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!

Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum Review

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters. I started using the Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days. I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it. Now abou...

Makeup Revolution - Death By Chocolate

Today I will be reviewing on the Makeup Revolution - Death By Chocolate palette. This palette is well known for it being a dupe for the Too Faced - Chocolate Bar palette; however, in a much inexpensive option. There have been many arguments of it being a dupe or it not being a dupe, while weighing the pros n cons of each of the product. If you ask me, which is the better one? I do not know the answer, because I am yet to take the plunge on the pricier one. Anyway, I am in complete awe of this product, be it the packaging, the pigmentation, the color shade, the variety of matte and shimmers and mostly importantly the way it smells - So So So Wonderful! Shade Names: Left to right Top Row: White Light, Don't Let Go, Break Me Up, Consume Me, All is Lost Middle Row: Lick Me, Fool's Gold, One More Bar, Devour Me, Tear The Wrapper, Love You to Death Bottom Row: Pray for Me, Dipped, Tease Me, Set Me Free, Bring Down Angels Above, is my palette - y...

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color - Shade Cali Rose

I won't consider myself as a total lipstick junkie, but, yeah l ipsticks are my thing, no doubt, and no matter how I have this "love at first sight" obsession with new lip products, I always kinda make the lipstick and my relationship almost "playing hard to get" till I really I start using it. For this baby - I gave up, I GAVE UP! I AM USING IT NON-STOP, ever since I bought it. There are total 20 shades to choose from and the colors ranges from pink-peach, coral nude tones, to rosy pinks, to some really hot reds and then to those more vampy typa shades in burgundy and maroon. Which means, there is at least one for everyone in the bucket. Each of these beauties will cost your pocket INR 1700 for 3.4g of product, which in my opinion, is pretty decent for a high-end brand of lipstick. The packaging itself is this classy Bobbi Brown black matte case with the center portion of the case depicting the color of the product. This really helps whe...
