L’Oreal Paris Kajal Magique Review!!

Helllooowww galllzz!! Bought a new product again from +Flipkart - A L'Oreal Paris Kajal Magique. I was very excited to wear it on my eyes since the day I ordered it.
And now that I have received it, I apply it daily on my eyes.(Thanks to +Flipkart for the fast delivery :D ) I am fond of eye make-up and I love collecting everything that make my eyes look even more beautiful and attractive!! xoxo I never leave my home without applying a kajal on my eyes!!!!

So here comes my views about it.!! 

 I love that metallic pink on the black color. It is a retractable pencil and is very sleek. I am sure everyone will love the cute packaging of
L'Oreal Paris Kajal Magique.

The Kajal is formulated with care ingredients and gives a soothing feeling. It is powered with mineral pigments for deep intense color.

It has a soft and creamy texture.It glides smoothly under and above the eyes without any tugging. The supreme black is not that intense as I expected :(
I have to swipe it multiple times on my waterline to get that intense black pigmentation. 

I have extremely watery eyes and still it does not smudge. It claims to last for up to 12 hours, but it starts losing its intensity after 5-6 hours and then I have to swipe it again to get the darker look.







    NET WEIGHT: 0.35gm

    PRICE:  Rs 245/-
    SHELF LIFE: 30 Months














The PROS and CONS of the L`Oreal Paris Kajal Magique:




  PROS:

 * Comes in attractive packaging.
 * It does not smudge.
 * It is long lasting and waterproof.
 * Easily available.
 * It has soft texture.

CONS:

* It is not the darkest black.
* Needs multiple swipes to get that intense look.

RATINGS:  4.5/5

L`Oreal Paris Kajal Magique is really a smudge proof and waterproof kajal. It is very good for oily lids.If you want the intense black look then I think you should skip it but if you like experimenting with kajals then it is totally worth it.!!! XOXO

L`OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH SUPER BLENDABLE FOUNDATION REVIEW!!

Hello galsss!! Bought a new foundation of   +L’OrĂ©al Paris India from +Flipkart recently. 

It is wedding season and all my foundations 
got over so decided to buy this one.  I bought the N1 "IVORY" shade and it is really a true match for my skin.

Let me share my views about it with you all.


It comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser and a cap.It is super blendable and blends easily into the skin. The foundation has a very light texture and makes your skin feel light and airy.It comes in many shades and can be used on all skin types but if you have very oily skin then you must use a oil control primer before applying it.

It gives a natural look so it is hard for anyone to tell that you have makeup on ( only if you use the right shade). 
If you want to wear it for a long time then dust a translucent powder on your face after applying it.





 NET WEIGHT: 30 ML
 PRICE: Rs 975/-
 SHADE: N1 IVORY













The PROS and CONS of the L`OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH SUPER BLENDABLE FOUNDATION :

PROS: 


* Blends easily into the skin.
* Gives a nice glowy finish.
* Has a very light and smooth texture.
* Gives great coverage.
* Price is good.

CONS: 

* Packaging is not that attractive.
* Can be a disaster for oily skin.











RATINGS:  4/5

I would definitely recommend this foundation to the natural skin types. It blends easily and gives a glowy finish.
If you have oily skin then spending Rs 975 on this product is not a good idea.

Asus Zenfone 6: The Design that I always wanted!


If you are someone like me, who goes for the design thing first in any mobile, then you have made your entry into my brethren! Well, seeing the commonly found designs these days, I decided to go for something that looked more urbane and contemporary, while at the same time, being different from the league. And I settled down at Asus Zenfone 6. While the company has put its clear vision into creation of this phablet, it is highly commendable that the smartphone has been made very “usable.”


Asus

If there is one thing that you will surely be glad about Asus Zenfone 6, is its building quality. The front area of this entire phablet is enveloped in Gorilla Glass 3, which means that the glass doesn’t need any screen protection! I for once, thanked this company for bringing out a mobile that did not need those protectors. Asus has already made its little baby, scratch-resistant. It surprised me, as to how Asus actually managed to fit so much into Zenfone 6, given its amazing price band.

 The micro SD card slot that you see beneath the cover, is actually a surprise package, but everything about Zenfone 6 makes it very flexible and of course, its users very happy!  One can make a best deal by buying it from Flipkart. To see the working of the phone, click here to view.

NATURAL REMEDIES TO REMOVE SUN TAN!!!

It is getting very hot in my city and I hate stepping out in the sun :( My skin is very sensitive and it gets tanned easily because of exposure to sun. 
I avoid using too much of chemicals on my skin to remove the sun-tan. I go for natural remedies to treat my tanned skin. Today I will share with you the best natural  remedy to treat the sun tan step by step.

STEP 1:
Take 1 tbsp of gram-flour (BESAN) in a bowl.
 
STEP 2:

Add a tsp of turmeric powder (HALDI POWDER)  to it!


















STEP 3:
Now add 2 tsp of curd (DAHI) to it.
 STEP 4:

Make a smooth paste.


















STEP 5:

Apply the paste all over your face and neck.  Leave it for 15 minutes and rub slowly with wet hands and then wash it off. You will notice the change instantly :)

If you have very dry skin then you can use milk cream(MALAI) instead of curd.

NOTE:
Some people just apply packs on the face and avoid the neck which is not at all right. Your skintone of face and neck should be even.

BEAUTY LIES IN YOUR KITCHEN :) NATURAL REMEDIES ARE THE BEST TO CURE ANYTHING!

An Unmatched Gadget I bought

An Unmatched Gadget I bought



Use it even with your gloves on
Asus Zenfone has been a pleasant surprise for me. I could never think that one would use it with gloves on. Technology redefined! Trust me I always thought touch could only sense bare finger. Wow! I am able to use it in winters with gloves on. Technology fabulously used. The Glove mode is just the feature is needed with the onset of the winters and the swipe-able keyboard is something that was a first time experience for me.
The battery performance I experienced from it is quite contrary to what I had heard. That’s why they say, you know it when you actually use it. I can just go tension-free for about good hours without having to charge my phone and mind you; my usage of the phone is not minimal by any means.  


Other beneficial features of Zenfone that caught my attention were the availability of a good range of custom apps. In addition, I can use the kid mode to the hide the apps that I don’t want my little one to fiddle around with and it also has the advantage of large icons in its easy mode that suits the needs of my elderly parents as well. 


Yes what would have made me more happy was a little bit more advanced and high resolution camera, nevertheless, I am happy with the other features of battery optimization like brightness control, memory cleaner that is built in and the availability of the settings icon on the top right which saves me the time of looking for it.Buy it from Flipkart.

Maybelline Superstay 14hr Infinitely Fuchsia Lipstick Review!!!


Hello friends!! As promised here comes my next post about my latest lipstick- The INFINITELY FUCHSIA from MAYBELLINE!!!
 
For me +Maybelline New York India has always been a pocket friendly brand. The quality is very good compared to lots of other  brands available in India. I can buy it without even testing on me. I always wanted a pink shade for myself and when I saw the Infinitely Fuchsia shade I bought it immediately :)

This shade is perfect for summers and looks cheerful,fun and bright! 

They smell of cherries and comes in a cute color coded packaging which helps in identifying the shades easily.

The lipstick doesn't give a velvety matte finish. It gives a semi matte finish. Though it doesn't last for 14 hours completely but starts to crack after few hours which makes the lips look chapped ( Applying a lip balm on it can prevent the dryness)



NET WEIGHT- 3.3 gm
PRICE-  Rs 525/-
COLOR-INFINITELY FUCHSIA
COLOR CODE-  160



















The PROS and CONS of the Infinitely Fuchsia!!



PROS:

*The shade is very vibrant and makes me
   look  pretty!! :)

*It has a color coded packaging which makes it  
  easier to locate.

*It is travel friendly.

*Only one coat is enough to give the matte finish 
  look !

CONS:

*The white cap makes it look like a local chinky 
  type lipstick!! ( This is the reason you won't find  
  the cap in the pics :p )

*It dries slightly after few hours.


RATINGS: 3.5/5

Overall I would say you should definitely give it a try!! :D A must have color for everyone!!
