Swatches

I hope you can see the fine golden shimmer

In sun light

Spice reminds me of the gorgeous Rekha, it’s a beautiful chocolate brown shade with golden shimmer. Although it’s not my shade and I might never wear it (unless I do a Rekha inspired makeup look) but I really liked the shade. I just love the fine golden shimmer in this lipstick and I looks gorgeous in sunlight.

My Verdit

Sadly because of the shade provided by the company I wasn't able to wear it out to test it, I wore it a couple of times at home and I am really impressed with the texture and staying power of the lipstick. This shade is highly pigmented and in one swipe you can get intense colour. Its soft and silky and goes smooth on lips. It sets in few minutes after application so you don’t need to worry about its bleeding, as dark colours are tricky to apply and carry off.

I wore this shade for 4-5 hours and it stayed as it is without transferring on my hand when I kissed it to test. Once the lipstick is set it goes matte.

Overall it’s a pretty good lipstick with good staying power . Gives a matte finish without drying out my lips.

Its abnormal but true that I don’t have anything bad to say about this lipstick, although the shade din’t work out for me but it’s a nice formula in a nice sleek packaging.

My little story behind getting this lipstick
I actually went to buy Revlon Just Bitten Stain but the SA told me about this ultimate suede lipstick and that it was launched just few days back. I though i'll check review first but the lady seriously had good marketing skills, she swatched some lovely shades on my hand and the lipstick felt like butter, so smooth and silky.. she went on praising the lipstick and she was wearing it on too. She used words like stain , velvety . long lasting , moisturizing... and 5 minutes later i was at the counter with this lipstick i my hand.

The shade i got is Socialite, it looks dark and mauve-ish in the tude but in lips or hand it looks like pink-ish , peach-ish, i really had a hard time to put down this shade in words. Take a look

THE HEART INSIDE

Our Colour Crush Eyeshadows benefit from a blend of Community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil, marula oil, honey, organic virgin coconut oil and sesame oil. Our community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil comes from the Candela co-op in Peru. The ‘castaneros’ or nut gatherers collect the broken nuts that can’t be sold for food use and hand-crack them to extract the oil. Trade has helped to protect 3,000 hectares of rainforest in the Madre de Dios region. Sustainable harvesting also helps to support the indigenous species that depend on the Brazil nut tree, such as the orchid bee.

100% CRUELTY-FREE

We’ve worked hard to ensure that our Colour Crush collection features the most intensely vibrant, fashion-driven shades whilst remaining vegetarian and 100% cruelty free, like all our products.

Colour Crush does not contain any bug shell extract to colour the product, any shimmer effect is made from mineral mica and the binding agents are made from natural vegetable materials instead of crushed shellfish. Because our love for animals includes bugs, insects and other creepy crawlies.

Backstage Secrets

Lan Nguyen-Grealis, Head make-up artist for the Fashion Scout, home of new talent and the largest independent event during London Fashion Week, is loving the colour crush collection. She shares her backstage secrets to getting spring/summer 2013’s intense eye-looks.

WHAT MAKEUP LOOKS ARE HOT ON THE CATWALK THIS SEASON?

“This season, eye-looks are bold and vibrant in pigment colour. Statement eyes are a must. The new range of Colour Crush eye colours is great to use - the shadows glide on easily and last a long time, which is ideal for show work. All the colours work really well for this season’s trends.”

WHAT MAKES COLOUR CRUSH SO EASY TO WORK WITH?

“The Colour Crush shades are simple to apply directly on to the eye area, you can layer on as much as you please. The colours look different depending on how much you apply, which is great to get tonal graduation. From dark to light is easy to achieve without having to blend too much.”

WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT COLOUR CRUSH?

“Every colour you see is exactly the colour you get when you use it. The biggest surprise is how vibrant the colours are and how some unusual tones can look amazing on the eyes, such as Chat-Up Lime and Something Blue.”

WHAT ’S YOUR FAVOURITE SHADE IN THE COLOUR CRUSH RANGE?

“My most favourite shades this season, for versatility and for everyday use, are Moonlight Kiss and Caramel Flirt.”

THE BRIGITTE SUPER FLICK

Lan says: “The Brigitte Super Flick was created for Ekaterina Kukhareva for her SS13 collection. “Goddess in St. Tropez” was the theme, taking inspiration from the 60’s fashion icon Brigitte Bardot. The mood is happy, care free, glamorous and sexy. Eyes headline the look as bright colours take on a geometric shape with a super flick set against a canvas of flawless skin.”

Step One

Using the Slanted brush, sweep the new Colour Crush in shade 510 Something Blue along the lash line, starting at the inner corner of the eyes and finishing with a flirty, 60’s flick past the outer corners.

Step Two

Take the Eyeshadow brush, dampen it for even more intense colour and apply more eyeshadow all over the eye-lids, up to the crease of the eye.

Step Three

Highlight brows and open the eyes by running the new Colour Crush in Shade 001 Sugar Gaze along the brow bone.

Step Four

Curl lashes and apply two coats of The Body Shop Define & Lengthen Mascara in 01 Black, to the top lashes only.

GET A FLAWLESS COMPLEXION

To create a naturally flawless complexion, apply Oil Free Balancing Liquid Foundation using the Foundation brush and blend well for seamless, even coverage. Use the Radiant Highlighter on the highest points of the face – forehead, temples and cheek bones, down the centre of the nose, across the cupids bow of the lip and onto the chin – blending well, to create a luminous finish. For a fresh, rosy glow, smile and sweep All-in-One Cheek Colour in 04 Marshmallow onto the apple of the cheeks, blending to a sheer wash of colour.

Mila Kunis inspired step-by-step makeup tutorial.

Whenever i post a video on YouTube i feel bad for my followers/viewers in Pakistan as YouTube is banned there , and they always request me to do picture tutorials on my blog, so today i thought of breaking down my tutorials into this post, and from next time i'll try to post pictures from the tutorial.

So , this was the inspiration picture

For my face i used pond BB+ cream

then applied eyeshadow base on my lids , underbrows , on my lower lash line and at inner corners.

For the lid colour I used a taupe eyeshadow from BH cosmetics (BHWS18) , its really a close dupe for MAC stain Taupe.

For crease colour and to blend the taupe eyesahdow I used Inglot matte eyesadow 363.

For highlighting I used buttermilk nude from coastal scents with a big fluff brush.

Now, come the main part the liner, I wanted to make my eyes look little droopy and long, so with pencil liner i made my eye look a little rounder by keeping the line thick on the middle and extending it outwards and then making it slightly winged from the extended line not from the corner of my eye.

Blend with a eyeliner brush ,  next set with a black eyeshadow

For the lower part I lined my lower lashline with Lakme eyeconic kajal and bended everything with the same matte brown eyeshadow.

Curl your lashes and apply good amount of mascara , I also added some false lashes just on the out corner to make my eyes looks droopy , sleepy and long.

Conceal the undereye are and set it with powder
 I complete the look with a soft pink lipstick.

Here are snapshots from the video,

TRESemmé India Ramp Ready Hair - Side Ladder Braid Contest Entry

Hey guys,

So todays post is kinda different , related to beauty but not actually my forte… hairstyles , i came across TRESemmé Ramp ready hair contest on Indiblogger.in and I thought of challenging myself to try something new rather than my normal special occasion curls.

I visited TRESemme India Youtube channel  and I watched some hairstyle, honestly I really liked the summarised  short tutorials , they are really easy to follow and you serious don’t require too many products.

I still remember I used to watch other YouTuber gurus using TRESemme products and I always wished to get my hands on it. Then,  when finally TRESemme products came in Indian market I used all the shampoos and conditioners , but am still looking forward to try their hair styling products.

So, for this contest contestant had to either recreate any of the looks from the TRESemme India YouTube Channel or create something new and unique.

For me , its not about a pretty hairstyle to be “ramp ready “ its more about healthy and beautiful hair. If your hair is healthy and strong you can rock any hairstyle, so its really important to take care of your hair at first place and follow a haircare routine that suit your hair needs.

For some time I have been using TRESemme hairfall control Shampoo and conditioner for damaged and breakage- prone hair.

I decided to do something edgy  and unique but I it just looked simple in my imagination.. sigh !!

So , I changed my mind and I thought of doing something which feminine , soft , easy but little different. For me nothing is more feminine  than braids and curls , so I did a different braid , so called a ladder side braid and curled my bangs. Simple and Pretty.

Today, it was just not my day , there was frequent power cuts and someone or  the other was visiting my mum, so I quicky curled my hair and i created this ladder braid in the car.. :P

I hope you liked my effort and don’t forget to visit TRESemme YouTube Channel to get inspired to create something new and easy.

I also used this shampoo in my YouTube Video HERE.

Wish me Luck !! :P
