M.A.C Lipstick - M.A.C Captive

M.A.C Lipstick - M.A.C Captive - Satin Finish

Who doesn't love M.A.C, right?

If there is one makeup related item which I cannot get over, it has to be LIPSTICKS! (lovingly called, Lippie)

Ok, Ok! Now to M.A.C Captive Lipstick:

I can go on and on and brag about how this lip shade is one the best shades to suit Indian skin tone. It is a berry-pink kinda shade. It is a satin finish formula, which is more matte than creme-sheen finishes from M.A.C, yet it is not a proper matte-matte finish, which means that it will remain put for a longer duration.

Having said that, it still lasts long and leaves back quite an even tone layer of color on the lips, being the shade that it is, the stain on the lip looks good without any hassle of re-application, so YAY! if you are on the GO!

Pros in terms of usage:

*Everyday color
*Easy formula to work with - Easy application
*Compliments most Indian skin tones
*Smells wonderful (well all M.A.C lipsticks do!)

Cons in terms of usage:

*Fair skin toned girls might find the shade more party or evening/night appropriate
*Not appropriate in terms of formula if one is not comfortable wearing brighter shades in a creamy/satiny formula.

My Take on the product:

I wear this shade both day and night time. Formula wise - Satin finish is my fave! I won't say this is the best lipstick I own from M.A.C, yet its one of the shades I am most inclined to when I want to portray that I have taken some effort on my looks, ha ha! :)

Overall its a lipstick purchase, which has a fair chance to be added back in my stash!

Bioderma Node DS+ Shampooing Review

Bioderma! A brand every skin/hair care fancying woman greedily hoards. Well in my case I needed to pick this "heaven sent" product to heed to my never-ending, every stalking dandruff problem. I have been facing persistent dandruff right since I was a kid, but with time and changing products the flaky snow on my head just got worse. I had been using The Body Shop - Ginger Anti Dandruff shampoo, as mentioned in my earlier post here , I never swore by it that it did any good or bad to my dandruff situation, but I still continue using it every once a while and avoid using it on my scalp off-late. I was recommended this shampoo by my dermatologist as I recently had some problem with an allergy on my lip (about that I will cover in another post - coming soon!) which was triggered by dandruff *sighs*. Ok back to Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo Claims of this product: - Reduces rapid increase of Malassezia yeast which triggers dandruff - Prevents recurre...

M.A.C Lipstick Review - M.A.C Matte Lipstick - Shade Diva

My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades. Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone. I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color. My First Impression: My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!" My...
