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 recurrence of da

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage. About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightly off

A Marks & Spencer Beauty: Mini Perfume Haul

I am all into miniatures these days and when I saw these beauties, I had to dig in. I have never been a perfume purchase person, as mostly they were gifted to me. I love a real good mist and was quite committed to Bath & Body Works and The Body Shop ones for a long time now so I decided lets switch that up and that is when I found these lil' devils and whats better than carrying these dinky yet amazing perfumes around for a spritz! There was an ample collection in all different sizes and notes, I am sure there is something for everyone. I was looking for an everyday type of a scent, so I picked up a day scent, an evening scent and a floral scent. Since they are so dinky and sturdy you can easily carry them in your smallest purses throughout the day. 1) Marks & Spencer Beauty: Lavender Eau De Toilette - This scent is from their floral collection, I never owned an ONLY lavender scent before, I sniffed it I loved it, it is a typical lavender subtle scent, yet it makes
