L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara Extra Black The Millionizer brush has a multitude of bristles to separate lashes for a fanned-out lash effect. The elastomer applicator is ultra flexible with both long and short bristles to coat each lash evenly from root to tip. Price: INR 750/-  My experience with this mascara Mascaras are my absolute favorites and must haves in my makeup kit, and this mascara has been my current favorite of all! I absolutely love the way it gives a gorgeous volume and length to my lashes and make my eyes look lifted and bright in an instant. The lash brush gives a decent control on how I coat my lashes. The best thing about this mascara is that it never gave me spider lashes even with 3-4 coats . It might clump a little with 3-4 coats, but nothing unmanageable! The formula dries fast and maintains the curls of my lashes for hours. In fact, I've worn this mascara whole day and it just kept my lashes looking long, curled and beautiful all...

Hello everyone, I've already reviewed Essence Stay With Me Longlasting Lipgloss in shade "#06 - Berry Me " HERE , so won't go into a detailed review of these two shades as almost everything about the gloss, applicator, fragrance and consistency is same in all the three glosses I have from this range. However, as far as the shade and finish is concerned, there is slight difference that I noticed so here it goes: Swatches: Essence Stay with me Long lasting Lipglosses (L-R) - #2 My favourite Milk shake, #03 - Candy Bar: Essence Stay with me Longlasting Lipgloss - #02 - My favourite Milk shake As the name suggests, it is very light nude peach lip gloss and gives milky finish to the lips. It is a great lipgloss to wear with a smokey eye makeup look. I wore it in THIS makeup tutorial as well. It is very hydrating and moisturizing to my lips and stays put for around 2-3 hours even when I am drinking or eating in between. The finish is slightly transl...

L'Oreal Paris Color Accord Intense Riche Lipstick - Fever Brown #291 Price: INR 785 for 4.7 grams My experience with this lipstick If you are looking for a dark and rich colored drama lipstick, then this can be the perfect choice for you. The lipstick has a brownish plum shade and is loaded with micro-fine golden shimmers. In some way, it reminds me a lot of the Avon Ultra Moisture Gold Rich Lipstick - Golden Wine that I reviewed HERE a while back; just that this one is a bit brownish and more plum than the Avon one. The lipstick has a smooth texture and glides on well on my lips. The shade is super opaque and gives a nice rich color on one swipe. You can see visible golden shimmers right away. It has super glossy finish and looks beautiful on application. The shade though has a tendency to give you more "matured" look, however I feel it can look wonderful with Indian ethnic wears . Since the lipstick is quite in itself enough to make a statement, I usually ...

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Les Ombres (Eyeshadow Quad) E6 - Eau De Rose My experience with this quad If you love neutral smokey eyes with a hint of pink in it, then this can be a perfect buy for you. I got it with a shade shattered, however it has been ok and usable to me so far. I just need to be careful to keep the quad in one position always. The shades are well built to compliment each other and give a soft smokey look which can be intensified as per the need. All the shades have shimmery-shiny finish without glitter, to make your eyes dazzle and sparkle in any day-time or night time makeup look. The shades give smooth finish, have super soft texture that makes the application a breeze, and these are decently pigmented as well. Let us get to the each shade now: The top most shade is a champagne colored one that can be perfect for highlighting. I usually use it to highlight the areas under my eyebrows and inner eye corners. It helps in giving eyes a lift and avoids ...
