How's 2019 treating you all??
Last year was a great one in the beauty world with some great new launches and beauty trends. While the matte lips and blinding highlighters still continue to rock, the glossy-metallic makeup products are being seen getting back into action as well.
I like experimenting with different colours and products but let me admit, I do reach out for my favourite products most of the time.
So, I decided this time I'm gonna go out of my comfort zone and pick products from my stash that I generally don't put my hands on for the simple reason that is..I don't like them!!! Now you may find many of the cult favourite and very popular products in the list, just understand they didn't work for me!
Heading right away to the product list used to create this look:
- Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation - When Wet n Wild was launched in India, all of us were pretty excited to try this much raved, super affordable foundation. But it doesn't do anything good on me. I'm not a fan of it's coverage. Also I've noticed after a while it oxidizes on me. So..thumbs down!
- Maybelline Fit Me Compact - Another loved product in the budget beauty community that didn't work well on me. It doesn't sit well and set my foundation also I find it really drying.
- MUA Pro Mosaic Bronzer - Now this bronzer was created with an attempt to work both as a bronzer and a blush but sadly it fails as both. It is chalky, powdery, doesn't becomes one with the rest of the makeup. It's not really buildable and doesn't even give a contoured look.
- Accessorize Bronzing Block No. - Another dud product that claims to be multi purpose. It says its a bronzer, blush and highlighter all in one...fact...it's neither!!
- Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angel Palette - It would be wrong to say that I dislike this palette. There are eyeshadows in this that are adorable texture and shade wise. But this isn't a palette without which you can't do and that's the reason why I reach out to this palette the least.
- L'oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara - I'm still figuring out why I can't like this hugely raved dupe of Benefit They're Real Mascara. A part of me believes, that I wasn't sent the legit product because mine clumps real bad and taking it off after a day's work is just too much of a task for a mommy of two. Also everytime I try to remove it with all the oil based cleansers,I loose a few hair from my lashes in the rigorous process..so NOPE not for me!!
- NYX Vivid Brights Eyeliner in Fire - I really wanted to try one of these and went for the shade Vivid Fire. To begin with,it's not the kind of red it appeared on the website. It more of a red-pink and pinks somehow don't go too well with my complexion. Secondly, once it dries it feels like paint on the eyelids. It gives a stretchy and uncomfortable feeling. Thirdly, it looks a little bare when I use just this liner. It would be better to use it over a black eyeliner I guess. Honestly , I can do better with a liquid lipstick used as an eyeliner.
- Oriflame Lip Sensation Matte Mousse in Red Velvet - Well this product isn't hate worthy TBH. But being a comfy matte lip lover, I just don't reach out for glossy lips much. Also this transfer and bleeds and that's what keep me away from it.
That's All Folks
Much Love And Happy 2019

Yeah Yeah I can see a lot of NYX happening on the blog lately!!
And why not,some of their products are at par with their higher end counterparts while keeping the price line within the drugstore reaches. While NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Rome is the closest MLBB shade I have, this new baby is the one I'm wearing every other day these days.
Beauties we are talking about the NYX Suede Lipstick in Vintage!!
Price / Quantity: INR 850/4ml
NYX Suede Lipstick in Vintage comes in a rather hefty liquid lipstick tube packaging. It is colour-coded and bears the shade name on it..PRINTED and not on a flimsy sticker.. I love that NYX..thumbsup!! The applicator isn't doe-foot, yet because of it's flexibility it aids in precise application. In the pictures here, I haven't used a lip liner and applied directly from the tube applicator.
Vintage is a gorgeous gorgeous medium to deep toned plum brown with mauve/grey undertones. Its an unusual shade and thus difficult to explain. It is one shade that will look amazing on all skin tones specifically the duskier lovelies.
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHADE!
The texture is creamy...suede is the name..you get it? It's a very comfortable matte and doesn't dry out lips.
Pigmentation wise it'll disappoint you in the first swipe. Even though it swatches opaque on my hand, somehow it needs 3-4 applications for a smooth,seamless, opaque finish on the lips.
But oh boy! Once done I don't need a touch up for another 5 hours. So not a wee bit of complain there.
Products Used for this look are:
- Primer- Colorbar
- Foundation- Loreal True Match in + Revlon Colorstay in
- Concealer- Maybelline Conceal and correct in C10
- Contour- Kat Von D shade and light
- Highlighter- The Balm Mary Lou Manizer
- Blush- BH Cosmetics Blushed Neutrals palette
- Eyebrows- Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow pomade
- Eyeshadow- BH Cosmetics Blushed Neutrals and 120 palette
- Mascara- Sugar Cosmetics
- Falsies from ebay
- Lipstick- Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Vintage
All in All I'm seeing myself wearing a lot of VINTAGE this fall.
Much Love!!

A quick review of the nail polish that I totally digged in all through the winter...Maybelline Colorshow Bright Sparks in Molten Maroon.
Maybelline Colorshow nail paints was one of the best budget launches ever. They packaging is cute... the quantity just fine to finish in your lifetime... the shade range is pretty okay too!!
Comes in the regular color show round bottle with the shade name engraved on the bottle cap. I like this idea better than the details on the sticker thing.
It retails for 120/- rupees and is mostly on discount.
The shade Molten Maroon is a gorgeous deep wine/burgundy. After 2-3 coats, it becomes almost ox-blood...true love!!
I love to pair this nail paint with the Maybelline Creamy Matte liptick in Burgundy Blush
The picture is taken on the third day post application. You can see the edges getting slightly faded but definitely no chipping.
Hope you guys like it :)
Much Love

Heeeyyyyyaaa lovelies..
Here's hoping everyone's doing well and with the chill in the air, the bolder makeup is seeing the broad day light out of the stash.
Seriously speaking, deep dark shades and not worrying about the melting foundation are the only reasons why I love winters. Otherwise, I'm not a big fan of layering up. Even the smallest task seems huge when it's cold outside. Winter would be the favourite season of the homo sapiens who have the luxury of cuddling in a bed with their favourite book and coffee by their side. For a mom of two.. it's simply not!!! So what ends up being most pleasurable is not feeling overboard at the thought of deep rich colours.
Speaking of choice of colours, I have my own pantone colour of the year every season that might remotely have nothing to do with its official counterpart.
This year it's ox blood...slash..deepest wine... slash...dark burgundy...slash...deep maroon with a black undertone. I was getting intrigued by so many brands for this particular shade from lime crime to ABH to much pocket friendly nyx..but since I knew I wouldn't wear this every now and then I didn't wanna spend so much on it. So after searching high and low I landed to our good old Maybelline.

The lipstick in question is Maybelline Creamy Matte in the shade Burgundy Blush.
Price: INR 575 /-
Packaging:
I have nothing great to reveal in the packaging department because:A) Maybelline Creamy Lipsticks aren't new in the market and there is a possibility you already own one of its variant.
B) Maybelline hasn't explored any new territory in the packaging department.
Comes in the regular Maybelline colour sensational tube with a cool brown matte translucent cap.
The sticker having the shade name is colour coded.
Shade:
THE reason why I bought this lipstick is its ultra gorgeous dark chocolate with a hint of deep burgundy (ox-blood) shade. This is EXACTLY what I was hunting for. Burgundy Blush is a pretty close dupe of Lime Crime Wicked and Anastasia Beverly Hills Heathers. I can even trace its similarity with Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania which is a cult favourite fall lippy. It is clearly the deepest shade in my stash and I can see myself wearing it hell lot this winter.
Oh yes!! It makes teeth appear much whiter!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Texture:
If I had two hearts I would give one to this shade and another to its texture. It is very smooth to apply and it right away settles to a matte finish. The formula is very comfortable and non-drying. Its very light weight and feels like nothing on the lips.
Absolutely non-sticky...Absolute love!
Pigmentation:
BOMB!! Need I say more.. One swipe is all you need baby!!
Staying Power:
If you follow me on instagram, I posted a pic of me wearing this and it looked pretty presentable even after 9 longs hours. It doesn't stain but it doesn't move either.
How it looks on me..!
If you ever wished to have a deeeeeep lipstick for fall..BUY THIS asap!!

Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bolds In Fearless Purple 16: Review, Price and FOTD
Budget Belleza
19.8.17
14 Comments
Maybelline is one drugstore beauty brand that I totally love. It never fails to experiment and always remembers to fall in budget and to me these are two hugest clap-worthy qualities of a brand.
While taking a stroll of my blog I realized that even though I love and use Maybelline products a lot, I haven't reviewed them much. So, here I am with a much loved Maybelline Loaded Bolds Lipstick in Fearless Purple..!!
Brand Claims:
2. An opaque, creamy clay base deliver one-stroke intensity.
3. Dermatologist and allergy tested.
STEP 2: Glide the lipstick across the entire bottom lip
Price/ Quantity: INR 575/3.9gm
Shades Available:
Packaging:
No ground-breaking is happening here. Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bolds come in a regular color sensational range packaging. Just that the bullet cap coordinates to the colour family of the shade (they could have atleast properly colour-coded it i.e. the exact shade and not the colour-family)
Also, the bullet in my case is totally detached from the very base. Nooo..not broken..just that the whole bullet comes out clean from the base....which indicates..its weak!
Shade: Fearless Purple
Well the shade is what it says "Fearless Purple".
The sad part is that the camera isn't picking up the exact colour. Its deeper, more cool toned and less bright than what it appears here. The shade is a true purple. I didn't notice any undertones,it is pretty no-nonsense beautiful purple.
I would go on to say that it is hard to find this shade in drugstore brands. I did look for it earlier but all in vain!
The hush-hush beauty information is that Fearless Purple is a close dupe of Mac Heroine,since I don't own Heroine I can't claim it to be true!
Anyway, it will go well with all skintones equally.
SUPER LOVE the shade!!!
Texture:
It is creamy to apply and feel..a dream..I know..!!
It settles to a matte finish but not the drying, stretchy,dehydrated matte but a rather luscious matte.
It transfers slightly initially but that doesn't hamper its intensity and finish. Even after settling to a matte finish, it does not accentuate the fine lies which is pretty uncommon for the matte lipsticks.
Pigmentation:
This is hell of a pigmented lipstick. LOADED and BOLD both. Loaded and jam packed with pigment. It is truly a one-swipe lipstick and takes care of any amount of pigmentation you have on the lips.
Staying Power:
Hell Yeahhhh..I was waiting for this. It stayed on me WHOLE DAY.. and saw me through breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh yess!! It just won't go.
Now if you hate lipsticks that stain..switch tab..this isn't for you!!!
Even after 9+ hours, Fearless Purple didn't wear off, infact I was still pretty presentable lips-wise :P
It stains really badly and you'll need help of removers and oils to get rid of it.
Here's how it looks on me (though actually it comes out darker)
Over All Thoughts:
In love with the shade, texture and staying power!!

Inspired Looks are fun...be it watching or recreating myself. I would still maintain what I said in my Priyanka Chopra Inspired Look that watching transformation videos is probably my favourite leisure activity. I don't really know how far I do justice with the looks but the amount of love I received from you all for my Devasena Inspired Look of Bahubali and others keeps me going.
Deepika's Look
Coming to this picture of Deepika, ever since I came across it in Piku days I wanted to give it a try but something or the other kept emerging and the much wanted got delayed.
The look gets enhanced by her beautiful deep red and black chanderi saree with that thin golden border. The chaandbaalis did full justice to her evening out/occasion look.
Products Used
This is probably THE only look where I've used least amount of products. ( I hope you find them least since I use more than this for a regular occasion ;)
Getting back to the products used:
Face:
- Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Poreless foundation in Sun Beige 310
- Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder in Natural Buff 230
- Wet n Wild Blush in Pearlescent Pink
- Pro 120 Colour Eyeshadow Palette
- Maybelline Gel Eyeliner
- Lakme Eyeconic Kajal
- Colorbar Lash Illusion Mascara Duo
- Lakme 9to5 Creaseless lipstick in Brownie Point
- Miss Claire soft Matte Lip Cream in No.17
How I Did!!
- Since Deepika had a very basic and sheer makeup base, I skipped the primer and concealer and applied a very thin layer of foundation which was followed by the pressed powder just under the eyes and T-zone!
- Its probably for the first time that I skipped contouring and highlighting rather just applied the blush with the lightest hand on the apples of my cheek.
- I applied an orangey nude eyeshadow as the transition shade and a wash of matte black eyeshadow all over the lid. I applied the maybelline gel eyeliner giving it a slight wing and kohl in the waterline and tight-lined too.
- I skipped the falsies and just applies 2-3 coats of mascara.
- For the lips, I first applies the lipstick and then topped it with the lip cream for a nude matte look.
- Bindi, chaandbaali and saree in a similar hue completed the look.
Hope you guys like it!

Hallllooo Bellezas..!!!
Its been some time that I posted..writer's block..artist's block..blogger's block..or probably looking for something exciting other than the mundane review posting. Having said that,it's not like I don't like writing reviews but I go through passion-shifting phases in life ;) :P
Anyway, while the world is going gaga over Bahubali-2, I couldn't be left behind. It has been on a smashing ride on the box office ever since its release and this brought me to the idea of recreating the look of the female protagonist Devasena (played by Anushka Shetty) A little about the character:
Devasena (Anushka Shetty) is a princess from Kunthala region, a small but prosperous region in the fictional universe of Mahishmati. She is accomplished, a great warrior and archer who is constantly trying to better her art through diligent practice. Bahubali seems to be impressed more by her technique of martial arts than her beauty — he doesn’t just think of her as a beautiful person, but as someone much more than.

Now coming to back to the look that I have created:
Being honest, I've always loved taking part in programmes that required me to dress up in a regional attire..be it dance, skits and stuff at different academic levels. I'm so mesmerized by our country and its resplendent culture that even when I plan a vacation, I try to geographically cover the scattered Indian topographical beauty and foreign lands are still at bay even in my wishlist :)
Given my obsession to our culture and the rave that Bahubali 2 is creating, I thought why not make the most of it and Recreate my version of Devasena. Since Devasena is a princess, the look is a super glam one with heavily kohled eyes and bright attire. Gold jewellery is a characteristic feature of South India and Devasena being a royal couldn't be left behind.
To start off I searched my wardrobe for similar coloured saree and blouse of a matching hue (though it did not match :P) I found this bright hot pink saree with pearl embroidery that I wore for my engagement and the blue kanjivaram blouse is probably the only blue blouse I have!
The second major concern was the jewellery since makeup I knew I had plenty ;) The maangtika is from my wedding. The nath is Maharashtrian nath and I added my own nath's string to it to match the look. I obviously don't have the piercing to wear a septum ring or mookuthi as they call it in south India, so I wore a clip on ear cuff to do justice with the look. The jhumkaas and neckpiece are from my old ethnic jewellery collection.
Now coming to the makeup:
The feature that caught my attention was the heavy kohled eyes and the artistically painted bindi. But since a makeup base is a first step, after moisturizing my skin I applied Colorbar primer followed by Maybelline Fit Me matte n poreless foundation. I applied the Maybelline Fit Me compact only on the under eyes and the sides of the nose which tend to get oily otherwise. Even though the camera isn't catching,I applied The Balm Bahama Mama bronzer and wet n wild blush in pearlescent pink. For the quintessential kohled eyes, I applied a splash of dark brown eyeshadow and lined my upper lash line with the Lakme felt tip eyeliner. I lined my waterline with Lakme Eyeconic kajal and used the Lakme liquid eyeliner for the lower lash line. I applied a mild layer of Maybelline colossal mascara on the eyelashes thinking to wear the falsies later...which I FORGOT :P
For the lips I mixed Lakme 9to5 Rosy Sunday
For the bindi I was pretty purplexed. I searched everything in the house from liquid kumkum to poster colours and I had none.. after searching high and low (yes a BUDGET belleza won't buy stuff for a look..she would just work around what she has :P)
I landed on a liquid lipstick which was way too dark..I mixed some red lipstick (L'oreal Decked in Red) and painted the bindi with a triple 0 paint brush!
That's All folks!!! Hope you will like what I came up with :)
Pray to God I stay motivated to do more stuff :P
I'm praying too :D
xoxo
Aditi!
