Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love this foundation from Maybelline fit me range, and this shade 230 - Natural buff almost feels like second skin on my skin and complexion. However, the way it stays put on my face is something I find slightly weird. I checked my shade online from reviews of various bloggers and got my perfect shade after reading the review on   corallista blog. I placed the order online on amazondotin and got it happily in my makeup kitty 😁 few months back. My joys held no bounds when I saw the way it so seamlessly blended into my skin and gave me an almost airbrushed finish, that too without the use of any primer. Total bliss 😇. However, after few hours of wearing it full on face, I saw that my face looked a lil darker. So, OMG 😱 it oxidizes after 3-4 hours of wearing....and bleh 😒 there goes my happiness down the drain. But, I loved the shade and the texture so decided to wear it like a concealer and not like a foundation. Somehow, it has...

Hello everyone, Today I am sharing with you my winter skincare routine. Check out the video for all the details: Kronokare Aromatherapy City Detox Face wash ( Reviewed here ): No matter how cold it is, I always start my day by washing my face. These days I am using Kronokare City Detox face wash to help me feel squeaky clean. Its a bit tough to take the product out, for reasons still unknown to me, but once its out, the face wash is really gentle to my skin and works well in making me feel refreshed. Kronokare Aromatherapy Flower Power Skin toner ( Reviewed here ): I have been using Kronokare flower power toner to tone my skin. All I do, is take the cap off and spray it on my skin. It feels amazing and I let it get absorbed into my skin before moving onto moisturization. The Inveda Papaya and Hibiscus Moisturizer has been my fav these days. Its a bit runny in texture, but works wonderfully well in keeping my combination skin well moisturized. Aroma Treasures U...

New Maybelline Colossal Kajal (12 hours formula) I reviewed the original Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal a while back HERE and also posted a video of its smudge test too. Today, I'd like to talk about the new improved version of the same Kajal that claims to stay for 12 hours without smudging or fading away. So did it stay true to its claim? Lets check it out below: Price: INR 175/- My experience with this kajal: The kajal comes in same packaging the way it used to come earlier. The yellow colored pencil with a twist up kajal inside makes it easy to apply without bothering to sharpen it every time. The kajal is intense black and gives gorgeous, smoldering black color in one swipe. It sets within seconds of application and doesn't smudge or budge at all. For testing the effectiveness of this kajal I wore it for 6-8 hours and in whole span I even washed my face many times with cold water. I quite liked the way this kajal stayed put without creating any mess around...
