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...

Things I Am Loving Lately...

Google Image Since, it is a month of love and things related to love, I thought why not throw in a post about things I've been loving lately... Well, I know the whole buzz about Valentines' Day and all the days preceding to it are not so much related about loving "things", so much as loving a person or people or even yourself. But, I am no expert on the subject to write anything lovey-dovey, so I will do what I think I know best, talk about things I have loved recently. Reading I won't classify myself to be a voracious reader or anything close to that, but every now and then, I enjoy a good book. Reading is a great way to realize how simple life can be, without all the complexities of the wifi and social media. I read a book by Sudha Murty - Wise And Otherwise, it was a good start to begin my reading game again, as it is a compilation of 51 short stories, mostly based on her experience and observations about day to day life. I am currently readin...

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 slightl...
