Maybelline Lip Gradation in Mauve 1: Review, Price, Swatches and FOTD

Now,I'm not someone who unfailingly goes running to the brand counters every time the brand comes up with a new launch..yeaahhh yeeaahhh a lil' less tempted beauty blogger!!!!

But recently I've gone bonkers over nude lip colours and matte texture...like BONKERSSSS!!!

So couldn't really resist the temptation (of the shade and texture NOT the gradation thingy..yeah)

Off late Maybelline has been very generous with new launches and the latest kid on the block is the Maybelline Lip Gradation.

A few details in the pics below:

Price: INR 500/-

Maybelline Lip Gradation comes in a double-ended,twist up crayon like packaging. On one side is the lip colour while the other end has sponge tip. 5stars for being colour-coded. The outer cellophane has the important details...why oh! why,Maybelline don't yaa know we'll throw it away as soon as we get our hands on the product?The actual lip colour bullet/crayon/pencil/dunno..is slim enough to outline lips and thick enough to fill them (thumbs up on that). The cap click locks,so keep it in your bags ladies!!!

The Texture is to die for!!PERIOD!

It is smooth like a dream. It sets to a matte finish. You won't feel once you have something on your lips..
Do I need to say more?

Staying Power is somewhere between 4-5 hours with light meals and it doesn't go off completely..Like even after 7hours,it didn't make me look like a corpse :P Hehe...

Pigmentation is pretty good for a nude shade..My lips are pigmented and it fixed in just a coat...drumroll plz!!

It comes in 8 oh-already-seen kinda shades.. Yeahhh..trust me if you are a lippy enthusiast,you would be having a dupe of all..well almost!! Mauve 1 is a subtle mauvy brown colour. Very Safe shade as I would call it..It would suit probably all skin tones!

See how it looks in different lights and on me:

All in All I'm loving it as of now,the shade,the texture,the pigmentation and the staying power is all great for the price...what isn't great though is the price for the quantity.

I mean 1.25gm??? Is it a lip liner???

BBlunt Anti-Frizz Leave-in Cream: Review and Price

Budget Belleza 3.3.16 4 Comments

There are people with naturally healthy,luscious long,manageable hair and then there's me..
Like the rest of my body,my hair is dry too..(and that brings to my mind ...Do people with oily skin have oily scalp and hair as well?)
Anyway...
So having hair like that (read dry-damaged and curly) its blissful to try new hair products. Read on to know the experience with BBlunt Climate Control Anti-frizz Leave-in Cream.

BBlunt Climate Control Anti-Frizz Leave-In Cream:
Phewww..thats some product name!
Now that I have dry hair..conditioners,hair masks and serums are my best friends. I was happy to try out the anti-frizz leave-in cream. It comes with a pump dispenser that has a twist lock...Travel-Friendlyyyyy!!
Check out the Brand Claims/Directions to Use/Ingredients List/Price and Quantity in the pics below:

In my experience,it works well on my dry hair. They turned out to be a little more manageable and taming them open wasn't a mammoth task. But having said that,I would also like to mention that this would work better on normal hair because my hair is happier with serums than creams. It could be a matter of personal choice but for very dry hair,serums are easier to spread and last longer.
I love its smell. It has refreshing,clean,mild,perfume like fragrance.
Given the fact that it is an Indian brand,I would have preferred it at a lower cost.

BBlunt Back To Life Dry Shampoo: Price and Review

Budget Belleza 3.3.16 0 Comments

Dry Shampoos work by absorbing oil from your hair,and making it look and feel freshly washed again. It is not meant to replace your regular shampoo and water hair wash but only to use as an on-the-go product on certain days.
Now this was new for me..I wasn't into dry shampoos earlier!!
BBlunt Back to Life Dry Shampoo was sent to me along with the BBlunt Anti-frizz Cream.

Brand Claims:

Instant freshness is now a spray away.This dry shampoo(no water required) does a smooth job of absorbing excess grease and grime and revamps your hair in seconds.Don't leave home without it.

Directions for Use:

Shake well before use.Hold the can in an upright position,six inches away from the hair and spray evenly,close to the roots. Leave on for 2 minutes.Massage and brush thoroughly.

Alcohol Content:

Ethyl Alcohol (95%v/v)7.65 w/w with 5% Isopropyl Alcohol

Like I said...I'm new to this,hence my views are based on JUST this product sans any comparison to its counterparts from other brands. The Dry Shampoo comes in a spray bottle I used this on my unwashed hair of two days and to be true my dry hair doesn't get greasy easily to see how bouncy they turned out after the usage. Volume has never been an issue with me,taming the frizz has been. Moreover, I don't really advocate the idea of pouring a chemical in the roots and on scalp. Add to that the smell and content of alcohol (isopropyl alcohol is drying for hair)

But the fact still remains,that dry shampoos could be bliss for women on the go specially if you have an oily scalp. Get this if you have busy mornings and hate to tie your hair!
