Crush On You
Our Colour Crush™ Lipstick collection marries our most intense, full-on colours with luscious moisture. Our secret?

We think our pink and violet shades are to-die-for; try Red Hot Raspberry 201 for a fierce fuchsia that packs a punch
And for easy-to-wear elegance, slick on beautiful beige; one of our favorites is Coral Kiss 315, a shimmering peachy nude.

DIY : Primer that works just as fine as a Day Cream too !!!

12.11.13 28 Comments
Hola Chicas,
Until I was introduced to the beauty blogging world,I thought Primers are just for the walls and furniture. Though I don't claim to be absolutely ignorant about makeup before blogging happened,but Primer was one thing I was totally oblivious off. But with more reading and the ever growing contacts with you guys made me aware of ..... Primers...along a few other things!
All right,now this one's a DIY in the truest of the sense as all of us have almost all the ingredients athome.
Lets take a look at what all you'll need:
  • Aloevera gel
  • Face moisturiser
  • Foundation (that matches)
  • Container with lid
  • Spoon/Spatula for mixing
Here,I am using Patanjali Aloevera Gel, Avon Nourishing Cream and Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation. But you can use any moisturiser and foundi...aloevera gel is a must!!
All you need to do is:
  • Take a clean container,wipe the container,lid and mixing spoon  off with some rubbing alcohol to sanitize it.
  • Mix Aloevera gel, Moisturiser and Foundation in 2:1:1 ratio,that is two parts of aloevera gel and one part of moisturiser and foundation each and mix well.
  • Remember the ratio may vary according to the climate and skin type. Eg. More moisturiser in winters and for dry skinned people.
Tadaaaa.. Your homemade primer is ready. Apply this before using a foundation for that flawless looking you and to make your makeup stay longer on you :)
Although I just apply this and a concealer and I'm good to go as this itself has foundation in it..So,if you are looking for less coverage, just this would suffice.
That's it for today..hope you liked !!!

Ayur Herbal Deep Pore Cleansing Milk: Review

8.11.13 65 Comments
Like I said before... Getting dolled up is our birth right but removing the paint and powder is our fundamental duty and practically off all the sins a woman can commit 'sleeping with makeup on' scores to be the biggest one ;)
Luckily,the markets today are flooded equally with the stuffs to put on and then the stuffs to take it all off. After a heartbreaking experience with Himalaya Herbals Deep Cleansing Milk,I thought of giving this cheap baby a shot !!!
Read on to know how it fared:
Company Claims and Directions to Use:
Price Vs.Quantity: INR 65/ 200ml

Ingredients:
Packaging:
Ayur Herbal Deep Pore Cleansing Milk comes in a non-fussy see-through plastic bottle with a flip cap. The amount of the product can be controlled, the bottle can be carried around and the amount of product left can be seen...I don't ask for more...Period!

My Take:
After a not-so good experience with cleansing milks earlier,I went back to the good ol' baby oil for that 'no trace of makeup left' kinda feeling. And then a stroll to the local grocery store got me this Ayur Herbal Deep Pore Cleansing Milk .... and I thank the grocery store for this :P This is my first brush with the brand.
Well,actually I got this in summers but I wanted to wait till cooler times arrive coz my earlier one used to thicken badly enough in winters. But this one sticks to its consistency irrespective of the weather.
Its neither too thick nor runny,just the perfect consistency for a cleansing milk. The colour is milky white and it has an artificial floral smell which isn't overwhelming, infact I like it!
The best part.....it cleanses realllly well.. you can see the collage below for reference: (with a foundation as a base)


 *1. Faces Moisture Extreme lipstick in French Rose, 2. Nyx Round Lipstick in Spell Bound, 3. Faces Satin Matte Lipstick in Cafe'Latte Brown, 4. Avon Glimmersticks Diamond Eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle and 5. Eyeshadow from the Maybelline Chai Latte Quad

The after feeling is such a non-greasy,moisturised skin..love it!
What really took me by surprise was that it did not just take the makeup off,I tried using it on a bare face (all the drills of being a beauty blogger) and it removed the dirt as well  *happy dance*

My Likes:
1. Removes every trace of makeup well.
2. Removes dirt from bare skin.
3. Nice fragrance.
4. Practical packaging.
5. See through bottle.
6. Correct consistency.
7. Leaves skin smooth and supple.
8. Super affordable (infact haven't heard of anything cheaper)
9. For all skin types.
10. Very easily available.

My Dislikes:
Has a whole list of chemicals in its ingredients...Herbal? Duh!!!

Last Word: Even though it has parabens..its the best cleansing milk for the price of it,infact better than its costlier counterparts..Loved it!!

Repurchase: It will be my HG <3

Over All Rating: 5/5 (no deductions for what-so-ever)
