara with my Estee Lauder Cosmetic Beauty Defining 5 pc Travel kit , which I ordered from Amazon. Out of all the five products I got, this mascara was the only one that had the quantity of sample size(3.5 ml) instead of regular travel sized (7 ml) one, but that is just a little less than the full sized product quantity, so can't complain on that!  I've used it four times till date, and have really liked the effects it gave. As, it was just the sample size, I thought of reviewing it here today. What does Estee Lauder say about its MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara? An advanced mascara to emphasize your lashes. Instantly increases thickness & fullness of lashes by 3 times. Unique streamlined Speed-Meter Brush design coats every single lash evenly. Dispersed pigments intensify color 30% more with moisturizing property to help prevent breakage flaking or clumping Fragrance free suitable for contact lens wearers &

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick – Peach Though this lipstick has been a major hit amongst most of the beauties, and has been quite bragged about, I still felt like reviewing it here just to share my experience. I bought Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Peach shade, after seeing its review on IMBB. Frankly speaking, when I went to the Revlon counter and asked about this particular lipstick, I found the swatch quite scary. I thought it’d look frosty and too pale on my lips. But, when I applied it on lips, it instantly brightened up my face and looked really beautiful and natural. This has been my HG lipstick since then and I absolutely love everything about it. Let’s get to the review now: What does Revlon say about its Colorburst range of lipsticks?

Syoss Professional Performance Repair Therapy Shampoo During my visits to Germany, I spend a lot of time watching TV commercials, because of the only reason that I can somehow understand bits and pieces of them. I wasn't intending to buy any huge bottles, during my last trip, but I was so much intrigued by Syoss's continuous ads on the television, that I decided to give it a shot. I bought Syoss professional repair therapy shampoo from Muller mall, Germany. It has been 3 months now, since I've been using this shampoo and hence thought of reviewing it here. Check the ad below: What does the brand say about this product? He he..Let me translate that for you: Syoss - professional hair care products: Powerful varieties of high-quality care ingredients for perfectly groomed hair - every day, like right in accordance with the cultivated salon hairdresser.

I dared to try this look, after getting all positive comments from all of you on my easy smokey eye look. This is my first attempt to an almost full version of a smokey eye look. If you like it, you can read the tutorial below: For eyes: 1) Prep and prime your eyelids to make them the perfect canvas for colors. 2) Apply skin colored blush all over your lid till the browbone. 3) Smokey eyes usually require highlighting your browbone. For most of the Indian skin tones, using white can look too stark and OTT, so I am using a slightly neutral skin color for highlighting. The highlighter from Maybelline's Chai Latte Quad can work excellently here. 4) Apply a shimmery brown eyeshadow all over the lid, till the crease and feather it out. I have applied Inglot shade - #422 5) Take a matte/shimmer bright color of your choice. I am taking Inglot's red color, i.e. shade 382 from my inglot palette using a flat brush and tapping it at the center of the lids.It is a matte red

I tried doing this easy smokey golden eye look using my Inglot palette. The look was quite easy and somehow turned out quite good. I don't think photographs are doing any justice to how it turned out, but still I am sharing it with you. Below are the products I used:  Steps taken: 1) Prep your face with foundation, concealer and compact so that it becomes the perfect canvas for your makeup. 2) It is very necessary that your dark circles are completely made invisible for any smokey eye look, be it soft one or dramatic one to pop out well. For that I applied my skin colored blush too over the concealer and compact. Also prep your eyes with primer and compact 3) I took the highlighter shade from my NYC palette, using a fluffy brush and highlighted my browbone, sweeping downwards. 4) I used the #430 from the Inglot Palette and applied it all over the lid using a flat brush. 5) I took the #422 shade from the Inglot palette using the sponge tip of an eyeshadow applicator and

I ordered this five piece Estee Lauder cosmetics travel kit from Amazon on January 27th, 2011, and I received the package today. What a lovely day to receive such things! I've always been quite impressed with the kind of packaging Amazon gives. The hardboard case, the thermocols and multiple levels of bubble wrapping around the products, makes it absolutely next to impossible for the package to get damaged in anyway on its own, unless you run a road-roller over it. I ordered for this particular kit, just because I wanted to try all of these stuffs, without having to spend a fortune on any. The package contains following products. I am mentioning the name along with the quantities here:

I don't have words for these surprises!! :) ..Just want to say "Thank you"!! :) An amazing Valentine's day greeting card Three books which I believe I will make most use of. It took him 2 hours to choose the books for me. He knows I am a voracious reader. Then some chocolates, a red rose, a beautiful pendant and studs This didn't come as a set. He selected the pendant first and then went on searching for the matching studs. He likes such cute small jewelry. Gosh! I am bowled over again! Life can be so beautiful sometimes!! :) A Very Happy and Amazing Valentine's day to you!! :) :) :)

I'd ordered a couple of stuffs from Oriflame a while back, and chose for "Home delivery" option with "Cash on Delivery" payment mode. However, since I stay at my office from morning 8:30 to evening 5:30, I've given my office address for delivery purpose. Twice it has happened that my Oriflame package went back, just coz the courier came after 5:30 by which I’d already left for home and none of the courier guys were willing to come to my home to give the package. This had been really frustrating for me, as there is no way I can tell while ordering as within what time should the package be delivered. There is no free delivery on Oriflame orders unless your order is for Rs.1500/- or more. And, when you are paying around 100 bucks extra just for delivery, you expect certain level of commitment. So, my last parcel went back for similar reasons. I ordered some less products again this time, for Rs.513/- this time (including delivery). I received my order on ti

I bought this particular lip color while my hunt for getting a long wearing lipstick, as I was quite fascinated with the concept. The moment I asked the SA at Health and Glow to get me such lipstick, she directed me to this particular product. I saw the swatch and it looked a bit glittery and glossy to me, which made me wonder how can this stay for long duration on my lips with such glossy finish. But, the SA told me that this would dry up and become matte after some seconds. Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick Nevertheless, I bought it. It has been a couple of months now since I've been using it and I'd been postponing the review till date. One of my readers - Dia requested me to post a review so here it comes!
